00:02:23chemical biological and nuclear weapons have still not been unearthed
00:02:27many people who supported the war are now asking that's a complete disaster
00:02:33including the prime minister's claim that saddam's apparently non-existent weapons
00:02:37could be deployed within 45 minutes
00:02:53good morning gentlemen good morning good morning your majesty the purpose of this meeting is
00:03:00and i should say it's not because we have any reason to be fearful oh get on with it david

00:03:25for
00:03:25reasons of prudence and good order in which case why not start with the duke of edinburgh he's older than
00:03:30me and statistically men tend to die earlier well that's true and that's why we've been working
00:03:36on mine for years operation fourth bridge oh no don't say that why it's so sad oh no no it's

00:04:28embracing each of the armed services alongside representatives from the 15 other
00:04:34commonwealth realms the gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard

00:06:54What's going on?
00:06:56The Prime Minister's just coming out, sir.
00:07:12Do you remember when he first came to power?
00:07:14They took to the streets and cheered.
00:07:17Now they want to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:07:21Tony Blair has become Tony Blyer.
00:07:25One's reminded once again that the career of Prime Ministers is nasty, brutish and short.
00:07:31Except I gather he's no intention of stepping down.
00:07:33His ambition is to become the first Labour Prime Minister to win a third successive term.
00:07:38That's the thing.
00:07:40Once people get a taste of life at the top, they never want to leave.
00:07:43Is that right?
00:07:44They just want to keep on and on.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49Anyway, I'm sure this is not why you've come to see me today.
00:07:53No.
00:08:01I've come to make a request I wish I'd made 30 years ago.
00:08:07To ask your blessing to marry Camilla.
00:08:15Can't say this has come out of the blue, Mummy.
00:08:18She and I have been in love now for 30 years.
00:08:23And every day of those 30 years, she has been heroic.
00:08:27You don't think ending her relationship with you once you'd married Diana would have been heroic?
00:08:33She did.
00:08:34Camilla is blameless in that regard.
00:08:36She always wanted to keep her marriage.
00:08:38Then why didn't she?
00:08:39Because her husband left.
00:08:41And why did he do that?
00:08:43Because he'd had enough, as I understand it, of reading about her adultery with you in the newspapers.
00:08:47You and I both know Andrew is no angel.
00:08:50He was serially unfaithful himself.
00:08:52So, can we agree there's nothing heroic about any of this?
00:08:55For years and years, Camilla has suffered judgment and calumny and never, ever complained.
00:09:01Not once.
00:09:02That is heroic.
00:09:06Instead, she stayed silent and loyal to you and the Crown.
00:09:12But not a single thank you in return.
00:09:15A thank you?
00:09:16Yes, thank you.
00:09:17Not just for her discretion, but for loving and making happy the person who's next in line.
00:09:26That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:38What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:44He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50You always said, Mommy, that you couldn't do the job without Papa by your side.
00:09:57That he's your strength and stay.
00:10:02And Camilla is my strength.
00:10:04And my stay.
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her.
00:10:11I will reflect on it.
00:10:14Take advice.
00:10:17And give you an answer soon.
00:10:42I think it will probably be fine.
00:10:50You all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge.
00:10:55Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:10:57Oh, yes, a little heavy at the moment, ma'am, but it will shrink down nicely as you begin to
00:11:01express your preferences.
00:11:03My preference would be a quiet service in Scotland, out of sight and over in 20 minutes.
00:11:09Perfectly understandable.
00:11:10But this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest-serving monarch in history.
00:11:14People will want to celebrate your reign and mark the end of an era, not just here, but all around
00:11:19the world.
00:11:20So, I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies depending upon where the, forgive me, ma'am, the death actually
00:11:29occurs.
00:11:30If it's abroad, ma'am, or here in the United Kingdom.
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local.
00:11:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:11:39The first chapter is, if the event occurs on a foreign tour, please turn to page 10.
00:11:53Are you guys going to Harry Meade's birthday party?
00:11:56Definitely.
00:11:57When is it?
00:11:58Next week.
00:11:59Should be good.
00:12:00250 people going.
00:12:03Fancy dress.
00:12:04I hate fancy dress.
00:12:05You have to rent a costume, which invariably stinks of other people's BO.
00:12:09Fucking royal twat.
00:12:12Meet my brother.
