The first half of the film is devoted to Roger's attempts to gain Bertie's trust. Bertie resists meeting Roger, and the first meeting also falls apart. But in fact, Bertie first sought Rogge's help in 1926, and the two almost hit it off. Rogge recorded the meeting and published it in his biography of King George VI, "After the first meeting, Bertie was full of confidence in herself.
