If King Charles dies on or before March 25th, 2024, he will technically be the shortest-reigning king in English history.
Anyway, like to charge, reblog to cast.

“Has there been a more despicable royal in modern history than king Edward VIII? He thought his youngest sick brother prince John was an animal and mocked his death. He was a white supremacist who dehumanized other races. He had nazi beliefs, liked Hitler and wanted to use nazi influence to get the throne back. He caused too much stress to his father and his brother, hastening their demise. He wrecked other people's marriages by having affairs with married women. There was nothing redemptive about him” - Submitted by Anonymous

King Edward VIII was still alive at the coronations of his son and grandson (Edward IX and X). In to avoid confusion, people would refer to them as “Ed,” “Edd,” and “Eddy.”

The Dukes of Edinburgh, Gloucester, Windsor and Kent march during the funeral procession of King George VI // 15 FEBRUARY 1952
‘It was a long walk to Paddington, past the Cenotaph, along the Mall, where Queen Mary watched the procession pass from her balcony at Marlborough House, past what was left of 145 Piccadilly, the King’s home before his accession, and up Park Lane to Paddington. The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Windsor wore naval uniform, the Duke of Gloucester a military greatcoat, and I wore an overcoat and top hat. I was only sixteen.’
- THE DUKE OF KENT (A Royal Life, 2022)
ABOVE: The Duke of Kent shares his recollections of the funeral in the 2016 documentary ‘Elizabeth at 90 - A Family Tribute’
The newsreel he watches in the clip - ‘The Last Journey’ - can be viewed HERE

“I would have never known about Sydney Johnson if it weren't for the Crown, which is why "Mou Mou" is my fave episode from season 5. It was interesting to hear about Sydney's past, how he rose to the position of valet for King Edward, and how he eventually came to work for Mohammad Al Fayed. The episode nearly brought me to tears when Sydney died, but also relieved that Mohammad paid him his respects. The humanity of King Edward towards Sydney is beautiful, and so was their friendship. His story definitely needs to be told.” - Submitted by Anonymous
