Actually St James Palace is also the venue where Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their marriage). Their marriage was blessed with six children namely King Edward VIII, King George VI, Princess Mary, Prince Henry, Prince George and Prince John (

However,he was only reigned for 11 months when he decided to abdicate in order to marry Wallis Simpson,a widower.After the abdication,he was known as,Prince Edward the Duke of Windsor.To replace the throne,Prince Albert was chosen to be elected as the new king of Great Britain as King George VI.
