Ban persists over Edward VIII marriage and Windsor stance
AP reports on how the British royal family and church disenfranchise Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor even years after abdication. The piece notes constitutional church norms, court practices, and the archbishop and prime minister warnings, plus questions of forgiveness and homecoming for the exiled couple. Philadelphia’s 1790 census figure is mentioned in passing.
