EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silk handkerchief, dated 1936, serves as a captivating window into the rich history of the British monarchy and the unexpected turn of events that unfolded during the planned coronation of King Edward VIII. The design features a stunning representation of the Union Jack flag, emblazoned with the royal crest and the inscription "Edward VIII Rex," symbolizing the patriotic fervor and anticipation for the coronation ceremony on May 15, 1937. However, the coronation was never to take place as King Edward VIII, the first monarch of the House of Windsor, shocked the world by abdicating the throne on December 11, 1936. The abdication came as a result of the King's desire to marry Wallis Simpson, an American divorcee, which was deemed unacceptable by the Church of England and the British people. Despite the sudden turn of events, this commemorative handkerchief remains a fascinating piece of royal memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the grand plans for the coronation of a king who reigned for only a short time. The intricate design, the high-quality silk material, and the historical significance make this handkerchief a cherished collector's item and a testament to the enduring allure of the British monarchy.
