God Save the King (and Grant Him Many Oscars)

Although my Irish ancestors would be horrified, I have been an Anglophile since I was old enough to read The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. So, despite Christopher Hitchens' complaints about the film's historical inaccuracies (none of which had to do with the relationship between George VI and Lionel Logue), I was inordinately pleased that "The King's Speech" received 12 Academy Award nominations today.

Thank you for the link. What is true of Churchill also applied to much of the British nobility. The Mitford family being a case in point.
