As reported by The Mirror, the chance came about in 1994 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union when new countries were established in Eastern Europe.
When Estonia was formed, a political party named The Independent Royalist Party of Estonia secured eight seats in the country’s parliament in the country’s first elections post the USSR collapse.
This Independent Royalist Party of Estonia wanted the country to become a monarchy; however, they needed someone to be the King.
According to the Sunday Telegraph at the time, the party leader contacted the British Royal Family to ask whether Edward would become their monarch.

It is believed that in the letter making the request, they said Edward was “perfect” for such a role.
However, Buckingham Palace reportedly rejected the request, and Edward did not become a King. It is not known what Edward’s feelings were regarding the request.
This is likely to be the case for many years to come.
