He is energetic and conscientious. He is indecisive and insecure—these complex qualities that make the British public fall in love with him unconsciously. He is the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II of England, King George VI.
On February 6, 1952, King George VI passed away at the age of 56. When he was alive, he was respected and admired by the vast majority of his subjects, and his death caused great grief across the country.
60 years have passed, and his reputation behind him has become increasingly noble. The 2010 successful film "The King's Speech" tells the story of George VI.
Duke of York Prince Albert (that is, George VI before ascending the throne) was bullied by his domineering father George V since childhood, while his cold mother, Queen Mary, kept her distance from him. Understandably, his lack of confidence when he grew up not only led to him stuttering in public, but even sometimes became incoherent. This often put him in a silly and unpredictable anger.
But, as shown in The King's Speech, the treatment of language trainer Lionel Logger has helped him a lot, and his wife Elizabeth Bowies Lyon's Love He also deeply healed.
The lively and charming Lady Elizabeth first confessed to Prince Albert. After their wedding in 1923, she always supported him and brought him two adorable daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret.
On April 21, 1926, the birth of the future queen Elizabeth II was one of the most important moments in the life of George VI. Later, the youngest daughter Margaret was born, and the family lived a peaceful life and was extremely happy.
1936, Prince Albert's brother Edward VIII chose to abdicate for Mrs. Simpson . The low-key, peaceful and comfortable life of Prince Albert's family is broken. Some people in the royal family are worried that the new king may not be competent for the job. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said: The public has many prejudices against him. He didn't have the chance to capture the public's imagination like his brother. I'm afraid he will not feel relaxed in a year or two.
On May 12, 1937, George VI was crowned King of England. Facing his new role, George himself will face the challenge with great success. In his early life, he was neither a great scholar nor a nerd. But after he ascended the throne, he did prove that he was a very fast learner.
Although George VI never lost his speech barrier, he made great progress due to his duties in radio and speech.
He is very much his role as a constitutional monarch and his influence limitations. Between 1940 and 1945, he cooperated with the famous Prime Minister Winston Churchill to face Nazi Germany.
After 1945, George VI presided over a series of major national transformations, from the introduction of welfare states to the end of the UK's ability to "stay alone" in foreign policy. From the nationalization of key parts of British industry and the British economy to the suffocation effect of decline and suppression of respect for public office and private after the war; from the decline in church attendance to the rapid development of modern media; from the basic homogeneity of the British population to the large The beginning of scale “non-white” immigration and settlement.
In many ways, George VI was a dedicated and diligent monarch. This provides a valuable template for his equally dedicated eldest daughter, Elizabeth II. It is not surprising that the father and daughter are both liked.
February 6, 1952, George VI died in sleep. The next day, the Daily Mirror wrote: "By any standard, no matter where you are, this is a good person."
