Edward VII's children
Edward VII (1841165438+1October 9-1965438+May 6), king of England (190/kloc-0) He is the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He studied at Oxford and Cambridge University and married Alexandra, the daughter of Danish Christian Ⅸ, in 1863. Edward is particularly interested in horse racing and yacht racing. Because of his informal life and sometimes disorderly behavior, the queen forbade him to take charge of any affairs related to actual state affairs before he was over 50 years old. After the Queen's death, Edward succeeded to the throne, and during his reign, he vigorously restored the glory of the British monarchy, which was dimmed by the Queen's long-term widowhood. As a very popular king, he laid the foundation for the "Anglo-French Agreement" during his visit to Paris in 1903.

Although Edward is unfaithful to his wife, he is considerate and full of love for his children.
