01:08Oh Margaret
01:10I forget what about
01:12There are so many
01:14Exchanges of views these days
01:21I thought things had moved on
01:24They've moved on alright
01:25He's moved on
01:28On to the next one
01:36He can't help himself
01:39My bright epic little snapper
01:51And he's lost on their way
01:53And he's lost on her way
02:08I'm not going to be able to do this
02:08I'm not going to be able to do this
02:08No matter what you're going to do
02:10I'm not going to be able to do this
02:11Oh, my God.
02:50You've never told me about the wallpaper.
02:52The rogues' gallery. Isn't it fun?
02:56I did it to remind Princess Margaret
02:59that her family has as many skeletons in the cupboard as anyone else's.
03:03House of Windsor.
03:05House of Horrors, my leg.
03:07I hope she's on the funny side.
03:09God, no.
03:11She said as long as that wallpaper was there, she'd never come to the house.
03:14Not that she needed an excuse.
03:17She always hated it here.
03:19She considers it as ugly, misshapen, and common as me.
03:24The failure of our marriage.
03:27Could not be better encapsulated by the two houses,
03:30the two dwellings, in which she and I are most comfortable.
03:35Hers is some insect-infested gin palace, given to her by fawning sycophants.
03:44And this is mine.
03:57My advice would be to escape while you still can.
04:01I'll never be able to give you what you want.
04:04She'll never divorce me.
04:07Well, she might if she falls in love with someone else.
04:12What makes you think that'll happen?
04:15Well, you did.
04:18Didn't you?
04:24You're right.
04:28I did.
04:57What makes you think that'll happen?
06:00The Tories look uneasy to reach the magic number of 318.
06:05I'm sure it was her.
06:09The Thing.
06:10She has a name, you know.
06:13Yes.
06:14And, um, I had been told it, but I can only remember, so I call her The Thing.
06:21Lucy Lindsay Hall.
06:22Mm-hmm.
06:24The Thing.
06:25The car she climbed into outside looked very much like Tony's.
06:32I suppose they're in Sussex now.
06:35Ugly little house.
06:38Dread for little shit.
06:44And he thinks I'll take the humiliation lying down, does he?
06:49Well, he's got another thing coming.
06:53May I speak frankly now, as a friend?
06:58I can think of several couples of whom it could be observed that having not found the contentment
07:04they desired within matrimony have chosen to live apart and appeared happier.
07:10Tony and I will never let go of one another.
07:13And it's not just because divorce is incompatible with my faith.
07:17Because this is just how we like it.
07:24War is our love.
07:26Brutal fight to the death is our mating dance.
07:29And I speak for both of us when I say we wouldn't want it any other way.
07:37Contentment is dull.
07:39And Tony and I are anything but dull.
07:42You can now say with mere certainty that neither party will achieve a majority.
07:47So, the clock is now ticking for 10 feet to firm an alliance with Jeremy Falk's Liberal Party.
07:53If he can't, you might rise to a return to power for Harold Wilson,
07:56if you can call a minority government power.
07:59What a mess.
08:01I mean, honestly, can you remember a time when the country was in worse shape?
08:04When one had as little confidence in one's leaders?
08:07Speaking of bad shape.
08:08One wakes up in the morning flinching.
08:11How could matters get any worse?
08:12What more could possibly go wrong?
08:14And then you come down to breakfast, you see the newspapers,
08:16and you realise they've done it again.
08:19Margaret's birthday is coming up.
08:21I mean, right now, the United Kingdom is the equivalent
08:23of a patient dying on the operating table and the surgeons.
08:27No, the butchers.
08:28No, sorry, the murderers responsible for causing that death
08:31are seeking re-election.
08:32Instead of throwing them in jail,
08:34there are people like lemmings queuing up to extend their bloody contracts.
08:38She called me late last night.
08:40Said she had something important to discuss.
08:43Who?
08:44Margaret.
08:45She's run out of tonic?
08:47No.
08:48She's been knocked up by one of the footmen?
08:50Philip.
08:51You wouldn't put it past her.
08:53I worry it's Tony.
