What happens
The recent bombings of London have now resulted in the deaths of King Edward and his wife Wallis. Around 3 o'clock, a surprise bombing raid forced the couple to take cover in the palace's cellar. One bomb hit the building above and brought down the cellar's ceiling upon the King and his entourage. While the nation mourns the loss of its monarch, the King's brother, Albert, now prepares to succeed him, taking the regnal name George VI.
