The Prince of Wales, George V, born George Frederick Ernest Albert
was born on the 3rd of June 1865. He is the second son
of Albert Edward and the grandson of Queen Victoria. He was third
in line to the throne after his brother and his father, and then
when his brother passed away in 1892 George was second in line to
the throne. He served in the Royal Army from 1877 till 1891, and
his reign started in 1910 with the death of his father. During his
rule there was a rise of socialism, communism, fascism, Irish
