"There is one enchanting story of a day when the Prince was taken with his brother to Westminster Abbey. Dean Stanley had been asked to show them the treasures of the Abbey. Nobody could make the memorials of Westminister come to life again as Dean Stanley could with his vivid historic sense. In spite of his charm of the Dean’s stories, Prince George wandered away by himself. At last he was found in a dim little side chapel. He had scrambled on top of Queen Elizabeth’s tomb, and, looking down at the effigy, he was saying, “What an ugly old woman !’’

"It was no State secret that the King disliked travelling abroad. From the end of the war until his death 17 years later, he spent scarcely more than 8 weeks overseas; 5 of them on an enforced Mediterranean cruise after a bout of bronchitis, the rest on reluctant official visits to France, Belgium and Italy. Nor did the Queen ever undertake a foreign tour alone, even during the 17 years of her widowhood"

Who was george's favourite prime minister?

Surprisingly, Ramsay Macdonald! George thought he was a gentleman, which was more important to George than politics.
