George VI. The Prince who was never meant to be King.
Terrorised by his father George V and overshadowed by his gregarious elder brother and heir to the throne, Edward.
But following Edward’s shocking abdication, the stammering Prince Albert endeavoured to fulfil his duty to his country, to win over his public, and deal with the chaos wrought by the second world war.
George VI took his rightful place on the throne and led the country out of the darkness, as the first modern king.

God bless his soul.So dutiful was he.I was born more than 50 years after his death,yet I still feel sad over it all.This video helps me mourn his loss to us . His work remains to be of great importance to the lives of many in coming generations
He was a great King, he held an empire together in the biggest war the world had ever seen
I found King George to be far more handsome than his brother.
God surely blessed Britain having George VI as a monarch and his wife Elizabeth during those tough years during WWII
Such dignity, grace and duty. Admirable.
Agreed. 🇺🇸❤️
They all smoked heavily those days, but he had the horrendous stress of public life and WWII to contend with. He might have made it to 70, just like the Duke of Windsor did, if not for the stress. I'm just glad that he got to enjoy the love of his wife and daughters.
I cannot imagine what a toll WWll would have taken on him
King George VI looked way better than Edward VIII, imo. I've been really fascinated by King Edward VII, King George V & VI here lately.
Poor man. He looked shocking as he waved Elizabeth off.
Yes😢he looked as if he knew he wouldn't see her again on this earth.
Very well done! Thank you! From the USA.
I second that! ❤️🇺🇸
For all I knew this history well. I enjoyed this video
Prince Edward looks so much like his Grandfather ❤
Many thanks. Well done!
The cigarette killed the King. He smoked several packs a day.
It killed several in their family, for sure.
@@ErinAbou Even his daughter Princess Margaret.
I bet most of them were smoked during WWII, a war he was not prepared to lead.
Add in the stress of the war. Did not help matters. I mean, you are the leader, facing a destructive force, and you also have a family to consider. What courage that took!
@hippiechick2112 true, that's why it's better to have a council of people, a panel instead of one ruler or something like that, like in Switzerland as far as I know. They have a council taking decisions for the country instead of just one person.
My grandfather was a so called POW inprisoned at London. He told me, how fair he was treated by the english guardians.
I think Prince Edward looks very similiar to his grandfather.
Not to belittle the American visit, but the King and Queen had originally visited Canada, to strengthen British Canadian ties in the event of war with Germany. Canada had lost many men in the first world War and might not declare war again.
George V aka grandpa England was the first modern monarch, he saved, modernized and strengthened the monarchy, he funded the Windsor House. He wasnt the best father, but he loved his children. Read his biographies by Jane Ridley and Alexandra Churchill and stop perpetuating myths. Being a disciplinary father doesnt make you a m.o.nster
I think Bertie’s stammering had more to do with the awful nanny, who was abusive.
@@ErinAbou My goodness, that's certainly possible! They had the nannies from hell, both he and the Duke of Windsor.
Thank you very much 🎉
J’adore son histoire et les films qui s’en découlent
Amazing
What love can do ❤️
Father of our greatest Queen 🙏🏼👑❤
Thank God Elizabeth inherited the throne, not Margaret . Does history sometimes repeat itself ?...
Difference is Margaret was quite clever intellectually unlike Harry. She once said her biggest regret was never being able to go to school
Thank God William will be King! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Hang on! You called him “George,” in the photo of him between his older brother, Edward (David) & younger brother, George! His name was “Albert,” (Bertie), until he came to the throne when he was virtually forced or forcibly “encouraged” to choose his regal name of George, by his mother, Queen Mary, who wanted to honor her deceased husband, & the PM Winston Churchill who thought “Albert,” was too German! However, even after becoming crowned king, he was still called his name, Bertie & not by his title, which was George.
he chose his own regnal name, and chose George to show the continuity of the
Monarchy
he was not forced, every Monarch has to choose a regnal name for the purpose of their reign, and they inform the ascension council of the regnal name they have chosen, Queen Mary was not part of the ascension council and she believe in the Monarchy and how it worked
he chose his regnal name, but he hadn't changed his own name
so he was still Bertie
regnal names are not part of a Monarch's title, his title was HIS MAJESTY, KING GEORGE VI
Churchill was not PM at the time of George VI's accession he was a backbench Tory MP
@@pedanticradiator1491 Stanley Baldwin which many people should know as he dealt with the Edward/Wallis crisis
@@pedanticradiator1491 Quite right. I added that for those who may only remember him as the War time PM only. He was instrumental though for persuading Bertie to take George as his regnal name.
