What was the London Star's one-word, all-caps banner headline on December 10, 1936?
Answer ABDICATION
King Edward's decision to renounce the throne was made in the name of love — specifically, his love for Wallis Simpson, a double divorcée American socialite. As royal watchers and The Crown devotees know well, the British establishment was having nothing to do with that "not our class dear" woman. Unfortunately, Edward's abdication forced his reluctant and ill-suited (though beloved) brother, the Duke of York (aka Albert, aka King George VI, aka Elizabeth's father), into the royal hot seat.
