Nothing honorable about it. Edward was forced to abdicate--not only
because of his choice of wives, but for strong political reasons. He
had close ties with Hitler. Much has been written about his "deal" with
Hitler to have himself (Edward) installed on the throne of England when
Germany supposedly won the war. Edward and Wallis were forced into a 5
year exile in the Bahamas during the war,--as far from England and in
the most controlled isolation that the Crown could come up with. No,
not honorable.
