Only a week after returning to Britain, May and George went to Norway for the coronation of George's brother-in-law and sister, King Haakon VII and Queen Maud.
Queen Mary's eldest son, Edward, Prince of Wales, ascended the throne as Edward VIII.
They had six children: Edward, Albert, Mary, Henry, George, and John.
Her mother was Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, the third child and younger daughter of Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Augusta of Hesse-Cassel.
On 9 November 1901, nine days after arriving back in Britain and on the King's sixtieth birthday, George was created Prince of Wales.
Her father was Prince Francis, Duke of Teck, the son of Duke Alexander of Württemberg by his morganatic wife, Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde.
Princess Victoria Mary ("May") of Teck was born on 26 May 1867 at Kensington Palace, London.
Though loyal and supportive of her son, Mary could not comprehend why Edward would neglect his royal duties in favour of his personal feelings.
She was now officially Queen Mother, though she did not use that title and was instead known as Her Majesty Queen Mary.
