His Majesty's advisers suggested that he save his voice and allow Princess Elizabeth to read the speech in his place. His reply was "My daughter may get her chance next Christmas. I want to speak to my people myself." The speech was only 6 minutes in length, and the harsh sound of his voice alarmed rather than reassured many of his subjects. He was dead 43 days after this speech was broadcast. Source: A. Michie, God Save The Queen (1952).

He had already a fragile health and the war and tiredness took the final toll on him. Plus he was also, according to my English teacher, a very sensitive/caring/sensible person.

I heard or read somewhere that even given the short length of his speech, he still had to stop frequently to take a break and they had to splice it together to make it cohesive.

My grandfather was 6 years old living in British Malaya. I wonder if he did had a radio and heard this transmission but has no idea what it means (and he still has no idea how to speak English). There are some parts of his speech mentioning historic conflicts that were ongoing during that time. 6:38 The King mentioned the Malayan Emergency which had started by the Communist Party of Malaya in 1948, 3 years prior (and would continue until after the Malayan independence in 1960) and the Korean War which had started just a couple of months ago and would persist until 1953 when armistice was signed between the two Koreas.

They said people were shocked by George VI's death because they thought he was getting better. How in the world could you reasonably think that listening to him here?
