GEORGE VI
GEORGE VI
1895-1952
Father of Queen Elizabeth II
George VI (Albert George) was born at York Cottage, Norfolk, England, during the reign of his great-grandmother Queen Victoria, his father was fourth in line to the throne. George had a stammer, was left handed (was forced to write with his right hand), and had knock knees. George married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923 at Westminster Abbey and they had two children, Elizabeth and Margaret. He disliked public speaking and started seeing Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist. He opened Parliament House in Canberra, Australia during a tour in 1927.
His father George V died in 1936 and his brother became King Edward VIII, however; Edward was in love with an American divorcee Wallis Simpson who he wasn’t permitted to marry so he abdicated the crown and it went to his brother.
George VI became King of England in 1936 and had his coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1937. In 1939, the couple toured Canada and the US, and stayed with Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House and his private estate, Hyde Park, New York.
In 1939 Britain declared war on Nazi Germany, George VI remained in London, despite the bombing raids. The couple were nearly killed when two bombs exploded in a courtyard at Buckingham Place. In 1942, his brother, Prince George, Duke of Kent, died aged 39 during active service.
The king suffered from poor health due to heavy smoking and developing lung cancer amongst other health problems. His heir, Elizabeth took on more royal duties. In 1952, George, aged 56, went to London Airport to say goodbye to Elizabeth who was going to tour Australia via Kenya. On 6 February, he was found dead in his bed at Sandringham House, Norfolk from coronary thrombosis.

On This Day In Royal History . 26 April 1923 . The wedding of Prince Albert, Duke of York, & Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon took place on 26 April 1923 at Westminster Abbey. The couple were later known as King George VI & Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. . Wedding dress; . Elizabeth’s wedding dress was made from deep ivory chiffon moire, embroidered with pearls & a silver thread. It was intended to match the traditional Flanders lace provided for the train by Queen Mary. Elizabeth’s dress, which was in the fashion of the early 1920s, was designed by Madame Handley-Seymour, dressmaker to Queen Mary. Its design was reportedly based on a dress created by Jeanne Lanvin & was “suggestive of a medieval Italian gown”. Elizabeth chose not to wear a tiara, & instead a chaplet of leaves secured the veil. . A strip of Brussels lace, inserted in the dress, was a Strathmore family heirloom. A female ancestor of the bride wore it to a grand ball for “Bonnie Prince Charlie”, Charles Edward Stuart. . The silver leaf girdle had a trail of spring green tulle, trailing to the ground; silver & rose thistle fastened it. According to an era news article: “In the trimming the bride has defied all old superstitions about the unluckiness of green.” Elizabeth wore “an orange blossom wreath”, which featured “white roses of York”. The dress had two trains: “one fastened at the hips, the other floating from the shoulders”. . Unlike more recent dresses, details of this one were publicly revealed in advance of the wedding day. However, the dress was worked on until the last possible opportunity: the day before the wedding, Elizabeth divided her time between the wedding rehearsal & her dressmakers. . . . #GeorgeVI #KingGeorgeVI #Theking #TheQueen #kingandqueen #QueenElizabeth #Queenmother #Queenmum #LadyElizabeth #princealbert #dukeofyork #duchessofyork #DukeandDuchess #WestminsterAbbey #HouseofWindsor #RoyalFamily #BritishMonarchy #Monarchy #RoyalHistory #Royalty #BowesLyon #RoyalWedding #Wedding #weddingdayphotos #weddingphotography #vintagephotography #OnThisDayInHistory #thisdayinhistory #onthisday #d26apr (at Westminster Abbey) https://www.instagram.com/p/COIsERaMVSB/?igshid=1kr6r9u3pqw5c
