edward viii

I am thinking about making alternate history where Tsar Nicholas II's children are granted asylum in Britain which was influenced by Olga marrying Prince Edward of Wales prior to WWI (specifically between November 1913 to April 1914). Would her being married to him, make Geroge V more pressed on...

What if Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson had children? The only roadblock in this scenario is that upon getting married on June 3rd 1937 Edward was 42 while Wallis was 40. Not exactly the best age to be considering pregnancy. To maximise gains we will assume that the couple have twins (boy and...

Edward VIII was married to Wallis Simpson for 35 years but they had no children. In a tl where Britain loses WWII and George VI and other anti-German royals either escape or are executed, who will succeed a restored puppet Edward when he dies in 1972? Depending on succession laws, I believe the...

If Nicholas II stayed in power until after WW I ? Pls assume it Could his daughters Marry Edward VIII or Geroge VI and become British Queen ? Will George V and British royals ignore haemophilia and bad PR in UK of autocrat Nicholas? Even if children born Can this marriage stop Wallis Simpson...

Let's say he is permitted to marry her as her ex-husbands are both dead. The reason he couldn't OTL is because both were still alive, so I'm assuming a twice-over widow is fine. She becomes his queen, and he stays king. What changes?

I just finished reading a biography of King Edward VIII, and it made me wonder what if Edward insisted on marrying Wallis Simpson and refused to abdicate in 1936. A popular theory is that Parliament would have shut down, due to mass resignations, and the Empire would have split into its...

Basically, what if George V (somehow, I know he wasn't the healthiest of men) lived a decade longer until 1946?

So, I'm currently in the research stage of a TL project I'm working on for the interwar period, with multiple PODs scattered around the place, and one of them hinges on one person in particular - Edward VIII. Now, most of us are familiar with his saga with Wallis Simpson and how his intent on...

Not discussing how alternate successions to the crown could have gone; rather, what other names the monarchs that did reign could have taken. A King of Queen can take either their first name, or a middle name. The current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, uses her first name (Elizabeth Alexandra...

Was Hess truly a crazy person, or at least duped into taking his flight by Allied intelligence? Or was he part of a secret plan that genuinely did involve members of the British government, who simply dropped the ball? Perhaps their really was a group waiting for him in the Dungavel house, but...

I am currently reading a biography of Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia, and the author makes a passing comment that, in summer 1914, there was talk of their eldest daughter Olga marrying the future Edward VIII. It was nothing serious, but what if it had actually happened? What would...

Edward VIII is the king of "What it could be", because he quit in less than a year. He resigned to marry a american divorcee, Wallis Simpson, and never had children, thus allowing George VI to be coronated and his daughter Elizabeth was crowned, and she still is the Queen of the United Kingdom...

In 1936, King Edward VIII abdicated after less than a year as King of the British Empire, so that he could marry American double divorcee, Wallis Simpson. His brother, Prince Albert would be crowned King George VI and would go on to admirably lead the United Kingdom during the Second World War...

Just something I thought of. It looks like the Canadian throne has been separate from the British throne since 1931, and the Canadian government was fairly independent of the British government at that time (although Canada didn't gain complete independence until 1982). So, what if, when Edward...

What if King Edward VIII, during his visit to Germany in 1937 after abdicating the throne to his brother George, not only was extended (and accepted) a full fledged membership in the Nazi Party, but also joined the government? What position could he have plausibly held?(Deputy Ambassador to the...
