00:00:00The End
00:00:30Ella!
00:00:30Ella!
00:01:24I've come to make a final representation and to beseech you not to do this.
00:01:30I wish to address my people.
00:01:33It's my right.
00:01:34You have forfeited that right.
00:01:36There are things I wish to say.
00:01:38In which capacity?
00:01:40You're no longer their king.
00:01:42As a private individual.
00:01:43Oh, no one wants to hear from a private individual.
00:01:46Well, I beg to differ.
00:01:47The newspapers are for me.
00:01:49The best thing for everyone would be if you said your goodbyes quietly, privately, and
00:01:55disappeared into the night.
00:01:57Preferably never to return.
00:02:00I didn't say that.
00:02:02But you thought it.
00:02:05Admit it.
00:02:15Elizabeth!
00:02:17Margaret!
00:02:18Come inside!
00:02:19This is Windsor Castle.
00:02:22There follows an important announcement from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:02:28A few hours ago, I discharged my last duty as king and emperor.
00:02:39And now that I have been succeeded by my brother, the Duke of York.
00:02:46My first words must be to declare my allegiance to him.
00:02:53This I do with all my heart.
00:02:57Come along.
00:02:58You all know the reasons which have impelled me to renounce the throne.
00:03:03I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my
00:03:10duties as king as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I
00:03:20love.
00:03:21This decision has been made less difficult to me by the sure knowledge that my brother has one matchless blessing
00:03:29enjoyed by so many of you and not bestowed on me.
00:03:36A happy home with his wife and children.
00:03:43And now we all have a new king.
00:03:47I wish him and you, his people, happiness and prosperity.
00:03:56With all my heart, God bless you all.
00:04:00God save the king.
00:04:33Pardon by his wife.
00:04:34Love his condition.
00:04:46The delighted soulmate.
00:04:46Hello.
00:04:59Amen.
00:04:59Amen.

00:19:57CastingWords
00:20:13I realize we've had our differences in the past, if you'll allow me.
00:20:22But for now, let us think only of what we have in common.
00:20:29You've lost a husband, and father, and a brother.
00:20:38Let us be united in grief on equal terms, with someone we all loved.
00:20:48I'll be here for a few days after the funeral, before I return to New York.
00:20:55Perhaps we might find time to see one another.
00:20:59For lunch, or a walk.
00:21:05I'd like that very much.
00:21:15Your Majesty's?
00:21:16We must go, girls.
00:21:18So soon.
00:21:20Yes, to Westminster Hall.
00:21:23To see Papa.
00:21:39In this family, when you're in, you're never quite sure that you're in, but when you're out, there's no doubt
00:21:43at all you're out.
00:21:52Why can't you just be silver to him, Mummy?
00:21:55Let bygones be bygones.
00:21:58Sixteen years since the abdication, and he was close to Papa.
00:22:02Because the man is a monster.
00:22:05The responsibility of becoming king killed your father, and I will never forgive his selfishness and weakness in passing on
00:22:11the burden.
00:22:16He has done nothing for this family.
00:22:20And don't be fooled by his obsequiousness.
00:22:24The only reason he's even civil to us is because he wants to leech off us with a rich allowance
00:22:29to keep that Jezebel divorcee of his in the manner to which he's become accustomed.
00:22:33Well, I've spoken to the lawyers, and we have a little surprise in store for them.
00:22:40My dear darling Peaches, they say hell is an inferno.
00:22:47What a sunless, frozen hell we both escaped in England.
00:22:52And what a bunch of ice-veined monsters my family are.
00:22:57How cold and thin-lipped.
00:23:01How dumpy and plain.
00:23:04How joyless and loveless.
00:23:07The way Cookie treated me, looking down at me through her dumpy nose.
00:23:13It was as much as I could do not to let her have it with both barrels.
00:23:17And Shirley Temple, who has the rank now to silence her common mother, sadly has no mind of her own.
00:23:25But I remain civil because I'm following your advice.
00:23:32Keep them on side.
00:23:34Keep a foot in the door.
00:23:37And see what we can get out of the wretched circus.
00:23:42Perhaps even a raise on the allowance.
00:23:46Who knows?
00:23:48It's the only revenge I can think of for the insult of your non-invitation.
00:23:54To drain their coffers to our benefit.
00:24:05Thinking always of you.
00:24:07And counting the minutes until I'm back in your arms.
00:24:12Your loving David.
00:24:15Therefore, commit his body to the ground.
00:24:20Earth to Earth.
00:24:22Ashes to death.
00:24:25Dust to dust.
