Past without future. History of King Edward VIII
© A.A. Polyakova, 2013
“Kings no longer play a big role these days, so they are quickly forgotten. But David will be remembered for a long time... thanks to me."
Wallis Warfield, Duchess of Windsor (formerly Mrs. Simpson)Many people know the story of King Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne for the sake of his beloved woman, Wallis Simpson. It is generally accepted that the reason for his abdication was his desire to marry a twice-divorced American woman, which was opposed by the royal family, the English government and the Church of England. This official version satisfied everyone. The legend of passionate love still haunts the imagination of the fair sex - to exchange the royal throne for love. But is that really how it was?
“I find it impossible to bear the heavy burden of responsibility and perform the duties of king as I would like without the help and support of the woman I love,” Edward VIII said on the radio on the night of December 11, 1936. Was he forced to say it himself, or was he forced to do so? Or maybe Wallis was just a pawn of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and Parliament to eliminate the unprofitable king? Or did Edward himself avoid this fate, hiding behind his crazy love for an American? There are too many subtleties in this story that are not so clear cut.
By 1936, Edward enjoyed enormous popularity among the British - during the First World War, he took a direct part in hostilities, then he was the first English monarch to fly in an airplane, and, in general, did a lot to maintain his image. This brave, charismatic, worthy, and simply attractive man turned the course of the history of his country for the sake of one woman? A beautiful legend often hides an unpleasant truth. And in this case, history is fraught with many interesting facts, which I, dear readers, invite you to get acquainted with.
There are a huge number of versions of what happened in the first half of the 20th century in the royal family. Connections with the Nazis, Edward's homosexuality, his complete male incompetence, the prudence of the selfish and domineering Wallis Simpson, the drug and sexual addiction of both, the cunning plan of the government - and this is only a small part of the existing assumptions and guesses of researchers. It just so happens that this scandalous period of history is still covered in a veil of secrecy, and much is classified as “top secret.” The royal family is ashamed of Edward, but she was able to rehabilitate herself and continue the reign of the great country with dignity. One way or another, it was thanks to the fact that Edward VIII abdicated that the throne passed to his younger brother Albert, who took the name of George VI in his reign, and then to Albert’s daughter, the current Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II. If this had not happened, the history of Great Britain in the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries. could have been completely different.
Part I. The King's Story
Prince of Wales. Born to be a king
In order to understand and appreciate the complexity of the character of the Duke of Windsor, to analyze why he became a “black spot” on the reputation of the royal family and was disliked by the then government, one should briefly forget all the well-known myths and legends that have surrounded the person of Edward VIII over the past eighty years, and immerse yourself in history, not yet desecrated by 1937, in which the meeting of Eduard and Adolf Hitler took place. It is generally accepted that the king's abdication was directly related to Wallis Simpson - this version was the most acceptable for the royal family, which they try to adhere to to this day. Who knows what would have happened to Britain and its throne if Edward had not abdicated in 1936, but remained king until his death (early 70s). If, under a fatal set of circumstances, he had remained on the throne, given Edward’s political views and ideological predilections, today we would see a completely different country. There are a number of reasons why such a conclusion can be drawn: there was a conflict in Edward’s very personality - he positioned himself as a modern man, chasing the latest innovations, although he himself was born in the Victorian era (at the end of the nineteenth century). It combined remnants of antiquity and innovation. It represented the end of the imperial world, of royal prerogatives, and, at the same time, witnessed the emergence of all kinds of innovations: the modern world of telephony, cinema, passenger airliners, cars and other inventions. His upbringing was classical, from birth he was accustomed to the fact that everyone was obliged to show respect to him and, as an heir, he always received the best. He was born become king.
So, the full name of Edward VIII is Edward Albert Christian Georg Andrew Patrick David of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Edward himself explains this order of his names as follows: “The name Edward has already been borne by six English kings; the name Albert was an innovation of Queen Victoria, who wished that all her descendants would bear the name of her beloved husband, Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Prince Consort; Christian - in honor of the Danish king Christian IX - the father of my grandmother, Alexander; the last four names belong to the patron saints of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales… My family always called me David.».
The future Edward VIII was born in London on June 23, 1894, into one of the most influential royal families in Europe. He was destined to become King of Great Britain and the Dominions, Emperor of India, Head of State and the all-powerful British Empire. With all his guts he was ready to become Queen Victoria's successor. Great-grandmother, whom Edward affectionately called Gangan, was a very politically literate monarch; it was under her rule that Britain became the strongest world power, including thanks to marriages between monarchical families. In addition to being Edward's uncle, Russian Tsar Nicholas II was also his godfather; and Eduard stayed at the residence of Kaiser Wilhelm II “Bernsdorf” in the summer. The boy grew up with the consciousness that almost the whole world belonged to him - politics was dictated by his own family, and time could be spent in the personal residences of the royalty of Europe.
Little Edward could be described as a shy, somewhat nervous, modest, curious and timid boy. According to Edward himself, as a child he “had few friends and almost no freedom. Huckleberry Finn wasn't around to turn the boring and timid English prince into Tom Sawyer. Growing up was a prolonged torment for me.” It was a time of remnants of the last century. Much at that time was already outdated, but had not yet had time to be replaced by something new.
