-------------------
Edward VIII was the eldest son of King George V and Queen Mary who served as the King of the United Kingdom for less than a year. He was the only British sovereign to abdicate voluntarily in order to marry his beloved, Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee. Soon after his birth, Edward became the heir apparent to the throne. During his father’s reign, Prince Edward travelled extensively across Britain and other parts of the world. He also served in the British armed forces. Following the death of his father, Edward became the King of England. However, his tenure as the King was marked by his disregard for royal protocol and constitutional conventions. Moreover, he caused constitutional crisis by proposing to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorcee. Despite the Church of England repudiating remarriage of divorcees, his ministers refusing support, his family objecting the unison and his subjects unaccepting Simpson as Queen of England, King Edward was adamant on marrying her. With no means to fall back on, he voluntarily resigned from his post to marry Simpson. His abdication made him the shortest-reigning monarch in British history. The couple lived the better part of their latter life in Paris as Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
------------------
Childhood & Early Life
Edward VIII was born to Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary) on June 23, 1894 at White Lodge. He was the eldest son and third in line to succession after his grandfather, Edward VII and his father George. He was baptized Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David on July 16, 1894.
Young Edward was initially homeschooled by tutor, Helen Bricka and later by Henry Hansell. Completing his preliminary studies, he entered Osborne Naval College and within two years shifted to Royal Naval College in Dartmouth.
King Edward VII’s death in 1910 stirred a chain of events, with Edward becoming Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay and later Prince of Wales in 1911. He served as a midshipman for three months aboard the battleship Hindustan before enrolling at Magdalen College, Oxford. He was at the Oxford for eight terms but left it without any academic qualifications.
-------------------
Later Years
During World War I, Edward enlisted himself at the army. Though he was willing to serve on the front lines, he was assigned to safe positions. Nevertheless, he visited the front lines often, witnessing trench warfare first-hand, which earned him a reputation amongst the war veterans.
Following the end of World War I, he returned to England. Under the reign of his father, King George V, Edward travelled extensively across Britain and other parts of the world. He even visited poverty stricken and high unemployment areas during the economic depression. It were these visits that gained him much public attention.
Edward’s extensive travels, courteous mannerism, killer looks, fearless attitude and highly fashionable appearance gained him widespread attention especially from women. He soon followed the footsteps of his grandfather and turned into a womanizer, much to his father’s disgust.
He continued with his Casanova attitude well into the 1930s as well. His residence at Fort Belvedere was the birthplace of many of his romantic relationships with married women, particularly the one with American divorcee Wallis Simpson. His intimacy with Simpson soured his relationship with father and irked the monarchy as well.
Following the death of King George V on January 20, 1936, Edward, the heir apparent, ascended the throne. His rebellious nature became apparently visible as he broke the royal protocol by watching the proclamation of his own accession. Edward’s reign created unease in the parliament.
His defiance of the conventions and decorum was visible during the minting of the currency as well. Instead of facing right, direction opposite to his predecessor as was customary of the reigning monarchs, he faced on the same side as his father, i.e. left to show the parting of his hair.
King Edward’s romantic interest in Simpson did not dwindle after his accession. In fact, the two became increasingly inseparable, much to the discontent of his family, parliamentarians and his subjects.

[Queen Victoria’s Son & Daughter-in-law] King Edward VII & Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom
Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester | Transformation From 1 To 61 Years Old
Prince Henry was the first son of a British monarch to be educated at school, where he excelled at sports, and went on to attend Eton College, after which he was commissioned in the 10th Royal Hussars, a regiment he hoped to command. But his military career was interrupted by royal duties, and he was nicknamed the unknown soldier. While big-game shooting in Kenya, he met the future aviator Beryl Markham, with whom he became romantically involved. The court put pressure on him to end the relationship, but had to pay regular hush-money to avert a public scandal. In 1935, also under parental pressure, he married Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott, with whom he had two sons, Princes William and Richard.
In 1939–40, he served in France as a liaison officer, and was later appointed Governor-General of Australia in place of his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, who had died in an air crash. He attended the coronation of his niece Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and carried out several overseas tours, often accompanied by his wife. From 1965, he became incapacitated by a number of strokes, and was not officially[clarification needed] told of the death of his elder son while piloting his own plane in 1972. His widow became the longest-lived member of the British royal family in history. Upon his death, he was succeeded as the Duke of Gloucester by his only living son, Richard.
---------------------
Prince Henry was born on 31 March 1900, at York Cottage, on the Sandringham Estate during the reign of his great-grandmother Queen Victoria.[1] His father was the Duke of York (later King George V), the eldest surviving son of the Prince and Princess of Wales, (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra).[1] His mother was the Duchess of York (later Queen Mary), the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Teck.[1] At the time of his birth, he was fifth in the line of succession to the throne, behind his grandfather, father and two elder brothers.
He was baptised at the private chapel of Windsor Castle on 17 May 1900, by Randall Thomas Davidson, Bishop of Winchester, and his godparents were: Queen Victoria (his great-grandmother); the German Emperor (his cousin, for whom Prince Albert of Prussia stood proxy); Princess Henry of Battenberg (his paternal great-aunt); the Duchess of Cumberland (his paternal great-aunt, whose sister, his grandmother the Princess of Wales represented her); Prince George of Greece (his cousin, for whom Prince Henry's paternal grandfather the Prince of Wales stood proxy); Princess Carl of Denmark (his paternal aunt, for whom her sister Princess Victoria of Wales stood proxy); Prince Alexander of Teck (his maternal uncle, for whom Prince Henry's great-uncle the Duke of Cambridge stood proxy); and Field Marshal The Earl Roberts (for whom General Sir Dighton Probyn stood proxy).[2] He was informally known to his family as Harry.
