Re: Legitimacy of UK titles following abdication

Fortunately, I have read, reviewed, and studied the LP 1917. Typically,
the study of law requires the clear understanding and usage of words
found in documents. Not only understanding the word used in a sentence,
but also the contexts in which it being applied. When King Edward VIII
abdicated his duties as King, he transmitted those rights by
tranferring such rights to the next person in the line of succession.
His "demise" was not his death as king. His "demise" was the instrument
(document of abdication) to transfer his inherited rights as monarch to
the next person qualified to assume such rights and said powers.

As he was born the son of a royal duke he was HRH as having been born
the grandson of a monarch by male desent. Hence, upon his radio
broadcast to England and the Commonwealth following his act of
abdication he was annouced as, "His Royal Highness, The Prince Edward."
Discussions were conducted between the new king, George VI, and other
court ministers and advisors how the former king should be introduced.
It was thought that Edward should be introduced as, "Mr. Edward
Windsor." However, George VI vetoed this, citing that his brother was
born the son of a royal duke therefore, at the very least Edward was
still entitled to take his place in the House of Lords and discuss
issues of the day. By "removing" his royal right by birth, then Edward
would be able to run for office and become emboiled in politics in the
House of Commons. George VI asked his advisors if that was something
they wanted? Therefore, Edward's rights transmitted by reason of birth
where not removed. Even George VI knew he could not remove a right of
birth, and politically, it could have created a even larger disaster.

Therefore, understanding words and the contexts of their usage, coupled
with review of the reasoning behind such decisions, as well as
understanding the personalities involved, is key to understanding the
event of the 1936 abdication in it full.
