00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Lush.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:17Let's go.
00:01:18Let's go.
00:01:41Let's go.
00:01:48Let's go.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:02Let's go.
00:02:04Let's go.
00:02:06Let's go.
00:02:21Let's go.
00:02:24Let's go.
00:02:29Let's go.
00:02:38Let's go.
00:02:44Let's go.
00:02:50Let's go.
00:02:52Let's go.
00:03:04Let's go.
00:03:09Let's go.
00:03:18There it is.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:21Get it translated.
00:04:39Get it translated.
00:04:52Get it translated.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:36Get it translated.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day, Winston.
00:06:33Ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest.
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:07:21They took a great weekend.
00:08:12The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain
00:08:19of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Graham.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way, and when you turn to your own...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04Well, there's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:07But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:12Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops
00:09:25and live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel not of despair but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:36Hope for society. Hope for the world.
00:09:45When you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way,
00:09:51you will soon prefer your own ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:56You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good
00:10:00and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:23Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:42Help, help, help.
00:10:48Ah! No!
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:56Excuse me.
00:10:58Where's your cap?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique!
00:11:22Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:12:08Yeah!
00:12:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:12Let's go!
00:12:16Come on, let's go!
00:12:18Uh-oh!
00:12:18Come on!
00:12:20Oh!
00:12:21Oh!
00:12:22Oh!
00:12:22Yeah!
00:12:23Oh!
00:12:25Oh!
00:12:25Oh!
00:12:26Oh!
00:12:27Oh!
00:12:28Oh!
00:12:30Oh!
00:12:32Oh!
00:12:34Oh!
00:12:51would you like to know what my day consisted of today don't tell me the same as every other day
00:12:59I rose late past 11 then inspected the gardens and at lunch with people of no consequence my
00:13:06friends people have no consequence I never thought I'd hear myself say it but life of pleasure really
00:13:14has its limits trial I've spent living with you my mottos Prince of Wales was 18 I served deeply
00:13:31rooted within me is a need to serve my country I need a job a purpose not this again well
00:13:40where
00:13:41do you intend to find one I simply have to go to London to set things in motion shall I
00:13:49tell you
00:13:49what else is deeply rooted within your family delusion they won't let you in the country let
00:13:54alone give you a job that's not what my lawyer says you've spoken to George why didn't you tell
00:13:59me well I'm telling you now I still have allies you know important allies disciples of the truth
00:14:07advocates of justice who could mobilize opinion start a campaign to have a former king be forgiven
00:14:30finally there's a request man from the government for you to open the new airport at gatwick um they've
00:14:36offered some dates so June was best for us I think yes all right and that is it from me
00:14:43thank you Michael
00:14:47oh there was something ma'am if I wished to meet Reverend Graham do you think that could be arranged
00:14:58the evangelist ma'am yes
00:15:04well I should need to give it some thought
00:15:09um one might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at all saints chapel at Windsor and private
00:15:20lunch to follow we should have to be careful though ma'am that any invitation to or association with
00:15:30Reverend Graham would not be perceived as an endorsement of his
00:15:37crusades which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church
00:15:41well I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly Michael you had something
00:15:47yes um his royal highness the duke of Windsor has written with a request
00:15:52uh what for to be allowed to enter the country denied to research a book which he's planning to write
00:16:02on what subject how do you truly great king a guidebook
00:16:09he didn't say that I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace actually he's intending to
00:16:14stay with his friend Major Metcalfe fruity but doesn't he live in Surrey Sussex I believe
00:16:20oh that's quite good out of the public eye the further the better if you ask me
00:16:26so that is a yes no yes no yes yes let him come ma'am
00:16:52good morning sir uh did you finish that paper yes sir thank you
00:16:59this one for Mr. Sweet this one for morning Margaret morning sir monsieur
00:17:28this is practically an injunction
00:17:35sir
00:17:38are you aware of this
00:17:45I am
00:17:46as historians we have a duty to publish the truth no exceptions
