Operation Sea-lion

Britain's ex-king inspecting a Nazi guard of honour at Hitler's villa in Bavaria in 1938. The Nazis judged that he was sympathetic to their aims and could play a useful part in their plans for the UK. The British packed him off to the Bahamas for the duration.

There was a German plot to kidnap the Duke from his Portuguese holiday home in 1940 that was only just averted, with the Duke being appointed to Governor General of the Bahamas and leaving Portugal days before the attempt.
