00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:29The Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:50Hanson 3742.
01:53Tommy.
03:41It's wonderful to be back amongst you.
03:45As you know, I went away to concentrate on my health.
03:51I'm now fully fit to resume my duties.
04:01Quiet, everyone.
04:02Sit down.
04:03Come on.
04:04Now, he's sent some notes to accompany the footage, so I'll read aloud.
04:15Hello, all of you.
04:16Hello.
04:18Hello, Daddy.
04:19Hello, Daddy.
04:20I can picture you all perfectly sitting there, wishing it was Creature from the Black Lagoon.
04:26But instead, this is just boring old me arriving at King George Island.
04:35Look!
04:37A hundred miles off the coast of Antarctica.
04:40There's your daddy.
04:41Is that Daddy?
04:43And nestled between the white bones of ancient Wales.
04:47Here we've made some new friends, and Mike was rather smitten.
04:51Oh, he's got a beard.
04:53Yes, yes, they're all grown beards.
04:55Makes them look a bit shifty.
04:57Oh, no, don't say that.
04:58Makes them look like an explorer.
05:05What's that?
05:05Oh, yes, this is very funny, Molly.
05:07We've even installed some signage so we can find our way home.
05:12Oh, Buckingham Palace.
05:14Oh, that's good.
05:15I like that.
05:16It's a bit of a commute to the office, though.
05:31Luckily, we found some friends for company, the British Hunting Aerosurvey Teams, who make excellent tennis companions.
05:39Oh, look, they're all playing tennis.
05:41Isn't that silly?
05:43What does that mean?
05:44Some things about huskies that you never knew.
05:47They have eyes of different colours.
05:49Oh, like the Kaiser.
05:51Oh, mommy.
05:53But most of all, they really, really like tennis balls.
05:58Yes, we can see that.
05:59And they have claws to ensure they don't slip on the ice.
06:02Oh, look, now he looks on one.
06:11Joining our family of animals are the penguins and seals,
06:16who send their love to you all.
06:18As do I.
06:21Your loving papa and husband.
06:27Philip.
06:48Good morning.
06:53Tommy.
06:56Your majesty.
06:57I thought you were supposed to be in happy retirement.
07:00I am, ma'am.
07:01Well, then what on earth are you doing here?
07:03Oh, dear.
07:05Either you miss the place more than you could bear, which would be...
07:07Tragic.
07:08Yes.
07:09Well, there's a serious problem and you've been called in to help.
07:12Just a routine matter with Colonel Adil.
07:15It's hardly routine if you send one of the royal cars.
07:19Well, in actual fact, that's my car.
07:21We gave you a car?
07:23You did, ma'am.
07:24As part of the farewell package.
07:26Well, not the driver too, surely.
07:27The driver too?
07:30Was that me?
07:31I believe so.
07:33Well, you've always held a very special place in all of our hearts, Tommy.
07:37Anyway, I must go.
07:39Windsor, ma'am?
07:40No, Sandrium.
07:42Michael's rearranged a few things to give me a couple of days off.
07:45Quite right.
07:57You did well to bring this to me, Michael.
08:01I've served three generations of the royal family, four monarchs, and a good many things
08:09to protect them, mostly from themselves.
08:12But this is the first time, Iceland-Durber, to save someone else's marriage in order to
08:19safeguard the crown.
08:21Not that we give a fig about the Parkers or their happiness, you understand?
08:25Not a fig, Tommy.
08:26Not a fig.
08:26Not a fig.
08:56Dear Philip, I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the film you sent.
09:03It was lovely to set eyes on you again, and the children were very impressed by the whales
09:09and penguins.
09:11You looked very handsome, I thought, in your wailing outfit, and a suit, too.
09:20And I could never forget what my grandmother said to me about being married to a man with
09:25this.
09:29She goes on, but actually, no, I'm not going to repeat that.
09:32Come on!
09:34Come on!
09:36Come on!
09:38Come on!
09:38Come on!
09:39Come on!
09:39Come on!
09:40I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome awaited Royal Highness of the King.
09:45Come on!
09:53Come on!
09:55Come on!
10:09Come on!
10:12Come on!
10:13Come on!
10:14Come on!
10:15Come on!
10:16Come on!
10:17Well, I must thank you for the way in which you've all carried on without.
10:24and for the manner in which
10:26Rab has very competently stood in for me in my absence.
10:30You've kept me informed of all the major decisions that had to be taken.
10:35In all these months, we have been a united government
10:40and we shall remain a united government.
10:44But we're not a united government, are we, Anthony?
10:47Anthony, the war you insisted on has left us as divided as Caesar and Pompey
10:53and the country in chaos.
10:55There is no petrol in the pumps. There are no tins on the shelves.
10:59Our allies are aligned against us.
11:01Our international reputation is in tatters.
11:04How adroitly your weathervane spins, Harold.
11:10You were for the war, as I remember.
11:14Only as long as it was legal.
11:21You liar!
11:27Liar!
