Pirmoje XX a. pusėje Anglijos monarchiją ištinka tikras skandalas -karalius Edvardas VIII atsisako sosto, kad galėtų vesti nekilmingą ir išsituokusią moterį. Taigi, į sostą teks sėsti Edvardo VII broliui Jurgiui VI. Tačiau būsimasis karalius turi rimtą kalbos sutrikimą. Šis sutrikimas rimtai grasina jo kaip Didžiosios Britanijos monarcho įvaizdžiui, o ypač neramumų akivaizdoje: žemyninėje Europoje kyla Trečiojo reicho grėsmė. Tokiomis sudėtingomis aplinkybėmis imperijos gyventojų žvilgsniai nukrypsta į monarchą ir jie tikisi išgirsti padrąsinančius ir viltį teikiančius žodžius. Deja, Jurgis VI viešai nepajėgia pasakyti nė trumpos kalbos: jis užsikerta ir ima mikčioti...
Tai pasakojimas apie rūmų ir BBC, dviejų Didžiosios Britanijos valdžios institucijų bastionų, vidinį darbą, kuriame pasakojama apie žurnalistus, savo atkaklumu ir drąsa prasiskverbiančius pro aukščiausias valdžios lubas ir patenkančius į viską galėjusio prarasti žmogaus vidinę šventovę ir svarstymus.

An introvert as well as a humble man, events and circumstances resulted in him becoming an inspiration for the British nation during its war with Germany.