08:55I'm taking for Ted Heath to form an alliance with...
08:59Ready?
09:03Mr. Heath came to tell me that he was unable to form a co-relation with the Ulster Unionists
09:07or the Liberals, which left him with no alternative but to resign.
09:11At which point, I don't mind admitting, I let out an unconstitutional cheer.
09:15Huzzah.
09:16Privately, I hope.
09:17Well, it's not his politics I object to, so much as his company.
09:20And now, Mr. Wilson, who I must say looks very tired, not at all well,
09:25is back again as Prime Minister of a minority government.
09:28And the best we can hope for is that he can survive until the next election in the auction.
09:48I have asked you all here, my family, on the occasion of my birthday.
09:56Happy birthday, Margot.
09:58You don't notice that my dear husband is not at my side on this joyous occasion.
10:02It is because he is now betraying me, and not just in private, but openly in public, too.
10:08And I don't think we should take this lying down.
10:11We.
10:11Yes, we, Mummy.
10:13If Tony insults me by implication, he's insulting the whole of the family, too.
10:17I'm not sure I followed that logic.
10:19What would you like us to do?
10:20Send a clear signal to the world whose side you're on.
10:24And impose sanctions.
10:27What?
10:27What kind of sanctions?
10:29No more invitations to royal events.
10:32No more royal photographs.
10:33No more access to crown property.
10:36It's him where it hurts.
10:38Punish him.
10:40Draw blood.
10:40Where is he now?
10:41He left the country this morning to make one of his films.
10:46Oh, Ghana, or did you say Guinea?
10:49Gabon.
10:49Ah.
10:50With the thing.
10:51The what?
10:52I'll explain later.
10:53I rather liked his last film.
10:55Is it the one about dwarves?
10:56I'll tell you what I liked about it.
10:57Yes, it's sore.
10:58It had compassion.
11:00It had kindness.
11:02In fact, I think that's the thing I most like about Tony.
11:04And his wit.
11:05Yes.
11:06And the fact that he's generous enough to flirt with his mother-in-law.
11:10He'll throw up.
11:12He cares.
11:13All right, Mummy.
11:14He has a heart.
11:15Yeah, not that his wife or children have noticed.
11:17Does his charity work for the disabled?
11:19And the way he was at Aberdeen.
11:21Yes.
11:22He's the mother-in-law.
11:32Why do you do this, Mummy?
11:35Why do you all do this?
11:37Why do you always, always take a side?
11:41This is my birthday party.
11:45And when I tell you that my husband is out of the country,
11:49betraying me with another woman,
11:51instead of supporting me
11:55and condemning him,
11:57you just sit here, praising him to the sky.
12:04My family.
12:06My own flesh and blood.
12:08My birthday.
12:15Perhaps we'll just stick to the back teeth of you
12:17and have sympathy for him.
12:19Philip, well...
12:21Am I wrong?
12:23Like, hands up anyone who thinks I'm wrong.
12:26Anne.
12:33We should eat these before they get cold, shouldn't we?
12:35Mrs. Joy.
12:36She'll be all right.
12:37I hate them.
12:38I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.
12:40I hate them.
12:50You might even enjoy it.
13:02I hate them.
17:42He's quite the virtuoso.
17:50Where's him?
17:52The one with all his clothes on.
17:53Well, that's Roddy.
17:57You must know his brother, Di.
18:00Or his father, Harry Llewellyn, the Olympic showjumper.
18:05Roddy.
18:08Hello.
18:15Your royal highness, how do you do?
18:18You're...
18:19You're perspiring?
18:22You're a man.
18:23Oh, he's a good trip.
18:23It's a little bit...
18:23So, why don't you jump in the pool?
18:25Well, I didn't bring any trunks.
18:27That was stupid.
18:27No, it wasn't.
18:28Yes, it was.
18:29I just said it was.
18:30It can't be stupid.
18:32I don't possess any trunks.
18:34It's not just stupid.
18:35That's absurd.
18:37Where's the nearest town?
18:41Oh.
18:46You know, this really wasn't necessary.
