00:22:27where you'll make a speech to ex-servicemen
00:22:29at the Royal Yacht Club, then by ferry
00:22:31to visit a school near Mangrove Bay
00:22:32on Westbury Island, then you'll host
00:22:34a garden party here at the Battle's House
00:22:37for a thousand or so guests
00:22:38where we're hoping to find a moment at the ceremonial
00:22:41planting of a tree.
00:22:42We'll find a moment during any of this to use the lavatory.
00:22:45I do hope tomorrow's better.
00:22:48I'm afraid not, sir.
00:22:49Up at 4.30
00:22:50for a 6am flight to Jamaica.
00:22:55Oh, here we go again.
00:22:57Waving like lunatic.
00:22:59Oh, God.
00:23:01With any luck, one day they'll all own television sets
00:23:03and they won't come out like this again.
00:23:06Man, sir.
00:23:07Just before we take off, I thought I might go through
00:23:09the itinerary for our first day in Jamaica.
00:23:12Goody.
00:23:12Yes, sir. Do sit down, Michael.
00:23:15We arrive at noon to be greeted by the governor,
00:23:18representative of the West Indian Islands
00:23:20and a guard upon our beformed
00:23:22by the Jamaican assembly.
00:23:28This is the picture we shall never forget in Jamaica.
00:23:33The lovely lady
00:23:34and the tall, handsome figure of the sailor,
00:23:37her husband.
00:23:39So near to our children
00:23:41that they can almost be touched.
00:23:44So graceful and so near...
00:23:46Colonel Charter has thought you might like to see the speech
00:23:48for tomorrow night, ma'am.
00:23:50Give you a chance to prepare.
00:24:01Oh, dear.
00:24:03Would you bring me a pencil, please?
00:24:06Ma'am?
00:24:07And ask Colonel Charteress
00:24:08if you'd be so kind as to come see me in the morning.
00:24:35Good morning, sir.
00:24:36Good morning, sir.
00:25:01Come in, Martin.
00:25:02You're wrong, Hans.
00:25:04The speech for the ambassador's reception tonight.
00:25:07Yes, ma'am.
00:25:09This was written for my sister.
00:25:10Very well written.
00:25:12Manifesting for her in her register.
00:25:15Reflecting her character, if that's the right word.
00:25:18As we both know, I have a different character.
00:25:21Indeed.
00:25:22And since I shall be deputising for my sister tonight,
00:25:25I was wondering if I might make
00:25:27one or two minor adjustments to the text.
00:25:30Ma'am?
00:25:31Give it a bit more colour.
00:25:33Make it feel a bit more like me.
00:25:36Breathe a little life into it.
00:25:37I'm sure Her All-H highness appreciates him.
00:25:42There will be important people
00:25:45at the reception tonight
00:25:47of different backgrounds,
00:25:50different sensibilities,
00:25:51and speech has been carefully calibrated
00:25:54to avoid giving offence.
00:25:56And I'd suggest to avoid entertaining, too.
00:25:59It's not the sovereign's place to entertain.
00:26:03And I'm not the sovereign.
00:26:04I understand that,
00:26:05but you will be there in her place.
00:26:20What about the state diadem, Tiara?
00:26:22Or the Cambridge lovers, not?
00:26:24Those are her majesties,
00:26:25for state occasions.
00:26:27Her majesty won't mind.
00:26:29Besides,
00:26:30are people not coming tonight
00:26:31expecting to meet a queen?
00:26:34Yes,
00:26:35shouldn't we be giving them one?
00:26:42Oh,
00:26:58yes.
00:27:03Shouldn't we be giving them one?
00:27:11Your excellencies,
00:27:14I'm delighted to be here tonight
00:27:16deputizing for my sister, the queen,
00:27:19who was fortunate enough
00:27:20to be on her travels
00:27:21somewhere between Bermuda,
00:27:23Jamaica, and Fiji.
00:27:26Distracted,
00:27:27no doubt,
00:27:29by waving fields of sugarcane
00:27:31and graceful palms,
00:27:33by deep blue water
00:27:36beyond white coral sands,
00:27:38by dramatic green hills
00:27:41thick with vegetation
00:27:42and the subtle rhythms
00:27:44of dancing and singing.
00:27:47But more vivid,
00:27:49more brilliant,
00:27:50even,
00:27:51than the colours
00:27:52of those lovely islands
00:27:53or the echoes
00:27:55of that music
00:27:56or the welcome
00:27:57of cheerful
00:27:58and friendly people
00:27:59wherever my sister may travel
00:28:01is what I see
00:28:02as I look out
00:28:03from this stage tonight.
