I've been reading up on "The Abdication Crisis" quite a bit lately and it got me thinking about potential Pods wihch could affect how it plays out. I've seen Edward VIII refusing to abdicate discussed here a few times, but what if his father, George V, had lived exactly 3 more years?
This means that Edward VIII is due to become King in January 1939. How does this affect his relationship with Wallis Simpson? If his relationship follows a simelar patton to OTL, is he forced by his father/the government to abdicate before he can even reign? If so how does the lack of an abdication crisis affect things?
Assuming he still ends up King though, what does the government do, baring in mind World War II is just aroun the corner?
