00:27You
00:42Well, I've always been a very outgoing person got my wine circle a book club
00:50Church
00:53I'd always ask him to come, but he never want to I'd say to her. I don't know these people
00:57I have a busy job. I'm tired in the evenings. It can be tired every night
01:07Everyone would say where's Anthony they'd assume something was wrong in the marriage and soon enough there was
01:15We had moved out into separate bedrooms and started eating separately. Yeah, we done
01:22Become very different people
01:30I
01:30Couple number one case number three zero nine of ninety six Carter and Carter
01:40Before long the love are gone from my side. It's a shame really because
01:49Still love her
01:53No

02:03I'm sorry the petitioner maintains that her marriage to the respondent has irretrievably broken down
02:13Does
02:13Does any part your person wish to show cause against decrees being pronounced or to be heard as to the
02:19question of costs?
02:20No, sir
02:21No
02:22Very well
02:23I pronounce decrees and make orders in accordance with the respective district judges certificates

02:58f
03:22dearest Charles dearest down I am writing to let you know that every
03:28one is now of one mind the determination of your marriage is not only inevitable but preferable
03:40when you made your vows to each other on your wedding day it was an occasion that warmed
03:46millions of hearts around the world 14 years later those vows lie shattered all around us
03:58to approve a divorce let alone request it goes against every one of my convictions as
04:06a wife mother sovereign and head of the Church of England but the present situation has become
04:16intolerable and is causing great pain and anguish to the whole family in particular to your sons
04:24William and Harry my fervent wish is that by reaching an agreement swiftly you will restore a dignity but in
04:37recent years has so regrettably been lost with love from mama
04:52you
06:23Like who?
06:30What?
06:33Who?
06:44Valued members of staff leaving me.
06:49My press secretary, private secretary.
06:56And the man I hoped might love me.
07:01The heart surgeon, Dr. Kahn?
07:04Mm-hmm.
07:11Suddenly gone silent.
07:23And then the letter from the Queen.
07:25It was so final.
07:28It was so matter-of-fact.
07:32The epitaph to our marriage written up in a few lines.
07:40It's like that moment.
07:43When the coffin's brought into a funeral.
07:46And you realise that it's all real.
08:14And you realise that it's all real.
08:15No, no, no, no.
08:17I'm sorry.
08:19No, no.
08:21No, no.
08:39We're coming.
08:40She came to see me today and informed me of Diana's headline de Marx.
08:46Welcome to Hydro.
08:47Thank you very much.
08:48She wants to keep her residence at Kensington Palace,
08:51as well as her office in St. James'.
08:52She wants her office budget to be separate from the financial settlement,
08:57for which she is seeking a one-off payment of some 35 million pounds.
09:02God, that's punchy.
09:04Outrageous and totally unrealistic is what it is.
09:06Hang on.
09:11That's going in the kitchen garden, not there.
09:15She knows perfectly well that I can't take that kind of money from the Duchy of Cornwall.
09:20And then she's threatened, if I contest the figure,
09:22that she's going to withdraw her consent to the divorce,
09:26which means another two years before we can get the marriage legally dissolved.
09:32Frankly, it speaks of desperation that she should sink this loan.
09:35Well, she probably thought after the Panorama interview
09:37that she'd be left holding all the cards.
09:39Instead, it's all just blown up in her face.
09:42Yes.
09:44Anyway, how are things with you?
09:47Those ghastly people gone from the end of your drive.
09:50Oh, sadly not.
09:59They seem to set up home there.
10:02I have to creep around like a criminal under house arrest.
10:05Mrs. Campbell has to deliver all my food to me,
10:07and I can't even take the dogs for a walk.
10:11I'm literally under siege.
10:13Literally.
10:15It's an outrage that you're made to suffer like this.
10:18I had a word with a member of my legal team.
10:21She came up with a name of someone she'd been impressed by
10:24at the Press Complaints Commission.
10:26A public relations expert who could protect you,
10:28sort of fight your corner in terms of privacy and public image.
10:34Would you meet with him if she arranged it?
10:36With a spin doctor?
10:45It's now clear the Princess of Wales has engaged Antony Julius at Mishcondorea.
10:52The Prince of Wales has engaged Fiona Shackleton at Farrah & Co.
