He died in France after smoking and fricking to death.
Can’t do that as King of the Britons.

Edward VIII was not very bright, even by English King standards and years of inbreeding. He was easily manipulated and Wallis took advantage of that tendency.
It's said that he never read/finished a book in his life. His only interests were golf and gardening. Wallis was pals with Ribbentrop and was a anti-semite. Soon, Edward was too.
As king, he was de facto head of the church of England. I think the problem of marrying a (twice) divorced woman was that both ex-husbands were still alive. Not sure what the difference in living or dead ex-husbands is to the English? But it's a big difference. Edward threatened suicide if he couldn't marry he. Meanwhile, Wallis kept manipulating him and he liked it.
He abdicated after less than a year as King. He was fricked because of turning his back on his duty. Wallis was fricked because not only would she never be Edward's queen, the Royal family refused to even recognize. Queen Mary, Edward's mother, wouldn't even say her name, only referring to her as that woman.
Exiled from England, they moved to France. When the Germans invaded France in 1940, there was much intrigue concerning the Duke of Windsor (his title after abdicating). The Royals didn't want him in England. Churchill didn't want him in America to possibly strengthen their isolationist views. They absolutely didn't want him in German hands, sueing for a separate peace and a possible attempt at being restored to the throne. (Because he realized by now he had fricked up.) So the British government sent him to the Bahamas to be Governor, along with a company of soldiers to minimize the perceived German kidnapping threat.
TL,DR - Edward VII/Duke of Windsor was a dumb mother fricker. Wallis Simpson was a manipulative whore.

That king was totally infatuated with her while she was in her second marriage. So she had to get divorced. The place ended up being Warrenton Virginia. She moved there, lead a very quiet life for the requisite number of months and got the divorce.
My childhood was spent in the next county and everybody knew everybody's business and gossip ran freely from county to county. No one ever mentioned her time in the next county. The woman really knew how to lead a quiet unremarkable life.
Later on there was international talk that he bored her, as in was tiresome and had not much to say. Also there was talk that one male friend of theirs was her last true love, never realized. When she started carrying on with the known gay guy she wasn't physically cheating on the ex-king, but she had grown tired of him.
I have to wonder was he too stupid to realize how badly he'd screwed up his life? He died alone with only servants around.

And a Nazi. Not a “I don’t like what you do so you’re a Nazi” type but an actual shitass Nazi.
The crown should’ve given her the Diana treatment.

Haven't read the thread. Though many believe that the King abdicated duec to a deal he had with Germany. Not Wallace. In fact as King he could have made the marriage happen eventually had he waited.
He stays in France with a top Fascist, travels around on a train owned by Mussolini. Roosevelt refuses them an audience in the US due to fascist ties so they go meet with Hitler instead. Having multiple German language meetings with him.
A lot of people think Hitler would have made him a puppet King.
Also Wallce is quite comely to give up a kingdom for.
He had to later beg his niece for an allowance. After his death Wallace was cut off from the Windsors.

I will never understand the big deal the UK makes out of divorce. Their ENTIRE church was created because the king wanted a divorce. Had the pope granted Henry a divorce we may have never had the church of England
Yet divorce was so taboo until petty much every royal got one in the last 25 years.

Well since he abdicated in 1936, 3 ears before WWII started, I think this is not true. He and Simpson were both fascists and big fans of Hitler. There were rumors that Simpson had slept with high ranking Nazis.

The things a man will do for pussy. She better have had a legendary one because she wasn’t all that good looking.

I don't know how many Nazis she was rumored to have slept with, but the Nazi Foreign Minister, von Ribbentrop, was one of them. And she allegedly had an ongoing sequel and social relationship with him before the was and contact with him the war started.
She was a plotter, schemer, and social climber.
ETA: King Edward VIII abdicated in Dec of 37, but your point still holds.
Dec 36! You are correct.

According to the Church of England at that time, marrying someone who was divorced but whose ex-spouse was still alive, was bigamy. If the ex-spouse was dead, it was no different (in the church's eyes) than if a spouse died and the widow(er) remarried. As said above, not sure why the CoE had such a skewed view considering the reason why the CoE was formed in the first place.
In 1955(?) Elizabeth, as queen, would not let Princess Margaret marry Peter Townsend because his ex-wife was still alive.
