This is so weird. Queen Victoria reigned until the very last breath she took on earth . She did not want to pass the crown down to her son because she did not trust him to run the monarchy with honor. For he was known for his many affairs he had and problems with money etc. anyways when Queen Victoria died bertie took the throne and only lasted a few years as king I believe. And soon after died of a heart attack. Funny how history is repeating itself ….same situation, but different circumstances.
Oh, by the way, Bertie, that was his nickname. was hoping his mother would’ve retired and past the crown to him before her death, but like Charles and Queen Elizabeth she gave up her crown until she took her last breath. Bertie was bitter because his mother held on to the throne for those many years. If I remember correctly, Queen Victoria was 96 when she died. Making Bertie around 50 years old and unhealthy. His partying, gluttony and women caught up with him. I believe he was around 50+ when he died which in our time was considered young. His life style did him in.
You have no idea if anything is ‘repeating’.
