There is a brief but interesting profile of Edward VIII on the BBC website...

It might be considered by some that we were well shot of him.

Re: prince charles and camilla???????
 

Well that doesn't actually say he leaked information to Hitler but that he was, as I said, rather fond of him.

And as you said A-b we were well rid of him.

Re: prince charles and camilla???????
 

I don't really care but i don't think he should give up his throne it is rightfully his even though the royal law says different, by the way who pays for this wedding? taxpayers?

Re: prince charles and camilla???????
 

my mistake then!

Re: prince charles and camilla???????
 

I was under the impression that as head of the Church of England he could not marry a divorcee and become King. That was the reason that Edward abdicated.....Wallis Simpson was divorced.

Re: prince charles and camilla???????
 

Or he would be head of the Church of England if he became King!

It is alleged that the Duchess of Windsor had Nazi connections before and during WW2. The Duke was not directly involved in "spying" but had definite leanings towards Nazism, but then so had most of the "aristocracy" of that age. The Windsors, after the war, were close friends with Sir Oswald and Lady Mosely and, largely, shared their fascist ideals.

In the case of Charles and Camilla, I am indifferent to what they do, as long as you and I don't pay for it. Do, however, bear in mind that the announcement of their forthcoming marriage came hot on the heels of the announcement of a financial investigation into the cost of maintaining Mrs Parker-Bowles. It is reported that Charles and the queen will pay for the wedding - but we will foot the bill for the enormous police security surrounding the event.

There is nothing in the (unwritten) constitution that says the monarch cannot marry a divorcée. The established church was founded on just such a premise. Edward VIII abdicated because the rest of the royal family would not accept Wallis Simpson and, following their example, neither would the Establishment. The whole Windsor abdication question is complicated, involved and fascinating and I could bore you to death with it - but I won't. ;)

>>If it wasn't for Henry VIII wanting a divorce we wouldn't have a Church of England.<<

It beats me why the adherants of a religion that is supposedly founded on tolerance, understanding, forgiveness and love are so unwilling to, or incapable of, exercising such virtues.
They bang on and on about human imperfections and frailty and how they must try to accept and understand, but when those very frailties and imperfections present them with the ideal opportunity to practise what they preach they inevitably fail the test.

As far as I am concerned whoever HRH chooses as his wife is a matter for his own conscience and should be of no concern to anyone other than himself. I certainly do not think that it should barr him from the succession. It was a mistake to marry that dreadful Spencer woman. And though I think that the manner of her death was truly apalling, in retrospect, I have to conclude that it was probably for the best. Had she lived, the damage she would have continued to cause is incalculable. It is not outside the realms of possibility to imagine that in her petulant rage she could well have brought an end to the monarchy. I, for one, would rather have The Queen, with all her faults, as head of state than "President" Blair.

Everyone seems to be obsessed with the fact that Camilla Parker-Bowles is not the most attractive woman in the world. Well, that may be so, but by the same token neither is dear Cherie. Does that make her unfit to be the Prime Minister's wife? Should Tony Blair resign immediately because his wife puts everyone in mind of a wide-mouthed frog?

For goodness sake people, we are all adults, well most of us are, we should all by now be aware that the heart chooses for reasons that often have nothing at all to do with fashion sense, style, or a photogenic profile. Can we not just celebrate the fact that the man has at last found somebody to share his life with who makes him happy and wish them both everything that they wish for themselves?
