...layman, part priest. Queen Victoria was of the opinion that she was the head of the Church of England, virtually a female Pope. Although Prime Minister Gladstone gently dispelled this impetuous pretension (pointing out certain ambiguities in the Coronation ceremony), Her Majesty was far more right than she was wrong in the eyes of English churchgoers. The unspeakable dilemma in the case of Edward VIII in recent weeks has been: "Can there be consecrated, as a part-priest or part-Pope, one who we all know has done everything to face us with the fact that he is resolved...

What is it that makes an American inferior to a German?"-i. e., the Prince Consort Albert or Queen Mary, whose girlhood title was Princess of Teck in Germany, though Her Majesty was born in England. "Personally I believe the Cabinet is wrong about the Dominions," continues Colonel Wedgwood, "I believe the Dominions are behind the King, just as are the mass of people in this country!" Says beefy Lord Castlerosse, the inseparable companion of tiny Lord Beaverbrook: "The King M has an inferiority complex. . . . Mrs. Simpson has built up her man. . . . She said...