11:29You wanted it every bit as much as I did!
11:37Torn-off masses, scalp with your own fingernails, given the chance.
11:42Taken the oil from that canal and set the Middle East ablaze!
11:46You've lost the trust of the people and of the party.
11:49It's the end of the road.
11:52The road?
11:53Would you willingly let me down?
12:01And would you abandon me?
12:05Here.
12:21All of you.
12:23All of you.
12:27Come now, Anthony.
12:30You know as well as I.
12:35There is no justice in politics.
12:37We will be in the middle of the box.
12:41I'm back there!
12:44I'm here, Lala!
12:45I'm here, Lala!
12:48Lala!
12:48Lala!

13:02Mrs. Parker.
13:05Lala!
13:05you here a retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London
13:13what are you reading may I ask tell me that it's romantic poetry military
13:18history the campaigns of Napoleon your son lieutenant commander Parker must be
13:27very proud he might be if he knew what the children look like he's away again
13:32on tour you have my sympathy I know for my own wife how difficult that can be being left alone
13:39with the children for days sometimes weeks on end well I'm sure that strong marriages find a way
13:46through it I'm afraid it's broken arse I am sad to hear that might I ask you to hold off
13:55on any
13:55instruction or public announcement just a little while longer as we both know the Duke of Edinburgh
14:01is performing important royal duties on this tour and we wouldn't want any story breaking in the
14:07newspapers that might undermine his efforts or impugn the royal marriage that's what you came here for
14:18isn't it this wasn't a coincidence at all you came here because you knew it's where I'd be
14:25and you wanted to put in a word on their behalf it's pathetic still they're round-the-clock lackey even
14:32in
14:54time
14:55sorry to disturb you ma'am I've just had a call from dining street the prime minister has requested an
15:01audience as a matter of
15:02urgency he's on the train will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:37enough
15:38enough
15:39enough

15:43enough
15:43enough
15:43enough
15:43enough
15:47enough
16:48Of course, I asked for second opinions. I asked for third opinions.
16:53I implored them to let me carry on.
16:56But I'm afraid the doctors were of one voice, one mind.
17:01And the time has come to put my health above the country and to offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No.
17:30But I...
17:33I think you thought it.
17:39I...
17:44I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed.
17:50And I was sorry to see you lie to the house when you told them that you had no prior
17:55knowledge of the Israelis' intentions.
17:59We both know that to be untrue.
18:02But wrong though it was, I did have sympathy for you.
18:10To have waited in the wings for so long.
18:13And to have supported a great man like Winston so...
18:18so patiently, so loyally.
18:22And then to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him.
18:29To do nothing is often the best course of action.
18:35But I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be.
18:42History was not made by those who did nothing.
18:49So I suppose it's only natural that ambitious men, driven men, want to go down in history.
18:58Or make history by going down.
19:29I do think the time has now come where we have no option but to tell Her Majesty about the
19:34Parker Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is, or isn't, in the matter,
19:42that newspapers will be newspapers, and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state of the royal marriage.
19:48Hmm.
19:52I sense trepidation, Michael.
19:55If you'd rather, I can always handle it myself.
19:58No, I'll take care of this.
20:00Try to find a moment on the train to mention a term, Her Majesty.
20:04Good luck, Michael.
20:13Sorry to disturb you, blam.
20:15The telegram arrived from Mount Salisbury,
20:17and the recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr. Macbetham.
20:23Of course.
20:31Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:32Ah, it's just to say, and we could, of course, discuss this on our return to the palace if Her
20:39Majesty prefers.
20:41No, do sit down, Michael.
20:48But it seems that Mrs. Parker, who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
20:59Um, she has decided to sue her husband for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
21:12Um, and that while, of course, there is no suggestion whatsoever of any impropriety on the part of His Royal
21:21Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,
21:22we should perhaps be bracing ourselves for one or two irritating headlines.
21:27Why?
21:28Whatever for?
21:30What is it that she's alleging?
21:33Cruelty, unlawful desertion, and, uh...
21:39It's your adultery, madam.
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary,
21:49a close friend, and there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club,
22:01bragging about exploits on the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:16I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:14I gather soundings have been taken,
23:16and that you have been chosen by your colleagues as the man most able to unite the government
23:21and lead this country following St. Anthony's resignation.
23:24Yes, ma'am.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Although I fear you have inherited something of a poisoned chalice.
23:35It's true.
23:36The storm is now raging against us.
23:41With Eden's War, we've discarded the moral advantage or any goodwill we once held,
23:48not to mention the dire economic situation.
23:52We'd have been quite ruinous.
23:54But it wasn't just Eden's War, was it?
23:59It was a war prosecuted by a government of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember that you were one of the loudest voices in support of the war in the
24:14beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part, I believe, in any mess.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:55Michael, could you ask them to send around one of the cars?
25:00WordPressMD.
25:00Go ahead.
25:01Move on.
25:04Okay.
25:17You're welcome.
