BBC Documentaries - Abdication: A Very British Coup

Seizoen: 2009 - Aflevering: 90 / 1028 - Eerst uitgezonden: 26 mei 2009 - Episode ID: 556024

Documentary which sheds new light on the greatest crisis to rock the British monarchy in centuries - the abdication of King Edward VIII. Usually, it has been presented as the only possible solution to his dilemma of having to choose between the throne and the woman he loved. Using secret documents and contemporary diaries and letters, this film shows a popular monarch whose modern ideas so unsettled the establishment that his love for Wallis Simpson became the perfect excuse to bounce him off the throne.
