In 1865 Queen Victoria was Queen of the UK. Her oldest son, Prince Albert Edward of Wales, was next in line to the throne. That year Prince Edward had his second child, George, was born. His older brother, Prince Albert Victor, was second in line to become King after his father. But, in 1892 Prince Albert Victor became sick and died. This boosted Prince George to second in line after his father. In 1901, Queen Victoria died and Prince Albert Edward took the throne, calling himself Edward VII. This made Prince George the Heir to the throne. In 1910 King Edward died and Prince George took the throne.
