While The King's Speech focuses primarily on King and his struggles with his speech impediment, the film does offer some insights into the character of Queen , who would go on to become the longest-reigning in British history.



In the film, Queen Elizabeth II, then known as Elizabeth, is portrayed as a loving daughter who is deeply concerned for her father's well-being. She is often shown at his side during his therapy sessions with Logue. The film also highlights the challenges that Queen Elizabeth would face as a member of the family, particularly during the turbulent years leading up to II. As the daughter of the King and future , she is shown to be aware of her family's public image and the importance of projecting a sense of stability and unity to the people.



Overall, the film particularly shows her close with her father and her early experiences as a of the royal family.
