The coronation of King George VI, 1937
In December 1936, Edward VIII abdicated his reign to marry Wallis Simpson just 325 days after he was proclaimed king. This opened the door for his younger brother, Albert, to ascend to the throne and be crowned in 1937 as King George VI. He was accompanied by his wife, Queen Consort Elizabeth (also known as the Queen Mother), and their daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret.
