Guardian: Has an excellent Review on the forthcoming film The King’s Speech, it looks at how the father of H.M The Queen, King George VI overcame his stammer after his succession the throne after the Abdication of King Edward VIII, later the Duke of Windsor. Have seen old footages of the King when he was having a problem with his stammer, it painful to see even now folks, also as your humble correspondent also has stammer one can very much sympathise with the then Duke of York, he was never meant to be King, his urbane and charismatic brother David, Prince of Wales had the looks and the popularity, but love can make men do daft things, it can be very cold with the wrong woman. Thus it will be nice to see a film that shows how even Kings can overcome their problems, but lets be honest being symbol of the nation took it out of the King thus his early death in the 1950s, while the Duke of Windsor lived on in to the 1970s. Some things are never meant! And the cost when they tried is hard.
