Requested edit

{{editprotected}} Can an administrator please insert a break ({{·}}) between "Edward & Mrs. Simpson (1978)" and "Wallis & Edward (2005)", and also move the noinclude tags so that there is no space between the first one and ]? Thanks,  Skomorokh  21:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Done, I think. I assume you wanted the linebreak before the <noinclude> gone, right? Thanks, Amalthea 23:01, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Aye, thanks very much.  Skomorokh  23:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

People section

I wonder if the following should be added to the people section. 1) Stanley Bruce, the former Prime Minister of Australia who was serving as High Commissioner of Australia to the United Kingdom. Bruce is widely noted as being influential in pressing for the abdication and being in London and dealing directly with the British Government arguably had more of a direct role than the incumbent Australian Prime Minister Joseph Lyons who is in the list. 2) Winston Churchill, then a back bench MP. He was the most prominent MP to speak in favour of the King and was seen as the potential leader of a "King's Party" should an election be called on the issue. Churchill's role in the abdication undoubtedly damaged him and helped prevent any return to the front bench prior to 1939. 3) Clement Attlee, the Leader of the Opposition. Attlee's support opposition to to the King marrying Mrs Simpson was crucial as it meant there was no realistic prospect of an alternate government that would support Edward coming to power. I do not like to crowd these templates so would welcome thoughts on whether these individuals should be added. Dunarc (talk) 21:00, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I have added these three in for now, but if anyone objects I am happy to discuss further. There might also be an argument for including Archie Sinclair, the Liberal leader, but I suspect that that is less clear cut. Dunarc (talk) 22:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
