Her Majesty The Queen is involved in over 100 different charities, organizations, associations, clubs, & military services. She is mostly a Patron of most groups but has positions like Patron In Chief, Joint Patron, Visitor, Honorary Freeman, Honorary Commodore, Sovereign Honorary Member, Sponsor, Governor, President, Master, Chief Patron, Honorary Member, Protector, & many other titles. As the Queen has stepped down from most groups, she has handed titles & charities over to other family members such as her husband, her children, and new family members like The Duchess of Cambridge.

Besides charities, the Queen is charge of all things military, veterans, and other service positions. She has many rankings & titles she uses depending on what branch or group of service she is visiting that day.

The Death of His Majesty King George V

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝒸𝓁𝒾𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓉𝒽

George V had developed a lot of health problems after the First World War & it took a toll on him. George was injured on Thursday, October 28th, 1915 when he was thrown from a horse & he also developed Chronic Bronchitis from his heavy smoking addiction. 10 years later in 1925, he was sent on a cruise to the Mediterranean which was used to help him recuperate. 

image

3 years later in 1929, he developed an illness called Sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition for when the body’s response to an infection causes injuries to both the tissues & the organs. The King’s body never recovered from years of illness & injury, so in last year of life, he was administered oxygen.

image

 6 years later, when George’s sister Her Royal Highness The Princess Victoria died, it sent the King into a deep state of depression. 1 year after his sister’s death on January 15th, 1936, George went to his bedroom at Sandringham House, complaining of a cold. The cold turned the King’s body for the worst, as he became weaker & would drift in & out of consciousness. George’s nurse Catherine Black & physician Lord Dawson of Penn, gave him a sedative the night of his death which consisted of 3/4 gram of morphine & 1 gram of cocaine. The family did not approve of the injection but also did not want the King’s death to be painful & slow.

Declining Health & Lethal Injection

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝐹𝓊𝓃𝑒𝓇𝒶𝓁

As the King’s health declined, multiple close sources of the King’s came forward with updates on his decline. 

The first source was Prime Minister Baldwin who wrote, “Each time he became conscious it was some kind inquiry or kind observation of someone, some words of gratitude for kindness shown. But he did say to his secretary when he sent for him: "How is the Empire?" An unusual phrase in that form, and the secretary said: "All is well, sir, with the Empire", and the King gave him a smile and relapsed once more into unconsciousness.”

The second source was Lord Dawson of Penn (The King’s Physician) who issued a bulletin that had “The King's life is moving peacefully towards its close,” written on it. Lord Dawson also kept updates in journals with the King’s last words written in it which were “God Damn You,” which was said to his nurse Catherine Black. He also said he wanted the injection to happen at night, so that the death of the King could make the morning edition of British Newspaper The Times.

British Pathé News announced the King’s death, the next morning & described the King as “More than a King, a father of a great family.” BBC Studios was next for the broadcast, as German composer Paul Hindemith & English Conductor Adrian Boult along with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, performed a Mourning Music that evening.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6y1KYItRzQ (British Pathé News Broadcast)

The night before the funeral, the King’s sons’ His Royal Highness Edward The Duke of Windsor, His Majesty King George (Albert) VI, & His Royal Highness Henry The Duke of Gloucester, mounted the Vigil of the Princes guard at the Catafalque. The sons did this in respect to their father who was now gone. The King was lied in state at Westminster Hall but was interred at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on Tuesday, January 28th, 1936.

Hello fellow Royal Lovers! I am back after a month long break from social media. I have been through so much in one month & 2020 is definitely been a whirlwind crazy year already! I have missed this account so much and I can’t wait to get back into things around here! Here’s a quick recap of what happened in the past month!

𝑅𝑒𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓉𝓊𝓈

I have been single for most of my life (I’ve only had two boyfriends before my new boyfriend & they both broke my heart). I had met a new man a few weeks & we seemed to really get along. We both wanted to make things serious & we hung out a few times, but... things happen. We both have had horrible luck with relationships or set ups by friends in the past. We both believe that right now is just not the time to be with each other (as we both need to work on things on ourselves & in our lives) but we both agreed to be friends and still be in each other’s lives. We do both hope to get back together in the future & we still care deeply about each other. I’m not moving on any time soon to take time to focus on myself to make myself better and just prepare for my future. I had so much fun & learned so much in these few weeks with him, so my advice... Take those chances & take those risks. Life is too short. ♥️

I have been so in love lately being around my family as much as I have. I have been spending every Sunday at my mom’s house having dinner with all of my family, going to birthday parties for my all my cousins (I have 2 different cousins who have kids) & their children (my cousin’s son turned 1 & my cousin’s daughter is about to turn two!), & I’ve been spending a lot of my time either with my cousin or my nephew. Also my brother is also going through a break up so I’ve been spending time with him too by giving him advice from my past. My grandmother had knee surgery in the first week of March

Starting in January of 2020, I officially went back to college (well taking my classes online) after taking a semester off from school & I started my first ever job in November of 2020. I have been loving both ever since! I am currently taking 2 courses: General Psychology & English Composition 2 & they are going fantastic! I have been working at a School I attended when I was a child (the school is Pre-K through 8th grade & I attended 5th through 8th grade!) & I love the children I work with dearly. Now due to coronavirus, I sadly do not get to see the kids I work with for a whole month now. I’m fortunate that coronavirus is not affecting my education though as my classes are already online. It did move around due dates though. I just hope everything gets cleared up soon and everyone can go back to normal life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well that’s about all y’all! I’m so excited to finally be back & just be on the look out for new posts or updates! I love you all so much!

The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒪𝓌𝓃𝑒𝓇𝓈: 

♕ Her Majesty Queen Mary (1892 - 1947): Wedding Gift from Lady Eva Greville

♕ Queen Elizabeth II (1947 - Present): Wedding Gift from Her Majesty Queen Mary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇: 

Designed in 1893 by The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara Committee led by Lady Eva Greville

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃: 

The Tiara features Festoon & Fleur-De-Lis designs with Diamonds set in Silver and Gold. The Original Design was topped with 14 pearls. Inside the custom mahogany box provided by the jeweler, a second frame was also supplied, which allowed the tiara to be worn as a coronet. Even better, it could also be taken off a frame entirely and worn as a necklace. In 1912, Mary had the Tiara re-designed. She had the pearls removed from the top of the tiara, replacing them with 13 diamond brilliants. The pearls were incorporated into her new Lover's Knot Tiara. The base of the tiara was also removed around this time so that it could be worn separately as a bandeau. In 1960, the Bandeau of the Tiara was placed back onto the tiara, which gave it more height.

♕ 𝐹𝓊𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝒸𝓉𝓈: 

♕ Lady Eva’s Greville’s committee (who raised the money for the tiara), had so much money left over after the tiara was created so the funds were used to support the widows & families of the HMS Victoria ship collision in 1893. 

♕ Queen Mary did not wear the tiara on her wedding day. 

♕ Queen Elizabeth calls the Tiara “Granny’s Tiara.” The Tiara was a wedding gift from her grandmother Queen Mary in 1947.
