Edward VIII: The Plot to Topple a King

Newly uncovered documents reveal the real motivations behind King Edward VIII's decision to abdicate, contradicting the widespread notion that his marriage to a twice-divorced woman was the sole reason for his departure from the throne.

Newly-released documents reveal that Archbishop Cosmo Gordon Lang played a significant role in King Edward VIII's abdication, driven not only by his marriage to a divorcee but also by Lang's disapproval of the King's lifestyle and modern values.