Edward was brought up in strictness, rarely heard praise or tender words from his father. “When I was born, my father wrote in his diary: “White Loggia, June 23 - Sweet little boy born at 10am, weighing 8lbs... Mr Asquith (Minister of Internal Affairs) came to look at the worthlessness Probably; this is the first and last time my father allowed himself to call me that..."– Edward recalled. And there is a justification for this - in the royal family it was not customary to pamper or pamper their children; etiquette, many formalities and subtleties were observed in everything. There were always a lot of people and servants in the house, which in no way contributed to even the remotest concept of “home comfort.” Communication between parents and children was regulated, and more than the allotted time (about half an hour) was never allowed. Therefore, Edward's early years passed exclusively under the supervision of his nannies. The baby was brought to his parents every day for the traditional tea party, after which he was taken away again. “When the nanny took me to my parents, for some unknown reason, she always squeezed my hand very tightly; supposedly to demonstrate their power over me, which my parents did not possess... Fortunately, my mother always understood what was going on in time and changed one nanny for another.”
His father treated Edward with all seriousness and responsibility, seeing in him his future successor and king of a great country. Despite the fact that Edward did not have a spoiled childhood, he did not have a tyrannical attitude. He remembers his childhood years kindly - yet, compared to his later life, this time was the most serene for him. Parents have always protected their children, sometimes hiding bad news, instilling a sense of duty and responsibility from childhood.
People's Artist of Russia, Honored Artist, State Prize laureate, literary critic, music critic, publicist, TV presenter, chairman of the Bunin Prize jury. Svyatoslav Belza was such a multifaceted and large-scale personality that it is probably impossible to list all his merits and honorary titles. But that's not even the main thing. He was a man who personified style.
Belza devoted his entire life to art; from his articles and books one can actually trace the history of world culture and literature. Svyatoslav Belza worked on television for more than 40 years and was the author of many programs about music. Friends and colleagues noted his extraordinary erudition and rare sense of humor.
Denis Matsuev, pianist, People's Artist of Russia: “I can’t imagine how the theatrical and social life of our country will exist without Svyatoslav Igorevich. We are very sad and condole with his sons Igor and Fedor. Of course, this is a big blow for our entire culture.”
Svyatoslav Belza was born in 1942 in Chelyabinsk, and studied in Moscow, at the famous English special school in Sokolniki. My parents were musicians, my father was a professor at the conservatory. Belza himself jokingly said that as a child he was “overfed with music.” In fact, it was his family that shaped him as a person, he says NTV correspondent Sergei Kholoshevsky.
Later, as a student at the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University, Svyatoslav Belza took up fencing quite seriously and became the university champion and Moscow champion among youths.
After university, Belza goes to work as a research assistant at the Institute of World Literature and remains there for 37 long years. The author of many scientific works and hundreds of prefaces, Svyatoslav Belza becomes an indisputable authority in the field of literature and music criticism.
Soon he first appears on television in the “Travelers Club” by Yuri Senkevich, whom Belza called his godfather on television. For eight years, Svyatoslav Belza has been the author and presenter of the “Music on Air” program, artistic director of music programs, and recently the author of the series of programs “Masterpieces of World Musical Theater” on the “Culture” TV channel.
For many years Svyatoslav Belzu, as they say now: always in a tuxedo, always impeccable. Once, the legend of Russian cinema Vasily Lanovoy joked that Belza even sleeps in a tuxedo.
Svyatoslav Belza’s personal life, as he himself said, was difficult. He was married twice, both times to English teachers. From his first marriage he left two sons: Igor and Fedor. He called them "my musketeers." In the end, Svyatoslav Belza returned to his mother.

The fact that the Mendelssohn march is familiar to your boyfriend firsthand has not only obvious disadvantages, but also important advantages. Since he was already married, together with his wealth of experience he will be able to offer you...
Not only cute, but also a realistic look
He knows that family means holidays and happiness in the form of guaranteed sex at any time and a baked piece of mammoth on Sunday. But also everyday life, and with it work on relationships, responsibility and various variations (“days like this”, pregnancy, mortgage), which require calm, patience and informed decisions.
Getting ready for a serious relationship
He was there. He survived the aftermath of a shipwreck, and since he's with you, the diagnosis is clear: he's not the type to be afraid of commitment or relationships. Your man has built a new ship and is assembling a crew for it. He knows that the journey may not be easy, but he believes that the new ship is stronger than the previous one. And it’s somehow more fun together!

Demo version of your common future
Looking at him and his previous life (file everything in the “case” - his stories about his previous family, photographs and videos, the way he communicates with his children and ex-wife), you will be able to make a completely realistic forecast of the development of your own story. This demo is not 100% correct, but it is still very informative: you, for example, are aware of the risks.
What are they? Let's study it!
Psychologist Maria Surygina breaks down what types of divorced men you might encounter and what the prognosis is. And girls who have found “used grooms” share their experiences.
