00:00:00You
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:18What?
00:02:29Come on.
00:02:30What?
00:02:32Run.
00:02:35Come on.
00:03:06Come on.
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.
00:04:21Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:26Come on.
00:04:35Come on.
00:04:38Come on.
00:04:40Come on.
00:04:42Come on.
00:04:42I don't know.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:34Don't you knock, sir?
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, ever.
00:06:34The publication 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.
00:07:56THE END
00:08:16The Capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain of the American Evangelist team headed by
00:08:22Billy Graham. Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped
00:08:28platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong. We have all got a strength. With everyone turned to his
00:08:40own way, and when you turn to your own way...
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. Precisely. 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.
00:09:04There'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.
00:09:35Hope for society. Hope for the world.
00:09:38Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling. Any zealot shout?
00:09:46When 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.
00:09:55You 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, Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:36Well done.
00:10:50Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't mind.
00:10:56It's me, it's me, it's me.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:43I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48Thank you, my 다음에.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me. The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens, then at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends?
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:57George, why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice, who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government, for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be
00:15:31perceived as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the
00:15:41church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32It's 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.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There'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.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:35The company on the boat was dreadful, too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting 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,
00:18:54who 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.
00:19:21Rosie.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:25Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba, dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:33Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should 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.
00:19:44And 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,
00:19:55as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:01All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:09And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the Foreign Secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:28Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can 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.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:28You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me, above me, above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I've spoken public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:30That, of all things, I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:38have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:38have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:39have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:46have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:46have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:47have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:47have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:47have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:48have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I
00:24:50have to say that I have to say that I have to say that I have to say that
00:24:58I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have any 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.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:26:00Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:11Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are. Plot as all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abounds?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:31Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you, sir.
00:26:38We 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...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:27:00That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my council of war, my brains trust of politicians, artists and philosophers.
00:27:10Something 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.
00:27:37Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man the charm.
00:27:43Contacts.
00:27:43Influence.
00:27:45And 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.
00:28:42But all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving the 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.
00:29:06Oh, can 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.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:25I can truthfully say, all is well.
00:29:29Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:40Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You're ready for your hand, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennett.
00:29:54The senior historian in charge of publishing the German war files,
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.
00:30:31See you later.
00:30:33In 2007, one of the the
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.
00:31:18American troops
00:31:19arrested a German soldier
00:31:21as he was retreating from
00:31:25Trefurt,
00:31:26near Eisenhower,
00:31:29in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Leugnant von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out
00:31:37this soldier was Hitler's
00:31:40personal translator.
00:31:43The assistant
00:31:45to Hitler's personal translator,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator
00:31:48was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:53Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:03When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt
00:32:11asked his assistant,
00:32:13Von Lersch,
00:32:14to dispose of all the top secret papers
00:32:17which he had placed in archives,
00:32:22and Von Lersch duly burned
00:32:24the vast majority.
00:32:29But
00:32:30he secretly kept
00:32:32the most valuable material
00:32:34hoping to use it
00:32:36to negotiate his freedom
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:32:42The
00:32:42most valuable material,
00:32:51hoping to use it
00:32:52to negotiate his freedom
00:32:54and to escape trial.
00:33:05among the papers
00:33:06which Von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file
00:33:09pertaining to
00:33:10Anglo-German relations,
00:33:12in particular
00:33:13the relationship
00:33:14of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness,
00:33:18the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say
00:33:23the reality
00:33:25exceeded even
00:33:25our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything
00:33:29we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy
00:33:32had been sent
00:33:33to the Americans.
00:33:39who are now insisting
00:33:41that this volume
00:33:42of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:47And this is the man
00:33:49you inexplicably
00:33:50let back into the country.
00:33:57I hope you have
00:33:58a strong stomach.
00:34:31And this is the man
00:34:45I don't know.
00:35:14I don't know.
00:35:34And having given the matter careful thought, it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:05His 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.
00:37:19Your 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, French 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, a job, that while I'm clearly no longer a young man,
00:38:36I'm also not yet an old one, and might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country, the greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway, one or two ideas came up for jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government, and I've
00:39:17been 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, Gatwin 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, working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, 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.
00:40:18During the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:24Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:29Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications.
00:40:46Detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while 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 because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point 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.
00:41:55As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, 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 rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:05Not again, not again, not again, not again.
00:43:25It's all right.
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32средzvoodoo.
00:43:33what about forgiveness what have i done now no not you uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not what he did to this country those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did
00:44:03philip forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you what and tell him of your proposed course of action
00:44:26i can't keep summoning him like that why not well he's retired for one thing i'd go and see him
00:44:33in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea or human blood whatever that monster drinks
00:44:40and ask him about your uncle he was his private secretary while he was king
00:44:46he knows everything there is to know
00:45:06i know
00:45:14so
00:45:26your majesty tommy it's terribly inconvenient ah you're mid-battle yes ma'am now don't say
00:45:40anything ah yes those uniforms 19th century yes and that standard is Duke of Wellington very good
00:45:52ma'am so it's Waterloo Salamanca ah these troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's third infantry division
00:46:05very lovely did you have them made a gift ma'am from your grandfather when I was in his service
00:46:14shall we ma'am yes
00:46:25I'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
00:46:55of the facts I've read the Marburg files so have I I said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more yes 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 men such as Carl the Duke of Saxe-Coburg a renowned
00:47:22Nazi he also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor who was herself we
00:47:30believe sharing a bed forgive me ma'am with the German ambassador Herr Ribbentrop
00:47:54it became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret insensitive papers in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried because 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
00:48:29the Fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit so it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess that the plan was hatched a plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as
00:48:48King of England
00:48:50effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion if necessary and 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 nonetheless he visited
00:49:27shall I continue ma'am
00:49:34when a German aircraft crashed in Belgium carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of France the Duke wasted
00:49:42no time
00:49:42in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information
00:49:49which gave Germany time to change its plans
00:49:53and 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 in the face of the German aerial bombardment was weakening
00:50:10and that continued bombing
00:50:13and that continued bombing
00:50:13that is the continued slaughter of 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