00:12:13Life and soul.
00:12:15What's the theme?
00:12:17Colonials and natives.
00:12:18Then there's that.
00:12:21You think they could have picked a more offensive theme?
00:12:23Mate, you're such an undergraduate now.
00:12:25You'd have never said that before you went to uni.
00:12:27Now I am saying it.
00:12:28Cliche.
00:12:29That's me, Dad.
00:12:29I'm out.
00:12:30Fucking idiot.
00:12:31Come on, lad.
00:12:32You know, you can't fucking shoot me.
00:12:35Fuck you.
00:12:36Fuck the rest.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on, hold on.
00:12:39Hold on, hold on.
00:12:39He's going.
00:12:39Click his arse.
00:12:41Fucking ass.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses.
00:12:48I just had a call from the Queen's private secretary.
00:12:52Can you come down, please?
00:12:54It's never good when they come in packs.
00:12:59Yeah.
00:13:28Your Majesty.
00:13:29My Lord Bishops.
00:13:32I asked you all here today because the Prince of Wales has requested my permission to marry Mrs. Parker Bowles.
00:13:42And I think I'd like to grant it.
00:13:51And, of course, as head of the Church of England, that is your right.
00:13:57But it will not be straightforward.
00:14:00Or, one suspects, popular.
00:14:02Why?
00:14:03I was led to believe the General Synod had eased its stance on the marriage of divorcees.
00:14:09It has.
00:14:10But many people in this country still believe that the relationship between the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Parker Bowles
00:14:19was responsible for the breakdown of a royal marriage.
00:14:23The Church, I think, needs to be satisfied that permitting the new marriage would not, in effect, consecrate a past
00:14:33infidelity.
00:14:34For the Church of England to be seen to be blessing it, could risk a split in the Anglican Communion.
00:14:43One suggestion could be that, and I would be interested in hearing the Archbishop of Canterbury's view,
00:14:50that the Prince and Mrs. Parker Bowles marry in a civil ceremony and then have a church blessing afterwards.
00:14:57In a registry office?
00:15:00In the eyes of the Church, no marriage service is more legitimate than another.
00:15:05It's more a question of signals.
00:15:07Appearances.
00:15:09A condition of the blessing could be some form of atonement.
00:15:15Quite so.
00:15:16Some acknowledgement of wrongdoing on the couple's part.
00:15:22Man, as she was.
00:15:25The service might include a prayer of penitence, in which the couple join with the congregation in asking forgiveness for
00:15:32past wickedness.
00:15:39I've always taken comfort in the knowledge that God retaineth not his anger forever, because he delighteth in mercy.
00:15:49Whatever short-term risk the marriage may present to the integrity of the Church,
00:15:54one has to imagine it would do less damage than if I were to die.
00:15:59Well, it is going to happen one day, and my heir acceded to the throne while living in sin.
00:16:16Oi, oi.
00:16:24Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:27It was an incredible decision.
00:16:30Your Highnesses, Her Majesty, we'll see you now.
00:16:36Tracks.
00:16:37Come on, hurry.
00:16:39Hurry.
00:16:41Well...
00:16:50Granny.
00:16:52Thank you both for coming.
00:16:54Now, I need some air.
00:16:56Would you be very cross if I suggest we go for a walk?
00:17:11I'd like to discuss your dear papa.
00:17:14What's he done now?
00:17:15Nothing he's done.
00:17:18It's what he wants to do.
00:17:22How would you both feel about him getting married?
00:17:25I knew it.
00:17:28Why can't they just carry on as they are?
00:17:30Because Charles will be king one day.
00:17:32The last time we had an unmarried king on the throne, it did not end well.
00:17:36Yeah, but was he...
00:17:40Obviously, both of us prefer to think of him with mummy.
00:17:43And anything other than that feels...
00:17:46Wrong.
00:17:47So wrong.
00:17:49But I suppose this is the reality.
00:17:53And she does seem to make him happy.
00:17:57Does she?
00:17:59And having him happy and settled is good for us.
00:18:04And ultimately, good for...
00:18:06Good for?
00:18:07Well, as you say, he is going to be king.
00:18:10Isn't he, one day?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:14Plus, then he might finally shut up about it all.
00:18:20So...
00:18:22Is that a yes?
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:28I didn't want to give my blessing until you had given yours.
00:18:36Yes, good.