00:17:52otherwise what are we all doing protecting Nazis
00:17:56protecting something else
00:18:00my hands are tied but his are not that's right I have access to the US State Department duplicate files
00:18:07including this
00:18:10there's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't
00:18:25my dearest darling peaches let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey
00:18:31it was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather the company on the boat was dreadful too common and
00:18:40uninteresting people pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards
00:18:47on arrival in London my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name and removed their hats
00:18:58and my niece the queen sent me one of the hearses
00:19:07later in the evening I feared things would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at fruity's rather drab little house somewhere in Sussex
00:19:27but George excelled as ever and revealed the work he had already done
00:19:32of course the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody
00:19:35should anyone get wind of any job hunting by his royal highness
00:19:39it might be seen as a violation of the agreement made after the application
00:19:43and his royal highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country
00:19:48but also without a pension
00:19:51so this trip must be perceived first and foremost as a literary one
00:19:56I trust you came prepared
00:19:58I brought quill and ink
00:20:02all that notwithstanding
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters
00:20:09and the only indications are most encouraging
00:20:11Walter Monkton has agreed to host a dinner
00:20:14and we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook
00:20:17Lord Dudley
00:20:18the American ambassador
00:20:20and the foreign secretary Selwyn Lloyd
00:20:23oh
00:20:24Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold a little supper party for you
00:20:28oh dear Cecil
00:20:31and his inedible food
00:20:59do we really have to do this?
00:21:01indulge me
00:21:03I'm interested
00:21:06can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09no
00:21:15lanky bugger isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome
00:21:19door to door salesman in a hideous shiny suit
00:21:23where's his box?
00:21:25what box?
00:21:25the one containing his brushes
00:21:27oh no look
00:21:28come on
00:21:29I'll be late
00:21:29hairbrushes
00:21:30floorbrushes
00:21:32toothbrushes
00:21:33do shut up
00:21:34as I was thinking about what to preach about today
00:21:37I considered various topics which speak to me personally
00:21:41but I thought that I would start
00:21:44with a simple question
00:21:47what is a Christian?
00:21:48the Bible tells us
00:21:51Colossians 127 says
00:21:53that a Christian
00:21:54is a person
00:21:55in whom Christ dwells
00:21:58it's Christ in you
00:22:00the hope of glory
00:22:02it means
00:22:03that you have a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ
00:22:08that encounter
00:22:09has taken place
00:22:10you have received Christ
00:22:13as Savior
00:22:15and that
00:22:17is what a Christian
00:22:18is
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much
00:22:28you do speak with such wonderful
00:22:30clarity and certainty
00:22:32I find it very reassuring
00:22:35and it's not only me
00:22:37the rest of the country
00:22:39too I imagine
00:22:40yes
00:22:41we've been surprised ourselves
00:22:43at the turnip
00:22:44really?
00:22:45well you shouldn't be
00:22:47in an increasingly complex world
00:22:49we all need certainty
00:22:50and you provide it
00:22:52well that's not me
00:22:53scriptures provide
00:22:56yes but
00:22:57you illuminate them so well
00:23:01the great joy that I felt today
00:23:04was that of being
00:23:04a simple congregant
00:23:06being taught
00:23:08being led
00:23:09you see as head of the Anglican church
00:23:11in terms of rank
00:23:12even the
00:23:13the great archbishops
00:23:14of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me
00:23:18above me
00:23:18there is only God
00:23:20well that must be lonely sometimes
00:23:22yes it is
00:23:26which is why
00:23:27it's lovely
00:23:28as Queen
00:23:30to be able to
00:23:30just disappear
00:23:31and be
00:23:34a simple Christian
00:23:37yes
00:23:40above all things
00:23:42I do think of myself
00:23:43as just a simple Christian
00:23:47it's the values of Christian living
00:23:49that root me
00:23:51guide me
00:23:53define me
00:24:00have you always been such a good speaker
00:24:02I was actually a shy child
00:24:05no
00:24:07speaking as a shy child myself
00:24:09I have to say that I find that very hard to believe
00:24:11no ma'am
00:24:13it's true
00:24:14the first time
00:24:16I've spoken public
00:24:18I was 12 years old
00:24:19at school
00:24:20the school principal told my mother
00:24:23he thought I was a natural
00:24:25that of all things
00:24:27I had a gift
00:24:29I had a gift
00:24:39I have a gift
00:24:40I was just a big gift
00:24:40I had a gift
00:24:40and I also reach the sots
00:24:40in the and the
00:24:40lad me
00:25:29I have no objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:02Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:34Dear Botherham.
