up in the Scottish Highlands, where he is staying at the Castle of Mey, and during his time away the monarch marked a special milestone.harles is no longer the shortest-serving British monarch
having surpassed King Edward VIII, his uncle. Edward abdicated from the throne less than a year into his reign in order to. At the time, it was believed that a woman who had been divorced would be unacceptable as a Queen Consort, and likewise Edward's plans to marry her would have conflicted with his role as head of the Church of England.
His abdication, however, eventually led to Charles' ascension to the throne, as without any heirs the next King was Charles' grandfather, George VI.Although Charles is no longer the shortest-reigning British monarch, he has long surpassed several monarchs who only ruled over England, with Lady Jane Grey's disputed claim to the throne only lasting for nine days. Sweyn Forkbeard, who was also the King of Denmark, only ruled for 40 days before his death.
