He was the most unfair king in Commonwealth history. In order to marry a married woman, he voluntarily gave up the throne.
. He was obviously a member of the British royal family, but he defected to the fascists and was willing to give to the Nazi spies.
Today I will talk to you about this former British king - Edward VIII
[Edward Neptune]
Edward VIII was born on June 23, 1894. His father was the founder of Windsor Dynasty George V , great-grandmother is the famous Queen Victoria , his younger brother George VI is also the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II , and the old British meter flag belongs to yes.
, and Edward is also the eldest son of the old king. He was awarded the title of " Prince of Wales " at the age of 17, which is equivalent to being made the crown prince in China.
Since ancient times, the British crown prince has been required to join the army, and Edward is no exception. He served in British Royal Navy and grenadiers, and participated in the First World War and got a battle medal back.
After returning to China, the British people had a good impression of this prince who dared to go to the front line. In addition, he was very handsome and had a very easy-going personality. Women who liked her at that time could circle around London three times.
If you only look at these, Edward can be said to have a bright future and may also be a wise ruler in the future. But he was romantic and hooked up with women everywhere, and in today's terms he was a Aquaman.
During the First World War, others were still fighting on the front line, so he hooked up with the famous French prostitute Mary Gert and wrote many love letters to her. Later, the two broke up and Mary Gert got ashore and got married.
Unexpectedly, one day, Mary Gort murdered her husband. Now the British media couldn't sit still and collectively began to write a short essay with the title "Edward's Old Lover", with the contents being more bizarre than the other. Later, the British royal family spent a lot of money on it. Suppressed this matter.
Later, Edward's taste became more and more tricky. He felt that it was boring to fall in love with a normal woman, so he began to focus on other people's wives. Since then he has often dated married women and has prepared a luxurious castle for this.
Even aquaman like Edward was still fascinated by a woman. In order to marry her, Edward even voluntarily gave up the throne. This person is the British version of Wendi Deng - Walis Simpson
[UK Wendi Deng]
Walis was born on June 19, 1896. Her father was a wealthy businessman, but she was an illegitimate daughter, so her status was relatively awkward. She often used to be a child when she was a child. She was rolled by others, which made her secretly resolve to make everyone respect her in the future.
However, women were still relatively low at that time, and they lacked ways to climb up. The only way to make a name for themselves was to marry a good husband. Therefore, Hualisi has always paid great attention to body management and dressed up carefully before going out, always preparing to catch a rich son-in-law.
1916, Walis married a British officer. This officer was not a good husband. Not only would he cheat on Walis after getting drunk, but he also cheated on him later. However, Hualis herself is not a good person, and she has many lovers. Once she accidentally got pregnant. As a result, perhaps because her medical level was not good at that time, she lost her fertility after abortion and contracted gynecological diseases.
In 1927, Wallis divorced, Lightspeed married his second husband, wealthy businessman Ernest Simpson, and then moved his family to the UK. Because her husband had to worry about business and was not at home for several days, Hualisi still remained unchanged in nature. She spent every day outside and found several lovers.
At a dinner in 1930, Warris finally met her "ultimate goal", Edward, who was still the crown prince at that time.
The two met this time, and the dinner was actually organized by Furness, one of Edward's lovers, who was a good friend of Furness, so she invited her to come together, and the wolf entered the room.
During the dinner, Edward and Wallis had a hot chat and soon put Ferness behind him. When Ferness found out, he became furious. In order to take revenge on Edward, he also said that he was not capable of some aspects. Walis did not show weakness, and came out to say sarcastically that Edward was not good enough to be with you, and it was normal when he was with me.
In short, under the sweet words of Walis, Edward fell deeper and deeper, and vowed not to marry her. But don't forget that at this time Warris was still a married woman, so where is her husband Ernest at this time?
In fact, Ernest's career was not going well at that time, and Edward had to overcome the difficulties, so he had to take the initiative to wear this green hat and was willing to divorce Warris.
After everything was ready, Edward was about to marry Wallis into the house. Wallis was also very excited and felt that he would be the Queen of England in the future, but is this really the case?
[When I wake up from my dream]
In 1936, the old king George V passed away, and Edward succeeded to the throne, known in history as Edward VIII. As soon as he took office, he applied to Congress to marry Wallis.
As a result, Congress refused without thinking. There are two main reasons. First, Wallis is an illegitimate daughter and has been married twice. In the eyes of the conservative British Parliament, he is not a serious person. But at this time Edward was already confused and had a very firm attitude, not marrying Walice.
But the British royal family no longer has much power at this time. If you look down on you, you call you the king. When you look down on you, you are a mascot, so Congress did not intend to give in and gave Edward three options:
1. Give up marrying Hualisi. Wife
2. Marrying Hualisi despite opposition
3. Taking the initiative to abdicate
0. It is impossible for Edward to give up marrying Hualisi, but marrying hard will undoubtedly cause social turmoil. He is somewhat responsible, so this road has also been Blocked. In the end, it seems that the only option of actively abdicating is left.
So on December 10, 1936, Edward VIII, who did not love the country and the beauty, voluntarily signed the abdication edict, becoming the first king in British history to voluntarily abdicate. He reigned for only 326 days and did not even have time to do it. Coronation ceremony.
1937 On June 3, 1937, Edward finally held a wedding with Warris as he wished, but there were few guests present, and the wedding scene was very desolate.
And his married life was not going well. Although he could receive subsidies from royal members every month, it was impossible to spend money like before. As a result, under the instigation of Warris, Edward took a wrong path.
According to the incident, Wallis was actually a Nazi spy. German ambassador to the United Kingdom Bintroop was her guest of the curtain. Later, relying on Edward's identity, he sent a lot of information to the fascists.
After getting married, Warris simply took Edward to Germany directly. A certain art student who failed the exam was also very enthusiastic and promised that as long as you help me with information, I will let you ascend the throne again after the matter is completed.
However, this incident was exposed not long after, Edward was kicked out of Europe and was asked to never return to the UK. After seeing Edward losing his value, Wallis gradually alienated him. In his later years, Edward was seriously ill in bed, so Wallis never even looked at him.
On May 28, 1972, Edward died of throat cancer in France at the age of 78.
Looking at Edward's life, some people say that he is a seed of infatuation, for the sake of no one can give up. Some people also say that he is cowardly and voluntarily abdicated in order to evade responsibility, and was firmly controlled by Walisi.
So in your opinion, what kind of person is Edward?
