Yes, but he also gave up the throne for the divorced Wallace Simpson. Charles was allowed to marry the divorced Camilla Parker-Bowles.
I beg your pardon, but that was Edward VIII. The Edward I referred to just kept mistresses and visited brothels. LOL!!!
“Charles was allowed to marry the divorced Camilla Parker-Bowles.”
Yes, but Mum interfered in the relationship. I always thought it was wonderful that he truly loved her. It wasn’t just a fling. He got stuck with Diana. Things would’ve been better if he’d been allowed to stay with Camilla from the beginning.
