Queen Elizabeth's Controversial Denial of King Edward VIII's Dying Wish

Queen Elizabeth II reportedly denied Edward VIII's deathbed wish to grant his wife, Wallis Simpson, a Her Royal Highness (HRH) title. Edward famously abdicated the throne in order to marry Simpson, paving the way for Elizabeth to become the monarch. The Queen's decision may have been influenced by the couple's alleged Nazi sympathies and participation in "Operation Willi" to overthrow the British monarchy.
