00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:51It's not a head.
00:02:53It's not a head.
00:02:54It's not a head.
00:03:03It's not a head.
00:03:04It's not a head.
00:03:08It's not a head.
00:03:09It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:11It's not a head.
00:03:12It's not a head.
00:03:13It's not a head.
00:03:16It's not a head.
00:03:18It's not a head.
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandring.
00:04:49I believe you'd give me the all-clear to shoot.
00:04:51Consider a given.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am. Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vinicius Scott. I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right. She's with me.
00:05:08Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:42Um...
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Who is that?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on. Be candid.
00:06:12It is said...
00:06:14you can be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster. Did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true.
00:06:21But you need to be a monster to defeat Hitler.
00:06:24Ah.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What's in it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray vision,
00:06:34you will need to open it,
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America?
00:06:53Or the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:57Then, start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed.
00:07:02If you hear no response,
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:10What?
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949.
00:07:26And in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in sterling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimates...
00:07:41suggest that in 1952,
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between
00:07:48five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:00for recovery.
00:08:02the American
00:08:02of the United Kingdom
00:08:02of the United Kingdom.
00:08:05The American
00:08:05of the United Kingdom
00:08:05of the United Kingdom.
00:08:12The American
00:08:12Either we get
00:08:13with it now
00:08:14or we lose
00:08:15the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly
00:08:17lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:19You must act,
00:08:20Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs
00:08:23a younger, more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader.
00:08:34And he became party leader
00:08:37on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:43Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:09:03a good place.
00:09:11If you're busy,
00:09:12you can lose
00:09:12my freedom!
00:09:12Give me your freedom!
00:09:14Oh, my God!
00:09:15Oh, my God!
00:09:21Come here!
00:09:22Come here!
00:09:22Come here!
00:09:22Come here!
00:09:23Come here!
00:09:24Come here!
00:09:33Thank you very much.
00:09:38Hello.
00:09:40Are those for me?
00:09:42Thank you very much.
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at Treetops, so we've got
00:09:58to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Oh, why?
00:10:05What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:08Why does everybody think, just because we're royal, we like fine dining, don't they realize
00:10:13we're savages good for nothing but schools and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right.
00:10:18You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Philip.
00:10:20Look.
00:10:21Stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:37You're all highness.
00:10:40Kiss me.
00:10:44Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:15His majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22Not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday, but we can provide you
00:11:27with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:31Nine and a half.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58It focuses almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union.
00:12:04So important domestic matters are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:18Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend, as Albert Windsor, you are the one person I can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's as difficult as I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47Well, that person was murdered by his elder brother when he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill...
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us.
00:13:11And that void has been filled by George VI.
00:13:16Who, it turns out, is quite the stickler.
00:13:20And no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir?
00:13:33The national interest or Anthony Egypt's interest?
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience...
00:13:56Not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate mine about you.
00:14:03Sir, the PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted.
00:14:14To encourage. To warm.
00:14:18It is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27And no high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:43Your , sir.
00:14:53You get back.
00:14:54Suddenly, your , sir!
00:15:09Nein!EL
00:15:10сыng- You
00:15:12never miss the?. This
00:15:13truck's gone, son. It
00:15:37I'm your guide. I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Dolly good. Thank you. Pass me my rifle. Thank you. And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary, and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop. This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right. We'll be fine. After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please. Arms late.
00:16:13Someone's got a nice move.
00:16:21Right hand on your left side to our left side.
00:16:26Take a look at this.
00:16:31You're the right.
00:16:32Come on.
00:16:32It's what I've got.
00:16:32I'm going.
00:16:33That's what I've got.
00:16:34I'm going.
00:16:36You're no longer.
00:16:38I'm not going.
00:16:40I'm going.
00:16:40Come on.
00:16:40Go down.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:13Go.
00:17:14Right, your highness, stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:19Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Easy, easy.
00:17:29Hey, hey, hey.
00:17:30Hey, hey!
00:17:31Hey!
00:17:32Over here!
00:17:33Over here!
00:17:34Hey!
00:17:35Around.
00:17:36Around.
00:17:37Huh?
00:17:38Your highness, very slowly.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:48Easy.
00:17:49Stay with me.
