It's 1925, and Prince Bertie faces the acute embarrassment of stammering through a first public address, broadcast on radio, at Wembley Stadium. Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue offers lively and unorthodox one-to-one corrective techniques, and thus a lifeline to Albert's inferiority complex. The story of an unlikely, strong friendship, and one that hints slyly at Royal dysfunction.
