His wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) supports him at all times and plays the ever loving wife who wants her husband to gain confidence regardless of whether he becomes king or not. At last he met Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a speech therapist. He did not have a medical degree but he had worked as a pronunciation and diction coach. His teaching the King is kept a secret affair that is known to none. He taught Bertie well and made progress through his unconventional techniques. There becomes a bond of friendship between two and soon Bertie learns to speak boldly and flawlessly. Ultimately he becomes king of England and delivers a speech to the entire nation, over the radio, declaring war on Germany in 1939.
