Upon ascension he became the youngest monarch since the teenage king Edward III from the 18th century. His coronation was held on the 13th May the following year. In 1957, he controversially married Dorothy Powell who was the daughter of Insulaei politician, Theodore Powell. Many citizens feared that the monarchy was being politicised however after 5 months Theodore Powell stepped down as an MP to prevent a constitutional crisis.
