WI: A different spouse for Edward VIII

IOTL Edward VIII had fallen in love with Wallis Simpson, an American who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second, and was adament to marry her, causing a constitutional crisis, that ended with his abdication. The reasons why this marriage was deemed unacceptable by the British government have been widely debated, ranging from Wallis, a commoner already divorced once, being the King's mistress while still married to her second husband over her being infertile to her rather intimate relationship with the then German Ambassador to the Court of St James's Joachim von Ribbentrop.

But what if Edward VIII had fallen in love with a different woman, a princess of imperial blood, widow of a ITTL fallen general, mother of 5 children: I give you Her Imperial Highness Princess Tenagnework of the house of Solomon, daughter of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie, King of Kings of Ethiopia, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God. Nobody could object to her not being high born enough nor can there be any doubts about her fertility and even her being a widow with several children from a previous marriage has a precedent in Elizabeth Woodville.

Since 1935 the emperor's family had been living in exile at Fairfield House, Bath, but Princess Tenagnework's husband Ras Desta Damtew remained behind to command the imperial forces fighting in the south of the country. IOTL he was captured and summarily executed by the fascist forces in early 1937. Let's assume that ITTL he is killed a good year earlier, in late 1935 and let's furthermore assume that the princess is willing to convert to the Church of England before marrying Edward VIII. Would this marriage have been acceptable enough for the British establishment of the time to accept Tenagnework as Queen Consort or would Edward VIII still have to chose between his love and the crown?

Edward VIII had some sympathy towards Fascism so I don't believe that he would marry black woman. And hardly common Brits are happy too about that. Society was quiet racist on back of days.
 
Edward the Eighth had a racist streak IIRC. I don't see this as plausable.
Let's assume he either never develops this racist streak or overcomes it and is just as adamant to marry the Ethiopian princess as he was marrying Wallis Simpson IOTL. Would there be the same resistance from the British government against this match as there was against Edward OTL choice? And what would be the stated rationale behind such resistance?

Society and politicians might be still bit too racist accept such thing.
