Transcript
00:00:01We are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation
00:00:06to join together this man and this woman in holy matter.
00:00:16Instituted of God in the time of man's innocence, signifying unto us the mystical union that
00:00:23is between Christ and his church.
00:00:25Therefore, it is not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or
00:00:33wantonly, to satisfy men's carnal lusts and appetites like brute beasts that understand
00:00:40nothing, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God, duly considering
00:00:50the causes for which matrimony was ordained.
00:00:55Now I've crowned you my princess
00:01:03Though there's nothing in a name
00:01:15Others would have sounded pretty tame
00:01:23If you were poorer
00:01:29I could be no surer
00:01:36That you're a princess
00:01:42May I call you princess
00:01:49If you say
00:01:51Love
00:01:53Thank you very much
00:01:54Very, very fresh
00:01:55Full of vitality, thank you
00:01:57And we're going to do another one when we're ready
00:02:02I'm your prince
00:02:03Thank you
00:02:04And to me everyone
00:02:05And...
00:02:06Next
00:02:07Pride and gruel
00:02:08Pride and gruel
00:02:13Bloody awful things
00:02:15Weddings
00:02:16Dreadfully upsetting
00:02:18Unless it's one's own of course
00:02:24Another couple
00:02:24Another couple offer to build a castle
00:02:27Lower the portcullis
00:02:28Pull up the drawbridge
00:02:29How do you mean?
00:02:31Couples do that, don't they?
00:02:33They turn to each other
00:02:34They turn to each other
00:02:34And all we see is their backs
00:02:38So what am I to do, really?
00:02:43They all want to take me on, apparently
00:02:48Through daunting a prospect
00:02:51I could keep it again
00:02:54Don't be silly, old friend
00:02:57Yes, but isn't that the first quality one should look for in a husband?
00:03:01In the olden days people weren't confused
00:03:04People married for sensible reasons
00:03:06Marriage was a consolidation of assets
00:03:09Also of other things
00:03:13Friendship
00:03:15Valued
00:03:18Outlooks
00:03:21We breed Derby winners
00:03:24Have an army of children
00:03:26They leave
00:03:27Look, and I know the rules
00:03:30I know the rules
00:03:31And your family all know me
00:03:33And I think are not averse
00:03:36Oh, they adore you
00:03:37And I, you
00:03:41Always have
00:03:45I'm your old faithful, after all
00:03:47And I know the rules
00:03:54You
00:03:54You
00:03:55You
00:03:55You
00:03:55You
00:04:15As
00:04:20Mummy said something interesting the other day.
00:04:23No.
00:04:26She said that the first ten years of marriage were just an overture.
00:04:32That there's often a crisis at ten years, but then you work it out and settle in.
00:04:40And it's only then that it really gets into its stride.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:48Do you suppose that's what's happened to us?
00:04:53Possibly.
00:04:58I was thinking perhaps we should have a big anniversary party this year
00:05:05to celebrate hitting our stride.
00:05:14All right.
00:05:22Yes?
00:05:23All right.
00:05:27So how was it?
00:05:31Oh, it somehow managed to lift the spirits and make one want to kill oneself in equal measure.
00:05:37It took forever to get there. Mummy was a nightmare.
00:05:41Mercifully, they sent a helicopter to bring us back.
00:05:47And I had this horrible feeling that somewhere, in the middle of it all, I agreed to get married myself.
00:05:58What?
00:06:01To whom?
00:06:03Billy Wallace.
00:06:05Goodness.
00:06:07Congratulations.
00:06:10Oh.
00:06:11Christ.
00:06:15So if I were to accept, it would be a yes from you?
00:06:23Yes, of course.
00:06:25An emphatic yes.
00:06:27And Philip and I were just discussing having a party for our tenth wedding anniversary.
00:06:33And you and Billy could use the occasion to announce your engagement, if you wanted.
00:06:40That's a nice idea.
00:06:43Well, that's settled then.
00:06:46My pleasure.
00:06:47Good night, Margaret.
00:06:58Ahhhhhhh
00:08:41What are you doing up there?
00:08:43Notionally, it's providing information about the density of the Earth's upper atmosphere.
00:09:17It's a joint effort to meet the Russian threat.
00:09:19That is the way to repair Anglo-American relations, which, as you know, have deteriorated terribly due to the Suez
00:09:29Crisis.
00:09:31Right.
