Short filmTranscript
00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:14All right.
02:17Margaret Rose.
02:20Good.
02:21I think we're good.
03:07I like you.
03:13Your Majesty.
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you.
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements
03:25on what is essentially a private trip,
03:27and for flying this way commercially.
03:30Well, it's not so bad.
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us.
03:35What's the first stop? New York?
03:37Uh, San Francisco, then Los Angeles.
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona.
03:42How lovely.
03:44Then on to New York, where Tony is promoting his book.
03:48You've written a book?
03:49Uh, a book of my photographs.
03:50Oh, you are clever.
03:52You must make time to really relax, too.
03:55We will.
03:56Be good to one another.
03:59Kind to one another.
04:01Basically.
04:06Said she felt the need to say that.
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another.
04:11Kind to one another.
04:12Basically.
04:13I was a little clumsy.
04:17But she means well.
04:19Two of us are complicated.
04:24She and I are complicated.
04:27It's true.
04:30Elder sister, younger sister.
04:32Number one and number two.
04:34Who's number one?
04:36You.
04:37Of course.
04:39A natural number one, whose tragedy it is to have been born number two.
04:43Mm.
04:45That is my button.
04:48She knows it, too.
04:51Yes, I think she does.
04:54That's her button.
04:55Welcome aboard this BOAC flight to San Francisco.
05:00Please take your seats and relax.
05:02We're now ready for departure, and we'll be taxiing shortly.
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight.
05:25Bye.
05:27Bye.
05:57Bye.
05:58Bye.
06:25Bye.
06:50Good morning, Mr Ambassador.
06:53Economically, as you know, Marvin, the United Kingdom is right up against it.
06:57We're seeing a terrifying run on sterling, and our credit from the IMF is about to expire.
07:03Now, the Prime Minister has made several attempts to speak to the President about another bailout.
07:08Rescue package.
07:10But the President refuses to take his call.
07:13President Johnson is a busy man.
07:16Too busy to talk to his oldest ally.
07:19Historically, the holder of this office has the warmest relationship with Downing Street.
07:24Think of Churchill and Roosevelt, or Truman and Antley, McMillan and JFK.
07:29No need to keep mentioning Jack Kennedy like that.
07:33Keep mentioning?
07:34It's just provocative.
07:37Unhelpful.
07:38President Johnson is his own man.
07:41Of course.
07:43I mentioned it only in the context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty.
07:50The United Kingdom and the United States.
07:54Historically, it's like a marriage.
07:58Will you talk to him?
08:01No. Screw the Brits. I don't like them. I never liked them.
08:05They're not looking down at you through their noses.
08:06They're holding their hands out like beggars.
08:08And I don't give a crap about any special relationship.
08:11Harold Wilson wants my help.
08:12He should have thought about that when he refused to support me over Vietnam.
08:14You can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers.
08:24The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
08:26Your Majesty.
08:28Prime Minister.
08:41I'm sure that it did not escape your attention that President Johnson failed to attend Sue Winston's funeral.
08:47Yes, on account of a cold.
08:50Well, that was the explanation the White House gave, but it persuaded no one.
08:54Now, I fear that the President may have taken against me for what he sees as my failure to support
09:02him over Vietnam.
09:04And I wondered...
09:08In the past, the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat.
09:20And given the predicament the country finds itself in economically...
09:25If you'd like us to roll out the red carpet, make a bit of a fuss.
09:32Please.
09:34All right.
09:35I shall consult the three wise men.
09:37See what they have to say.
09:41Thank you, ma'am.
09:51What we have witnessed in Princess Margaret is a more vibrant, modern and engaging version of her older sister.
10:00Quite right.
10:03To those accustomed to the formality of traditional royal visits, meeting Princess Margaret has been like going from a black
10:09and white film to one in colour.
10:12What about a steak dinner?
10:14Like the one held for Woodrow Wilson in 1918.
10:17Or a weekend at Windsor Castle.
10:19The important thing here, I'm told, is that whatever we offer President Johnson, it must exceed whatever we gave the
10:25Kennedys.
10:26When you're smiling...
10:28Hey, we wanted to see the Queen!
10:31You're seeing something better than the Queen.
10:33What do you think is the main difference between Britain and America?
10:36Well, my sister isn't all the backwards here.
10:39What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:44Liberty.
10:44But when you're crying...
10:48You get all the way...
10:51So stop your silence...
10:54Be happy again...
10:57Keep on smiling...
10:59Cos when you're smiling...
11:02The whole world starts with you...
11:07You're smiling, darling.
