00:00You
00:34Ah, there you are. Come in. I'm practicing for the big day tomorrow and, um, I need an archbishop.
00:51Will you do me the honor from here?
01:00Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
01:05I am... willing.
01:11Will you maintain and preserve in... invi...
01:22Ah, inviolably. It means to make a promise you can... you can never break. A very sacred promise indeed.
01:37Yes!
01:40We're ready for you, sir.
01:42Oh, not yet, Tommy.
01:45We haven't even reached the anointing.
01:49You have to anoint me.
01:51Otherwise, I can't...
01:56Be king.
01:59Do you understand?
02:03When the holy oil touches me,
02:07I am...
02:09I am transformed.
02:13Brought into direct contact with the divine.
02:22Forever changed.
02:27Bound to God.
02:30It is the most important part of the entire ceremony.
02:36So we had better practice, hadn't we, Archbishop?
02:45Be thy hands anointed with holy oil.
02:55Be thy breast anointed with holy oil.
03:11As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:12Be thy head anointed with holy oil.
03:17As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:26Oh, goodness.
03:35That's very heavy indeed.
03:37Five pounds, sir.
03:39Not to mention the, uh, symbolic weight.
03:43Hmm?
03:45Mm-hm.
03:47Mm-hm.
03:48Mm-hm.

04:40Mm-hm.
04:41Mm-hm.
04:43Mm-hm.
04:43It's not as easy as it looks.
04:47It's exactly what the king said.
04:51I remember.
04:56Do you suppose I could borrow it for a couple of days?
05:00Just to practice?
05:03Borrow it, ma'am?
05:05From whom?
05:07If it's not yours, whose is it?
05:42If it's not yours, whose is it?
06:12If it's not yours, whose is it?
06:19If it's not yours, whose is it?
06:46If it's not yours, whose is it?
06:54Close your eyes, and don't open them until I say so.
07:06Oh, any idea where the Duke is?
07:08His Royal Highness went flying, ma'am.
07:10Howdy?
07:11Again.
07:18So when's the big day?
07:21Yes, sir.
07:22Pilot's exam.
07:23Two weeks.
07:25Are you still on track for the record?
07:26I am.
07:27Just.
07:28If I do nothing else.
07:30Oh.
07:31Then you'll hate me.
07:33Why?
07:34There is something I wanted you to help me with.
07:36It would have to be jolly important to distract me from getting my wings faster than anyone in British aviation
07:40history.
07:41It is.
07:43I'd like you to come aboard my coronation committee.
07:48In which capacity?
07:50As chairman.
07:52You already have one.
07:54Bernard.
07:56I'd ask the Duke of Norfolk to make room for you.
07:59I want to make a public declaration of my trust in you.
08:02There's no need to matronize me.
08:04I'm not matronizing you.
08:06Yes, you are.
08:06You're taking pity on me and giving me a job for appearance's sake.
08:10No, it's not that.
08:11I was just thinking how I'd like us to spend more time together.
08:14What are you talking about?
08:15We spend all our time together.
08:17No, we don't.
08:18You're always off flying or lunching with strange men.
08:21A few hours a week, darling.
08:23Anyway, what else am I supposed to do?
08:24Sit around and wait for you while you're queening?
08:27Queening?
08:27Yes, queening.
08:29Maybe I'd like your help with the queening.
08:31Oh, in the same flattering way you asked me to redecorate Clarence's house.
08:35Well, you did that jolly well.
08:36I felt like a sissy.
08:38Fussing about curtain fabrics and paint charts.
08:40Honestly, it's just queening of another sort.
08:53What would it entail?
08:56Well, the Duke of Norfolk will run the show from an organizational perspective.
09:02Look after the seating, the route of the procession.
09:04But as chairman of the committee, you'd have name-button ideas.
09:08Inspire everyone.
09:09Lead them.
09:10They won't listen to me.
09:12The grey old men, the men with moustaches.
09:14They hate me.
09:20They do not hate you.
09:21They do.
09:23They treat me as an outsider.
