Her uncle resigned to be w/ the woman he loved, Wallis Simpson. Her father, who never wanted to be king became king. He died while she was on her honeymoon in Africa I believe & she came home & became queen. She is a class act.

Yes, a class act. There is a great little 24 page booklet about the night she became Queen in 1953 while staying in a tree house in the African bush. She was guarded from leopards and such by the famous man-eating tiger hunter from British India, Jim Corbett, who wrote the little booklet about her called "Tree Tops". He is most famous for his book, "Man-eaters of Kumaon."

Her “uncle” and Wallis Simpson were flaming Nazi sympathizers, film of them both riding in a car with Hitler while on a trip to Berlin. Churchill wanted him arrested for treason because he found out that Edward was colluding with the Nazis to force a peace with England.

This documentary spells it all out.
