00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:51It's not a head.
00:05:07She's with me.
00:05:07Come along.
00:05:13He's awake?
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:50Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Luisa.
00:06:00Venetia.
00:06:02have they told you terrible things your colleagues downstairs it is said you can
00:06:15be difficult I can be a monster did they say that yes sir that's true but you
00:06:22need to be a monster to defeat Hitler did Jock give you my box he did sir
00:06:28what's in it you'd like me to open it unless you have x-ray vision you will
00:06:35need to open it so as to be able to tell me what's in it what else some papers from
00:06:49the Exchequer anything from the Foreign Office about America and the Soviet Union
00:06:54no sir then start with the Exchequer read it aloud don't be alarmed if you hear no
00:07:03response I shall be making mental notes the economic what
00:07:19the economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949
00:07:31um worse than 1947 confidence in sterling is impaired now our latest estimates suggest that in 1952 the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit on its general balance of overseas payments of between five and six hundred million pounds
00:07:52given the circumstances I'd be interested to hear that the PM's views regarding the chances to recover
00:08:12either we get rid of him now or we lose the next election and quite possibly lose power for a
00:08:18whole generation you must act Anthony this is your time the country needs a younger more dynamic man
00:08:25and what do you expect me to do
00:08:27hmm
00:08:31he's the party leader
00:08:34and he became party leader
00:08:36on our recommendation
00:08:40I can't just push him out
00:08:43then you must go and see the one person
00:08:45who can
00:08:46who
00:08:46who
00:09:14are
00:09:32Thank you very much.
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at treetops, so we've got to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Oh, why? What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:08Why does everybody think just because we're royal, we like fine dining, don't they?
00:10:13I don't realise the savage is good for nothing but school to listen to nursery food.
00:10:17It's all right. You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Philip.
00:10:20Look. Stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:37Your old highness.
00:10:39Kiss me.
00:10:44Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:15His majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today.
00:11:22No, not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday, but we can provide you with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:31Nine and a half.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58It focuses almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union.
00:12:04So important domestic matters...
00:12:09...are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:19Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend, as Albert Windsor, you are the one person I can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:42Difficulties, I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47That person was murdered by his elder brother when he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill...
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us.
00:13:11And that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out, is quite the stickler.
00:13:19And no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister, then stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir?
00:13:33The national interest or Anthony Eagin's interest.
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience, not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate
00:14:00mine about you.
00:14:02Sir, the PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted, to encourage, to warm.
00:14:18It is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27And have high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:53Someone begins to walk back, sir.
00:15:17There we go.
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:21There you go.
00:15:22You've got it now.
00:15:23You've got it now.
00:15:24You've got it now.
00:15:25You've got it now.
00:15:27You've got it now.
00:15:27I think you'll be all right.
00:15:30I'll put from here.
00:15:31It looks that way, sir.
00:15:34Your Highness.
00:15:37I'm your guide.
00:15:38I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Very good.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle.
00:15:44And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop.
00:16:03This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right.
00:16:09We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please.
00:16:12Arms late.
00:16:31Allow them to doubleibi.
00:16:32Take pi.
00:16:32Where's the fuck from?
00:16:34Oh my God!
00:16:34der!
00:16:35Right.
00:16:35Shut the fuck!
00:16:35White flag.
00:16:37Remarket on the roof.
00:16:38What?
00:16:39There's no place!
00:16:40What!
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:12Go.
00:17:13Right, Your Highness, stay close.
00:17:15Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Hey, hey, hey.

00:17:36Around.

00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:50Stay with me.
00:17:50Now, keep going, Your Highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Good day.

00:18:13Good boy.
00:18:15Good boy.
00:18:18Good boy!
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:33You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:44I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve,
00:18:55well, I thought I'd ask if we might return to Malta
00:18:58so you can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:05I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:09I have.
00:19:12Well, I have too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:34No.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:36Absolutely not.
00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No, no.
00:19:38Come on, just one.
00:19:39Come on, just one.
00:19:40No, there's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Shh.
00:19:45Timber, Timber.
00:19:53No.
00:20:00Oh, my God.
00:20:35Anyone not here? Speed out!
00:20:42Right.
00:20:44Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:48moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight,
00:20:57not to worry, you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short parts on the horn.
00:21:07Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:09Are you ready?
00:21:13Fill the vehicle.
00:21:14Thank you very much.
00:21:19Hello.
00:21:20Room for one more?
00:21:21Always.
00:21:27Right.
00:21:28Easy on the clutch, eyes on the road.
00:21:31Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:44Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
00:21:49When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
00:21:55Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
00:22:01Am I?
00:22:06Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:11He is cold, I agree
00:22:16I agree
00:22:18He can laugh, but I love him
00:22:23Although the laugh's on me
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him
00:22:34And long for the day when I cling to him
00:22:41He'll wish, bothered and bewildered
00:22:48Am I?
