Colin Firth plays King George VI who, to cope with a stammer, sees Lionel Logue, an Australian speech and language therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The men become friends as they work together, and after his brother abdicates the throne, the new King relies on Logue to help him make his first wartime radio broadcast on Britain's declaration of war on Germany in 1939.Seidler read about George VI's life after overcoming a stuttering condition he endured during his youth. He started writing about the relationship between the monarch and his therapist
as early as the 1980s, but at the request of the King's widow, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother,
postponed work until her death in 2002. He later rewrote his screenplay for the stage to focus on
the essential relationship between the two protagonists. Nine weeks before filming began, Logue's
notebooks were discovered and quotations from them were incorporated into the script.

Story About :
The King's Speech : Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V, stammers through his speech closingthe 1925 British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium, while the resulting ordeal is beingbroadcast by radio worldwide. The Duke has given up hope of a cure, but his wife Elizabeth persuades him to see Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist in London. During their first session, Logue breaches royal etiquette by referring to the Prince as "Bertie," a name used by his family. When the Duke decides Logue's methods and manner are unsuitable, Logue wagers a shilling that the Duke can recite Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy without trouble while listening to "The Marriage of Figaro" on headphones. Logue records his performance on an acetate record. Convinced he has stammered throughout, Prince Albert leaves in anger, declaring his condition "hopeless" and dismissing Logue. Logue offers him the recording as a keepsake 1934 photograph of George V delivering the Royal Christmas Message; an image recreated in the film.After King George V makes his 1934 Christmas radio address, he explains to his son the importance of broadcasting to a modern monarchy. He declares that "David" , Albert's older brother and the heir to the throne, will bring ruin to himself, the family, and the country when he accedes to the throne- leaving continental Europe to the mercy of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. King George demands that Albert train himself, starting with a reading of his father's speech. He makes an agonising attempt to do so.Later, the Duke plays Logue's recording and hears himself unhesitatingly reciting Shakespeare. He decides to return to Logue, where he and his wife both insist that Logue focus only on physical exercises. Logue
