Question by Charlie: Is it true that when Edward VIII abdicated, the line of succession ceased?
to exist?

I remember reading somewhere that when Edward VIII abdicated, Parliament had to intervene because when a King abdicates, the line of succession ends therefore in effect ending the dynasty and the Monarchy.

I'm not explaining it well, but apparently the heir of the sovereign was not George VI because there was no sovereign to succeed because he had abdicated and not died. In other words, when a monarch abdicates in the UK, the heir cannot succeed a non-existant sovereign except on death where it is consiered that the monarch does not die, In this case, nobody died.

Apparently, Parliament had to select an heir and decided to continue with George VI but had designs on one of his other brothers who was considered more suitable at the time

Is this true?

Answer by Peter Taylor
I am not an expert, however I heard many times that there is NEVER a dead Monarch in UK, since his successor immediately becomes the new King/Queen after his or her death. This may well extent to the abdication also...

There was never a question WHO would succeed Edward VIII, since George VI (then Prince Albert, Duke of York) was always considered as most suitable to rule UK, even with his infamous stuttering and public shyness problem. George V famously stated that notning would stand in the way if his "Berty and Lizzy" coming to the throne...
