The Duke and Duchess were to become King George VI of England and Queen Elizabeth.

Following his abdication of the throne, Edward (formerly King Edward VIII) was given the title Duke of Windsor. He married Wallis Simpson in France in June 1937 after her second divorce became final.

Edward chose to give up the crown to marry Simpson. His brother, George VI, would become king until his death in 1952. His daughter, Elizabeth, took over the throne and has served as queen ever since.
