Queen Victoria’s great-grand children, the children of King George V were a fascinating bunch. The two eldest brothers Edward VIII and George VI both took their turns on the throne. The four younger siblings never wore crowns but still got into plenty of mischief. They were: Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood who dedicated herself to improving the lives of women, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester a stoic war hero Prince George, Duke of Kent, an artistic bisexual tomcat Prince John, a lonely boy who died tragically young.
