04:18as well. When you have a sister who is supreme governor of the Church of England and defender
04:26of the faith, it's sometimes a little difficult to separate the two. What is the next record?
05:01ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:23That's enough. I said that's enough.
05:29ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:44That was an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake,
05:47performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andre Previn.
05:52And the significance of that?
05:57I've always had a special love for the ballet.
06:01There are some things one cannot express in words, and dance is a language of its own.
06:08And, of course, I used to enjoy dancing myself. Never ballet, though.
06:12Any favorite dance partners over the years?
06:14I certainly won't be disclosing that.
06:18In any case, such exertions are best left to the young.
06:23One always has one's memories.
06:25Tell us about your next choice.
06:31STARDUST
06:31By Hoagie Carmichael
06:34You play the piano yourself, of course.
06:36Yes, I had lessons from a young age.
06:40My sister had lessons in constitutional history, and I had piano.
06:48Is music your first love?
06:53One has many first loves.
06:58When one reaches a certain age, one cannot help embarking on an audit of the heart, a review.
07:05One considers all those loves, those dreams and youthful passions, in the context of a whole life.
07:15And it's interesting to note what endures.
07:18Some that remain and become lasting loves, and some that fade and one realises were probably never true loves at
07:27all.
07:28Thankfully, music has been a constant in my life, and I expect it shall remain so.
07:35Does this final record have any special meaning for you?
07:39It does have special meaning, yes.
07:42And that is?
07:43Yes. Let's leave it at that.
07:47This is STARDUST by Hoagie Carmichael.
08:01Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
08:19And I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
08:29In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
08:41In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
08:50It will remain my stardust melody, the memory of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
09:01And I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
09:11In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
09:38In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
09:46In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
09:54I will be standing next week at the Caledonian Club.
09:56Oh, for the crew who served on HMS Vanguard.
10:01Peter Townsend.
10:03Yes.

10:07Oh, it must be 35 years ago.

12:49i was a bit rough around the edges american of course
12:53but i've been away so much on duty with the navy

13:48or some soul
13:50so
13:51that's pretty
14:00it's
14:01it's just the sheer humiliation of it all
14:05which is why this time

14:10but
14:10or mention the d word
14:15diplomacy

14:41yes
14:43she was a breath of fresh air
14:46modern

14:47buckets of fun
14:49that laugh
14:50that laugh
14:51so infectious
14:51yes
14:54but that's what we do in this family
14:57destroy anyone that's different
14:59not at the beginning of course
15:01first we tell ourselves how good they'll be for the system
15:04they'll be our
15:05salvation
15:06our secret weapon
15:08make us look more modern
15:10normal
15:13human
15:15and we learn the same
15:17painful lessons yet again
15:19that no one with any
15:20character
15:21originality
15:23spark
15:24wit and flair
15:25has a place in the system
15:30dear peter
15:31it was a great pleasure to hear from you again
15:34and i look forward to seeing you on the seventh
15:38i would say keep your eyes open for a diminutive 60 year old prune
15:42but mercifully time hasn't touched me at all
15:45and i'm entirely unchanged since our last meeting in 1955
16:12i would say keep your eyes open for a minute
16:20I'd like to see you.
16:22Roger Carter.
16:27Harold Armstrong Scott.
16:30I'd like to see you again.
16:32Martin.
16:34And the former Aquari to his majesty of king.
16:41Come on, honey.
16:44Peter.
16:47Having danced a little too vigorously with the princesses,
16:52join me with the festivities.
16:55I and I expect the rest of you
16:57will never forget the beauty of the Drakensburg Mountains,
17:03Victorian forms,
17:05endless deserted beaches,
17:09as well as the Port of Elizabeth.
17:30I wish you all.
17:33I wish I could.
17:49Oh, Margot, please, certainly put some color in your cheeks.
17:55Does he have a name?
17:57Tim.
17:59Does he make you happy?
18:02Are you in love?
18:05I think I am.
18:07Does everyone disapprove?
18:09Oh, almost certainly.
18:11Then take it.
18:14Fight for him.
18:16Ah, this song.