00:26:37We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all, my council of war, my brains trust, politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much needed dollar reserves.
00:27:40A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:27The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:28The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:32The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:35The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:37The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:38The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:42The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:44The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt near Eisenhower in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernhard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmid, Dr. Paul Schmid.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmid
00:32:11asked his assistant, von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned.
00:32:24The vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:35hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say
00:33:23the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31I'm unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting
00:33:41that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man
00:33:49you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:28I hope you haven't seen it yet.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Parent Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:32Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like
00:35:39we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like to look at would be the role of Ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future, his Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today.
00:36:38Who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again, your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:38:00The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:38:01Your majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:26Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one.
00:38:38And might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway.
00:39:02One or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you,
00:39:13I made sure the support would be given by government,
00:39:16and I've been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent,
00:39:30Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner,
00:39:43working with the Commonwealth Relations Office
00:39:46to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think,
00:39:51as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:57Entertaining.
00:40:02Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians supported by the French and the British
00:40:34are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:44Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi high command.
00:40:50Well, it's utter nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940,
00:40:56it states that you were considering publicly going against the government
00:41:00and pledging your support for peace with Germany,
00:41:03thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support,
00:41:08the German government offered you a home in Spain
00:41:11where you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety
00:41:15while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas
00:41:23because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers,
00:41:29you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace
00:41:32was in complete agreement
00:41:35with your own point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king,
00:41:57I was committed to the idea,
00:42:00passionately committed,
00:42:02that England and Germany should never be enemies again
00:42:05after the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication
00:42:10of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that
00:42:15we were the ones that made a monster of him
00:42:18by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands,
00:42:24they grandstands,
00:42:25pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war,
00:42:32millions more dead,
00:42:34when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit,
00:42:42I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:49Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumors and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything all right?
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:37Goodness, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:46I think it's time that he'd be forgiven.
00:43:48Are you mad?
00:43:49You can't forgive that man.
00:43:51Why not?
00:43:52What he did to this country.
00:43:53Those were different times.
00:43:56He's explained all that to me.
00:43:58I bet he did.
00:44:00Philip.
00:44:03Forgiveness is very important to me.
00:44:06It's not often I say this,
00:44:08so perhaps if I do,
00:44:10you will take it seriously.
00:44:17Ask...
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you.
00:44:23Tell him of your proposed course of action.
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that.
00:44:28Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing.
00:44:32Go and see him in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea or human blood,
00:44:38whatever that monster drinks.
00:44:40And ask him about your uncle.
00:44:43He was his private secretary while he was king.
00:44:45He knows everything there is to know.
00:45:27your majesty.
00:45:28Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:43It's those uniforms.
00:45:46Nineteenth century? Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is the Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo?
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:15Yes.
00:46:24I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life.
00:46:30And as an example of a Christian in a Christian country, to forgive.
00:46:39Your majesty, that would, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:51Before you make your decision, ma'am, I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:06Yes, ma'am.
00:47:09The Duke of Windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king.
00:47:14Surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor,
00:47:28who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive me, ma'am,
00:47:34with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
00:47:54It became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box.
00:48:00But we needn't have worried.
00:48:02Because then we had the application.
00:48:09Having promised to retire from public life, we now know that he had no such intention.
00:48:15Why else would the pair of them decide to visit Hitler in Germany?
00:48:28The Führer labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:33So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip at the home of Herr Hesse that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England.