00:28:07As I look out
00:28:08at all of you tonight.
00:28:10My,
00:28:11don't you all look wonderful
00:28:15and shimmering
00:28:16when positively exotic?
00:28:20And what fine company
00:28:22we have here tonight?
00:28:23Our ambassador
00:28:25to the United States of America,
00:28:26Sir Roger Makins.
00:28:27The only honest thing
00:28:28to come out of Washington.
00:28:32Or our dashing ambassador,
00:28:35Alec Kirkbride,
00:28:36in Libya.
00:28:37Just one single, ladies.
00:28:41Oh, and of course,
00:28:42Sir Charles Peake
00:28:42and his wife from Greece.
00:28:43A country
00:28:44which has brought us
00:28:45many things.
00:28:46Philosophy,
00:28:47democracy,
00:28:49my brother-in-law.
00:28:55So to all of you,
00:28:57I say welcome.
00:28:58As a rule,
00:28:59the food here
00:29:00is pretty ordinary.
00:29:01The wine is usually
00:29:02rather good
00:29:03and I've made sure
00:29:04there is plenty of it.
00:29:07So I have no doubt
00:29:09we will have
00:29:10a wonderful evening.
00:29:26It felt so good.
00:29:28My sister talks
00:29:29all the time
00:29:30about how she isn't
00:29:30suited to it well.
00:29:32I was born for it.
00:29:34I know.
00:29:36Afterwards,
00:29:37I told them
00:29:37to put as many engagements
00:29:38in the diaries
00:29:38they like
00:29:39for the next few months.
00:29:41Well, why not?
00:29:43Oh, couldn't you
00:29:44come watch me in action?
00:29:46Just once.
00:29:47If I thought it were
00:29:47without risk,
00:29:48I would in a flash,
00:29:49but if the papers
00:29:50get hold of it.
00:29:50Darling,
00:29:51papers love us.
00:29:53People are for us.
00:29:55Hmm.
00:29:55In their eyes,
00:29:56we can do no wrong.
00:30:10Ready?
00:30:10I know.
00:30:12Almost.
00:30:12You go ahead.
00:30:17Just give me a moment,
00:30:18please, gents.
00:30:19I'll be right with you.
00:30:20Okay?
00:30:21Of course.
00:30:21I've been going
00:30:22on the first day,
00:30:23can't we?
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:32There was
00:30:33an ambassador's
00:30:33reception in London
00:30:34last week.
00:30:35Apparently,
00:30:36Margaret was dazzling
00:30:37and brilliant.
00:30:39Would you have preferred
00:30:39she make a mess of it?
00:30:42No.
00:30:45Perhaps.
00:30:47Is that awful of me?
00:30:49Yes.
00:30:50Well, now you know
00:30:51you didn't marry a saint.
00:30:52I knew that.
00:30:53Still, I wouldn't worry.
00:30:54I have great faith in her.
00:30:55In Margaret?
00:30:56And her ability
00:30:57to mess things up
00:30:58in the long run.
00:30:59Or outshine me.
00:31:01And mess things up.
00:31:02And outshine me.
00:31:13That's unlike you.
00:31:17Sorry.
00:31:24You know,
00:31:25there is a danger
00:31:26we might be able
00:31:26to do it yet.
00:31:27Perhaps
00:31:29it would be prudent
00:31:31to take a few things out.
00:31:33I mean,
00:31:3557 Australian towns
00:31:36in 58 days.
00:31:38Maybe we don't
00:31:39visit all of them.
00:31:45No.
00:31:48No.
00:31:51No.
00:31:51We keep every appointment.
00:31:54No cancellations.
00:31:56Not one.
00:32:01I'm afraid
00:32:02the day
00:32:02does hold
00:32:03some challenges,
00:32:04ma'am.
00:32:04The route's
00:32:05ten miles
00:32:06and the street's
00:32:06already packed.
00:32:08How long
00:32:08will it take?
00:32:09I've allowed
00:32:09two hours.
00:32:10Two hours?
00:32:11In a hundred
00:32:12degree heat?
00:32:13I could ask them
00:32:13to increase
00:32:14the driving speed
00:32:15a little,
00:32:16but I think
00:32:17the horses
00:32:17might struggle.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18We'll be fine.
00:33:14Here she is at last,
00:33:16amongst us.
00:33:19Charming our people
00:33:20in city after city.
