In the case of George VI, who succeeded to the throne upon the wrenching abdication of Edward VIII, the decision was taken purely and simply on the grounds that 'King Albert I' would be too much novelty and change on top of the catastrophe of the abdication. Nonetheless, once the government confirmed that Edward 8 was going to abdicate, the papers were full of 'Hail King Albert' and he was cheered as such in the streets until the announcement was made that he would reign as George VI. http://www.ukans.edu/~medieval/melcher/matthias/t115/0097.html Apr 07 03, 11:42 PM
