He was not born with the expectation of inheriting the crown and he did not want it. All he wanted was the quiet life of an English country gentleman. But when duty summoned him, he did not shrink from his responsibility to his country and people even during the years of mortal danger to Britain. A truly great King. Memory eternal!

My mother and father were living in London at this time . The nation knew the king was ill , his death was still a a great sadness to the world . As the commentator says , sixteen years in which the world changed and suffered as never before . And the duty of a man who was never expecting to be king was unwavering. He set a standard.

Oh yes and while there is so much poverty the Royals live off the tax payers. Yes a lot of them have their own properties and farms but the tax payers pay for everything that happens in the palace, castle including the clothes they wear.

[@dwaynedonald2939]

Hello Cynthia

[@massabielle2821]

As much as George did not want the crown, he was the epitome of elegance, class, and knowledge of responsibility to his beloved country. Both he, and the Queen Mother, were amazing examples of loyalty, and royalty; seeing how she insisted on staying in England during the war, spoke volumes of her love and dedication to her family and her country. These are the real reasons that Edward was never to sit as King, he lacked the expectations and the responsibility to the people. He fell far, far below the standards of loyalty and dedication. As for Queen Elizabeth II? Exquisite! Long live the Queen! 💐👸🏼

[@massabielle2821]

@@hollydenman2929 : Good question, but I do not believe they are anywhere near each other. Edward was a spoiled dandy, whereas Harry is the result of having had his mother horribly taken away, at such a young/vulnerable age, then saddled with an emotionally distant father who was left to raise him, with enough anger in him after witnessing what his fathers betrayal of his mother, did to her. It seems that rather than Harry and Edward be alike, both Wallis and Meghan seem to have been cut from the same cloth; both women used their “talent” to capture their target.

2:56 2. ve 3. kralın arasında gorulen kısı Celal Bayar... Kralıyet aılesının hemen arkasında yuruyor. Davetlı lıstesıne baktım da Elızabethın cenazesıne katılacak gruptan cok daha kucuk bir grup.

[@nickszell6069]

[@latishiabedwards1423]