00:18:44Yes?
00:18:47Yes, of course.
00:18:48It's the Queen.
00:18:50You're wrong, Highness.
00:18:51My Highness.
00:18:52Yes, put her through, please.
00:19:02Mummy.
00:19:08I can't believe you caved like that.
00:19:10I didn't cave.
00:19:11I'm just being a realist.
00:19:12I'm changing your tune.
00:19:13I'm not saying what you feel.
00:19:14That's what being a realist...
00:19:15You're such a fucking company, man.
00:19:17I'm just trying to be an adult.
00:19:20I don't expect you to understand what that feels like.
00:19:24Congratulations.
00:19:29Thank you, Mummy.
00:21:03How was it with the boys today?
00:21:05Fine.
00:21:07That's a relief.
00:21:09They supported the idea of the marriage.
00:21:12Slightly through gritted teeth.
00:21:16Harry's more gritted than William's.
00:21:19I'm not surprised.
00:21:22I worry about Harry.
00:21:25We all do.
00:21:27Sometime in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted,
00:21:42all this talk of my funeral has stirred things up a bit.
00:21:47Anything you want to discuss?
00:21:58Well, in that case, good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:04Good night.
00:22:04Good night.
00:22:14Good night.
00:22:16Good night.
00:22:18Good night.
00:22:25I've heard it all right.
00:22:26Good night.
00:22:27Good night.
00:22:31Hi, buddy.
00:22:33Good night.
00:22:36Peter and Sue.
00:22:36Wait. Thank you.
00:23:06Your Majesty, you asked to see me.
00:23:09I did.
00:23:11I hope you know how much everyone appreciates your beautiful music every day.
00:23:16I don't mind telling you.
00:23:18There are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit...
00:23:22Then I hear you play and all that goes away.
00:23:25Thank you, ma'am.
00:23:27They've got me planning my funeral at the moment,
00:23:31just as a precaution,
00:23:32and I'm in the process of choosing the music
00:23:35and wondered if there was a tune for the pipes you thought might work.
00:23:42There are a number of laments written for fallen soldiers, ma'am.
00:23:49I will go home to contain. It springs to mind.
00:23:52Lord Lovett's Lament.
00:23:53But is there a particular one that you like?
00:23:56Me, ma'am?
00:23:58Yes, pipes. You.
00:24:05There is...
00:24:09There is one...
00:24:10that I particularly like.
00:24:15It's sleep, dearie sleep.
00:24:18Will you play it for me?
00:24:25What now?
00:24:26Why not?
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:29It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:24:31It's not a din to me.
00:24:34There is a tiny...
00:24:45There is a tiny...
00:25:03ANGELUS
00:26:59Isn't that the joke?
00:27:01How about that wedding dress for you?
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:05Don't pretend you haven't already thought about it.
00:27:09Thanks, Harry.
00:27:10Nice touch.
00:27:11Your brother.
00:27:13Where's God?
00:27:14Oh, you're gone.
00:27:18Hello.
00:27:21There's still my gantra.
00:27:25That's my grandmother.
00:27:26I like the way you move.
00:27:27No!
00:27:34Hello, darling.
00:27:36I'm waiting here.
00:27:38Hello.
00:27:39How you doing?
00:27:41How you doing?
00:27:41How you doing?
00:27:42Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:44This is incredible.
00:27:45Three or five, you know?
00:27:46Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:48What are you doing?
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:50What am I doing?
00:27:51What are you doing?
00:27:51I'm being fat.
00:27:52What are you doing?
00:27:54Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:54Ben, what are you doing?
00:27:57What are you doing?
00:27:58Guy.
00:27:59That's me.
00:28:00So you're going up into the stage.
00:28:02Excuse me.
00:28:12I want to be free.
00:28:17I want to be free.
00:28:21I want to break free from your lies.
00:28:24You're so satisfied.
00:28:26I want to break free.
00:29:45Oh, shit.
00:29:59Oh, Harry.
00:30:07Fuck!
00:30:09Fuck!
00:30:12Fuck!
00:30:15Fuck.
00:30:15Fuck.
00:30:17I was a troublemaker at school, repeatedly caned by my housemaster, six of the best.
00:30:25We all make mistakes in the flashes of youth.
00:30:28Rarely as gross a misjudgment as this.
00:30:31A swastika armband two weeks before Holocaust Memorial Day.
