King George VI
A Brief History
King George VI was born Albert Frederick Arthur George (called - Albert, Bertie) on December 14, 1895. He was the second oldest son of Prince George, the Duke of York (later - King George V) and Mary of Teck, the Duchess of York (later - Queen Mary).
When Prince Albert's father ascended to the throne as King George V in 1910, Albert's older brother, Prince Edward (called - David) became the Prince of Wales and the heir to the British throne. The younger Prince Albert was not the heir to the throne, and it was not assumed that he would ever seriously be in the line of succession, or so everyone thought at the time!
