"Why is he so weak?" Part 8 of our series on the Abdication crisis

The reign of King Edward VIII is over.  Now, the newly created Duke of Windsor begins his exile.  And painfully for him, he must wait several long months before he can make Wallis his Duchess.  This episode briefly explores the aftermath of the Abdication crisis.

 

During this episode, RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor explore:

 

  • The immediate 'logistics' around the Duke's relocation
  • A glimpse of happiness at the end of the worst year of Queen Mary's life
  • The controversy around the Windsor's wedding, the date and the lack of Royal attendance
  • The (questionably legal) decision to deny Wallis the HRH style
  • The Duke and Duchess's Nazi links and role in the war
  • The "snub" to the Windsor's at Princess Elizabeth's wedding
  • The ultimate death of the Duke and later the Duchess
