In December 1936, the United Kingdom underwent its greatest constitutional crisis of the 20th century.  The king, Edward VIII, abdicated the throne to marry an American divorcee. This might not seem like a scandal today, but at the time, it threatened to collapse the entire British government when Europe was on the brink of war.  The aftermath of the abdication crisis saw the rise of a new king and the birth of an entirely new royal line, a legacy that endures to this day.  Learn more about the abdication of Edward VIII, why it happened, and its fallout on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
