when was king george vi crowned
Netflix's latest drama, The Crown, follows the lives of the British monarchy shortly after World War II. The first season begins just before the ascension of Queen Elizabeth II to the throne and ends in 1955. But before Elizabeth became Queen, it was her father, King George VI, who ruled after his brother, Edward VIII, abdicated the throne. There are many people who've played the role of the king throughout the years, but according to critics Jared Harris plays King George VI on The Crown as if he was born for the part. Harris has had a lot of different roles over the years but most people probably remember him best for his role as Lance Pryce on Mad Men, which even earned him an Emmy nomination.
