Quote #4
GEORGE V: When I'm dead that boy will ruin himself, this family, and this nation, within twelve months.
King George V is terrified that his eldest son David will destroy the Royal Family as soon as he (George) dies. This is a big problem because family tradition dictates that David has to take the throne even if George prefers Bertie.

BERTIE: Nannies. Not my first nanny, though… she loved David, hated me. When I was presented to my parents for the daily viewing, she'd...

Quote #6
BERTIE: Sweet boy. Epilepsy. And he was "different." Died at thirteen, hidden from view. Too embarrassing for the family. I've been told it's not catching.
