as a person who stammers he is now the person I look up to
Why not? A stammer doesn’t mean he didn’t have great ideas and things to say, just that he had trouble getting them out. There are people without stammers who have other trouble expressing ideas.

I guess the internet and being able to type cures that for you
Sad convinced him that smoking would help in changing that, but in the contrary, only influenced in giving him cancer due to the amount of cigarettes that he smoked
@@gvelosa89 totally different times back then when smoking was seen as a normal social pastime.
As someone who has a phobia of public speaking, King George VI is a role model for his determination to overcome his stammer. His sense of duty was definitely passed onto the Queen.
What makes him a legend, to me anyway
@amazingfilms3 Henry II is up there, he gave us Common Law, the foundation of the law in the country
I hope King George VI is burning in Hell with Charlemagne, King Henry I, King John I, King Henry III, King Edward I, Margaret Beaufort, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Marie de Medici, King Louis XIV, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

Outstanding man, a man who I greatly admire, may he rest in eternal peace, we remember you, King George VI, never forgotten.
Do you think Lionel Logue was in the room with him?
you are probably dead now/... OH wait you're young,... weirdo.
How can you unironically admire someone who was royalty? They do little but take and take
@@Caoimhin1909 you probably never heard of this guy until this video popped up. am I right?
@@JALC-x Nah, I definitely knew of him before, don't worry.
"Bertie has more courage than the rest of you together," King George V about his second son, the Duke of York & future King George VI.
As an American, I admire King George Vi, he stepped up to the burden and challenges it took to care of his country. He had to do it and despite his personal challenges, he overcame them and persevered. Truly a remarkable man and a great king!
A son with speech problems due to a tough violence father. The family saw no urgency in correcting and fixing his stammer simply because he is not the future king. Beside that they did not prepare him to be a king since childhood in many aspects. He never get to be a leader or used to it even within the family. Despite all that, surprisingly snd amazingly, he became the King over a night. Additionally, he had to deal with World War. For all these reasons, he did an amazing great speechless job.
What a King! Rest in Peace Your Majesty.
Fine man and King. He took his time in his speech somewhat haltingly and I think effective pauses. You can tell he's truly sincere and means every single word. He clinches it.
I hope King George VI is burning in Hell with Charlemagne, King Henry I, King John I, King Henry III, King Edward I, Margaret Beaufort, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Marie de Medici, King Louis XIV, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧
His best speech ever!
An eerie incredible video
When I was young, I was always told to not ask my grandfather about the war. I was around 10 or so.. I remember asking him - Why did you go to fight? And he said “I went for my king…”.
Being from Australia and a 90s kid, fighting for a king was something only I’d seen in medieval times or movies & it was a funny concept…
My pop passed away around 15 years ago, but his signed poster of the king was one for his & my nan’s most prized processions. I’m glad we still have it…
After the passing of Queen Elizabeth recently, I hope Charles will be half the man that King George IV was.
Tell me this which country had the biggest contribution to world war 2 that was the reason for nazi germanys defeat
@@xplicitgoofy1015 it was the Soviet Union without a doubt however it cannot be denied that the support of his majesty the king throughout the commonwealth kept the free world going strong, definitely after Dunkirk where Britain stood alone in Europe.
@@jackmountcastle538 thank you for recognizing the Soviet effort during the war because in the USA some teachers don’t recognize the Soviet unions effort during the war and I respect that you understand their war effort and I agree with you
George IV was the Prince Regent, I believe this is George VI
@@xplicitgoofy1015 no problem mate, as much as the Soviet Union was an evil dictatorship and all that we should be grateful for all the soldiers of the red army as they suffered the most casualties
a great person to look up to
If you notice his eyes look just like his daughter the queen when she was young may she rest in peace
Thats queen victorias eyes
@@Minceontoast2 Actually, Queen Victoria's eyes were wide set and even bulged out a little. Queen Elizabeth II's eyes were close set. Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert, the Prince Consort, also had wide set eyes. It seems to be a Hanoverian feature on Victoria's side, as well as on the Prince Consort's side of the family. The close set Windsor eyes came from King George VI's mother Queen Mary, formerly Princess Mary of Teck. Many of her descendants have (or had) her close set eyes. That feature is quite dominant in the Windsor gene pool, since she married into it. Her granddaughter Elizabeth II, her son King Charles III, his son Prince Harry, his granddaughter Princess Charlotte, Princess Anne the Princess Royal, both of her children Peter and Zara, Prince Edward, his daughter Lady Louise and so on. All have (or had) Queen Mary's close set eyes.
Edward VII, George V and all his children including George VI had those eyes. QEII also carried the look. Charles III eyes seem a bit more deepset like his dad.
The king, who is not good at giving speeches, ascended to the throne at a time when Britain needed the king's speeches the most. And he overcame stuttering.
I can’t imagine the relief people must have felt at this time.
I am from the Philippines and as I came to know King George VI through history books and film/TV portrayals about him, I became fascinated about his struggles and triumphs as a man and king. He is truly an admirable reluctant but rightful king.
Queen Elizabeth's II father! When you come to think of it she was a princess in that time and now she's dead, how small and insignificant us human beings really are. Rich or poor,kings and queens or simple subjects we are all the same.
God save the king
Both of them I guess (September 2022)
It's applicable now
ah yes... save a freemason

