George V (born George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom. He was the first British monarch with the family name Windsor. His father was Edward VII.
George was born in 1865. He was in the Royal Navy when he was twelve; he left the Navy to become king. George was crowned King and Emperor of India in 1911. He was married to Princess Mary of Teck.
As King during World War I, George and his wife visited the Western Front regularly to greet British and Commonwealth troops and also to raise morale amongst the troops. He changed the family name to "Windsor" to remove any association with a German heritage, because Germany was very unpopular at this time. Among other things, he started the "Royal Christmas Broadcast" tradition. He was known for being a stamp collector. His sons Edward and George would later become kings of the United Kingdom and British Empire.
George was a popular monarch. His great-grandson is the current British monarch, King Charles III, who ascended the throne in 2022.
