The Duke and Duchess of York have blue eyes, but Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter have brown eyes.
At the beginning of the film, Bertie is under pressure to deliver a public speech for the first time. In order to aggravate this pressure, the venue of the speech was set as an outdoor sports field, which made Bertie extremely nervous and completely aphasia in the face of the public. In history, Bertie also encountered such an embarrassment, that was during the 1925 Commonwealth Games. But in the movie, the screenwriter pulled the timeline back 10 years, that is, in 1935, not long before Edward VIII took the throne.
The first half of the film uses a lot of pen and ink to describe Roger's attempt to win Bertie's trust. Bertie resisted to meet Rogge, and was unhappy at the first meeting. But in fact, Bertie first sought Rogge's help in 1926, and the two could almost be described as "it hits it off". Rogge recorded this meeting and published it in the biography of George VI, “After the first meeting, Bertie was full of confidence in himself. After two months of treatment, Bertie’s progress was very obvious. At that time he was already competent for all public speeches arranged during the royal travels."
Historically, Bertie chose his royal title as "George" in order to show respect for his father George V. Unlike Churchill in the movie, it was because the name Albert was "too German."
In the film, Winston Churchill is an opponent of Edward VIII (Duke of Windsor). In fact, he is one of the strongest supporters of Edward VIII, defending him many times in Parliament and urging him not to abdicate.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Church revealed that Roger was not a real doctor. In fact, Roger has a medical license and has never lied about his qualifications.
Rainer Rogge never swears in front of George VI and never calls him "Bertie"
Princess Elizabeth (Elizabeth II) was watching a news clip of Adolf Hitler and asked her father what Hitler was talking about, and George VI replied that he didn't know. In fact, George VI's mother, Queen Mary, is German, and his great-grandfather Prince Albert is also German. Although George VI may have been trying to protect Princess Elizabeth from Hitler's remarks, the truth is that he, his siblings, and their parents are all proficient in German.
After learning of his father's death and realizing that he had become a king, Edward VIII collapsed and sobbed on the shoulder of his mother, Queen Mary. In fact, it was George VI himself who did this when he told his mother that Edward VIII had decided to abdicate.
Elizabeth II's eyes are blue. Freya Wilson, who plays Princess Elizabeth, has brown eyes.
At the end of the film, the king was told that the speech would take about nine minutes. In fact, both in history and in the film, the speech only lasted about five minutes.
At the end of the film, the content of the speech is different from the real speech in history. Some parts of the speech in the film are omitted. And there are not so many pauses in real speeches in history.
In a conversation with Bertie (George VI) after the announcement of the Christmas Declaration, George V called Stalin the Marshal. In fact, the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union was established in September 1935. Joseph Stalin won the title only after the Battle of Stalingrad in March 1943 (that is, 7 years after the death of King George V).
