Short filmTranscript
00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:12It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:15It was all right.
02:17It would be a better way.
02:20It would be my best.
02:38Thank you, because...
03:07I love you.
03:13Your Majesty.
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you.
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements on what is essentially a private trip.
03:27And for flying this way, commercially.
03:30Well, it's not so bad.
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us.
03:35What's the first stop? New York?
03:37Uh, San Francisco, then Los Angeles.
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona.
03:43How lovely.
03:44Then on to New York, where Tony is promoting his book.
03:48You've written a book?
03:49A book of my photographs.
03:50Oh, you are clever.
03:52You must make time to really relax, too.
03:55We will.
03:56Be good to one another.
03:59Kind to one another.
04:01Basically.
04:06Said she felt the need to say that.
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another.
04:11Kind to one another.
04:12Basically.
04:13I was a little clumsy.
04:17But she means well.
04:20Two of us are complicated.
04:24She and I are complicated.
04:27It's true.
04:30Elder sister, younger sister.
04:32Number one and number two.
04:34Who's number one?
04:36You.
04:37Of course.
04:39A natural number one whose tragedy it is to have been born number two.
04:43Hmm.
04:45That is my button.
04:48She knows it, too.
04:51Yes, I think she does.
04:54That's her button.
04:55Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
04:57Welcome aboard this BOAC flight to San Francisco.
05:00Please take your seats and relax.
05:02We're now ready for departure, and we'll be taxiing shortly.
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight.
05:25Bye.
05:27Bye.
05:57Bye.
05:58Bye.
06:25Bye.
06:50Morning, Mr. Ambassador.
06:53Economically, as you know, Marvin, the United Kingdom is right up against it.
06:57We're seeing a terrifying run on sterling, and our credit from the IMF is about to expire.
07:03Now, the Prime Minister has made several attempts to speak to the President about another bailout.
07:08Rescue package.
07:10But the President refuses to take his call.
07:13President Johnson is a busy man.
07:16Too busy to talk to his oldest ally.
07:19Historically, the holder of this office has the warmest relationship with Downing Street.
07:24Think of Churchill and Roosevelt, or Truman and Antley, McMillan and JFK.
07:29No need to keep mentioning Jack Kennedy like that.
07:33Keep mentioning?
07:34It's just provocative.
07:37Unhelpful.
07:38President Johnson is his own man.
07:41Of course.
07:43I mentioned it only in the context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty.
07:49The United Kingdom and the United States.
07:54Historically, it's like a marriage.
07:57Will you talk to him?
08:01No, screw the Brits.
08:03I don't like them.
08:03I never liked them.
08:05They're not looking down at you through their noses.
08:06They're holding their hands out like beggars.
08:08And I don't give a crap about any special relationship.
08:11Harold Wilson wants my help.
08:12He should have thought about that when he refused to support me over Vietnam.
08:15You can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers.
08:24The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
08:26Your Majesty.
08:28Prime Minister.
08:41I'm sure that it did not escape your attention that President Johnson failed to attend Sue Winston's funeral.
08:48Yes, on account of a cold.
08:50Well, that was the explanation the White House gave, but it persuaded no one.
08:53Now, I fear that the President may have taken against me for what he sees as my failure to support
09:02him over Vietnam.
09:03And I wondered, in the past, the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat.
09:20And given the predicament the country finds itself in economically...
09:25You'd like us to roll out the red carpet?
09:27Make a bit of a fuss?
09:32Please.
09:34All right.
09:35I shall consult the three wise men.
09:37See what they have to say.
09:41Thank you, ma'am.
09:44Welcome to San Francisco!
09:45Margaret!
09:46Margaret!
09:47Over here!
09:48Over here!
09:49Right this way!
09:50Thank you, Margaret!
09:50What we have witnessed in Princess Margaret is a more vibrant, modern, and engaging version of her older sister.
10:00Quite right.
10:02To those accustomed, the formality of traditional royal visits meeting Princess Margaret has been like going from a black and
10:10white film to one in colour.
10:12What about a state dinner?
10:14Like the one held for Woodrow Wilson in 1918?
10:17Or a weekend at Windsor Castle?
10:19The important thing here, I'm told, is that whatever we offer President Johnson, it must exceed whatever we gave the
10:25Kennedys.
