Answer
The abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 caused a constitutional crisis in Britain. Edward had proposed to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, and the government and the Church of England refused to approve the marriage. Edward chose to abdicate rather than give up the woman he loved, and his brother George VI became king.
