Book excerpt: The six children of George V (1865-1936) and Mary of Teck (1867-1953) all lived to maturity except the youngest, Prince John. The eldest son, David (1894-1972), became King Edward VIII and ruled for less than a year when he abdicated the throne to marry Mrs. Simpson, an American divorcee. The royal crisis caused by the abdication of the formally popular king caused a rift within the royal family that never really healed. David's younger brother, Albert (1895-1952), was crowned King George VI and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (1900- ), Duchess of York, became the Queen Consort. George VI was known as a hard-working, concientious king. Their two daughters were Princess Margaret (1930- ) and her elder sister, Elizabeth (1926- ). In 1947 Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten (1921- ), Duke of Edinburgh. In 1952 George VI died and his daughter, Elizabeth was crowned as Elizabeth I of the House of Windsor, Queen of England.

Book excerpt: In Britain the phrase ‘an heir and a spare’ refers to the imperative for members of the royal family to provide both an heir to take on their title and a spare. In this equation King George VI was ‘the spare’, the second son of King George V and Mary, and never expected to sit on the throne. King George VI, or Albert as he was known prior to his kingship, had a career in the Royal Navy and served during the First World War before King Edward VIII’s decision to abdicate his throne. Determined to restore the British Royal Family in the eyes of the people, King George VI played a pivotal role in the victory of the allied nations in the Second World War. Inside you will read about... ✓ Early Years ✓ Prince Albert in the Navy ✓ The Great War ✓ The Reign and Abdication of King Edward VIII ✓ Becoming King George VI ✓ The Second World War ✓ Post-War Years And much more! King George VI ruled long enough to oversee the tumultuous post-war years in Britain, the collapse of the British Empire and the emergence of the Commonwealth. Succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth at just 55 years old, King George VI had a deep sense of honor and duty and was completely dedicated to his turbulent role as King.

Download or read book Tudors to Windsors written by and published by National Portrait Gallery. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London, embraces over 500 years of British history, more than 60,000 sitters and explores ideas of social change, power and influence. Arguably as powerful and influential as any individual are the heads of state and empire, whose portraits are among the most popular in the Gallery_s Collection. For the exhibition that accompanies this book, the portraits of kings, queens, statesmen and stateswomen featured will go on tour for the first time, providing international audiences with the opportunity to encounter these famous historical and contemporary personalities face to face. The publication traces major events in British history and examines the ways in which royal portraiture has reflected individual sitters_ personalities and wider social, cultural and historical change. Works are arranged chronologically in sections, each of which is prefaced by an introductory text and timeline providing context to the period in question. Particularly significant portraits from each period are ac companied by extended captions that provide key information on the sitter and the artist. Tudors to Windsors also considers how each dynasty has been perceived and interpreted subsequently, with reference to popular culture and contemporary sources. A number of features on topics such as Royal Favourites, Royal Weddings, Satire, Royals at War, and Royal Fashion and Jewellery provide insights into particular aspects of royal portraiture and trends within the genre. The publication includes a foreword by the Gallery_s Director, a fully illustrated introductory essay discussing royal patronage and key artists in royal portraiture, and an essay by David Cannadine on the historical role of the monarchy in Britain.
