Product Description:

An all-star British cast brings this story of love and accidental royalty to life. In 1920, when a well-bred, spirited young woman named Elizabeth Bowes Lyon accepted a dance from the Duke of York, she had no idea her decision would have such consequences. Second in line for the throne, Bertie was a reserved young man--unlike his brother, Edward, who would soon inherit the crown. Bertie and Elizabeth fell in love, married, and had two daughters. But when Edward VIII gave up his throne in order to marry the woman he loved--an American divorcée--the royal responsibilities fell on Bertie. With some hesitation, Bertie changed his name to George and became King George VI. Together, he and Queen Elizabeth helped to restore a nation devastated by the destruction of World War II. Though they never expected to become king and queen, the couple lit up the world with their dignity and spirit. When George died from lung cancer in 1952, their daughter, Princess Elizabeth, took the throne. Even today, the "Queen Mum," who passed away in 2002 at the age of 101, is one of England's most beloved royal figures.
