"I am better known to most of you as the Prince of Wales - as a man who, during the War and since, has had the opportunity of getting to know the people of nearly every country of the world, under all conditions and circumstances. And, although I now speak to you as the King, I am still that same man who has had that experience and whose constant effort it will be to continue to promote the well-being of his fellow-men." - From the Empire Broadcast by His Majesty King Edward VIII.
