This was to undermine his health for the rest of his life. On July 6. 1918, the Royal pair celebrated their silver wedding, and in November the war ended. In 1919 tragedy came to them with the death of their youngest son, Prince John. Their eldest son, Edward Prince of Wales, was already becoming an extremely popular national figure.