------------------
As a young boy, Prince Henry suffered from ill health very much like his older brother Albert. He also had knocked knees, and had to wear painful leg splints. He was an extremely nervous child, and was often victim to spontaneous fits of crying or giggling, and also like his brother, Henry had a combination of speech disorders.[4] They both had rhotacism, which prevented them from pronouncing the sound r, but while Albert's pronunciation was slightly reminiscent of the French r, Henry was completely unable to pronounce it, causing the intended r to sound like [w]. On top of this, Henry also had a nasal lisp and an unusually high-pitched tone, resulting in a very distinctive voice.[5]
By 1909, Henry's poor health had become a serious concern for his parents. He was very small for his age and was prone to get very aggressive colds. You must remember that he is rather fragile and must be treated differently to his two elder brothers who are more robust, wrote Prince George to Henry's tutor, Henry Peter Hansell.

10 Alternative Successions to the British Royal Throne
Join the community! Become a patron today!
*Update/disclaimer: I realize Anne Neville did not marry Edward the Black Prince. This was a mistake on my part during the making of this video. Thank you to those who pointed this out.
On 9 September, 2015, Queen Elizabeth II surpassed Victoria as the longest reigning British monarch. In 2017, she celebrated her Sapphire Jubilee, having worn the crown for 65 years. Her reign came as a result of hundreds of years of political action, through multiple usurpations, civil wars and revolutions.
What if some of these decisions and events had not happened? Would Dear Old Liz still be chillaxin’ at Buckingham Palace? Or would a very different person be sitting on the throne?
These are 10 alternative successions to the British throne.
10. The Cromwells
One option is Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. HRH the Duchess of Kent is currently married to the Duke of Kent, Prince Edward--first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II. Had things have been different, she might’ve been Lady Protector instead.
9. Absolute Primogeniture (from Queen Victoria)
In 2015, the governments of all 16 commonwealth realms enacted absolute primogeniture, that is, succession of the eldest child regardless of gender. It does not affect the current line as it is not retroactive.
Though, were it to have been applied retroactively back to, say, Queen Victoria, rather than pass to her second-born son Edward VII, succession would apply to her firstborn, her daughter Victoria. From Victoria, the line of succession would pass through the Prussian royal family, dear old Kaiser Bill, on down to a woman named Frederike von der Osten, the oldest child of Princess Felicitas who died 2009.
8. Margaret’s “half a crown”
As outlined in works by Jane Austen, there is an old act in British inheritance law known as entailment. Upon a lack of a male heir, all property is to be divided equally among one’s daughters. If parliament wanted to nitpick, they could have hypothetically enacted this antiquated custom and divided the throne between Elizabeth and her sister Margaret, akin to William the III and Mary II’s joint rule, the Frankish customs of the Carolingians, or modern-day Andorra.
7. The Tudor heir (Mary Tudor)
Henry VIII specified in his will were his line to end (which it did), his throne was to pass to the descendants of his sister Mary. Had Henry’s will carried properly, the throne would have instead gone to Edward Seymour, the nephew of Lady Jane Grey from her sister Catherine. From Edward, the throne would pass to current day lords and ladies of Kinloss.
6. Abdication of Richard II
On 29 September, 1399, Henry Bolingbroke was crowned Henry IV of England following the abdication of Richard II. Except Henry wasn’t next-in-line. That honor belonged to Edmund Mortimer, the descendant of Edward III’s second surviving son, Lionel of Antwerp, the Duke of Clarence. Henry was the descendant of Edward’s third son, John of Gaunt.
As Edmund’s descendants married into the House of York, this alternative line would be short-lived, as the two lines would converge under Edward IV.
5. John of Gaunt
John of Gaunt married his mistress, Katherine Swynford, in 1396 and his children with her were declared legitimised by King Richard II as well as the church. Were the descendants of Bolingbroke’s younger half-siblings to have been given preference to Tudor, the crown would be in the possession of the Somerset family, Dukes of Beaufort.
4. Matilda Jones
Seven-year-old Matilda Jones of Doncaster discovered what resembled an ancient sword while having a casual swim in Cornwall’s Dozmary Pool. Immediately news outlets were reporting the story’s remarkable similarity with the legend of King Arthur, who received Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake in a similar fashion--some even say in the same body of water--and went on to rule Britain, defeat the Saxons, et cetera, et cetera.
Despite the sword having been claimed by one Mark Wilkins, who put it there less than 30 years ago, adorable Matilda Jones is still the rightful queen in the hearts of millions around the world.
3. Anglo-Saxon claims
The most likely answer is… we’ve already got her.
2. Jacobite Succession
Modern Jacobites consider the current Windsor family, who descend from Sophia, and her mother Elizabeth Stuart the daughter of James I and VI, as merely a cadet branch of the Stuart family, and that the true heir should descend from Henrietta Stuart, the daughter of Charles I and first cousin to Sophia of Hanover.
Were Henrietta’s descendants to claim providence, her current heir would be one Franz Wittelsbach, the reigning Duke of Bavaria. His heir presumptive third-in-line is his great-nephew Prince Wenzel of Liechtenstein, who is all also second in line to the Liechtenstein throne.
1. George Plantagenet
It is said Richard was away on campaign at Pontoise for the month Edward was supposedly conceived.
