    Controversial, to be sure. But at least he had the decency to acknowledge that attending the coronation would not be appropriate under the circumstances. Unlike some other people we know nowadays.

    My Dad, a WWII British Army veteran, always said if Edward became King we would be speaking German because of his leanings toward Hitler and Wallis had leanings also.

    It's history repeating itself with Harry. Only that Harry is not have the decency to acknowledge that his presence would be awkward.

    Why do all these royals have so many first names?

    I find it amazing that Edward couldn't become king because of his wife's divorces, but KING CHARLES, THIS WAS OK.

      Conspiracy says, he couldn’t become King if he married Wallace was a coverup. The real reason was his views and support on the Nazi.

      Then you have t understood the reasons, which I find amazing given the amount of knowledge about these two which has been covered by many creditable authors and which you have failed to grasp.

    Because of this abdication and the problems the royal family and the British nation had to face then, princess Margaret could not get married to her perfect match, Townsend....

    3:30, Edward's relationship with Hitler.

    Based on everything I've read and seen, i believe his abdication was a good thing.

    What a contradiction! A religion that began because a king wanted to divorce and then this same religion becoming intolerant of divorce 🙄 unless the reason for Edward VII had more to do with his political sympathy for Hitler and if that’s the case, then the UK should be very grateful to Wallis who, I understand, didn’t really want to marry Edward. He pushed her to do so whan he mentioned her in his abdication speech.