00:33:23Open-handed Sydney first.
00:33:26Then,
00:33:28good-hearted Adelaide.
00:33:31On to
00:33:32venerable Hobart,
00:33:33nestling of the
00:33:34cool feet of
00:33:35Mount Wellington.
00:33:40That's it.
00:33:41The castle of May.
00:33:44Isn't she
00:33:45Bonnie?
00:33:48Oh,
00:33:49yes.
00:33:53And what a view!
00:34:06Oh, my God.
00:34:25Captain Invert Terry.
00:34:28Commander Viner.
00:34:30Lady Doris.
00:34:32And, uh...
00:34:36We've met.
00:34:38I don't think so.
00:34:39Yes. Yes, yes.
00:34:41It's your... your face.
00:34:44It's very familiar.
00:34:46Don't say a thing. It'll come to me.
00:34:49May we come in?
00:34:51Yes, yes.
00:34:56Well, if you were to be interested in property,
00:34:59I've got to be entirely honest.
00:35:01The, uh... the roof...
00:35:05does need a... does need a bit of work.
00:35:08And one or two windows might need replacing,
00:35:10and the, uh... the electricity does need, well...
00:35:14installing.
00:35:15And there's no dining room to speak of,
00:35:18nor bathrooms.
00:35:19And I sold off
00:35:21most of the good shooting and fishing.
00:35:23Oh, dear. You're really not a salesman.
00:35:25In fact, the place is in such a state,
00:35:28I'd sooner make a gift of it.
00:35:30I'm afraid I'd be quite unable to accept.
00:35:33Why not?
00:35:35It'd be frowned upon.
00:35:36It's something to do with who I am.
00:35:39You're an actress.
00:35:40A famous film star.
00:35:44No.
00:35:44A singer, then?
00:35:46No.
00:35:47It's on the tip of my tongue.
00:35:54It, um, dates back to the, uh...
00:35:57to the mid-17th century.
00:36:00It was in the, uh...
00:36:01It was in the same family for 14 generations.
00:36:04We born.
00:36:06In 1939, my wife and I had been there.
00:36:08Very happy years ago.
00:36:11War came...
00:36:12Yes.
00:36:17Institution is... is all this.
00:36:20Stopped smiling.
00:36:22No.
00:36:22The trouble is, I have the sort of face
00:36:24that if I'm not smiling,
00:36:25then everyone says,
00:36:26oh, isn't she cross?
00:36:28No, that's not...
00:36:29What...
00:36:30What do you think, doctor?
00:36:32It's a spasm.
00:36:33The muscles are overworked.
00:36:36Rest ought to fix it, though.
00:36:37Like I said, stop smiling.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40I have an engagement this evening.
00:36:42So what can be done?
00:36:44Well, I could inject the affected area
00:36:46with a relaxant.
00:36:48You'd have to watch yourself with soup, though.
00:36:51You might find you have less control
00:36:53chewing and drinking.
00:36:54And it's not a long-term solution.
00:36:57Oh.
00:36:58All right.
00:36:59I'll have the injection.
00:37:01Good God.
00:37:02What?
00:37:02And dribble soup all over your dress.
00:37:04Do you know...
00:37:06The other night,
00:37:07I woke up with my right arm out
00:37:09from under the bedclothes.
00:37:10Do you know what I've been doing?
00:37:11I'd been waving to the crowds
00:37:13in my sleep.
00:37:16All right.
00:37:21Hold still, please.
00:37:23Your Majesty.
00:37:36American planes, guns, and ammunition
00:37:38are helping the French and Vietnam forces.
00:37:41Russian and Chinese weapons
00:37:43are aiding the Vietnam.
00:37:48Princess Margaret dons white overalls
00:37:50when she visits Calvert and Colliery
00:37:51in Nottinghamshire.
00:37:53A visit to the coal face,
00:37:54a quarter of a mile underground,
00:37:55is included in her tour of the colliery,
00:37:58which is recognized
00:37:58as one of the most modern in Europe.
00:38:01After almost an hour underground,
00:38:03the Princess brings back a souvenir,
00:38:05a piece of coal she hewed herself.
00:38:07Did you enjoy the mining,
00:38:09your Royal Miners?
00:38:10I did, very much.
00:38:12Although it's jolly dusty down there.
00:38:14Some even went into my mouth,
00:38:16but I can assure you
00:38:16it tastes delicious.
00:38:18How experienced the conditions
00:38:20do you have sympathy
00:38:21for the miners that work there?
