00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:14Oh, what's that?

35:38in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho,
35:48of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:51Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:55The British press has caught on, with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59not since the first rumours of a romance
36:02between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson
36:06have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:12Go on.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial on its front page reminds its readers
36:18that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the world
36:21because it is a family.
36:24Time magazine has a headline, Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:27It goes on to say,
36:29Not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace
36:33unless have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily
36:36towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:00The Devil's Advocate might argue,
37:03and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:07that the Duke's early return,
37:09obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers
37:15and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:22And we don't want that.
37:25No.
37:33So what, then?
37:43What?
37:49Yes?
37:52The Admiral would like a woe, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56Tell him he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact,
37:59he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:30Come on.
38:39Admiral.
38:41Could you come in?
38:43Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch
38:47regarding your reunion photo call
38:49with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon
39:00a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06... are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07You've been quite specific
39:08for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:21Thank you, sir.
39:42Thank you, sir.
39:44For myante Jeffs, I have a new friend
39:50Can you hear a new friend?
39:51Take away to your family.
40:12What do you know?
40:13Here's a culturalściate.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deference.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat, sir.
41:40We'll talk later.
41:44Shall we?
41:47Shall we?
42:14Power up!
42:15How do you think you are going down for your country?
42:18And despair the exciting parts of the world that are delivered to 12 rumors of a risk.
42:33Power up!
42:41Power up!
42:44Power up!
42:46Power up!
42:49Fire!
42:53Unprecedented scenes here as photographers from all over the world.
42:57The Queen and the Jew of Edinburgh,
42:58might have been the world's eyes on board the great of the consularies.
43:02Now the eyes of the world turn towards the royal yacht,
43:05on which they have sought shelter.
43:09No, Fleur. No, I see.
43:20That was the palace press secretary.
43:25In his view, the steps that we've taken...
43:27The share we've put on.
43:31The steps that we've taken haven't quite done the trick.
43:37The rumours still haven't gone away.
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this.
43:58No.
44:15So I thought we might take this opportunity,
44:20without children, without distraction,
44:25to lay our cards on the table.
44:29And talk frankly, for once.
44:32About what needs to change,
44:34to make this marriage work.
44:37All right.
44:38Who goes first?
44:40Stupid question.
44:41I've learned one thing by now, it's that I go second.
44:45If I am to go first,
44:47that's where I'd start.
44:51You're complaining.
44:53My complaining?
44:54It's incessant.
44:55Whining and whinging like a child.
44:57Are you surprised?
44:59The way those god-awful moustaches
45:00that run the palace continue to infantilise me.
45:03Perhaps if you weren't behaving like an infant.
45:04Giving me lists, sending me instructions.
45:06Do this, don't do that.
45:07Wear this, don't wear that.
45:08Say this, don't say that.
45:09Can you imagine anything more humiliating?
45:11Yes.
45:12As a matter of fact, I can.
45:16I've learned more about humiliation
45:18in the past few weeks
45:19than I hoped I would in a lifetime.
45:28I've never felt more alone
45:30than I have in the past five months.
45:33And why do you think that was?
45:36Because of your behavior.
45:38Because you sent me away.
45:40Yes, and why do you think that was?
45:41I don't know.
45:42You tell me.
45:43Because you're lost.
45:45You're lost in your role
45:46and you're lost in yourself.
45:49Christ.
45:51Look.
45:54I realize
45:56that this marriage has turned out
45:58to be something quite different
45:59to what we both imagined.
46:00Understatement.
46:01And that we both find ourselves in a...
46:04a...
46:05prison.
46:09in a situation
46:11that is unique.
46:15Our marriage is different
46:16to any other in the country
46:17because
46:18the exit route
46:19which is open to everyone else...
46:21A divorce?
46:22Yes.
46:23A divorce.
46:26It's not an option for us.
46:31Ever.
46:44No.
46:56This restlessness of yours
46:57it has to be a thing of the past.
47:03It's what I need
47:05and it's what our family needs.
47:10The monarchy's too fragile.
47:11You keep telling me yourself
47:13one more scandal,
47:15one more national embarrassment
47:16and it would all be over.
47:25So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in.
47:30Not out.
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking
47:48what it will take.
48:02All right.
48:05To make it work.
48:08To make it bearable.
48:11I'll need the respect and acknowledgement
48:13of the dreaded moustaches.
48:15Please stop calling them that.
48:17I'll stop calling them that
48:18when they don't all have one.
48:20An end
48:21to their snobbery and prejudice.
48:22No more being sniffed at
48:23for being a foreigner
48:24with a background.
48:25Nobody understands.
48:26Will you earn their respect
48:27with your behaviour?
48:28No.
48:29No.
48:30I will earn their respect
48:31with the only thing
48:32those creatures understand.
48:34A gesture,
48:35a statement,
48:36something irrefutable
48:36that shuts them up
48:37and commands their respect.
48:39Right now
48:39I am currently outranked
48:41by my eight-year-old son.
48:42Yes, of course.
48:43He's the heir to the throne.
48:54I am his father,
48:55Elizabeth.
49:05Her Majesty the Queen
49:06has been pleased
49:08by letters patented
49:10under the great seal
49:11of the realm
49:12bearing the date
49:14the 22nd of February,
49:161957,
49:18to give and to grant
49:20unto His Royal Highness
49:22the Duke of Edinburgh
49:23the style
49:25and titular dignity
49:27of a prince
49:29of the United Kingdom
49:31of Great Britain
49:31and more than other.
49:36The Duke of Edinburgh
49:38shall henceforth be known
49:40as His Royal Highness
49:42the Prince Philip,
49:45Duke of Edinburgh.
50:12The Duke of Edinburgh
50:16ione descent
50:24of the älter
50:24the king
50:43of the
52:38Michael.
52:40Do you have a moment?
52:42Of course.
53:27I'm sorry it's a bit gloomy.
53:29A bit.
53:31I don't live much good around the house without Eileen.
53:34You could have at least put the fire on.
53:36Oi.
53:37I've provided whiskey.
53:39Alright, I've burnt some sausages.
53:41Who do you think you are, royalty?
53:46Here you are.
53:58There are wives and sweethearts.
54:00May they never meet.
54:02Huh.
54:04What will you do now?
54:06Go back to the Navy?
54:08Yeah.
54:09Going back home.
54:11The Navy is home.
54:13I'm either home.
54:14Australia.
54:16Oh.
54:19Can I come?
54:21I thought everything was all sorted in your world.
54:24As sorted as it can be.
54:25You sell yourself.
54:37She wants more children?
54:40Ouch.
54:41I told her the last thing the world needs is more raw mouths to feed, she said.
54:46You should think of it as a second act.
54:48Of what?
54:49A Greek tragedy?
54:50Of her life as a mother.
54:54That makes sense from her perspective.
54:58Charles isn't a child to her, is he?
55:00He's also the crown.
55:02A living embodiment of who will replace her.
55:06Supersede her.
55:09Loving a child who through no fault of his own represents your own death can't be easy.
55:13No.
55:15Because she is a little cold with him.
55:19She tries her best.
55:22Might be nice like a couple of kids today.
55:24Just kids.
55:25Not mortal threats.
55:27Who she can actually love.
55:35It's the airport driver.
55:42What would I do without you?
55:44And what is at the end of a telephone?
55:46That's it then.
55:48End of an era.
55:55Thank you for that era.
55:58No.
56:00No.
56:05Sir.
56:07Philip.
56:10Sir.
56:11No.
56:39Did you hear a dog?
56:40Seeing you.
56:40I know I know you are so proud of this.