10:57Neither is known, nor I suspect, was hired
11:00for their ability to give ground and make peace.
11:03And I worry that with feelings on both sides
11:07still running high after the panorama program,
11:10it might prove hard to keep things amicable.
11:14Yes.
11:16What we need is some kind of mediator.
11:21Someone who might be trusted by both sides.
11:25A privy councillor, perhaps.
11:28The Lord Chancellor comes to mind?
11:31Or Baroness Chalker?
11:33Douglas Hurd, of course, recently retired.
11:35He could be excellent.
11:35What about you?
11:38Me?
11:39You've done such good work in Northern Ireland.
11:42You are the rarest of things.
11:44Someone that is easy to like and trust.
11:48I know, as Prime Minister, you are the busiest man in England,
11:52but might you consider it to act on our behalf
11:56as an intermediary, an intercessor,
12:02an umpire?
12:06I was lost for words.
12:08A boy from Brixton who couldn't get a job as a bus conductor
12:11being asked to mediate in a royal divorce
12:15by the Queen herself.
12:18I was tickled by her use of the word umpire.
12:21Why not two?
12:21You know, I've always fancied myself in the role.
12:28Players everywhere, getting hot under the collar,
12:31appealing loudly all around you,
12:33and me, the calm, quiet, reasonable man.
12:37I'm heading back to Huntington.
12:39See you at the weekend?
12:41I'll try my best.
12:43Your children will want to see you.
12:46We all want to see you.
12:48It depends how much work I have.
12:54Yes.
12:56Of course.
12:59I thought there was a worthy objective.
13:02Meanwhile, the British Gas Hierarch
13:03is admitting its big shakeout
13:05that's seen 11,000
13:06to be redundant since last year.
13:08Couple number 12.
13:10Case number 502 of 96.
13:14Lawson and Lawson.
13:16Um, the worst bit is him getting home
13:20just as it's getting light.
13:22I do shift work.
13:24Long distance lorry drain.
13:27He sleeps all day and works all night.
13:29I'm just trying to do my job.
13:31Provide for my family.
13:33That's his catchphrase.
13:35What's the point in having a family
13:37if you never see them?
13:38And that's hers.
13:42I have begged him
13:43to take on less shifts.
13:45Three a week instead of five
13:47and he promises he'll talk to his boss
13:48but he never does.
13:49We need the money.
13:55In my childhood,
13:58family was at the heart
14:00of everything we did.
14:01Sorry.
14:08My dad was always there
14:10making everyone laugh.
14:13always going on
14:14about your perfect father.
14:17In my family,
14:19sometimes we had to choose
14:20between putting money
14:22in the gas meter
14:23and buying food.
14:27You've no idea
14:28what it feels like
14:29to have nothing.
14:30The biggest birthday present
14:32you could give your children
14:33would be time with you.
14:36Time with their dad.
14:38Sorry.
14:47Recently,
14:52I told my dad
14:54how hard it's been
14:57and he said
14:58to come home
15:01to a proper family.
15:04So we're going to move home.
15:09The girls can have a grandfather
15:10if not a father.
15:16Very well.
15:17I pronounce decrees
15:18and make orders
15:19in accordance
15:19with the respective
15:20district judges' certificates.
15:24Next, please.
15:28I'll get in.
15:34Am I terribly late?
15:36Not at all.
15:37Come on in.
15:38Pop your coat there.
15:40Is he already here?
15:41Yes.
15:42It's all fine.
15:43He's just waiting
15:43for you through here.
15:45Okay?
15:47Mark Bolland.
15:48Camilla Parker-Boss.
15:49Hello.
15:50I'm not quite sure
15:50what I was expecting
15:51a spin doctor to look like.
15:54Older, perhaps.
15:55Don't let his youth
15:56put you off.
15:57This one's a killer.
15:59So are we over here?
16:00Yeah.
16:00Do you just want to sit down?
16:01I'll go over there.
16:02Mark.
16:05Would you like some tea?
16:06Yes, please.
16:09Would you take milk?
16:10No, straight up.
16:11Thanks.
16:12Mark?
16:12Uh, yes, please.
16:15Have some milk.
16:19Well, may I start
16:21by saying
16:21how much sympathy
16:22I've felt for you
16:23for as long as I can remember, really?
