    1936 saw three kings of England, in a year that greatly unsettled the monarchy. Following the death of George V, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Edward VIII, who a few months later abdicated and was exiled to France, and his younger brother George VI ascended to the throne. This was a time of great crisis and instability for the English royal family, calling into question the role and relevance of the monarchy in a world in the midst of change.

    There COULD NOT have been 2 living Kings in Britain in the 1st place. Edward wouldve continually sought to undermined King George VI, and King George VI would NOT have taken too kindly to it.

    At 9:07 the narrator seems to imply that it was his investiture as Prince of Wales that made the Prince next in line for the throne. The Prince had been next in line from the moment Edward the 7th died,. He would have inherited the throne even without the title Prince of Wales had his father died before the investiture.

    Excellent - in its use of archive film; fresh historians who were not the usual former polytechnic DEI maniacs (who are neither representative or diverse); and a clear mission simply to present and explain this timeless story for a new audience. Well done.

    Many decades, if not almost a century later, in Spring 2024, all I can feel about the current state of our world today, even since 2020 is a deep sense of heartbreak and total despair, coupled with a deep and fearful sense of foreboding at what is yet to come in the years and decades ahead - I earnestly hope and fervently pray for direct divine intervention from Almighty God to resolve our current heartbreaking situation in a way that no earthly effort of mankind can ever come close to possibly achieving 💔😪😔🙏

    Even if Edward and Wallis remained king and queen, George the Sixth still will become king as they didn’t have children because Wallis couldn’t . This would mean Elizabeth the second will not be queen in 1952 but later making her reign shorter than 70 years.

    Given the history that we have truthful accounts of, I am very critical of the Edwardians from 1901-1910 as they totally abandoned their sense of duty and moral values, so highly prized in the Victorian Age and they also squandered the benefits of the conquest of empire, threatening its safety, security & stability and the gains made in the Industrial Revolution - their hedonism and selfishness also unwittingly created the conditions for WWI to happen in 1914, regardless of their reasons for their actions

    There’s no doubt that George and Mary weren’t the best of parents but people, and especially one of these “experts”, can’t seem to realize that almost everything we know about them comes from a child who wanted to blame his parents for all his problems. None of the other children was such a loser. I’ve got to add that the reading of Wallis seems to me to be so woefully misplaced that I can’t even continue watching. Couldn’t the producers of this documentary afford to spend the money on a real expert?

    There was no war in 1936. It was completely legit to deal with Germany at that time. The UK had mass unemployment an poverty. Germany did not have either. That is what Edward VIII admired. He thought the current tory PM did too little for creating jobs, and he also thought the tory party did too little for the unemployed.

    • @Desert-Father

      Your opinion is very dated. Edward and Wallis Simpson were not simply interwar admirers of the Nazis, which is contemptable enough. They were sympathizers and collaborators, which is indefensible. After Edward abdicated, he and Wallis visited Hitler during their honeymoon. Wallis had affairs with Von Ribbontropp and passed him intelligence. Even after the outbreak of war, Edward and Wallis passed intelligence to the Nazis through Spain and Portugal as late as 1940. They were traitors. The recent declassification of British state papers confirms it.
