Edward VIII

Edward invited Prime Minister Baldwin

Monday Nov 16, 1936
Buckingham Palace, London, England, United Kingdom

On 16 November 1936, Edward invited Prime Minister Baldwin to Buckingham Palace and expressed his desire to marry Simpson when she became free to remarry. Baldwin informed him that his subjects would deem the marriage morally unacceptable, largely because remarriage after divorce was opposed by the Church of England, and the people would not tolerate Simpson as queen.
