I am Edward VII, King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, Emperor of India. Born on November 9, 1841, I was the second child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. I held the title of Prince of Wales for nearly six decades, eagerly anticipating the day when I would ascend to the throne. Married to Princess Alexandra of Denmark and blessed with six children, I traversed the realm, fulfilling ceremonial duties and representing our nation both at home and abroad.
