    Wallace’s letters to her ex husband sounded like she not only didn’t want Edward to abdicate, but that she didn’t love him and felt trapped by their relationship.

    Great documentary, thank God he didn't become King, but the man definitely had style and class.

      He reigned as King and Emperor for almost a year under the name King Edward VIII.

    Frida Dudley Ward was not the mistress of Edward the seventh; it was Edward the eighth

    He was a very weak man. An absolute disgrace. Thought more about drinking and partying than anything else. A traitor. A fascist. A deserter from Royal Navy. A thoroughly disreputable character

    On tour of the coal mining district, he asked an unemployed miner about the nanny for the miner's children. Out of touch. Stupid.

      No he didn`t. Edward VIII had great sympathy for the unemployed and wanted social programs to help them out. He criticized the then Tory Prime Minister Baldwin for doing absolutely nothing to help poor people.

    ……new book, ‘The King Who Had To Go’, by Adrian PHILLIPS, is about the politicking surrounding the Abdication crisis………

    Pretending he was different from his predecessors is ridiculous. Before he was king, Edward VII was notorious. His wife Alexandra was a fashion icon.

    OMG… no emotional warmth, no love. His brother was much better as a father! If Edward would have been a serial killer, he would have gotten off due to his past! He should have grown up! Thank goodness he didn’t become king!

    All of you who blame Edward have no idea what it was like for him because you prob wish you had the life he had with luxury....But money cant solve all problems and to me in all the documentaries I have watched about him it seems like his parents were the problem and all he wanted was their love which he found in Wallace......

      He was a nazi sympathizer. He was a criminal and possibly a murderer. He was the worst thing that could have happened to Britain!!

      I Agreed , He was the people's King ..How can they talk about alleged Nazi ties , they were German...
      Maybe we should just discuss Prince Jackass Andrew.

      He was pro German. Documents show he told Hitler the best way to win would be bomb England into submission. He would have handed England to Hitler. He loved Germany.

      ……you need to read book, ‘The Traitor King’, by Andrew LOWNIE, to learn what he was really like. Your comment suggests you know nothing about him………
