He hoped that the British royal family could return to the center of British politics, rather than just as a country image. exist.
In his words, it is: " If the royal family simply fulfills the national image, then the existence of the royal family has no meaning. You can take on the national image by just finding someone on the streets of London." In George VI's ideas, He was extremely dissatisfied with the political system at that time.

ending
Someone said: "A person's life may be mediocre, or it may be extremely exciting. The key is to require a kind of courage and dream that comes from power." For George VI, although he has a lofty status, His stuttering problem has always been his most inferior flaw. However, no one expected that this king would eventually encourage British morale at the most critical moment of the country, for the sake of the nation to overcome the influence of stuttering.
At the same time, George VI is also a king worthy of admiration. Although he has many titles, in times of crisis, he was able to survive the country, rather than taking advantage of the war to restore the monarchy. He changed from the King of the British Empire and the Emperor of India to the Emperor of India.
