"ROYAL" CHRISTMAS CARDS

On rare occasions, the dimensional streams are rent or intersect in strange ways - and all kinds of random objects are thrown into the world of Hereford1938. Prepare to be astonished, therefore, by what follows - clear evidence of the existence of the multiverse. Apparently, there is at least one parallel universe in which the Very British Civil War never took place......instead, however difficult it might be to believe, Edward VIII chose a life of abdication and wasteful exile in preference to leading his troops into battle across Great Britain:

King Edward VIII and Queen Wallis - or the strangely titled
"Duke and Duchess of Windsor" ?

In this bizarre parallel universe, Edward VIII married his Wallis - but was then hastily bundled off  by the British Establishment to become Governor of the Bahamas.....

Blown in from the parallel universe - a 1940 Christmas Card from "Edward and Wallis Windsor"
at Government House, Bahamas.

.....and then retired to a comfortable exile in Paris:




Christmas Cards from Parisian exile - the lifelong result of this Edward's
 decision to abdicate rather than fight for his throne.

Thankfully, Hereford1938 does not have to contemplate this heresy, but will continue to battle out the historical events of the Very British Civil War next year and - deo volente - for many years to come. Still, we are happy to accept Christmas Greetings from anyone, most particularly so if (at least in our universe) they are decidedly royal...
