Albert Frederick Arthur George was born on December 14, 1895 at Sandringham House in England. He is the son of King George V and Queen Mary of Teck. Bertie as he is nicknamed quickly grows up with his siblings. But as in many noble families at the time, he saw little of his parents and was mostly raised by nannies. One of them enjoys making him suffer and feeds him little, which traumatizes him and causes him serious stomach problems. But in reality what he suffers the most from cannot be seen at first glance: he is a stutterer and has trouble expressing himself correctly.
On January 22, 1901, his great-grandmother, Queen Victoria died. His son Edward VII succeeded him until 1910. Then came the turn of Bertie’s father: King George V.
