Interesting and never heard of this before but could have made for a big change in British politics and leadership. Assuming Eden would have taken over as the new PM but not sure how different he would have been as a leader during the war. He wouldn't have had the same prestige as Churchill had built up after 1940 but might have had wiser leadership so who knows?

After 1942 the need for the United Kingdom to surrender to the Axis was lesser than, let’s say in 1940 I assume.

Well definitely no surrender as both the USSR and US were in the war but it would have drastically changed the political situation inside the UK and in terms of its relations with the US, the commonwealth and assorted other states.

Better ore worse with Eden in charge.

Who knows? He won't have the same influence that Churchill had or the eloquence I suspect but might have somewhat better judgement, which tended to be Winston's weak point. Not sure how he would fare with Roosevelt or Stalin. As a more moderate leader he might even win the post war election?

"Oh so your not partly Jewish because your mother had an affair with her uncle and he's your father rather than her Jewish husband. That's OK then." Shows how twisted Nazi [and other] racial moronacy is.

Nazis made their own rules when it worked for them.

Interesting, especially that last bit. I had heard about the elderly king returning to the country after the Taliban were expelled but not that it was the US that blocked the idea of a return to the monarchy. Which may well have been an error in hindsight.
