Who is Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, later Edward VII from Thunderstruck and what is their importance?

Edward VII ascends the British throne in 1901 upon his mother's death. He rules for roughly a decade. Edward is described as social, sophisticated, and fun-loving, bringing glamor back to public life, something that was missing during the latter part of his mother's reign. His death in 1910 brings the Edwardian period in England to a close.