00:09:32You know, after the war, they said that I...
00:09:34I'm absolutely determined to restore the special relationship that exists between our two countries.
00:09:39We're bound by so much more than just language and shared history.
00:09:45It's a kind of marriage, as in any marriage.
00:09:49There'll be ups and downs, but one must work to get things back on track.
00:09:54Rather in the same way that a doctor examines a patient...
00:09:58They say that listening is important.
00:10:00But this is really quite a simple...
00:10:01In any marriage.
00:10:03First try.
00:10:04Does that mean, then, that we can learn just as much from this satellite as the Russians?
00:10:19Well, how are we going to do this?
00:10:21I think the driver should drop me first, then take you onto the station.
00:10:25Or I could wait.
00:10:28I don't think that would be wise.
00:10:32Why?
00:10:34How long do you need with him?
00:10:37A day.
00:10:40Maybe two.
00:10:42It's the last time, I promise.
00:10:45Don't make promises you cannot keep.
00:10:47No.
00:10:48I'm determined to mend it.
00:10:51It's time, now that you're Prime Minister.
00:10:54Yes, it is.
00:11:05No.
00:11:13No.
00:11:15No.
00:11:18You're not going to die.
00:11:24No.
00:11:24No.
00:11:24No.
00:11:24No.
00:11:29No.
00:11:31with a one two three flash oh quite magnificent thank you why does it always have to be Cecil
00:11:39Beaton taking my official birthday portrait what's wrong with Cecil when it came out last
00:11:44year everyone said how pretty you look no they said how much I look like you well quite yeah
00:11:52this is just one thing fairy tales yes but he does it so well and to me your royal highness
00:12:01little less chin and what do you think I asked my new lady-in-waiting here today your majesty to
00:12:11offer her opinion having at least one foot in the real world I think birthday portraits should
00:12:19evolve and mature with age like the subject show change in the character complexity reality
00:12:30no one wants complexity and reality from us do sit down people have enough of that in their own lives
00:12:40they want us to help them escape indeed your majesty imagine this if you will a young woman
00:12:49a commonplace creature she sits in her drab little scullery so much work to do so much
00:12:55washing up how she longs for comfort for hope and again one two three and flash
00:13:05she wants to believe her life has some meaning beyond chores she opens a magazine
00:13:11and she sees her royal highness's photograph for one glorious transforming moment she becomes a princess too she is lifted
00:13:23out of her miserable pitiful reality into a fantasy
00:13:32later she will step out of her house in a new neckerchief perhaps for which she has saved oh she
00:13:41will hold her head up high she is renewed and all thanks to you your royal highness and to the
00:13:50ideal which you represent
00:13:54and now with a one two three and flash quite marvelous
00:14:21in the 20 or so years we've known the hapless and misshapen crane that is billy wallace it has any
00:14:27woman ever looked at him as an object of desire
00:14:29I mean, even remotely.
00:14:32Certainly not.
00:14:34Then how can one begin to explain that?
00:15:06Ma'am, Lord Blanford just telephoned to apologise and say that Mr Wallace may be indisposed this evening.
00:15:12They can't be indisposed. We're announcing our engagement.
00:15:15Something about an injury. Rather a serious injury.
00:15:33Where is he?
00:15:41Your Royal Highness, Princess Margaret.
00:15:44Out on my way.
00:15:45Oh, shit. You must keep a leg up, sir.
00:15:48Billy?
00:15:49It's all right, Simpson.
00:16:01What's going on? It's our announcement this evening.
00:16:05Unforeseen cirques, I'm afraid. Rather a dust-up in the early hours.
00:16:10Are you drunk?
00:16:12Don't be like that. I had to do something for the pain.
00:16:15What happened?
00:16:17Wait till you hear. You'll laugh till you spit.
00:16:20Your friend Tennant rather took offence at something I did.
00:16:23You came to blaze with Colin?
00:16:25I believe the word duel was mentioned.
00:16:28A duel.
00:16:30Tennant issued the challenge.
00:16:32A little childish in this day and age, if you ask me, but a duel is a duel, so I
00:16:36stepped up to the mark.
00:16:40That's what a gentleman does.
00:16:47If I'm completely honest, a little drink had been taken during the night.
00:16:52But we faced the dawn with clear heads and strong hearts.
00:16:58Now Tennant wanted to motor up to Glen to get his father's old pistols.