16:25Oh, don't worry about me.
16:26I'm fine.
16:27Well, no, I disagree.
16:27I think the press
16:28and by implication
16:30the country
16:30has been monstrous.
16:33Well, one doesn't want
16:34to be all
16:36poor me about it
16:37but people have not been kind.
16:39I think they forget
16:41loving Prince of Wales
16:42has cost me everything.
16:47So what are we going
16:47to do about it?
16:49As I see it,
16:50I have a clear choice.
16:51Either I
16:52abandon my relationship
16:53with Charles
16:54and start my life again
16:56out of the limelight
16:56or I put my foot down
16:57and...
16:58Oh, no.
16:58What?
16:59They're clamping your car.
17:01No, it's not my car.
17:03Belongs to the Prince of Wales.
17:04It's one of the estate cars.
17:06Let me deal with this.
17:08I'm on it.
17:11Hello?
17:12Excuse me.
17:13Oh, how are you?
17:14You're very strict around here, don't you?
17:15I've got no idea
17:16that Hillary will sort of match.
17:18She's a force of nature.
17:20Oh, here's the one in uniform.
17:22Anyway, you were saying
17:23either you abandon
17:24your relationship
17:25with the Prince of Wales
17:26and you start your life
17:27again out of the limelight
17:29or...
17:29Or I put my foot
17:31to the floor
17:32and go for it.
17:34For what?
17:35Isn't it obvious?
17:38I don't want to spell it out.
17:40I think it's right
17:40that you spell it out.
17:45Go for official acceptance,
17:47legitimacy.
17:49As his wife?
17:50Yes.
17:51And therefore,
17:53ultimately...
17:55Well,
17:57whatever I would be
17:58if I were his wife.
18:00I believe there is a name for it.
18:01I can't say that word.
18:03What word?
18:05The Q word.
18:07Why?
18:08Because it's unsayable.
18:10Because
18:11it's treasonous
18:12to even contemplate it.
18:13That's what we're talking about,
18:14isn't it?
18:16Standing here
18:16in this terraced house
18:18in the middle of Islington
18:19watching someone
18:20clamp your boyfriend's car,
18:21you being queen.
18:23Look,
18:23I never wanted any of that.
18:28But
18:30what is my alternative
18:31after all this time?
18:33If I let this...
18:36this situation,
18:37this predicament I'm in
18:39diminish me,
18:40destroy me...
18:41No, I agree.
18:41You need
18:42to go for it.
18:43And you know,
18:44the thing is,
18:45I think if we were to marry,
18:46I could actually be some help.
18:48I know how to make
18:49the Prince of Wales happy,
18:50which he deserves,
18:51and do a better job,
18:52which the country deserves.
18:55I cannot watch
18:56the
18:58buggers muddle
18:58these advisors
18:59he's hired to help him
19:00make of it most of the time.
19:01Here, here.
19:03Particularly around divorce.
19:05The biggest single
19:06overnight improvement
19:07the Prince of Wales
19:08could make
19:08to his public image
19:09would be to resolve
19:10the divorce
19:11as swiftly
19:12and as amicably
19:13as possible.
19:13I agree.
19:13I mean,
19:14the entire country
19:14is sick of the War of the Wales.
19:15Sick to the back teeth?
19:18Oh, Diana
19:19would never be clumped,
19:20would she?
19:22One bat of the eyelids,
19:24one flash of the smile,
19:25and they will all
19:27just melt away.
19:29Why not show your face?
19:30It might make a difference.
19:33My leathery old skin,
19:34unplacked eyebrows,
19:35and dreadful dandruff.
19:38I don't suppose
19:39you read that piece.
19:40I did.
19:41I'm sorry.
19:42And I will take care
19:43of all that,
19:43I promise.
19:46Should we talk again
19:47in the coming days?
19:48Yes.
19:49All right.
19:50Great.
19:51I suppose I better move
19:51that bloody car.
19:52Yeah.
19:57Well, very nice meeting you.
19:58Lovely meeting you.
20:02Look, here she comes.
20:03I told you
20:04she wouldn't be long.
20:05Hello, chaps.
20:06I'm terribly sorry
20:07about this.
