Queen Elizabeth II's Father Was Never Told He Had Cancer… The SECRET Final Days of King George VI

On a Sunday morning in September 1951, a hospital operating table was carried into Buckingham Palace and put back together in a room full of gilt. The patient was King George VI, and he had been told he was having a blockage taken out of his lung. His doctors never told him it was cancer. This is the true story of the secret final days of King George VI, the shy, stammering second son who never wanted the crown and carried Britain through the war. The Buhl Room operation and the "structural changes" bulletin on the palace railings, Churchill asking his doctor why the palace said anything at all, the Christmas broadcast recorded in pieces, the last wave to Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip at London Airport, the final shoot at Sandringham, the valet's knock at 7:30 in the morning, and the news that reached the new Queen Elizabeth II at Sagana Lodge in Kenya. Plus what really killed him in February 1952, and the 304,000 people who filed past his coffin in Westminster Hall. Should his doctors have told him he had cancer? Tell me where you're watching from, and what you think. Subscribe for the next true royal deathbed story. Maybe he knew anyway. If he did, he never said it; he just stood on that runway in the cold and waved, until his daughter's plane was gone. The Royal Deathbed: #GeorgeVI #QueenElizabethII #RoyalHistory