00:38:22One couldn't fail to have sympathy
00:38:24for anyone who has to spend
00:38:25their working life down there.
00:38:28Intolerably dark,
00:38:29and hot, and cramped.
00:38:31To my eyes,
00:38:32it seems conditions
00:38:33are still very perilous
00:38:34for these poor brave men
00:38:35who've worked on the ground
00:38:36for so very little.
00:38:38And what would you say
00:38:39to the authorities
00:38:40regarding the matter?
00:38:42Ah, no,
00:38:43I have nothing further to say.
00:38:45Who's the coal for?
00:38:50I have someone
00:38:51very special of mine.
00:38:54Group Captain Townsend?
00:38:58Are you missing him?
00:39:01Yes, I am.
00:39:02Very much.
00:39:04And are you missing your sister,
00:39:06Her Majesty the Queen?
00:39:09Not quite as much, no.
00:39:22Why not did you say that?
00:39:24What?
00:39:24That you missed me.
00:39:25I did.
00:39:26I do.
00:39:27I know, but that wasn't wise.
00:39:29Why not?
00:39:32Darling,
00:39:35you can't use a public occasion
00:39:37to take a dig at your sister like that.
00:39:40Wouldn't you start too?
00:39:41It's just,
00:39:42the palace won't like it.
00:39:44And we need the palace on our side.
00:39:49Who is it you think you'll be letting down anyway?
00:39:51A koala?
00:39:53This whole thing is a circus.
00:39:55It's a miserable circus.
00:39:58Trudging from town to town
00:40:00with the dancing bears.
00:40:07What are you doing?
00:40:08No, I'm taking back this small pleasure.
00:40:10You've taken away too much.
00:40:11No, no, no.
00:40:12Go think you'll kill the...
00:40:16Forty a day your father smoked
00:40:17and now I know why.
00:40:18Poor bastard.
00:40:19You know,
00:40:19he probably took one look at this tour
00:40:21and thought,
00:40:21do you know what?
00:40:22I'll be better off with cancer.
00:40:24Shut up.
00:40:28What is it you're trying to prove?
00:40:30What is it you want to hear him say?
00:40:34Bravo, Lilibet.
00:40:36Manage the whole tour.
00:40:38Lilibet never lets you down.
00:40:41Ticked every box.
00:40:43Never put a foot wrong.
00:40:45Now, finally,
00:40:47I love you more than I love Margaret.
00:40:49Get out!
00:40:50Get out!
00:40:51Get out!
00:40:51Get out of me, Paul.
00:40:52Fuck you.
00:40:56Beat it!
00:40:56Don't you dare!
00:40:57I'm back here!
00:40:58Crushed!
00:41:06Get out!
00:41:10Get out!
00:41:36Let me go and have a word.
00:41:38No.
00:41:43I'll do it.
00:41:52I'm sorry for that little interlude.
00:41:57Although I'm sure it must happen in every marriage.
00:42:02Now, what would you like me to do for your newsreel?
00:42:29Another gift for your majesty.
00:42:37Your royal highness, when you appear in public performing official duties, you are not you.
00:42:46Of course I am me.
00:42:47Expressing political opinions about working conditions in mines.
00:42:52That business at Sadler's Wells.
00:42:55And no one wants you to be you.
00:42:57They want you to be it.
00:42:58A statue.
00:43:00A thing.
00:43:01The crown.
00:43:02That's what they've come to see.
00:43:03Not you.
00:43:05The minute you become yourself, you shatter the illusion.
00:43:09Break the spell.
00:43:11What people want is someone to inhabit it.
00:43:15Not be frightened of it.
00:43:16Make it flesh and blood.
00:43:18Bring it to life.
00:43:19Your uncle.
00:43:20Edward VIII.
00:43:21Threatened to do just that.
00:43:23Impose his individuality on the institution.
00:43:27Bring it to life.
00:43:28And he almost destroyed it in the process.
00:43:31You can't seriously be comparing this to the abdication.
00:43:34No.
00:43:35But I have decided that all remaining royal engagements in the Queen's absence should be carried out by the Queen
00:43:41Mother.
00:43:44My mother is in Scotland.
00:43:46So I gather.
00:43:47But I've sent someone to bring her back.
00:43:51Right away.
00:43:54Your Royal Highness.
00:44:02We said 11.
00:44:03What time is it now?
00:44:05Well, it's nearly noon.
00:44:07Good mess.
00:44:08And I say it all in such good time.
00:44:10Did you come along the coast?
00:44:13I did.