20:08I wonder if I drive
20:09the car away now,
20:11could you see
20:11your way to possibly
20:12letting me out?
20:13That would be fine,
20:14thank you.
20:14You're very kind.
20:16I'm so sorry.
20:17We can draw a line
20:18under the whole thing.
20:22I liked him.
20:23I think you will too.
20:25Who?
20:26The spin doctor.
20:28I think you should meet him.
20:30What for?
20:32For a spin check-up
20:34with his little stethoscope.
20:37Oh, God,
20:38you make me laugh.
20:42More than laugh.
20:43The two cornerstones
20:44of any successful relationship
20:48does your partner
20:48make you laugh.
20:50And do they make you...
20:53What?
20:54I don't know who's listening.
20:57Oh, God, that's true.
21:00Don't want to make
21:01that mistake again.
21:03No.
21:06No, we do not.
21:12Night.
21:16Night.
21:23I also played
21:24quite a few test matches
21:26against the West Indians
21:27who were by far and away
21:28the best side in the world
21:29and for the majority of the time
21:31we only get one bowl of them
21:33and they bowl us out twice.
21:35I became very much
21:36a defensive bowler
21:37in the late...
21:38Look, I know you've been asked
21:39to help to resolve the divorce
21:41in a civilized manner,
21:42but how can anyone
21:43expect my side
21:44to behave civilly
21:45when her side
21:46has already made
21:46such an open
21:47declaration of war?
21:50Perhaps the princess,
21:52in seeking such a large
21:53initial sum,
21:54is simply trying to ensure
21:56her future independence.
21:58rather than allowing
21:59a situation to develop
22:00in which she is beholden
22:01to you for a longer
22:02period of time.
22:04In some ways,
22:05her attempt to avoid
22:07a financial settlement
22:08with no fixed term
22:09could be seen as a way
22:11of liberating you both.
22:12I'm afraid that speaks
22:14to a generosity of spirit
22:15that you possess,
22:16not Diana.
22:18An opening demand
22:20of this magnitude
22:21is clearly designed
22:22to ruin me.
22:23It is entirely in keeping
22:25with the princess's desire
22:26to destroy me at every turn.
22:32I'm simply encouraging you
22:34to be more flexible
22:34in your thinking
22:35toward the princess
22:36and what her motivations
22:38might be.
22:39When she is flexible,
22:40I shall be flexible.
22:41Don't talk to me
22:42about flexibility.
22:43He's the most inflexible
22:44man I know.
22:47Well, after a lengthy
22:50and I think productive
22:52discussion,
22:53I can confirm
22:54that His Royal Highness
22:55is now prepared
22:56to discuss
22:57a sizable payment
22:58with just one stipulation,
23:01that you refrain forever
23:03from speaking in public
23:04about the marriage
23:05or the monarchy
23:06in any way
23:07that could be seen
23:08as damaging.
23:16If he's going to
23:17stuff my mouth
23:18with gold
23:19and hope I gag,
23:20that sum
23:21had better have
23:21eight figures
23:22and start with a three.
23:28In any negotiation,
23:29it's worth remembering
23:30there are often
23:31two languages
23:32being spoken.
23:34The language
23:35of the demands
23:36being made
23:36and what's actually
23:37being said underneath.
23:40I prefer to try
23:41and ignore the former
23:42and speak the latter.
23:45The princess team
23:46is saying
23:48we want you
23:49to be happy.
23:50We want you
23:50to be secure.
23:52We just want
23:53to keep things
23:53quiet and private
23:58and dignified.
24:25I've been chasing you
24:27since Junction 14.
24:28Mrs. Parker Bowles,
24:29good to see you.
24:30Oh, Camilla, please.
24:34Look what I found
24:35in a lay-by.
24:40Your Royal Highness,
24:42everywhere I go
24:43a deafening chorus
24:44telling me to engage
24:45you immediately
24:46and what an enormous
24:47difference you could make
24:48to both our lives.
24:49Mrs. Parker Bowles
24:50couldn't have been
24:51more effusive
24:52than this morning
24:53John Wakeham
24:54telephoned me
24:54and told me
24:55how indispensable
24:56you've been
24:56at the Press Complaints Commission.
24:57That's very kind.
