        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.

        Wouldn’t it be great if hundreds of men resigned from positions of power each turning them over to the woman he loves.

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

        Do you think his abdication had more to do with his relationship with Hitler?

        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.

        When Cosmo Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, harshly critized the ex-king a few days later, an observer wrote: My Lord Archbishop, what a scold you are! And when your man is down, how bold you are! Of Christian charity, how scant you are! And, auld Lang Swine, how full of Cantuar!