18:49On the contrary. It was essential.
18:52I mean, everyone else coming along too.
18:56Hmm? They're not coming with us. I wouldn't let them.
19:00No, they're going for lunch while we go shopping.
19:05So, apart from owning a wayfully inadequate wardrobe, what is it that you do?
19:12A research assistant at the College of Arms.
19:16Which involves genealogical research and boning up on heraldry.
19:21I also have a mobile disco company called Vibrations.
19:25And I clean the floors in a gallery on the Fulham Road at night.
19:29But all of this is just to fund my real passion.
19:32Not to the end of the answer yet.
19:34I'm rather regretting asking.
19:36What nice hands you've got?
19:40Have I?
19:41Hmm.
19:43How nice you've not noticed.
19:46So nice when a man is unaware of his best features.
19:51So sad when a lady hides hers.
19:55Did you mean ladies?
19:57Did you mean ladies?
19:59No.
20:00What then?
20:03Your smile.
20:09I forgot now.
20:12I forgot now.
20:23Where are we?
20:24People's, ma'am.
20:27Where?
20:32This is the hotel.
20:34We'll be in the bar waiting for you.
20:36The department store's just over there on the right.
20:38You can't miss it.
20:40Would you?
20:41Please.
20:52God.
20:55We've stumbled upon an experiment in its presence.
20:58In breeding.
21:02Your royal highness.
21:04Gentlemen's bathing trunks, please.
21:07What size are you?
21:09Small.
21:10Sincerely hope not.
21:12He means slim.
21:24Did we ever get to the place where you told me your passion in life?
21:27No.
21:30Then what is it?
21:32Gardening, ma'am.
21:36Ah.
21:38These, please.
21:40No.
21:42These.
21:43I'm paying.
21:44I choose.
21:45Try them all.
21:53Oh.
22:08No.
22:09Not a garden.
22:10It means doing.
22:12Do you?
22:13I imagine you must have an army of gardens.
22:15Hmm.
22:15Don't believe everything you hear.
22:18You know, my garden is quite neglected.
22:21Especially the one in Mustique.
22:23Where?
22:25It's a small private island in the Caribbean.
22:31So lovely.
22:31Hmm.
22:33My husband hates it.
22:35Since I hate my husband.
22:37What he thinks is irrelevant.
22:38You know, in the Caribbean, I have one of my favourite trees.
22:43A silk cotton tree.
22:46A challenge for any gardener is to judge the right amount of pruning.
22:50Is that so?
22:52Well, you need very nimble fingers.
23:03And do you have nimble, as well as pretty fingers?
23:09I do.
23:14Hmm.
23:15Perfect.
23:16She goes.
23:37So now a duet.
23:39Duet!
23:50I'm just a girl.
23:52A wonderful girl.
23:53I'm the sweetest one in town.
23:55You could touch some miles around.
23:58But not one like me, kind of all.
24:01You've got a smile.
24:02A wonderful smile.
24:04And a certain little way.
24:06And every time the boys get near me, they look at me and say...
24:13Red Hot Mama!
24:15Red Hot Mama!
24:17Red Hot Mama!
24:17The other one we meet!
24:19Red Hot Mama!
24:21Sun Sharma!
24:22Yes, indeed!
24:23They say that I should be in the Follies!
24:28But Jamalus!
24:30I have a pair of boys, just like all Svengali's.
24:36I confess that you possess the sweetest charms in town.
24:41And unless I miss my guests, the boys all follow you around.
24:46I'll make a music master, drop his fears!
24:49I'll make a bald-handed man start the air in the middle!
24:52Red Hot Mama!
24:53Red Hot Mama!
24:54I have to tell my devil!
24:56Hey!
24:57Red Hot Mama!
24:58Red Hot Mama!
24:59You're the one we need!
25:02Red Hot Mama!
25:03Sun Sharma!
25:05Yes, indeed!
25:16Red Hot Mama!
25:22When she went to bed, did you notice?
25:24Of course I noticed, everyone noticed.
25:26The top of the stairs, instead of turning right...
25:29He turned left.
25:30What have we done?
