Makes me laugh how the general public still think the only reason Edward abdicated was because of his love for Simpson.

People need to be aware of what a niave, sinister and dangerous person Edward was. And how right is was that he was removed as King.

there are some people not fit to be monarch. Edward was one Charles will be another.

The whole point of hereditary monarchs is not needing to be worthy of the position; you have it because you were born to it, and a nation that puts its trust in that would want to have *a lot* of safeguards and precedents that were effectively a legal binding limitation. The whole point of precedence is that it is not binding.

It would be very easy to have an appointed "monarch" who served for, say,, 10 years at a time, and leave behind all this hereditary nonsense.

@mrlopez2681 I have always hoped that the monarchy would skip to William, but have a little bit of a sense of Charles' character, he will not vacate the throne unless forced to. Once the Queen is dead and he accedes to the throne, he can go back on whatever he may or may not have agreed to.

Dear Neutronzapper, Ain't that the truth.....what an embarrassment he was before and after the abdication. What do you do with such a loser in all areas, workshy, libidinous, a fascist sympathizer who was unlikely to father any children even if they were acceptable as future heirs.

Th UK had a very lucky escape since regicide hadn't been an option since Charles the First....

Could someone tell me if that is Oswald Mosley riding alongside King Edward at 4:35 and again sitting to his right at the table at 4:52?

[mrlopez2681]

@Redfox161616 - agreed. I have always suspected that Charles was allowed to marry Camilla as part of some "back room" deal: he could have his woman in exchange for abdicating for William upon the Queen's death. Just about everyone failed to notice that when Kate & William announced their engagement & appeared before the press at St. James's Palace, a large portrait of King William IV had been placed on the mantle behind where Kate & William stood.

Wallis was actually a secret member of an early world-wide anti-Hitler resistance movement, trained in the sexual and mesmeric arts to enchant David and lure him away from the throne, thus saving the world from the threat of Nazi dominance. And I am Mamie Eisenhower.

lastly the church of england wont recognise him as king

[MrMaffew87]

@Redfox161616 plus camilla and charles had a long term affair whilst charles was married to diana

[MrMaffew87]

@Redfox161616 becauase charles and camilla are devorced people which is against english tradition when being in line to throne. it's going go to prince william (depending whether he has a stable marriage with catherine that is)

[Redfox161616]

@MrMaffew87 Why do you think that?
