The second part in our series on the Abdication crisis of 1936.

Edward VIII ascends the throne and immediately begins a subtle but determined campaign to position Wallis Simpson as his consort.

But even without the dangers posed by Wallis, Edward soon begins to ruffle feathers. Among government, fears abound around the new King's reliability, capability and political instincts.

This episode again sees Royal commentator James Taylor team up with RHG founder, Gareth Streeter to discuss the unfolding crisis. It also features a guest interview with Adrian Phillips, author of "The King who had to go".

We discuss:

  • The circumstances of Edward's ascension and his immediate decision to break protocol by watching his own proclamation with Wallis
  • Concerns about the new King's reliability and work ethic
  • The early intervention of Cosmo Lang and Edward's relationship with this seasoned Archbishop of Canterbury
  • The politics of the 1930s and the circumstances that made Edward's German sympathies more difficult to manage
  • A potential plot to assassinate the King?
  • Wallis Simpson's first steps in divorcing her husband Ernest

Unfortunately, there are a few moments in this episode where there is bit of feedback sound. RHG apologies for this but wants to reassure you that such distractions only crop up a few times and last for just a few seconds.
