1936: Abdication of King Edward VIII

Edward VIII, failing to win acceptance for his desire to marry American divorcée Wallis Warfield Simpson, became the only British sovereign to voluntarily resign the crown, his abdication formally approved this day in 1936.

How many of you would give up being King/Queen of England for love? Obviously not an issue today (or in 1533) - witness the current Prince of Wales. However, in 1936 it certainly was. So what do you all think? Feel free to say you'd dump your spouse in an instant for the throne. I promise I'll keep your identity secret!
