Elizabeth & George VI (2024) 

Who cares if he doesn’t have his brother’s glamour and charm. King Georges stepped up to the plate despite of all his challenges. That’s sacrifice . He proved to be a greater man in the end

Lucky man King was. Such a wife.. Once he told to his daughter. " Mummy as you know is the most marvelous person in the world to me". He had not a long life but he was a happy one because of her and princesses.

As an American, I have a great deal of respect for King George and Queen Elizabeth. Class acts. The King was a fine example of a man who didn't want to lead but rose to the occasion and became the leader to fit the time. A leader the people needed. They also raised a fine queen in Queen Elizabeth II who spent nearly her entire life in service. A life not of her own. I suspect he was a better King that his foolish and Selfish brother would have been.

It's amazing, to me, that three Monarchs, George V, George Vi and Queen Elizabeth II, were not meant to rule, yet they made great Monarchs. George VI, compared to Edward VIII, was a Godsend.

I can understand and I know what's like to STUTTER, He's SHY,he wasn't groomed to be King, and he wasn't EXPECTED to be King, I admire King George VI,he and I have something in common, we BOTH STUTTER, I have the movie THE KING'S SPEECH Blessings and HUGS 👑💜

Marriage made the difference between the two brothers The Prince of Wales and The Duke of York.

I love theBritish Royal family and always have, love this documentary, thank you ❤️🌹

Alex said, "King George V's four sons. There were FIVE sons. Prince John died as a young teen, so, perhaps you should have said, "four SURVIVING sons".

Queen Mary, was the greatest queen! I pray her children will learn from her. May she rest in peace!❤

King George and Queen Elizabeth’s courage in staying in London and going to bombed out areas of London boosted public morale and helped to save Western civilization from Hitler during WWII. We survivors owe the monarchs and Winston Churchill a debt of gratitude for their bravery.

King George the Great ... our wartime. monarch.

I want to love these documentaries, but the background music overrides everything

What a wonderful man, and what a terrific King, I have always adored King George (Bertie). He saved the monarchy, because I feel if his brother hadnt stepped down it would of led the people and the government to remove him and the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother had such tremendous grace and was elegant, and had a radiance that I dont feel any other woman who has married into the family has had.

There was this ...(and granted, I believe the united kingdom was better off without him).....then margaret couldn't marry peter townsend because he was divorced. add to that , Prince charles wanted to marry Camilla FIRST.....even though she had a "past"...and "they " wouldn't hear of it. he had to marry a virgin!! in that day and age!!! so now we have a king who was divorced, married to a queen who's divorced. good lord

What is with the music? So detracting from the documentary.

I remember when this came out. And I remember be shocked and following and being stunned and sicken at the same time.

I don't think she was jealous of Mrs Simpson, she wasn't jealous of the other mistresses, if it was a love based jealousy.

Ditch the background music. It’s annoying and distracting.

Love Queen Elizabeth & her mother.

The Queen mum had a beautiful smile? Go look again. Gezz

It's actually been said by many sources that the opposite was true. As much as she liked Bertie, Elizabeth didn't want to marry into the royal family at all because she felt her lifestyle would be limited by it. She had an interest in another man who her parents and Albert worked behind the scenes to get rid of. She eventually gave in because people drove home the point (which should have been true) that she wouldn't become queen and there would be far less scrutiny on her household. Her parents were definitely interested in her marrying into the royal family, and her mother may have wanted her to marry the Prince of Wales, but they were willing to take what they could get.

David was like any other self-indulgent brat, relishing his privileges and chafing at responsibility. Wallis was not courageous but merely irreverent. She played fast and loose until it finally caught up with her. Who puzzles me is Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon and her motto about duty. It makes perfect sense that she would be appalled at the Wallis and David affair. And that no less because it would compel her reluctant husband to the throne which then contributed to his premature demise. It seems a contradiction that she later facilitated the adultery between Camilla and Charles. Where was her sense of duty in that?

Bertie was the better man despite the stutter and lack of charisma. He was a grown up who knew how to do his duty. Thank God in heaven Wallis saved us from Edward VIII, I do not think he would have made a good king given the events that followed. We had the war time king we needed.

Typo correction: Helped with Winston Churchill to save Western civilization from the WWIi tyranny of Germany.