11:09What news of Princess Margaret?
11:11After three days in San Francisco, Her Royal Highness has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
11:16Any disasters I should be aware of?
11:18No, on the contrary, the trip seems to have been a great success.
11:22Really?
11:23Yes, rave reviews, all the newspapers.
11:26With even a name having been coined for the multitude of fans and well-wishers who have followed her every
11:31step of the way.
11:33Which is?
11:34Margaret-ologists.
11:36Margaret-ologists?
11:38Yes, ma'am.
11:39Fans who have delighted in Her Royal Highness's intelligence and articulacy, her beauty and charm.
11:44With one newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, even going so far as to say...
11:48Yes, all right. Thank you, Martin.
11:49Yes, ma'am.
11:50I'm a queen, not a saint.
11:51That's it. Try not to smile.
12:10I gave it. Not once, not twice, but three times and you ignored it.
12:15What?
12:16A signal. Our signal that I wanted to leave.
12:20I didn't see it. You know, as well as I, that if you are the guest of honour, you cannot
12:25just leave.
12:28In the course of our marriage, I have lost count of the number of times you've walked out as guest
12:32of honour.
12:33Once or twice.
12:34All the bloody time.
12:36When it's dreary.
12:37When it suits you.
12:39Well, the people are ugly and dull.
12:43These people were musing and attractive.
12:48And it made me feel good.
12:51No, no, no, no. The alcohol made you feel good.
12:55And blunted your judgement to the sycophancy of the people surrounding you.
13:00Is that right?
13:01Yes, keys.
13:02Well, sadly, it's not blunted my judgement to your mean-spiritedness and jealousy and general pusenalaminity.
13:15Pusenalamin...
13:18Small mindedness.
13:21I don't recognise this.
13:23Hm. Come to think of it.
13:26I don't recognise you.
13:29Actually,
13:32nor did anyone else.
13:34I mean, if we're honest.
13:39Isn't that the real problem here?
13:41Hm?
13:44Oh, I'm sorry.
13:46And you are...
13:49Tony who?
13:50Oh, yeah, the husband guy.
13:54It's not easy, sometimes.
13:57What is not easy?
14:00Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess.
14:05Don't talk to me about being a second fiddle.
14:08I get so little I'm like...
14:12No, it's the price I pay for the sister I have.
14:16But if the opportunity should once arise for me to shine,
14:21I'd appreciate you putting aside the competitive little narcissist that rages within you.
14:29And letting me savour it.
14:36And letting me savour it.
14:40I promise...
14:43That once we get to New York.
14:47The spotlight will be entirely on you.
14:50And your book.
14:52I'll take a back seat and be the adoring and supportive number two you want me to be.
15:00And nothing will make me happier.
15:15Now, you can tell me, oh, you want 50,000.
15:18Hell, 100,000 more boots on the ground are gonna resolve this.
15:21But I put 100,000 more men in there.
15:23Who's to say that Ho Chi Minh isn't gonna put 100,000 more?
15:26A man can't fight if he can't see daylight at the end of the road.
15:31I want to see solutions, gentlemen. Solutions.
15:34Not more numbers.
15:37By God, I will not be the first American president to lose a goddamn war.
15:44That'll be all.
15:45Yes, sir.
15:58What is this?
16:00A peace offering from the Brits.
16:02Open to secure the bailout.
16:07Weekend shooting at Balmoral?
16:09Yes, sir.
16:11That's as good as it gets.
16:12Even Kennedy never got that.
16:15Really?
16:16He got a banquet.
16:18Naval Guard of Honor, but never a weekend shooting in Scotland.
16:22No one has gotten that.
16:27Hmm.
16:33Still...
16:35That's a long flight.
16:36Followed by a long drive.
16:40Stay in some creepy haunted castle.
16:43The weather's terrible.
16:47And it would involve making small talk to fancy people.
16:52Then when you go shooting, there's rules.
16:55Things you do and don't do.
16:58Which would involve researching.
17:00Learning.
17:02Cutting my nails.
17:04And I'd still get it all wrong.
17:07And then everybody would laugh at me and they'd say how I wasn't no Jack Kennedy who would know exactly
17:12which knife and fork to use and which bird to shoot.
17:16So my position has not changed.
17:19Hmm.
17:21It is still no thank you, Your Majesty.
17:25Tomorrow there's a reception given by the Council of Engineering Institutions at the Science Museum.
17:30Followed by an audience with His Excellency Gudmundur Gudmundsson, the new ambassador from the Republic of Iceland.
17:37Thank you, Michael.
17:38And where are we with President Johnson?
