Again for Britain have come echoing down from the ages
the fateful 'words "the king is dead; long live the king I" and
upon the comparatively youthful shoulders of her favorite son
has fallen in these troubled times the crushing burden of sov

For Edward, prince 01 wales,
these words, which have ushered
In and out an endless line of lOng-

They robbed him of a beloved
father, who had been his compan

bed-time stories; they thrust him
upon a throne which he would
much prefer not to occupy.
The prince long had let it be
know-n that he did not want to be
king. He would have preferred that
one of his brothers rule, for by