@@jennynasser1 first time I've heard of that I'm surprised Bertie would have taken Churchill's advice at the time as Churchill had supported Edward VIII during the abdication crisis
Queen 👸 Mary ...quite the profile ...impressive ...you draw up a Queen ...it would be Mary ❤
Why did you say that George V died "suddenly"? He had been very ill and Lord Dawson cut short his life.
hardly cut short. He was dying. Dawson just spared him a few hours of pain
I think that was in respect of the ordinary man in the street who was kept in the dark about his sovereign’s health. Just as we were a couple of years ago when we were not told the old Queen was dying from bone cancer! So, yes, the general public and the world did receive a shock & thought it all sudden.
The use of extremely well-known sequences thoroughly outside of historical sequence is eyebrow-raising.
The Crown jewels are the best thing to be there for the future of the monarchy they were given to the monarchy by countries of the World 🌎🌍 who wanted to honor and show gratitude for the future of the rightious way forward and aid ehen needed help with living a great life 🙏🙏🙏
Not Churchill’s real voice.
So the day before the abdication was the “modern” times?
We have a similar story
Kung George VI and the Royal Family could have gone to another country and leave their people but they stayed and fight with their people...the kings brothers and sister and daugther served in the military, even his counsins fought...he was listed as the last King who was actually in the battle during world war 1...historically, the Kings goes to war
❤😊

please seek help?
It was reported that both Australia and New Zealand's Prime Ministers were opposed to Edward marrying Wallis. This is false, l know that the New Zealand Prime Minister said he would support the King in whatever decision he made and the Australian Prime Minister said likewise
Yes it was a lie
Children should be seen and not heard, preferably not seen either. Don’t you know!
What if Edward had given Wallis up. What would they have done.
They would have had a King who was not suited for it. I’m glad the crown went to George. ❤️👑
❤😊😅🎉
Hi I'll win us happy birthday 🎂 honors book 📚 oh my goodness our king 👑 Henry 8 prince Arthur king 👑 Charles 2 born 🥇🏆 win for my family all together 😀 oh no disrespect 😭 happy anniversary 💓😘 awesome 💯😎.
How is saying appeasement of Hitler valid, the visit concerned the known intention to go to war in 1938, and Hitler failed despite making Chamberlains task more difficult after the solution was won elsewhere. And of course the next time he intended war he again was confronted with a threat.
Forget have building A bilck
Y aapan okay I'm
Good luck with that blick...😂
George V - Monster Father
George was not a monster, this is what happen when these so called "royal experts" want to rewrite history. Read George V's biographies by several acclaimed historians such as Kenneth Rose, Jane Ridley, Alexandra Churchill. George was strict and disciplinary but he loved his children and wasnt a m 0nster
he was not a monster, dont make up things.
@glen7318 the rumor is that George V is to have stated that he was afraid of his father (Edward VII), and his children would be afraid of him. It's documented that he wasn't too nice to his children.
What happened to Edward was a coup against the British people.
Well, Edward didn't like to do the things he was supposed to do, like attend hospital openings and charity events. He sent his brother Bertie and then went out to a social event with his friends while his brother covered for him. He let the red boxes, which contain private, secret government documents, lying about where anyone could get to them. He talked about government matters in social gatherings with perfect strangers. After the abdication, and in the middle of the possibility of war, he accepted an invitation to dinner with Adolph Hitler where he was filmed doing the Nazi salute. In a word, he was an utter security risk. The UK should erect a beautiful statue to Wallis Simpson in deepest gratitude for saving them from the disaster that was Edward VIII.
I think Queen Mary was terrified of him too
Queen Mary wasn't terrified of ANYBODY!!
@@rachelhenderson2688 Excrpt her husband.
I have never heard this before. Given her spending on beautiful jewelry, I somewhat doubt that she truly feared him.
Terrified of her own son?!?
Who was a mild mannered person??
And if you refered to her husband: they were very devoted to each other. There are several love letters known to the public that they exchanged throughout their marriage.
So sad that randy and Tampons have turned out to be so disgusting- what a disappointment to him 😢
The only thing disgusting here is your comment.
what are you on about? He died before the queen's sons were born.
@@glen7318 he was alive when Charles and Anne were born
