Edward VIII became king in January 1936. He was a modern, popular prince, but his relationship with American divorcée Wallis Simpson was a constitutional crisis waiting to happen. #EdwardVIII #RoyalScandal

#EdwardVIII abdicated #OnThisDay in 1936 supposedly to be with American divorcée Wallis Simpson; the abdication was a good thing given that they both were #Nazi sympathizers, which points out just one of many problems with monarchy...
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1936, the UK dodged a bullet when King #EdwardVIII abdicated his throne before being crowned. He was in love with a twice-divorced American, #WallisSimpson, and was not allowed to marry her. That he was a fucking #NaziSympathizer was apparently just fine.

As a reader, I would be disinclined to build my #EpsteinBallroom against the wishes of the people I served given the #Charles1 end-of & #EdwardVIII abandoned coronation #BanquetingHouse kerfuffles.
Alas, we're not all readers, & some of us don't even have friends that read. #ETTD #LeakEpstein
King Edward VIII cypher on a building. It has the crown at the top, then ER in the middle and 1936 at the bottom.

#EdwardVIII cyper. Very rare cos he wasn't on the throne for long. This used to be a #GPO building. Or would that have been #PostOffice? Either way it opened when he was on the throne (not the loo!)I doubt many locals know about it.

Only known statue of Edward Prince of Wales, later Edward VIII then Duke of Windsor. By Mario Rutelli 1922. Outside the former university buildings on Aberystwyth sea front. #Wales #EdwardVIII #Statues
Wallis Warfield Simpson married the former #EdwardVIII #OnThisDay in 1937; the Duke & Duchess of Windsor may have had style, but they were right-wing #Nazi sympathizers & the #UnitedKingdom was better off without Edward VIII as king during World War II~!

George V died #OnThisDay in 1936 & was succeeded by #EdwardVIII whose father predicted he wouldn't last a year; it was prescient, as he abdicated less than 11 months later, succeeded by George VI — a good thing since the elder brother was a #Nazi sympathizer~! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_VIII

Is this out of respect for his Nazi family?

Isn't it cheaper for #KingCharles to send him into exile somewhere with his ex-wife? Same deal #EdwardVIII had so it's not easy for him to get back into UK 😂

Did the British government suppress evidence that might have prevented #WallisSimpson’s divorce?
