King George VI: If I am King, where is my power? Can I declare war? Form a government? Levy a tax? No! And yet I am the seat of all authority because they think that when I speak, I speak for them.

In the scene of King George V's 1934 Christmas Broadcast from Sandringham, there are factual errors. The B.B.C. Engineers are shown operating Outside Broadcast equipment in a room adjacent to the King - but the equipment (BBC Type OBA/8) didn't even come into service until 1938. It should have been type OB/7 in large mahogany cases. Also, the ornate Royal microphone cases were the wrong ones. These were the later (c1937) type first used by King Edward VIII in his Broadcast in 1936. See more...

During the final parts of the movie, while the King is addressing all of the nations, the movie shows different families' reaction to the speech. The error comes when they show Lionel Logue's family. By this point in the movie, Logue's children are teens/young adults (proven by scene showing Logue's son,grown now, driving Logue to the palace to help King George deliver the final speech). However, the family is shown with Logue's children being alot younger. [Laurie Logue was the eldest, and he had several younger siblings. There is no mistake here.]

The correct name of the second child of the Duke and Duchess of York (younger sister to (now) Queen Elizabeth) was "Princess Margaret Rose". She is incorrectly mentioned in the film as simply "Princess Margaret" a name by which she did not come to be known until she became an adult. [I suppose you are referring to the fact that her father calls her "Princess Margaret". Even though she was officially known as "Princess Margaret Rose", her family and friends might have called her only "Princess Margaret" on occasion.]