25:32This could come back to haunt us.
25:35Why?
25:36It would look like we've encouraged the Queen's sister to betray her husband.
25:40She's not betraying Tony, she's with Tony.
25:44Can't you see?
25:46Slim, Welsh, reddish hair.
25:48The two men are virtually identical.
25:50Roddy's a carbon copy of Tony.
25:53Just younger.
25:56I hadn't thought of that.
26:18Lord Snowden, ma'am.
26:27Your Majesty.
26:28Dear Tony.
26:32So kind of you to come.
26:33I know how busy you are.
26:42Before we start, just look what I found in my studio the other day.
26:51How young we were.
26:53How pretty you were.
26:54Oh, stop it.
26:55Like Vivian Leigh.
26:58I've always loved this picture.
27:01Yes.
27:02Gosh, Philip.
27:04Not looking cross for once, miraculous.
27:07All yours, ma'am.
27:08For me?
27:09With my compliments.
27:10Oh.
27:11And now, to the main business.
27:18Voila.
27:21A mug.
27:24And?
27:30A teapot.
27:35And?
27:40Oh.
27:41A commemorative plate.
27:46And a tea towel, with the dates 1952 to 1977.
27:54The powers that be thought it might be nice if someone from inside the firm were to design some of
28:00the memorabilia.
28:01Oh, Tony, you are clever.
28:03Always happy to help my family.
28:05Are you?
28:07Let's talk about that for a minute.
28:09May I keep these as well?
28:11Yes. Yes, of course.
28:13Now, I don't want to pry or lecture anyone about what goes on in a marriage.
28:22In my experience, people find a way to do what they need to do to remain happy or sane.
28:27I often think turning a blind eye is the best approach.
28:31Things work themselves out in the end.
28:35But recently, Margaret has been so wretched.
28:40And so lost.
28:44And she's so in love with you.
28:46I wouldn't be a responsible elder sister or head of the family if I didn't say how happy it would
28:52make us all,
28:53but particularly Margaret, if you two were to patch things up again.
28:57Even if just for the children.
29:02I quite agree.
29:04And had been giving the matter serious thought.
29:07Had you really?
29:08Yes.
29:09But then I heard the latest developments.
29:15Who she's met.
29:17What she's doing.
29:19How she's...
29:22conducting herself.
29:26What latest developments?
29:52I'm here.
29:57I'm here.
30:08Welcome, your Royal Highness.
30:10No, I don't think you see.
30:12No, quite right.
30:12Hot and sweaty.
30:14Yes, isn't it unbearable.
30:15What are you talking about?
30:17Well, it's lovely.
30:18Oh, you're right.
30:19Heavenly.
30:19It's the aeroplane that was hot.
30:21Hello.
30:22Is this us?
30:22Yes, ma'am.
30:23Yes, I think straight to the house.
30:25I don't want any of that.
30:26Right.
30:28Hello, Anne.
30:29Hello.
30:30Where's the boy?
30:30Look.
30:31Do keep up now.
30:32Come on.
30:33I'm sorry, darling.
30:34Don't call me that in public.
30:35Ever.
30:36How about you didn't call me boy?
30:38You are one.
30:39You're a little boy.
30:40Steady.
30:40Who needs to be taught everything.
30:43Ma'am.
31:09There it is.
31:11Lesley.
31:14I was given it as a wedding present.
31:18The irony is, one person I never share it with is my husband.
31:25Drink, ma'am.
31:30Yes.
31:31One little idea.
31:32Shall we?
31:36Well, no one told me about her.
31:40What could I do?
31:43Well, no one told me about her.
31:48No, they own you.
31:50But it's too late to say I'm sorry.
31:53Not what I knew.
31:55Why should I care?
31:58Please don't bother trying to find her.
32:01She's not there.
32:04Well, let me tell you about the way she looked.
32:06The way she acted.
32:08The color of her hair.
32:10Her voice was soft and cool.
32:12Her eyes were clear and bright.
32:14But she's not there.
32:15But she's not there.
32:40But she's not there.
32:45But no one told me about her.