18:18And that's my cue to leave.
18:20Are you going so soon?
18:22Yes.
18:23Goodbye, darling.
18:24So, Joan, hope.
18:27This song used to be your cue to stay.
18:30I know, but I...
18:32I'm afraid I must insist.
18:39No, no.
20:10That was lovely.
20:13I hope we don't leave it another 40 years or meeting again.
20:18Well, as it happens, I shall be back in London soon.
20:25And there are some things I'd like to return to you.
20:29The letters.
20:32Oh.
20:33Not as a rejection.
20:36I kept them all.
20:39Reading them, it took me back to that time.
20:41And I thought, they're so precious.
20:45I'm not getting any younger, and if anything should happen, I'd hate to see them fall into the wrong hands.
20:51So I...
20:54Well, I thought better with you.
20:58Well, that's very thoughtful of you.
21:01As it happens, I kept all your letters, too.
21:05Every one of them.
21:11Good night, Peter.
21:13Good night to you, Royal Homes.
21:34Princess Royal, Your Majesty.
21:37Good darling.
21:38Mummy.
21:44Oh.
21:46My book.
21:47Almost finished.
21:50So many other riveting things to read, too.
21:54Don't.
21:56Anyway.
22:00I'm here to talk about Tim.
22:03Tim?
22:05Commander Lawrence.
22:07Oh.
22:09Are you two still...
22:10We are.
22:12And I'm here to say we intend for it to be permanent.
22:18As in, till death do us part.
22:21What?
22:23You hardly know one another.
22:26Almost three years, Mummy.
22:29And the ink is barely dry on your divorce from Mark.
22:33And in the climate, we find ourselves.
22:36With so much scrutiny on the family.
22:41Are you sure it wouldn't be wise to...
22:44Wait?
22:46Wait?
22:47Just a little.
22:49Darling.
22:50I'm glad you found happiness.
22:52I know how difficult it was in the end with Mark.
22:54But of all the families you could have been born into,
22:57fate has endowed you with this one.
22:59With everything that goes with it.
23:01Including the fact that your mother is Supreme Governor of the Church of England
23:04and remarriage when the first husband is still alive,
23:07as you well know,
23:09is not only frowned upon,
23:10it is forbidden.
23:11I, of all people,
23:13hardly need reminding of the requirements of being in this family.
23:18I have dedicated myself to my role,
23:20bent myself into shape,
23:22placed duty above all else,
23:23including more often than not my own happiness.
23:26Five engagements a day,
23:29300 days a year for the past 24 years.
23:32Well,
23:34you cannot have all of me.
23:37And I will not give all of me.
23:40And I will marry Tim.
23:56In you go.
23:57In you go.
23:58Good girl.
24:00How was that?
24:02Fine.
24:06Let's just go.
24:07Wait.
24:11Wait.
24:20Come on.
24:21Come on.
24:51Dreaming of a song, the melody haunts my reverie, and I am once again with you, though I dream
25:04in vain, in my heart it will remain, my stardust melody, the memory...
25:18Your Royal Highness, as requested, I will be accompanying you on a short ride to Grigowan Lodge tomorrow, weather permitting.
25:26Group Captain Peter Townshend.
25:33Your Royal Highness, I've been meaning to thank you for your kindness in Balmoral.
25:39You may have thought your kind act went unnoticed, camouflaged as you were in your green tartan skirt and tweed
25:46jacket.
25:46It did. It did not.
25:51My darling Margaret, it was reckless of you to visit me in my office today.
25:56My stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
26:05Reckless and magnificent.
26:10I do love you so.
26:25Darling Margaret, it seems the world has intruded our private Eden and wants to forbid our love.
26:37They're banishing me, sending me away like a criminal.
26:44I hate to think of you suffering, a creature made for happiness, but hold to our pact, stay true to
26:54one another in spite of everything.
27:01Margaret, I write to you with a heavy heart.
27:04I have just returned to Brussels from a year abroad around the world.
27:09A young woman named Mary Luce accompanied me on this trip as my secretary and photographer.
27:16Her companionship has been one of the few joys in my life.
