The dirty secret about Edward VIII is that his marriage to Wallace Simpson was the excuse used to get rid of him. The real reason was that he was too much of a nazi sympathizer (more so than Kennedy and Linburgh). Some of his conduct during the war was so outrageous that Churchill considered trying to have him prosecuted.

Winston Churchill feared the Windsor's Nazi ties so, he had the King ship them off to Bermuda during the War, and they were never allowed to return. Many biographers state that the D of W had a pact with Hitler to capitulate and after the War would be reinstalled as King.
There are many photos showing the Windsors posing with Hitler.
