GEORGE VI

GEORGE VI

1895-1952

Father of Queen Elizabeth II

            George VI (Albert George) was born at York Cottage, Norfolk, England, during the reign of his great-grandmother Queen Victoria, his father was fourth in line to the throne. George had a stammer, was left handed (was forced to write with his right hand), and had knock knees. George married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 at Westminster Abbey and they had two children, Elizabeth and Margaret. He disliked public speaking and started seeing Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist. He opened Parliament House in Canberra, Australia during a tour in 1927.

            His father George V died in 1936 and his brother became King Edward VIII, however; Edward was in love with an American divorcee Wallis Simpson who he wasn’t permitted to marry so he abdicated the crown and it went to his brother.

            George VI became King of England in 1936 and had his coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1937. In 1939, the couple toured Canada and the US, and stayed with Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House and his private estate, Hyde Park, New York.

            In 1939 Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, George VI remained in London, despite the bombing raids. The couple were nearly killed when two bombs exploded in a courtyard at Buckingham Place. In 1942, his brother, Prince George, Duke of Kent, died aged 39 during active service.

            The king suffered from poor health due to heavy smoking and developing lung cancer amongst other health problems. His heir, Elizabeth took on more royal duties. In 1952, George, aged 56, went to London Airport to say goodbye to Elizabeth who was going to tour Australia via Kenya. On 6 February, he was found dead in his bed at Sandringham House, Norfolk from coronary thrombosis.

This weekend is the 86th anniversary of when King Edward VIII signed his Instrument of Abdication so he could marry Wallis Simpson after being told by the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin that she would never be accepted by the people of England as Queen given that she was a twice divorced American woman thus making him His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor and her the Duchess of Windsor despite the fact his brother the now King George VI refused to grant her the title Her Royal Highness. With her death on September 8th, Queen Elizabeth II was the last person alive who had any memory of that historical event which changed her life forever as a 10 year girl because she went from being Princess Elizabeth of York to being Princess Elizabeth, heiress presumptive and first in line to the throne upon the accession of her father to the throne. In hindsight, we should thank Wallis Simpson for Edward’s abdication because Elizabeth probably would have never gone on to have her 70 year long reign if he hadn’t abdicated. #ukroyals #britishroyalfamily #wallissimpson #wallissimpsonduchessofwindsor #kingedwardviii #edwardviii #edwardviiidukeofwindsor #dukeandduchessofwindsor #kinggeorgevi #abdicationofkingedwardviii #georgevi #princesselizabethofyork #dukeofyork #elizabethii #queenelizabethii #elizabethalexandramary #elizabethalexandramarywindsor https://www.instagram.com/p/CmBTVBuuqAi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi! Chiming in about what Camilla's title would be after William becomes king. It will be HM Queen Camilla. Catherine's title will be HM The Queen. When Georgevis king and Catherine still alive then she becomes HM Queen Catherine. No HM the King mother or sth similar. HM The Queen Mother was invented to avoid confusion as both mother and daughter had the same name.

I like the way you put that...

Thank you for putting your knowledge in :)

My Husband and I: The Inside Story of 70 Years of the Royal Marriage by Ingrid Seward #HouseofWindsor #BookReview #AudiobookReview

They were married for more than 70 years. #IngridSeward, royal biographer, takes a closer look at #QueenElizabeth and #PrincePhilip relationship. #Dukeofedinburgh #princesselizabeth #GeorgeVI #Queenmother #Bookreview #Simonandschuster #Audiobookreview

When a young Princess Elizabeth met and fell in love with the dashing Naval Lieutenant Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, it wasn’t without its problems. The romance between the sailor prince and the young princess brought a splash of colour to a nation still in the grip of post-war austerity. When they married in Westminster Abbey in November 1947, there were 3000 guests, including six kings…

"Nós quatro", dizia o rei George VI quando se referia à sua esposa, suas filhas e a si próprio, reforçando seu sentimento de unidade. Ao longo de seus 96 anos, a rainha Elizabeth II passou por perdas muito difíceis. Começando por seu avô, o rei George V, que ela carinhosamente apelidava de “vovô Inglaterra” e que foi uma figura muito importante na sua infância. Em seguida, seu pai, que assumiu o fardo da Coroa após a abdicação do irmão, Edward VIII, em 1936, num dos momentos mais turbulentos do século XX, representado pela Segunda Guerra Mundial. O conflitou sugou muito das forças do pai da soberana, que faleceu aos 56 anos em 1952, passando o dever para sua filha de 25 anos.

Naquele momento, Elizabeth II tinha pilares poderosos nos quais podia confiar, como sua mãe, a rainha Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, e sua avó, a rainha Mary de Teck. Essas duas mulheres formaram um poderoso matriarcado que guiou os passos da jovem monarca nos primeiros anos de seu reinado. Outros dois alicerces com quem ela contava eram sua irmã, a princesa Margaret, e principalmente seu marido, o príncipe Philip. Como condutor para seus deveres constitucionais, ela tinha ninguém menos que Winston Churchill, seu primeiro Premiê, que lhe instruiu nas suas obrigações como soberana.

A rainha Elizabeth sofreu a dor da perda de todos estes entes queridos, permanecendo firme e forte não apenas por si, mas também por sua família e pela instituição que ela carregava nas costas. Hoje, Lilibet, ou Betinha, como carinhosamente a chamamos, regressou para junto daqueles que ela tanto amou. A família original de quatro membros (“nós quatro”, como gostava de dizer o rei), chegou ao fim. Com a mesma resiliência demonstrada em 70 anos desde que ascendeu ao trono, a rainha aguardou pacientemente pelo momento em que finalmente pôde se reunir aos seus pais e irmã

"The crown is a heavy burden. To bear it, you must have the right person at your side." This quote perfectly describes King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's marriage because she was definitely the right person.
