Buckingham Palace Bombed - King Edward Dead

Extensive strategic bombing in the capital area has now taken its ultimate toll. At 3:41 p.m. yesterday afternoon, St. James's park and Buckingham Palace were struck by a strike conducted by multiple enemy bombers. Though rescue services arrived at the scene within minutes, they were forced to conclude that King Edward and his wife Wallis were killed instantly when a bomb detonated and brought down the cellar's ceiling upon them. Though the deaths of the King has plunged the nation into mourning, preparations are already underway for the coronation for his successor. As a result of the King's morganatic marriage, the line of succession now passes through his brother, Albert, who has chosen the regnal name George VI as he prepares for his coronation.
