Transcript
00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:19What?
04:46I had a call from the Sunday childcare staff,
04:48times a day, sir, regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy, and it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen, again and again, the same words came up. Irrelevant, old, expensive,
05:00out of touch. Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir. Really? Should I cover my
05:07ears? No, on the contrary. They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic, and when asked
05:16almost half believe you would make an excellent king and would support an early application by the
05:20Queen in your favour. And the story is running when? Sunday week, sir. When I'll be in Italy with the
05:31family. Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal. As you know, a big part of your
05:37appeal as future king is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen. Yes. So we've taken the liberty
05:43of
05:43briefing one or two friendly newspapers that it's a second honeymoon. Right.
06:08That's what they said. Those are the words they used. Second honeymoon.
06:21Americanτ
07:52Look, five minutes to go boarding.
08:01Five minutes.
08:02Let's go.
08:10This is classic, Charles.
08:14On the one hand, he says he wants his holiday to his second honeymoon, and he invites cousin Norton and
08:19wife Penny to join us.
08:20Those two are so much apart of the high-growth furniture.
08:23Camilla might as well be here herself.
08:25If one were to be charitable for a moment, they've been through a lot recently with their youngest.
08:30Oh, I know.
08:31My goddaughter, Leonora.
08:33What's the latest?
08:34She's in a mission.
08:36You know how it is.
08:37One can never be sure.
08:51Hello.
08:52Hello.
08:54Hi.
08:54Hi.
09:14I just wanted to say how happy I am that we're doing this.
09:41I just wanted to say how happy I am that we're doing this.
10:08What do you think, Michelle?
10:10Give them some of the old magic.
10:11Well, come on, then. Let's blow them away.
10:24Here, here! Here, here!
10:26Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
10:49So, the route I propose that we take is from Naples to Ischia, where Garibaldi spent some time recuperating after
10:59being injured in the Italian Wars of Independence, am I right?
11:02Yes, sir.
11:04Then on to Capri to see the ruins of the magnificent Villa Jovis, then down the Amalfi Coast, on to
11:11Sicily, with a final stop in Olbia on Sardinia for a private view of the Museo Archaeologico there.
11:19And were there any other requests?
11:21Some beaches, perhaps.
11:23There will, of course, be beaches along the way.
11:28And water sports.
11:29And noisy water sports.
11:31And shopping.
11:36Shopping.
11:37It's possible some people might like to go shopping one day.
11:40Who?
11:42Show of hands, would anyone apart from Diana like to go shopping?
11:47And the entire point of being on a beautiful yacht like this is that you can escape from hordes of
11:53people indulging in retailers' recreation.
12:00Me!
12:00I want to go shopping.
12:02Me, too.
12:10Then we'll go shopping.
12:21Thanks for sticking up for me.
12:24What's brave?
12:28Special treat you get to choose between a bedtime story or...
12:32Super Mario!
12:33Don't tell your father.
12:37Are you going back upstairs now?
12:39God, no.
12:40Off to read the classics.
12:43Good and early night.
12:44Love you.
12:45I love you, Mummy.
12:46I love you, too, my darlings.
13:09Charles and Diana seem to be the happy couple again.
13:12What a blessing that would be for everyone.
13:20Who's that?
13:22What was what?
13:23That noise.
13:27There was a mechanical noise.
13:34There it is again.
13:35Right, I'm off.
13:38One last day cutting ribbons in Morecambe, then feet up for the summer.
13:56As patron of the church urban fund, I am aware of the vast challenges faced by this community and many
14:04others across the diocese.
14:06The milk marketing board is among the most enduring and resilient of Britain's commercial enterprises.
14:15This state-of-the-art dairy complex is testament to the continuing vitality of British others.
14:26It has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers, representing a great 30% of the European
14:35freight market.
14:37It is clear that intermodal containers are Lancashire's ticket to a bright future.
15:06How long has the pressure been down on that ground?
15:08Since this morning, sir.
15:22It shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart.
15:25She's a creature of another age.
15:28Effectively a World War II cruiser with soft furnishings.
15:32In many ways, she's obsolete.
15:34Don't say that.
15:36What are the options?
15:37Well, we've trouble with the main engine.
