Please don't be offended if I correct your wording. Edward VIII abdicated (not abducted) the throne in order to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson, an American divorcee. Edward's brother then became King George VI. King George and his queen, Elizabeth, were the parents of the current Queen Elizabeth II.
