That would please them enormously, if they only knew! He was handsome, over-sexed and reluctant to be King because that meant following rules and being respectable. He wanted to marry a twice-married American lady, but the monarch is the Head of the Church of England, whatever that means in real life, and that church at the time didn't recognise divorces. He married her, very soon after her second divorce, and they lived in exile in France except during the war, when he was sent to a Caribbean island as its governor to keep him away from Hitler's Germany, which he was far too impressed by. Not a nice man at all. Sorry to hit you with all this dated trivia, but it is somewhat relevant!
