    Captain Andrew Aspden The Private Secretary to the Earl of Wessex, Bagshot Park, Bagshot, Surrey, GU19 5PL 14th April 2021 Dear Earl of Wessex, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and I join with the nation in mourning his loss. I write to express my deepest sympathy to you and The Countess of Wessex. On behalf of the Rayner farming family of Royal Berkshire, the whole family gives thanks for His Royal Highness’ dedicated service to the nation, and commitment to making a difference via so many charitable causes. His Royal Highness’ constant support to her Majesty throughout seven decades of marriage has been a true inspiration. I was extremely privileged that His Royal Highness was able to attend my Mayor’s ball in May 2013 at Guards Polo Club. His Royal Highness made it an incredibly special evening, as he took time to speak to the three school choirs, including the choir from St Mary’s School Ascot, and all our guests. With His Royal Highness The Prince Philip’s help, we raised a lot of money for The Prince Philip Trust Fund that night. His Royal Highness offered great support and wise words while my team was building the Carriage Driving Courses in the grounds of Windsor Castle. We will miss seeing His Royal Highness driving in his carriages and Land Rover around Home Park Private while we are preparing for the Royal Windsor Horse Show. I have many fond memories and encounters to remember His Royal Highness Prince Philip by.

  • Mediacide: the Press's Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII
    ___________________________________________________________ Mediacide: the Press’s Role in the Abdication Crisis of Edward VIII Joel Grissom ___________________________________________________________ On December 10, 1936, a group of men entered the ornate drawing room of Fort Belvedere, the private get-away of His Majesty, King Edward VIII. The mood of the room was informal as the King sat at his desk. Fifteen documents lay before him ready for his signature. Briefly scanning them, he quickly affixed, Edward, RI, to the documents. He then relinquished his chair to his brother, Albert, Duke of York, who did the same. The process was repeated twice more as Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, also signed the documents. The King stepped outside and inhaled the fresh morning air.1 To the King it smelled of freedom. After months of battling with his Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, and the Prime Minister’s allies in the establishment and the press, Edward was laying down the crown in order to marry the woman he loved, an American divorcee named Wallis Simpson. The next day the newspaper headlines across the world would broadcast the news of the King’s unprecedented decision. With the signing of the Instrument of Abdication, Edward had signed away his throne. The newspapers in both the United States and the United Kingdom that would report the abdication had played a major role in bringing about the fall of the King. While the British media had observed a blackout during most of the crisis, the media in the United States had reported the story of the King and Mrs.

    George VI of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 10/6/11 10:20 PM George VI of the United Kingdom From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from King George VI) George VI (Albert Frederick Arthur George; 14 December 1895 – 6 February 1952) was King of the United Kingdom George VI and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 until his death. He was the last Emperor of India, and the first Head of the Commonwealth. As the second son of King George V, he was not expected to inherit the throne and spent his early life in the shadow of his elder brother, Edward. He served in the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force during World War I, and after the war took on the usual round of public engagements. He married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923, and they had two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. George's elder brother ascended the throne as Edward VIII on the death of their father in 1936. However, less than a year later Edward revealed his desire to marry the divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin advised Edward that for political and Formal portrait, c. 1940–46 religious reasons he could not marry Mrs Simpson and remain king. Edward abdicated in order to marry, and George King of the United Kingdom and the British ascended the throne as the third monarch of the House of Dominions (more...) Windsor.

Members of the College Corps lined the route. Two days later, a Guard of Honour was mounted for the Prince at Eastbourne station, pictured. His Royal Highness was impressed and requested that the pupils be given an extra few days’ holiday. The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, then the Duke of Windsor) The Prince of Wales visited the College in June 1931 as part of a day-long tour of Eastbourne. He arrived by plane on a field now occupied by the District General Hospital. The Prince was escorted by Headmaster Gordon Carey during his visit. Emerging from Big School after taking tea with the 1st XI cricketers Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret During their stay with the Duke of Devonshire at Compton Place in October 1946, the Princesses were invited to tea at Pennell House by pupil Robin Harrison. The Duke replied on their behalf to say that they were unable to come, but that they had requested that College pupils be given a whole-day holiday. This was much to the annoyance of Headmaster John Nugee; however, he felt he could not refuse a Royal Command.

  • Queen Elizabeth II the Queen’S Early Life the Queen Was Born at 2.40Am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London
    Queen Elizabeth II The Queen’s early life The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen. The Duke and Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth The Queen’s early life The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary. The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park. She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. The Queen’s early life When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died.
