King Manuel II (1889-1932) and Auguste Vitória of Hohenzollern (1890-1966)

Did Manuel still live in Kensington Palace?
I found this story that says the following:

"He is making preparations to forsake the temporary abode in Richmond in wich he took up is residence pending his return in triumph to Lisbon, and to take up permanent quarters in the most aristocratic flats in the whole world - Kensington Palace."

"It is in these circumstances that King George has come forward wit an offer of a suite of rooms in Kensongton Palace for Manuel and is mother."

I am reading and have lots of interesting information.

Thanks for posting the clip. Manuel II would have been a much-loved King, I think. Along with Austria's Emperor Karl, Romania's King Mihai and Bulgaria's Tsar Simeon II and Italy's Umberto II, maybe Constantine II as well, he is one of a group of potentially good Kings whose reigns were cut short.
