However, fate would intervene and this strict disciplinarian and devoted husband, would go from a career in the navy, to becoming a father figure of the nation, leading Britain into the 20th century where the world would rapidly change.
He would also change the name of the British royal family. In our latest blog of “The House of Windsor” series, we take a look at the life of George V.
Edward VII was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India for just over nine years, and in that time, he proved to be a popular and cordial king. But Edward was not always in favour, particularly with his parents.
In the third blog in our “House of Windsor” series, we take a look at the life of Queen Victoria’s eldest son, Edward VII.
Built by William the Conqueror, Windsor Castle has been a continuously inhabited royal residence for over one thousand years.
The British royal family named themselves after this wonderful old building, and in our new blog series looking at the monarchs associated with the House of Windsor, we begin with Queen Victoria.