32:50What could I do?
32:52Hello!
32:54Hello!
32:56Hello!
32:56Hello!
32:58Hello!
32:58Hello!
32:59Hello!
32:59Look at her!
33:00Look at her!
33:01It's so bad for me!
33:02Look at her!
33:09Hey, hello!
33:09My knees are all the way she loved.
33:16And the way she acted.
33:18The color of her hair.
33:19My voice was soft and cool.
33:21Hi!
33:26Wow!
33:26A blossom and the trees are bare
33:30All day long I seem to walk on earth
33:34I wonder why
33:39No, I don't sing. I don't sing.
33:43Oh, turn it up. Turn it up. I love this song.
33:47On the way!
33:49Let's sing the tale first.
33:51Let's go!
33:53Let's go!
33:55Let's go!
33:58Let's go!
34:02Let's go!
34:04Oh, the wild cracker!
34:07No, you don't!
34:08Tell me the wildfire!
34:11I can't listen.
34:16Hey! Hey!
34:17We have one more chance.
34:21Happiness is a fickle creature.
34:24Constant companion to some, hides herself completely from others.
34:30She's being an elusive creature to me.
34:35But here she is, finally, sitting among us.
34:39And I say, welcome.
34:43I won't mention how late her arrival is.
34:48Who?
34:49Hmm?
34:52Happiness, dear.
34:55Oh.
34:56Never mind.
34:57Yes, sir.
34:58No problem.
34:59Right.
35:01Cream?
35:02I'm not burning, am I?
35:04Not yet.
35:06Better safe than sorry.
35:07No, no, no, no...
35:20There he is, dude.
35:24Come on.
35:29Just a minute.
35:31Come on.
35:33How are we?
35:34What we up on screen?
35:37How could she be so stupid?
35:41Who?
36:11Your Majesty.
36:16The floozy and the scrounger. Lady and the trailer.
36:19It's not entirely Margaret's fault. She had gone a long way to be private.
36:23Spending 12 hours on an aeroplane doesn't give you a license to behave like a whore.
36:27You must bring her back straight away.
36:29That won't be easy. She doesn't take well to my orders.
36:32Fine. Then she can take mine. See to it, please, Martin.
36:38Are you still here?
36:51We don't know all the facts yet.
36:53What is this if it's not a fact? That is a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact. And that's
36:57a fact.
37:34Even if there areもし himself, they have probably been so bad.
37:42you've seen the papers
37:44I have
37:47what's the matter
37:48thought you'd be happy
37:51why would I be happy
37:54because now we have what we've been waiting for
37:57Margaret in love with someone else
37:59legitimate grounds for separation
38:01in a way that will still protect your name
38:04your reputation
38:07our future
38:08and
38:10you expect me to jump up and down with Jai

38:59Let's go.
39:29Let's go.
39:59Let's go.
40:26Let's go.
40:47Let's go.
40:50Let's go.
40:50Get out.
40:51Don't you dare talk to him like that.
40:53I'll speak to him whichever way I like.
40:55In my house.
40:56My house.
40:57Our house.
40:58Ducky.
40:59No.
40:59Not ours anymore.
41:06Please leave.
41:08I won't leave.
41:10You don't want me to leave.
41:12I'm desperate for you to leave.
41:14Desperate.
41:15Like a patient.
41:17Desperate to cut out a cancer.
41:19Think very carefully about what you're saying.
41:22Every game has its limits.
41:24It's not a game anymore.
41:29He's a child.
41:31He has no idea how to make him happy.
41:34You made me happy.
41:35Couldn't make me any more wretched than you have.
41:38You were wretched when I found you.
41:42Your little love notes, you leave me everywhere.
41:45How do I loathe thee?
41:47Let me count the ways.
41:49You look like a Jewish manicurist.
41:51You look like a Maltese landlady.
41:53Little rich, I think, coming from a misshapen cripple.
41:55Oh, yes.
41:56Holy boy.
41:57Hoppity hop.
41:58Hoppity hop.
41:59Overlooked by his mother because he wasn't strong enough.
