On This Day In History . 22 January 1901 . King Edward VII accession . . ◼ When Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901, Edward became King of the United Kingdom, Emperor of India &, in an innovation, King of the British Dominions. . ◼ He chose to reign under the name Edward VII, instead of Albert Edward the name his mother had intended for him to use declaring that he did not wish to “undervalue the name of Albert” & diminish the status of his father with whom the “name should stand alone”. The numeral VII was occasionally omitted in Scotland, even by the national church, in deference to protests that the previous Edwards were English kings who had “been excluded from Scotland by battle”. . ◼ J. B. Priestley recalled, “I was only a child when he succeeded Victoria in 1901, but I can testify to his extraordinary popularity. He was in fact the most popular king England had known since the earlier 1660s.” . . . #HisMajesty #EdwardVII #KingEdwardVII #HouseofSaxeCoburgandGotha #RoyalFamily #BritishMonarchy #TheBritishMonarchy #GodSaveTheKing #History #Onthisdayinhistory #London #kensingtonpalace #buckinghampalace #OsborneHouse #Balmoral #RoyalCollection #GreatBritain #British #Thisdayinhistory #D22Jan #TheYear1901 #OnThisDay #Royalhistory #instahistory (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oRxaJg6Ha/?igshid=1u797gb3lct2g

On This Day In History . 9 August 1902 . King Edward VII & Alexandra of Denmark were crowned King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. . . ◼ When Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901, Edward became King of the United Kingdom, Emperor of India &, in an innovation, King of the British Dominions. He chose to reign under the name Edward VII, instead of Albert Edward the name his mother had intended for him to use declaring that he did not wish to "undervalue the name of Albert" & diminish the status of his father with whom the "name should stand alone" . ◼ Edward's coronation had originally been scheduled for 26 June, but two days before on 24 June, he was diagnosed with appendicitis. Appendicitis was generally not treated operatively & carried a high mortality rate, but developments in anaesthesia & antisepsis in the preceding 50 years made life-saving surgery possible. Sir Frederick Treves (famous for caring for John Merrick, 'The Elephant man'), with the support of Lord Lister, performed a then-radical operation of draining a pint of pus from the infected abscess through a small incision (through 4½ inch thickness of belly fat & abdomen wall); this outcome showed thankfully that the cause was not cancer. . ◼ The next day, Edward was sitting up in bed, smoking a cigar. Two weeks later, it was announced that the King was out of danger. Treves was honoured with a baronetcy (which Edward had arranged before the operation) & appendix surgery entered the medical mainstream. . ◼ Edward & Alexandra were crowned together at Westminster Abbey on 9 August 1902, Edward by the 80-year-old Archbishop of Canterbury, Frederick Temple, who died only four months later. Alexandra by the Archbishop of York, William Dalrymple Maclagan. . . . #Onthisdayinhistory #thisdayinhistory #Theyear1902 #Coronation #EdwardVII #KingEdwardVII #VintagePhoto #VintagePhotography #Heritage #Britain #UK #WestminsterAbbey #Westminster #Royalhistory #Royalcollection #Historic #onthisday #Kingandqueen #Instahistory #HouseofSaxeCoburgandGotha #AlexandraofDenmark #QueenAlexandra #History #BritishMonarchy #d9aug .

The Order of Merit is an order of merit recognising distinguished service in the armed forces, science, art, literature, or for the promotion of culture. Established in 1902 by King Edward VII, admission into the order remains the personal gift of its Sovereign— currently Edward VII's great-granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II—& is restricted to a maximum of 24 living recipients from the Commonwealth realms, plus a limited number of honorary members. While all members are awarded the right to use the post-nominal letters OM & wear the badge of the order, the Order of Merit's precedence among other honours differs between countries.  . ◼ There may be, however, only 24 living individuals in the order at any given time, not including honorary appointees, and new members are personally selected by the reigning monarch of the realms, currently Queen Elizabeth II, with the assistance of her private secretaries; the order has thus been described as "quite possibly, the most prestigious honour one can receive on planet Earth" . . . #royalfamily #royal #royalty #windsorcastle  #buckinghampalace  #kensingtonpalace #royalwedding #britishroyalfamily #royals #britain #hermajesty #britishroyalty #princecharles #britishroyals #crown #britishmonarchy #godsavethequeen #windsor #unitedkingdom #edwardvii  #princeharry #princewilliam #duchessofcambridge #thequeen #monarchy #katemiddleton #princegeorge #queenvictoria #orderofmerit #queenelizabeth (at Buckingham Palace) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVZxJBFR1H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gbcqof6l9qm
