- Historians examine newly discovered sources relating to the Duke of Windsor, the former king who renounced the throne to marry Wallace Simpson. This revelatory Edward VIII documentary explores his life after abdication, his connections with the Nazi Party, and evidence that he encouraged Germany to bomb the UK into submission during World War Two so he could regain the throne.

I remember when I was a young teenager, way back when, saying to my grandmother how romantic their story was. Iâd seen something on TV about them that had romanticized the abdication. She told me that there was a lot more to it, rumors involving Nazis, all very dark and such that you didnât talk about it, but it definitely wasnât romantic. Iâve read and watched things since then and she wasnât kidding.
l grew up hearing the romanticised version, l saw the full documentary and it shows how far he went and how little he cared about our country
he said the best way to subjugate Britain was to bomb us into submission
he had a lot of blood on his hands, i'm glad she came along and it meant he had to abdicate
Itâs not about the nazi stuff but I recommend u watch the documentary about a cache of secret letters+diaries of Wallis Simpson. Shows u what she really thought of the king. The truth of how everything began+her husbandâs involvement in it, and on and on. Quite shocking stuff.
It makes you see the whole relationship in a completely different light. Itâs unbelievable.
@@_birdie That sounds interesting. I know she didnât really care for him, could barely tolerate him at times. There are two documentaries here on CZcams. One is The Secret Letters of Wallis Simpson which is 1:14:46 long and the other is The Secret Diaries of Edward VIIIâs Wife - Wallis Simpson. Are either of those the one you mean?
@@oneminuteofmyday itâs the secret diaries of edward viiiâs wife. Hereâs a link.

Havenât watched what ur referring to- Iâll have to check it out. But yeah itâs insane, if ur bored I highly recommend checking this doc out.
@@_birdie Thank you for the link. Iâm always up for a good history documentary, so Iâll probably watch it tonight.
Hereâs a link to the other one I mentioned. Iâve only watched a little bit of it so far, but what I have seen has been interesting.

Good job he abdicated .
This really surprised me , wow can't wait to see more about this.
It's been here for awhile.
@@terr777 2days ago it was posted , that was the day also posted.
and it didn't surprise me at all, I knew about the Prince and other British lords around 1966/67 (6th-7th grade of primary school). In countries occupied after World War II by the CCCP, these attitudes of decision makers were widely publicized. Many of my relatives remembered how much of the so-called political elites of France, England, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc. behaved. And how, after 1945, countries like Poland were betrayed and put under the occupation of bandits. It cost the lives and health of many millions of people behind the 'Iron Curtain' - especially in Poland, as well as in what is now Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine
He wasnât forced to abdicate as they say in this doc. He had a choice.
It was just as well he did abdicate.
@@Goodiesfanful Yeah, or we could've had a good government which didn't drag us into another brother war! What a _shame_ that would've been...
@@sakkra93we would have been dragged into the war eventually anyway, Hitler always had his eyes on taking the island
We all know the abdication wasnât Wallisâ fault. She was made an âOffer she couldnât refuse.â So she was vilified and stuck with him for a lifetime.
she was a Nazi sympathiser, l saw this full documentary and am horrified at how far he went
and it's in those documents, he told the germans the best way to subjugate us was to bomb us into submission
l
A lot of Germans were Nazis . Your royal family is German đ©đȘ so some of them were nazis also
And hated him from then ob
I'll say one thing he was right about the United Kingdom government being corrupt and going too far and needing to be taught a lesson but what he did was downright unacceptable
Funny thing is the ex king is probably more German than him đđ
Downey's new book is good, but it seems to me to be mostly a compilation and so much taken from "The Windsor Story" by Bryan & Murray. Grenada 1979.

Nazims, Communism and Eugenics was popular among the elites in those days - even Hollywood was fascinated by it.
Eugenics, at least, is still popular throughout the West, and abroad.