A truly remarkable man! RIP, Your Majesty!
Watching this film tonight again, I realized that the king's stammering is as big a mountain to conquer as the two dyslectic boys I have taught to read without any technical aids. Both handicaps are very paralysing. I have always been deeply moved by this film; tonight the coin finally dropped.
I wonder if he's looking at Lionel Logue while reading and making the speech like in the movie the king's speech hahaha .
Also, I wish you and everyone the very best of life in every aspect! Good health and longevity and positivity. Love and peace! 😇🙏🙏🙏
@@Jason.cbr1000rr Yes, he did. They studied all material before they made the film.
@@anna-lenameijer9942 ok thanks for replying. Regarding your comment and boys. I wish you and everyone the very best of life in every aspect! Good health and longevity and positivity and prosperity. Love and peace 😇🙏
"Bertie, you're the bravest man I know."
The Lionel’s words. His doctor and… his best friend
Now, his grandson is The King.
And im realizing that Charles sounds just like him
@@aztecwrrior1997 they genuinely sound nothing alike
Present king will never serve his country like his grandfather. He won’t call the nation to prayer, seeking Almighty God. We must take up the task.
I’m neither a Royalist or an anti Royalist, but I always remember the love and admiration my beloved nana had for ‘The King’ (King George V1) because of the support him and his wife gave them during WW2 😢
King George VI was a great man. He inspired courage to the citizens of UK and would go in the streets of London after a Nazi blitz and help move rubble out of the way. Very different man than his brother Edward. Sorry he died so young.
He was a great king and a good man
@@tardistime6857 agreed
His late Majesty had a fine, deep voice. I truly admire how he worked so hard to overcome his speech challenges. Rest in Peace sir. 👑🤍🙏🤍🕊🕊🕊
late? Maggy he died well over his own lifespan ago. WTF
@@williamcampbell9859 Late means dead
@@platinumpokitaru late means RECENTLY dead.
@@williamcampbell9859Will, WTF, he died less than 70 years ago, not centuries ago from ancient times. I'm still correct. The late Queen Elizabeth II, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, the late King George VI. There's no set time limit! Long dead movie stars and Rock stars are also referred to as 'the late Marilyn Monroe, 'the late Jim Morrison ', 'the late John Lennon', etc., in both books at articles. Got it? Good. If all else fails - Google it before you try playing grammar police! Keep up with the program. 🙄🙄🙄
@@mysticalmargaret6105 late means recently dead you dumb dog. Nobody says the late Marilyn Monroe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's difficult to be a stammerer, and it goes even more hard when you have to give speeches every now and then
My favorite king, King George VI.
I think his majesty time as king is the most difficult in the history of England but his highness handled perfectly
RIP King George VI
1895-1952
His story is ripped right out of Greek tragedy....a stern father, who himself was a second son, an older brother who was a weak and childish man, he became a great leader, dearly beloved
George VI, Elizabeth-Queen Mother, Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret... the entire family all in heaven now sadly. Including of course Prince Phillip, and Princess Diana.
A remarkable man.
Britains war time King George VI. Never ever forgotten. God bless his soul 🙏🙏🙏.
God Bless King George VI. May He Rest in Peace
Kind old king George rip
The late King George now receives his whole family in eternal life. His wife, Queen Elizabeth, his daughter Princess Margaret, his son-in-law, Prince Philip, and finally his eldest daughter, Queen regnant, Queen Elizabeth the second.
I think his good friend Lionel Logue was behind the camera helping His Majesty with the speech
Majesty my arse shut up man
You mean queen regnant? A queen regent is a temporary queen, when the heir to the throne is too young to rule. Queen regnant is the monarch.
Lmao
Queen regnant
A good man. Long live king George VI
He’s not living
what has he done for you?
He’s dead bruv
@@kjn65 What's it to you? 🙄 It's no concern of yours if the late King is still an inspiration for others.
@@kjn65 Lead a generation and part of history leading to the world we know of today? It's not the best we're seeing but not the worst either. Clown stfu
I hope british pathe makes more new videos
Lionel Logue, thank you, for being a king-maker and the creator of an inspiration to many inasmuch as you are an inspiration yourself.
His disability made me think of others (in recent memory, Ivar the Boneless) who had personal battles alongside the world in making the most of it. A feat of admiration in of itself that I'm sure many disabled in some form or another can relate.
My King
i never want anyone to tell me not to look at my notes when i present
A job he never wanted. He was a better king then his brother would have been. And a teacher to Queen Elizabeth ll.
A truly admirable man, God save the king
Hope british pathe makes more new videos
I watch this video several times so that I can understand what King George is VI is saying. It goes without saying that I am not a King. I listen very carefully to what he says. My impression is that he has a very good and accurate understanding of nature and the Universe, higher power and God. I am still learning. My thanks and gratitude to King Geroge VI for taking the time for making this speech and for my having access to watching it.
King George V1 was my favourite king and Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth 2nd my favourite Queen RIP
You got this Bertie. Just talk slow and focus.
It’s a bit more complicated than “talking slow”
Goes to show a man without a diploma done wonders for the king , than any qualified man on the subject. Brilliant speech.😉
What a man! May he forever rest in peace
My second most favorite British monarch behind his daughter and he is probably my most respected.
The Queen had a handsome father i must say
George and Edward were very handsome. Esp Edward. He was very handsome. Not to mention his speech.
The greatest king.
I see the Queen in Him.
This is the first time I’ve heard KGVI, Ben mendelson in darkest hour captures the king so well.
Colin Firth in The Kings Speech as well
I heard this very speech in audio only in 1974.
I hope british pathe will try his best to make more new videos
Mong british pathe cố gắng hết sức mình làm thật nhiều videos mới hơn nữa
I watched the King's Speech.
Mong british pathe làm thật nhiều videos mới hơn nữa
Mong British pathe làm thật nhiều videos mới hơn nữa
It would be nice to watch a version of this that didn't have the constant alternation between sound and silence, caused by the noise-gate. We can stand noise. If you must get rid of it, why not some actual noise-reduction instead of just silencing every split second that isn't speech and allowing all the noise through every time he talks?
Pretty sure this has HM's long pauses edited out, no? Even when he got better at speaking I don't think he was that comfortable with continuously speaking to not take several long pauses
Compared to his father and brother, he’s has a deeper voice.
I wonder if he's looking at Lionel logue behind the camera during the speech like in the movie The Kings speech 🤣
He isn't. Lionel Logue would have been listening on the radio either from an other room of the palace or from home.
@@Noutchka oh ok thanks, ik there were some cases he did though. How do you know?
Thanks Sophie 😃
@@Jason.cbr1000rr it is known that he actually was with the King for all of his wartime speeches. So it’s most likely he was in at least in the room for this speech also.
@@5iveshot170 yeah i agree. I been into history so yeah. It would be he's wife or lionel or a confidant
❤️👍🏼