24:58I don't have
24:59any special powers.
25:00I really don't.
25:00I just, you know,
25:01read the newspapers,
25:02watch TV
25:03like everyone else.
25:06But I do now
25:08sense a tipping point
25:10where the Princess
25:12of Wales'
25:12perceived disloyalty
25:14with regard
25:15to the panorama interview
25:16might actually
25:17help the two of you.
25:19How?
25:21If you appear
25:22to be the complete opposite.
25:24The reasonable party.
25:27Stable,
25:28settled,
25:29mature.
25:31But first, sir,
25:32you must resolve
25:33this divorce.
25:35You cannot retain
25:36the sympathy
25:36and respect
25:37of the nation
25:37until that's done.
25:39Yeah, yeah.
25:39Talk to your lawyers.
25:41Instruct them
25:42to reach
25:42a generous agreement.
25:44Take the high ground,
25:46get it done,
25:47and then we can focus
25:48on the two of you.
25:50And start to bring
25:51Mrs. Parker Bowles
25:52out into the open.
26:00We met when she came
26:01to work as a hygienist
26:02in my dental practice.
26:07I'd never had much
26:08stability
26:09in my life.
26:11So when Mark
26:13expressed interest,
26:15I was flattered.
26:18We started
26:19seeing each other.
26:20I'd always wanted kids.
26:22I just
26:23hadn't found
26:23the right woman yet.
26:25When he got on one knee,
26:28I imagined
26:28telling my mum
26:29who was always on at me
26:31about my failed relationships.
26:33Who is it today?
26:34She'd always say.
26:35Should I bother
26:36learning his name?
26:37And I thought,
26:39this will show her.
26:41On the honeymoon,
26:42I suggested
26:42we start trying.
26:43We'd never talked
26:44about kids before.
26:44She didn't want to know.
26:48I was only 24.
26:50I said,
26:51give it time.
26:52She started going out.
26:53The first once
26:53or twice a week.
26:55I was okay with that.
26:56Really?
26:56I don't think so.
26:57Then more and more.
26:58He would stay up
27:00waiting for me.
27:01Like you were
27:02avoiding me.
27:03Like a parent.
27:05I started getting stressed.
27:06Like a policeman.
27:07Like listening in
27:08on my calls,
27:09reading my post.
27:11All I wanted
27:12was to start a family.
27:15Couple number 23,
27:17case number 1044 of 96,
27:21Turner and Turner.
27:29I just couldn't cope.
27:32With his control,
27:34it just felt suffocating.
27:44Do you ever feel
27:45that some people
27:45just aren't cut out
27:46for marriage?
27:49You certainly aren't.
27:56does any party or person
27:59wish to show cause
28:00against the decrees
28:01being pronounced
28:03or to be heard
28:05as to the question
28:06of costs?
28:07No,
28:07very well.
28:09I pronounce decrees
28:09and make orders
28:11in accordance
28:11with the respective
28:12district judges'
28:14certificates.
28:16next, please.
28:32Prime Minister,
28:33Your Majesty.
28:35Your Majesty.
28:38I detect a sunniness
28:39of disposition today.
28:41I'm happy to say
28:42there has been headway
28:43in the negotiations
28:44between the Prince
28:45and Princess of Wales.
28:46Oh.
28:47Well done.
28:50How on earth
28:51did you manage that?
28:53I wish I could
28:54take the credit.
28:55The breakthrough
28:56was instigated
28:57by the Prince of Wales
28:58who seems to have
29:00discovered a new urgency
29:01in bringing the matter
29:02to a close.
29:03He's offered
29:04a lump sum
29:04of some 17 million pounds
29:06plus an additional
29:07annual stipend
29:08of some 400,000 pounds
29:10from which the Princess
29:11will be able to fund
29:12her own office
29:13and travel arrangements.
29:15So,
29:16what are the next steps?
29:18A joint statement
29:19from the Wales' legal teams
29:20as well as one
29:21from Buckingham Palace.
29:23A decree nysi
29:24will have to be filed
29:25and the final hearing
29:27will take place
29:28in a regular court.
29:30The same procedure
29:32as thousands of divorces
29:34before it
29:34and after it.
29:42How sad.
29:46The biggest,
29:47most celebrated
29:48wedding in memory.
