Final answer:

King Edward VIII relinquished his title to marry Wallis Simpson.

Step-by-step explanation:

The man who gave a speech where he relinquished his title to marry the woman he wanted is King Edward VIII. He abdicated the throne in 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson, an American socialite, as she was divorced twice and not deemed suitable to be a queen consort. This event is known as the abdication crisis in British history.
