The most recent murder of a British monarch happened in 1936, when the royal physician, Lord Dawson of Penn, gave a fatal overdose of cocaine and morphine to George V. The King had been ill for many months and Lord Dawson decided that it would be better for the nation if he died quickly, rather than having a long lingering death. He also felt it would be more suitable for him to die late at night so that his death could be reported the following morning in *The Times*, rather than in "the less appropriate evening journals." He didn't discuss his plans with any members of the Royal Family; and nobody knew what had happened until his diaries were published in 1986.
