The Year of Three Kings (2024)

[@SalemVineyard]

Such an interesting time for the monarchy. King Edward would've been a disaster for the future. Thank God for King George VI.

[@johnkeller6063]

Y'all should thank Mrs Simpson

[@netram28]

At 9:07 the narrator seems to imply that it was his investiture as Prince of Wales that made the Prince next in line for the throne. The Prince had been next in line from the moment Edward the 7th died,. He would have inherited the throne even without the title Prince of Wales had his father died before the investiture.

[@simonf8902]

Correct.

[@leonblittle226]

Be in do doubt, the Crown being on the head of George 6th is exactly where England and the World needed it to be.

[@mrskenscott9643]

Great doc. Lots of different footage I've never seen. Thanks.

[@jilltagmorris]

This was WAY BETTER than i expected. Lotsnof different footage! ❤😊

[@christibaldridge2199]

There COULD NOT have been 2 living Kings in Britain in the 1st place. Edward wouldve continually sought to undermined King George VI, and King George VI would NOT have taken too kindly to it.

[@suemcgregor9248]

George's Queen simply wouldn't have it

[@johnkeller6063]

King George 6 th was a great king and good man . He thought his daughter Elizabeth well. Also maybe the UK should thank Mrs Simpson as well.

[@ravinp371]

Did anyone else laugh a little when someone said Wallis Simpson was loyal?

[@AndreTNY]

I mean was she not sleeping with Ribbentrop behind Edward’s back? She was a schemer to be sure.

[@florencehall9445]

Excellent documentary ….. but Why does the music have to be so loud?. It drowns out the commentary.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Many decades, if not almost a century later, in Spring 2024, all I can feel about the current state of our world today, even since 2020 is a deep sense of heartbreak and total despair, coupled with a deep and fearful sense of foreboding at what is yet to come in the years and decades ahead - I earnestly hope and fervently pray for direct divine intervention from Almighty God to resolve our current heartbreaking situation in a way that no earthly effort of mankind can ever come close to possibly achieving 💔😪😔🙏

Calling Edward the Viii as handsome a stretch. Like calling Charles and Camilla virtuous

[@louiseowusu246]

This is a fascinating documentary but the music makes it hard to concentrate on.

[@AndreTNY]

I eventually had to stop watching as the apologists for Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII were insufferable. I look forward to their work on Prince Harry and his wife in the future.

Excellent - in its use of archive film; fresh historians who were not the usual former polytechnic DEI maniacs (who are neither representative or diverse); and a clear mission simply to present and explain this timeless story for a new audience. Well done.

[@rw4754]

Edward & George had an abusive, sadistic nanny also. She was fired when Queen Mary found out.

[@user-lc9qc3rp1k]

Even if Edward and Wallis remained king and queen, George the Sixth still will become king as they didn’t have children because Wallis couldn’t . This would mean Elizabeth the second will not be queen in 1952 but later making her reign shorter than 70 years.

[@kmrose]

If Edward and Wallis had remained King and Queen, then the Nazis would've invaded the UK.

[@alanbrown9520]

Why did you say Miss Simpson? She was Mrs Simpson

[@LS-fd6tl]

15:30 - Describing Wallis as "loyal" she cheated on her SECOND husband with her future THIRD ffs 😂 Edit: you can tell she's a feminist, 3/4 the way through now, and she's full on defending and trying to portray Wallis as a good person/victim 🙄

[@mikealvord55]

George the sixth wasn’t the first monarch to be king while his predecessor was still alive ever heard of Henry the sixth and Edward

[@herondelatorre4023]

@mikealvord55 : What about Queen Mary II and her husband King William III reigning while Mary's father former King James II was still living. Also a few centuries earlier when young King Edward III was reigning his father former King Edward II was still living for about 8 months after being overthrown until his wife ( Edward III's mother ) had him secretly killed.

They forgot mention about Wallis' involved with the Nazi ambassador too. Yes, she was just as bad Edward VIII. They deserved each other.

[@nmr6988]

For those complaining about the loudness of the music, it's your older speakers which are to blame. Mine have a feature that balances out the two different stereo streams. It's not really the fault of the makers of the documentary.

[@bob-gz7px]

Really, interesting and well done. Thank you.

[@iTammy]

These Royal men from the past had beautiful blue eyes!! That was the first thing I noticed when I saw footage from them! Even black and white footage shows that! Very handsome men 😊

[@kevinellis8307]

I’m just Wowwed… I was aware of most, but still this brings everything to light.

[@elizabethroberts6215]

………Edward was very stupid, & very lazy. He was improper with security of Govt. papers’. He just wanted to continue with his louche life. No loss whatsoever when he was made to abdicate. Great disaster averted.

[@NIckyFromDunedin]

the Windsors as we know them today are not the English royal family, they are the British royal family, i have never heard them called the English royal family before and the music is way too loud, im afraid i cant watch any more, i tried with the subtitles on but it's too painful, perhaps you could adjust the level of the music

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Given the history that we have truthful accounts of, I am very critical of the Edwardians from 1901-1910 as they totally abandoned their sense of duty and moral values, so highly prized in the Victorian Age and they also squandered the benefits of the conquest of empire, threatening its safety, security & stability and the gains made in the Industrial Revolution - their hedonism and selfishness also unwittingly created the conditions for WWI to happen in 1914, regardless of their reasons for their actions

[@sananselmospacescienceodys7308]

Everyone talks about how attractive King Edward was. I'm not seeing it. He wasn't exactly Brad Pitt.

[@carolinezook]

There’s no doubt that George and Mary weren’t the best of parents but people, and especially one of these “experts”, can’t seem to realize that almost everything we know about them comes from a child who wanted to blame his parents for all his problems. None of the other children was such a loser. I’ve got to add that the reading of Wallis seems to me to be so woefully misplaced that I can’t even continue watching. Couldn’t the producers of this documentary afford to spend the money on a real expert?

[@pinkosmondfan]

Bingo.

[@samkohen4589]

There is a great series The King and Mrs Simpson broadcast on PBS available on KZbin. Worth seeing

22:32 Couldn't they have found a bigger hat?

[@pinkosmondfan]

Whenever people start moaning about what poor parents George Mary were, they lose all credibility. They were very good parents and were much more involved with their children than most at the time. Their children didn't hate them. These people need to do more research. George was an excellent father. Relying solely on Edward's whining as a source is ridiculous. You probably also think Charles is a bad parent because "the spare" wrote a book about not getting enough attention. Despite all evidence to the contrary.

[@BarbaraJoanneBJ]

Oh no. Again, again , again, the overlay of hideous music that makes this unwatchable. Why bother with the upload?

[@yellyman5483]

There was no war in 1936. It was completely legit to deal with Germany at that time. The UK had mass unemployment an poverty. Germany did not have either. That is what Edward VIII admired. He thought the current tory PM did too little for creating jobs, and he also thought the tory party did too little for the unemployed.

[@Desert-Father]

Your opinion is very dated. Edward and Wallis Simpson were not simply interwar admirers of the Nazis, which is contemptable enough. They were sympathizers and collaborators, which is indefensible. After Edward abdicated, he and Wallis visited Hitler during their honeymoon. Wallis had affairs with Von Ribbontropp and passed him intelligence. Even after the outbreak of war, Edward and Wallis passed intelligence to the Nazis through Spain and Portugal as late as 1940. They were traitors. The recent declassification of British state papers confirms it.
