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
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.
Queen Elizabeth behind the scenes was a very racist, mean & selfish woman. Nothing like Princess Diana and the future Queen Catherine whom both woman are honest, decent woman.
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.
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.
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.
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 👑💜
I worked with a man , about 30 years older than me who had a "stutter". He too was an un-assuming man ,BUT my God ,if he had something to say ,we heard it alright. He used to turn things on its head , "I dont stutter , I just repeat myself so it sinks into your thick heads ." He was a HUGE influence on us . One thing that was picked up on ,he didnt like anyone finishing a sentence for him . Although as a youngster I respected that, its only in the last few years I think I began to understand why. Hes long gone now , if there is such a thing as "calling " from the beyond, ,I dont care how many attempts it takes him. Theres a dozen apprentices owe this man...........perhaps he taught us twice.
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".
How good to see that someone knows this history. So many people haven't got a clue - even aboout recent events. I recall visitors to one of the Royal residences commenting about a painting of The Royal Family and they said, "Ah, Princess Margaret. Now you don't hear much about Her these days." My reply - "That's probably because She has been dead for years."
@2024mhs There was an elderly lady who lived at Wolferton and she used to play with Prince John when she was a little girl. Fascinating to chat to her.
@2024mhs I remember when HRH Princess margaret died and HM The Queen Elizabeth (The Queen Mother) was at Sandringham. The helicopter arrived and landed on the East Lawn to take HM back to London for Her daughter's funeral. We put the little steps out and Fred was helping HM into the helicopter. He put the rug around her legs and when She was settled, he said, "We'll see you soon Ma'am." She said, "No, I won't be back." The helicopter lifted off and circled around the Park (gardens) twice and then turned and set off towards London. It seemed She must have known then end was near.
@2024mhs I watched a story about him on PBS titled, The Lost Prince, I cried when he got to have his recital and when he passed away! His nanny/governess really did love him. I think her nickname was Lalla! Glad others remember him! Patricia Gambino Harrington
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.
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.
I have great respect for him. He honored his vows to his wife & family. He wanted to do whatever he wanted, but he knew what was right & he chose to do that instead of being selfish like his brother.
@@JGJGAGSG I don't agree. Queen Alexandra was kinder. Anyway, Mary produced David who was a wimp who could not understand duty and Bertie who stammered so badly the poor child could hardly speak. Fortunately when Bertie became King he had a wife who loved him and her children.
@@LadyCat183 Alexandra was a rare exception to the rule. Most aristocratic/royal parents saw their children an hour each day. Moreover, there is strong evidence that Mary and George V children has nannies that were very abusive
?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 sugary comments about Wallis Simpson are a fantasy. She was a total parvenu and humiliated her husband in public by conducting an adulterous affair in front of his face. What's principled about that? She and her socialite waster friends, publicly ridiculed Bertie and his family and she was regarded by many in upper class circles as vulgar and ill mannered. We were well rid of her and her nazi loving Duke. The Duke of York made a far better king than that selfish waster ever would have.
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.
@@taiikomochiyuurichin1459 The one that got away was the definitely the son of a wealthy man and was expected to join the family business. They weren't as wealthy as the Royal family but she would have been fine.
@@taiikomochiyuurichin1459 Because the Royal family apparatus arranged it behind the scenes. He and his family were "talked into it". Read Hugo Vickers biography.
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
“In that day and age”??? Do you mean the 1980’s? lol. Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip, and the Queen Mother forced (then) Prince Charles to marry Diana and are, therefore, responsible for the misery in their marriage and Diana’s death.
I'm always surprised that the King's stutter wasn't corrected as a child. My mother only needed a few "nice words", if you know what I mean, to correct that, and at school there was a teacher who took away points for stuttering, filler words, and more, so with a little cruelty anything is possible.
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?
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.
What absolute rubbish. They made a big show of Elizabeth’s wedding gown coupons and ignored that no other guest had to bother! Plus they’ve got so much in their achieves. The veil for example is very old. They were exempt from everything as the released papers show. As does,the Royal assent which well never see.
@@Kate-lk6tw Royal-Family-Hatred is a thing in Britain, I get it, but the vast majority still want them, so maybe channel that energy into something useful. Just a suggestion.