00:44:14You didn't factor in the wind.
00:44:17You were into the wind this morning.
00:44:20Wasn't I just?
00:44:21The good news is you'll fly back.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:26Now...
00:44:31I've, um...
00:44:32I've had a chance to do some thinking.
00:44:35I've spoken to my lawyers and I've come up with some
00:44:38that I think is a fair price for this magnificently situated castle.
00:44:44Yes, yes. Go on.
00:44:46Brace yourself.
00:44:49One hundred pounds.
00:44:53What?
00:44:54Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:55Is that too dear?
00:44:58No, it's absurd.
00:44:59On the contrary, it's entirely fair, given it'll end up costing you tens of thousands.
00:45:04Are you sure?
00:45:06No.
00:45:06The question is, are you sure?
00:45:14I am.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:18Congratulations.
00:45:19I hope you'll be very happy here.
00:45:23I have a feeling I will be.
00:45:24I can get the place cleared out inside a week.
00:45:27Oh, only if you've somewhere to go.
00:45:29I...
00:45:29I do.
00:45:30My sister's a few miles down the coast.
00:45:33Now, will I walk you back to the Viners, downwind?
00:45:36That'd be lovely.
00:45:48That'd be lovely.
00:45:53Your Majesty.
00:45:57Forgive me for disturbing you.
00:45:59I come from the Prime Minister.
00:46:02He asks that you return to London immediately.
00:46:04Immediately.
00:46:05Whatever for?
00:46:06This is all the information that I have.
00:46:12It seems I must go.
00:46:16Oh, my God.
00:46:19He's finally come to you.
00:46:23Why on earth didn't you say, ma'am?
00:46:27Because people always make such a fuss.
00:46:31And stop being themselves.
00:46:35And you'd have doubled the price.
00:46:39Spoken like a true Scotswoman.
00:46:41I'm afraid.
00:46:58Can you tell me?
00:46:58What do you want?
00:46:59See you soon?
00:47:01There's no way too much.
00:47:01I'm afraid to be out there.
00:47:01Just do anything out there.
00:47:01You've got a big deal for me too.
00:47:01They'll play you.
00:47:01You've got a big deal for me.
00:47:10Just do anything.
00:47:10I'm gonna...
00:47:12Now, my speech at the letter, there was one adjustment that I would like to make.
00:47:18I would like to refer to Malta as my island of happy memories.
00:47:26Very good, ma'am.
00:47:28I can have the text retyped for your approval.
00:47:37Now, there do remain some security concerns about Gibraltar.
00:47:42What concerns?
00:47:44Death threats are sent to all the leaders of the major political parties,
00:47:49telling them that if our tour were to go to Gibraltar, our safety can't be guaranteed.
00:47:56I told them we should pull out.
00:47:59Why?
00:48:00You mean why? Because I don't much fancy shuffling the streets of Gibraltar like a sitting duck.
00:48:07No.
00:48:09Pulling out at this late hour will make us look weak.
00:48:12And it would be a great disappointment to the people of Gibraltar.
00:48:15I say we go.
00:48:16I say we don't.
00:48:24I am aware that I am surrounded by people who feel that they could do the job better.
00:48:32Strong people with powerful characters.
00:48:36More natural leaders, perhaps better suited to leading from the front, making a mark.
00:48:41But for better or worse, the crown has landed on my head.
00:48:45And I say we go.
00:48:55The Royal Yacht Britannia sails towards Gibraltar.
00:48:59Visible on deck, Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
00:49:03Accompanying, Britannia, 15 A-class destroyers from the Mediterranean Sea.
00:49:12A powerful signal to the people of Gibraltar, of the Queen and the British Empire's enduring support.
00:49:43The Royal Yacht Britannia has already marked Her Majesty as a woman of death.
00:49:51Her return to London after 50,000 miles, by air, land and sea, is a triumph of diplomacy at a
00:49:59challenging time for the Empire.
00:50:03Not a single item of the enormous list of engagements has been missed.
00:50:09Millions have seen and beaten their Queen as she leave the Commonwealth charmed and united.
00:50:18It is already clear that Her Majesty will occupy a place among the famous queens of history.
00:50:24And promises a renewed role for Britain in the modern world.
00:50:30The Empire secure across the four corners of the earth.
00:50:34Marking the start of a new Elizabethan age.
00:51:02Mark, the Prime Minister is alive.
00:51:12You can't get away from me!
00:51:16The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
00:51:21Congratulations, Your Majesty.
00:51:23Thank you, Wester.
