The King Who Resigned Because of a Woman he Loved and married.

Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II would never have become a queen if her uncle who was the former king Edward VIII had not abdicated and resigned in 1936, thus paving the way for her father George VI to become king?

Why did the king resigned?

Well, King Edward VIII loved a woman, Wallis Simpson. It turned out that the woman had divorced two times and she was someone with easy virtues. The marriage of a king to a former hook-up artist was considered scandalous and unacceptable by the British people.

The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and the Dominions opposed the marriage, arguing a divorced woman with two living ex-husbands was politically and socially unacceptable as a prospective queen consort. Additionally, such a marriage would have conflicted with Edward's status as titular head of the Church of England, which, at the time, disapproved of remarriage after divorce if a former spouse was still alive

With no resolution possible, the king renounced the throne on December 10 1936. The next day, Parliament approved the abdication instrument, and Edward VIII’s reign came to an ignoble end.

Edward duly signed the instruments of abdication at Fort Belvedere on 10 December 1936 in the presence of his younger brothers: Prince Albert, Duke of York, next in line for the throne; Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester; and Prince George, Duke of Kent. The document included these words: "declare my irrevocable determination to renounce the throne for myself and for my descendants and my desire that effect should be given to this instrument of abdication immediately".
His brother, the Duke of York, succeeded to the throne as George VI. Accordingly, George VI's elder daughter, Princess Elizabeth, became heir presumptive, and later became the Queen.

After the war, Edward spent the rest of his life in France. He and Wallis remained married until his death in 1972.

What Love cannot do does not exist.

Hun!.. Even the king's 2nd son did the same.. I guess the queen was a stronger version of them all

Nlfpmod, don't you think this is front page worthy?

So it remains for his descendents not to curse him out, my only question is would the hookup girl do the same if the tables where turned around? give up fame, money, jewelry, sit at home, eat, be served like a princess, that's every woman's dream, I don't think so

Bross, the thing serious oh, I just read more on the matter and I'm in disbelief.

The woman was a chronic cheat to the point that she became infertile due to abortion.

She was even ultra hypergamous, leaving her 2nd husband because of the depression of the 30s.

The king was the biggest Simp on the planet. He had no inheritance and children because of her.

Simping get levels. DAMN!