27:20I have decided to ask her to marry me.
27:24I know you will feel betrayed by this decision.
28:19Prince Harming, they're calling me.
28:23now amid endless other calumnies and lies i know you've always tried to see both sides of the
28:30marriage but will you now finally agree that official separation is the only sensible course
28:36if it were just incompatibility or infidelity that would be one thing but
28:46the sheer vindictiveness of that morton book
28:50and then the temerity to insist that she had nothing to do with it i've i've done as you asked
28:56mummy i've i've tried to make it work for 11 years but there comes a point i have been no
29:05stranger
29:05this year to my children's marital difficulties but while ann's and andrew's problems are deeply
29:12distressing yours are in a category of their own because you as future king are in a category of
29:18your own at my coronation i took an oath that you will one day take at yours to maintain the
29:25laws of
29:26god and god's law is that marriage is for life and while it is expected for the monarch to be
29:34married
29:34and produce an heir being happily married is a preference rather than a requirement
29:41you also took a solemn promise to maintain and protect the crown diana won't rest until she's
29:48blown the whole thing up is that what you want
29:57it's funny isn't it i for years i've called for a more modern monarchy that reflects the world outside
30:05but look at the rates of family breakdown out there and then look at us
30:09margaret divorced ann divorced right andrew humiliated and and heading for divorce
30:16me trapped and dreaming of divorce and you talk about moral examples
30:21if we were a ordinary family and social services came to visit they'd have thrown
30:27us into care and you into jail that's enough
30:31we've got our modern monarchy all right just not in the way we hoped
30:44it begins to look like parental failure the gravest kind
30:51and yet the duke of edinburgh and i could not have been more clear with the children about how
30:55important we consider marriage to be
31:01i have every sympathy my own daughter is divorced my son is separated all we can do
31:12is asked for god's guidance how did it come to this
31:21our generation was brought up to believe that marriage was an ideal and divorce was a problem
31:28this generation
31:32yes
31:34but the prince and princess are not yet separated
31:38there is still hope of reconciliation
31:43and we all pray for it
31:49we do
31:54daily
32:15the
32:16the
32:30coming in of a fire at windsor castle with flames
32:33our witness said flames and smoke are visible from the roof of the north east wing
32:38the majesty is being kept informed of the operation and it's understood she's on her way to the scene
33:04it went up like a tinderbox those were the words of one observer about this blaze which despite the efforts
33:10of the fire service still shows no signs of being brought under control
33:14the entire north terrace is ravaged by flames fire crews are working determinedly to stop them spreading
33:21and destroying some of britain's most priceless treasures
33:25it's now about six hours since this fire started and much of the top left-hand side of windsor castle
33:31is still on fire still burning
33:33the destruction inside i'm told is absolutely enormous
33:37the destruction inside i'm told is absolutely enormous ceilings have come down smoke damage fire damage water damage
33:41well i was talking to one of the queen's aides and i asked him uh what she felt about what
33:46had happened and what her mood about it was
33:48and he said that she's like any mother uh watching her own home burn down
33:53she's obviously absolutely devastated people are just absolutely stunned by what's happening around them

35:10and the leonardo
35:12but tragically
35:14more than a hundred rooms including nine state rooms
35:19destroyed
35:21what about the crimson drawing room
35:24bear i ask
35:27i'm surprised you remember it
35:29of course i remember it
35:34the
35:35everyone had gone up to london for some ceremony or other
35:38it's the monday service at st paul's
35:40leaving us alone
35:45we spent a whole afternoon in the crimson room locked in conversation
35:50yes
35:53whatever were we talking about
35:57everything and nothing i suppose
35:58not nothing
36:01as i remember we were excitedly making plans for our future
36:07with such certainty and conviction
36:13like those plans i'm afraid the crimson room did not survive
36:20how sad
36:22yes
36:26i'm curious
36:28what made you write to me after all that time
36:34now life goes on forever
36:40recently i had that made clear to me by my doctor
36:43that's all
36:45well
36:48peter i'm so sorry
36:52around the same time i heard a radio interview with you
36:55and i suppose i wanted to know
36:58if our love
37:01in the context of the whole life
37:05had been a fleeting one
37:08or a lasting one.