29:53Then this.
30:04Once we're happy
30:06with the draft,
30:07we'll send it on
30:08to the Princess
30:09to look over too.
30:10We felt it should be
30:11as brief as possible.
30:13It simply confirms
30:14the joint custody arrangement
30:15and nods to the Princess
30:17of Wales' future role
30:19as a valid
30:20but separate issue.
30:29There we are, sir.
30:32the same, but I think
30:34we need to ensure
30:35that things are equal
30:38if we had a birth here.
30:46If you could sign here.
30:48come to the inside,
31:18we had a building
31:18Oh, my God.
31:54Mummy.
31:56So, I gather it's done.
32:00Yes.
32:02I hope you're, if not happy, then relieved.
32:09I'm not sure what I feel.
32:13I'm suddenly not relieved.
32:18I've made the necessary arrangements.
32:21The funds will be drawn from the privy purse to settle Diana's payment.
32:29It's good for the boys that the hostilities are over.
32:33Yes.
32:40And it can't have been easy for Diana, either.
32:51No.
32:52No.
32:53No.
32:54I'm going to show you a little
34:48Are those pictures different?
34:50Lots of things here are different.
34:54Why are you here?
34:59Come to take away more furniture?
35:02Inform me of some nasty last-minute change to the settlement.
35:08Honestly, I'm not quite sure why I'm here.
35:13All I know is I got in the car this morning and it just sort of drove itself here.
35:25I'd have known I would have put on a revenge dress.
35:29Haven't you been wearing one of those every day since our separation?
35:38It certainly seemed like it, reading the newspapers.
35:45What it's worth, I think you look even more beautiful like that.
35:49A mess.
35:52Natural.
35:54Stop it.
35:57And you still blush, like the very first time.
36:02Only with you, infuriatingly.
36:07Any time you say anything remotely nice.
36:12I probably didn't do that enough, did I?
36:17Say nice things.
36:21No.
36:30Well, divorce clearly suits you.
36:33Suits you, more like.
36:35Finally got everything you ever wanted.
36:40No man whose marriage has failed will ever have everything he wants.
36:48It'll forever be like a...
36:51vase with a great crack in it.
36:54Please.
37:01It's none of my business, but, um...
37:05I heard you might have found someone.
37:12I think that's all going away, sadly.
37:16Scared him off, poor thing.
37:22I'm sorry.
37:30How are those nuts?
37:31Like cardboard.
37:32They've been there for months.
37:37Are you hungry?
37:39Little.
37:41I could see if there's anything in the kitchen.
37:44All right.
37:46Do you even remember where it is?
37:48The kitchen?
37:50What are you talking about?
37:51I did live here happily for years.
37:55It's this way.
37:57It's this way.
37:58Is it?
37:59And you were never happy here.
38:01I was happy here for five years.
38:03Never.
38:04How long would you say?
38:07A year tops.
38:09A year tops.
38:10We're a divorce now, so who cares?
38:16Right.
38:17I've got eggs.
38:18Mushrooms.
38:20Started eating onions now that you've left.
38:23Ham.
38:25I could make an omelette.
38:27Great.
38:30Dear.
38:32It's impossible.
38:35Darren usually leaves me notes.
38:38Sticky notes with instructions.
38:40Oh, I see.
38:41Never mind.
38:42The menu's changed.
38:45I'm having scrambled eggs.
38:48Gosh.
38:48Is that enough?
38:49It's perfect.
38:56Why doesn't one just eat scrambled eggs all the time?
39:01Why do we never eat in the kitchen before?
39:05Such fun.
39:09There's so much we could have done differently.
39:11Second time around.
39:15All right.
39:18Now that we're here.
39:20A review of the marriage.
39:24An audit.
39:25No judgments, no arguments.
39:27Just lay it out on the table.
39:33An autopsy.
39:35Don't say that.
39:37No.
39:38Marriage is dead.
39:40Both signed the death certificate.
39:42It is an autopsy.
39:46You have to be seen.
39:47We never did this before.
39:48Because you never showed interest in spending any time alone with me.
39:52You always made sure there were other people.
39:54Because you were so withdrawn.
39:56You were so shy.
39:58I thought company might help.
40:00Yes, but it was always company for you.
