The Household of Edward VIII supported Edward VIII (1894-1972) during his eleven-month reign as monarch in 1936 (which lasted from his accession in January until his abdication in December). Previously, he had maintained a smaller Household as Prince of Wales (1910-1936).
The Royal Households of the United Kingdom consist of royal officials, office-holders and staff; members of the Royal Family who undertake public duties each have their own (separate or joint) Households.
Household of the Prince of Wales (1910-1936)
