'''Frederick''' ({{wp|English}}: ''Edward Frederick William''; {{wp|German}}: ''Eduard Friedrich Wilhelm''; {{wp|Dutch}}: ''Eduard Frederik Willem''; 22 November 1895 - 7 July 1951) was {{wp|Monarchy of the United Kingdom|King of the British}}, {{wp|King of Hanover}}, {{wp|King of the Dutch}}, and {{wp|Grand Duke of the Luxembourgers}} from 5 January 1923 to 7 July 1951. He was also the last {{wp|Emperor of India}}, reigning from 1923 to 1947 until the abolition of the {{wp|British Raj}} and its subsequent partition into {{wp|India}} and {{wp|Pakistan}}. Additionally, he is the second {{wp|British}}, {{wp|Dutch}}, and {{wp|Luxembourgish}} monarch to serve as a regent up until his ascension after {{wp|George IV|King William V and II}}, whom had previously served as a regent under the capacity of his father, {{wp|George III|King William IV and I}}.
The eldest son of [[George V and IV of the United Kingdom and of the Netherlands|King George V and IV]] and {{wp|Sophia of Prussia|Princess Sophia of Prussia}}, Frederick was born during the reign of his grandfather, [[George V and IV of the United Kingdom and of the Netherlands|King William VI and III]], during which period, at the age of eighteen, he was married off to the daughter of {{wp|Wilhelm II, German Emperor|Kaiser Wilhelm II}}, {{wp|Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia|Princess Victoria Louise}}, in a last-ditch attempt at preserving the fragile peace between the two nations. Then, while living in temporary exile in {{wp|Sweden}}, Frederick, now the heir apparent to the {{wp|British}}, {{wp|Dutch}}, and {{wp|Luxembourgish}} thrones, oversaw the {{wp|First World War}} which, upon coming to an end in 1918, resulted in the capture and subsequent exile of {{wp|Wilhelm II, German Emperor|Kaiser Wilhelm II}} to the {{wp|British}} island of {{wp|Saint Helena}}. In the meantime, ideological and lifestyle differences, coupled with the deep resentment by {{wp|Princess Victoria Louise of Prussia|Victoria Louise}} over her father's fate at the hands of the victorious {{wp|Allies of World War I|Allies}}, eventually culminated in a state-sanctioned annulment of Frederick's marriage to his wife in 1919. Then, in 1925, he remarried {{wp|Princess Margaretha of Sweden}} in a double wedding with his brother, the [[Prince Frederick, Duke of Clarence and Avondale|Duke of Clarence and Avondale]], whom otherwise married {{wp|Princess Margaretha of Sweden|Margaretha}}'s younger sister, {{wp|Astrid of Sweden|Astrid}}. Together, the couple enjoyed a comparably happier and loving marriage until the end, while also welcoming their only child and daughter together, [[Margaret, Princess Royal]].
Upon ascending to the throne in 1924, Frederick oversaw a rather tumultuous post-war period, which was further aggravated by the occurrence of the {{wp|Great Depression}} in 1929. However, it was during this time that Frederick would later gain much personal acclaim for his efforts in preserving the monarchical institution, amidst rising but small republican and other extreme sentiments across the country. Then, from 1939 to 1945, as {{wp|King of the British|King}}, Frederick oversaw his countries' involvement in the {{wp|Second World War}} against {{wp|Nazi Germany}}, a conflict that would mark the last few years of his reign, and which preceded a rather tumultuous and testy period afterwards marked by anti-colonial rebellions in various {{wp|British}} and {{wp|Dutch}} colonies in {{wp|Asia}}, namely the {{wp|British Raj}} and the {{wp|Dutch East Indies}}. Nonetheless, in 1946, Frederick became the first [[President of the Hanoverian Union]], a politico-economic union comprising the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, the {{wp|Netherlands}}, and {{wp|Luxembourg}}.
On 7 July 1951, at the age of fifty-five, Frederick passed away and was thereafter succeeded by his eldest son and heir apparent, [[Charles the Great|Charles III and I]].
