Christopher Andrew hosts the discussion in this entirely speculative alternative history programme. He invites historians David Cannadine and Philip Ziegler to imagine the repercussions if King Edward VIII had not been forced to abdicate. Would he have gone on to marry Wallis Simpson or might another woman have taken her place? What kind of queen would Mrs Simpson have made, and what effect could these potential changes have had upon the future of the British monarchy?
