Crown Prince Edward VII (1841-1910) was in his late sixties when he finally ascended the throne after decades of waiting. The long and almost hopeless wait also wore down Edward's youthful ambition to some extent, and his interest in women and horses far exceeded his interest in governing the country. It should be noted that Alice Copple, Edward VII's lifelong mistress, was the great-grandmother of Camilla, the future mistress of Prince Charles. Before Edward VII died, as the king's mistress, Alice had become a well-known figure and generally accepted by people, so when the king died, Edward's Queen Alexander sent someone to invite Alice Copple to Edward VII's bed to accompany him through the last days before his death. Edward VII was greatly loved by the people. The people loved the king not only because he was kind, well-dressed and sociable, but also because of a political legacy left by Edward VII. Edward VII's greatest political achievement was to sign a treaty with France, which ensured that Britain and France would form an alliance in the First World War against the German Empire ruled by Edward VII's nephew, William II. The famous military alliance "Entente" in history originated from this. On September 5, 1914, Britain, France and Russia signed an agreement in London, and the Entente countries were formally born. Edward VII's eldest son died in infancy,Pallet rack beams, and his second son, George V (1865-1936), succeeded to the throne in 1910. Four years later, George V led his country into an unprecedented World War I with his cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. With the progress of the war, the people's hatred for the German Empire and William II became stronger and stronger. At the same time, they were dissatisfied with the fact that the British royal family still followed the name of the Germanic Hanoverian family,heavy duty racking system, and even began to doubt the loyalty of the king to his motherland. For this reason, George V decided to change his surname and give himself and the royal family a purely English name to draw a clear line with German blood. Thus, a new Dynasty, the Windsor Dynasty, was born in 1917. George V also did a good job in defusing the crisis of national confidence in him. After the death of George V in 1936, his eldest son Edward VIII (1894-1972) ascended the throne and was forced to abdicate at the end of the same year, thus performing a very rare love tragedy in British and even world history. As fate would have it, the Prince of Wales spent most of his pre-throne years abroad, during which time he met American woman Wallis Warfield Simpson. They felt like old friends at first sight, and their feelings warmed up sharply. The problem is that Mrs. Simpson has already divorced once, and if she lives with the future king of England, she must divorce a second time. There are even rumors that she was close to senior figures in the Nazi Empire. The British government and the public were shocked by it. At that time, Drive in racking system ,long span shelving, British Prime Minister Stanley Bydwin repeatedly begged him to change his mind, and his whole family also advised him to make a new choice, but he was determined to make the choice of abandoning the country and marrying a beautiful woman without hesitation. He said again and again, "I can't live without the woman I love." Why does he have to find a divorced woman who is not very beautiful as his lifelong partner. Wallis is said to be "always witty and able to dispel Edward's melancholy and make him feel loved and needed.". Edward VIII's weakness was that he was sensitive and eager to be coddled after a lonely childhood. Edward once said, "In my childhood, I never seemed to know what it means to be loved.". The servants all seemed to show great concern for me, as if they all loved me, but I think it was because I was the heir king, so I never felt that I was loved. My parents may love me, but unfortunately it's hard for me to really feel their love for my son. His great-nephew, Prince Charles, is very similar to him in this respect. Charles once complained: "When I was growing up, I never felt a loving family environment, nor was I comforted by my family.". Mothers seem to love me, but I don't know if it's because of who I'm going to be, or because of my special status in the past and in the future. Maybe he also needs a woman who can comfort him and spoil him. In the 1930s, it was obviously inconceivable for a twice-divorced American woman to enter the British royal family and become Queen of England, especially when Britain was facing the threat of war. From the day Edward decided to marry Wallis, the royal family was in a state of crisis, and there was no peace for months. But Edward had made up his mind that he would rather lose the throne than leave the woman he loved. Faced with this dilemma, the British royal family had to set up another king. So, on September 10, 1936, Edward signed his resignation and lost the crown of King of the British Empire. At the same time that Edward VIII announced his resignation from the throne, his brother, the Duke of York, formally declared his succession to the throne as George VI. Since then, Britain has had a new monarch. The day after Edward's abdication, British radio became the focus of public attention, and almost all the British people listened quietly to Edward's radio speech. In his speech, Edward spoke in a poignant tone about the real reason why he had plunged the royal family and the country into crisis. "Without the help and support of a woman I love, I would not be able to fulfill my duties and obligations as the king of a country," he said. Just two days later, Edward was exiled to France. On June 3, 1937, he formally married Wallis at their new residence, the Chateau de Conde on the outskirts of Paris, and became a real couple. Edward VIII gave up the throne because of love and lived in exile for the rest of his life. He must earn his own living and endure an overwhelming loneliness. Although he was accompanied by the woman he loved all his life, the British royal family never accepted her,radio shuttle racking, let alone embraced her, welcomed her and recognized her. The British royal family still allows them to continue to use the title of Duke of Windsor and Duchess of Windsor, but it is only a name. omracking.com
