[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7370488, member: 101855"]Edward VIII was Queen Elizabeth II's uncle. He had to abdicate in less than a year because he chose to marry Wallis Simpson who was twice divorced. Edward VIII also admired the Nazis which was not a good thing, but that came after he abdicated. George VI was Queen Elizabeth's father. Many think that he was a very good to great king who helped to lead the British through World War II. If William becomes the next king, his wife will be queen, but she will only hold that post as long as he is king. If he should leave for some reason, she would no longer be queen. The last time this happened was when George VI was king. His wife, Elizabeth Bowers-Lyon was queen until he died. After his death, she became the queen mother and was much admired.
