The King who threw it all away for love vs the brightest Child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. If one knows their history, these are two strong royals.
Victoria(Vikki), the oldest Child of Victoria, and by far the most like her perfectionist father, Albert. And had all the good qualities of both her parents. Very beautiful, and Smart. And it is worth noting, Vikki gave birth to the eccentric "Kaiser Wilhelm II" of Germany who inadvertently got the unfair majority of the blame.
Vikki was the first to marry, and married the German Crown prince, later Frederick III who only lasted a few months before dying.
Edward VIII, love, jazz, innovation, are a words that describe Edward VIII. Speculation exists to this day whether or not he abdicated just because of his unsavory girl friend, or whether he had a liking for the policies of Hitler, and made waves to stay away from Europe.
I'd like to think he didn't know the full extent of what Hitler did. When the Duke of Windsor and his wife went to visit Germany, he was a man who was sad, and slightly offended his family did not recognize Wallis, and give her the "HRH" title.
It was a bad situation, no perfect way to handle it, and a lot of people went to their deaths not making up.