10:26When you're snuffling!
10:28Hey, we wanted to see the Queen!
10:31You're seeing something better than the Queen.
10:33What do you think is the main difference between Britain and America?
10:36Well, my sister isn't on the backboards here.
10:39What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:43What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:45But when you're crying, you bring all the rings, so stop your silence, be happy again, keep on smiling, cause
10:59when you're smiling, the whole world starts with you.
11:07You're smiling, darling.
11:09What news of Princess Margaret?
11:11Well, after three days in San Francisco, Her Royal Highness has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
11:16Any disasters I should be aware of?
11:18No, on the contrary, the trip seems to have been a great success.
11:22Really?
11:23Yes, rave reviews, all the newspapers.
11:26With even a name having been coined for the multitude of fans and well-wishers who have followed her every
11:31step of the way.
11:33Which is?
11:34Margaret-o-logists.
11:36Margaret-o-logists.
11:37Margaret-o-logists?
11:38Yes, ma'am.
11:39Fans who have delighted in Her Royal Highness' intelligence and articulacy, her beauty and charm, with one newspaper, the San
11:46Francisco Chronicle, even going so far as to-
11:48Yes, all right. Thank you, Martin.
11:49Yes, ma'am.
11:49Margaret-o-logists.
11:51Margaret-o-logists.
11:52Midori-o-logists.
12:03Margaret-o-logists.
12:18Vanessa-to-logists.
12:19I didn't see it. You know as well as I that if you are the guest of honor, you cannot
12:25just leave
12:28In the course of our marriage. I have lost count of the number of times you've walked out as guest
12:32of honor
12:33Once or twice all the bloody time when it's dreary when it suits you
12:39When the people are ugly and dull
12:49Maybe feel good. No, no, no, the alcohol made you feel good
12:55And
12:55Blunted your judgment to the sicker fancy of the people surrounding you. Is that right? Yes keys
13:02Well, sadly, it's not blunted my judgment to your mean
13:09spiritedness and
13:11jealousy and
13:12general
13:13Houston a lemon
13:14It's a laminate
13:14Houston a lemon
13:17Small-minded
13:20I
13:21Don't recognize this
13:24Hmm
13:24Come to think of it. I don't recognize you
13:29Actually
13:32No, did anyone else. I mean if we're honest
13:39Isn't that the real problem here?
13:41Hmm?
13:44Oh
13:45I'm sorry
13:46And you are
13:48Tony who?
13:50Oh, yeah, the husband guy
13:53It's not easy sometimes
13:57What is not easy?
14:00Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess
14:05Don't talk to me about being a second fiddle
14:08I get so little limelight
14:12No, it's the price I pay
14:14For the sister I have
14:16But if the opportunity should once arise for me to shine
14:20I'd appreciate you putting aside the competitive little narcissist that rages within you
14:30And letting me savor it
14:41I
14:41I promise
14:43That once we get to New York
14:47The spotlight will be entirely on you
14:50And your book
14:52I'll take a back seat
14:54I'll take a back seat
14:54And be the adoring and supportive number two
14:57You want me to be
15:00And nothing will make me happier
15:31Now you can tell me
15:33Questions, gentlemen
15:34Solutions
15:35Not more numbers
15:37By God, I will not be the first American president to lose a goddamn war
15:43That'll be all
15:45That'll be all
15:45Yes, sir, it's better
15:50Thank you
15:57What is this?
16:00A peace offering from the Brits
16:02Open to secure the bailout
16:06The weekend shooting at Balmoral?
16:09Yes, sir
16:10That's as good as it gets
16:12Even Kennedy never got that
16:15Really?
16:16He got a banquet
16:17Naval Guard of Honor
16:18But never a weekend shooting in Scotland
16:22No one has gotten that
16:27Hmm
16:32Still
16:35That's a long flight
16:37Followed by a long drive
16:40Stay in some creepy haunted castle
16:43The weather's terrible
16:47And it would involve making small talk to fancy people
16:52Then when you go shooting
16:54There's rules
16:55Things you do and don't do
16:58Which would involve researching
17:00Learning
17:02Cutting my nails
17:04And I'd still get it all wrong
17:07And then everybody would laugh at me
17:09And they'd say how I wouldn't know Jack Kennedy
17:11Who would know exactly which knife and fork to use
17:14And which bird to shoot
17:17So my position has not changed
17:19Hmm
17:20It is still no thank you, Your Majesty
17:25Tomorrow there's a reception given by the Council of Engineering Institutions at the Science Museum
17:29Followed by an audience with His Excellency Goodmund of Goodmans
17:34The new ambassador from the Republic of Iceland
17:37Thank you, Michael
17:38And where are we with President Johnson?
