Duke of Windsor and Duchess of Windsor 02.12.53 Rd7171 y2k
Born Richmond, Surrey 23 June 1894. As Prince of Wales he made several tours around the Empire and became increasingly concerned about levels of poverty in Britain. His public appearances made him increasingly popular. However, during the abdication crisis he was forced to relinquish the throne and migrate after marrying twice divorced American Wallis Simpson. They married in 1937 and settled in France. As Duke of Windsor he visited Germany that year, causing embarrasment to the crown. In 1940 the Government thought that Germany might try and kidnap the Duke so he was moved to the Bahamas where he served as governor. However, many historians now feel that he was in fact moved because of his sympathies with the Nazi regime. He was buried in Windsor in 1972 as was the Duchess of Windsor after her death in 1986.
