What happens
The British government has been shaken to its very core with the announcement that the King wishes to marry the lowborn divorcée Wallis Simpson. This has resulted in outrage both among the members of parliament as well as the public, as opponents argue the King's duty is to his people and country first and foremost, and to his own happiness second. It is argued that the King, as the leader of the Church of England, which does not allow for divorcées to marry, therefore cannot marry Mrs. Simpson. The debate has now flowed over to the Dominions, and as the King has given no indication to hearing the advice of his cabinet, we must assume that the plans for the marriage will not be changed. If he forces through his will, how shall we respond?