00:51:24An unqualified tribe.
00:51:26And their escape, I see.
00:51:27Could so easily have gone the other way.
00:51:28Well, but it didn't.
00:51:30And has put us right back where we belong.
00:51:33Higher, in fact.
00:51:35And before the tour, our great nation was in danger of losing much of its status.
00:51:43Our influence.
00:51:44Our standing.
00:51:45Your courage and conviction prevailed.
00:51:50This time, perhaps.
00:51:52But in time, they will surely grow tired of it.
00:51:55Grow tired of us.
00:51:56Only if the Crown, and the people representing the Crown,
00:52:02make mistakes, errors of judgement.
00:52:05My dear sister.
00:52:07Yes.
00:52:09What would you have me do?
00:52:21Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:22Your Majesty.
00:52:23Her Royal Highness is on her way.
00:52:27I'll give that to you, my Lord.
00:52:28It's all right.
00:52:29I have been here before.
00:52:32Do you know the way?
00:52:45What in there?
00:52:46Yes, ma'am.
00:53:13Yes, ma'am.
00:53:23What have I done to deserve this?
00:53:25The brief was simple.
00:53:28Perform minor ceremonial tasks with a minimum of fuss.
00:53:33Not end up all over the newspapers.
00:53:35I can't help it if they want to write about me.
00:53:38Well, it would help if you didn't give them what they crave.
00:53:41Character and excitement.
00:53:43Kin stability and drama.
00:53:44Well, at least I give them something.
00:53:46You give them nothing.
00:53:47I give them silence.
00:53:49Silence is nothing.
00:53:51It's the absence of noise.
00:53:53Emptiness.
00:53:54Blank page.
00:53:55Which allows others to shine.
00:53:57But the monarchy should shine.
00:53:58The monarchy, yes.
00:54:00Not the monarch.
00:54:03Reparations will need to be made.
00:54:06To whom?
00:54:08To the people you offended.
00:54:11A general to whom, when asked if you'd like to dance,
00:54:14you replied, yes, but not with you.
00:54:17I believe there was also a debutante who you managed to make cry,
00:54:20and the dancers of Sadler's Wells,
00:54:22whom you refused to meet after arriving late for the performance.
00:54:26You showed individuality.
00:54:29And that made people panic.
00:54:31They don't want individuality.
00:54:33The last person who showed character almost took the ship down.
00:54:40You are enjoying this.
00:54:43Not a bit.
00:54:44Yes, you are.
00:54:49Admonishing your unruly young sister.
00:54:55Have you ever thought how it must be for me?
00:54:57Many times.
00:54:58At great length.
00:55:00Wistfully.
00:55:00You have a role.
00:55:02A clear set of rules.
00:55:04All you have to do is follow them.
00:55:06Margaret, you have freedom.
00:55:07All you have to do is enjoy it.
00:55:09You think that I am free.
00:55:11To be constantly in your shadow.
00:55:13Constantly the overlooked one.
00:55:15It looks like heaven to me.
00:55:16What you have looks like heaven to me.
00:55:26Two sisters who envy one another.
00:55:30You wouldn't be the first.
00:55:38Pride and joy.
00:55:42Remember what Papa called us?
00:55:45Yes.
00:55:48Elizabeth is my pride.
00:55:50And Margaret is my joy.
00:55:53But Margaret is my joy.
00:55:58I am sorry.
00:55:59I have to claim the few victories I am left with.
00:56:03And we are not disputing it surely.
00:56:07What?
00:56:08That I was Papa's favourite.
00:56:17It is a cruel truth to it, isn't it?
00:56:21There are two sisters so close in age that.
00:56:24More wonderful than me.
00:56:24The one becomes one thing.
00:56:25The more the other necessarily becomes the opposite.
00:56:30But vice versa.
00:56:31It's the way of things.
00:56:34If one is the queen, it must be the source of honour and all that is good.
00:56:38The other necessarily becomes the focus of the most creative malice.
00:56:47Evil sister.
00:56:49No one says you're evil.
00:56:51Next to you, I'll always be evil.
00:56:54Evil.
00:56:55Fictus.
00:56:57Lost.
00:57:00Lesser thing.
00:57:06And yet you spend so much time telling me that I'm a lesser thing.
00:57:12Only to give myself a moment's peace.
00:57:26would you consider doing it for me just from time to time what putting a foot wrong
00:57:33the occasional mistake let the side down so i might not be so conspicuous a failure by comparison
00:57:41you're tired no i'm not not tired
