Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te whakatata mai o te Kirihimete, ka tūmanako pea te tangata kia nui te harikoa o a Edward VIII a muri ake nei. Engari i muri i tana taenga mai ki Sandringham i te tau 1919 ki te hono atu ki tona whanau mo nga hararei, i kii ia ki tana hoa aroha he "tino, he tino mauiui ia mo tana mahi toto", e whakaahua ana i te mamae i pa ki a ia na te mea i wehewehea raua e ana mahi rangatira. I roto i tētahi reta i kitea tata nei ki tana wahine rangatira a Freda Dudley Ward, ka mārama te kōrero a Edward, 25 tau te pakeke - mā te whakamahi i tētahi reo ātaahua - ka pai ake ia ki te noho wā ki a ia i ngā mahi ā-ture.