17:41Ah, we went back offering weekend shooting in Bon Morrill
17:45Did we?
17:46Lucky LBJ
17:48We don't get enough of those ourselves
17:50And?
17:50No response, ma'am
17:51What?
17:53Nothing
17:53Complete silence
17:55That's a first
17:56Yes
17:58Probably not what Downing Street was hoping for
18:00Is everyone panicking?
18:01Slightly
18:02What about Princess Margaret?
18:04I was safely arrived in Arizona, ma'am
18:06Oh, well that's something
18:07At the Douglas Family Ranch
18:09Yes
18:09I've never been
18:10What do we know about it?
18:12They say it's quite something
18:13A beautiful 19th century country house
18:15Set under the Santa Rita Mountains
18:17In miles and miles of wide open desert
18:21The Isabel
18:23Grenadeé©čØ
18:25People stop on theyz
18:45on
18:45understand We hope
18:47those different people
18:47Some wonder that are women
19:01Tony!
19:02Brace yourselves.
19:05Come along, darling.
19:11Your royal heinous.
19:13No blinking, no kissing.
19:15Jabs!
19:22Oh, I look hideous.
19:25No.
19:29Ghastly.
19:30You look a bit tired.
19:33A bit coldy.
19:35It's only to be expected after your...
19:39heroics.
19:41You hated every minute, didn't you?
19:44Maybe.
19:46That's irrelevant.
19:49The newspapers didn't.
19:52Page after page about how extraordinary you are.
19:57What an asset to the crown.
19:59How underused you are.
20:00What a secret weapon.
20:01How deserving you are of the spotlight.
20:03Your elder sister eclipsed and outshone.
20:06Darling.
20:07And now, you must sleep.
20:10What will you do?
20:12Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
20:16So rest.
20:17I will.
20:18And get well for New York.
20:21Oh.
20:35Mr. President, I just got off the phone with our ambassador in London.
20:38We just got off the phone with the prime minister.
20:40Just got off the phone with the queen.
20:41Don't tell me everybody's pissed.
20:44The general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister, that's one thing.
20:50But no one gets to insult the crown, sir.
20:52It's like treason or something.
20:55How have I insulted the crown?
20:57By not accepting the queen's invitation, sir.
20:59Well, I didn't refuse.
21:03Just have him reply.
21:06Well, now, don't you do this, Marvin.
21:09You're my chief of staff.
21:10You're supposed to have my back.
21:12Don't you get suckered into this.
21:13You know, they got this whole thing going on over there.
21:16Head of state, prime minister, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street.
21:20It's like a double leg, like tag team wrestling.
21:22One of them gets in trouble, the other jumps in to bail them out.
21:26Wilson screws me over Vietnam, and she jumps in to make it all good with some bursts.
21:31You bullshit.
21:32We don't have that here.
21:35Oh, sir.
21:38Buck stops with me.
21:40Who the hell am I supposed to call if I want to issue an invitation to get me out of
21:45trouble?
21:45Well, you call me, sir, your oldest friend.
21:48I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble.
21:51All right.
21:52Come up with a plan.
21:54Well, sir, I just did.
21:57This is the plan, right here.
22:00Who in God's name is that?
22:04They came to land at Oakland Airport, and here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered
22:10them everywhere they went.
22:11The princess was radiant, obviously enjoying herself.
22:15It wasn't long before her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion.
22:20The American people and their press have warmed to the couple, enchanted by the natural
22:25display of charm and friendliness.
22:27Prime Minister for you, ma'am.
22:31The princess and my heart said it was urgent.
22:35Prime Minister?
22:37Just to say, we've finally had a response from the Americans, ma'am.
22:43They've come back with an invitation of their own to dinner at the White House.
22:50For me?
22:51No, for Princess Margaret.
22:54Oh, that's cunning.
22:56Yes.
22:57That way, President Johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer.
23:00No.
