A letter by George V, to his son, Prince Albert, now the Duke of York, who would later be George VI, after making him the Duke of York
At the time of their wedding, May wrote: “I am only looking forward to the time when you and I shall be alone at Sandringham…I am very sorry that I am still so shy with you, I tried not to be so the other day, but alas failed, I was angry with myself! It is so stupid to be so stiff together and really there is nothing I would not tell you, except that I love you more than anybody in the world, and this I cannot tell you myself, so I write it to relieve my feelings”.
George replied: “Thank God we both understand each other, and I think it really unnecessary for me to tell you how deep my love for you my darling is and I feel it growing stronger and stronger every time I see you; although I may appear shy and cold”.

A two-part portrait of the Queen’s grandparents who rescued the monarchy from potential disaster.
Tonight’s film focuses on the king, a man who could not have been a more unlikely modernizer.
Born and brought up in the Victorian age, he was conservative to his fingertips.
Yet in the face of unstoppable social change after the First World War he turned out to be a remarkable innovator, creating the House of Windsor, embracing democratic reform and reinventing many of the royal traditions that we know today.
A must watch if you want to understand how the the British Royal Family has come to be what it is now.
