You all know the reasons which have impelled me to renounce the throne. But I want you to understand that in making up my mind I did not forget the country or the empire, which, as Prince of Wales and lately as King, I have for twenty-five years tried to serve.
You see things differently at 40 than you do at 31. Especially if you got to 40 the way I did.
I definitely do like change. I don't know if my hairstyles reflect that, but I don't like the same old thing all the time.
