Best Answer

King George VI was the British monarch, and father of the current Queen. Elizabeth II took the throne when George VI died in 1953.

George VI was not supposed to get to be the king. British kings like to have at least two sons - "the heir and the spare". George VI was the spare, the younger brother of Edward VIII. When their father, George V, died in 1937, Edward was King for less than a year, but abdicated the throne so he could marry the woman he loved. He could not remain King and marry her, as she had three strikes against her - she was a commoner, an American, and divorced. So Edward was the man who gave up an Empire, for Wallis Warfield Simpson.