00:30:36There's a great deal of affection in the country for Harry.
00:30:40An apology followed by a period of contrition should pave the way for forgiveness.
00:30:48Is that the advice you'll be giving yourself over Iraq?
00:30:53I think we can agree things are not working out too well over there.
00:30:58My hope is that the democratic elections scheduled for the end of this month will form the beginnings of an
00:31:05exit strategy that should allow us to close this chapter and move on.
00:31:15Well, that's a subject that's been coming up a lot recently.
00:31:33Well, you've got to thread it through.
00:31:36No, thread.
00:31:39It's all right.
00:31:40I think I remember.
00:31:41I remember.
00:31:54That's it.
00:31:57No, why haven't it gone through?
00:31:59It's meant to go under here.
00:32:01It hasn't.
00:32:02I took that about.
00:32:04Stop that.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:10Oh.
00:32:11Bingo.
00:32:15Oh, good.
00:32:16Oh, good.
00:32:21Oh, good.
00:35:21Oh, there you are.
00:35:23Yes, here I still am.
00:35:26No breakfast.
00:35:28Wasn't hungry.
00:35:29Not like you.
00:35:49How was Harry?
00:35:50A bit subdued.
00:35:53His father's got him mucking out pigs as punishment.
00:35:57That feels a little Old Testament.
00:35:59I agree.
00:36:02Harry was foolish to go to that party dressed in that costume, but he was bloody unlucky that a fellow
00:36:09guest should go to the newspapers like that.
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:13So I phoned the costume rental shop, gave him a piece of my mind.
00:36:18Why?
00:36:19What will it take to get you to understand?
00:36:22Should I draw it in sodding crayon?
00:36:26The uniform was inaccurate.
00:36:29The German African Corps never wore swastikas.
00:36:35A fact I impressed upon the Santa's top brass, who happily agreed this latest episode should not prevent Harry entering
00:36:45officer training.
00:36:46Oh, well done.
00:36:47To ban him would be madness.
00:36:50And would only exacerbate the real problem.
00:36:53Which is?
00:36:54A lack of a sense of purpose due to a failure of responsible parenting.
00:37:02Yes.
00:37:06Do you want to discuss anything before I go?
00:37:09About what?
00:37:11Well, the funeral.
00:37:13But it might have stirred up for you.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:19Well, I'll be off.
00:37:22Duty calls.
00:37:25Ah.
00:37:35You coward.
00:37:37Why didn't you tell him?
00:37:41What you've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral.
00:37:45In fact, since the golden jubilee.
00:37:49How tired.
00:37:50No, not just tired.
00:37:52Exhausted you are by it all.
00:37:56Years.
00:38:01How ready for a rest.
00:38:05And at the same time, how ready he suddenly looks.
00:38:09Who?
00:38:11Charles.
00:38:14Oh.
00:38:15Him.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:28We even have precedent.
00:38:30Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in favor of her daughter.
00:38:35Charlotte of Luxembourg was also in her late 60s.
00:38:37That's the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
00:38:39Bicycle monarchy is not something at all.
00:38:41It's exactly the same thing.
00:38:42And in both cases, a great success.
00:38:49You've been on the throne for over half a century.
00:38:52That's longer than any other queen.
00:38:53Apart from Queen Victoria.
00:38:54How effective was she by the end?
00:38:57Rheumatic and blind.
00:38:58Weak and unwell.
00:38:59Hidden away on the Isle of Wight.
00:39:01You're almost 80 years old.
00:39:03So everyone keeps reminding me.
00:39:05Well, that's nearly 20 years past the retirement age for women.
00:39:08No need to go on.
00:39:09That's what I'm saying.
00:39:11No need to go on.
00:39:14Your first loyalty has always been to the crown.
00:39:17Sometimes at the expense of being a mother.
00:39:22Stepping down is the right thing to do.
00:39:26As queen and as a mother.
00:39:28Right.
