00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:18Come on.
00:02:19Come on.
00:02:19Come on.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:32Come on.
00:02:35I don't know.
00:03:17I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:21Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:26Let's go.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:31Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:13Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:26Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:53Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:54Don't you knock, sir?
00:07:03Don't you knock, sir?
00:10:09Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday to you.
00:10:22Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday to you.
00:10:27Happy birthday to you.
00:10:29Good shot.
00:10:31Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:50Happy birthday to you.
00:10:53Happy birthday to you.
00:11:08Help.
00:11:12Happy birthday to you.
00:11:21Happy birthday to you.
00:11:37You look very dashing.
00:11:45Happy birthday to you.
00:11:48Happy birthday to you.
00:11:48Happy birthday to you.
00:12:07Imagine practicing.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:37The third of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:51If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor
00:15:18and private lunch to follow her.
00:15:22Lovely.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:26that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37Crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Hmm.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further, the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:35Man.
00:16:52Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:04Monsieur Halbert.
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches, let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:31It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse, as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab
00:19:14little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign.
00:20:07Gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador.
00:20:20And the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25A box, the one containing his brushes.
00:21:28Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on, I'll be late.
00:21:29Hairbrushes, hairbrushes, floorbrushes, toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:16And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:38The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above me, there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:14The first time I ever spoke in public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:25:29I don't have objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong with it.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:54Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:08Principled historians.
00:26:11Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plot as all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abounds?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you, sir.
00:26:37My own is...
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:27:00That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my...
00:27:03Council of War.
00:27:05My...
00:27:05My brains trust.
00:27:07Of politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I've much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:40A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes.
00:28:13They're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:27The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:28The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:32The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:35The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:37The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:38The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:42The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:44The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt near Eisenhower in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernhard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmid, Dr. Paul Schmid.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmid
00:32:11asked his assistant, von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned.
00:32:24The vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:35hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say
00:33:23the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31I'm unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting
00:33:41that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man
00:33:49you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:28I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:32Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like to look at would be the role of Ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future,
00:36:05His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:33My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today,
00:36:38who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:20Your loving husband,
00:37:23David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one, and might be able
00:38:39to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:45The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway, one or two ideas came up for jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government, and I've
00:39:17been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:25The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner, working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters and telegrams.
00:40:44Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:04In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas, as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Fuhrer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember, I alas not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:21This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:07Big character.
00:43:07Speaker 1, who gave me a very bad thing in this way.
00:43:25Everything all right?
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:37what have i done now no not you uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not what he did to this country those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you what and tell him of your proposed course of action
00:44:26i can't keep summoning him like that why not well he's retired for one thing go and see him
00:44:33in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea or human blood whatever that monster drinks
00:44:40and ask him about your uncle he was his private secretary while he was king
00:44:45he knows everything there is to know
00:44:49so

00:46:01troops of sir edward pakenham's third infantry division
00:46:05very lovely did you have them made
00:46:07a gift ma'am
00:46:09from your grandfather when i was in his service
00:46:12hmm
00:46:14shall we ma'am
00:46:15yes
00:46:25i'm proposing
00:46:26to let the duke of windsor back into public life
00:46:30and as an example of a christian in a christian country
00:46:35to forgive
00:46:39your majesty that would
00:46:42in my view
00:46:45be a mistake
00:46:48why
00:46:51before you make your decision ma'am i believe you should be in full possession
00:46:55of the facts
00:46:56i've read the marburg files
00:46:58so have i
00:47:00i said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more
00:47:05yes ma'am
00:47:09the duke of windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king
00:47:14surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier
00:47:17men such as carl the duke of sax coberg
00:47:21a renowned nazi
00:47:23he also shared classified allied documents with the duchess of windsor
00:47:28who was herself we believe sharing a bed
00:47:32forgive me ma'am
00:47:33with the german ambassador
00:47:35herr ribbentrop
00:47:54it became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried
00:48:02because then we had the application
00:48:09having promised to retire from public life we now know that he had no such intention
00:48:15why else would the pair of them decide to visit hitler in germany
00:48:29the fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit
00:48:32so it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of herr hess
00:48:39that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate
00:48:46the duke of windsor as king of england
00:48:49effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father
00:48:54in return for german forces being given free reign across europe
00:49:00german troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion
00:49:04if necessary
00:49:06and there were visits to ss training schools and early versions of the concentration camps
00:49:13and of course the full horrors were yet to come
00:49:16none the less
00:49:18he visited
00:49:26shall i continue ma'am
00:49:34when a german aircraft crashed in belgium carrying hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of france
00:49:41the duke wasted no time
00:49:43in letting his nazi friends know that allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information
00:49:50which gave germany time to change its plans
00:49:54and in less than a month
00:49:56paris fell to german occupation
00:49:59but perhaps worst of all
00:50:02the duke told the german government that resolve in the united kingdom in the face of the german aerial bombardment
00:50:09was weakening
00:50:11and that continued bombing
00:50:13that is the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects would i quote
00:50:20soon make britain ready for peace
00:50:51the world can be summed up by the
00:50:54in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:14God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now, you may be out with Legion T.
00:51:20We have found you a coach, a churchman, a good standing in the community,
00:51:25but it's your heart, the heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you, and weighing it all up,
00:51:45the amount of time that has passed,
00:51:49and my affection for you, personally,
00:51:52all spoke in its favor.
00:51:55But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who's fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your mother?
00:52:34No.
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's?
00:52:38I came to my own mind.
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own.
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and that's why they threw me out.
00:52:48Fine.
00:52:50I will go.
00:52:53But let me ask you this.
00:52:56Who has done more damage to the monarchy,
00:52:59me with my willfulness,
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes,
00:53:10our ears,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications,
00:53:18as cruel chatter,
00:53:20in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:22But when the truth finally came out,
00:53:25the truth,
00:53:29it makes a mockery
00:53:30of even the central tenets of Christianity.
00:53:33There is no possibility of my forgiving you.
00:53:36The question is,
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:54:02it makes a loss.
00:54:13Oh, cut that off!
00:54:18Sir!
00:54:19Sir!
00:54:20Sir!
00:54:20Sir!
00:54:22Sir!
00:54:23Sir!
00:54:28Sir!
00:54:28Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning.
00:54:33Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning, sir.
00:54:34Morning, sir.
00:54:39We have the go-ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like
00:55:59to hear your views on.
00:56:00Ma'am?
00:56:04Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not
00:56:17forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:38But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:48True, but he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:16The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:20One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
