An autograph letter signed “George” on “WindsorCastle” letterhead accepting an invitation from “Sir Frederick”: “Ishall have much pleasure in coming to the Royal Academy dinner on Saturday 4thof May. I kept that night free as I thought it would be the night of yourbanquet…George”. At this time, George was second in the line ofsuccession behind his grandmother Queen Victoria, who would reign until 1901,and his father King Edward VII, whose short reign would end in 1910 and seeGeorge crowned King George V.