00:48:50Effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father
00:48:54In return for German forces being given free reign across Europe
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion
00:49:05If necessary
00:49:06And there were visits to SS training schools
00:49:10And early versions of the concentration camps
00:49:13And of course, the full horrors were yet to come
00:49:16Nonetheless, he visited
00:49:26Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34When a German aircraft crashed in Belgium
00:49:37Carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of France
00:49:41The Duke wasted no time
00:49:42In letting his Nazi friends know
00:49:45That Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information
00:49:49Which gave Germany time to change its plans
00:49:54And in less than a month
00:49:56Paris fell to German occupation
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all
00:50:02The Duke told the German government
00:50:05That resolve in the United Kingdom
00:50:07In the face of the German aerial bombardment
00:50:09Was weakening
00:50:10And that continued bombing
00:50:13That is, the continued slaughter
00:50:15Of his fellow countrymen and former subjects
00:50:18Would, I quote
00:50:19Soon
00:50:21Make Britain ready for peace
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up
00:50:53In one three-letter word
00:50:56S-I-N
00:50:58Sin
00:51:01From Psalm 58
00:51:03The wicked are estranged from the womb
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born
00:51:08Speaking lies
00:51:09God looks
00:51:11God looks
00:51:12Down
00:51:13Inside
00:51:14God sees
00:51:16How you really are
00:51:17Down inside
00:51:18Now you may be out with Legion T
00:51:20We're fine
00:51:21Culture
00:51:22A church member
00:51:23A good standing in the community
00:51:25But it's your heart
00:51:26War from God
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country
00:51:40I was keen to help you
00:51:42And weighing it all up
00:51:45The amount of time that has passed
00:51:49And my affection for you, personally
00:51:52All spoke in its favour
00:51:56But
00:52:00But
00:52:01On balance
00:52:04I think not
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10That under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication
00:52:13You are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15Only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign
00:52:20Yes
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission
00:52:29Who's fed you
00:52:30This poison
00:52:32Your mother
00:52:34No
00:52:36Tommy Lassell's
00:52:38I came to my own mind
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you
00:52:44The last royal to have a mind of his own was me
00:52:46And that's why they threw me out
00:52:49Fine
00:52:50I will go
00:52:53But let me ask you this
00:52:56Who has done more damage to the monarchy
00:52:59Me with my willfulness
00:53:01Or you lot with your inhumanity
00:53:08We all closed our eyes
00:53:10Our ears
00:53:11To what was being said about you
00:53:15We dismissed it
00:53:16As fabrications
00:53:18As cruel chatter
00:53:19In light of your decision to give up the throne
00:53:22But when the truth finally came out
00:53:25The truth
00:53:29It makes a mockery of even the central tenets of Christianity
00:53:33There is no possibility of my forgiving you
00:53:36The question is
00:53:38How on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:54:10How on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:54:26The word sir
00:54:29Morning
00:54:29Morning
00:54:30Morning
00:54:31Morning
00:54:33Morning
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:33You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today
00:55:54because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:04Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:38But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:57Mere mortals.
00:57:00We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:16The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:57God himself, humbly and sincerely.
00:58:02God has done the best.
00:58:04For the sake of God.
00:58:16The Lord can forgive you.
00:58:17God has healed our sins from the world.
00:58:17For the sake of God.
00:58:17I believe God has saved his sins.
00:58:18He said death.
00:58:20He can heal the sins from the world.
00:58:21He said death.
00:58:26Father has healed.
00:58:27Father has healed.
00:58:27Father has healed and healed.
00:58:50You're saying one for me?
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Put it well, then.
00:58:57We all know you have the ear of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am, I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06Not me and you're drunk, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take guests?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your dear...
00:59:14Your dear...
00:59:15Your dear ma was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38It's you.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50On the contrary, it's entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57Oh, it is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:36No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:40No.
01:00:40No.
01:00:41No.
01:00:41No.
01:00:43No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:03No.
01:01:04No.
01:01:04No.
01:01:05No.
01:01:06No.
