CAREER OF EDWARD VIII,
KING OF GREAT BRITAIN

completed when disquieting rumors of
the kings i'll health, which had been
current for several days, were con-
firmed by the postponement of the
ceremony. 1t was announced that the
king was suffering from perityphlitis.
and on June "a he underwent an op-
Grafton. After some weeks Of the
greatest anxiety, he recovered, and
the coronation took place August 9.
During the long years of his prince
hood Edwards public duties consisted
solely in the Office of representing the
royal family at all manner of public
events, and he performed these du.
ties well. But the deadly monotony
of such life was too much for the
vigorous man, and he found relaxa-
ton in amusements that frequently
gave rise to scandals and that gave
the world wrong impression of his
real character. He was especially
fond of the theater and among his
boon companions for years were ac-
tresses and actors. Also he devel-
oped great liking for Paris and often
visited that gay capital incognito.
The Riviera and Biarritz likewise were
familiar with the face of the prince of
Wales.
But all this, as has been said, was
only his relaxation, and after coming
to the throne his conduct always was
so circumspect that not the most cap
tious critic could find any fault with 1t.
AS a diplomat Edward was unex-
celled among the monarchs of Europe.
His influence was always thrown to
the side of international peace where
compatible with national honor, and
his advice and example had a steady
ing effect on all Europe. He looked
with amused tolerance on the va
carries and extravagances of his neph-
ew, the emperor of Germany, but oc-
casionally that ruler exasperated him
to such an extent that he could not
advice Such admonition was not re-
ceived by William in a submissive
spirit, and once in a while there were
| sensational rumors that the peaceful
relations between the two countries
were about to be ruptured.
The development of the kings char
acter in his later years was espe-
cially gratifying to the nation. In adj
dition to the love of his people, which
he had always had, he gained their
admiration and respect. They had the
utmost confidence in his good judg-
ment, as was amply exemplified dur
ing the late crisis over the budget.
and they were always sure he would
do the right thing at the right time.
To Edward and Alexandra were
born six children. The first, Prince
Albert, duke of Clarence, died in 1892.
aged twenty-eight years. The second.
George Frederick Ernest Albert, born
on June 3, 1865, succeeds to the
throne The other children are:
Princess Louisa Victoria, married to
the duke of Fife; Princess Victoria
Alexandra; Princess Maude Charlotte,
married to Prince Charles of Den
mark, and Prince Alexander John,
who died the day after his birth in
| 1871.
