There's also one major anachronism, the music that Geoffrey Rush uses to drown 
out Bertie's stuttering being in full blown stereo. But it's about the fact 
that he WILL have to make a speech once it's realized that Edward is going to 
abdicate. (Albert Frederick Arthur George aka Bertie = George VI. Edward Albert 
Christian George Andrew Patrick David = Prince of Wales = Duke of Windsor. 
Still a great movie.)