00:17:50Now, keep going, your highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Good day.
00:17:52Hey, hey!
00:17:53Stay with me!
00:17:55Away!
00:17:56Away!
00:17:57Away!
00:18:00Back away.
00:18:01When you go easy, you're the king.
00:18:14Good boy.
00:18:19All right.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:33You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:44I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve, well, I thought I'd ask if we might return
00:18:58to Malta, so you can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:06I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:10I have.
00:19:12Well, I have too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:22I know.
00:19:34No.
00:19:35No.
00:19:36Yes.
00:19:36Absolutely not.
00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38Come on.
00:19:39That's one.
00:19:39Come on.
00:19:40Just want to slop it out.
00:19:41No.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:44No!
00:19:44Shhh, Dembo. Dembo.
00:20:25Thank you. Thank you.
00:20:35Anyone not here? Beat out!
00:20:43Right, eight guns today, numbering from the right, moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight, not to worry, you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short parts on the horn. Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:09Are you ready? Fill the vehicle. Thank you very much.
00:21:19Hello. Room for one more?
00:21:21Always.
00:21:27Right. Easy on the clutch. Eyes on the road. Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:34Yeah.
00:21:44Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
00:21:49When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
00:21:56Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:00Am I?
00:22:07Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:11He is cold, I agree
00:22:16I agree
00:22:18He can laugh, but I love him
00:22:23Although the laugh's on me
00:22:27I'll sing to him, each spring to him
00:22:34And long for the day when I cling to him
00:22:40He'll wish, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:48Am I?
00:23:14By the way
00:23:14The crowd's chairs heralded the arrival of the king's car
00:23:17bringing their Majesties and Princess Margaret to the airport for a last
00:23:22farewell to the royal travelers. Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were
00:23:26off on a Commonwealth journey. Nineteen hours later the Royal plane landed at
00:23:31Nairobi. Ahead of them lay a 30,000 mile trip that will take them in five months
00:23:37to four continents. The journey which but for his illness the King himself would have
00:23:41undertaken. We're almost underway.
00:24:19Good morning your Majesty. 7.30 sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:25:03Sir?
00:25:04Mr. Down here?
00:25:09I'm not here.
00:25:21Don't worry, my king has just lost me.
00:25:27Oh!
00:25:32No!
00:25:32No!
00:25:37Lily!
00:25:38Lily!
00:26:02Oh, God!
00:26:32Oh, God!
00:26:42Call the Foreign Secretary.
00:26:45Tell him...
00:26:48Hide Park Corner.
00:26:50He'll understand.
00:26:58Has the Princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new Queen,
00:27:04my understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the Governor in Nairobi.
00:27:39Cool.
00:27:40Come on.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't. We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35You think any other reporters anywhere in the world will be waiting for an all clear?
00:28:39I've had the BBC on the phone again.
00:28:41The news is breaking everywhere. They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news on the princess?
00:28:47No, sir. Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:28:53Thank God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All they have to do is make sure the fan is off and wait.
00:29:11No, stop!
00:29:13She's just... she's overheated.
00:29:15No, can I have that? Thank you.
00:29:17All you have to do...
00:29:21Is wait.
00:29:23It's all right. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:30This is London.
00:29:33It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement.
00:29:37It was announced from Sandringham at 10.45 today.
00:29:41The death has been announced this morning.
00:29:43Since its own property is deprived of Sandringham.
00:29:46No, no, no.
00:29:47You, you can see in a few seconds.
00:29:49I appreciate it.
00:29:52And now, I'm here...
00:29:54NO, I'll see you soon.
00:29:57No, I'll see you soon.
00:29:59No, I will.
00:29:59My credibility.
00:30:00And now, I won't be pending.
00:30:08I'm going to drive to Nanyukai.
00:30:10Nanyukai.
00:30:12Sorry, in a closed car.
00:30:13Morris!
00:30:14Morris!
00:30:151035.
00:30:16Reutersfield.
00:30:191045, sorry.
00:30:21There'll be a demonstration of the units of the African rifles.
00:30:23Christ.
00:30:26Hold on, would you?
00:30:271300, drive to Nanyukai airfield on board.
00:30:30Northeast African Airways C-47, departing on a 1330 Shred Room flight.
