May 12. (AP) Kln George VI., third sovereign of the House of Windsor, can claim blood relationship with nearly every reign ing monarch In Europe. Descended from the old German house of Hanover through both his father and his mother, Oeorge never theless Is a member of the British House of Windsor, The House of Hanover generally was held to have been succeeded by that of Baxe-Coburg when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840. Victoria came to the throne by indirect succession, because her father's elder brothers sons of Oeorge II. died without leaving Is sue, and her father, the Duke of Kent, also was dead. Because the Salic law restricting succession to male members of the royal family does not operate In England, she took precedence over her father's younger brother, the Duke of Cumberland. The House of Saxe-Coburg was short lived. War with Germany led Oeorgo V. father of the monarch enthroned today to announce the foundation of the new House of Windsor. King Edward VIII., who abdicated, was Its second head. Descent of the crown would pans. In the event of the death of King George VI. to Princess Elizabeth, heiress -presumptive unless of course a male heir Is born to him and Queen Elizabeth before then. After Princess Elizabeth the crown would go to her younger sister, Princess Margaret, then to the Duke of Oloucester, as a younger son of Oeorge the fifth, the Duke of Kent, and the Duke of Kent's son, Prince Edward.