17:41Ah.
17:42We went back offering weekend shooting at Balmoral.
17:46Did we?
17:47Lucky LBJ.
17:48We don't get enough of those ourselves.
17:50And?
17:50No response, ma'am.
17:52What?
17:53Nothing.
17:53Complete silence.
17:55That's a first?
17:56Yes.
17:58Probably not what Downing Street was hoping for.
18:00Is everyone panicking?
18:01Slightly.
18:03What about Princess Margaret?
18:04I was safely arrived in Arizona, ma'am.
18:06Oh.
18:06Well, that's something.
18:07At the Douglas Family Ranch?
18:09Yes.
18:10I've never been.
18:11What do we know about it?
18:12They say it's quite something.
18:13A beautiful 19th century country house set under the Santa Rita Mountains in miles and miles of wide open desert.
19:01Tony.
19:02Tony.
19:03Brace yourselves.
19:03Brace yourselves.
19:03Oh no, start talking.
19:05Oh no!
19:05Come along, darling.
19:11Your royal heinous.
19:13Your royal heinous.
19:13Your royal heinous.
19:14No blink here.
19:14No kissing.
19:15Jones!
19:18Does this look travesty right here?
19:23I look hideous.
19:25Mmmm.
19:26Mmm.
19:29Ghastly.
19:30You look a bit tired.
19:33A bit coldy.
19:35It's only to be expected after your...
19:40heroics.
19:41You hated every minute, didn't you?
19:44Maybe.
19:46That's irrelevant.
19:48The newspapers didn't.
19:52Page after page about how extraordinary you are.
19:57What an asset to the crown. How underused you are.
20:00What a secret weapon. How deserving you are of the spotlight.
20:03Your elder sister eclipsed and outshone.
20:06And now you must sleep.
20:10What will you do?
20:12Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
20:16So rest.
20:17I will.
20:18And get well for New York.
20:35Mr. President, I just got off the phone with our ambassador in London.
20:38Just got off the phone with the prime minister.
20:40Just got off the phone with the queen.
20:42Don't tell me everybody's pissed.
20:44The general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister, that's one thing, but
20:50no one gets to insult the crown, sir.
20:52It's like, uh, treason or something.
20:55How have I insulted the crown?
20:57By not accepting the queen's invitation, sir.
20:59Well, I didn't refuse.
21:03Just have him reply.
21:06Well, now, don't you do this, Marvin.
21:09You're my chief of staff.
21:10You're supposed to have my back.
21:12Don't you get suckered into this.
21:13You know, they got this whole thing going on over there.
21:16Head of state, prime minister, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street is like a double act, like tag team wrestling.
21:22One of them gets in trouble, the other jumps in to bail them out.
21:26Wilson screws me over Vietnam, and she jumps in to make it all good with some bursts, you bullshit.
21:32We don't have that here.
21:35Oh, sir.
21:38Buck stops with me.
21:41Who the hell am I supposed to call if I want to issue an invitation to get me out of
21:45trouble?
21:45Well, you call me, sir, your oldest friend.
21:48I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble.
21:52All right. Come up with a plan.
21:54Well, sir, I just did.
21:57This is the plan, right here.
22:00Who in God's name is that?
22:05They came to land at Oakland Airport.
22:07And here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered them everywhere they went.
22:11The princess was radiant, obviously enjoying herself.
22:15It wasn't long before her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion.
22:20The American people and their press have warmed to the couple, enchanted by the natural display of charm and friendliness.
22:28Prime Minister for you.
22:29Ma'am.
22:31I said it was urgent.
22:36Prime Minister?
22:37Just to say, we've finally had a response from the Americans, ma'am.
22:43They've come back with an invitation of their own.
22:47To dinner at the White House.
22:50For me?
22:51For Princess Margaret.
22:54Oh, that's cunning.
22:56Yes.
22:57That way, President Johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer.
23:00No.
23:02It also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout.
23:06Indeed.
23:07But we think not all is lost.
23:10That Princess Margaret should accept the invitation, go to the White House,
23:14and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause.
23:21It would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy.
23:26For which you want to send Princess Margaret?
23:29Yes, well that had been my reaction.
23:32But her trip to America has been a terrific success.
23:36So I gather.
23:37On a British holocaust.
23:39So will you ask her.
23:44If those are my instructions.
23:48Please.
23:54Well, well.
23:55I suppose the situation is so dire, there's really nothing to lose.
24:00He doesn't know my sister.
24:01He's eager to meet the British players.
24:03In the United States, ma'am.
24:10Hello.
