It wls inevitable that flle arrival of a second son to the prim, mg Princess of Wales at Marlborough 3911M. Ifllldon, on the third of June. 18H. should not arouse the IMO national lejolclngs as the “m!!! of the flrsthad done, two 7°11’! WWWIIIIY- Nevertheless the event caused great satisfaction to tho youus Pfllunte, Queen Victoria, and to all who were anxious that the Succession to the ‘Ihronc should be odoouately secured. From the first. the Prince of Wales made up his mind that his two sons should not endure the strict and unhappy llilhflhglng that he himself had had at the hands of his father, the Prince Consort, and his mother, ma, Queen. ,

T° ‘mun W! idol-l. however, the

lure Kins mwsm vrl found t t he had a difficult nut to crack, in the determined views and ligld, "Kai outlook of his mother. The conflict of wills and the great, m. trust in tem ‘“ between Queen Victoria and her eldest eon is now a matter m’ higtory, The fact was that her_ marriage to Prince Albert of Ssxe-Colvurg-Gotha had completely altered the whole char. acter of the Queen. It ls being mg. ullly rovoo-‘cd thnoush Memoirs and letters that she was by no means in her girlhood and young W . the strict. severe wo- man she afterwards became when a wife. She had inherited much of the lluy. “bohemian" spirit of the R-osency Pei-led and loved dancing and other amusements. It was the Prince Consort who caused her to become "Victorian" in tin sense that we now associate with the term. But feelings or thoughts which she suppressed or controlled in her-Boll’. the great Queen was unable to avoid transmitting to hel- _ eldest son.

King Edward VII. when a young married man, believed in living a full and rounded life. and with his mflsnetio and beautiful Danish Princess Alexandra he had made his London home a gay and glit- tering social centre. Maribel-rush HOUBe and Lie “set” soon began to be obnoxious to the Queen, anc‘ it reveals much when it is I€O‘1"f‘d that the first dinner visit of Her Majesty to her married son's homo. did not take place until he celebrat- ed his Silver Wedflm-twerlty- five years after he had first cmssei its threshold with his lovely bride. But if the Queen did not approve 0f the Prince's life or of most of his friends, she had a genuine 11k-

~ ing and admiration for the ‘Princess

of Wales, and as a grandmother. the Reigning Sovereign‘ left nothing to be desired. Her two grandsons filled the Queen with pride and de~ light, and with hel- usual determin- ation and thoroughness she begon making plans at once, for their fut- ure. It is said that she even con- templated taking them away from Marlborough House and bsinglng them up according to the German pattern of her recently deceased and adored husband. To this course, however. her son and his wife were resolutely opposed. The inference that he was not considered a proc- er father for his sons, enrsge" the Prince of Wales, although he bare it with the calmness and forbear- ancs that he tried so hard to prac- tise when his mother's real attitude to him was made manifest. From infancy, Prince George, Frederick, Ernest. Albert (to give the pmeent K g his baptismal names) receiv-

the same loving parental care

the and attention as did his elder and

more important brother, Prince Al- bert Victor. The nursery at Mal-l- borough House and that at Sand- -‘ gham House were in advance of the period as regards taste and free- dom, and here the future George V and his brother passed some of their hIIDDiCSI. days.

At regular intervals they were taken to see their august grerld- mother and lt is a fact that to this day, the King has never lost a cer- tain mellng of awe for‘Queell Vic- terla. Kind and gracious as she was, she could not fol-get she was a Queen as well as a. grandmother. She exacted due respect to her rank from her granfsons and was in the habit of putting searching questions to them to find out their general knowledge. and particulars of their home-life. When at the age of six and a half. Prince George and his brother were put under the "tutmshlp of tbwRAv. John Neale Dalton. then curate of Bandrlng- ham, the step did not at first meet with the approval of the Queen. Ibr a curate to be tutor to her im- portant grandsons. hazdiy seemed fitting, but Mr. Demo's rem and simplicity of manner, soon won her confidence and regard. ‘rile memory of is first tutor is a very happy one fol- the King. and he has never forgotten the man who did lo much to mould his child- hoodand youth.

The Prince of wales and especial- ly the Princess were insistent that cramming of any kind was never to be indulged in by the two Royal children. Nevertheless, Ml‘. Dalton succeeded in instilling the founde- ticn of good behaviour and a wide education. He was certainly a little mortified when Prince George. in answer to a question, once told him that Napoleon surrendered himself

. m e '- e Duke's uutlmclv death in 1892 might never have happened had he “stuck to the sea" as he so fervent- ly wanted to do.

What was denied his cider brother ‘was granted to Prlnqa George and for the next fifteen years he was destined to live mainly on board ships of the Elect. This pe:lod of his life was undoubtedly the hap- piest time in the King's life. The years of his boyhood and young manhood were spent afloat and it has left a mark which never has been and nhver can be ersdlcatzd.

When His Majesty- was servlns in the Navy, some local Mayor went aboard the ship and was shown round. He expressed an intense de- sire for just one word. with "His Royal Tghness." as he kept putting lt. Just as he was about to leave the ship. a cable was being drawn in. and the young Prince was in charge of the Job. The Mayor stumbled over the rope and the men had to pause. “I wish you would get out of the damned way," cam‘ the polite voice of the Prince, and His worship stood nearly petrified. The cfllcer who was showing him round the vessel touched him on the arm and said:

"Come away; you have had your wish. His Royal Highness has spoken to-you; what more dc you want?’

