Summary

Description

Daily Herald Archive at the National Media Museum

King Edward VIII (1894-1972) reigned from 20 January to 11 December 1936. Just a few months into his sovereignty he caused controversy by proposing to American socialite Wallis Simpson (1896-1986), who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second. The Prime Minister opposed the marriage and, had he remained King, it would have compromised Edward’s position as head of the Church of England. Edward abdicated the throne and was never crowned.
