I wonder which monarch had the happiest care free reign, Edward VII sounds a good candidate. A constitutional monarch with no mass media to bother him, he ate, drank, hunted, shagged and watched sport a lot.

I'd be tempted to chuck the whole thing as long as I could keep the oatcake business. And the hat, of course. The hat would be a hard red-line.

Edward VIII didn't have it too bad. All the drinking and shagging, finally got the job, said "Stuff this for a game of soldiers" first chance he got and shot off somewhere warm.

Joe Average could only dream of a life in a French chateau with a guaranteed generous dole cheque every year but he cut a sad figure. Who backed the wrong horse and should have been grateful he wasn't shot for treason.
Don't know much about his daily life from 1945 until his death but guess it wasn't too hard. Was he a minor French celeb opening supermarkets wearing a plastic crown?

He'd sold Balmoral and Sandringham to George VI in return for a yearly allowance and still lived with some style. There were overseas trips and he was generally received well by the great and the good.
