The Duke of Windsor in 1970

... that Edward VIII wanted to be an "up-to-date" king? Source: "Discussing the period from January 20, 1936, to December 10 1936 when he abdicated as King Edward VII the Duke said he had wanted to be not so much a reforming king as an up-to-date king" ('Clash with the Establishment was inevitable', [1], 27 January 2021, The Times, David Wilsworth, 14 January 1970, pg 10)

article is new enough and long enough, reasonably well written and cited to reliable sources. Hook is reasonably interesting and has been verified by provided source. I would suggest the hook fact be tweaked in the article because the source doesn't really say Edward himself used the words "up-to-date" and the article gives the impression he does, but that's a relatively minor detail. There is no indication of copyvio (earwigs flags two articles because of attributed quotes and the nature of the article is that it requires quotes). This is good to go.