00:22:50Or am I?
00:22:55I'm?
00:22:56I'm?
00:22:57I'm?
00:23:00I'm?
00:23:08I'm?
00:23:10I'm?
00:23:11I'm?
00:23:12I'm?
00:23:12I'm?
00:23:13I'm?
00:23:13I'm?
00:23:13I'm?
00:23:13I'm?
00:23:14The crowd's cheers heralded the arrival of the King's Car,
00:23:17bringing their Majesties and Princess Margaret to the airport for a last
00:23:22farewell to the royal travelers. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were
00:23:26off on a Commonwealth journey. Nineteen hours later the Royal plane landed at
00:23:31Nairobi. Ahead of them lay a thirty thousand mile trip that will take them in
00:23:36five months to four continents. The journey which but for his illness the
00:23:40King himself would have undertaken was almost underway.
00:23:55Oh
00:24:19good morning your majesty 7.30 sir
00:24:28sir
00:24:47the
00:25:03the
00:25:04the
00:25:10I'm not here.
00:25:21Don't worry.
00:25:22My key was just lost.
00:25:27No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:47No!
00:25:49No!
00:25:52No!
00:25:53No!
00:25:55No!
00:25:55No!
00:25:58No!
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:28Oh, my God.
00:26:58Has the princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the governor in Nairobi.
00:27:40We're trying to find a mystery.
00:28:10We're trying to find a mystery.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't.
00:28:33We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35You think any other reporters anywhere in the world will be waiting for an all clear?
00:28:39I've had the BBC on the phone again.
00:28:41The news is breaking everywhere.
00:28:43They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news of the princess?
00:28:47No, sir.
00:28:48Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:29:00God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All we have to do is make sure the fan is off and wait.
00:29:10No, stop!
00:29:13She's just, she's overheated.
00:29:15Please.
00:29:15No, can I have that?
00:29:17All you have to do is wait.
00:29:23It's all right.
00:29:23I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:30This is London.
00:29:33It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement.
00:29:37It was announced from Sandringham at 10.45 today.
00:29:41The death of the man told me it was announced this morning.
00:29:43It was his own property of Sandringham.

00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:27What is it?
00:33:30What is it that people today stems from their respect?
00:33:32I don't know what happened.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes.
00:34:21What is it, Marston?
00:34:33The king, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in his sleep.
00:34:39The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the royal family.
00:34:58He provides leadership.
00:34:58No, no, no, no.
00:35:02The Queen territories are very important.
00:35:04It doesn't seem to tell her that she's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's
00:35:10the one who's the one who's the one.
00:35:39Your Royal Highness
00:35:40This stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14You're wrong, Linus.
00:36:40I'm here, sir.
00:37:26They're going to send you away, but I won't let them up.
00:37:29I'm going to tell my mother not to send you.
00:37:31I won't.
00:37:47It's all right.
00:37:56You're not going.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:08May I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress.
00:38:27We've called ahead to London and something will be brought onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:35And a word of warning, ma'am.
00:38:38A good many journalists outside.
00:38:45Royal correspondents, mostly, assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:52Should I say something?
00:38:53No.
00:38:54That won't be necessary.
00:38:56Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am.
00:39:04Your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as queen.
00:39:10Your father took George.
00:39:12Obviously, his name is...
00:39:15was...
00:39:16Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward.
00:39:23Of course, his name was David.
00:39:25What's wrong with my name?
00:39:26Nothing.
00:39:34Well, then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40Well, then, let's not overcomplicate matters.
00:39:41My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:41My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:44Then, long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:03I'm so sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:11Well, then, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:15Ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:15I'll do it with my father.
00:40:27Oh, my god.
00:40:32What?
00:40:33Oh, my god.
00:40:34Oh, my god.
00:40:37Oops.
00:40:43Oh, my god.
00:40:45Vaya cabeza.
00:40:46Samba.
00:40:50Samba.
00:40:52Samba.
00:40:54Samba.
00:40:57Samba.
00:41:15Samba.
00:41:45Samba.
00:42:15Samba.
00:42:45Samba.
00:42:56Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:43:15See you.
00:43:37It's the middle of the night.
00:43:39I couldn't sleep.
00:43:40No one in the country could sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears, but...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife.
00:43:52Mary.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:54She said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age, your leadership, your incapacity, and to ask him
00:44:10to bid you to stand down.
00:44:11Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:12The king would never engage in such treachery.
00:44:15And Antony would never dare.
00:44:17I've been like a father to him.
00:44:20I've groomed him every step of the way.
00:44:27Well...
00:44:28Ignore me, then.
00:44:31It's probably nothing.
00:44:34Come on, it's probably nothing.
00:44:37What are you up to?
00:44:39My eulogy for the king.
00:44:42It's broadcast tomorrow, and the right words keep eluding me.
