who famously upset him

[zmudge]

Bognor.

[ali_alic]

Hence his deathbed quote "b*gger Bognor"

[Sequin]

Beau Brummell - asked someone (referring to George V) - "Who's your fat friend?"

[zmudge]

Beau Brummel (George Bryan Brummel) lived and died in the period 1778-1840. George V lived and died in the period 1865-1936. Beau Brummel made his remark about the then Prince Regent who subsequently became George 1V.

[Peter Pedant]

George didnt dislike Bognor, he just didnt want to go there again to recuperate if he recovered - which he didnt.

His official last words were : How goes it with the Empire?

Really important people get two sets of famous last words

and finally, I think Sequin is right and the question is wrong (it should have been about Geo IV)

[jno]

well, if it really was George IV, the answer is more likely to be 'his queen' - he hated her so much he had her locked out of his coronation.

joetodd - there's a book called "Kings, Queens, Bones and Bast**ds" but it doesn't mention anything about King George V being upset by anyone in particular. Notably, he was a small-brained king, (but likeable) who married a very young woman, who produced about 15 children.
