Edward VIII
Edward VIII was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire for less than a year in 1936 before abdicating the throne to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. His reign was marked by controversy due to his desire to marry Simpson, which was opposed by the Church of England and the British government. The abdication crisis led to significant constitutional changes and reshaped the monarchy's relationship with the public.
