European monarchs interpreted their divine power as a mandate from God, often termed the "Divine Right of Kings." This belief held that their authority to rule was divinely ordained, making them accountable only to God rather than to their subjects.

This interpretation not only reinforced their legitimacy but also served to suppress dissent and maintain social hierarchy.

World War I took a toll on king George V's health, and his heavy smoking exacerbated recurring breathing problems. He long suffered from emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive lung disease and pleurisy. In 1928, he fell seriously ill, and for the next two years his son Edward took over many of his duties. The King retired for a brief period to the seaside resort of Bognor Regis in Sussex. A myth later grew that his last words, upon being told that he would soon be well enough to revisit the town, were "Bugger Bognor!"George never fully recovered. In his final year, he was occasionally administered oxygen. On the evening of 15 January 1936, the King took to his bedroom at Sandringham House complaining of a cold; he would never again leave the room alive. He became gradually weaker, drifting in and out of consciousness. By 20 January, he was close to death. His physician, Lord Dawson of Penn, issued a bulletin with words that have become famous: "The King's life is drawing peacefully to a close." Dawson's private diary, unearthed after his death, reveals that the King's last words, a mumbled "God damn you!", were addressed to his nurse when she gave him a sedative on the night of 20 January. Dawson wrote that he hastened the King's end by giving him a lethal injection of cocaine and morphine, both to prevent further strain on the family and so that the King's death could be announced in the morning edition of The Times newspaper. King George V died at 11:55 p.m. on 20 January, 1936.
