The Former British King and the Nazis | Edward VIII: Britain's Traitor King | BBC Select 

l grew up hearing the romanticised version, l saw the full documentary and it shows how far he went and how little he cared about our country he said the best way to subjugate Britain was to bomb us into submission he had a lot of blood on his hands, i'm glad she came along and it meant he had to abdicate

It’s not about the nazi stuff but I recommend u watch the documentary about a cache of secret letters+diaries of Wallis Simpson. Shows u what she really thought of the king. The truth of how everything began+her husband’s involvement in it, and on and on. Quite shocking stuff. It makes you see the whole relationship in a completely different light. It’s unbelievable.

@@_birdie That sounds interesting. I know she didn’t really care for him, could barely tolerate him at times. There are two documentaries here on RU-vid. One is The Secret Letters of Wallis Simpson which is 1:14:46 long and the other is The Secret Diaries of Edward VIII’s Wife - Wallis Simpson. Are either of those the one you mean?

@@oneminuteofmyday it’s the secret diaries of edward viii’s wife. Here’s a link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nFFnJYgrX3s.html Haven’t watched what ur referring to- I’ll have to check it out. But yeah it’s insane, if ur bored I highly recommend checking this doc out.

@@_birdie Thank you for the link. I’m always up for a good history documentary, so I’ll probably watch it tonight. Here’s a link to the other one I mentioned. I’ve only watched a little bit of it so far, but what I have seen has been interesting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-REyAcxtpvu0.html

It's been here for awhile.

@@terr777 2days ago it was posted , that was the day also posted.

and it didn't surprise me at all, I knew about the Prince and other British lords around 1966/67 (6th-7th grade of primary school). In countries occupied after World War II by the CCCP, these attitudes of decision makers were widely publicized. Many of my relatives remembered how much of the so-called political elites of France, England, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc. behaved. And how, after 1945, countries like Poland were betrayed and put under the occupation of bandits. It cost the lives and health of many millions of people behind the 'Iron Curtain' - especially in Poland, as well as in what is now Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine

she was a Nazi sympathiser, l saw this full documentary and am horrified at how far he went and it's in those documents, he told the germans the best way to subjugate us was to bomb us into submission l

A lot of Germans were Nazis . Your royal family is German 🇩🇪 so some of them were nazis also

And hated him from then ob

It was just as well he did abdicate.

@@Goodiesfanful Yeah, or we could've had a good government which didn't drag us into another brother war! What a _shame_ that would've been...

@@sakkra93we would have been dragged into the war eventually anyway, Hitler always had his eyes on taking the island

Why betrayed? Can you explain that? The banditism is obvious

Eugenics, at least, is still popular throughout the West, and abroad.

I gather he received a great deal of money upon abdication and had assets (such as a share of the Balmoral estate). He and his wife were also world-class leeches hobnobbing with rich friends. And the story of the jewels is that at one point a lot were stolen and a huge insurance settlement was made but after the passing of the Duchess of Windsor and personal effects were auctioned, some of the jewels were present.

David even made TV commercials.

I do wonder if his family had not turned their back on him he might have turned out differently. He did, after all get his brother off of drugs so, he wasn't rotten to the core in the beginning.

@Utube Fknsucks He was on the payroll the whole time of his exile? Sources?

@@theallseeingmaster It’s public knowledge.. He lived off money approved by British royal family & gov’t for a certain amount of time in exile.. The prime minister, the King and then eventually Queen Elizabeth had to approve it every year.

Awesome, always wondered how it made any sense. Thanks

The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs quotes a 1546 compendium by John Heywood, “Wolde ye bothe eate your cake, and haue your cake?” In his Yale Book of Quotations, Fred Shapiro supplies a more typical phrasing from John Davies in 1611: “A man cannot eat his cake and haue it still. It can work either way. An early recording of the phrase is in a letter on 14 March 1538 from Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, to Thomas Cromwell, as "a man can not have his cake and eat his cake".[7] The phrase occurs with the clauses reversed in John Heywood's A dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of All the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue from 1546, as "wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake?".In John Davies's Scourge of Folly of 1611, the same order is used, as "A man cannot eat his cake and haue it stil."

@@ppal64 wow, talk about over kill!

Funnily enough, Prince Harry dressed as a Nazi at a party. Guess it was a party in Edward's memory. 😂

Not everything is a conspiracy, you know.

@@vermilliongecko you are right. But it's still weird that a headlining story from a world leading broadcasting company didn't get viewed at a time when the chatter about anti fascism and nazis was taking place and people were rioting. Especially when this same company can get millions of views on a subject like transgender transformations or people who hoard items. The reason why this was kept quiet is because protestors would have burned the palace to the ground. It's not a conspiracy it was just kept quiet dude. The worst thing about crime isn't usually the crime itself, it's the people involved and the way it is either covered up or right in front of the people's faces and no one cares because no one can touch the rich and powerful when they plan things right.

Do you live under a rock? This isnt news and out since a long time and even the show the crown went in on it. The royal family has better things to do than caring about YT videos...their nutty prince is out there talking about his D. THATS embarrassingly new.

How could they be trying to keep this a secret when it’s well known in history that Edward was a nazi. King George V (his father) said this about him “After I am dead, the boy will ruin himself within 12 months” and also this about his son and grand daughter who would both become a king and queen “I pray to God my eldest son will never marry and have children, and that nothing will come between Bertie and Lilibet and the throne” Edward was hated by his family and the government for good reasons.

A traitor for wanting Britain to avoid another war which for all anyone knew, could have led to the death a million dead Britons and another 1 or 2 million crippled.

Come on we all had our moments 🙁 what if were to be born in those days

Never shaken hands and made deals with fascist dictators or called for my country to be bombed into submission; sorry.

@@ALIKN1-1 you call this having a moment

@@wendygraham6863 well had few moments in England in the cousins war later Deutschland and then ended in the sand ….. so when fate give you another chance you should correct create new moments

He never be right about a thing

​@@petesmart1983 Learn English before posing with a British name

Alex Jones has never been right in his life.

I think there is a significant difference between being a traitor and being just another spoiled idiot.

🙄

Harry is not edward

@@artlandforabettertomorrow1176 No, he's worse.

@@charlottereid1752 Why because he with a Black women people like you is a waste of life they why 40% white and black couples get marry and this just the beginning and that’s why 60%of white men and Asian women get marry so don’t be mad at the Black women because all the Asian women are taking your man and that a fact.

You're far too uneducated for your family to have known the Duke of Windsor.

My understanding is that many bigwigs in Britain were naive/duped by the Germans pre WWII into believing they truly wanted peace. The movie Remains of the Day shows us an example of same. Perhaps Edward VIII is one of them? But in The Crown - I’m not sure how accurate the series is - they convey him, ultimately, as a true traitor who would have given nazis full access to Europe in exchange for the crown back. 🤔
