Helena Bonham Carter Pictures: Helena Bonham Carter attends "The Kings Speech" photocall during 54th BFI London Film Festival at the Vue West End on October 21, 2010 in London, England.
George VI, also known as Bertie, reluctantly takes the throne of England when his brother, Edward, abdicates in 1936. The unprepared king turns to a radical speech therapist, Lionel Logue, to help overcome his nervous stutter and the two forge a friendship.
"The Kings Speech" begins a limited-engagement run in theaters on November 26.