42:02Or, well, born enough.
42:04An embarrassment.
42:05Not able-bodied enough.
42:06And if we're talking about overlooked,
42:09you know what this is all about.
42:10Overlooked Margaret with no role, no purpose,
42:13no real friends.
42:14Of whom it must finally be asked.
42:16What is a princess for?
42:20You go after him and I'll divorce you.
42:22Oh, you wouldn't dare.
42:25You go after him and I'll bring you to your knees!
42:28Molly!
42:30Molly!
42:32Molly!
42:32Molly!
42:32Molly!
42:36Molly!
43:01It's age.
43:03It happens to us all.
43:04No, ma'am. It's not just age.
43:07It's been diagnosed. It has a name.
43:12Alzheimer's.
43:24I first noticed symptoms two years ago.
43:29I always speak in public without notes.
43:32I have something of a photographic memory.
43:35But then, one day, I dried.
43:40And in the months that followed,
43:43I noticed more forgetfulness.
43:48Agitation.
43:52Delusion.
43:55Paranoia.
43:56I shouldn't worry too much.
43:58Several of your predecessors had far more serious afflictions,
44:01and they continued to govern without the public being any the wiser.
44:06No, ma'am. It's a mental health issue now.
44:09I shall put myself in the hands of the doctors.
44:15Prime Minister, I am sorry.
44:17This will come as a terrible shock.
44:19Well, maybe.
44:21No shock lasts longer than 48 hours.
44:25There's too much appetite for the next shock.
44:30I'll miss our sessions terribly.
44:34I don't mind admitting I let out an unconstitutional cheer
44:37when you beat Mr. Heath this time.
44:40I always said deep down you're a lefty at heart.
44:44Nothing to do with the politics or just a better companion.
44:47Although I wouldn't have said that the first time we met.
44:49No.
44:51You thought I was going to rough you lot up.
44:54And look what a sentimental old royalist I turned out to be.
45:15Your Majesty.
45:31Prime Minister.
45:35If you saw fit to invite your Queen to supper at Downing Street before you left,
45:39she would be honoured.
45:43But that's an honour previously only given to Churchill.
45:48The Duke of Edinburgh and I would like that very much.
45:54So would Mrs. Wilson and I.
46:13Martin?
46:26The amount of nitrazepam the Princess took was quite critical, ma'am.
46:35Nitrazepam?
46:36A sedative.
46:39Used in short periods for the relief of anxiety and insomnia.
46:48Based on the numbers of empty packets we found.
46:54You would say more indicative of a cry for attention
46:58than a genuine suicide attempt.
47:02A cri de coeur rather than a coup de grace.
47:18Tell her, be a bit less honest than aword.
47:19To the complete a cry for sorrow.
47:22That was the first day she was thinking.
47:23The last day she was thinking and a diluted her voice.
47:24I was watching her, but it was a few times.
47:24The last day she was thinking about it and she was thinking about it.
47:24It doesn't have to be the same.
47:24But she did not exercise enough.
47:25That's why it was meant to be the same.
47:25But it's a bit more sense and it could have to be the same.
47:28The next day she was thinking and it's going after the death's death.
47:31So I thought it again was the same.
47:34Are they enough to die and still be the same.
47:35And she came back and as soon as soon as soon as soon as soon as she was.
47:45Hello, you.
47:47Hello, you.
48:07Am I going to get her ticking off?
48:09That hadn't been my intention.
48:11Perhaps I should.
48:14Why?
48:15Because for a while there, it was touch and go.
48:21So I hear.
48:25Did you mean it?
48:28I don't know.
48:31Possibly.
48:35How do you feel now?
48:38Tight.
48:43It's sore.
48:45There were tubes.
48:49A little bit foolish.
48:54Where's Roddy?
48:57Go on.
48:58Where?
48:59Run for the hills.
49:01I hear Moroccan Hills.
49:04And Tony?
49:06Back for the thing.
49:09Future Lady Snowden, I would wager.
49:16I'm not very good at it.
49:22What?
49:25The men.
49:27Seem to drive them all mad.
49:33Tony and I are going to separate.