00:17:02Would have been quite ridiculous, much too far away.
00:17:05So Blamford offered his.
00:17:07That was a bloody stupid mistake.
00:17:09A duel is not just a test of marksmanship.
00:17:12It's a test of character.
00:17:16Ten paces.
00:17:19One.
00:17:20Two.
00:17:22Three.
00:17:23Four.
00:17:25Five.
00:17:27Six.
00:17:28Seven.
00:17:30Eight.
00:17:32Nine.
00:17:33Ten.
00:17:37Fucker shot me in the leg.
00:17:39Bloody awful thing.
00:17:40Anyway, I survived with a small flesh wound.
00:17:46And why was he angry with you?
00:17:49it's the strangest thing but ever since word got out about our engagement i've found myself quite
00:17:54the center of attention it's as though every good-looking girl on earth's taken the news as
00:17:59a personal challenge i'm not used to the idea of being a bow much less a catch seems to have
00:18:07gone to my head rather had a bit of a fumble at blenheim it was rather a beauty some pictures
00:18:15you know an actress anyway tenant got wind of it got very cross
00:18:27yes with reason
00:18:32pathetic
00:18:35weak contemptible fool
00:18:39i never even wanted to marry you
00:18:42you were only ever an act of charity
00:18:45or desperation
00:18:48and now you insult me you
00:18:51people like you don't get to insult people like me you get to be eternally grateful
00:18:58and you've quite the way with women
00:19:02take a look with this face
00:19:04a picture of disappointment and disgust
00:19:09this is the look that every woman you ever know will come to share
00:19:14this is what the next 40 years of your life will look like
00:19:25margaret
00:19:27margaret
00:19:50her royal highnesses she'll explain everything later yes i'm sure she will thank you michael thank you
00:20:19all right all right settle down so on my recent tour of the pacific
00:20:24margaret
00:20:25i was introduced to a man who said to me
00:20:27my wife is a doctor of philosophy and much more important than i am
00:20:32margaret
00:20:33to which i could only reply ah yes sir we have that trouble in our family too
00:20:43you know when i imagined our marriage in the early days i imagined two people
00:20:48are welded together into some sort of combined existence ten years ten years has taught me
00:20:58the secret of a successful marriage is actually to have different interests
00:21:03well different interests but not not not entirely different
00:21:13so it's a funny business one sees the whole of the other person you see even that part of them
00:21:19that they don't see themselves and and presumably they see that hidden part of you
00:21:27one ends up knowing more about one's partner than they know about themselves
00:21:33and it could be pretty tough to keep quiet about it so you have to you have to come to
00:21:40an
00:21:40accommodation an arrangement a deal if you like to take the rough with the smooth
00:21:52the extraordinary thing is
00:21:55down there in the rough in the long reeds of difficulty and pain
00:22:04that is where you find the treasure
00:22:10so i would like to propose a toast
00:22:14in the name of love
00:22:18in the name of our beloved country
00:22:21in the name of steadfastness
00:22:24in the name of another ten marvellous years
00:22:30i give you my betty shoe
00:22:41lilibet
00:22:44elizabeth
00:22:48the queen
00:22:53the queen

00:22:56the queen
00:22:56the queen
00:27:04Good morning.
00:27:05Oh, darling, what a mess.
00:27:09It is the most beautiful day.
00:27:16I bought something to cheer you up.
00:27:20Cecil's magnificent work.
00:27:23He's quite outdone himself this time.
00:27:27I can tell you which one I would choose as the official birthday portrait.
00:27:32And Cecil immediately agreed.
00:27:35But, of course, it's for you to decide.
00:27:38I can tell you which one I would choose.
00:28:12And with regards to Billy Wallace...
00:28:14Don't mention that name.
00:28:16I've had him on the telephone to me all morning, quite distraught.
00:28:20Then his mother, then his grandma...
00:28:22No, I'm never speaking to him again.
00:28:24Then we will find you someone else.
00:28:29I don't want you to find me anyone.
00:28:33Moritz Landsgrave of Hesse.
00:28:35He's a distant cousin.
00:28:37Now, his mother was a Catholic, but their lands are still intact.
00:28:41And he gives a very good show of himself on the polo field.
00:28:44No one!
00:28:45Someone suggested Prince Christian of Hanover.
00:28:49A descendant of Queen Victoria.
00:28:52Served in the Luftwaffe, but we won't hold that against him.