00:24:28In children's little hope.
00:24:31Dust to dust.
00:24:32.
00:24:32.
00:24:48Oh, my God.
00:25:12What is that thing?
00:25:14Oh, I inherited it from my grandfather.
00:25:17Well, as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique.
00:25:21No, but with an arm.
00:25:23Ah, but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made.
00:25:31They didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon.
00:25:40You are a cheat, Hanover.
00:25:49I realize that beyond these wars, a country mourns, struggles under a program of austerity and rationing.
00:26:00But, what to do?
00:26:03It might all appear indulgent, but in keeping the estate and the local community going,
00:26:11we are all doing our share tonight for the economy.
00:26:16So, let us start with the toast.
00:26:24To his late majesty, the king.
00:26:27The king.
00:26:29And the queen that has succeeded him.
00:26:34The queen.
00:26:36And to our generous host, and the royal house that is now in his name.
00:26:41To his.
00:26:43To the royal house, Mountbatten.
00:26:47To the royal house, Mountbatten.
00:26:57Right, come on then.
00:26:58You can do it.
00:27:00Kick it back.
00:27:03Kick it back, boy.
00:27:04Go on.
00:27:07It's not going to bite you.
00:27:09Kick it.
00:27:10Ah, it's the Burnley centre-back.
00:27:12Tell me, do you play football with your boy?
00:27:13Well, I get to see him, yeah.
00:27:15Rugby.
00:27:15Rugby, chance will be a fine thing.
00:27:17This one doesn't seem to want to do anything but dream.
00:27:21Your old man's struggling a bit, is he?
00:27:24Well, come on, then. Show him how it's done.
00:27:25Right. Come on, then, Charles.
00:27:27Let's give you something to aim at.
00:27:31That thing's been buzzing around all morning.
00:27:34At the top of his choices.
00:27:37Yeah, taking aerial photographs of some magazine.
00:27:40Yeah, is that right?
00:27:41Mm-hmm.
00:27:43It was always my dream to join the Air Force.
00:27:47But Dickie put me in the Navy.
00:27:50He felt the social connections would be better.
00:27:54Doubt it by where you ended up, I say the plan worked.
00:27:57Ha.
00:27:58Come on.
00:28:00Pass it.
00:28:02Not bloody bad, Charles.
00:28:05Not bloody bad.
00:28:17All right, Charlie, boy, here we go.
00:28:19Come on.
00:28:22Come on.
00:28:31Come on.
00:29:05Oh, it's fine. Tommy Lassels comes up to me at the funeral of all places, asks me for a word,
00:29:10then tells me to my face.
00:29:12Do you credit it? I come all this way, back to this gaping wound of a country, forbidden to bring
00:29:19my own wife.
00:29:19To pay respects to my dear late brother, and they compound an already traumatic and painful trip with this humiliation.
00:29:27The timing does seem particularly unfortunate.
00:29:30It's an outrage.
00:29:32How much is the allowance?
00:29:35Ten thousand a year.
00:29:37The agreement between Bertie and me was that I would give up everything and go into exile and keep a
00:29:43low profile in return for a pension that was clearly meant to be for the term of my whole life,
00:29:47not his.
00:29:48Now he's barely cold and Cookie turns off the bloody tap. How dare she?
00:29:53Oh, you don't know that it was her.
00:29:55Of course it was her.
00:29:56And don't call her that.
00:29:58Why not? She's fat, common and looks like a cook.
00:30:01Did they offer any justification?
00:30:03Oh, that it would appear insensitive for a member of the extended royal family to be seen to be rewarded
00:30:11and live in luxury. Extended royal family. I was the most senior member of that family, the king. Now we
00:30:18barely make ends meet. Every day is a struggle.
00:30:21You live in great style, from what I've heard.
00:30:25Perhaps you should take a leaf out of your late brother's book.
00:30:29He was frugal, you know.
00:30:31He was born frugal in every department.
00:30:34And that frugality earned him great favor. And he passed it on to the women in his family.
00:30:41Who just spent 70,000 renovating Clarence's house, so no lectures please about the frugality of the new queen.
00:30:47That was her husband.
00:30:49What, the foundling?
00:30:50Don't call him that.
00:30:52Why not?
00:30:53Call him by his name.
00:30:55If he had one.
00:31:01His Royal Highness Prince Ernst Auguste of Hanover, your majesty. He's here.
00:31:06What?
00:31:07He apologizes for the lack of warning, but said it was important.
00:31:12Oh.
00:31:14All right.
00:31:15You'd better show him in.
00:31:25Oh.
