Hi Ann,

Edward the V111 was Prince of Wales before he was crowned King, after his abdication they made him Duke of Windsor...Heaven knows why!!!!!!.

This is sure to get "SPAMMED".....here's hoping it isn't.

Ann, Can you not get in touch with Jim Collins son and find out what is causing all this spamming. I have only experienced it once on my side yet I have posted some reasonably long postings so for me it really has not been a problem. Mauri

Edward V111 was never crowned.

Terry, you're quite correct.

King George V died on 20 January 1936, and Edward ascended the throne as King Edward VIII. The next day, he broke royal protocol by watching the proclamation of his own accession from a window of St James's Palace in the company of the then still-married Simpson.[42] He became the first monarch of the British Empire to fly in an aircraft when he flew from Sandringham to London for his Accession Council.[11]

Edward VIII (Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David; 23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire, and Emperor of India, from 20 January 1936 until his abdication on 11 December the same year.


It´s correct he never was crowned but he was proclaimed King and reigned for a short while