00:39:40As queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen
00:39:49and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as queen and as

00:40:06everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding
00:40:109th of april at the guild hall in windsor
00:40:14we also felt given your role as head of the church of england and the church's position that
00:40:20marriage is a lifelong commitment that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony in person
00:40:27the idea being you can watch the coverage on television and and then join everyone for the
00:40:32service at st george's chapel and the reception at windsor castle
00:40:39has the prime minister been invited to the reception yes ma'am and the leader of the
00:40:45opposition yes and the archbishop of canterbury yes and there will be an opportunity for me to
00:40:52say a few words oh i'm sure everyone would would be delighted would you like me to draft something
00:40:59that won't be necessary i'll write something myself that's all thank you robin
00:41:20you were all for the uniform in the costume shop egging me on now suddenly you're mr morality
00:41:24oh okay right stabbing me in the back ladies and gentlemen of the jury how many faces does this
00:41:29man have you know i'm not sure i like you're turning into and i'm not sure i like you've been
00:41:32can you stop bickering please i beg you
00:41:36how was supper well i'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant
00:41:41boys were snapping at each other well that's just boys
00:41:45can i just make one request that you don't make my wedding day a misery
00:41:51i've waited too long for it yes but you didn't witness it it was horrid how they were to each
00:41:58other vicious and unkind they're young riding the waves of emotion which is understandable after
00:42:05what they've been through are they going to blame me do you think and hold me responsible for the way
00:42:12they've turned out well being their father you are responsible for making it better
00:42:20as soon as they're through tomorrow everything will be fine
00:42:25well i do hope so and how are you me i'm all right
00:42:32my sister persuaded me to get a fake tan so now i smell like the dog's blanket
00:42:41are you having any last minute doubts not me i'm in
00:42:50for all of it for whatever being married to you turns out to be
00:42:56well you might find out what that entails sooner than you imagine what's that supposed to mean
00:43:04i've been told that the queen intends to make a speech at the reception afterwards
00:43:08a speech which nobody has seen and which she's um written herself
00:43:17it feels like she's planning a big announcement
00:43:22my father met with anne to ask what she thought was in it but she's as baffled as the rest
00:43:27of us
00:43:28then anne rang andrew and he went riding with the queen but you know andrew drew a complete blank
00:43:37so if her intention was to set tongues wagging she certainly succeeded
00:43:43don't give it any further thought
00:43:46yes
00:43:48just think about the boys
00:43:51thank you darling
00:44:11yeah
00:44:16dinner was weird
00:44:21yeah
00:44:24when he overcompensates like that
00:44:27this could be an exciting new chapter for us all
00:44:32bath
00:44:33a few years ago
00:44:35it would have pissed me off
00:44:37now i just don't care
00:44:44i heard granny's going to make a speech at the wedding
00:44:47would you like to know what else i had
00:44:52that she's going to use the occasion to tell the family she's standing down
00:44:57after 50 years in the job
00:44:58she'd never do that
00:45:00and even if she did why on past big day
00:45:02because it's the wedding present he most wants
00:45:07he does want it doesn't he craves it
00:45:12for him and for camilla
00:45:18if she did you know what else it would mean
00:45:21it would be you next
00:45:24that would make you william the fifth
00:45:27better than second
00:45:28he was assassinated by his brother
00:45:31was he
00:45:32who would you believe was also called prince harry
00:45:35he had william killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to winchester to claim the throne for himself
00:45:44don't worry me i wouldn't do that to you
00:46:01really
00:46:06thank you
00:46:08thank you
00:46:09thank you
00:46:11thank you

00:47:10thank you
00:47:22thank you
00:47:23thank you
00:47:24thank you
00:47:41The cheers from the crowds lining the streets of Windsor can be heard from miles around
00:47:46as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles pass through them on the way to their civil
00:47:51marriage ceremony. Wonderful scenes here as the royal couple smiles and waves to the hundreds
00:47:57of well-wishers who have been waiting since dawn to get the best view of the happy couple.
00:48:02Then they've just arrived at the Guildhall, stepping out to the Queen's own Rolls-Royce Phantom
00:48:07Six, which was originally presented to Her Majesty in 1978.
00:48:11I don't know what you think you're doing. I'm doing the sensible thing, the responsible
00:48:17thing. If we're not careful, if I go on another twenty, twenty-five years, a tired, white-haired
00:48:25geriatric Queen will hand over to a tired, white-haired geriatric Prince of Wales.
00:48:30Those are the rules. But if he were then to go on another twenty, twenty-five years, it would
00:48:36mean that for the next half century, the British monarchy would be a very decrepit experience
00:48:41indeed. Is that the right thing to do to the institution? Charles is in the prime of his life
00:48:47now. Honestly, I've never heard so much nonsense. Have you forgotten the oath that you took?
