  1. Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry the woman he loved,the twice divorced Wallis Warfield Simpson.Edward abdicated and his brother,George VI,father of the current queen,assumed the job.This happened December 10,1936. Edward became the Duke of Windsor,but Wallis was denied the designation of HRH before her title.


  2. Edward

  3. Yes, Edward, the present Queen's uncle, gave up his throne for Wallis Simpson.

  4. Edward VII gave up the throne for American divorcee Wallis Warfield Simpson.

    Ooops. Make that Edward the VIII

  5. Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, The Duke of Windsor (23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was the only British sovereign to abdicate voluntarily, Edward stepped down in 1936 to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. He was king for less than a year. Only months into his reign, Edward forced a constitutional crisis by proposing marriage to the American divorcée Wallis Simpson.

    Although legally Edward could have married Mrs. Simpson and remained king, his various prime ministers opposed the marriage, arguing that the people would never accept her as queen. Edward knew that the ministry of British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin would resign if the marriage went ahead; this could have dragged the King into a general election thus ruining irreparably his status as a politically neutral constitutional monarch.

    Rather than give up Mrs. Simpson, Edward chose to abdicate, making him the only monarch of Britain, and indeed any Commonwealth Realm, to have voluntarily relinquished the throne. He is one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in British history, and was never crowned.

  6. Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor.  Full name: Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, was known to his family by his last name of David.

    Gave up the throne in 1936 so he could marry the twice divorced Wallis Simpson.

  7. Edward VIII