00:28:56I do know what the official duties of the lady-in-waiting are.
00:28:59Accompanying me on foreign trips, dealing with my mail.
00:29:04Do you suppose it might also include helping me climb over the wall to escape?
00:29:09I just can't bear it anymore.
00:29:11I'm having some people to dinner.
00:29:13Tonight.
00:29:16Not normal people.
00:29:18Yes, they're all normal.
00:29:21But in their own way, they're all quite exceptional, too.
00:29:24You can go.
00:29:25Possibly not deferential.
00:29:29That's fine.
00:29:31As long as they still meet the main requirements.
00:29:34Which are?
00:29:36That none of them breeds horses, owns lend.
00:29:40Or knows my mother.
00:30:04All right, all of you?
00:30:07Hello?
00:30:10Everyone, I'd like you to say hello to our guest of honour,
00:30:14Her Royal Highness, the Princess Margaret.
00:30:19Hello.
00:30:19Hello.
00:30:22Are you ready, ma'am?
00:30:24Here come the introductions.
00:30:26Here we have Dudley on the piano.
00:30:31And this here is Shilpa.
00:30:33Oh, there's a dud.
00:30:34What do you think?
00:30:37Oh, God, Jane.
00:30:38Oh, God, Jane.
00:30:41You must be sure to...
00:30:43Oh, dear.
00:30:46Oh, dear.
00:30:47Oh, dear.
00:30:47Oh, dear.
00:30:47Thank you, Jane.
00:30:47I can always ask, Jane.
00:30:48Do you know that our designers...
00:31:11You're feeling a little left out.
00:31:15You're thinking to yourself,
00:31:18and these dabblers and freaks all seem to know one another very well.
00:31:27Then you'd be absolutely right.
00:31:32Now, be honest.
00:31:35Can you remember any of the names?
00:31:41You're not really.
00:31:42Can't remember me either?
00:31:44What we've met.
00:31:46We have.
00:31:48Where have we met?
00:31:50Perhaps he'll come to you.
00:31:52Now, where to begin?
00:31:55Huh.
00:31:56Far corner.
00:31:58The irresistible so-and-so with the mustard-colored pearly neck.
00:32:01Irresistible?
00:32:02Oh, come on.
00:32:03A nine, surely.
00:32:05Seven.
00:32:07He's called Jeremy.
00:32:08He's heir to a chocolate fortune.
00:32:10Married to the blonde beauty opposite.
00:32:14Oh, she doesn't eat.
00:32:15Isn't she?
00:32:17Yes, they dazzle in public, those do.
00:32:20They don't disappoint in private, either.
00:32:23More of that another time, I think.
00:32:24Who's next?
00:32:26Ah, yes.
00:32:27Our flushed and fleshy friend in Paisley.
00:32:30His name's Ken Russell.
00:32:31Makes documentaries for the BBC.
00:32:33Travels everywhere on a bus.
00:32:38You've probably never been on a bus, have you?
00:32:43No.
00:32:45Pity.
00:32:46You really do meet the best people.
00:32:51Tell me about the woman with the, uh, extraordinary eyes.
00:32:57Brown is Frankenstein.
00:33:00She played opposite Boris Karloff of that movie, you know, actress.
00:33:05No one can quite make out why she left a rather brilliant film producer for a dreary politician.
00:33:13No.
00:33:13His name's John Perfumo.
00:33:16Fucking dull.
00:33:17It's true.
00:33:18It's true.
00:33:19But...
00:33:20The older gentleman.
00:33:22Poseidon.
00:33:23Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:33:23I know who that one is.
00:33:24That's John Becham.
00:33:25The poet.
00:33:27Um...
00:33:29Books from Boots and Country Lanes.
00:33:31Free speech.
00:33:33Free passes.
00:33:34Class distinction.
00:33:36Distinction.
00:33:39Democracy.
00:33:40Democracy.
00:33:41And...
00:33:42Robber dreams.
00:33:43Robber dreams.
00:33:45Just so.
00:33:50Is it really true he has two wives?
00:33:54I hope so.
00:33:57Better if he has three.
00:34:00We don't want anyone conventional around here.
00:34:06No.
00:34:10Tell me about you.
00:34:12Oh, God.
00:34:13You don't remember?
00:34:14No.
00:34:15I'm a photographer.
00:34:18Oh, the wedding photographer.
