Yes King George Vl (Albert/Bertie) second oldest had 4 brothers and 1 sister. His older brother was Edward Vlll (David) who abdicated the throne leaving George VI to become king in 1937. His sister Mary was third oldest. Next was Henry aka Harry, Duke of Gloucester who lived the longest died in 1974. THen came George (his real name) who was Duke of Kent and died as a young man in the WW2. The youngest sibling and most tragic was John. He suffered from epilepsy and NOT mentally retarded as reported. He was placed away from all to live in Sandringham under the care of a nanny. His siblings weren't allowed to visit him and his parents King George V and Princess Mary of Teck- both terrible parents- not unexpected rarely visited. He died at age 15 in 1919. John was the subject of a recent movie : "The Forgotten Prince"