37:39Face intense questioning over how the restoration bill will be met.
37:43Some Labour MPs say the Queen, not taxpayers, should pay for all repair work.
37:49The monarchy can't have it always a one-way system under which we, the taxpayers, pick up the bills,
37:56but they refuse to be taxpayers themselves.
37:59Neither the building nor its contents were insured.
38:02Your time that time?
38:05The very worst of times.
38:08Any idea how it started?
38:11The great metaphor.
38:14I mean, fire.
38:17The spotlight blew a fuse or something.
38:21In the private chapel, all very innocent.
38:25Or was it?
38:28Like one of those Agatha Christie mysteries.
38:33One can imagine multiple suspects, each with their own perfectly plausible motive to burn the place down.
38:41Who?
38:41My neighbour, for one.
38:44Diana?
38:45Frustrated after years of neglect, she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
38:52Though arson probably isn't violent enough for her, she'd prefer an atomic bomb.
38:58Hasn't she detonated that already?
39:00Andrew, the Duke of Eauhawk.
39:03Furious at his own mother for having led him to believe his whole life that he was irresistible and invulnerable
39:10only to discover his principal role is to be humiliated.
39:17Me?
39:21You?
39:21You?
39:24You don't think I have reason to burn down my sister's home?
39:30Why would you do that?
39:34Because of what she denied me?
39:40Peter Townsend.
39:43What?
39:46Without sun and water,
39:51crops fail.
39:53Lilibet.
39:56Let me ask,
39:57how many times has Philip
40:00done something?
40:03Intervene when you couldn't?
40:05Be strong when you couldn't be?
40:07Be angry when you couldn't be?
40:09Be decisive when you couldn't be?
40:11How many times have you said a silent prayer of gratitude for him
40:15and thought to yourself,
40:16if I didn't have him,
40:16I'd never be able to do it?
40:18How often?
40:21Peter was my son.
40:26My water.
40:29And you denied me him.
40:31I denied you as queen,
40:34not as your sister.
40:36The conditions are irrelevant.
40:37The prohibition is what counts a prohibition, incidentally.
40:41You are not now extending to Anne.
40:43That is different.
40:45How is it different?
40:48Anne is a royal princess with no prospect of acceding to the throne,
40:52as was I.
40:54Commander Lawrence is a palace equerry,
40:57marrying scandalously above his station.
40:59Peter was a palace equerry,
41:01hoping to marry scandalously above his.
41:03Anne and Commander Lawrence are in love.
41:05Peter and I were in love.
41:06In both cases,
41:08one party is a divorcee.
41:09The situation is identical in every way,
41:12except for the outcome.
41:15She is being allowed to marry him.
41:20I wasn't.
41:24Her story ends happening.
41:30I did not.
41:31I did not.
41:36And yet, even after 40 years,
41:42you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge what happened to me
41:46and the part you played in it.
41:48Yeah.
42:27I don't know.
42:59Thank you, Peggy.
43:01Your Majesty.
43:02Mummy, that's a surprise.
43:05I've been told you're unwell.
43:07It's just a cold.
43:09I heard fever.
43:10In which case, the only sensible course is bed rest.
43:14It's a lunch to celebrate me.
43:16I can't pull out.
43:17Yes, you can.
43:19And I don't want to pull out.
43:27I've also taken a look at the speech.
43:30You know the three questions we always ask ourselves.
43:33Does it need saying?
43:35Does it need saying now?
43:37Does it need saying by me?
43:40To describe it in this way, Annus Horribilis.
43:45People will remark on it.
43:47Not just because of the theatrical deviation into Latin.
43:50What's your point?
43:51My point, since we're speaking Latin now, is tempus fugit.
43:59Time passes.
44:00People will move on and forget.
44:01Make a statement like this.
44:03No one will forget.
44:05Quite apart from the fact it's an expression of personal sentiment, the kind of which we do not make.
44:10Mummy.
44:10And it could also be interpreted as an admission of our failings, which will only encourage further attacks.