15:40Stubborn boilers out of service.
15:44Sentimentally, I think we'd all prefer to stick with her.
15:47I should say.
15:48But we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs when she's so obviously past her best.
15:55Are you seeing the Prime Minister in Balmoral next week?
15:58Yes.
15:58He's coming with his wife, Dora.
16:01No, that's not right.
16:03Nora.
16:05Norma.
16:05Well, you might want to bring it up with him then.
16:08I'll talk to the Admiral and come up with some figures.
16:12But it's the first time I've started to consider the unthinkable.
16:15What's that?
16:16A replacement.
16:20Built in AD 27 by...
16:25Tiberius.
16:26Tiberius?
16:26Wow.
16:27The most magnificent of world imperial residences here in Caterine.
16:34Some people say that Tiberius escaped to Caterine because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court
16:40in Rome.
16:41Not something I could ever understand.
16:44But after a long, successful career as a general...
16:59Bye, Charles.
17:01We'll miss you while we're having all the fun.
17:07It's an extraordinary how two people's understanding of fun could be so wholly different.
17:21When they suggested to us, Diana and I, that we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon,
17:31I said to them, you obviously weren't at the first one.
17:35On Britannia, wasn't it?
17:36Yes.
17:37I know the Queen thinks the Royal Yacht is perfect in every way, but as an intimate space for newlyweds,
17:43it's like a floating observation tank.
17:48Every awkward silence and stilted conversation between bride and glue glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200
17:58crew.
18:06Did you just say bride and glue?
18:10Did I?
18:17The irony is, I'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy.
18:21It seems to lift the rest of the world up.
18:26When we're together in public, I can't deny it is magical.
18:31The perfect team.
18:33Yet in private.
18:39Listen to me.
18:41After everything you've been through with your girl.
18:43Oh.
18:47She let me comb her hair last week.
18:50First time since it's grown back.
18:52Do you know it's come back curly?
18:56I found myself slightly ashamed to think I actually preferred it that way.
19:03It's a dreadful, wicked disease.
19:08You've all been so wonderfully strong.
19:14Is it important?
19:15The Sunday time, sir?
19:18Oh.
19:19Yes.
19:20I'll leave you to it.
19:25It's running tomorrow.
19:27I've managed to gain advance sight of it, and I think you'll agree it's pretty punchy.
19:47Good morning, your majesty.
19:49Good morning, Peggy.
19:52Oh, a bit wet for the arrival of the Princess Royal.
19:56Oh, she won't mind this.
20:03Good morning, your mother.
20:05My highness.
20:08Welcome aboard, your royal highness.

22:48i'll look into it ma'am when you find it i'll be on deck
23:06well to say the article has had an impact would be an understatement it's provoked significant
23:12debate on radio and television with one particular phrase getting most attention
23:16queen victoria's syndrome yes i saw that
23:23an aging monarch too long on the throne whose remoteness from the modern world has led people to grow
23:30tired not just of her but of the monarchy itself
23:36any reaction from the queen my understanding is she hasn't seen it
23:40that they've kept it from her to protect her feelings doesn't that tell you everything
23:51i'd like you to arrange a meeting with the prime minister as soon as we're back
23:57i'll think about suitable pretext
24:06look it's a whale where
24:11oh good spot

24:21get any closer

24:42oh yes
24:44it's like a bulrush out of a pond
24:48with sheer beauty
24:49you say so dear
24:53it's one of the last manned lighthouses in scotland
24:58why don't we pay her a visit really must we come on a bit of exercise is good for the
25:03figure
25:03at our age the weight does not stay off by itself come on
25:07no
25:33our eyes
25:37people wonder why i find lighthouses so inspiring
25:41when you get to a place like this.
25:55New inquiry?
25:57Tim?
25:58No, he's been with us for a while.
26:03What come I never noticed?
26:06Because you're married.
26:09Are you technically?
26:12What's he like?
26:16Reliable, sensible, agreeable.
26:18Hmm.
26:20I think we ought to get back to lighthouses.
26:25Those beacons of light
26:26in an otherwise black and hopeless night
26:30that reassure the lonely mariner
26:32they are not forgotten
26:34and will soon find land and home
26:38and hope.
