Those of nobility tend to be depicted as perfect individuals, characters who have very desirable characteristics and little flaws. In other words, these characters are idealized and perfect (following the character archetype of Mary Sue/Gary Stu). This was not the case in The King’s Speech. In the film, rather than treating Bertie more as a member of royalty, they treat him more like an ordinary person. At times, the viewer see’s the protagonist as Bertie, and not the Duke of York nor King George VI. He is at times, ‘normal’ or ‘ordinary’ (p2 or Renee). Like all people, Bertie does have his own personal flaws and struggles. His stammer serves as his greatest obstacle, preventing him from being an efficient speaker in public events.
