George VI

Giorgio VI del Regno Unito (nato Albert Frederick Arthur George; Sandringham, 14 dicembre 1895 – Sandringham, 6 febbraio 1952) è stato re del Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda del Nord e degli altri reami del Commonwealth dall'11 dicembre 1936 fino al 6 febbraio 1952, giorno della sua morte. Fu l'ultimo Imperatore d'India fino al 15 agosto 1947, pur mantenendo il titolo fino al 22 giugno 1948. Fu anche l'ultimo sovrano britannico a essere re di tutta l'Irlanda; infatti, sebbene l'Irlanda fosse divenuta completamente indipendente nel 1937, il sovrano mantenne comunque il controllo fino al 1949 e il titolo fino alla morte. Era il padre della regina Elisabetta II e di sua sorella Margaret e il nonno materno del re Carlo III. Nacque dall'unione tra il Duca di York, in seguito divenuto re Giorgio V, e la principessa Maria di Teck, secondogenito dopo il fratello Edoardo. Leggi di più su Wikipedia
