|    Abdication Of King Edward VIII: A Very B    |
|    30 Dec 17 03:32:12    |
      The truly fascinating BBC4 documentary at              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th0o-ZyuL2k              "sheds new light on the greatest crisis to rock the British monarchy       in centuries - the abdication of King Edward VIII. Usually it has       been presented as the only possible solution to his dilemma of having       to choose between the throne and the woman he loved. Using secret       documents and contemporary diaries and letters this film shows a       popular monarch whose modern ideas so unsettled the establishment       that his love for Wallis Simpson became the perfect excuse to bounce       him off the throne."              Quite an eyeopener!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
