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.
04:19I do apologise, Mamma.
04:24I am so sorry you got my hands, it's up.
04:26Thank you, mamma.
04:30I do apologise for all of you.
04:36Yes.
04:40Thanks, Mamma.
04:41Thanks, Mamma.
04:42Thanks, Mamma.
04:46I had a call from the Sunday Times today, sir,
04:49regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy,
04:52and it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen, again and again,
04:56the same words came up.
04:58Irrelevant, old, expensive, out of touch.
05:02Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir.
05:04Really?
05:06Should I cover my ears?
05:08No, on the contrary.
05:08They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic.
05:15And when asked, almost half believe you would make an excellent king
05:18and would support an early application by the Queen in your favour.
05:25This story is running when?
05:28Sunday week, sir.
05:30When I'll be in Italy with the family.
05:32Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal.
05:35As you know, a big part of your appeal as future king
05:38is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen.
05:41Yes.
05:42So we've taken the liberty of briefing one or two friendly newspapers
05:45that it's a second honeymoon.
05:51Right.
06:08That's what they said.
06:10Those are the words they used.
06:12Second honeymoon.
06:15Second honeymoon.
06:16Second honeymoon.
06:23Second seguiment.
06:44Third honeymoon.
09:15I just wanted to say how happy I am that we're doing this.
09:17Let's go.
10:08What do you think, Michelle?
10:10Give them some of the old magic.
10:11Well, come on then.
10:12Let's blow them away.
10:45Come on, come on.
10:49So, the route I propose that we take is from Naples to Ischia, where Garibaldi spent some
10:58time recuperating after being injured in the Italian Wars of Independence, am I right?
11:03Yes, sir.
11:04Then on to Capri to see the ruins of the magnificent Villa Jovis, then down the Amalfi Coast, on
11:11to Sicily, with a final stop in Olbia on Sardinia for a private view of the Museo Archeologico
11:17there.
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
11:53hordes of people indulging in retailers' recreation.
11:59Me, I want to go shopping.
12:02Me too.
12:10Then we'll go shopping.
12:21Thanks for sticking up for me.
12:24I was brave.
12:28A special treat you get to choose between a bedtime story or...
12:32Super Mario!
12:33Don't tell your father.
12:36Are you going back upstairs now?
12:39God, no.
12:40Off to read the classics.
12:43An early night.
12:44Love you.
12:45I love you, Mummy.
12:46I love you too, my darlings.
12:48I 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.
13:28There 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.
14:36It is clear that intermodal containers are Lancashire's ticket to a bright future.
15:05How 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?
16:17A replacement.
16:20Built in A.D. 27 by Tiberius?
16:26Exactly.
16:27Wow.
16:27The most magnificent of world imperial residences here in Capri.
16:34Some people say that Tiberius escaped to Capri 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?
18:09Did I?
18:16So the 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.
18:33Yes, 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.
18:53Do 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.
19:18Yes.
19:20I'll leave you to it.
19:25It's running tomorrow.
19:27I've managed to gain advanced 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, I'm all right.
20:08Welcome aboard, Your Royal Highness.

22:24she never stops she never complains she never puts a foot wrong she's utterly magnificent and
22:30they print rubbish like this looks like more rain on the way

