People Are Surprised To Find This Expert’s Reasoning On Why This Prince Can’t Become King

Abdicating The Throne

Because Queen Elizabeth has stayed on the throne for 70 years now, Prince Charles who is supposed to take on the throne after her, has also aged in that span of time. But in that sense, it’s not the first time that a royal has turned down the throne.

But the reasoning behind is not for any political reason, but because of love. King Edward VIII was forbidden to marry a twice-divorced American and at the same time remain on the throne. His love for his woman was greater than his desire to rule, so he gave up the throne in a heartbeat.