His Majesty has a vivid memory of an lnrldencwhlch once happen- ed ln the west Indies when he was attached to HALE. "Crlndn." He was only eighteen and after a ilttlc chaff from his two companions h~ agreed to have his fortune told by a very aged native soothsayer slt- ting outside of a hut. The old man gripped the Prince by the hand and looked long and earnestly at the smart naval youth in front of him. Then without a wold he rose. lift- lcd both hands aloft and brought them slowly down on the top of the Prince's heed. The "client" looked ‘bewildered and then he laughed when one of his friends cried out: "He's crowning you King of the Island! You'll have w give him a sovereign new." This was given, but the oracle would not explain -,his action by one word. One of the ‘observers of the incident was prea- cnt at the Coronation of King George at Westminster Abbey in

N‘; ed the "Sailor

Although absorbed 1n his naval M1961‘. the King never neglected any opportunity of extending his general know dsc. and when on leave and on olidays at home, he k011i in touch with the affairs u the day. As he approached man- hood he became s special favorite of Queen Victoria, who saw in her "”' . level-headed sailor-grand- son many of the traits of he: dead h ‘ ‘ The l lion, however. be- tween his father and his grand- mother, which, however much it might be concealed from the public, could not escape the notice of those behind the scenes, always distress- Prince." 101cm was much in the social life of his father that never really appeekad to him. His wide travels and contacts with all kinds of men, had made Prince George, young as he was then. a shrewd Judge of character. and there were o. few members of the Marlborough House "set" for whom he found it hard to hide his dislike. But the gay and cheery temperaments of his parents were always a. tonic to him when at home, and the long letters he received from them while at

sea were '_, d. Thesz, by the way, are still preserved at Sandrlngham.

Then in 1892 came the sudden and unexpected death of the Duke of Clarence-an event whl-h brulht a momultous change into King George's life. It ls a fascinating if rather frultles speculatl u. to won- der what the course of events in Britain would have been, had the Duke of Clarence been spared to ascend the Throne. There were considerable differences of charac- ter and temperament between the two brothers. although they were always inseparable "chums," but the Duke undoubtedly resembled father much more closely than his younger brother. During the Ulster crisis 021912-1914 a die hard ve‘er- an Brigadier-General roundly de- clared in Mess one night in Ire- land that "had the good old Duke of Clarence been on the Throne, there would have been no pander- ing to Home Rulers an" Radicals." With his innate modesty, the King himself firmly believes that h dead brother would have made a mom ideal Sovereign than he, him- self, has done, and it was this feeling which mainly caused the King to dread his Accession years before it took place. Happily, events have proved how ill-foundod Majesty's doubts of himself were, and the success of his reign ls rather strikin! D100! that it is not essential to be heir-presumptive. to a crown. to wear it with " “ “F and grace. A Canadian politician who had a chat with the King, when, as Prince of Wales, he was in Quebec in 1908. exerted that. the Royal visitor said to him:

"I never expected to be Prince of Wales, and what ls more, I never wanted to be."

Whether this was said or not, it cannot be denied that it was not with nay great enthusiasm that the King entered in 1882 into that wider and more responsible sphere of life which was now his destiny. No timn was lost in emphasising his new importance and status. He was created Duke of Cornwall and York, Earl of Invemess and B8..OI1 Cul- loden (titles now held by his own second son) shortly after his broth- er's death and the following year his marriage to Princess Mary of Teck was made the occasion for

The hitherto obscure "Sailor Prince" was now indeed 1n the limo light, but the fact caused him no guest pride l‘- Joy. But he under- stood hla fat car's anxiety to flt his only surviving son to discharge his increasing public duties as a m‘n. King Edward may have had his faults; as a manarch he was not always so sagaclous as his admirers would have us believe, bu.‘ as a father of a future King of Greater Britain, he was wisdom personified.

He treated his sailor son as a man, remembering how he had once resenfrd the pontlflcal manner of his own parents. The tours of the Duke of York at home after his marriage and later his well-re- membered overseas visits, urrc all planned and lllslglted by the Prince of Wales so as to familiar- ize his mthor shy SO11 with State ceremony and official procedure. On the death of Queen Victoria and after his own msunlptlon of power. King Edward rrellted his son Prince of wales, and during the short Edwardian reign of nlnc years, as his father's deputy, the Heir to the Throne was kept busy indeed.

As the years posed he became more reconciled to his position. King lixiward made it. his business to tn- troduce his son to all his Minister- ial advisers, but at this time the politicians and the: deep-voiced sailor had little in con-man and neither Mr. Balfour nor Mr. As- quitll were greatly impressed by th~ personality of the Prince of Wales of that period.

“Ho locks at you straight ill the face for a long time and says noth- lng at all," commented one Mln- ister after seeing the Prlncc at an audience, standing beside his father. Little did the politicians of that time know, that the silent, straight- glancing Heir to the Throne was
