Now, this is a bit of a weird one. I'm not particularly attached to what the reason would be to keep him in power, whether that's him not marrying Simpson, or whatever would make sense.
I'm curious as to the effect that, if Edward VIII had stayed as monarch, what happens if World War Two and its events stay roughly the same up until the fall of France. Since he was pro-Germany and an interventionist in parliamentary politics, would he have tried to push the government on negotiating peace? Would he have succeeded? And if he did, what would happen in the UK after this?
The UK keeping Edward VIII in my opinion doesn't seem to change too much, with the Rhineland, Anschluss and then Munich Agreement all making sense within the same timeline. Possibly the same response regarding Poland, as the public was at their wits end. But then if it continued to be the same, Edward VIII would probably be wanting peace with Germany as much as possible, and if France fell, then could we see him finally intervene to push the government into a peace agreement?
I know its an unrealistic scenario but I find it fascinating with the potential political fallout if it happened.