00:34:20Ah, that was a favour.
00:34:21It's not my normal line of work.
00:34:23What is?
00:34:25This.
00:34:30Ah.
00:34:31What?
00:34:32These are yours?
00:34:34Yes.
00:34:36Portraits?
00:34:37Mmm, I don't like that word.
00:34:39It's so stuffy and traditional.
00:34:41Oh, sorry.
00:34:43What are they then?
00:34:45Mmm, people.
00:34:46Faces.
00:34:47They're the most interesting subject that I've found so far.
00:34:52If you can think of anything more interesting, do let me know.
00:34:57Oh, I like them.
00:35:00As if there's no camera at all.
00:35:03Caught them off guard.
00:35:04Uh, it's all luck, really.
00:35:07You made the ugliness beautiful.
00:35:09I despise posturing and pretentiousness and humbug.
00:35:14Don't you?
00:35:17Is that why you took up photography?
00:35:21Maybe.
00:35:23Maybe it's just a good way to get behind closed doors.
00:35:26Somebody's door in particular?
00:35:28Just doors, generally.
00:35:29The facade is only useful as a markup or something one has to get behind or beyond.
00:35:33The surface is so dreary, don't you think?
00:35:37What people want to show themselves, the idealised version of no interest to me.
00:35:41What people hide...
00:35:44That interests me.
00:35:49But you get so close.
00:35:53Isn't it rather an intrusion?
00:35:55It's very much an intrusion, yes.
00:35:57That's exactly what photography is.
00:36:00I use a small light, nothing fancy.
00:36:03A natural light, which means that I can prowl around.
00:36:06All the while I'm getting closer and closer.
00:36:09And in the end, it's kind of like...
00:36:12It's, uh...
00:36:13Intrusion.
00:36:17Intimacy.
00:36:38How would you feel about taking my photograph?
00:36:40Well, I'd consider it.
00:36:43On one condition.
00:36:46Go on.
00:36:48When you come to my slum studio, leave the titles and princess outside.
00:36:53Happy to.
00:36:54And, for the duration of the session, you do everything I saw.
00:37:00Don't look like that.
00:37:03You're dying to, miss it.
00:37:07Dying to what?
00:37:09Be a supplicant.
00:37:13I can tell.
00:37:18It was the first room I'd ever been to where nobody got up.
00:37:22Bowed.
00:37:23Curtsied.
00:37:25Some just carried on having conversations if I wasn't there at all.
00:37:29Those that did talk to me did with such...
00:37:32indifference or...
00:37:34nonchalance it verged on.
00:37:36I'm pertinent.
00:37:38There was this one, in particular.
00:37:41Tony.
00:37:42Anthony, surely?
00:37:43No.
00:37:44He insisted.
00:37:45Tony.
00:37:46Armstrong Jones.
00:37:47Mrs. Photographer.
00:37:49What?
00:37:49Like Cecil?
00:37:50No, nothing like Cecil.
00:37:52Couldn't be less like Cecil.
00:37:54Well, maybe a bit like Cecil, but he's obviously queer.
00:37:58Interestingly, Elizabeth denies it.
00:38:00Elizabeth who?
00:38:02Cavendish.
00:38:03I called him when I got home last night and interrogated her.
00:38:05What are the five most important things I need to know about that man?
00:38:09Why five?
00:38:10I don't know. It felt like the right number.
00:38:13Why not three?
00:38:14It's more interesting than three.
00:38:17So what did she say?
00:38:19One.
00:38:20It is Welsh.
00:38:21Is that interesting?
00:38:23No, not particularly.
00:38:25Well, he had polio as a child.
00:38:27He has a passion for inventing things.
00:38:30And he would never dream of being anything as straightforward as simply queer.
00:38:35What on earth does that mean?
00:38:37Not altogether, sure.
00:38:39But...
00:38:41I'm also not even curious to find out.
00:38:43What was number five?
00:38:44You can go.
00:38:46That was five.
00:38:47No, Margaret, that was four.
00:38:49It was alright. Five is...
00:38:52I liked him.
00:38:54Yes.
00:38:55I can tell that.
00:38:58There's a contempt in him.
00:39:00What for?
00:39:04For me.
00:39:06For us.
00:39:08For everything we represent.
00:39:14I actually think you'd like him.
00:39:17That's what's so dangerous about him.
00:39:21Upstairs!
00:39:21Thank you, guys!