2:26 always chic&charment!
Had to have been an intimidating task for a man with a speech impediment and was quite self conscious about it
Today it wouldn’t be an issue. So sad what they had to endure. 😢
He was not a stammer.....there are different methods to give speech and not everybody loves to speak so fast, i like this speed of words👍🏻 King’s Speech
Yes he did have a stammer but A speech therapist helped him overcome it.
He had social anxiety which contributed towards his stammer
3:44 "..notOfThisEmpireTheCommonwealthOnly.." saidWithLove..sincerely...GREATNESS!!
Who else just saw & heard Ben Mendelsohn speaking?
He was so young and he leaded good. And not to be suspicious. But he was handsome
Nothing suspicious about admiring other men's beauty.
Hes not as a bad as we thought
That’s cos Lionel Logue helped him and his speech got better.
I love seeing these old news broadcasts. Makes me realise how much nicer England was back then. Even with the war.
Christ what do you mean back then?
It really wasn't. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, it makes you see the past through rose-tinted spectacles.
Hmmm, can you elaborate what you mean by "nicer"
When u say nicer I'm gonna assume you mean less chavs around
When I learned WW2 in school and history channels and all the talking in the past, I never hear anything about the British King during that time.
Is very important person, the king of England
This is an astonishing man. LONG LIVE THE KING 👑!!!✌️From Phillipa Anne Clarke 🧡💚💜☮️☮️✌️🤎✌️

but I respect him.
It seems to me that there are so many people who live on this island of ours who need to hear HM King George VI's speeches, both at the start of hostilities and after VE day. I'm no monarchist but his words are so emotionally charged. Arguments about race/gender/politics/etc seem so far down the list of priorities in September 1945. The recent history of Britain is a story not often told in school. It should be!
Sou monarquista e serei até o fim.
It's a strangely treasonous phenomenon that most people come here to see King George VI stammering rather than the gallant moments when he paid tribute to the heroics of his subjects during the speech.
Speak for yourself.
If anyone who reads this stammers ... Own it... I know it must be hard but it makes you unique and there is nothing worse than being ordinary
