Edward VIII
Edward VIII was King of Great Britain and the Rulers of the British Empire and Emperor of India from 20 January 1936 until his abdication in December of the same year. Edward was born during the reign of his great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, the eldest of the Duke and Duchess of York, later King George V and Queen Mary. He was created as Prince of Wales on his 16th birthday, seven weeks after his father succeeded the King. As a young man, Edward served in the British Army during World War I and went on several foreign tours on behalf of his father. When he was Prince of Wales, he was involved in a series of love cases that worried both his father and then British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. Edward became king after the death of his father. As king, he was impatient with court regulations and alarmed politicians because of his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions.
