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
01:43Yeah, he's back in here
01:46Uh!
01:48Uh!
01:48Let's go.
02:20Let's go.
02:50Let's go.
02:50You've never told me about the wallpaper.
02:52The rogues' gallery.
02:54Isn't it fun?
02:56I did it to remind Princess Margaret that her family has as many skeletons in the cupboard
03:01as anyone else's.
03:03House of Windsor.
03:05House of Horrors, my leg.
03:07Maybe she saw 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 could not be better encapsulated by the two houses, the two dwellings, in which she
03:32and I are most comfortable.
03:35Hers is some insect-infested gin palace given to her by fawning sycophants.
03:43And this is mine.
03:49Oh, you too.
03:51I know.
03:53And poor you to get caught up in it.
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.
04:07She might if she falls in love with someone else.
04:12What makes you think that'll happen?
04:15Me, you did.
04:18Didn't you?
04:24You're right.
04:28I did.
04:30I did.
05:00I did.
05:23I broke off of a girl.
05:33To be continued...
05:55With MPs from smaller parties holding the bounty power,
05:59both Nova and the Tories look unable 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.
06:17But I can never remember, so I call her The Thing.
06:21Lucy Lindsay Hall.
06:22Mm-hmm.
06:23The 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, it'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
07:01that having not found the contentment they desired within matrimony,
07:06have 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.
07:36But contentment 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.
08:21Right now, the United Kingdom is the equivalent of a patient dying on the operating table,
08:26and the surgeons.
08:27No, the butchers.
08:28No, sorry, the murderers responsible for causing that death are 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.
08:54I'm taking for Ted Heath to form an alliance with...
08:59Eddie?
09:03Mr. Heath came to tell me that he was unable to form a co-relation with the Ulster Unionists,
09:07all the liberals,
09:08which left him with no alternative but to resign.
09:11At which point,
09:12I don't mind admitting,
09:13I let out an unconstitutional cheer.
09:15Huzzah!
09:16Privately, I hope.
09:17Well, it's not his politics I object to,
09:19so much as his company.
09:20And now,
09:21Mr. Wilson,
09:22who I must say looks very tired,
09:24not at all well,
09:25is back again as Prime Minister of a minority government.
09:28And the best we can hope for
09:29is that he can survive until the next election in the auction.
09:47I have asked you all here,
09:50my family,
09:52on the occasion of my birthday.
09:55Happy birthday, Margot.
09:57I have noticed that my dear husband is not at my side on this joyous occasion.
10:02It is because he's now betraying me,
10:04not just in private,
10:06but openly in public too.
10:08And I don't think we should take this lying down.
10:11Oui.
10:11Yes, oui, Mummy.
10:13If Tony insults me by implication,
10:15he'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
10:22whose side you're on
10:24and
10:25impose sanctions.
10:27What?
10:27What kind of sanctions?
10:29No more invitations
10:30to royal events,
10:32no more royal photographs,
10:33no more access to crown property.
10:36It's in where it hurts.
10:38Punish him.
10:40Draw blood.
10:40Where is he now?
10:41He left the country this morning
10:44to make one of his films.
10:46Oh, Ghana?
10:47Or 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.
10:57It had compassion.
11:00It had kindness.
11:02In fact, I think that's the thing
11:03I most like about Tony.
11:04And his wit.
11:05Yes.
11:06And the fact that he's generous enough
11:07to flirt with his mother-in-law.
11:10He's going to throw up.
11:12He cares.
11:13All right, Mummy.
11:14He has a heart.
11:15Not that his wife or children have noticed.
11:17Does his charity work for the disabled?
11:19And the way he was at Aberfan.
11:21Yes.
11:22He's the mother-in-law.
11:23Yes.
11:23He's the mother-in-law.
11:24Yes.
11:25Yes.
11:26Enough!
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,
11:52instead of supporting me and condemning him,
11:57you just sit here praising him to the sky.
12:04My family, my own flesh and blood, my birthday.
12:15Perhaps we'll just stick to the back teeth of you
12:17and have sympathy for him.
12:19Philip.
12:19Well, am I wrong?
12:23Hands 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 when we eat them.
12:37I hate them.
12:38I hate them, I hate them, I hate them.
12:40Why don't you come up here, ma'am?
12:43Come to Glen.
12:45We've invited a few guests for the weekend.
12:49Come here.
12:50You might even enjoy it.
