Description: Biography for the immensely popular sovereign, a leader of society and something of a rogue.
British Broadcasting Corporation Edward was king of Great Britain from 1901 to 1910, having been heir to Victoria for nearly 60 years. Edward was born on 9 November 1841 in London, the eldest son of Victoria and her prince consort, Albert. He was subjected to a strict regime from an early age, as his parents were keen to ensure he was prepared to rule. He attended both Oxford and Cambridge and briefly joined the army. A liaison with an actress caused considerable scandal and Prince Albert visited his son to reprimand him. Albert died two weeks later and Victoria held her son partly responsible for the death of his father.
