George VI @king-george-vi - Tumblr Blog

My English noble cousins tell me that G VI was never in good health; true?

George had some health issues, including arteriosclerosis and Buerger's disease, that is of course not counting the stress of the war and his smoking which resulted in lung cancer. He also suffered an arterial blockage in his right leg.

And of course, there’s his famous stutter. But when he was younger, he seemed to be healthy. His health declined after he began getting older and things grew worse when on the throne.
