He was the youngest grandchild of George V and Queen Mary;
He is the second son of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester;
was the nephew of George VI;
is the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II;
He was the cousin of King Charles;
He was the uncle of Prince William, Prince of Wales.
He was - Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester.
Because his parents married late and had children later, Prince Richard was born on August 26, 1944. There is an 18-year difference between her cousin who was born on April 21, 1926, and the future Queen ElizabethHe is only 4 years older than the next generation of Charles.
The title of Gloucester was inherited by his older brother, Prince William, Prince Richard, who was the unobtrusive one in the family, and who followed the path of an ordinary prince.
The elder brother Gloucester William has the shadow of his father Henry's suave and his mother Alice's adventurous side, while Richard is completely incompatible with the three members of the family, he seems honest, kind and gentle.
Prince Richard's life is as planned. After graduating from Eton College, he went on to study architecture at Cambridge University, and then worked as an architect in the Department of Public Works. And when he was in college at Cambridge, he met his first love, his wife Brigitte.
Like his uncle Edward, his brother Gloucester William fell in love with the twice-divorced Susi in Hungary, which was forbidden in the royal family, so William remained unmarried. He served as the best man for his younger brother Richard, and it was William's last royal event. Six weeks later, while participating in the International Aviation Championship, shortly after takeoff, the plane suddenly broke down and fell rapidly, and the two people on the plane, including Prince William Gloucester, lost their lives. And Prince Henry, who was already sick, could not accept this reality and died two years later.
It is said that the name Prince William, Prince of Wales, was given by Charles in memory of his cousin, Prince William Gloucester, who died young.
Prince Richard inherited the title of Duke of Gloucester. In the days that followed, he and his wife, Brigitte, were well-known model workers in the royal family for their dedication and dedication to their duties. For so many years, there have never been any rumors in this family, and it has never had a negative impact on the royal family.
As a side branch of the British royal family and a cousin who grew up with King Charles, it is quite touching to serve the royal family for life.
There is no harm without comparison, and Prince Harry wants to enjoy the aura brought by the royal family on the one hand, and the so-called "privacy" on the other. A series of unbelievable operations such as selling the privacy of the royal family and discrediting the royal family really chilled the hearts of the older generation of royals and Charles.
The older generation of royals is well aware of their responsibilities and "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight".
What about the biological son?Charles's catastrophe wasn't brought about by this unreassuring Harry?Let the whole royal family be seen as a joke by the world, this is really the biggest joke.