- He keeps getting married
- Married for a short time, no children
- He was married for a long time and... “happily”
Psychologist:“For your boyfriend, “People get together, break up, and then get married again” is a common thing? Then your chances of keeping such a husband in the family for more than a few years (and sometimes months) are slim. And is it necessary to hold it? But be careful, don’t be lazy to scout the territory: sometimes you can diagnose the “habit of getting married” to someone who has been married twice (or even three times!) due to their own stupidity, imprudence or an incredible coincidence of circumstances.
Veronica:“If I had just heard that Lenya was married three times at the age of thirty, I would never have given him the green light. Thanks to our mutual friend, who knew Lenya since childhood, she told me that out of the three marriage stamps in his passport, only one should be taken seriously. The first seal meant “to escape from the parental nest at any cost” (the marriage, concluded at the age of 18 with a classmate, lasted several months and ended during the summer session), another was “gift” - he wanted to help a good girl get an American visa... and he did ! Perhaps, in someone’s eyes, being the fourth official wife is not very honorable, but the main thing is that we have a good time together, and I completely trust him!
Psychologist:“Everyone makes mistakes. If the marriage was short, most likely this was a mistake noticed in time. This fact does not mean anything. Is it about the fact that the less baggage from your past life your man takes with him into the new one, the better it will be for both of you!”
Masha:“At the moment of meeting Misha, it was clear that his family union had ended, and this was not just the end, but a real happy end: no betrayals, no scandals - the usual, quiet prose of life, love just passed in a couple of years. Yes, there were many pitfalls, but my husband and his ex-wife managed to forgive each other and, having cleared each of their own fairways, parted like ships at sea.”
Psychologist:“Beware of comparisons with your ex-wife! But you still shouldn’t dwell on this: if a man compares you, it’s not because he’s still thinking about her, but out of habit. Do frequent comparisons continue even after several months of marriage? Then it seems there is reason to think.”
Asya:“My husband was married happily ever after. Fifteen years old. Then it was all over. What can you do, this also happens. I know there is an opinion that discussing ex-partners is harmful, but I don’t agree with that. Before we got married, I asked him everything that was generally acceptable to ask about life in a previous marriage. My man spoke out, illuminated all the dark places. At times it hurt me, but I understood that we had to get through it and that it was for our benefit. We have been together for three years, and the advice that I gave myself at the beginning of our family life is still relevant now: do not try to outplay his ex. She marinated mushrooms deliciously, and he still remembers them with longing? Great! But mushrooms are not my thing, and I don’t need to rush into this forest. After all, he is with me, despite the mushroom talents of his former wife. But the main thing is that I never allowed myself to make any statements about her, especially derogatory ones. Only respectful neutrality."
- Divorce after betrayal and resentment
- Children from a previous marriage
- Divorced man over 35 years old
Psychologist:“A man, even once traumatized in a previous relationship, will react sharply to anything that even remotely reminds him of the pain he experienced. This does not mean that after his wife’s betrayal, a man will forever turn into Othello. Everything is much more subtle. Betrayal does not happen out of nowhere; it is always preceded by something in the family - some have a storm, some have a calm. It’s these storms (or, conversely, calms) that your loved one will be wary of in a new relationship - and protect himself where you, it would seem, gave no reason.”
Nika:“My husband was married twice before me and both times he divorced hastily, due to grievances and unexplained suspicions. I understood that where there were two times, there was a third time. To prevent this, in the first years of our marriage, I did a lot of work on the topic “Ways to constructively resolve conflicts.” At the first, still imperceptible alarm signal, long before my husband wants to pack his things and slam the door, we sit down and talk. After that, there are no more people willing to slam the door. A husband, remembering his past, often wonders why it didn’t occur to him and his ex-wives to just sit down and calmly discuss the problems.”
Psychologist:“Find out what kind of relationship your man has with his child. Find out how and how much they communicate, what his financial obligations are. This is a given, and you will have to accept these numbers in hours and in rubles. Don't try to seriously influence them! By persuading your lover to spend less time with the child or to cut alimony from a fair amount to a pitiful percentage of a “white” salary, you will make a petty scoundrel out of a decent person. Think carefully about whether you need someone like that nearby.
If you can’t accept the situation - respect your husband for the fact that he is a man, and establish normal relationships with his children (note, no one is forcing you to passionately adore them!) - it’s better to move away. Look for a childless person.”
Oksana:“When I found out that my husband had a daughter from his first marriage, I decided to make friends with her. Simply because I understood: since there is a child, he will grow up, learn about my existence and make some conclusions about me. Let him draw conclusions from personal communication. When we started talking, she was six years old. Now she is thirteen, and it so happens that she lives with us. We have a warm, trusting relationship. I’m glad that from the very beginning I didn’t isolate myself from the fact of her existence, although I didn’t imagine that we would have to live together.”
Psychologist:“If your divorced boyfriend is not very young, then you are more likely to win. Statistics show: in this case, it is better to marry a divorced person than someone who has never been married. After all, if before the age of 35 a man had no relationship in which he believed, then before you start dreaming of a lace garter, it’s worth asking: “What’s wrong with him?” Alas, the answer to you will most likely be the sound of a rockfall - and go figure out which of the stones means self-centeredness, which is immaturity, and which is an unhealthy relationship with parents ...
