King George V wurde am 3 Juni 1865 in Marlborough House, London, England, UK geboren. Er war mit Queen Mary verheiratet. Er starb am 20 Januar 1936 in Sandringham, Norfolk, England, UK.
During World War I in 1917, to show his loyalty to the British people, George changed the name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor by royal proclamation, and ordered his family members to relinquish all claims to their German titles. At the time, anti-German sentiment was high in the country.
