George V, born on June 3, 1865, was the second son of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark. Initially not destined for the throne, he pursued a naval career until his elder brother’s death in 1892 placed him directly in line.
Ascending the throne in 1910, he became King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India. His reign saw significant events, including World War I, which led to a rebranding of the royal house to Windsor to counter anti-German sentiment.
Known for his dedication and sense of duty, George V played a stabilizing role during tumultuous times, including the Irish War of Independence and the first Labour government. He was a traditional monarch who valued the continuity and stability of the monarchy. George V passed away on January 20, 1936, succeeded by his son, Edward VIII.