Why betrayed? Can you explain that?
The banditism is obvious
Wow.
Interesting? I wonder when else officials, monarchs and politicians of the uk, be they elected or unelected have acted against the interests of the public and common decency as well? I bet they'd love to know!
You can't have your cake and eat it too, is the most common misquote in the world. The quote is "You can't eat your cake and have it too".
One CAN have a cake and eat it. But, one can NOT eat it and still have it!
Awesome, always wondered how it made any sense. Thanks
The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs quotes a 1546 compendium by John Heywood, âWolde ye bothe eate your cake, and haue your cake?â In his Yale Book of Quotations, Fred Shapiro supplies a more typical phrasing from John Davies in 1611: âA man cannot eat his cake and haue it still. It can work either way. An early recording of the phrase is in a letter on 14 March 1538 from Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, to Thomas Cromwell, as "a man can not have his cake and eat his cake".[7] The phrase occurs with the clauses reversed in John Heywood's A dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of All the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue from 1546, as "wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake?".In John Davies's Scourge of Folly of 1611, the same order is used, as "A man cannot eat his cake and haue it stil."
@@ppal64 wow, talk about over kill!
when he went visiting the french military line to send reports to UK each report was also sent to Berlin
So what were the plans of Hitler with the UK in the final days of World War 2 and Edward VIII
The true king of the Britons true man of people nothing like his nice or his brother Edward the seventh was the only man that would have save uk from the warâŠ.
I have always wondered; where did he get the money to support his quite lavish lifestyle and purchase all those fabulous jewels for his wife for all those years?
I gather he received a great deal of money upon abdication and had assets (such as a share of the Balmoral estate). He and his wife were also world-class leeches hobnobbing with rich friends. And the story of the jewels is that at one point a lot were stolen and a huge insurance settlement was made but after the passing of the Duchess of Windsor and personal effects were auctioned, some of the jewels were present.
David even made TV commercials.
I do wonder if his family had not turned their back on him he might have turned out differently. He did, after all get his brother off of drugs so, he wasn't rotten to the core in the beginning.
@Utube Fknsucks
He was on the payroll the whole time of his exile? Sources?
@@theallseeingmaster Itâs public knowledge.. He lived off money approved by British royal family & govât for a certain amount of time in exile.. The prime minister, the King and then eventually Queen Elizabeth had to approve it every year.
I heard that his original name was David and he chose Edward to be his name as king. It would be ironic since he was with the Nazis who hated Jews and he was named after the Jewish king.
They're just lucky. What happened to collaborators in the occupied countries was not a pretty sight at all. Men were executed and women's heads were shaved. Then they were escorted out of their town.
W person frfr
#NotMyKing..that is real reason why I think about him.
Only 7k views? Something tells me Buckingham is trying to keep this on the down low lol
Funnily enough, Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi at a party. Guess it was a party in Edward's memory. đ
Not everything is a conspiracy, you know.
@@vermilliongecko you are right. But it's still weird that a headlining story from a world leading broadcasting company didn't get viewed at a time when the chatter about anti fascism and nazis was taking place and people were rioting. Especially when this same company can get millions of views on a subject like transgender transformations or people who hoard items. The reason why this was kept quiet is because protestors would have burned the palace to the ground. It's not a conspiracy it was just kept quiet dude. The worst thing about crime isn't usually the crime itself, it's the people involved and the way it is either covered up or right in front of the people's faces and no one cares because no one can touch the rich and powerful when they plan things right.
Do you live under a rock? This isnt news and out since a long time and even the show the crown went in on it. The royal family has better things to do than caring about YT videos...their nutty prince is out there talking about his D. THATS embarrassingly new.
How could they be trying to keep this a secret when itâs well known in history that Edward was a nazi.
King George V (his father) said this about him âAfter I am dead, the boy will ruin himself within 12 monthsâ and also this about his son and grand daughter who would both become a king and queen âI pray to God my eldest son will never marry and have children, and that nothing will come between Bertie and Lilibet and the throneâ
Edward was hated by his family and the government for good reasons.
Hmmmm sounds like Harry

Should have been tried for treason in britain after the war ended
Quite the traitor
A traitor for wanting Britain to avoid another war which for all anyone knew, could have led to the death a million dead Britons and another 1 or 2 million crippled.
Come on we all had our moments đ what if were to be born in those days
Never shaken hands and made deals with fascist dictators or called for my country to be bombed into submission; sorry.
@@ALIKN1-1 you call this having a moment
@@wendygraham6863 well had few moments in England in the cousins war later Deutschland and then ended in the sand âŠ.. so when fate give you another chance you should correct create new moments
Wow ! Lots of hate, jealous, and uneducated speeches here about Wallis and Edward ! Let's open your mind, this is the year of 2024 !
Compared to Charles & Camilla and Harry & Meghan in 2024, Edward & Wallis are the angels and innocents !
Now we have Harry
I think there is a significant difference between being a traitor and being just another spoiled idiot.
đ
Harry is not edward
@@artlandforabettertomorrow1176 No, he's worse.
@@charlottereid1752 Why because he with a Black women people like you is a waste of life they why 40% white and black couples get marry and this just the beginning and thatâs why 60%of white men and Asian women get marry so donât be mad at the Black women because all the Asian women are taking your man and that a fact.
Must watch for anyone thinking of voting for Trump in the US.
Alex Jones was right lol
He never be right about a thing
â@@petesmart1983
Learn English before posing with a British name
Alex Jones has never been right in his life.
there is a lot of propaganda here my family knew edward viii he was no traitor in facta real patriot who wanted the UK to stay out of the war, his peace making efforts were legendary, churchill wrote his resignation speech for him to read out
You're far too uneducated for your family to have known the Duke of Windsor.
My understanding is that many bigwigs in Britain were naive/duped by the Germans pre WWII into believing they truly wanted peace. The movie Remains of the Day shows us an example of same. Perhaps Edward VIII is one of them?
But in The Crown - Iâm not sure how accurate the series is - they convey him, ultimately, as a true traitor who would have given nazis full access to Europe in exchange for the crown back.
