If King Edward had no longer abdicated the throne, yet had defied the PM and married the lady of his decision and retained the crown (and had he shown slightly gumption, he might have performed basically that!) that's fairly unlikely that Edward and Wallis might have had any project, as Wallis have been married two times before and did no longer have babies, nor did she and Edward have babies. On Edward's loss of life, his brother, who assumed the throne as King George, might nevertheless have taken the throne and, as he had no sons, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth, might are growing to be our queen. So Edward's circulate replaced into between the few that he might have made that did no longer substitute the succession of the throne. Had he married somebody different than Wallis and had babies along with her, then the succession might have long previous to a newborn of that marriage.

It would be the same. Even before the death of George V, some people were quietly predicting that Elizabeth would become queen some day. There's no room here to get into the issue of Edward's sexuality or the strange tales of Mrs Simpson's physiology. But the outcome would have been the same if he had remained king, whether or not he was married to Wallis.

Elizabeth who happens to be our Queen now. Edward had no children so she would have been the next in line.

Do you mean, "Who" would be the king/queen of England? One of his children.

In that case, there wouldn't be a monarchy now. The Brits would have abolished the monarchy by now, which is what they should do ASAP.
Some dysfunctional people should be permanently in an institution, but not if the institution is the monarchy.

It would be the same, but different. Other people would be in the throne.