26:56It appears that there has to be an unfortunate
26:59curtailment to the holiday.
27:01Clash of diaries, I understand.
27:02What?
27:03Yes, Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture
27:05at the university.
27:06Shut up.
27:07There won't be any sharks.
27:08Don't be carried away.
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a...
27:15a diary conflict
27:17through no fault of mine
27:18and I have to get back.
27:20You're supposed to be here for two weeks.
27:21Yes, I know.
27:22Don't ever.
27:23The plans change.
27:25I have a commitment at Oxford University.
27:27It isn't the university.
27:30It's a summer school for tourists.
27:31It's not essential.
27:32It is to me.
27:36This is our holiday.
27:39It's a rare opportunity for us to be together
27:41with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing
27:44which is why I agreed to you
27:45bringing your friends along to entertain you.
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today
27:50requested by your people
27:51so the lie could be paraded to the world's media
27:53about what an adoring husband you are on one condition.
27:55What's that?
27:56That you actually are one.
28:33What's that?
28:36What's that?
28:40What's that?
28:42What's that?
28:43What's that?
28:44What's that?
28:45What's that?
28:45What's that?
28:46What's that?
28:48What's that?
28:49What's that?
28:51What's that?
28:52What's that?
28:53What's that?
28:54What's that?
28:55What's that?
28:55What's that?
28:55What's that?
28:56I love you, I love you, I love you.
29:35...tens of thousands of British families.
29:38Repossessions are now at record levels.
29:40In the first half of this year, 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies.
29:48Go!
29:49Hunt!
29:53I think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the war.
29:58And it has struck right across the economy.
30:01It's certainly been a very difficult year.
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:11Prime Minister.
30:14Your Royal Highness.
30:15So kind of you should come.
30:16Sir.
30:20Before we begin, I wonder, did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we were meeting?
30:25I don't believe so, sir.
30:27Probably for the best.
30:36There are two reasons I asked if I could see you today.
30:40The first, conserving our built heritage.
30:44I wonder, did you receive the copy of my book?
30:46I did.
30:48I don't suppose you found time to flick through it.
30:50Knowing we were meeting today, I made a point of it.
30:53Reading it, I'm sure you thought, what an old fogey.
30:58How stuck in the past he is with his loathing of modernism and change.
31:04Not at all.
31:05Why?
31:08You'd have been right to.
31:09I am fixated by the past.
31:12By tradition.
31:15Preserving it.
31:16Conserving it.
31:17But none of us is exclusively one thing.
31:19Human beings are too interesting for that.
31:21You yourself are full of fascinating contradictions.
31:24Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton, a multicultural, working-class part of London, one might have expected you either to have concealed your
31:33past in order to fit in with the Tories, or to have a more socialist viewpoint and become a rising
31:39star in the Labour Party.
31:40I have never felt that, because of my background, I should not be a conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:46You not only refuse to deny your contradictions, you don't see them as contradictions.
31:52I don't.
31:53Which makes you a far more interesting, more complex, more impressive person.
32:02And I hope that the same can be said of me.
32:09Which brings me to the second reason for our meeting.
32:12You saw the, uh, the recent poll and Sunday Times article about the Queen.
32:20I did.
32:22Queen Victoria's Syndrome.
32:27What were your conclusions?
32:31It's just a poll, sir.
32:34True.
32:36Not a reassuring one.
32:38Polls come and go.
32:40Dangerous to ignore them.
32:42Equally dangerous to be guided by them.
32:55There must have been many polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure.
33:03I'm sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever, but...
33:06What makes the Conservative Party the successful electoral force that it is?
33:11Its instinct for renewal and its willingness to make way for someone younger.
33:19For almost 60 years, my great-great-grandfather, Edward VII, was kept waiting in the wings.
33:29It was said that Queen Victoria had no confidence in him, thought him dangerous, free-thinking.
33:37He longed to be given responsibilities, but his mother refused, even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came, he proved his doubters wrong, and his dynamism, his intellect, his popular appeal made
33:57his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying...
34:04What a pity it was.
34:06What a waste.
34:08That his...
34:10Voice, his...
34:12His presence, his vision, wasn't incorporated earlier.
