University of the West - The Apostate King

On a pleasant spring evening in 1894, in the study of the great mansion called "King" in the gardens of Richmond, an Alan king was reading the Pilgrim's Progress, trying to calm his nervousness.

He was to become the next Kachin queen. "The reason his father was so worried was that his wife (later Mary) would have a son. It was just as if she was about to give birth.

WW.Burne, a young man who would one day rule the British Empire, was experiencing the same excitement as any ordinary father when his wife was about to give birth to their first child. He was overjoyed to hear the long-awaited news.

In his diary entry

“On June 23rd at exactly 10 o’clock a very lovely little boy was born. He weighed 8 pounds. The Home Secretary, Mr. S. Quinn, also came to see him.”

He wrote.

This is the day I, the Duke of Windsor (the eighth Duke of York), first came into the world. Mr. Asquith was the then Home Secretary, and was soon to become Prime Minister of England, before Percy was even elected.

Therefore, it can be said that the first visitor to visit me after I was born was a candidate for the Prime Minister of England.

My grandfather (the seventh King of Wales) was the Prince of Wales at the time, and when I was born, he was hosting a grand dunk dance in the gardens of Winsley.

As soon as I heard the news of my birth, my grandfather stopped the dance troupe and...

"All you audience members, welcome."

"The reason we are stopping the ceremony now is to announce some good news. The news is that the firstborn son of La Taw Yor Myo and Kynya Taw, a prince, has been born and is in good health. Therefore, in order to welcome the good news, I would like to propose a motion to pray for the prince."

After the announcement, the whole audience, led by the dancer, happily raised their glasses and toasted me to my good wishes.

After that, it is known that the dance continued.

The reigning monarchs of European countries are also blood relatives of Queen Victoria.

The Kaiser of Germany was the Queen's grandson, William, and the Russian Tsar Nicholas was her grandson through marriage. This was when the British Empire, ruled by Queen Victoria, was still the largest empire in the world.

At that time, the British Empire was not only about a quarter of the size of the United States, but its naval and economic power were also the greatest and most influential in the world.

A seagoing ship built on the banks of the River Clyde in Britain. The giants carried iron and steel from Birmingham, hard goods from Manchester, cotton from Bradford and Leeds, and rolled cloth from Leeds to sell it all over the world.

British-backed countries such as Japan and Argentina are building railways, and are beginning to develop the Middle East and African countries.

The country's economic situation was very prosperous at that time, and the income tax was being levied on sterling.

In other words, it was an era when the capitalist system was already flourishing and socialism was an impossible concept.

I was only a month old when my naming ceremony took place. Her Majesty the Queen of England came from Windsor Castle to preside over the ceremony.

Along with the royal family who attended the ceremony that day, Prime Minister Lottery, my grandfather and first friend, was also present.

Queen Victoria wrote about the day she gave me her christening,

“The baby is so cute. That day, after the moon arrived, I put the baby on my lap and Bati and Kyaw stood behind us and took a picture. It was like a family portrait in the picture.”

I just wrote.
