BONUS DVD! Masterpiece Theatre's Bertie & Elizabeth: Wars and kings come and go, but love endures in this story of one of the most enchanting and successful royal marriages ever. Albert, Duke of York, and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon married in 1923, expecting a life of genteel obscurity. But in 1936, after Bertie's older brother, Edward VIII, abdicated to marry the twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson, shy and modest Bertie was crowned George VI, just as his country faced the onslaught of WWII. With the help of his devoted wife, and their daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, together Bertie and Elizabeth inspired a nation soon embroiled in a horrific war.
Bertie & Elizabeth includes described video for the visually impaired.
