Eduard VIII
Eduard VIII, who briefly reigned as king of the United Kingdom in 1936, is most famously known for his abdication in order to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson, a divorced woman. This unprecedented decision created a constitutional crisis and led to his abdication after just 11 months on the throne. Eduard became the Duke of Windsor after his abdication, and his relationship with Simpson was met with significant public and political scrutiny, impacting the monarchy's reputation. His life and choices continue to be a topic of fascination, often explored in literature, film, and photography, including notable portraits by Richard Avedon.
Born on Jun 23, 1894 (131 years old)