13:20What do you want me to do?
18:33It'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.
18:50It was essential.
18:52I mean...
18:53I mean, everyone else coming along too.
18:56They're not coming with us.
18:58I wouldn't let them.
19:00No.
19:00They're going for lunch while we go shopping.
19:04Yeah.
19:05So, apart from owning a wayfully inadequate wardrobe, what is it that you do?
19:12I'm a research assistant.
19:13I'm a research assistant at the College of Arms, which involves genealogical research and boning
19:20up on heraldry.
19:21Oh.
19:21I also have a mobile disco company called Vibrations.
19:26And I clean the floors in a gallery on the Fulham Road at night.
19:29But all of it.
19:30But all of this is just to fund my real passion.
19:32Have we got 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.
19:42Hmm.
19:43How nice you've not noticed.
19:46So nice when a man is unaware of his best features.
19:51It's so sad when a lady hides hers.
19:55Did you mean ladies?
19:59No.
20:01What then?
20:03Your smile.
20:09I forgot now.
20:23Where are we?
20:24Peebles, 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.
20:39Would you?
20:51Thank God.
20:55We've stumbled upon an experiment in breeding.
21:02Your royal highness.
21:04Gentleman'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 bit where you told me your passion in life?
21:28No.
21:30Then what is it?
21:31Gardening.
21:33Gardening.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Ah.
21:38These, please.
21:40No.
21:42These.
21:42I'm paying.
21:44I choose.
21:45Try them all.
22:07You know.
22:09What a garden.
22:10It means doing.
22:12Do you?
22:13Do you?
22:13I imagine you must have an army of gardens.
22:15Hmm.
22:15Don't believe everything you hear.
22:18No, 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.
22:32Mmm.
22:33My husband hates it.
22:35Since I hate my husband.
22:37What he thinks is irrelevant.
22:38You know.
22:39You know.
22:40In the Caribbean.
22:41I have one of my favourite trees.
22:43The silk cotton tree.
22:46The challenge for any gardener is to judge the right amount of pruning.
22:50Is that so?
22:51Well, you need very nimble fingers.
23:04And 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, a wonderful girl, and sweetest one in town.
23:55You've been sat for miles around.
23:58But not one like me, kind of all.
24:01You've got a smile, a wonderful smile, and a certain little way.
24:05And every time the boys get near me, they look at me and say, Red Hot Mama, Red Hot Mama,
24:17you're the one we meet, Red Hot Mama, Sun Sharma, yes indeed, they say that I should be in the
24:27fallies, but tomorrow's, I have a pair of boys, just like old Sven Gully.
24:35I confess that you possess the sweetest charms in town, and unless I miss my guests, the boys all follow
24:45you around, make a music master drop his fears, or make a bald-handed man start the air in the
24:51middle, Red Hot Mama, Red Hot Mama, I have to tell my devil, hey, Red Hot Mama, Red Hot Mama,
25:00you're the one we meet, Red Hot Mama, Sun Sharma, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:05yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
25:05Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:12yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:12yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:17yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:23yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
25:23yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
25:34Why?
25:35It 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? Slim, Welsh, reddish hair. The two men are virtually identical.
25:50Roddy's a carbon copy of Tony. Just younger.
25:55I 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.
27:03Philip.
27:04Not looking cross for once.
27:05Miraculous.
27:07All yours, ma'am.
27:08For me?
27:09With my compliments.
27:10Oh.
27:10Hello.
27:11And now, to the main business.
27:19Voila.
27:21A mug.
27:24And?
27:30A teapot.
27:32Yes.
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.
28:02Always happy to help my family.
28:05Are you?
28:05Do you?
28:07Let's talk about that for a minute.
28:09May I keep these as well?
28:11Yes.
28:11Yes, of course.
28:13Now, I don't want to pry or lecture anyone about what goes on in a marriage.
28:21in 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
28:32things work themselves out in the end
28:35but recently margaret has been so wretched and so lost
28:44and she's so in love with you i wouldn't be a responsible elder sister or head of the family
28:49if i didn't say how happy it would make us all but particularly margaret
28:54if you two were to patch things up again even if just for the children
29:01i quite agree and had been giving the matter serious thought had you really yes but then

37:23Hey
37:42You've seen the papers?
37:44I have.
37:47What's the matter?
37:48I thought 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.
38:00Legitimate grounds for separation in 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?
38:15She's my wife.
