Edward VIII Abdication 10th Dec 1936
Posted on February 23, 2021 by irishroverpei
I don’t suppose his photo hangs on the wall in Buckingham Palace!!! Edward caused serious concerns in 1936 when he stated he would marry Mrs. Simpson. Already once divorced and awaiting a second divorce to be finalized before she could marry the King of England. Prime Minister Baldwin would have none of it. An American divorcee as the Queen consort, that would never happen!. In all this Royal turmoil, rumours swirled around the nation suggesting she was a NAZI agent and or sympathizer. It was suspected she was having an affair with Joachim von Ribbentrop, Germany’s Nazi Ambassador to the United Kingdom at the time. In the photo we can clearly see why the British Government was concerned and why Edward was sent off to the Bahamas during the war years. Certainly a tumultuous event in the history of the British Monarchy. The photo show Adolph Hitler greeting Edward and Mrs. Simpson whilst on a visit to NAZI Germany.
Cheers and keep reading.
