f when I tell you tha
LJ ' imP0SSible ca
Tl burden of reSpOIIS
' I discharge my duti
T Inner last." came the ex
king's clear and measured
voice, "I am able to say a
few words. I have never
wanted to withhold anything.
. . . But you must believe me
when I tell you that I have found
:arry ine neavy
isibility and to
ies as king as I
would wish to do without the
help and support of the woman
I love."
Thus, on Dec. 11. 1936, Ed
ward VIII ceased to be king and
emperor and his brother Albert
Frederick Arthur Ceorge ascend
ed the British throne which Ed
ward had renounced for the
hand and heart of American
born Wallis Warfield. Never be
fore had an English monarch
abdicated for love.
A few hours later and Edward
had set sail for France, there to
spend the first days of his un
precedented self-imposed exile.
And there too he subsequently
joined Wallis Warfield for the
first time since the news of their
epochal romance had shaken the
British empire to its foundations.
The next spring, a few day
after the coronation which
might have been held for him,
Edward, now Duke of Windsor,
wed Wallis Warfield at Cannes.
Immediately the two retired to
the duke's Austrian honeymoon
castle. So was culminated one
of history's greatest romancet.
Meanwhile, in Great Britain,
postage stamps bearing Ed
ward's likeness continued to
circulate even while George VI
began his rule.
