December 10, 1936: A Split Government and a Divorced King - The Abdication Crisis This evocative photograph captures a car adorned with pro-King Edward VIII slogans, emblazoned on its sides, as it navigates the streets of London during the tumultuous Abdication Crisis of 1936. The crisis arose when King Edward VIII, the monarch at the time, expressed his desire to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson, a decision that sparked a deep rift within the British government. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the political turmoil that ensued, as the king's decision to marry Simpson, despite the disapproval of the Church and the government, threatened to undermine the monarchy's standing and reputation. The split within the government was palpable, with some ministers advocating for Edward to abdicate the throne in favor of his younger brother, Albert (who later became King George VI). Eventually, on December 10, 1936, Edward made the fateful decision to abdicate, relinquishing the throne and marrying Wallis Simpson the following June. This photograph, taken on the day of Edward's abdication, encapsulates the intense emotions and divisions that marked this pivotal moment in British history. The car's slogans, which read "Support King Edward VIII" and "Down with the Cabal," reflect the deep-seated loyalty and support that some still held for the embattled monarch, even as the tide turned against him.