22:48i'll look into it ma'am
22:49when you find it 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 radio and television with one particular phrase getting most attention queen victoria
23:17syndrome yes i saw that
23:23an aging monarch too long on the throne whose remoteness from the modern world has led people
23:29to grow tired not just of her but of the monarchy itself
23:36any reaction from the queen my understanding is she hasn't seen it they've kept it from her to
23:42protect 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
23:57you'll think of a suitable pretext
24:06look it's a whale where
24:11oh good spot
24:15no look at the way it's surfacing it's a minky
24:18probably smell it before we see it again if we get any closer
24:22their blow smells of rotten cabbages
24:24a stinky minky
24:32oh there she is
24:35bladder
24:38there
24:41oh yes
24:44It's like a bulrush out of a pond.
24:48Don't you see a 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?
24:59Really? Must we?
25:01Come on.
25:02A bit of exercise is good for the figure.
25:03At our age, the weight does not stay off by itself.
25:06Come on.
25:07No.
25:13No.
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?
26:14Reliable.
26:16Sensible.
26:17Agreeable.
26:18Hmm.
26:20I think we ought to get back to lighthouses.
26:25Those beacons of light.
26:27In an otherwise black and hopeless night.
26:30That reassure the lonely Mariner they are not forgotten.
26:34And we'll soon find land and home.
26:38And hope.
26:56It appears that there has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday.
27:01Clash of barriers, I understand.
27:03Yes, Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at the university.
27:06Shut up.
27:06Shut up.
27:07There won't be any sharks.
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a, a diary conflict through no fault of mine and I have to get back.
27:20You're supposed to be here for two weeks.
27:21Yes, I know.
27:22But 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 with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing, which is why I agreed to you bringing your friends
27:46along to entertain you.
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today, requested by your people so the lie could be paraded
27:52to the world's media about what an adoring husband you are on one condition.
27:55What's that?
27:56That you actually are one.
27:57I don't know.
27:59What's the matter with me?
28:01I don't know.
28:02I don't know.
28:04I don't know.
28:07I don't know.
28:20I don't know.
28:32I don't know.
29:35...tens of thousands of British families. Repossessions are now at record levels. In the first half of this year, 36
29:42,600 homes were taken over by building societies.
29:53I think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the war, and it has struck
29:59right across the economy. It's certainly been a very difficult year.
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:11Prime Minister.
30:13Your 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. The 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.
31:25Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton, a multicultural, working-class part of London, one might have expected you
31:32either to have concealed your past in order to fit in with the Tories, or to have a more
31:37socialist viewpoint and become a rising star in the Labour Party.
31:40I've never felt that because of my background, I should not be a Conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:45You 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.
33:03Sure, many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever, but what makes the Conservative Party
33:08the 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.
33:38He longed to be given responsibilities, but his mother refused.
33:44Even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came, he proved his doubters wrong, and his dynamism, his intellect,
33:56his popular appeal made his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying, what a pity it was.
34:06What a waste.
34:08That his voice, his 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.
35:02And now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations.
35:47Let's go.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, there never disappoints me here.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:04Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We have, and I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
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?
36:22Yes.
36:36You 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.
36:46What 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.
37:32Come on, Elton.
37:35Come on, Elton.
37:36Elton.
37:52Hold on, that's good.
38:22Good job.
38:44Good job.
39:07Good job.

44:13Good job.
44:15Good job.
44:17Good job.
44:20Good job.
45:27Our Majesty, the Queen.
45:43Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:45The honour would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:54You do me the honour, Prime Minister.
45:55I do.
45:56The main thing for him is massive.
45:59Here we go.
46:03I love it.
46:18But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the Royal York to a cost-benefit equation.
46:25It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience.
46:31But I would argue a minor one.
46:34Next to the yacht's enduring role as a national symbol.
46:37And her importance to the Queen, personally.
46:42Boys, pay good night to Mr. Major.
46:45Good night, sir.
46:46Good night, sir.
46:47Good night, sir.
46:48Good night, sir.
46:53Good night, sir.
47:06Good night, sir.
47:09I've got some local history for you if you're interested.
47:12of course queen victoria held the first gillies ball in 1852 and there's been one every year since
47:21i see it began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants and has since developed into
47:31something of a saturnalia if you know your classics
47:37but the rules are turned upside down for a day masters serving slaves and all disciplinary
47:43measures suspended for the night
47:45i was just telling the prime minister that these things can get quite giddy not that i ever witness
48:03any of it i'm afraid the real fun only starts when i go to bed can i count on you
48:08for a full report
48:08in the morning you can your majesty good night can you slip away our 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
48:47sir the uh the refit to britannia that is what she asked you for sir
48:56sometimes these old things are they're too costly to keep repairing
49:05i'll leave you with that thought
49:09should we call it a night i can't not yet you 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 but you just had a lovely family holiday you and the prince
49:27of
49:27wears looks so happy
49:31you can judge the health of the family by the state of the marriages for binet
49:36and look ann and mark look at andrew and sarah charles 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 and then
50:05i think
50:18what'd you be
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with as Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs,
50:46the economy and free fall,
50:49going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57But the 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,
51:19feckless, entitled, and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales,
51:26impatient 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.
