George VI and Prince George, Duke of Kent
Family
Bond strength41/100
strong
Brothers, sons of George V and Queen Mary. The elder — a stammerer who never wanted the crown — took the throne only after his brother Edward abdicated; the younger, the most social of the brothers, served as an airman and died in a military air crash in 1942.
How they met
They never met: they grew up together in the same royal nursery.
The core tension
One carried a crown he never wanted; the other was free of it, and died on active service before the war was won.