00:31:27All right.
00:31:30You'd better show him in.
00:31:32Please tell me you weren't shooting.
00:31:36One day after the funeral.
00:31:38Oh.
00:31:38Oh, my niebe Ernst.
00:31:40I assure you, the sport was very limited, and your late son was in our thoughts the whole time.
00:31:46Anyway, in the evening, we gathered for dinner.
00:31:50The food is normally quite good at broadlands.
00:31:53Outstanding.
00:31:54Especially the duck from memory, with oranges.
00:31:57With rum-soaked raisins.
00:31:59Oh.
00:32:00A Prussian recipe.
00:32:01And the Spätzle was amazing.
00:32:03With-with-with Käse and bröse.
00:32:05Mm.
00:32:06Köstlich.
00:32:07Yeah.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:09So, after dinner, our host started to brag about how the royal house would soon be in his name.
00:32:18Nonsense.
00:32:18The royal warden of 1917 established the house of Windsor.
00:32:23Ah.
00:32:24My late husband presided over it himself.
00:32:26But the name Windsor would only be carried by the male descendants.
00:32:31It did not take into account the female descendants.
00:32:34They would take the name from their husbands, which in this case would mean...
00:32:38Marbatten.
00:32:39Well...
00:32:41He had us raising glasses to it.
00:32:44Glasses containing what?
00:32:47Champagne.
00:32:49You were drinking champagne.
00:32:53The day after my son's funeral.
00:33:23I had to see you.
00:33:26Come in.
00:33:34I got home last night to find this on the kitchen table.
00:33:37I got home.
00:33:58She's gone.
00:34:00All her belongings are gone.
00:34:04I'm so sorry.
00:34:07No, you're not.
00:34:09No.
00:34:13I'm not.
00:34:48I'm not.
00:34:50I'm not.
00:34:50You're a regular.
00:34:51No.
00:34:52I'd lose my job.
00:34:54Well, you keep your job.
00:34:56I'll make sure of that.
00:34:57It would make me a divorcee.
00:35:06But not the guilty party.
00:35:10Still, I'd be sold goods.
00:35:13I'd be tainted with scandal.
00:35:17You'd also be free.
00:35:21To remarry.
00:35:28One day.
00:35:32Yes.
00:35:42Christ, hide.
00:35:44There, there, there.
00:35:45Go.
00:35:45How could you see it, anyway?
00:35:47Where is it?
00:35:51Yes, come on.
00:35:54Is it this one?
00:35:55Uh, yeah, I think so.
00:35:57No, no, it's not.
00:35:58It's this one.
00:35:59Right.
00:36:01I'm in.
00:36:03Sorry, Bargian.
00:36:04Have you got a sec?
00:36:05Of course, sir.
00:36:06Ma'am.
00:36:06Please.
00:36:08That's what I want to talk to you about.
00:36:13Flying.
00:36:15Yes, sir.
00:36:15You're an experienced air jockey, and I have an idea.
00:36:18And, and, look, please, disavow me of it if I'm wrong.
00:36:21That to be up there in a plane is the biggest thrill of them all.
00:36:25It is, sir.
00:36:30It is, um, once you break through the clouds to the clear blue beyond, the, the space, the, the silence,
00:36:42the transcendent beauty, it's, well, it's, it's church for the irreligious man.
00:36:49That's what I'd hoped you'd say.
00:36:51Where could I learn?
00:36:53Uh, White Wolf and Mayfield. They have a good school there.
00:36:56Would you take me?
00:36:56Of course, sir.
00:36:57Good man.
00:37:01You know, my sister, my favorite sister, actually, Cécile, died in a plane.
00:37:07Uh, went down over Rost End in a storm.
00:37:11Eight months pregnant.
00:37:14She went into labor mid-flight, and they, they found the child.
00:37:17Uh, next to her, in the wreckage.
00:37:23A boy.
00:37:29Hmm.
00:37:44Hmm.
00:37:48You part of the uniform, T-Saw.
00:37:52Uh.
00:37:58Anyone we know?
00:38:02I...
00:38:04No, quite right. None of my business.
00:38:08Thanks, sir.
00:38:25You're enjoying this, aren't you?
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:37Mr. Caldwell, your majesty.
00:38:42Your majesty's...
00:38:43Tommy.
00:38:45Oh, come in, Jock. Take a seat.
00:38:48We have a significant concern, which we'd like to convey to the Prime Minister.
00:38:54It concerns the Duke of Edinburgh.
00:39:09Ma'am, the word has reached me that it is your desire that you and your children keep your husband's
00:39:17name, Mountbatten.