George VI was pne of the great king

Wow that headshot picture of Edward and Bertie together….Elizabeth looked just like him at the same age! (13:17)

A good video. I am familiar with the British monarchy history 1066 - 1952, but there are some things here that I found interesting and new. Regarding King George & Queen Mary's children, there is one seldom mentioned, as he was unwell and died very young. I would recommend "The Lost Prince" movie (presuming the writers kept it fairly historically accurate).

🎉Blessings Family 🎉

This was very interesting, though occasionally biased and inaccurate. For example, the Royal Family were subjected to rations and cuts just like everyone else, and their usual spending on food, clothes, fuel and entertaining was drastically altered. A good source for this is THE LITTLE PRINCESSES by Marion Crawford. The British public really took the Royal Family to their hearts during the war, especially after they were bombed at Buckingham Palace.

So many of these so-called "Commentators" seem to indulge themselves in speculation, especially that Alex Larman Fellow!

Of all the new releases on he same old stories that was a good improvement.

If you read Clarissa Dickson Wrights autobiography, she writes that her Father: Arthur Dickson Wright was a Royal Surgeon and that he had said Edward VIII had a micro peen...with little or no chance of procreating.

"Glamis" is pronounced GLAMS

Elizabeth and Phillip were touring the Empire, not just Kenya. Kenya is just where they were.

Little Bertie is so like the late Queen at that age.

29:04 Her Majesty, Queen Mary was the King’s mother NOT the Queen mother..... Elizabeth Bowes Lyson had the title as The Queen-Mother.

Kronor ( svenska ) - Kronen ( deutsch ) - Crown ( english )

But in that day, being lovie dovie was kept out of all conversation and never spread about even to their children

Also bear in mind values in society were far more traditional back then I think there something to say for that but those can evolve with time

‘The Crown’ is not historical fact. Read some good biographies. Try the James Pope-Hennessy bio of Queen Mary for instance.

The title is confusing…should add Edward and Wallis to it

Helped with Winston Churchill western civilization from the tyranny of Germany.

I am not a harry fan at all but I do believe that William was not a good big brother. Harry has adhd which is a disorder involving emotional regulation. We are very sensitive and I think William either didn’t care or didn’t understand. And I’m not sure harry even understands himself. ADHD affects all aspects of our lives. It’s not just little boys who can’t sit still

Why do you need the nauseating music!

they both look so old.

'Glamis' is pronounced 'Glaams'

C est dingue pourquoi en anglais mieux en Français,

The music is AWFUL! Would have loved to watch this, too off-putting.

Didn’t the values work out well for QE2. Move with the times or die.

The music is ANNOYING

David was not a good guy 🇨🇦

?Principaled? Wallis Simpson? She had an extra marital affair with Edward, Prince of Wales and accepted expensive jewels and other gifts from a man not her husband. I don't call that "principaled". Wow, this documentary is very slanted in sympathy with Edward VIII (Duke of Windsor) indeed. Although Princess Margaret was definitely a favorite of her father, it was his wife Queen Elizabeth who was able to calm George when he was experiencing his rages and anxieties. Margaret. Margaret was too selfish to play that type of role with her Father. Margaret was also too young initially to be at her Father's side and play that type of role with him. Not the same as his wife Queen Elizabeth, later known as the Queen Mother. It seems like this documentary is trying to rewrite history. It wasn't "luck" that caused King George to overcome his shyness and stammer and gain the love of his people. It was sheer hard work and determination and the commitment and support of his wife and family that resulted in his success. How insulting to say that George had "luck" as a primary factor of his success.

The Queen Mary was to blame for the failure of the Duke of Windsor to MARRY appropriately as the Prince of Wales.

Why did she become so overweight so young? The late Queen did not and she had children in her late 30s.

What is WRONG with you Yanks? You always get Royalty wrong. The Monarch is always named first.... it is George and Elizabeth. Sheesh.

He has the look of a drinker.

Some of this is nonsense.

Edward was a weird little man physically and emotionally. The world had a lucky escape when he was kicked off the throne and sent into exile. The nonsense you spout about him is ridiculous.

The RF somehow seems not to want a 'King Albert', perhaps as a reaction against Queen Victoria's husband - Albert, the Prince Consort. Edward VII and George VI (son and grandson of Victoria and Albert respectively) were both named Albert, and both refused to use it as their regnal name.

Why is the host/commentator who is sitting on a chair, making a Illuminati hand signal?!? Weird!🤔
