In this episode, the heart of the matter is once again the big D, DIVORCE. We discuss Edward VIII’s short rule and abdication, and the three major problems that led to his decision. Was it just that he couldn’t have the crown and the queen he wanted? Or, beyond “that woman”, did his Nazi sympathies lead to a conspiracy to push him off the throne? Was he just the wrong fit for king, personality-wise? Listen to find out!