09:25In irrelevance.
09:28Everyone does.
09:46total control or nothing at all those are my turns
10:00but don't go mad what does that mean it means just don't go mad

18:20thank you very much
18:40my dearest darling one
18:44london is as awful and hellish
18:47and as full of my smug
18:49stinking relations as ever

19:03far less go out in public
19:23what?
19:27yeah girl
19:32i'm going anywhere mommy
19:39it's one of the hardest things i've ever had to endure and spending so much time with a woman
19:45who has been so vicious and inhumane to you my beloved is wearing me down amen
19:59sorry to disturb you your royal highness what is it the archbishop of canterbury's private
20:05secretary called sir requesting a meeting between you and his grace oh what about it didn't say sir

20:42thank you good night your royal highness
21:00oh
21:02oh
21:22is royal highness the duke of windsor your grace
21:27goodness what is this an ambush not at all sir you're not just a gathering of old
21:34friends who come together to appeal to you in person in the hope that you will do what we
21:42we all think would be
21:47the right thing
21:51regarding what
21:52the coronation
21:57what about the coronation
22:03we acknowledge sir
22:05as a
22:08as a member of the queen's close family you are entitled to attend
22:14but
22:15also feel that the
22:17attendance at this sacred
22:20ceremony
22:21by one who however good his reasons did not feel capable of undertaking the obligations himself
22:34well
22:35it could
22:37strike a wrong note
22:39and would be deeply upsetting
22:42to whom
22:44to everyone concerned
22:45i didn't ask you tommy
22:48this is cookies work isn't it
22:50the queen mother's
22:52it's got her
22:54pudgy little fingers all over it
22:56she asked you to do her dirty work for her and you agreed archbishop shame on you i will attend
23:02if i want and i do want and so does my wife
23:05alas no sir
23:08of course the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you as a royal duke but that obligation
23:15does not extend to the duchess of windsor
23:17and it is my duty to inform you on behalf of the royal family and the government with whom we
23:23have worked in close consultation that she will not be offered an invitation
23:30oh it's madness
23:35the pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits
23:39seventeen years have elapsed since the abdication
23:46shouldn't bygones be bygones
23:49some things can never be forgotten
23:50which of us for example has forgotten the song
23:54you would compare the love and public commitment i made to my wife to slaughter in a world war
24:20why not use a celebration such as this
24:27the investiture of a new sovereign a beautiful young child symbol of maternity change and progress to turn a page
24:38surely the sophistication of a society can be measured by its tolerance and ability to forgive
24:44its weakness too
24:45sometimes lines just need to be drawn
24:49you know tommy you're an embarrassment to the institution you serve and to the country that institution serves in turn
24:57and i will take a lecture on national embarrassment from many people sir but not from you
25:04let's face it
25:06this whole thing is a charade
25:07you knew already the answer to the choice you have given me it is simply the same as the choice
25:13that caused all this offense in the first place
25:15namely would i do anything that excludes or disrespects the woman i love no never
25:21i will therefore not be attending the coronation of my own niece
25:26whose favorite uncle i have always been
25:29hers you should know was one of the strongest voices involved
25:32oh was it indeed
25:34well we know from where she gets that ice in her veins
25:37and it wasn't from my own dear weak brother
25:40nothing weak about the late king sir
25:42i'm sure i speak for everyone present when i call him a hero
25:47hear hear
25:51my lord archbishop
25:54what a scold you are
25:56and when your man is down how very bold you are
26:00of christian charity how very scant you are you old lang swine
26:08how full of cant you are
26:11a rhyme composed for your perfidious predecessor at the time of my abdication
26:17i find the sentiment oddly applicable to you too
26:22two
26:38if i were to release a statement
26:41could you have a look over it
26:43of course sir
26:48i'm aware that it's normal for no reigning monarchs to be present
26:52but a coronation
26:55perhaps we could extend that to include former kings too
27:00to spare my blushes
27:02might just
27:03throw some of the vultures off the scent
