What an amazing documentary, i love English history and Londons one of my favourite cities. My mother's sister was ill in hospital in London as a baby and King Edward visited the hospital and before he started his rounds he asked the nurse for a piece of string and took his wedding ring off and tied it on her crib to play with and another little story my grandfather was a tiler and worked for Mintons the tile company and he was sent to tile Lilly Langtry's bathroom in black and white tiles I'm not sure which residence that was, sadly I never got to meet any of my grandparents i would love to have spoken to him about a lot of things, eventually a group of labourers were sent out to SA from Mintons and he was part of a group that did the black and white tiling in the Jhb city hall, thanks for such an interesting documentary.

With everything we know about her now thanks to the internet and books. If she would have given him some responsibility he might not have been that person that she despised. A wealthy man who's all doors were open to him and given no purpose she actually created in him what it was she didn't like about him. It sounds like Queen Victoria was a very selfish person ended think the Victorian air is supposed to be a role model when she even stayed away from her people and made her children's lives miserable. It's pretty amazing if you think about it that King Edward the seventh turned out to be such a good and different King then his mother. One bit of information I personally have not been able to find and I'm curious about. With George the fifth saying I was afraid of my father and I'm going to make damn sure my children are afraid of me. Especially its history makes it sound like Edward the seventh did was party and had mistresses so it doesn't seem he was around the children very often. I know times are different but everytime I read how young children were sent to work even his children at 12+ 9 going away to work it makes my heart break.

@@pamelameadows9717 I am impressed by your post. Surely Queen Victoria was behaving in a personally selfish manner by depriving her son of any significant role in governance once he showed more than enough talent to be helpful. It seemed as though she was perpetually punishing him for the early death of Albert, and connected his death to Edward's first affair with Nellie Clifton. As for George the Fifth however I am surprised to hear that he said that. I always thought that he and Edward had a very warm relationship, almost like siblings rather than a traditional father and son. If you've found anyting further about George's "fear" of Edward I love to know the sources etc.

However what you said about them being best friends is true he also said that. After reading back what I wrote I'm surprised you can make sense of it. My lack of punctuation can make it all string together. No one expected Edward VII to be a good King. Then he turned out to be one of the best. I totally agree with you I think Queen Victoria continue to resent Edward VII. I really enjoyed reading your comment. I've always found the British royal family to be interesting. Especially when history repeats itself. Personally especially what's going on in the 21st century I don't think I'd want to live that life. At the very least not want to be king or queen.

The only reason he turned into a philanderer, is because his mother never gave him responsibilities. She was a control freak. She would hardly let Prince Albert help with Queen duties.

@@marilynwoolford-chandler1161 R.I. stands for Rex of Regina Imperorator or Imperatrix. It was granted to Queen Victoria by the Government of Benjamin Disraeli in 1876 when she became Empress of India. The Queen mentions it in her Journal when she says she took pride in signing a document for the first time R.I. Thereafter, all the Sovereigns (who happened to be male) signed themselves R.I. Rex Imperator. This continued until 1947 when India gained independence. So the last Sovereign and Consort who signed themselves R.I. were King George VI and His Consort Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother). An interesting fact that shortly before midnight on 14th August 1947 as India became Independent at Midnight. His Majesty King George bestowed the Order of the Star of India onto his two daughters Their Royal Highnesses Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. The Insignia was a particularly beautiful brooch of diamonds and other precious stones. I hope you found that interesting.

As to the proposed question, I think it’s possible to be both. He was a notable philanderer and some of the ‘parties’ he attended in the country, when the husbands of his female entertainers were away, certainly resulted in unwanted pregnancies and divorces upon their husbands return, leaving these once privileged women thrown unceremoniously out of their homes. There’s an excellent documentary on the plight of some of these very women - obviously they weren’t all involved with Edward, but with his many friends who accompanied him and many pregnancies were covered-up by the women concerned ensuring relations took place with their husbands immediately upon their return, so if pregnancy occurred it would be assumed that the husband was indeed the father… As for his diplomacy throughout Europe, there’s no doubt that he helped smooth the way for the British government to maintain relations between themselves and France, Russia, India and Germany before the Kaiser died leaving his son to takeover. He was extremely popular and had an excellent sense of humour and gentleness about him that certainly drew people in.

New historical information (actually it is old, but well hidden so far) is being disclosed nowadays by academics in several European countries and the USA. It is quite likely that history will be re-written, as it was shaped, as always, by the winners of the wars. Edward VII. did what he could to support the British Empire by establishing diplomatic partnerships with countries that served this aim. And Germany as the eternal competitor was certainly not desired as an ally. Quite the opposite. Edward as the King was part of the powerful political association, but by far not the most important one. So focusing on men like Lloyd George, Churchill, Edward Grey, Alfred Milner etc. gives us much deeper insight in the politics of this time. Edward was an interesting character though, as we read. Charming and eloquent in several languages, but a catastrophe as a son, a student and especially as a husband.

I've been subscribed to The People Profiles almost since its inception. The content was good then, but over the last two years or so, it has become very excellent indeed. That having been said, there's a notable absence (or near-absence) of profiles of important artists, composers, writers, filmmakers and such, many of which tower above figures such as Edward VII. Some of these people also lived interesting lives, so there's little reason for them not to be profiled here. For example, several that immediately come to mind and who would fit the channel's target audience include Bernart de Ventadorn, Dante Alighieri, Guillaume de Machaut, Carlo Gesualdo, Rembrandt, Marquis de Sade, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Eadweard Muybridge, Wassily Kandinsky, Aleister Crowley, Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, Franz Kafka, Pablo Neruda, Dmitri Shostakovich, Orson Welles, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Yukio Mishima...

I feel that Edward VII had a lot of unfilled potential. In hind-site, he was correct in not supporting the invasion of Denmark by Germany, and since he married Alex as a political alliance some thought should have been put into his position. Queen Vic was strict, authoritarian and imposed a harsh regime on a boy, who might have had ADHD in today’s world and certainly had a very gregarious nature.

History repeated in 2023. The Monarchy has once again, been thrown into doubt. A long reigning loved Queen, now dead. A Prince with personal indiscretions publicly known, now King. How history does repeat itself. 👑

I love how queen victoria judged the fitness of anyone else for the throne yet she herself wasn't exactly qualified either. I don't consider birth order a qualification for leadership of any sort. Her husband did most of the work while he was alive.

Hello Friends, really liked this one. I'm not a royalist but I do love issues the Royals put in to the spotlight. Now Queen consort Camilla has stuck up for both William and Harry. Camilla also stuck up for Diana that Charles should have stayed at the hospital with Diana while William was there for a golf club accident. She's not the horrible person people make her out to be.

Bertie turned out to be a pretty good king in spite of his undisciplined character; had he been circumspect, I think he could have been a great ruler. Sadly, now Alice Kepel’s descendent has slept her way to the very top in defiance of the morals Queen Victoria, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth held dear. The first born sons from several generations have been a disappointment to their parents. Perhaps this will end with William when he ascends the throne.

They, the Royals, are born into something different. Its not just a family but a business. No one has a choice in what job they want or what schools they want to attend. All this is planned out before their birth. That isnt a life for everyone. But being born into it does make it harder to understand why 'the don't haves" see it as excessive.

His childhood must have been difficult. He seems quite normal according to this documentary. His Queen was good for him. He seems to have had an ability for diplomacy. He benefited from his travel as a young man. I think he was a good king, and a normal man.