38:18Mother of my children.
38:30Is there anything else?
38:49Let's go.
38:50I can't believe I'm derp.
38:55I can't believe I'm here.
38:56I can't believe I'm here.
38:56It's me.
38:57Thank you, carry it.
38:59Why am I leaving you, through the night?
39:00And I'll stop moving.
39:04Oh, my God.
39:46Oh, my God.
40:01Oh, my God.
40:30Used to be your home.
40:32It's still my home.
40:35What is he doing in it?
40:37Hello, sir.
40:42I would ask where you got the nerve to come here if I thought you had nerve.
40:46But looking at you, I can tell you've no nerve at all.
40:49You're just stupid.
40:50Come on, get out.
40:51Don't you dare talk to him like that.
40:53I'll speak to him whichever way I like in my house.
40:56My house.
40:57Our house, ducky.
40:59No, not 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 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's 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.
41:44You 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.
41:53A little rich, I think, coming from a misshapen cripple.
41:55Oh, yes.
41:56Holy boy.
41:57Hoppity hop, hoppity 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.
42:06If we're talking about overlooked,
42:09you know what this is all about.
42:10Overlooked Margaret with no role, no purpose, no real friends.
42:14Of whom it must have 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.
42:28Mommy!
42:30Mommy!
42:32Mommy!
42:33Mommy!
42:35Mommy!
42:36Mommy!
42:38Mommy!
43:01it's age it happens to us all no ma'am it's not just age
43:07it's been diagnosed it has a name alzheimer's
43:24i first noticed symptoms two years ago i always speak in public without notes
43:32i something of a photographic memory but then one day i dried and in the months that followed
43:42i noticed more forgetfulness
43:48agitation
43:52delusion
43:55paranoia
43:56i shouldn't worry too much several 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 i shall put myself in the hands of the doctors
44:15oh prime minister i am sorry this will come as a terrible shock
44:19well maybe no shock lasts longer than 48 hours
44:25there's too much appetite for the next shock
44:31i'll miss our sessions terribly
44:34i don't mind admitting i let out an unconstitutional cheer when 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 first time you met
44:50no
44:51you thought i was gonna 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
45:40she would be honored
45:43but that's an honor previously only given to churchill
45:48the duke of edinburgh and i would like that very much
45:54so would mrs wilson and i
45:56come on
46:13martin
46:14martin
46:26the amount of nitrazapam the princess took was quite critical ma'am
46:35nitrazapam
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 than a genuine suicide attempt
47:02a crie de coeur rather than a coup de grasse
47:45Hello you. Hello you.
48:07Am I going to get her ticking off? That hadn't been my intention. Perhaps I should.
48:14Why? Because for a while there it was touch and go.
48:21So I hear. Did you mean it?
48:28I don't know. Possibly.
48:35How do you feel now?
48:38Tight.
48:43A bit sore. There were tubes. A little bit foolish.
48:54Where's Roddy?
48:57Gone.
48:58Where?
48:59Run for the hills. I hear Moroccan hills.
49:04And Tony?
49:06Back for the thing. Future Lady Snowden, I would wager.
49:16I'm not very good at it.
49:22What?
49:25The men seem to drive them all mad.
49:33Tony and I are going to separate.
49:36Yes, I think that's probably wise.
49:38Which 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.
49:59I thought Ian just got re-elected. Or did I really miss something?
50:03Due 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.
50:25But 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 humour 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.
51:59Good 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, the most I'm likely to see
52:38is a bread 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 lots of people wearing red, white and blue gear drifting down
52:50towards 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.
52:58I'm standing in front of Buckingham Palace and I expect the Queen's Teasemate has just rung her back to consciousness.
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, 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, stable and useless 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.
54:17And 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.
54:37You cannot flinch.
54:40Because if you show a single crack, we'll see it isn't a crack, but 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, the poet laureate, Sir John Benjamin.
55:13God save the Queen.
55:17In days of disillusion, however low we've been, to fire us and inspire us, God gave to us our Queen.
55:27She exceeded young and beautiful to a much loved Father's throne.
55:34Serene and kind and beautiful, she holds us as her own.
55:40And 25 years later, so sure her reign has been, that our great events are greater for the presence of
55:51our Queen.
55:54For our monarch and her people, united yet and free, let the bells from every steeple ring out loud the
56:04Jubilee.
56:05eu terefining
56:35for him
