Quote #10

BERTIE: If I am to be king... where is my power? May I form a government, levy a tax or declare a war? No! Yet I am the seat of all authority.

Bertie has troubled understanding how he's so powerful when it's his government that makes all the decisions. After all, he's not the one to declare war with Germany. He's just the one who needs to stand up and rally his people for the cause.