25:23Please, sir.
25:24Please, sir.
25:25You're afraid of me.
25:26You're afraid of me.
25:53You're afraid of me.
26:03What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I told Baron to be discreet.
26:18But somehow the letter got back to Eileen.
26:20And now she has ridden to the palace.
26:22Yes.
26:26You've noticed her intention to sue me, Footforce.
26:33Which means you've got that you-know-who.
26:38Yes.
26:40Well, I think we have to assume so.
27:03Good morning.
27:04Good morning.
27:05Good morning.
27:13Good morning.
27:16Good morning.
27:22Good morning.
27:32I remember how we used to do this in Malta.
27:35Go grocery shopping together.
27:38Feels like a long time ago.
27:40Yes.
27:49The reason I came here today is...
27:54...because I heard, with great sadness, that there are difficulties in your marriage.
28:02And I would like to know if there's anything that I or anyone else can do to help.
28:07My marriage to Mike is beyond help.
28:11I see.
28:12Our separation has been inevitable for some time.
28:16I had intended to divorce Mike years ago, but because of the attention surrounding group Captain Townsend...
28:21...Princess Margaret...
28:23...I decided to hold back.
28:27But that was then.
28:28This is now.
28:32What's changed?
28:35Nothing has changed.
28:37That's the problem.
28:39It just got worse.
28:40And while some women may elect to put up with this sort of humiliation...
28:45...I simply have too much respect for myself and my children to bear it.
28:52I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
28:53I don't know what you're talking about.
29:09Let me read this.
29:18I don't know what you're talking about.
29:36Don't bury it, ma'am.
29:40Or sweep it away.
29:42It's there, in black and white.
29:54Might I ask you a...
29:55...favor?
29:58Would you hold off your announcement just while we work out what to do in...
30:01...in light of this?
30:03I've had enough of favors to you people.
30:07My entire adult life has been favors to you.
30:11You people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage...
30:15...to families and marriages in your service.
30:18I've instructed a solicitor.
30:20That's my decision.
30:29Gentlemen.
30:31I would like to make a brief statement on behalf of my client, Mrs. Eileen Parker.
30:39Having endured an unhappy marriage for some years now...
30:43...I have come to the sad conclusion that a formal separation is the best option for us both.
30:50My husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the responsibilities of parenthood or marriage...
30:58...and divorce remains the only solution.
31:08You expect friend that wants a brother!
31:39...we know nobody!
32:43I've had my own telegram from London.
32:51I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:08I'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:28I hereby offer my resignation.
33:34As Principal Private Secretary to the Duke of Edinburgh, active immediately.
33:40Accepted.
33:45You've worked for me for long enough.
33:46You know the rules.
33:48We are how it works.
33:51There is no room for mistakes.
33:54There is no room for scandal.
33:56There is no room for humanity.
34:01I think you should probably leave us in Gibraltar.
34:05Might I suggest a policy of no comment on all counts and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:39There is no room for me.
34:40There is no room for me.
34:41Mother Parker!
34:43Defy you, sir!
35:00Pick up!
35:02Pick up!
35:03Pick up!
35:09Following the resignation of Lieutenant Commander Parker,
35:13the British press have fallen into line and been overwhelmingly supportive.
35:17But?
35:18I'm afraid the foreign newspapers have not been so kind.
35:24Yesterday, a story broke in the Baltimore Sun.
35:28Where? Baltimore, Mummy.
35:30Claiming that the capital was awash with rumour that the Duke of Edinburgh was romantically involved with an unnamed woman
35:37whom he met on a regular basis in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:50Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:55The British press has caught on, with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59Not since the first rumours of a romance between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson
36:06have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:12Go on.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial, on its front page, reminds its readers that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the
36:21world
36:21because it is a family.
36:24Time magazine has a headline, Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:27It goes on to say, Not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace
36:33have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:01The Devil's Advocate might argue, and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:06that the Duke's early return, obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers
37:15and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:23And we don't want that.
37:26No.
37:33So what, then?
37:44What?
37:49Yes.
37:52The Admiral would like a word, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56I don't think he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact, he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:14You're welcome.
38:19I'm not.
38:24No, no.
38:26No, no.
38:26What do ya, sir?
38:27You, sir?
38:31You're welcome, sir?
38:33No.
38:33Do you, sir?
38:34No, no, no.
38:39Admiral, could you come in? Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch regarding your reunion photo call with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
40:06Ty.
40:11Not that one. One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deference.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat.
41:01Have a good place.
41:15Yes.
41:21Do it.
41:23Can I ask you this?
41:41.
41:41I'm sorry.
41:45.
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this.
43:57No.
47:26easier on you. To be in, not out. What will it take? You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking what it will take.
48:02All right. To make it work, to make it bearable, I'll need the respect and acknowledgement
48:13of the dreaded moustaches. Please stop calling them that. I'll stop calling them that when
48:18they don't all have one. An end to their snobbery and prejudice. No more being sniffed at for
