Not a chance in hell. The monarchy had about as much real power in England then as it does today. In fact George VI hated Churchill and had Nazi sympathies himself. That's why Hess was addressing the letter he carried to Scotland to him and not to a government official.

It changed nothing.

you're probably right but compare George's doing of nothing to Edwards working with the nazis thru back channels during the war, and Hitler was going to reinstate him as king if they won. And the royal family still has power, the politicians in UK are just for show, of course Rothschild tells the royal family what to do, but Edward got forced out partly because he wouldn't go along with it.
