THE KING who lost it all

Unlike Charles IIT who made a divorcee his Queen, his great uncle Edward was forced to give up his throne
THE KING who lost it all

I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love…’

Once the wildly popular monarch, he would never feel welcome in Britain again and would live the rest of his life a somewhat embarrassing outcast. And the reason he felt compelled to surrender the throne was that he wished to marry a divorced woman.
