From The ' Cradle to The Throne i (By an Auth ir Who Has Been Given l (Authentic Inside Knowledge) 1 l King George VI is one of :1 large family. The three eldest childicn of Kill': Gcorge \' and Queen Mary weir: all born within three years. and the Royal nursery could nevcrj 'havc been (lull, with three such high. spiritcd children in it. It was on December 14th, 1895, that Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George was born at York Cottage, Sandringl‘iam. Although his later training wa> istrict and severe, his nursery day< wcre happy hours, filled with phij' l amongst little companions of his run lagc. Until the death of Queen Vic- , toria, which was shortly followed ly the departure of the Prince and Princess of W'ales for the great Australian Trip, the youngr Prince espent most of his time in the nursâ€" cry with his sister and brothers, When, however his parents returnâ€" ed, his ‘education began in earnest. Lessons were taken seriously, but °thc physical side of training was byv no means neglected. Military and other drill had been regular since nursery days â€" there was dancing class at Marlborough â€" they were taught. swimming and thoroughly coached in all outdic0r sports. Team games were not easy to master for the boy who is educated at home. but to meet this deficiency the young Prince was allowed to play" football at Sandringham with the village boys. and the other national game. cricket, was played on the Royal Household grounds at Frog- l-Lru. It was in July that he was able to (htain his training for a ‘ Iiill 1's certificate, and he was apâ€" of national duties other than mili- 'tary ones. Several times he was exiled upon to relieve his father and ‘ elder brother when their srcial func- -t.ior~ became too heavy for them P-.'l'~‘>flllll_\' to fulfil. At this time' !his life was to be devoted.

T E ed '1‘. s first year of peace was mark- his career as the beginning : A .. wa< decided he should proceed to F;'n"rri:lge for a short and intensive course of study. The course chosen i was not the full regulation one, but rather a selection of special suihâ€" ,icct.» that would be of exceptional value to him in his future career. Tlilis the Prime took an intensive} course of history. economics and nltjcsfcs. subjects for which he had a “ilitll'lll affinity, and which were later to prove of great benefit when 1 he faced the prhlic work to which her of the Royal Family today naS, comprehensive a kntwlcdgc of, the economic problems of our time as has King George VI. But he has never been content with book-know- ledge alone. His natural and healthy instinct to see for himself the (auditions of which he reads. Prob- ably there are few men in England who have followed from start to finish so many processes of manuâ€" facture he. has done. Nor has ihe been content with looking on; he so is as St. George's, Windscr. At thirteen years of age Prince Albert was used to life, hard and bracing, perhaps, but sheltered in the almost cloistered seclusion of a Royal home. Then at fourteen came the ordeal of facing the hard life of the Naval Training College at Cshoirrie, and there he was to be an ordinary cadet, with no privileges and no ralnk other than the rank he . earned. Most cadets have had at ‘ least the discipline of a preparatory, l fClinl to prepare them for the or-i deal of naval training, but during the ' next seven years of steady disci- pline, the Prince was to prove that ‘ a public school is not essential in,[ the making of a man. For two years at Osborne, and; two at Dartmouth he studied hard.‘ Into his day’s work had to be crowd- ed n-ot only the essentials of a gen- eral education, but also physics, electricity, engineering, naval his- tory, navigation, and the elements of Seamanship. He invariably put his back into the work, which he cbâ€" more with teams from Eton and the “ inow he likes to apply his know- can drive a railway train or a tramâ€" ;car as well as a professional, and itliere are-fcw manual jclbs. that he would fear to undertake. Another problem which interests him is the housing question. He insists upon ‘sceing conditions at f'rst-‘hand how the rank and file of his people ‘live when not brushed up and pre- pared for company. Again, the King Iliad made a serious study of engin- eering, electricity, and other sci- ences during his naval career, and ledge to the matter-ofâ€"fa-ct everyday affairs of life. Everyone in the ONOOOQOOOOQOOOQO .Royal Household turns to him for assistance and advice when some problem of wireless crops up. He is a keen radio engineer and has personally constructed many reli- able wireless sets, which have someâ€" ‘tfmes been given to his personal tfriends and sometimes sent '0 hos- ipitals and institutions. While Piiin‘ce Allbent was undengoâ€" inrg his college course, the Prince of Wales was in Canada and Australia for a good deal of the time, with vio'wsly liked, though he himself modestly declares that his name was generally to be found at the bottom of the lists. Nevertheless, the un- assuming ways of the cadet made him universally liked and respect! ed. Perhaps because he suffered from what seemed a natural impedi- i ment in his speech, which he had to fight strenuously when using cer- tain wordsâ€"he was quiet and a trifle .shy. Yet although he did not speak much he was known for his strong sense of humour, and today his small daughters can testify that their strong, silent “Daddy” is al- ways ready for fun. ‘ In 1912, when just seventeen, he joined his cadet shllp, Cumberland. Then after the completion of the Cumlberland cruise he was gazetted mid'ship-mian and appointed to H.M.S. Colling'wood. This was the fateful soon the young Prince was facing active service. The history of the war was to Prince Albert 3 hi-sto-ry‘ of continual private disappointments. It had only lasted a month when he‘ was hurried home for an operation for appendicitis. Again he joined his ship, to be once more invalided home; then just before the Battle of Jutland he was pronounced fit for active service. It is rare for royalty to be mentioned in dis-i patches, but the Prince received this ‘ honour, and was commended for his coolness and courage during the weary hours under fire. Later the} officer in charge of the gun-turret, where the Prince was stationed was! . asked if he could remember anything 1 of interest about the day. but ap- parently had no tale to tell. Every-i thing had followed its normal course i i l ' the result that the younger brother had to act as uniderstudy. This ne- cessitated his frequently going up to town, and somewhat interrupted} his studies. Nevertheless, he managed to become thoroughly grounded in the ideals of good citizenship, and made an intimate inquiry into such practical matters as housing, wgl- fare of the industrial workers, the relations between capital and lab- our, and other kindred subjects. The years that followed were busy ones, His Royal Wedding to Lady Elizabeth BOiwes-Lyon in 1923; Of- ficial Tours of Ireland. East Africa, Lancashire, South Wales, Yorkshire and the Opening- of Parliament 'House at Canberra, Australia: fol- lowed by the serious illneSs of his father in 1928â€"his Silver Jubilee in 1935 and subsequent death in 1936. Then came the short reign of his brother. King Edward! VIII with his abdication on December 10th of the same year. Very few days pass-ed without an engagement somewhere and, indeed. glancing over a list of activities dur- ing this period, one is astonished at his undlagging energy and wide- spread interests. Few of the offi- cial engagements were spectacular,’ but the years show a record of quiet , service to the nation and the Em- pire, most of it performed at home. King George VI has not shown quite the same taste for continental tra- vel as his elder brother, although he has covered many thousands of miles within the Empire. At this time too, he had two daughters who, 'quite apart from his personal feelâ€" ings, required his presence at home .1 as much as possible.
