Hitler's Favorite British Royal
Discover the shocking story of Edward VIII, the British king who abdicated the throne for love and became entangled in one of the darkest controversies of the 20th century. This video dives into two burning questions:
1. Why did Edward VIII abdicate the throne after less than a year?
2. Was he truly a Nazi sympathizer?
Explore his scandalous relationship with Wallis Simpson, the twice-divorced American socialite, and the political crisis it caused. Then, uncover Edward’s controversial visit to Adolf Hitler in 1937, his alleged Nazi sympathies, and accusations of leaking Allied war plans during WWII. Did Edward's choices reflect love, poor judgment, or something more sinister?
