He should have been shot.

[historynerd18]

He even had that "Nazi look"

@Rasmere Well said. I have great respect for the queen, she has devoted her entire life to being the head of state. But the rest of the parasites and hangers on are absolutely redundant, and the deification of the royal family, as if they really are superhuman, is utterly pathetic and servile.

It takes one bad monarch for people to start talking about republicanism; the monarchy was lucky to have Elizabeth II, but I await Charles III to see how it pans out

[Rasmere]

Its funny on how so many people forget things. In 1997, you guys wanted to kick Elizabeth II out, because of the death of Diana and the events after. So remember that when you guys glorify Elizabeth :).

what a bum. the United Kingdom was so fortunate to get Bertie and Elizabeth. What heroes! The present Queen is also awesome. Her life is is guided by her coronation oath.............. After her, the deluge. The young royals take after David, they want their cake and eat it too.

@DantesDump I'd say he should have been hanged, like a common criminal. He wouldn't have deserved the honor of a firing squad.

@Ayuthya not really actually the British economy is the 7th largest

[Ayuthya]

What do the brits have today? The worlds fourth largest economy.

In 1936- English Gov. appeased Hitler & self-disarmed. Churchill said Hitler would attack, so was called a War Monger. A hopeless situation for a disarmed England! Did E. abdicate & fake a roll to position himself to mitigate harsh subjugation of England in future? In 1940, did his words & dangerous wandering from Paris to Provence to Portugal, offer himself as “bait”, hoping to delay Hitler’s invasion past summer & radar setup?- Hitler did delay. --Did Edward's desperate acts save Britain?

What do the British have today for their love affair with the USA ?

[KurtSteiner]

This is getting better and better. So, Edward was seen as a danger to national security and, still, he was given secret information that he could pass to Nazi Germany? Who was the fool that did that? And we are told that Edward was angered by the low position he had been given in the military. Then, how the hell could he get access to those secrets, being so lowly placed?

[KurtSteiner]

Amazing. An US spy stupid enough to leak a secret. And to the duke of Windsor. And to whom else? And who else could had overhead that conversation? What a fool!
