King George VI is honestly one of my personal heroes. The fact that he didn't even *want* to be King, and broke down crying in front of his mother after his brother abdicated the throne says a lot. Here's a guy who just wants to raise his daughters and enjoy his wealth & privileges. A guy who's shy, nervous, and doesn't want the spotlight. Yet he becomes King out of a sense of duty, and has to lead the Commonwealth through the Second World War. He became a *great* King, and became one of *the* examples of what a Constitutional Monarch should be in the process. You're right. We can do this, we can do anything!
