Etymology The name "giraffe" has its earliest known origins in the Arabic word zarāfah (زرافة), ultimately from Persian ز رن اپ ا (zurnāpā), a compound of ز رن ا (zurnā, "flute, zurna") and پ ا (pā, "leg"). In early Modern English the spellings jarraf and ziraph were used, probably directly from the Arabic, and in Middle English jarraf and ziraph, gerfauntz.

Reluctant king
King George V had severe reservations about Prince Edward, saying "After I am dead, the boy will ruin himself in twelve months" and "I pray God that my eldest son will never marry and that nothing will come between Bertie and Lilibet and the throne."