00:30:36As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute and news spreads throughout our cities and villages, crowds gather to
00:30:44mourn King George VI.
00:30:47We are comforted by the knowledge that he spent his final hours in the happy company of his wife and
00:30:53youngest daughter.
00:30:54For it is as a devoted family man that we as a nation shall best remember him.
00:31:00They don't know.
00:31:03They don't know.
00:31:06Cigana, now man!
00:31:37Oh, that looks delicious.
00:31:39Welcome, Bert, ma'am.
00:31:40Let's go.
00:31:42Let's drive, shall we?
00:31:46Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:49Go.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:32:12Princess Elizabeth.
00:32:16The princess.
00:32:19Go.
00:32:38She's a ghost.
00:32:40There are no дуку.
00:32:40She's a ghost.
00:32:42Look.
00:32:44She's a ghost, a daughter.
00:32:46I'm a son.
00:32:47She's a ghost.
00:32:47And now all of us wanted to take her.
00:32:47There are no girls.
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:03Hmm?
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief felt amongst his people today stems from their
00:33:32respect.
00:33:32I don't know what happened.
00:33:34No, no, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, ma'am.
00:34:14Yes, ma'am.
00:34:32The King, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in his sleep.
00:34:40The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
00:35:11The BBC offers profound sympathy for her.
00:35:39your royal highness this stage of the embalming process it may distress you
00:36:14your royal highness
00:36:40my
00:36:41your son
00:37:26I'm going to send you away, but I won't let them. I'm going to tell my mother not to send
00:37:30you. I won't.
00:37:56I won't let you go.
00:38:00I won't let you go.
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress. We've called ahead to London and something will be brought
00:38:29onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:34And a word of warning, ma'am. A good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondence, mostly. Assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:51Should I say something?
00:38:53No, that won't be necessary. Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am. Your regnal name. That is the name you'll take as queen. Your father took George. Obviously his
00:39:13name is... was Albert. And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward. Of course, his name was David.
00:39:24What's wrong with my name? Nothing.
00:39:34Well then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily. My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:45Long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:13Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:25Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:28Salmon, salmon, salmon, salmon.
00:40:44This is a very good one.
00:40:46Salmon, salmon, salmon.
00:40:58Down.
00:41:28Down.
00:41:58Down.
00:42:28Down.
00:42:30Down.
00:42:38Down.
00:42:39I don't know.
00:43:37It's the middle of the night.
00:43:39I couldn't sleep.
00:43:40No one in the country couldn't sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears.
00:43:48But...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife.
00:43:52Mary.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:54She said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age.
00:44:04Your leadership.
00:44:06Your incapacity.
00:44:08And to ask him to bid you to stand down.
00:44:11Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:12The king would never engage in such a treachery.
00:44:15And Antony would never dare.
00:44:17I've been like a father to him.
00:44:20I've groomed him every step of the way.
00:44:27Well...
00:44:28Ignore me then.
00:44:31It's probably nothing.
00:44:34Come on.
00:44:35It's probably nothing.
00:44:37What are you up to?
00:44:39My eulogy for the king.
00:44:42It's broadcast tomorrow.
00:44:44The right words keep eluding me.
00:44:47They'll want you to fail, you know.
00:44:49I know.
00:44:51Anything less than perfect will be a disaster.
00:44:58Antony, eh?
00:45:09I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:15No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You're sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:50Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When we land.
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:21Morning.
00:46:22Morning.
00:46:23The M will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:25I'm very much tired from all the emotion of yesterday.
00:46:31So where is he?
00:46:32He's still asleep.
00:46:34So in his absence,
00:46:36as deputy,
00:46:38I will preside.
00:46:43The Queen's flight is...
00:46:45Wait a minute, Antony.
00:46:47If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM,
00:46:52shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55Well, I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:09Very well.
00:47:24Sir.
00:47:26Sir.
00:47:26The Queen's flight is now over Italy,
00:47:29having left the El Adem airfield in Libya
00:47:33at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:45May I just say how very sorry I am
00:47:48that we'll not be working together anymore?
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels.
00:47:56As private secretary to this offering,
00:47:59he's my senior.
00:48:01This is where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin.
00:48:07So sorry.
00:48:19What a nightmare.