40:03It was never company for me.
40:08And I could have been brought out of my shell.
40:11All I needed was the confidence from being loved by you.
40:16All right, all right, my fault.
40:21But you didn't make it easy either.
40:27No.
40:28I...
40:29I was difficult.
40:33I was just hurt.
40:37And I wanted attention.
40:38Well, you've certainly got that.
40:40And I'm sorry that so much of it must have felt like an attack on you.
40:50I'm sorry, too.
40:52For all of it.
40:57There was so much pressure on us both.
41:00We were so young.
41:02I was young.
41:03You've never been young.
41:04Not even when you were young.
41:10I'm sorry that came out meaner than I intended.
41:13Maybe we shouldn't do this.
41:15It's upsetting.
41:21You do know there was always love there.
41:28Yes.
41:32And respect.
41:34In a sense, somehow, we were a good match.
41:37Perfect match.
41:38That was the thing.
41:40The whole world thought we were the perfect match.
41:42Which is not the perfect love.
41:43Because you already had that with someone else.
41:48Can I ask a favor?
41:52Can we use her name today?
41:54Today.
42:05Camilla.
42:19I never stood a chance.
42:24Neither did Camilla.
42:31All anybody wanted was the fairytale of us.
42:36For a while it was a fairytale, wasn't it?
42:39How could we let everybody down like that?
42:42Hacking chunks out of each other in public.
42:44Turning on each other in the most awful way.
42:48Some of the things you said in that interview.
42:50About me being unfit to be king.
42:54Knowing the impact that would have on me.
42:56I only meant that being king would stop you from doing other things.
43:00Things that might actually make you happy.
43:02That you might be naturally more suited to.
43:04That's all.
43:09I'm not naturally suited to being king.
43:11That's not what I said.
43:12The thing I was born to do.
43:18I don't think I've ever heard anything more quietly eviscerating.
43:23You're twisting my words up.
43:24Please don't get up.
43:25Say that about our son too.
43:27That you wouldn't wish him to inherit his birthright either.
43:30What caring mother would?
43:32Watch him suffer this madness.
43:36This waiting for it to happen.
43:38The expectation.
43:40Look how miserable it's made you.
43:42It's not the waiting that made me miserable.
43:44It was the years spent rotting in a marriage to someone trying to destroy me!
43:48I do, dear.
43:48Why on earth did you marry into this family if that's the way you felt?
43:51If I didn't marry a family, I married a man.
43:53I married you because I loved you.
44:00And I gave birth to a son that we might have a family together.
44:04Not a monarch in waiting.
44:14I could ask you the same question.
44:18Why did you marry me?
44:22Because I had no choice.
44:32Ask my parents.
44:37They were perfectly aware I loved someone else.
44:48There it is.
44:56Or perhaps they also knew that a younger, more popular wife might help you succeed.
45:05I'm not sure how popular she is now, now that everyone sees who she really is.
45:09My popularity has been transferred to William, who everyone prefers to see as king, not you.
45:21You know, I came here today wracked by guilt and uncertainty and sad for what the country had lost and
45:31sorry for my part in it.
45:38But I live here liberated.
45:43And more certain than ever that only with you out of my life and out of this family can anyone
45:49find the happiness and the stability that's eluded us for 16 years.
46:30Couple number 31, case number 5029 of 96, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness the
46:40Princess of Wales.
46:42It is understood that both parties have lived apart for two years prior to the petition and that the respondent
46:50consents to the granting of this decree.
46:54Does any party or person wish to show cause against the decrees being pronounced or to be heard as to
47:01the question of costs?
47:06Very well. I pronounce decrees and make orders in accordance with the respective district judges' certificates.
47:14Could we clear the courtroom, please? Thank you.
47:48Yes, ma'am.
47:54There are those who say that the monarchy has no relevance to modern British life.
48:06Obviously a lot of people don't agree.
48:19And so, out into sunshine and bells and wild delight, as a palpable wave of affection
48:25and pride wells out from the crowd.
48:38The marrow fills with people, like a thermometer fills with mercury.
48:44Who can doubt the love and happiness that this couple so obviously feel and share?
48:49So strong, that for one inspiring day, a whole nation can forget its troubles to unite in wishing them well.