00:39:20It is.
00:39:21Ma'am, you must not. It would be a grave mistake.
00:39:26Mountbatten was the adoptive name your husband took when he became a British citizen.
00:39:31His real name...
00:39:34You'll not need reminding...
00:39:37...was Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Gluxburg of the royal houses of Denmark and Norway and latterly of Greece.
00:39:51I am an old man.
00:39:54Many have questioned my relevance.
00:39:58And whether I still have something to offer in public life, the answer is I have.
00:40:03Which is to leave in place a sovereign prepared for office, equipped, armed for her duty.
00:40:15Great things have happened to this country under the sceptres of her queens.
00:40:21And you should be no exception.
00:40:24Yes, I am queen.
00:40:27But I am also a woman.
00:40:31And a wife.
00:40:35To a man whose pride and whose strength are in part what attracted me to him.
00:40:41I want to be in a successful marriage.
00:40:45And I would argue stability under this roof might even be in the national interest.
00:40:49Had you considered that?
00:40:54Very well.
00:40:55I will discuss it with cabinet.
00:41:01No.
00:41:05You will inform the cabinet, prime minister.
00:41:13That is the favor you will do me.
00:41:17In return for one I'm already doing you.
00:41:26I know your party wants you to resign.
00:41:30To make way for a younger man.
00:41:32Mr. Eden.
00:41:35I also know that no one will bring up your resignation while you are actively engaged in planning the coronation.
00:41:46So by delaying my investiture, you are, in fact, holding on to power.
00:41:56In which case, I would suggest you are somewhat in my debt.
00:42:01So if I agree to the delay, perhaps you will consider supporting me in the matter regarding my husband's name.
00:42:18And perhaps you could also inform cabinet that my husband and I intend to stay here at the Clarence house.
00:42:23Clarence house.
00:42:25Why?
00:42:26It is our home.
00:42:29It has just been refurbished at great expense.
00:42:33Buckingham Palace can still be where official business is done.
00:42:35But our home, our private family home, will be Clarence house.
00:42:49Very well.
00:43:12He was a little surprised, I think.
00:43:14Really?
00:43:15I dare express any of you at all.
00:43:16But Pa was always putty in his hands.
00:43:19I think one should start as all means to continue.
00:43:22Absolutely.
00:43:22Put a marker down.
00:43:23Quite.
00:43:24Draw a line in the sand.
00:43:26He said he'd put it to cabinet.
00:43:28And I said there was nothing to discuss.
00:43:30Good for you.
00:43:31No.
00:43:31Good for you.
00:43:32I did it.
00:43:50Congratulations yourselves.
00:43:58Thank you very much.
00:43:59Thank you very much.
00:44:00Thank you very much.
00:44:01Thank you very much.
00:44:08I took it to cabinet, and as expected, the answer was unanimous.
00:44:12No, both matters.
00:44:14Well, she won't like it, neither the snub over the name, nor the move to Buckingham Palace.
00:44:19God, it really is the most dreadful place.
00:44:22Cold, uninviting.
00:44:24But it's the right thing for the young family and the children to live there.
00:44:29It's the focal point. It's the monarch's home.
00:44:35Do you want me to break it to her?
00:44:38I would be very kind.
00:44:40It's the least I can do.
00:44:42I've never forgotten the way in which you defended me, fought for me during that terrible time.
00:44:50I still think no man should be punished for love.
00:44:54And I also believe I spoke for many in the country when I defended you.
00:44:58You're very kind.
00:45:02If I were to help you in this matter with her, perhaps I could ask a favor in return?
00:45:11Well, I think it.
00:45:30Put in a word with the young queen for my allowance to be reinstated, she holds the purse strings now.
00:45:38Well, the family expect me to turn down commercial opportunities, yet cuts off my allowance at the same time.
00:45:46And ten thousand pounds.
00:45:48It's quite impossible to make ends meet without it.
00:45:57There is also a brief moment before the coronation where you might also mobilize cabinet support for the one other
00:46:15thing that has eluded me and gnaws away at my heart.
00:46:21What?
00:46:23The appropriate title for the woman I married.
00:46:26No, sir.
00:46:28Her royal highness.
00:46:29She is, after all, the wife of a former king.
00:46:32She is also a woman who has three husbands that still live and breathe.
00:46:37It is her right, Winston.
00:46:41I am determined she shall have it.
00:46:44I am determined she has shown respect.
00:46:48Will you fight for it?
00:46:50One more time.
00:46:51I have defended you so many times.
