<p>[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7371964, member: 115909"]Yes Edward was Queen Elizabeth's brother. His reign was very short. The reason he abdicated is not because Wallis Simpson was an American. It was because she was TWICE divorced especially with still living ex-spouses as Simpson had. If her husbands had died it would've been more acceptable. As King of England Edward would also be the leader of the Church of England which at that time heavily frowned upon a man marrying a woman who had divorced. He would just be a giant hypocrite if he was the leader of the Church of England and the Church was telling people not to marry divorcees with still living ex-spouses and yet he went out and did exactly that. It wouldn't work.</p><p><br /></p><p> When Edward insisted he was going to marry her his government threatened to resign. He chose to abdicate instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah and Edward was also very sympathetic to the Nazis and actually met with Hitler and supported some Nazi views.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