00:44:47They'll want you to fail, you know.
00:44:49I know.
00:44:51Anything less than perfect will be a disaster.
00:44:58Antony, eh?
00:45:09I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:15No.
00:45:18No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You're sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:50Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When we land.
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:21Morning.
00:46:22Morning.
00:46:23PM will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:25I'm very much tired from all the emotion of yesterday.
00:46:31So where is he?
00:46:32He's still asleep.
00:46:34So in his absence, as deputy, I will preside.
00:46:43The Queen's flight is...
00:46:45Wait a minute, Antony.
00:46:47If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM,
00:46:52shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55Well, I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:09Very well.
00:47:24Sir, the Queen's flight is now over Italy,
00:47:29having left the El Adem airfield in Libya at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:45May I just say how very sorry I am
00:47:48that we'll not be working together anymore?
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels.
00:47:56As private secretary to this offering,
00:47:59Martin, he's my senior.
00:48:01This is where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin.
00:48:07So sorry.
00:48:15Now.
00:48:19What a nightmare.
00:48:22George Lassels at least had one foot in the real world.
00:48:26And was your man, our man, on our side?
00:48:32Or was Tommy Lassels stuck in the land that time for gold?
00:48:41You asked to see me, sir?
00:48:44I did.
00:48:47Will you sit?
00:48:49Thank you, sir.
00:48:52I'd assumed that, following the death of his late majesty,
00:48:57you would, at the earliest appropriate moment,
00:49:01be resuming your duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen.
00:49:11The Queen Mother, this morning,
00:49:13who then asked me, quite unusually,
00:49:16to ask you whether you might like to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:21She felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband,
00:49:26and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28but the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:31In the light of this,
00:49:33she wondered whether you might consider
00:49:35staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller of the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:42A kind and generous offer,
00:49:43as befits the widow
00:49:45of a kind
00:49:47and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered,
00:49:53I don't expect you to accept the post.
00:49:55Hence my discouragement of the offer.
00:49:58I didn't want Her Majesty to suffer the embarrassment
00:50:00of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:04You're asking the wrong question, Townsend.
00:50:06Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero,
00:50:10still in your prime,
00:50:11controller of the Queen Mother's household,
00:50:13has no military associations,
00:50:15would take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all, the person with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy
00:50:36an uncommonly close understanding,
00:50:38which would make accepting this post
00:50:40more attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend?
00:50:47Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself
00:51:05that because no one has confronted you about it,
00:51:08that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community
00:51:17of those that serve the family,
00:51:18I regret to tell you
00:51:20that talk, ugly talk,
00:51:23unbecoming tittle-tattle,
00:51:24is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware
00:51:27of the toll
00:51:28that round-the-clock service
00:51:30takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve.
00:51:33I am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings
00:51:36generated by continued close proximity
00:51:40to the people you're working for,
00:51:42but I would hate you
00:51:43to mistake those feelings
00:51:45for anything else.
00:51:58Will you thank the Queen Mother
00:51:59for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush.
00:52:11Take your time to think it over.
00:52:1372 hours.
00:52:15A week.
00:52:17I want you to make the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir.
00:52:21The answer is yes.
00:52:38I want you to learn.
00:52:57I want you to make the right decision.
00:53:00I want you to make the right decision.
00:53:00And make a poor tiger.
00:53:07It's the one.
00:53:18Your Majesty, I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22and this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Chargers.
00:53:31I'll take over from here.
00:53:38Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:45Your Majesty.
00:53:49Martin.
00:54:11Dearest Lilibet, I know how you loved your papa, my son.
00:54:17And I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now for duty calls.
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide.
00:54:34Your people will need your strength and leadership.
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure
00:54:47to separate personal indulgences from duty.
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes.
00:54:57And while you mourn your father, you must also mourn someone else.
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten.
00:55:07For she has now been replaced by another person.
00:55:11Elizabeth Regina.
00:55:17The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another.
00:55:23The fact is, the crown must win.
00:55:31Must always win.
00:55:37Ready, ma'am.
00:55:38It's all right.
00:55:39I'll escort it out from here.
00:55:41No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind, the crown takes precedence.
00:56:06I'll be right back.
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:20Shocking, shocking.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:39Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives, which resounded far and wide.
00:57:30Stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life.
00:57:37And made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.
00:57:50The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:06Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother.
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle.
00:58:36With a heart that never quavered.
00:58:40And a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport.
00:59:06And after a good night to those who loved him best, he fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I,
01:00:14did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a
01:00:53thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the queen.
01:01:08God save the queen.
01:01:10God save the queen.
01:01:12God save the queen.
01:01:13God save the queen.
01:01:21God save the queen.
01:01:22God save the queen.
01:01:31God save the queen.
01:01:31God save the queen.
01:01:31God save the queen.
01:01:39God save the queen.
