3: George VI
' I could see that nothing I said would alter his decision. His mind was made up. I went to see Queen Mary and when I told her what had happened, I broke down and sobbed.'
George VI came reluctantly to the throne which his brother had vacated so dramatically by his decision to abdicate. But his reign was to prove one of the most inspiring in the history of the British Crown. With Stephen Murray as George VI, and BETTY BASKCOMB GARARD GREEN, MALCOLM HAYES MADI HEDD , GODFREY KENTON
