Queen Mary died in 1953. In 1967, the Duke returned to England for the centenary celebration of the late Queen Mary. It was his sister in law Princess Marina that died in 1968. The funeral of Princess Marina was the last royal ceremony attended by the Duke of Windsor.

Given the Duke's affection for Hitler and fascism, it was a break for Great Britain that he was more interested in himself than the empire. His brother was a better man for the country in every respect.

sad thing was that in letters revealed later, she never wanted to marry him - sometimes people got swept up in the fun times that were the pre-war years and then they were stuck with the results....
@ffotograffyddАй бұрын
They weren’t swept up in anything, well except fascism. It was a marriage arranged to disguise the real reason the King abdicated. If they’d been anyone else they’d have found themselves inside a prison cell. Instead they were bound to each other for the rest of their lives. They deserved each other.

@ffotograffyddАй бұрын
They’re the British Royal Family, and have been since 1707. And it was nothing to do with marrying for love, that was just the cover story at the time because the government thought it would damage moral to tell people that their Kings was a fascist. Documents since released show that the British Secret Service had surveillance on them both since the early 1930s and knew exactly what they were up to with their trips to the German Embassy and visits to see Hitler.

Given he was a buddy of Hitler’s we’d likely not been involved in WWII and the whole of Europe would have spent decades fighting fascism. Just as well his father had Secret Service surveillance put on him from the early 1930s and the government knew what he was long before he was King. The ‘marrying for love’ story was just a ruse.

And that edward wanted Britain bombed so that the nazis would put him back on the throne as the head of a puppet srate. Yep, we would have had a really peaceful time of it!
