The second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and nicknamed "Bertie", Edward was related to royalty throughout Europe. He was Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the British throne for almost 60 years.

As king, Edward played a role in the modernisation of the British Home Fleet and the reorgan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
