90 years old and as dapper and dutiful as ever.

And he's still curious. What an interesting place to visit. I can't imagine the stories that can now be told about the war effort and the people who worked behind the scenes to bring about an end to the war.

I'm sure he has his moments but nothing seems to get this fine loyal man down. Good for him!

He might have been King.

I recall that there was a story that his father (the fourth of the brothers) was considered to succeed Edward VIII on his abdication. That Duke of Kent (George) and his wife Marina were very popular and already had a son and heir - today's Duke of Kent.

York and Gloucester - Bertie and Harry - were considered to be less personable and neither of those two had any heir at that point in time.

...neither of those two had any male heir...

Yes, Nellie. I've read that same story as well. Interesting thought.
