...1. Sweden 2. United Kingdom 3. Greece 4. Portugal King Edward VIII had become king in January 1936, on the death of his father, George V. However, he soon got into problems with his wish to marry Wallis Simpson. The main problem was that she was a divorcee of two earlier husbands - the Anglican Church, of which Edward as King was the head, did not allow people to remarry after a divorce as long as their previous husband was still alive. Other problems included the fact that Wallis was American, that she was not of noble birth, and that Edward's relationship with her seems to have had masochistic elements. There were also rumors that she might spy for the Germans. Edward declared that he loved Wallis, and would marry her anyhow. He tried to get to a solution where he could marry her, but she would not become official Queen consort and their children would not be eligible to inherit the throne. The government, distrustful of Wallis Simpson, and also not very happy with Edward's modernization of kingship as well as his socialistic actions in political affairs, refused to accept that option, leaving Edward no choice but to abdicate from the throne. His brother Albert succeeded him, taking the royal name of George VI.
