  • Résumé

  • After six weeks of build up, it is finally time to explore the actual Abdication of Edward VIII - the only truly voluntary surrendering of the throne in history.

    It this episode, RHG founder Gareth Streeter and Royal commentator, James Taylor explore:

    • The "last supper" where the Prime Minister tries to convince the King to stay but is denied a bed for the night
    • The Duke of York and his last-minute preparations for the crown
    • The Cabinet's rush to prepare the legislation for Abdication
    • Baldwin's surprisingly spectacular Commons performance and the beginnings of the romantic myth of the crisis
    • Queen Mary's subtle sign of support for the government
    • The arrangements for Edward's future including title and income
    • Edward's master piece of a broadcast to the nation

    Although Edward has now left the throne, this is not the end of the series. Next week we shall explore the aftermath.