44:18It has been, by some margin, the worst year of my reign.
44:22Quite possibly my life.
44:24I'm happy for people to know.
44:27Know what?
44:28That their queen is depressed.
44:30That I'm made of flesh and blood.
44:33And that perhaps we have fallen short in our duty as a family.
44:38And owe them an apology.
44:41Apology?
44:44That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary.
44:49Monarchy is the only part of the Constitution with an element of the divine.
44:55When you wear the crown, you are transfigured.
45:00Apologizing, Sal, is not just your dignity, but God's.
45:04Whose will it is that you are who you are.
45:09Actually, I'm not sure if there's anything to be gained by that.
45:13Yes, there is.
45:15Her peace of mind.
45:18She's done God's will about as immaculately as any human for the past 40 years.
45:24She's earned the right to say anything she likes.
45:28And it's our job to support her.
45:32Unconditionally.
45:32Since when have you sung that tune?
45:34Since day one he sung that tune.
45:36Day one.
45:44Now, if you don't mind, we're due at the Guildhall.
45:59Bill.
46:00Stand to run.
46:00There's the only world hearing happening.
46:02Royal.
46:03Salute.
46:14Please be upstanding, while I'm actually pleased.
46:18My Lord Mayor, the anniversary of any occasion is a time to reflect.
46:28But in light of the events of the last 12 months, perhaps I have more to reflect on than most.
46:391992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure.
46:47It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
46:54No institution is beyond reproach, and no member of it either.
47:02The high standards we in the monarchy are held to by the public must be the same benchmark to which
47:11we hold ourselves personally.
47:13If we can't admit the errors of our past, what hope for reconciliation can there be?
47:28Today, I'd like to pay tribute, if I may, to my family.
47:37Today, throughout the four decades, I have been on the throne.
47:42They have quite literally been my sun and water for all the sacrifices they have made.
47:53Indeed, to all of you here, whose prayers and well-wishes have been a source of strength to me this
48:03last 40 years,
48:06I say thank you.
48:09Please be upstanding for a close and a close and a close and a close.
48:45For the record, no-one blames you.
48:50On the contrary, everyone blames me all of the time.
48:53And you're right to.
48:56This system of which the sovereign is the principal beneficiary is horribly hard on the rest of you.
49:03You too?
49:04That's the job.
49:05Let's face it.
49:10Come and have lunch here tomorrow.
49:12We could get a little bit tipsy, make light of it all.
49:17The fire, the job, the children, Peter Towne's end.
49:23I'd love to.
49:26But sadly, I'm going to Carlisle to open a business park.
49:29Oh.
49:30Then Penrith.
49:31Oh.
49:32The Scots Guard Association.
49:35Then Kirby Stephen in Cumbria to visit the Factory of Heredities.
49:40Then I'll have to get sloshed on my own.
49:43With rum.
49:44Rum?
49:45You're not drinking rum like some pirate.
49:49No, rum.
49:52My dog.
49:56Oh.
49:59It's funny.
50:01I'm here with brandy and sherry.
50:07What does that say about us?
50:12Good night, Lilibet.
50:15I do love you.
50:20I love you, too.
50:22Very much.
50:27God, that was middle class.
50:29Promise me we'll never do that again.
50:30Never.
50:33Good night.
50:35Good night.
50:44Sometimes I wonder
50:47Why I spend
50:50The lonely night
50:53Dreaming of a song
50:56The melody
51:00Haunts my reverie
51:03And I am once again with you
51:07When our love was new
51:11And each kiss and inspiration
51:17Oh, but that was long ago
51:20Now my consolation
51:23Is in the stardust of the sun
51:28Beside
51:30A garden wall
51:33When stars are bright
51:35You are in my arms
51:40The night
51:41The night
51:42The night
51:42The night
51:42The night
51:42Tells his fairy tale
51:45Of paradise
51:47Where roses
51:48Grew
51:49Though I dream
51:51In vain
51:55In my heart
51:57It will remain
51:59My stardust melody
52:03My stardust melody
52:03The memory of love's refrain
52:36My stardust melody
