After he abdicated, in the interviews he gave and in his public statements, he seemed to be going out of his way to impress listeners with his understanding of politics, govt, issues of the day, and the bigwigs and influencers, many of whom he recounted as knowing personally, as if to suggest he would have made a fine king....had he just been able to marry Wallis. But recall that he abdicated, after serving nine months in 1936, so he did have a try-out in the position, and perhaps decided it didn't suit him and he wanted out. Ironically, he wasn't happy being king, and it seems wasn't happy in his private life afterwards either.

@Petek Demircioglu Celebi No, it is not true: George VI had absolutely no wish to be king - it was forced on him because he was next in line and, being a dutiful son, he had no choice. His wife had no wish for him to be king either and blamed Edward for the early death of her husband. She could hardly have done so if George had been a willing conspirator. Baldwin (the PM) and Cosmo Gordon Lang (the Archbishop of Canterbury), on the other hand, did conspire: they had already determined that Edward was unsuitable for a variety of reasons and used Wallis Simpson as a convenient excuse to get rid of him.

To me, the one unforgivable thing Edward did was palling around with the Nazis while his brother was trying to hold down the fort. That’s really where Edward looks fatally flawed. Not because he gave up the throne. He knew his brother didn’t want the throne anymore than he did, but was put in a very tight spot. I can understand Edward not liking quite a bit of people in the Royal family. There’s no doubt a lot of snobbery involved. But George was a genuinely down to earth, good guy. He deserved better from his brother. The least he could have done was had his back, even if he cut contact from everyone else. Not hanging out with a psychopath.

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve fallen for the propaganda. Bertie and his wife were a very ambitious couple and they orchestrated a coup together with the prime minister and bishop of Canterbury. The whole Nazi thing is just smoke and mirrors. Entire aristocracy including the royal family at the time of Edwards visit to Germany felt that war against Germany was not a good idea and that they should try to appease him. Even the Prime Minister went to visit Hitler and see if they could negotiate, this was around the same time Edwards visit. Churchill was an outlier for knowing appeasement won’t work with hitler, and he managed to persuade parliament after many years, eventually became prime minister in charge of the war. There is no evidence at all that Edward had any contact with Nazis or showed any sympathy after his visit. All of it has been manufactured by royal historians who get their sources from the same royal family who orchestrated the coup.

The Royal family are paid for by the taxpayer, but the deal is they represent the very best of the United Kingdom, that their behavior sets and example for the common person to strive towards. But if they behavior like common people, then they should have the same treatment as "common" people. They should have no special privilege nor lands or money. The Duke of Windsor behavior was like that of a normal person, he fell in love with someone and wanted to marry them, if he is nothing more than a normal person then he should be treated as such. Yet throughout his life he lived in luxury and a generous allowance by the taxpayer who he so savagely let down.

@MrBulky9922 жыл бұрын
Churchill supported Edward VIII during the abdication crisis and spoke up for him. The speech to the country delivered by Edward VIII on the radio was written by Churchill ("I cannot bear the heavy burden...without the support of the woman I love" etc.). Churchill turned against him after the abdication when he realised his mistake. Edward's support of the Nazis continued, his 'state visit' to Germany, his passing of intelligence in WWII when in uniform on the British Army to the Germans prior to the invasion of France, desertion from his post in France in World War II and flight to Portugal (Churchill threatened him with court martial if he failed to return to his duties), his defeatism during his tenure of governor of The Bahamas and his illegal currency transactions following the War. There is enough documentary evidence against him including intelligence documents from the Nazi era in Germany which name the "Herzog von Windsor" as the source of vital information. There are also letters in the archives of Windsor Castle never released. These were obtained from a castle in southern Germany on secret instructions from Buckingham Palace. The deputation included Sir Anthony Blunt - these letters had to be found before the American occupying forces found them. Let us also not forget the cruel and callous comments he made when he was younger about his youngest brother, Prince John. He was self-indulgent and self-absorbed and the word "duty" meant nothing to him, unlike his brother George VI.

Churchill was almost alone in the British establishment in supporting Edward in the abdication crisis. It was yet another reason the establishment disliked Churchill, considering him to have (despite formidable gifts in writing, oratory) poor judgement. But yes, once the abdication happened, Churchill swung around immediately to give his full support to the new king. And Churchill's strong anti-Nazi stance also created a rift, such as how Churchill threatened to have Edward court-martialed if he did not return home to England rather than hanging around in Portugal (a den of Nazi spies and intrigue).

Although Churchill supported this jerk, he was the complete opposite Edward. Churchill was brave and always ready to do his duty as he saw it. Edward was unintelligent, self-centered, and waiting for the Nazis to invade England and put him back on the throne as a figure-head King.

Winston Churchill was an Ashkenazi Jew through his mother Jeanette Jerome, and he was a compulsive gambler who was bankrupt in the 1930s. He was rescued by wealthy Ashkenazi Jews on the condition that he lobbied Parliament for a war with Hitler's Germany- which no one wanted- least of all Hitler. The real enemy in 1939 was Josef Stalin- he was a real threat to Europe and the British Empire. But people like me get called "revisionist historians" when all I'm telling is the simple truth. The war with geramny was totally unnecessary, and was the result of a huge propaganda exercise. Also, Britain could have the Ashkenazi Jews much more effectively by bringing Hitler under their influence through an alliance against Stalin, then by shutting him out and sealing the fate of all those he put in concentration camps - which did not only include Jews.

@Christabel Montague You see, you're lying now. Out of your teeth, there is no archaeological evidence to prove noah's ark existed and I don't respect YOUR views on heliocentrism as you throw it out so casually without understanding what it means. As for replying like this, grow up and stop crying over the way someone replies on KZbin comments.

Churchill is far less impressive to me than Bronson, Ray Winstone, this Duke here or the Gypsyking Tyson Fury. Like 1000 times less impressive. Nobles know people and mentailities, that`s why were the leaders for a super long time.

Love him. They can say what they like about him, but the truth is he gave up everything. The sun didn’t set on his empire and he gave it all up. No one else could, would do that. The greed in everyone else can’t comprehend this and therefore come up with lame reasons to demonise and scrutinise him. He is the KING!

Edward? Super człowiek i przywalony politycznymi sprawami ,kierowanymi wiadomo przez jaką nację. Szkoda, że tacy ludzie nie rządzą, wspomagając się odpowiednimi wielkimi ludżmi? Świat byłby normalny i przyjazny , zdatny do życia. Szkoda ,że niszczono tak Wielkiego Teslę ,a dzieci znają dziś wyłącznie niemal nazwisko Einsteina /bardziej metafizyka wg Tesli/, choć nie dorównuje Tesli ,jeśli idzie o postęp dla lepszego życia ludzi. Równania niebotyczne ,nic nie dające ludziom i błądzące w jakby "sztuce dla sztuki', teorie nieprawdziwe itd. - zaprzątają bezkrytycznie do dziś głowy pokoleń ? Wierzę Tesli, który powiedział: "teoria m.in. Einsteina / bardziej metafizyka/ jest jak żebrak ubrany w purpurę, którego ignoranci biorą za króla" ./Wg w/w NT, eter i oddziaływanie w nim zaprzecza wielu teoriom itd./?
