I think the doctor's action was a not uncommon practice intended to reduce the patient's suffering when they were clearly terminal. What is unusual is Lord Dawson recorded his intervention in his diary.
@@giselematthews79491936 was hardly the turn of the century but I understand your point. Still, the very idea of taking it upon yourself to end someone's life so it's reported in the more appropriate morning newspaper, smacks of reckless homicide. I'm glad the family didn't know; it may have added buckets of unnecessary grief.
@@wistfulvictoriaI honestly believe many of the latest monarchs were administered something to help with the agony of suffering, I could be wrong but even Queen Elizabeth II it happened so fast. Almost like it was planned after she made her 70 year reign mark.
May King George V rest in peace ❤
I liked her. She endured a lot in her lifetime. I would be interested in knowing her will contents. Anyone know about it?
She didnt go through more than George V did. He was the head of state, not her. He had more responsibilities
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 love Mary!!! may she rest in eternal peace 😢😢😢
This is so sad 😔

Queen Mary was helped in her way out as well to avoid delaying the coronation of her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth the II.
