King George V est né le 3 juin 1865 à Londres, Angleterre, Royaume-Uni. Il était marié à Queen Mary. Il est mort le 20 janvier 1936 à Norfolk, Angleterre, Royaume-Uni.
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.
