The King's Speech

I have used Wordle to analyse the speech made by King George VI in his radio broadcast to the nation on September 3rd 1939, when Britain declared war on Germany. It was a proud moment for the King, who had battled for many years with a speech impediment. This was a major speech and the first one which the King managed to speak without much hesitation.

You can see from looking at the image below, that some of the words used most by the King in his speech were, 'world', 'principle', 'right', 'nations', 'people' and 'peace'.
