| Summary |
Beginning with the constitutional crisis caused by King Edward VIII's abdication in 1936, this program then looks back to the childhood of brothers David (Edward VIII) and Bertie (George VI) as they were called back then. Growing up in the quiet of the countryside, strong woman have had their influence on them from early on: from great-grandmother Queen Victoria down to malicious nannies. Archive material, including extracts from George's key speeches, takes us deep into the family story that not only shook the British monarchy but made headlines the world over.
