Louis and the prince

The unlikely but fascinating story of the powerful friendship between Scottish naval surgeon Louis Greig and the future King George VI. Greig, a war hero and rugby international, became mentor, physician and friend to the young and hesitant Prince Albert. His influence helped to guide the prince from a stammering, shy schoolboy to become one of the most respected constitutional monarchs, seeing the nation through the Second World War and bringing the royal family closer to the people.