00:46:54Each time, to my cost and in vain.
00:46:58This love for her has destroyed everything.
00:47:03It is love, Winston.
00:47:07Love.
00:47:09The greatest thing on earth.
00:47:12The best thing on earth.
00:47:14The greatest thing on earth.
00:50:16His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:50:24Your Majesty.
00:50:27Thank you for seeing me.
00:50:29Thank you for coming.
00:50:32Thank you for coming.
00:51:46Yes.
00:52:48She did. Your mother too. I can show you the letters.
00:52:53I didn't mean to them.
00:52:55I meant to me.
00:52:58You?
00:53:03You don't think I'm deserving of one?
00:53:07You don't think I would have preferred to grow up out of the spotlight?
00:53:12Away from court?
00:53:14Away from the scrutiny and the visibility.
00:53:20A simpler life.
00:53:23Happier life.
00:53:25As a wife, a mother.
00:53:29An ordinary English countrywoman.
00:53:35I'm sorry.
00:53:50You might extend the same apology to my husband the next time you see him.
00:53:54Is he struggling?
00:53:56A little.
00:53:58Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.
00:54:02Anyway.
00:54:04If I am to succeed,
00:54:07then he and I are going to need all the help we can get.
00:54:10Well, I'm sure you're surrounded by good people offering it.
00:54:15I wonder if they're always off in Paris or New York,
00:54:18wherever it is you spend your time.
00:54:22You would take my advice?
00:54:25I would.
00:54:29Particularly now my father isn't here to give his.
00:54:34I'd know it came from the heart.
00:54:36Since I know deep down,
00:54:39despite everything,
00:54:40that you care very deeply.
00:54:44I do.
00:54:54As it happens, there...
00:54:57are two issues
00:54:59on which I would like to offer some advice.
00:55:02The first is your husband's surname,
00:55:05and the name of the royal house.
00:55:11And the second?
00:55:34There you are.
00:55:35There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
00:55:37Now, please don't react.
00:55:40I'd like to take flying lessons.
00:55:44No.
00:55:45But trust me,
00:55:46becoming a pilot has been a lifelong ambition of mine,
00:55:49and I think...
00:55:51I've found a teacher mad enough to take me on as a pupil.
00:55:55Peter, no less.
00:55:56Peter Townsend.
00:56:01What's the matter?
00:56:03I need to talk to you.
00:56:04About what?
00:56:09They'd rather we didn't keep the name.
00:56:12Mountbatten.
00:56:15Who's they?
00:56:17Cabinet.
00:56:18It's none of their business.
00:56:20I think you'll find it's very much their business.
00:56:23You're my wife. Taking my name is the law.
00:56:25It's the custom, not the law.
00:56:28A custom practiced so universally,
00:56:29it might as well be the law.
00:56:31You can't do this.
00:56:32Am I to be the only man in the country
00:56:33whose wife and children don't take his name?
00:56:35You can't do this to Dickie.
00:56:36It will devastate him.
00:56:37You know that.
00:56:38You know how important it is to him.
00:56:41I've told him the royal house of Mountbatten is in the bag.
00:56:44That was a mistake.
00:56:46It's not.
00:56:48The name has to be Windsor.
00:56:50For stability.
00:56:53There's more.
00:56:56Clarence House.
00:56:58Our home.
00:56:59What about it?
00:57:01We have to give it up.
00:57:05The home of the sovereign of the United Kingdom is Buckingham Palace.
00:57:08Says who?
00:57:11Me.
00:57:15I thought you hated that place.
00:57:18I do.
00:57:19We all do.
00:57:23Then why go along with it?
00:57:26Because that's the overwhelming advice.
00:57:28But that's the point, Elizabeth.
00:57:30It's just advice.
00:57:31It doesn't mean that you have to act on it.
00:57:33When it comes from the government, you do.
00:57:49What kind of marriage is this?
00:57:52What kind of family?
00:57:55You've taken my career from me.
00:57:57You've taken my home.
00:57:58You've taken my name.
00:58:08I thought we were in this together.
00:58:27Go.
00:58:47See?
00:58:47Why do you tombo.
00:58:49Welcome, Colonel.
00:59:18My lords, I hereby declare my will and pleasure that I and my children shall be styled and known as
00:59:31the house and family of Windsor, and that my descendants, other than female descendants, who marry and their descendants, shall
00:59:43bear the name of Windsor.
01:00:00My lords, I hereby declare the name of Windsor.
01:00:18My lords, I hereby declare the name of Windsor.
01:00:23My lords, I hereby declare the name of Windsor.