24:15The Royal Highness?
24:17Hello.
24:18Telephone for you?
24:19No.
24:20It's the Queen.
24:35Hello, you.
24:37Hello, you.
24:40Sorry to disturb.
24:41I know you're on holiday so you don't want to hear this.
24:44What?
24:45We've had an invitation from the White House for you to go to Washington
24:49and have dinner with the President and the First Lady.
24:52And we'd like you to attend.
24:54When?
24:55This Wednesday.
24:57Ah, can't.
24:59What?
25:00Why not?
25:02I'm going to be in New York.
25:04And Tony's book launch.
25:08Perhaps I should make it clear.
25:10There is rather a lot riding on it.
25:12And everyone is keen, very keen, for you to go.
25:16Perhaps I should make it clear that nothing is going to stop me
25:20from supporting my husband.
25:21Just like you asked me to.
25:23Margaret!
25:28...
25:31...
25:41...
25:42...
25:42...
25:43...
26:04Dear Margaret,
26:06As a wife, I understand your desire to support Tony.
26:09You know that it was my honest hope
26:11that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous, more encouraging to each other.
26:18But for now, such considerations must be put aside.
26:23I have asked you this once as a sister,
26:26and now I must command it as your queen.
26:31Your Royal Highness, sir, thank you so much for agreeing to this.
26:37The most recent list of people attending the dinner
26:40with some brief biographies of those expected to sit close to you.
26:43What I'm asking you to do
26:45amounts to much more than simply attending a dinner.
26:53Currently, there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity
26:58that require a concerted effort on our part.
27:02We must heal the divisions that are emerging
27:05between Britain and its American cousins.
27:08You've often lamented that you have nothing to do,
27:11but you are a wasted resource.
27:14Well, the task you are embarking on today
27:16could not be more crucial.
27:19Britain currently has a deficit of 800 million pounds.
27:24What we need is a bailout of at least 1,000 million.
27:32Only the Americans can give it to us.
27:38I know you like to do things your own way,
27:42but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity,
27:46and I would urge you for once
27:49to play things by the book.
27:54What happens if I fail?
27:56We don't get the bailout.
27:59Then we break our promises to the IMF,
28:03exhaust the credit facilities available to us,
28:06face a run on Sterling,
28:07and the government would be left with no option
28:10but to devalue the pound.
28:12And that's bad.
28:15Devaluation is worse than bad.
28:17It would relegate Sterling to the second division
28:19of the world's currencies
28:20and bring them to the third division
28:22of the world's economies.
28:24It would mean international humiliation,
28:27political ignominy, and financial ruin.
28:39You're a minus?

29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:35I...
29:36I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?
30:05I do know these days one's not allowed to think anything other
30:10than what a great statesman Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:15Of course you'll say nothing.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most
30:21the frustrations and resentments
30:23that can build up from a life as a number two.
30:28A support act.
30:31Even of someone you adore.
30:35You spent three years as Vice President.
30:39I've spent my whole life as Vice Queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a Vice Queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place to deal with the fallout?
30:51Oh, no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed.
30:56Thoroughly.
30:57Enthusiastically.
30:58Unreservedly.
30:59He said, um...
31:01If I remember rightly...
31:03Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother
31:06just to take the skin off her ass
31:08to make a drum
31:09to beat his own praises.
31:19Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them, I'm afraid to say,
31:37a little off-colour.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:46Well, the first one went a little...
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware.
32:00Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits
32:07she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president countered with
32:16there was a young man from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed with an enormously large...
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone thought that was long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:33Princess Margaret won the evening with this one.
32:37There was a young lady from Dallas
32:40who used a dynamite stick as a phallus.
32:44They found her...
32:48They found her...
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina in North Carolina...
32:55And her arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:08Then, apparently, there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be, I can be, greater, sooner, or later.
33:41I'm greater than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:50She finally snagged at home at four in the morning,
33:53newly anglophile President Johnson
33:55having agreed to the bailout.
33:57A special relationship, more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:03That's what I thought, you crook.
34:04And all because Margaret was all the things
34:07I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:10No, I...
34:11Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:18Oh, you're all those things, too.
34:21No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two, I would pick dependability
34:29every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice to be dazzling on occasion, too.
34:37You are dazzling.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:41Anything you can say, I can say.
34:44Faster?
34:45I can say anything faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:51Take it, take it, take it.
34:52Take it, take it.
34:53Take it.
35:15Prime Minister.
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness.
35:20Very well played.
35:22Thank you, sir.
35:23Shall we?
36:11Hail the conquering heroine.
