    Default King Edward V111

    There appears to be whisperings of a 'tell all' documentary on Edward V111........His abdication and his leanings!
    It seems that his 'abdication' may have been for reasons other than stated...

    Perhaps those who have knowledge of the story/history could enlighten us......personal views accepted.

    I saw a documentary on this a few months back. It was called Britain's Nazi King, and was very interesting. Here's a link to it, and some video footage.

    Thank you Scorrie.....
    I have been away a long time, and every so often these past few years would hear of said suspicions......
    I suppose that we should just be acceptable of such events.......

    Mind you I hate being behind in the news....and this is behind! That news release was 8 years ago!.....s

    Mr. G.... Thank you, but no .......am nae that auld yet! And believe it or not, I am feeling like a 'young buck'.
    My Mother thought the Royalty were the 'be all and end all', and then we find out about this 'Love Story'.
    Mind you, as we both know there are some things perhaps better hidden/ if not WE would be in a lot of trouble....Right!!
    And the Met was incredible!

    FYI...Saw the Documentary/ what a 'spin' the UK Gov't put on that whole mess. It appears perhaps there is more to come.
    Definitely a story that all should know.....
