The Quiz: “The King’s Speech” (2010) is about which British monarch?
George VI
Henry VIII
George III
Edward VII
George VI was never supposed to be king, but in 1936, he was thrust into the spotlight and onto the throne when his older brother, King Edward III, abdicated to marry American socialite Wallis Simpson. The 2010 film “The King’s Speech,” starring Colin Firth, chronicled George’s ascension, particularly relating to his speech impediment and the close relationship he developed with his speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). The film won four Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Firth.
The correct answer to this quiz is George VI.
