This is such a tragic part of the history of the British Royal Family. I have been moved to tears by the facts of his life before today... A blood cousin of mine had an epileptic fit and choked to death on his eighteenth birthday. I was adopted at birth, so I never knew him. May they both rest in peace.
Johnny was buried separate from other members of the family - he is on his own, outside the church. Even in death they hid him......so unfair, so cold and heartless. Typical of those times. Even Joe Kennedy and his family tried to hide their daughter from the public.
@LadyMountbatten, what a fabulous tribute to a 'lost prince'.. the picture at 1.15 is so lovely it brought tears to my eyes... And Johhnie had such a lovely smile...
the music is beautifully moving too ... Many thanks for uploading this little snippet of hidden history. Best regards from Wales :0)x
Very moving. Lovely work on this tribute to these two long ago yet never forgotten princes. I like to think that Johnny and his big brother Georgie have long since reunited in a better place.

@sno0323 No, "Georgie" is George Duke of Kent, who did not become King. Albert "Bertie" was the second son who became King George VI.

@corky7ca because back then the only way a woman could inherit the throne is if there were no boys to inherit it

Princess Mary looked like she was the oldest so why did Prince Edward become king instead of her?