00:48:53I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your
00:48:58service.
00:48:59You're fit enough to ride and drive, so you're fit enough to wear the crown.
00:49:03You remember what Queen Mary told you? Another geriatric.
00:49:12Monarchy is something you are, not what you do. The crown is a symbol of permanence, of stability,
00:49:18of continuity. If you step down, you will be symbolizing instability and impermanence.
00:49:25You'll also be indicating the luxury of choice, which is the one thing we cannot have if we claim the
00:49:31crown is also our birthright. So you would have a superannuated old lady running the show,
00:49:36while a fit, energetic Prince of Wales watches on, straining at the leash.
00:49:41But I don't see you as decrepit. Since the Jubilee, since Mummy's death, I see you as liberated.
00:49:50Confident. You say that Charles is in his prime. Well, I see you in yours.
00:49:58And admit it. You sometimes think there's a difference between you and the rest of the family.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:11It comes naturally to you.
00:50:15They all seem to make such a mess of it.
00:50:17I didn't. I didn't say that.
00:50:22No, but you've thought it. Privately.
00:50:27And with good reason.
00:50:31This system is a dreadful thing to inflict upon people.
00:50:35It's not natural. It's not fair. It's not kind.
00:50:42But you seem to thrive in it.
00:50:46And more importantly, it seems to thrive under you.
00:50:52So shouldn't you stay for every single day that you can?
00:51:00But what about the life I put aside?
00:51:06The woman I put aside when I became queen.
00:51:16What sort of question is that?
00:51:19For years now, there has been just one Elizabeth.
00:51:24Queen Elizabeth.
00:51:30If you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor,
00:51:33you wouldn't find her.
00:51:37She's gone.
00:51:40Long gone.
00:51:44You buried her years ago.
00:52:03And here they are, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales,
00:52:06and Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cornwall,
00:52:08facing the public for the first time as man and one.
00:52:13No fairytale kiss from the happy couple for the onlookers.
00:52:16Instead, smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Reggie?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:31The son.
00:52:33The speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:42Are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure.
00:52:49Come on.
00:53:13Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:53:18maker of all things,
00:53:20judge of all men,
00:53:22we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,
00:53:28which we from time to time most grievously have committed
00:53:32by thought, word, and deed against thy divine majesty,
00:53:37provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.
00:53:41We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.
00:53:59Father, forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please
00:54:06thee in newness of life, in the honour and glory of thy name.
00:54:12Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:54:19Amen.
00:54:53Ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:44Today has been a memorable day with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7 to 1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14
00:56:04lengths.
00:56:05Roy Leclerclerk finished 2nd, simply gifted 3rd.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chaplain at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years, it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21To be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for years and
00:57:28years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour,
00:58:14both as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:43Charles and Camilla!
00:58:45Charles and Camilla!
00:58:52Charles and Camilla!
00:58:55Get you!
00:58:56You're not getting better than I!
00:58:58Girls!
00:58:59Oi!
00:59:01This way!
00:59:08Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:11Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14Are you sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Nothing.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to.
00:59:43Go bad.
00:59:45I was going to say need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah.
00:59:53Photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:05Your royal highnesses.
01:00:06Your royal highnesses.
01:00:08Your future majesty.
01:00:13Your royal highnesses.
01:00:14Thank you very much.
01:00:16Ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:17Tootie.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them.
01:00:23Keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:40Harry.
01:00:42Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you your majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake.
01:00:47Get out of the way.
01:00:48This way please everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:00:59God's sake.
01:01:01Take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:03All right.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14For what e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way please.
01:01:30This way everyone please.
01:01:35Well that was a surprise.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:33Night on the town?
01:02:34Joyriding?
01:02:35Ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as queen for as long as you possibly can for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11But I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember?
01:03:12I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:29The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:32This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:41We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is, that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep dearly sleep.
01:04:38Oh.
01:04:39You looked?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:43A piper's lament.
01:04:46Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:53And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58You looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:03Well.
01:05:09I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:19What?
01:05:36I came to you with my friend.
01:05:36Oh, this is my friend.
01:05:37Yes, my friend.
01:05:37Oh.
01:05:37Oh, Lord.
01:05:41Oh, my God.
01:05:41Oh, my God.
01:05:43Oh.
