George VI of the United Kingdom
Illness
The war had taken its toll on the King's health. This was exacerbated by his heavy smoking and subsequent development of lung cancer. Increasingly Princess Elizabeth, his daughter and heir presumptive to the Throne, would take on more of the royal duties as her father's health deteriorated.