23:02It also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout.
23:06Indeed.
23:07But we think not all is lost, that Princess Margaret should accept the invitation, go to
23:13the White House, and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause.
23:21It would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy.
23:26For which you want to send Princess Margaret?
23:29Yes, well, that had been my reaction.
23:32But her trip to America has been a terrific success.
23:36So I get her.
23:39So will you ask her.
23:44If those are my instructions.
23:48Please.
23:54Well, well.
23:55I suppose the situation is so dire, there's really nothing to lose.
24:00He doesn't know my sister.
24:01In the United States, ma'am.
24:10Hello.
24:15The Royal Highness?
24:17No.
24:18Telephone for you?
24:19No.
24:20It's the Queen.
24:36hello you hello you sorry to disturb i know you're on holiday so you don't want to hear this
24:45what we've had an invitation from the white house for you to go to washington and have dinner with
24:50the president and the first lady and we'd like you to attend when this wednesday ah can't why not
25:02i'm going to be in new york and tell his book launch
25:08perhaps i should make it clear there is rather a lot riding on it and everyone is keen very keen
25:14for you to go perhaps i should make it clear that nothing is going to stop me from supporting
25:20my husband just like you asked me to margaret
25:27so
25:31so
25:33so
25:35so
26:03dear margaret
26:06as a wife i understand your desire to support tony you know that it was my honest hope that on
26:12this
26:12trip you would both find the opportunity to be more courteous more encouraging to each other
26:18but for now such considerations must be put aside
26:23i have asked you this once as a sister and now i must command it as your queen
26:31your royal highness sir thank you so much for agreeing to this
26:37the most recent list of people attending the dinner with some brief biographies of those expected to
26:43what i'm asking you to do what i'm asking you to do amounts to much more than simply attending a
26:49dinner
26:53currently there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity that require a concerted effort on our part
27:02we must heal the divisions that are emerging between britain and its american cousins
27:08you've often lamented that you have nothing to do
27:11but you have nothing to do
27:12but you are a wasted resource
27:14well the task you are embarking on today could not be more crucial
27:18britain currently has a deficit of 800 million pounds what we need is a bailout of at least 1 000
27:28million
27:32only the americans can give it to us
27:38i know you like to do things your own way
27:41but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity
27:45and i would urge you for once
27:49to play things by the book
27:54what happens if i fail
27:56we don't get the bailout
27:59then we break our promises to the imf
28:02exhaust the credit facilities available to us
28:05face a run on sterling
28:08and the government would be left with no option but to devalue the pound
28:12and that's bad
28:14devaluation
28:15it's worse than bad
28:17it would relegate sterling to the second division of the world's currencies
28:20and britain to the third division of the world's economies
28:24it would mean international humiliation
28:27political ignominy and
28:31financial ruin
28:41president johnson
28:43president johnson
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:35I... I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02I'm sorry.
30:04Did I say something wrong?
30:05I do know these days one's not allowed to think anything other
30:10than what a great statesman Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:15Of course you'll say nothing.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most
30:21the frustrations and resentments that can build up
30:25from a life that's a number two.
30:28The support act.
30:31Even of someone you adore.
30:36You spent three years as Vice President.
30:39I've spent my whole life as Vice Queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a Vice Queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place to deal with the fallout?
30:51Oh, no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed.
30:56Thoroughly.
30:57Enthusiastically.
30:58Unreservedly.
30:59He said, um, if I remember rightly,
31:04Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother
31:06just to take the skin off her ass
31:08to make a drum to beat his own praises.
31:18Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them, I'm afraid to say,
31:37a little off-color.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:46Well, the first one went a little bit.
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware.
32:00Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits,
32:07she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president countered with,
32:16there was a young man from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed with an enormously large...
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone thought that was long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:34Princess Margaret won the evening with this one.
32:37There was a young lady from Dallas
32:39who used a dynamite stick as a phallus.
32:44They found her...
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina in North Carolina...
32:55And her arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:09Then, apparently, there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be, I can be.
33:39Greater, sooner, or later.
33:41I'm greater than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:50She finally snagged at home at four in the morning.
33:53Newly anglophile President Johnson
33:55having agreed to the bailout.
33:57The special relationship more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:02That's what I thought, you crook.
