I will always sympathise with a King who's not only warm with his nation but with his family as well.
A fine man. Excellent smile/laugh at 0:57. Also nice to see with all the politicians he’s standing at the back with Winston Churchill
He did his duty with dignity, love, and empathy...he was a fine man.
Americans sadly we don't know how important having an explempar head of state like King George VI was to the British Empire in WW2. Having a non political head of state is sadly lacking these days in my country the USA especially in these recent crazy 5-6 years or so
Brilliant
0:57 looks exactly like King Edward VIII.
Some interesting clips that aren't normally seen. could the uploader alter the title though....it implies that the king was still loving his family seven years after he died
The two Princesses didn't in 1940 as they were evacuated to Windsor-Castle Presumably on both the Government and the Monarch orders,and it wasn't till 1945 that Princess Elizabeth was finally admitted into the ATS the Women's Part of the Army
heleadthewaytovictory!!..
I could be wrong but did they just said “The King announce the engagement of his daughter to her cousin” ????? I JUST KNOW THEY GOT THAT PART MIXED UP‼️‼️‼️
Yes. Why?
The Queen and Prince Philip were third cousins
