The King's Speech tells the story of Prince Albert, the second son of King George V, who ascends to the throne as King George VI after his older brother's abdication. However, Bertie, as he is known, has a severe stutter that makes it difficult for him to speak in public. He seeks help from Lionel Logue, a non-medically trained speech therapist who uses unorthodox methods to treat Bertie's stammer. Through their sessions, Bertie learns to overcome his physical and psychological limitations and find his voice, ultimately delivering a powerful speech that inspires his nation during World War II. Along the way, an unlikely friendship develops between Bertie and Lionel, who becomes his trusted advisor and confidant.
