Dr Geoff Lindsey | The King's Speech: Charles III's accent @DrGeoffLindsey | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
A discussion of the King's RP accent and how this upper class British accent differs from modern SSB (Standard Southern British).

0:00 RP (Received Pronunciation) and SSB (Standard Southern British)
0:49 The King's vowels
2:45 The King's consonants
4:09 Weakening and 'mumbling'
5:15 Emphasising and gesturing



If you want to speak British English clearly and confidently, I recommend this course from accent coach Luke Nicholson:
