Movie Info Sheet
King George VI’s reign, beginning in 1936, was defined by the Second World War. He and Queen Elizabeth remained in London throughout the Blitz, while their daughters were sent to Windsor Castle for safety. Their defiance in staying at Buckingham Palace symbolized strength and solidarity with the British people. During the war, the King toured bombed areas to boost morale and visited troops, including a trip to Normandy after D-Day in 1944. When VE Day arrived in 1945, Buckingham Palace became the heart of national celebrations. The public’s outpouring of affection for George VI reflected the deep connection between the King and his people, forged during years of adversity.
