Edward VIII served in the British Army during World War I and conducted overseas tours for King George V. Becoming Prince of Wales at 16, he was admired for his charm and fashion sense. As king, he displayed impatience with court protocol and ignored constitutional norms. His intention to marry Wallis Simpson triggered a constitutional crisis, resulting in his abdication after a brief reign. Edward later served in the Bahamas during World War II and lived in France for the remainder of his life.
