"King Edward 7th
Died May 6th
1910".
Edward was born on 9th November 1841 in Buckingham Palace. His parents were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
You'd never guess from this photograph that he was seen as a frivolous playboy, a reputation which caused a rift between Edward and his parents. At the age of 21, he married Princess Alexandra of Denmark. She was 18 years old. Edward ruled from 1901 until he died.
The entry in the Golden Text Book for 20th May states, "King Edward, buried 20th May 1910".