49:36Yes, I think that's probably wise.
49:39Which I'm afraid to say will lead to divorce.
49:42Yes.
49:44The first royal divorce since Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves.
49:49I have a little bit of good news in that department.
49:52Which is?
49:53If we time it right, the announcement of your separation might get lost in the Prime Minister's resignation.
50:00I thought Ian just got re-elected.
50:02Or did I really miss something?
50:03Due to ill health.
50:05Due to ill health.
50:06Alzheimer's.
50:08Sorry.
50:14How many does that make it?
50:17Prime Minister's.
50:18Mm.
50:19Whoever replaces him will be my seventh.
50:23The rest of us drop like flies.
50:26But she goes on and on.
50:53For the record, I think there are many things you're good at.
50:56Name one that's actually meaningful.
50:59Being a sister.
51:01No need to humor me.
51:03I'm not.
51:05Of all the people everywhere, you are the closest and most important to me.
51:11And if by doing this, you wanted to let me imagine for one minute what life would be like without
51:17you,
51:19you succeeded.
51:24It would be unbearable.
51:32Then we must both carry on.
51:58Good morning.
52:01Good morning, Your Majesty.
52:21Good morning, Your Majesty.
52:33Well, usually when I drive into Broadcasting House just after five in the morning,
52:36the most I'm likely to see is a bridge delivery van or an office cleaner on the way to work.
52:41But this morning, despite the dark skies, there was a feeling of activity,
52:44a string of horses clashing through the streets and
52:47knots of people wearing red, white and blue gear drifting down towards the Trouder Square.
52:51But one of those have been up all night to make sure of getting a good view of the procession
52:55and the prices with them outside Buckingham Palace.
52:59I'm standing in front of Buckingham Palace and I expect the Queen's tea's made has just rung her back to
53:03consciousness.
53:05I expect she's lying there, just coming to and remembering that this is Jubilee Day.
53:09This is a day as gruelling as her coronation 25 years ago, certainly in ceremonial terms.
53:15But she was a bit of a thing in those days.
53:17I expect today she's wondering if the shoes she's going to wear are quite as comfortable as they might be.
53:22Now, the weather looks as though, as I say, as though it's certainly going to hold for the journey out.
53:29What's your view of the Jubilee?
53:35You must do it.
53:38You don't think it might all backfire on me?
53:43Ask yourself, in the time I've been on the throne, what have I actually achieved?
53:47You've been calm.
53:50Stable.
53:51Useless and unhelpful.
53:54This country was still great when I came to the throne, and now look.
53:57So much for the second Elizabethan age, which Winston talked about.
54:03All that's happened on my watch is the place has fallen apart.
54:06It's only fallen apart if we say it has.
54:10That's the thing about the monarchy.
54:14We paper over the cracks.
54:16And if what we do is loud and grand and confident enough,
54:23no one will notice that all around us it's fallen apart.
54:27That's the point of us.
54:31Not us.
54:33You.
54:36You.
54:37You cannot flinch.
54:40Because if you show a single crack,
54:44we'll see it isn't a crack,
54:46but a chasm.
54:48And we'll all fall in.
54:52So you must hold it all together.
54:58Must I do that alone?
55:01There is only one Queen.
55:09And now,
55:11the poet laureate,
55:12Sir John Badgerman.
55:13God save the Queen.
55:16In days of disillusion,
55:19however low we've been,
55:21to fire us and inspire us,
55:25God gave to us our Queen.
55:28She exceeded young and beautiful
55:31to a much-loved Father's throne,
55:34serene and kind and beautiful.
55:37She holds us as her own.
55:41And 25 years later,
55:43so sure her reign has been,
55:46that our great events are greater
55:49for the presence of our Queen.
55:54For our monarch and her people,
55:57united yet and free,
55:59let the bells from every steeple
56:02ring out loud the Jubilee.
56:08God bless you.
56:09God bless you.
56:10God bless you.
56:22God bless you.
56:33And hey,
56:34God bless you.
56:34God bless you.
56:35Spin your kiss.
56:35God bless you.
