... a well-kept secret

To The Guardian

In answer to Dr Simon Gibbs, Lord Dawson was not charged with regicide in respect of the death of King George V because no one knew about it. It was only in 1986, when Dawson’s diaries were published, that the involuntary euthanasia came to light. In 1936, the Royal Family and the general public believed that the King had died of natural causes in his sleep. Professor emeritus John Bryant, University of Exeter
