Did Edward VIII conspire with Winston Churchill to set up a Royalist-Fascist government?

by inquisitive_idgit

I remembered that during Edward's Abdication Crisis, there were "rumors" that Edward might try to overthrow the Baldwin government and install Churchill instead. That always sounded far-fetched until I saw him teaching his family the fascist salute. Now it doesn't sound so crazy.

What's the truth?
