EDITORS COMMENTS
December 12, 1936: A Historical Moment in Time - The Daily Mirror's Front Cover Announces King Edward VIII's Decision to Marry Wallis Simpson This iconic front cover of the Daily Mirror, dated December 12, 1936, captures a pivotal moment in British history. The headlines boldly read, "Edward VIII Chooses Mrs. Simpson," announcing the King's controversial decision to marry the American socialite, Wallis Simpson. King Edward VIII's choice to marry Mrs. Simpson, who was twice divorced, provoked a constitutional crisis. At the time, the Church of England and the British monarchy did not recognize divorcees as suitable partners for the monarch. The public was shocked, and the government, the Church, and the people were divided over the issue. The King's decision to marry Mrs. Simpson led to his abdication from the throne on December 11, 1936. Edward VIII was succeeded by his brother, Albert, who became King George VI. This front cover serves as a reminder of the historical significance of King Edward VIII's decision and the impact it had on the British monarchy and society. The Daily Mirror's bold reporting captured the public's attention and played a role in shaping the narrative of this important moment in history.
