    Her son the earl of Harewood was a famous opera critic and administrator and I once hear him interviewed on the radio when he talked about his experiences as a soldier during World War Two. When he was demobilized following the war's end he had to be counselled by the army chaplain to make sure he could fit back into normal life and the counsellor asked if he knew anyone back in London to which modestly he replied that he had an uncle who lived in central London.

    King George V and Kaiser Wilhelm II did not share the same family name. The Kaiser was a Hohenzollern. George V was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, later Windsor. Get your facts right. Princess Mary was married off to a man nearly old enough to be her father. He was an old grouch. The only thing in its favour was the money. She deserved so much better. It was not a love match. There was never any passion. Mary produced two sons, who were frightened of their grandfather and much older father. As they were only the sons of a peer they were not royal. Letters Patent King George V 1917 prevented that. They were merely older aristocratc cousins of the younger more senior York Princesses. Their Gloucester and Kent royal cousins were also more senior in the line of succession.

    1:14 "it is evident that he loved them..." Really? It wasn't evident to THEM. When Lord Mountbatten, who was Prince Edward's (later Edward VIII and even later Prince Edward again) best friend's father died, Edward said (after seeing the grief his father's death caused him) said "I envy you because if my father died, I would be glad." He verbally abused and browbeat all of them that's why they turned out so effed up Edward--romping with other mens' wives, manorexia, chain smoker. Bertie--stuttering chain smoker. George--bisexual, drug addict, illegitimate babies (one of whom married Jackie Kennedy's sister).

    Both King George and Queen Mary may have loved their children but, unfortunately, the children did NOT get the message! They were cold parents and the King was verbally and emotionally abusive to the point that most people were scared to death of the public “dressing-down “ they received by him. Albert, being the “spare” was abused by his nanny and developed a stutter, which the King only made worse.
    Please stop the “whitewashing “ of what has been proven true trough documentation.
