Save as calendar entry"The King's Speech" illustrates the struggles of King George VI. of England due to his stuttering. George VI. is the father of Queen Elizabeth II. and ascended the throne in 1937 after the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII. George VI. suffered from stuttering and was very shy when having to speak in public. After several therapeutic approaches had failed, he followed the recommendation of his wife and visited an Australian speech therapist known for his unorthodox methods.
The movie is based on a true story and tells the story from 1925, when George Vi. had to first his give speech on the radio, until 1939, when the king had to declare the United Kingdoms entry into the Second Word War.
