Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936 primarily because of his desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. His relationship with Simpson was controversial and opposed by the Church of England and the British government, as marrying her would have been seen as incompatible with his role as king. Faced with the choice between the crown and his love, Edward chose to give up the throne, making him the only British monarch to voluntarily abdicate. He later became the Duke of Windsor.
