George V (1865—1936) king of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936, the second son of Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII. He served in the navy until the death (1892) of his elder brother, Prince Albert Victor, brought the need for more specialized training as eventual heir to the throne. Created duke of York (May 1892), he married (July 1893) Princess Mary of Teck, who had been his brother’s fiancée. Created duke of Cornwall and prince of Wales after his father’s accession (1901), he succeeded his father on May 6, 1910, and was crowned on June 22, 1911.
