Duke of Windsorwas a title in thePeerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 March 1937, for formerKing Edward VIII, following hisabdicationon 11 December 1936. Thedukedomtakes its name from the town whereWindsor Castle, a residence ofEnglish monarchssince the time ofHenry I, following theNorman Conquest, is situated.Windsorhas been the house name of theroyal familysince 1917. King Edward VIII abdicated on 11 December 1936, so that he could marry the AmericandivorcéeWallis Simpson. At the time of the abdication, there was controversy as to how the former King should be titled. The new KingGeorge VIapparently brought up the idea of a title just after the abdication instrument was signed, and suggested using \"thefamily name\".Neither the Instrument of Abdication signed by Edward VIII on 10 December 1936, nor its enabling legislation,His Majesty\'s Declaration of Abdication Act 1936, indicated whether the king was renouncing the privileges ofroyal birthas well as relinquishing the throne.[2][3]On 12 December 1936, at the Accession Council of thePrivy Council of the United Kingdom, George VI announced he was to make his brother the \"Duke of Windsor\" with the style ofRoyal Highness.That declaration is recorded in theLondon Gazette.The Dukedom was formalised by Letters Patent on 8 March 1937. Edward, as aroyal duke, could neither stand for election to theHouse of Commonsnor speak on political subjects in theHouse of Lords.On 3 June 1937, Edward married Wallis Simpson, who upon their marriage became the Duchess of Windsor. Edward died in 1972, upon which the Dukedom of Windsor went extinct.
