The British monarchy presents a paradox. It is one of the most stable institutions in history. Yet it has rarely been free from crisis. Royal Revolutions explores crucial moments of trial, tension and change in British Royal history. The first season is devoted to Britain's most recent Royal Revolution - the Abdication crisis of 1936.© 2025 Royal History Geeks 世界 社会科学

  • "Why is he so weak?" Part 8 of our series on the Abdication crisis
    2025/02/04

    The reign of King Edward VIII is over. Now, the newly created Duke of Windsor begins his exile. And painfully for him, he must wait several long months before he can make Wallis his Duchess. This episode briefly explores the aftermath of the Abdication crisis.

    During this episode, RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator James Taylor explore:

    • The immediate 'logistics' around the Duke's relocation
    • A glimpse of happiness at the end of the worst year of Queen Mary's life
    • The controversy around the Windsor's wedding, the date and the lack of Royal attendance
    • The (questionably legal) decision to deny Wallis the HRH style
    • The Duke and Duchess's Nazi links and role in the war
    • The "snub" to the Windsor's at Princess Elizabeth's wedding
    • The ultimate death of the Duke and later the Duchess

    • The "last supper" where the Prime Minister tries to convince the King to stay but is denied a bed for the night
    • The Duke of York and his last-minute preparations for the crown
    • The Cabinet's rush to prepare the legislation for Abdication
    • Baldwin's surprisingly spectacular Commons performance and the beginnings of the romantic myth of the crisis
    • Queen Mary's subtle sign of support for the government
    • The arrangements for Edward's future including title and income
    • Edward's master piece of a broadcast to the nation