34:16It would have been so good.
34:19For everybody.
34:30You're coming to Balmoral, to the Ghillies Ball?
34:34Yes.
34:35Very much looking forward to it.
34:39Well, then you'll have an opportunity to, uh...
34:44Judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about so deeply...
34:54Is in safe hands.
35:02Now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations.
35:47Well, thank you.
35:49Calm down, my love.
35:50Come here.
35:51So distant.
35:52Don't want to leave it.
35:54Everything.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, the weather never disappoints me, yeah.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:03Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We haven't.
36:08I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
36:11Hi, Mum.
36:13We had a lovely morning.
36:15We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty?
36:21Doesn't she look pretty, Mum?
36:26Of course.
36:35You asked to see me, ma'am?
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:47What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the judge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:18More points of Derby.
37:32Let's go.
37:34Clebo?
37:35Clebo, Cleo.
37:36Cleo.
37:37Cleo.
37:40Cleo.
37:41Cleo.
37:42Cleo.
37:43Cleo.
37:44Cleo.
37:45Cleo.
37:52Hold on, let's go.
38:42Hold on, let's go.
38:52Hold on.
39:26Hold on, let's go.
39:40Hold on, let's go.
40:28Hold on, let's go.
40:44Hold on, let's go.
40:44Hold on.
40:49Hold on, let's go.
41:22Hold on, let's go.
41:36Hold on.
41:50Hold on, let's go.
42:12Hold on, let's go.
42:39Hold on.
42:55Hold on, let's go.
43:31Hold on, let's go.
43:38Hold on, let's go.
44:11Hold on, let's go.
44:14Hold on, let's go.
44:20Hold on, let's go.
44:21Hold on, let's go.
44:34Hold on, let's go.
44:35Hold on, let's go.
44:36Hold on, let's go.
44:39Hold on, let's go.
44:39Hold on, let's go.
44:59Hold on, let's go.
45:27I'm not just dating the queen.
45:43Will you do me the honor, Prime Minister?
45:45The honor would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You know you're my name.
45:53Oh, thanks.
45:54Very great.
45:55I do.
45:57Amazing.
45:57Here we go.
46:18But you have to understand.
46:20It's not just upsetting to reduce the royal yacht to a cost-benefit equation.
46:26It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience, but I would argue a minor one next to the yacht's
46:35enduring role as a national symbol and her importance to the queen personally.
46:42Boys, say goodnight to Mr. Major.
46:45Goodnight, sir.
46:46Goodnight, sir.
46:47Goodnight.
47:09Some local history for you if you're interested.
47:12Of course.
47:13Queen Victoria held the first gillies ball in 1852, and there's been one every year since.
47:21I see.
47:21It began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants, and has since developed
47:30into something of a saturnalian, if you know your classics.
47:37Well, the rules are turned upside down for a day, masters serving slaves, and all disciplinary
47:43measures suspended for the night.
47:57I was just telling the prime minister that these things can get quite giddy.
48:02Not that I ever witness any of it.
48:04I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed.
48:06Can I count on you for a full report in the morning?
48:09You can, Your Majesty.
48:11Goodnight.
48:12Can we slip away?
48:14Our Majesty the Queen!
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today.
48:40I know I shouldn't ask, but, uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:46Sir?
48:48The, uh, the refit to Britannia.
48:52That is what she asked you for.
48:54Sir?
48:56Sometimes these old things, uh, they're too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:11I can't, not yet.
49:12You dance with me before I scream.
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow back to normality.
49:22Now I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you've just had a lovely family holiday.
49:27You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of a family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:35And look.
49:37Anne and Mark.
49:39Look at Andrew and Sarah.
49:42Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:57And then...
50:04Oh my God!
50:04The presentation of Pirates is working.
50:06It's not.
50:07I'm very sorry.
50:15I'm very sorry.
50:18No, no, no!
50:24Hey, that's all right there!
50:26Fuck!
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with this Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs, the economy in free fall, going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be binding the nation together,
51:03setting an example of idealized family life.
51:07Instead, the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals, feckless, entitled, and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales, impatient for a bigger role in public life,
51:28fails to appreciate that his one great asset is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
52:17On my watch.
