Is there any evidence of Edward VIII trying to influence the UK Government?

score:2

According to the wikipedia article at least, it does seem that there were some political objections to King Edward, but from what I've read and heard, the main reason was the marriage issue. While Edward's political statements and leanings might have made him less popular, without the marriage issue, he would not have been forced to abdicate. He definitely did not take any action (apart from making some political statements) to interfere in the government.
