Best thing that ever happened to the UK. Got rid of a Nazi sympathizer, and in return, got a fine King, and the future Queen Elizabeth II, who has served her country well. The entire nation should have sent Wallis Simpson a thank you card.

Season 2 of The Crown is awesome. They go after Edward VIII for his support of the Nazis during WWII.

I have wondered after watching The Crown, if he ever regretted the decision to give up the throne for her.

Currently reading a biography of Edward VIII - don't think he would have made a good king. Plus the line would have gone to George's children anyway since Edward would never have children.
