HE WALKED AWAY! Edward VIII: Never Crowned King (FULL DOCUMENTARY) Elizabeth II, Abdication, Royal

Edward VIII, the king never crowned, abandoned his throne for the woman he loved, Wallis Simpson, and went from being a man of honour to a man of nothing and even scorned man. His life was a tumultuous one, full of romance and mystery. He was a milestone in the British monarchy's turning point, and his abdication ushered in the Elizabethan era.
Allowing his unlikely brother George VI to become king and the then Princess Elizabeth, later becoming the monarch of England, Elizabeth II. Edward VIII is arguably one of the best representations of absolute romance in Royal history.

"THE WOMAN HE LOVED " THERE WAS NO LOVE BETWEEN EDWARD AND WALLIS - READ THE LETTERS WALLIS WROTE TO HER HUSBAND SIMPSON ! LIKE HARRY; MEGHAN; EDWARD USED WALLIS TO ESCAPE THE RF AND HIS DUTIES ! FOR WALLIS IT WAS FINANCIAL SECURITY AND A LUXURIOUS LIFESTYLE IN EXCHANGE !

[@devilsfavorite999]

Luxury?

[@cra0422]

On his political attitudes, the quote "if you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas" would greatly apply. I've always felt that he wanted a life with all the perks of royalty without any of the duties and responsiblilities.

[@terryowings5667]

Wallis Simpson wasn't exactly a kind-hearted woman....she was part of the gossip going around about the future George VI that he had a slow brain! They (Wallis & Edward) were both very inward looking!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Wallis Simpson was a horrible harridan and a gold digger, a black widow and a dominatrix - I never liked her

[@MotherOfTerriers]

The people that said that Edward was a man of the people really had no idea, he had no clue or desire to know how the people lived, what they thought or wanted. Modern and forward thinking, as long as he was in charge, was the center of attention and got whatever he wanted.

A lot of parallels with Harry and his wife

Only that both women have been unfairly pilloried and both men were looking for a way out

[@dorothyarida4073]

That doesn't make sense. Harry is the spair heir. William is the heir apparent. If anything, William is half crazy and doing exactly what his father did to Diana. With that said, if Harry wants to leave with his wife and children, that's his perogative. He doesn't Shirk his duties. He just wanted to keep his wife and children safe. William, on the other hand, is underhanded, an adulterous violent bastard. Just like his daddy.

As broadcaster Julie Birchell said....if Edward the VIII had resigned the British would have ended up saluting that flag with the big ugly spider on it and eating bratwurst for breakfast!

If the Brits count the uncrowded Edward VIII sd a king, so Jane Grey must be counted as the Queen Regnant too.

[@jeffreycruz5148]

Edward VIII was a legitimate king. Jane was a usurper.

[@unclenelvis]

Yea that’s not really how historical facts work.

[@NebulaBull]

He is counted because he actually was however he did not wait for his coronation and therefore never was crowned king

[@user-fq8rs7rz3i]

Yes, that makes sense. And we do refer to her as Queen, but somehow she’s not really given her rightful place in history.

[@carlousmagus5387]

She is, or should be.

A spoiled man who found a woman who was a gold digger who found the perfect man to fulfill her every want. Thankfully Edward abdicated

Hey Really Royal, I just watched your video and I must say it's really helpful and well made. I was wondering if I could help you design your thumbnails for better CTR? Wanna try out a free one?

[@user-fq8rs7rz3i]

Sorry, I know this isn’t really important but Edward viii was not handsome. He was weak and insipid looking. And he was short and incredibly unmanly. Poor Wallis didn’t want him long term, she was far to clever to be with such a dullard. She got much more than she bargained for.

[@marlenewolffe4613]

Thank you. I totally agree!

[@richardbeall1076]

This documentary is very poor. The commentators citing historical inaccuracies and failing to provide a lack of context simply appear as second-rate historians. If anyone is genuinely interested in Edward VIII, Duchess of Windsor or the royals of this era please do look at some of the very good biographies by historians who have properly researched their subjects. This piece is just awful!

Full truth now coming out in 2024 ? Embracing completely 😊

This is not new info. They just keep churning it out with different commentators.
