Mary of Teck

Mary of Teck (1867-1953) was the queen consort (wife) of King George V. Mary endeared herself to the British by her homely virtues. In place of the extravagant court of Edward VII, she and her husband lived conservatively. Through their efforts, the monarchy regained the prestige it had enjoyed under Queen Victoria.
