...King's activity is of a different sort from that of the late Prince Consort Albert, who toiled night & day over the lustiest and most arduous matters of state but it does suggest that Edward VIII has stuff in him likely to ripen on the Throne. No woman has ever pleased Majesty unless she was what King Edward calls "snappy" - that is, active, a good dancer, ebullient, high-strung. In horses he has the same taste and the number of ebullient horses which have fallen with His Majesty, spraining his ankle, breaking his collarbone, once kicking him squarely...
...from his birth and died in one when 13 years of age, in 1919, it seems quite probable that both the aunt (Victoria) and nephew (Prince John) inherited this physical weakness from some remote ancestor, either on the Danish side (Queen Alexandra) or the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Prince Consort) side.

The language in which George V invariably refers to how beauteous Helen was treated by her buck-toothed consort King Carol II of Rumania is salty with sea oaths (TIME, Sept. 10, 1934). Helen although no longer Queen of Rumania, carries officially the style "Her Majesty." The legal nature of her relation to King Carol II is so anomalous that an act of the Rumanian Parliament would suffice to make...
...Majesty's subjects this revelation that the royal bride can and does recite passages from the Highway Act augured that Queen Mary has at last found the perfect royal daughter-in-law, recalled the late Prince Consort Albert whose ability to recite excerpts from State papers ancient and modern has been equaled by no member of the Royal Family since...