@@Kate-lk6tw The mother-in-law of the Queen consort is not the Queen-Mother. Queen-Mother was a title given to Queen Elizabeth the Queen consort by an Act of Parliament to distinguish her from her daughter, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Sovereign.
@2024mhs I strongly disagree with you even though I was delighted to express the correct information to many ill-informed persons including you…… So, it was a pleasure!
I believe King Edward aka David truly thought that though he would advocate and his brother would step in his place that when all the dust settled he would be able to resume duties as a hidden consigliere to the king his brother and carry no without the heavy responsibility . Of course that all backfired and as we all witnessed lived a life of uselessness! Wallis included!
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. Also, the British Royal Family had a German branch. The Crown Prince of Germany Wilhelm was a Nazi. It could have been just knowledge from the German Cousins that lead to the bombing of Bucks House during WW2. Though Edward VIII was a Nazi sympathizer. It could have been other family members that gave the necessary intelligence.
I start to wonder if George 6, was a wee bit autistic, although we didn't know that word, at that time. 🤔. If one knows anything about autism, one knows that they are intelligent, emotional, feeling, and able to problem solve in a rational manner. Wait for it.. M
Too bad Wallis never loved the Prince....it was a game she and her husband were playing but didn't get out in time so she had to live with her mistakes and take her karma for the rest of her life
I have a theory that the late Edward VIII was pretty similar in character to the current Prince Henry. As such, can he be relied upon to comment on his parents?
queen elizabeth may not have had the best figure but she style of dress was outstanding. the custom made white dress she wore in france stirred a commotion. they loved it. "she had no style" you say???? i can't believe you!!
As far as I’m concerned the better man took the throne. Thanks Wallis, especially if Edward was a Nazi collaborator and not just sympathizer. It’s scary to think how ww2 would have gone with a Nazi sympathizer on the English Throne. Which begs the question, could Churchill have conducted a war DESPITE the king?
Thanks to Winston we stepped in and helped during your time of need as you have done for us. I think the best person ever to come from that palace was Princess Diana the Queen of our hearts. She will never be forgotten.
I don't think it took an insider telling where the King and Queen were inside Buckingham Palace to almost get them killed. The bombers didn't have targeting systems like we do now. They looked out a window and pushed a button to drop bombs, and hoped they hit the target. They often missed.
I missed a lot of this. The music was an utter distraction, and Alex's voice was so annoying to me that I fast forwarded through most of what he said. From what I did see, y'all liked David really a lot. Bertie, not so much - he lucked into Elizabeth, and he lucked into WWII, or he wouldn't have been well liked at all. Is that about right?
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
@AliceFeld-d6b that family was set up to end up in this situation. Their style of emotional development although to Elizabeth works well with being distant is not the best for those with adhd especially after the death of a parent. Can't expect Harry to get from his windsors what he needed if that is all he had to rely on. You never know what's missing until you start recovery.
In the trinity we worship are the three chiefs who rule over the first second- and third-dimensions people. Unfortunately, now the world is controlling by the ruler of third dimension. therefore, he is trying to take all powers of first dimension peoples and give to third dimension people. I am King George VI and these third-dimension ruler who has come to the earth as Sai baba in India gave me a wrong judgment to me after my death and gave me a very poor women birth in Sri Lanka which we colonial ruled county. This demonic spirit do very powerful witchcraft and I feel I had some weakness when I lived, because of his witchcraft power, I have seen some Indian video clips that he is doing witchcraft against British people to chess them out from India
I agree. She was so against his choice and let everyone knew. She wasn’t very supportive and loving with her children. I agree she was a great Queen, but not as a mother. Plus King George was cold toward his kids. With two parents that way. I feel bad for the kids
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.
Lol...well, we don't do the whole Royalty here and, ladies first. 😊 This Yank had a great deal of Respect for old George VI. The man rose to the occasion and did do well. I also admired hos daughter. I would have been proud to meet both. But, I could never have bowed to them. I am a son of the Revolution and my ancestors on my mother's side are from Great Britain. A country I'm very happy to be allied with. But, I am also a patriot and love my country very much and...we don't have royalty and we don't bow to those with Royal title. Honestly, I fear my nation is sliding toward an elite ruling class and much like an aristocracy. To many here have either forgotten or never learned why we cast old Mad King George III aside. They have forgotten why we have our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I also worry about the UK today. Our political class currently are once again pitting us against each other so that they can protect their power and their wealth as well as for the elite ruling class. Yes, we do get or wrong because...we just don't do that. Hopefully, it stays that way
Now by self,i haven't seen newphews or antie there' lady look like antie Anna but idk Boston ma I'm confuse i was13 year old last time i was there Know 55
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.
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

