He was formerly the first in line for the throne but abdicated because of his desire to marry the American divorcee! She passed away in 1986, while Edward VIII followed her four years later. Once he abdicated the throne, he left Buckingham Palace in favor of a 14-room house in Bois du Boulogne, Paris.