00:51:25but it's your heart
00:51:26the heart of 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 united kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure
00:52:16and invitation
00:52:17of the sovereign
00:52:20yes

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
00:52:48fine
00:52:50i will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage
00:52:58to the monarchy
00:52:59me with my
00:53:01willfulness
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
00:53:17as 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
00:53:43what i have done
00:53:56with the law
00:53:56with the death
00:53:56the law
00:53:57it would be a failure
00:53:57the law
00:54:07we are not
00:54:08we need the law
00:54:08the law
00:54:10we are not
00:54:10we are not
00:54:13Oh, sir.
00:54:14Bye, sir.

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
00:55:53i asked you here today because
00:55:56there's something that
00:55:57i'd very much like to hear your views on
00:56:01ma'am
00:56:04forgiveness
00:56:08are there any
00:56:10circumstances do you feel where
00:56:13one can be a good christian
00:56:16and yet not forgive
00:56:21christian teaching is very clear on this
00:56:23no one is beneath forgiveness
00:56:26dying on the cross jesus
00:56:28himself asked the lord to forgive those that killed him
00:56:33yes
00:56:37but
00:56:39we must remember his words
00:56:41they know not what they do
00:56:45that forgiveness
00:56:46it was conditional
00:56:48true
00:56:49but he still forgave
00:56:51god himself
00:56:53forgives us all
00:56:55who are we to reject
00:56:56the example of god
00:56:57mere mortals
00:57:00we are all mortals
00:57:02that is our fate
00:57:03but we need not be
00:57:05unchristian ones
00:57:17the solution
00:57:18for being unable to forgive
00:57:21one asks for forgiveness
00:57:23oneself
00:57:24humbly
00:57:25and sincerely
00:57:28and one prays for those that one cannot forgive
00:57:31yes
00:57:39you
00:57:47you
00:57:47you
00:57:48you
00:58:50Saying one for me?
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Push 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.
00:59:04I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:05Not me in this front, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your day...
00:59:14Your day...
00:59:15Your day-mar 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?
00:59:38You.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50Or the contrary, it was 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.
01:00:19No.
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!
01:00:49No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:04No!
01:01:06No!
01:01:07No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:09No!
01:01:15No!
