Happy Belated Birthday to His Royal Highness, Prince Edward Duke of York and Albany!

 

 His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany

(25 March 1739-17 September 1767)

Prince Edward was the third child and second son of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales and his wife, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha. Despite being his mother's favourite, he was his older brother, the future King George's constant companion before they had a rift a few years before Edward died. He was an experienced naval officer, one of the first royal Freemasons after his father, and a most popular figure in London's society. He died in self-exile in the Princely Palace of Monaco before he was buried in Westminster Abbey with several of his relations.
