この家系図の人々

• Victoria · 05/24/1819–01/22/1901 · London, United Kingdom → Isle of Wight, United Kingdom — Queen of the United Kingdom from 1837 and Empress of India from 1876, she reigned 63 years — the Victorian age that bore her name. Her nine children married into the courts of Europe, earning her the nickname “grandmother of Europe”, and her death in 1901 closed the century she had defined.
• Albert · 08/26/1819–12/14/1861 · Coburg, Germany → Windsor, United Kingdom — Prince Consort and Victoria’s devoted husband, born at Saxe-Coburg in Germany. A tireless moderniser, he championed science and the arts and masterminded the Great Exhibition of 1851; his early death from typhoid in 1861 left the Queen in mourning for the rest of her life.
• Edward VII · 11/09/1841–05/06/1910 · London, United Kingdom → London, United Kingdom — Eldest son of Victoria and Albert, he waited nearly sixty years as heir before acceding in 1901. A sociable, diplomatic monarch who lent his name to the Edwardian era, he helped forge the Entente Cordiale with France before his death in 1910.
• Alexandra of Denmark · 12/01/1844–11/20/1925 · Copenhagen, Denmark → Sandringham, United Kingdom — Danish-born queen consort of Edward VII and daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, whose siblings and children sat on thrones across Europe. Admired for her grace and charitable work, she was widowed in 1910 and lived on as a revered dowager until her death in 1925.
• George V · 06/03/1865–01/20/1936 · London, United Kingdom → Sandringham, United Kingdom — King through the upheaval of the First World War, he renamed the royal house “Windsor” in 1917 to shed its German titles amid wartime anti-German feeling. A steadying, dutiful monarch, he reigned until his death in 1936, leaving the crown to his ill-fated son Edward VIII.
• Mary of Teck · 05/26/1867–03/24/1953 · London, United Kingdom → London, United Kingdom — Queen consort of George V and a pillar of the monarchy through war, abdication and a second world war. Famed for her formidable dignity and devotion to duty, she lived to see her granddaughter Elizabeth II’s accession and died in 1953, weeks before the coronation.
• Edward VIII · 06/23/1894–05/28/1972 · London, United Kingdom → Paris, France — King for less than a year in 1936, he abdicated to marry the twice-divorced American Wallis Simpson — the only British sovereign ever to renounce the throne voluntarily. Created Duke of Windsor, he spent the rest of his life largely in France, dying in Paris in 1972.
• George VI · 12/14/1895–02/06/1952 · Sandringham, United Kingdom → Sandringham, United Kingdom — Thrust onto the throne by his brother’s abdication in 1936, he became a symbol of national resolve, staying in London through the Blitz of the Second World War. Overcoming a lifelong stammer, he reigned until his death in 1952 and was succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth II.
• Wallis Simpson · 06/19/1896–04/24/1986 · Blue Ridge Summit, United States → Paris, France — American socialite whose romance with Edward VIII triggered the 1936 abdication crisis. As Duchess of Windsor she shared his exile in France, kept at arm’s length by the royal family, and outlived her husband by fourteen years, dying in Paris in 1986.
• Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon · 08/04/1900–03/30/2002 · London, United Kingdom → Windsor, United Kingdom — Queen consort of George VI and, after his death, the beloved “Queen Mother” for half a century. Her refusal to leave London during the wartime bombing made her a national icon, and she lived to 101, dying in 2002 just weeks after her younger daughter Princess Margaret.
• Philip Mountbatten · 06/10/1921–04/09/2021 · Corfu, Greece → Windsor, United Kingdom — Born a prince of Greece and Denmark, he gave up his foreign titles to marry the future Elizabeth II in 1947 and became her steadfast consort for 73 years — the longest-serving in British history. Known for his blunt wit and his patronage of youth and conservation, he died in 2021, just short of 100.
• Elizabeth II · 04/21/1926–09/08/2022 · London, United Kingdom → Balmoral, United Kingdom — Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, queen for over seventy years from 1952 until her death in 2022.
