IUFLA Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 So according to this George V was King, and father to Edward VIII and George VI. When he died, Edward VIII ascended to the throne, but gave it up after 3 months to marry Ms Wallis Simpson. His brother, George VI, ascended... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his tenure probably won't be all that long statistically speaking... If he'd have become King at 25 like she became Queen, there'd be Royal Progeny spread all over the planet...

IUFLA Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I simply can't believe the vitriol in that sewer called Twitter, and in some of the press over The Queen's passing... Unbelievable... Good trivia question: during her reign, who was the only U. S. President Queen Elizabeth II did not meet with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess Truman since he would have the shortest time as president during her time as queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, due to the way the question was framed during her reign, that would be correct too, as when she met Truman, she was not yet Queen... Kinda like Miss Congeniality 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