Kronor ( svenska ) - Kronen ( deutsch ) - Crown ( english )
Describing Simpson as 'principled' is laughable. If she had actually been so, she never would have been involved with Edward.
The Queen mum had a beautiful smile? Go look again. Gezz
Don’t look too hard!
But in that day, being lovie dovie was kept out of all conversation and never spread about even to their children
queen elizabeth may not have had the best figure but she style of dress was outstanding. the custom made white dress she wore in france stirred a commotion. they loved it. "she had no style" you say???? i can't believe you!!
I wonder like the video said bombing the palace was targeted and who told where the girls would be?
As far as I’m concerned the better man took the throne. Thanks Wallis, especially if Edward was a Nazi collaborator and not just sympathizer. It’s scary to think how ww2 would have gone with a Nazi sympathizer on the English Throne. Which begs the question, could Churchill have conducted a war DESPITE the king?
So many of these so-called "Commentators" seem to indulge themselves in speculation, especially that Alex Larman Fellow!
We saw The Crown. We know everything.
Helped with Winston Churchill western civilization from the tyranny of Germany.
Thanks to Winston we stepped in and helped during your time of need as you have done for us. I think the best person ever to come from that palace was Princess Diana the Queen of our hearts. She will never be forgotten.
I don't think it took an insider telling where the King and Queen were inside Buckingham Palace to almost get them killed. The bombers didn't have targeting systems like we do now. They looked out a window and pushed a button to drop bombs, and hoped they hit the target. They often missed.
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
Societies aren’t singular. Bloomsbury was also going on at this time. Bohemianism existed.
The title is confusing…should add Edward and Wallis to it
1966 born there in france
David was not a good guy 🇨🇦
WHEN YOU,RE THAT RICH THERE IS NO SACRIFICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I missed a lot of this. The music was an utter distraction, and Alex's voice was so annoying to me that I fast forwarded through most of what he said. From what I did see, y'all liked David really a lot. Bertie, not so much - he lucked into Elizabeth, and he lucked into WWII, or he wouldn't have been well liked at all. Is that about right?
We would not have her. The second.. 11
Edward and Simpson wife are captain ❤ when i born
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
Harry is a bully! I have ADHD & I'm kind.
@@marypatterson471You are one person who has nothing like the pressures Harry has endured. What an egomaniac. Be like me! No thank you
@AliceFeld-d6b that family was set up to end up in this situation. Their style of emotional development although to Elizabeth works well with being distant is not the best for those with adhd especially after the death of a parent. Can't expect Harry to get from his windsors what he needed if that is all he had to rely on. You never know what's missing until you start recovery.
@@marypatterson471 really? Or just unaware of himself.
I have never heard that Harry has been diagnosed ADHD. However, I am sure if he has that it does not excuse his lies and betrayal.
Yet we had a WILLIS copy on the throne now COWILLA
I despair at the commentators they invite to do these so called documentaries. They seem to have no sense of history!
The music is AWFUL! Would have loved to watch this, too off-putting.
I don’t mind it because it makes the vid free. You expect everything for free don’t
@@Kate-lk6tw no, actually I pay for UA-cam premium every month so I don't have to see ads. Kind of presumptuous of you...
Why do you need the nauseating music!
To keep it free, because copyright would see it removed if found. We like things free but we complain about measures to keep it so
The music is ANNOYING
But the vid being free is great
@@Kate-lk6tw I can't listen to it free or not, there's no reason to have that distracting annoying sound.
Sounds like Megan & Harry. Megan was married twice, Harry abdicated his royal duties selfishly!
In the trinity we worship are the three chiefs who rule over the first second- and third-dimensions people. Unfortunately, now the world is controlling by the ruler of third dimension. therefore, he is trying to take all powers of first dimension peoples and give to third dimension people. I am King George VI and these third-dimension ruler who has come to the earth as Sai baba in India gave me a wrong judgment to me after my death and gave me a very poor women birth in Sri Lanka which we colonial ruled county. This demonic spirit do very powerful witchcraft and I feel I had some weakness when I lived, because of his witchcraft power, I have seen some Indian video clips that he is doing witchcraft against British people to chess them out from India

The Queen Mary was to blame for the failure of the Duke of Windsor to MARRY appropriately as the Prince of Wales.
Queen Mary was a great queen !
How do u figure this out?
I agree. She was so against his choice and let everyone knew. She wasn’t very supportive and loving with her children. I agree she was a great Queen, but not as a mother. Plus King George was cold toward his kids. With two parents that way. I feel bad for the kids
Wallis would havw been a disaster for England.
‘The Crown’ is not historical fact. Read some good biographies. Try the James Pope-Hennessy bio of Queen Mary for instance.
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.
What is WRONG with you Yanks? You always get Royalty wrong. The Monarch is always named first.... it is George and Elizabeth. Sheesh.
Lol...well, we don't do the whole Royalty here and, ladies first. 😊 This Yank had a great deal of Respect for old George VI. The man rose to the occasion and did do well. I also admired hos daughter. I would have been proud to meet both. But, I could never have bowed to them. I am a son of the Revolution and my ancestors on my mother's side are from Great Britain. A country I'm very happy to be allied with. But, I am also a patriot and love my country very much and...we don't have royalty and we don't bow to those with Royal title.
Honestly, I fear my nation is sliding toward an elite ruling class and much like an aristocracy. To many here have either forgotten or never learned why we cast old Mad King George III aside. They have forgotten why we have our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I also worry about the UK today. Our political class currently are once again pitting us against each other so that they can protect their power and their wealth as well as for the elite ruling class.
Yes, we do get or wrong because...we just don't do that. Hopefully, it stays that way
Pourquoi ils ont jamais eu d autre enfants ce n est pas la vrai vie du roi tout est romantisme

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.
He has the look of a drinker.

Why did she become so overweight so young? The late Queen did not and she had children in her late 30s.
The woman lived to be 103. She outlasted many a skinnier person. Who cares why she got fat. It happens.
People just get fat. It’s a thing. If she’d had grown another head then I’d be asking questions.
Didn’t the values work out well for QE2. Move with the times or die.
Why is the host/commentator who is sitting on a chair, making a Illuminati hand signal?!? Weird!🤔
