    George V, king of the United Kingdom from 1910 to 1936, the second son of Prince Albert Edward, later King Edward VII. Created duke of Cornwall and prince of Wales after his father’s accession (1901), he succeeded his father on May 6, 1910, and was crowned on June 22, 1911.
    After receiving an injection of morphine and cocaine by the royal physician, he died on January 20, 1936. In 1935, King George V celebrated his Silver Jubilee, to much public rejoicing. He had become a popular king by cultivating good relationships with the Labour Party and unions during the economic depression of the 1930s.
    As the second son of King Edward VII, George V was not next in line to inherit the throne—until his elder brother’s death in 1892. He succeeded his father in 1910 and was crowned on June 22, 1911, just over three years before the United Kingdom would enter World War I.
    George V predicted that when he was gone, his son would ‘ruin himself’ within a year. Once again, he proved astute. In 1935, the king was stunned by the outpouring of love and affection demonstrated on the occasion of his Silver Jubilee. It reduced him to tears.
