George VI

George VI was the King of the United Kingdom from 1936 to 1952. He succeeded his elder brother, Edward VIII, after Edward's abdication on 10 December 1936. George VI was succeeded by his daughter, Elizabeth II, in 1952. (PROSE: Players)

When the Doctor found that Edward VII had disappeared along with Balmoral Castle in 1902, he warned that the future of the royal family, along with the rest of history, was threatened. He said that, along with the rest of his successors, there would be no George VI. (PROSE: Revenge of the Judoon)

King George VI died in late 1951 or perhaps early 1952, although a 26 November 1959 issue of The Herald thought otherwise. (PROSE: Loving the Alien)
