The Windsors & WWII

Directed by Hannah Summer
2023    50mDocumentary
Forced to step up and meet his royal responsibilities unexpectedly, George VI saw the nation through some difficult times and witnessed the changing landscape of Britain. The King and Queen remained at Buckingham Palace throughout the War. They sent their daughters, Princess Elizabeth, (now present queen) and Princess Margaret to Windsor Castle for safety. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth toured many of the areas that had suffered from heavy bombing, this showed the people of London that they really cared for them and their welfare. Their defiance of the German Blitz gave the country a much-needed boost in their war efforts, and undoubtedly forged a sense of unity throughout the United Kingdom. As the war raged on, the King's role remained ever-important, with visits to a number of locations outside of Britain a vital morale-boosting mission for the men fighting for their country.
