The Abdication of King Edward became complete today with the accession of his brother Albert to the throne. Prince Albert will now be styled as King George VI.
The King's coronation will follow at another date as is tradition.
Prince Edward addressed the British people via the BBC radio broadcast. In the address, he said "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love".
It is believed that Prince Edward will travel to France where Mrs. Wallis Simpson is already after the reaction she received in Great Britain.
