DeathOn May 6, 1910, Edward was bedridden with bronchitis. He enjoyed his last midday cigar, then suffered heart attacks and died at 11:45pm at Buckingham Palace. On his deathbed, he heard that his horse 'Witch of the Air' had won at Kempton Park. As king, Edward VII proved a greater success than anyone had expected, but he was already an old man and had little time left to learn the role. He ensured that his second son and heir, who would become King George V, was better prepared to take the throne. Edward VII is buried at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Issue
LegacyThe lead ship of a new class of battleships, launched in 1903, was named in his honour. King Edward VII seems to be a popular name for schools in England. One of the largest is King Edward VII Upper School, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire as well as King Edward VII School, Sheffield England, founded 1905 formally Wesley College, Sheffield. A statue of King Edward VII and supporters constructed from local granite stands at the junction of Union Gardens and Union Street, in the city centre of Aberdeen.
1841: His Royal Highness The Duke of Cornwall and The Duke of Rothesay 1841–1901: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales 1901–1910: His Majesty The King Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon, Deputy Grand Master, 1870-1874; Pro Grand Master, 1874-1891 (  24 June 1831 - 29 June 1890), was an English politician and a leading member of the Conservative Party. He was the brother of Auberon Herbert and father of Aubrey Herbert.
H  erbert became the Earl of Carnarvon on the death of his father Henry, in 1849. After taking his degree at Oxford, he began to play a prominent role in the House of Lords. In 1858, he was Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, and in 1866 secretary of state. In 1867 he introduced the British North America Act, which conferred self-government on Canada. Later that year, he resigned over Benjamin Disraeli's Reform Bill, along with Lord Cranborne.
Resuming office in 1874, he endeavoured to confer self-government on South Africa as he had on Canada, but the times were not ripe. He addressed the concept of Imperialism in Africa many times while holding the title. In 1878 he resigned in opposition to Lord Beaconsfield's policy on the Eastern Question; but on his party's return to power in 1885 he became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His short period of office, memorable for a conflict on a question of personal veracity between himself and Charles Stewart Parnell as to his negotiations with the latter in respect of Home Rule, was terminated by another premature resignation. He never returned to office. A  s a statesman his career was marred by extreme sensitiveness; but he was beloved as a man of worth and admired as a man of culture. He was high steward of Oxford University, and president of the Society of Antiquaries.