36:13Ah, yes.
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now, any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of...
36:21Envy, spite?
36:22Good-natured teasing to keep one's feet on the ground.
36:25Everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally.
36:30Oh, better than that.
36:31He met me at the airport.
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs and your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking in view of how well it
36:57all went.
36:59About us doing it more often.
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties.
37:08But we didn't share duties.
37:09You just went to a dinner party.
37:12In your place.
37:14And represented crown and country with, I think we can agree, favorable results.
37:24Isn't it possible that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do.
37:30Far too much pressure.
37:32Far too much responsibility.
37:34And I, too little.
37:36Having no role.
37:38Having nothing to do.
37:40Is soul-destroying.
37:45All I'm asking is if you were prepared to share a little more.
37:52For Paisa's sakes.
38:03Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:12Don't tell me you softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else by not having a more meaningful role.
38:21Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability and character and intelligence and flair, she does not deserve to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider expanding the role?
38:36Sharing the job a bit more?
38:37There are two answers to that question.
38:41Neither makes for pretty listening.
38:46Yes, the system is unequal.
38:49Unjust and cruel.
38:51And primogeniture divides and destroys families.
38:54The system stinks.
38:55But in its cruelty and injustice, it reflects something else, which is harsh and brutal.
39:03Which no one is suggesting we rearrange.
39:06Life.
39:09We all desire equality.
39:11Here's the thing.
39:13We were not born equal.
39:18And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once I got drunk with that god-awful monster Tommy Lassels?
39:26Well, that night, he shared with me his theory about the House of Windsor.
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since.
39:36Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine a mythological creature.
39:44A rice-addler.
39:47A polycephalus.
39:48A two-headed eagle.
39:50For the purposes of this conversation, I want you to think of it as representing us.
39:55This family.
39:58Your family.
40:00And there have always been the dazzling Windsors and the dull ones.
40:04Your father.
40:06A saint.
40:07But dull.
40:09Sorry.
40:11Your grandfather, too.
40:13George V?
40:14Deadly dull.
40:16At the height of the Great War, when the Tsar and the Kaiser and the Emperor of Austria were dazzling
40:23the world, where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album.
40:27His wife.
40:28Queen Mary.
40:29Wonderful.
40:29Ditchwater.
40:30And so it goes through George V to Queen Victoria and back, an uninterrupted line of stolid, turgid dreariness.
40:40Culminating in me.
40:41Yes.
40:42Yes.
40:42But alongside that dull, dutiful, reliable, heroic strain, runs another.
40:52The dazzling, the brilliant, the individualistic, and the dangerous.
40:59And so, for every Victoria, you get an Edward VII.
41:03For every George V, you get a Prince Eddie.
41:07For every George VI, you get an Edward VIII.
41:17And she may have had a success in Washington, but let's not delude ourselves that serious diplomacy can be achieved
41:24through drinking and dancing.
41:25Let Margaret have the glory, but let's not rewrite the constitutional rulebook because she got lucky once.
41:33And where does that leave my relationship with her?
41:36Unchanged.
41:37You're the Queen.
41:39And she's your dangerous baby sister.
41:45She's outside.
41:46She knows we're talking about her.
41:48Then let's join her.
41:50That feverish mind of hers needs no encouragement.
41:57Don't let you have any more, don't let me know.
42:20I am so infront of her.
42:32What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the act of settlement of 1701,
42:40not the wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:52Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne.
42:56Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life
43:02and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the rulebook
43:07so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play.
43:14Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
43:43Margaret!
43:59It's a very simple truth to hold its mission of and purpose to the throne.
44:03It seems like the world needs to be destroyed since this time.
44:03It seems like a world where 70 more abiding the string of people should hold on nothing.
44:03And we're on the 60s...
44:05It's weather.
44:05Brad, you know
44:05I've still mentioned anborstress world...
44:13Tim Rose's Phillies
44:14My favorite boy in passenger stay
44:24I don't know.
44:50I don't know.
45:29I don't know.
45:51I don't know.
46:17I don't know.
46:23But when you're crying, you bring on the rain, so stop your sighing, be happy again.
46:34Keep on smiling, keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
47:07Keep on smiling, you bring on the rain, so stop your sighing, be happy again.
47:13You're so sorry.
47:15I don't know.
47:23I don't know.
47:27I don't know.
47:27I don't know.
47:28I don't know.
47:28I don't know.
47:29I don't know.
47:30I don't know.
47:31I don't know.
47:33I don't know.
47:37I don't know.
47:37I don't know.
47:38I don't know.
