Nov 25, 2020 · Home. Period. 20th Century. How George VI's sheer ordinariness made him the darling of the nation.

King George VI paid State Visits to France in 1938, and to Canada and the United States in 1939, the first British monarch to enter the United States. His greatest achievements came during the Second World War, when he remained for most of the time at Buckingham Palace (the Palace was bombed nine times during the war).