34:04And all because Margaret was all the things
34:07I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:12Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:16Yes, I am.
34:19You're all those things, too.
34:20No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two, I would pick dependability
34:29every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice to be dazzling on occasion, too.
34:36You are dazzling.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:42Anything you can say, I can say.
34:44Faster.
34:45I can say anything faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, you can't.
34:51Take it, take it, take it.
34:52Take it, take it.
34:53Thank you, sir.
35:23Kill it?
36:11Hail the conquering heroine.
36:13Ah, yes.
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now, any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of envy, spite,
36:22good-natured teasing to keep one's feet on the ground.
36:25Everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally.
36:30Oh, better than that.
36:31He met me at the airport.
36:33Ah.
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs and your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking in view of how well it
36:57all went.
36:59About us doing it more often.
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties.
37:08But we didn't share duties.
37:09You just went to a dinner party.
37:12In your place.
37:14And represented crown and country with, I think we can agree, favourable results.
37:24Isn't it possible that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do.
37:30Far too much pressure.
37:32Far too much responsibility.
37:34And I, too little.
37:36Having no role.
37:38Having nothing to do.
37:39Is soul-destroying.
37:45All I'm asking is if you were prepared to share a little more.
37:52For Bezar sakes.
38:02Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:11Don't tell me you've softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else by not having a more meaningful role.
38:22Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability and character and intelligence and flair, she does not deserve to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider expending the role, sharing the job a bit more?
38:37Well, there are two answers to that question.
38:41Neither makes for pretty listening.
38:46Yes, the system is unequal.
38:49Unjust and cruel.
38:51And primogeniture divides and destroys families.
38:55The system stinks.
38:55But in its cruelty and injustice, it reflects something else which is harsh and brutal.
39:03Which no one is suggesting we rearrange.
39:06Life.
39:09We all desire equality, but here's the thing.
39:14We were not born equal.
39:18And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once I got drunk with that god-awful monster Tommy Lassells?
39:26Well, that night, he shared with me his theory about the House of Windsor.
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since.
39:35Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine a mythological creature.
39:44A rice-addler.
39:46A polycephalus.
39:48A two-headed eagle.
39:50For the purposes of this conversation, I want you to think of it as representing us.
39:55This family.
39:58Your family.
40:00And there have always been the dazzling Windsors and the dull ones.
40:04Your father.
40:06A saint.
40:07But dull.
40:09Sorry.
40:11Your grandfather too.
40:13George V?
40:14Deadly dull.
40:16At the height of the Great War, when the Tsar and the Kaiser and the Emperor of Austria were dazzling
40:23the world, where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album.
40:27His wife.
40:28Queen Mary?
40:29Wonderful.
40:29Ditchwater.
40:30And so it goes, through George V to Queen Victoria and back.
40:35An uninterrupted line of stolid, turgid drearings.
40:40Culminating in me.
40:41Yes, but alongside that dull, dutiful, reliable, heroic strain, runs another.
40:52The dazzling, the brilliant, the individualistic and the dangerous.
40:59And so, for every Victoria, you get an Edward VII.
41:04For every George V, you get a Prince Eddie.
41:07For every George VI, you get an Edward VIII.
41:12For every Lilibet, you get a Margaret.
41:17And she may have had a success in Washington.
41:20But let's not delude ourselves that serious diplomacy can be achieved through drinking and dancing.
41:26Let Margaret have the glory.
41:28But let's not rewrite the constitutional rule book because she got lucky once.
41:33And where does that leave my relationship with her?
41:35Unchanged.
41:37You're the Queen.
41:39And she's your dangerous baby sister.
41:45She's outside.
41:46She knows we're talking about her.
41:48Then let's join her.
41:50That feverish mind of hers needs no encouragement.
42:20They're ready for it.
42:32What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701,
42:40not the wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:52Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne. Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the
43:07rulebook so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play. Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from
43:18the wings.
43:26Oh, God.
43:42Margaret.
43:44All right.
44:21All right.
44:52All right.
45:36All right.
46:10All right.
46:28All right.
46:39All right.
46:41All right.
47:21All right.
47:24All right.
47:26All right.
47:28All right.
47:28All right.
47:32All right.
47:32All right.
47:36All right.
47:37All right.
47:38All right.
47:38All right.
47:39All right.
47:39All right.