00:48:22Jodris at least had one foot in the real world
00:48:26and was your man, our man,
00:48:29on our side.
00:48:32Mr. Tommy Lassels is stuck in the man that time for gold.
00:48:41You asked to see me, sir?
00:48:44I did.
00:48:47Will you sit?
00:48:49Thank you, sir.
00:48:52I'd assumed that following the death of his late majesty,
00:48:57you would, at the earliest appropriate moment,
00:49:01be resuming your duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen,
00:49:11the Queen Mother this morning,
00:49:13who then asked me, quite unusually,
00:49:16to ask you whether you might like
00:49:17to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:21She felt that you had enjoyed
00:49:22an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband
00:49:25and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:32In the light of this,
00:49:33she wondered whether you might consider
00:49:35staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller of the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:42A kind and generous offer,
00:49:43as befits the widow of a kind
00:49:48and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered,
00:49:53I don't expect you to accept the post.
00:49:55Hence my discouragement of the offer.
00:49:58I didn't want her majesty
00:49:59to suffer the embarrassment of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:04You're asking the wrong question, Townsend.
00:50:06Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero,
00:50:10still in your prime,
00:50:11controller of the Queen Mother's household.
00:50:13and has no military associations,
00:50:15would take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all, the person
00:50:19with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding
00:50:23is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy
00:50:36an uncommonly close understanding,
00:50:38which would make accepting this post
00:50:40more attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend.
00:50:48Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself
00:51:05that because no one has confronted you
00:51:07about it,
00:51:08that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you
00:51:12of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community
00:51:17of those that serve the family,
00:51:18may I regret to tell you
00:51:20that talk,
00:51:22ugly talk,
00:51:23unbecoming tittle-tattle,
00:51:24is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware
00:51:27of the toll
00:51:28that a round-the-clock service
00:51:30takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve.
00:51:33I am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings
00:51:37generated by continued
00:51:39close proximity
00:51:40to the people
00:51:40you're working for,
00:51:42but I would hate you
00:51:43to mistake those feelings
00:51:45for anything else.
00:51:58Will you thank the Queen Mother
00:51:59for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted
00:52:08to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush.
00:52:11Take your time
00:52:12to think it over.
00:52:1372 hours?
00:52:15A week?
00:52:17I want you to make
00:52:18the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir.
00:52:21The answer is yes.
00:52:55There's no rush.
00:52:57There's no rush.
00:53:00Impeccable timing.
00:53:06That's the one.
00:53:18Your Majesty, I've been asked to give you this,
00:53:22and this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Charterous.
00:53:32I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:50Martin.
00:54:11Dearest Lilibet, I know how you loved your papa, my son.
00:54:17And I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now for duty calls.
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide.
00:54:33Your people will need your strength and leadership.
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal indulgences from duty.
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes.
00:54:57And while you mourn your father, you must also mourn someone else.
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten.
00:55:07For she has now been replaced by another person.
00:55:10Elizabeth Regina.
00:55:16The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another.
00:55:23The fact is, the crown must win.
00:55:30Must always win.
00:55:37Ready, ma'am.
00:55:38It's all right.
00:55:39I'll escort it out from here.
00:55:41No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind, the crown takes precedence.
00:56:03The crown must win.
00:56:06It's all right.
00:56:09The crown must win.
00:56:14It's all right.
00:56:14It's all right.
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:16The crown must win.
00:56:22The crown must win.
00:56:23It's all right.
00:56:25I've got a lot of coins.
00:56:30There's a lot of coins.
00:56:31There, but there's nothing.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:40Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and
00:57:22somber note in our lives, which resounded far and wide, stilled the clatter and traffic
00:57:33of 20th century life, and made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look
00:57:47around them.
00:57:51The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:07Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother,
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle with a heart that never quavered and a spirit
00:58:42undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport, and after good night to those who loved him
00:59:09best, he fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to
00:59:23do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, did not pass her childhood
01:00:17in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:39I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era,
01:00:50may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the queen.
01:01:07God save the queen.
01:01:11Oh, my God.
01:01:53Oh, my God.
01:02:39Oh, my God.
01:02:40Oh, my God.
01:03:10Oh, my God.
