What would Britiain and by extension the British Empire look like if Edward VIII hadn't abdicated?

Nothing would change
Logan Evans
He was much friendlier with Germany than his brother was. But he might also have been more supportive of Churchill early on as things got inevitably worse.
Might have been a more dynamic public presence for the Crown itself. No need for a new heir means no Queen Elizabeth having a televised public coronation later, which means no Prince Philip, which also means there’s no Charles to meet Diana.
But Wallis Simpson was an utterly garbage-tier human being, so I just cannot see the British allowing her to be queen.

He gets exiled to Canada and has to fight a Communist British government, Canada annexes New England too.

>take back UK
>forced to give up Canada and play as broke post-commie shithole britain
I love Eddie but fuck that shit
Logan Butler
Just do the T.E Lawrence coup
Ian Harris
You do realise that British monarchs are figure heads with zero say in policy right ?
Blake Myers
They do shape it, and are the symbolic head of the Church
The head of the Church marrying a twice divorcee? Who is not even Anglican, nor liked by any of the elites, whether politicians, royalty or nobility.
And Edward sympathized with the Nazis.

Why is that?
Landon Ward
She was american
Noah Stewart
The way she got Edward was by treating him like shit, he was into that
She wasn't liked by anyone in Edward's life
There's a reason, beyond appearances, that she wasn't welcome in anything having to do with the Royal Family.
Luke Johnson
Do all nazi sympathisers have problems with women?
Ayden Gray
Possibly, it appeals to a certain type of person
Found an article about her personality
independent.ie
Not sure how trustworthy it is, but it basically points out the reasons no one liked her, but Edward

Legislative power =/= influence.
The crown wields significant influence.
Zachary King
I don't think it's fair to say he was a Nazi sympathizer, he just wanted to keep them around as a communist deterrent. Edward apparently always had a distrust in Germans because of his experience in WW1.

>Do all nazi sympathisers have problems with women?
You're a retard or what? He was trated like shit be a woman.
The next thing you say is "go back to /pol/".
Chase Torres
Didn’t Charles do exactly that
Asher Hill
It wasn't that bad, Charles married an Anglican British woman with noble blood who divorced once
Parker Perry
Charles also chose a woman who actually respected the crown (and the man wearing it).
Julian Harris
part of me think invading Poland would be a deal breaker for him too
no one really wanted to fuck with the nazis until they started breaking shit.
