The film was criticized for underplaying Edward VIII's flirtation with Nazism both before and after the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939, and for neglecting to mention George VI's support for the policy of appeasement. However the most serious historical mistakes were the depiction of Baldwin stepping down due to his inability to handle Hitler, and the misrepresentation of Churchill as an opponent of Edward VIII. In reality Baldwin was persuaded to retire by Chamberlain, and Churchill was Edward's strongest and most vocal supporter.
