Not a complicated story. One gets most of it even from the trailer or even some of it from old facts one picks up about British history. But it's the execution which while not flawless is very nearly so by Colin Firth. And of course there is the mysterious thing to Americans that is the British monarchy.
The Duke of York is kind of a funny person with his self-deprecating jokes. (There is a zinger about what friends are for.)
And wow, I didn't know there is another Prince Albert -- a leftie no less -- in British royal history (the other was Victoria's consort). Bertie is kind of a cool nickname, I'd never heard it before. I'm rather more partial to Albee at the moment, but maybe I'd warm up to it.