27:10it's an elegant solution sir
27:12and i'm quite sure cabinet will support it
27:15tommy
27:18i'll speak to their magistrates and get back to you
27:30we've just had a call from mulbrach
27:33regarding her majesty queen mary
27:42my own darling sweetheart
27:46well at last it's all over
27:49mama took ill in the afternoon
27:52then began hemorrhaging in the early hours
27:56doctors plied her with tranquilizers and morphine
27:59to ensure there was no suffering
28:01in the end she passed in her sleep
28:05i was sad of course
28:07but let's not forget
28:08how she clung to such hatred for me
28:11her eldest
28:12till the last
28:15i'm afraid her blood ran as icy cold when she was alive
28:19as it does now she's dead
28:24later in the day
28:25all the members of the family assembled
28:27to identify which of her personal possessions
28:30they were most liked
28:31not entirely
28:32i told shirley temple what i had my eye on
28:36thank you
28:37but as i shan be there when the jackals descend
28:39i don't suppose it would do much good
28:43what a vile tawdry rabble my relatives are
28:47and what a sad desiccated bunch of hyenas
28:51most of them have become
28:55but i'm tired of talking about it
28:59i yearn for our perfect life together
29:02away from the snarling and the sniping of the court
29:07i adore you my sweetheart
29:10more deeply than you will ever realize
29:13and i am furiously mad that you aren't here with me
29:16as you ought by right to be
29:23while queen mary lived something of the great reigns of queen victoria
29:29and george v seemed to live on with her
29:35proving that character is as it will remain
29:41the essential strength of british monarchy
29:45wherever she went
29:47she was assured of an applause
29:50which sprang from some
29:52deep-seated affection
29:56you noticed
29:57identical to the funeral of your father
30:01nothing different nor on detail
30:02but one guest
30:04like
30:06and she always regarded herself
30:10as a servant of our country
30:13which she served
30:14to the end
30:17no sooner does someone in the family of potlick clogs
30:20they ask themselves right
30:21how's it done last time
30:22and it's done exactly the same way again
30:28the people who have come to shame in it are locked outside
30:33well i'm not going to let your coronation be like this
30:36you're a young woman
30:36simply of a new era
30:39in a fast-changing
30:42modern world
30:46and i think your coronation should reflect that
30:50for as much as it have pleased almighty god of his great mercy
31:06earth to earth
31:07earth to earth
31:07ashes to ashes
31:10dust to dust
31:13ensure that so to cope with the resurrection of the eternal life
31:19the rest of the day
31:19through all the work of Jesus Christ
31:22to change his number of fire
31:24in the body
31:24if they had been invited
31:25and all his history
31:26all his history
31:28warning all of his
31:30warning all of his
31:34that's what's happening
31:35ladies and gentlemen
31:42what's
31:42Thanks, Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
32:02We should go.
32:18Good morning.
32:25What is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old toenails?
32:33A herd pack?
32:37A school?
32:46Good morning.
33:05Gentlemen.
33:08I'd like to start by saying how very honoured I feel to be working with all the great minds and
33:14talents here in this room today as we come together to organise the very best coronation for my wife, Queen.
33:24We all know the scale of the challenge that faces us.
33:28The eyes of the world will be on us, Britain will be on show, and we must put our best
33:34foot forward.
33:37In such circumstances, the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent set by the grand
33:44and successful coronations of the past.
33:48But looking to the past for our inspiration would be a mistake, in my view.
33:56Britain today is not the Britain of past coronations.
33:59Assumptions made at the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made any more.
34:07That is why I think we should adapt this ceremony.
34:13Make it less ostentatious, more egalitarian, show more respect and sensitivity to the real world.
34:21We have a new sovereign, young and a woman.
34:24Let us give her a coronation that is befitting of the wind of change that she represents modern and forward
34:34-looking at a moment in time where exciting technological developments are making things possible we never dreamt of.
34:41Which brings me to my next point.
34:56It's an unconscionable vulgarisation.
35:05How close are you proposing that these cameras get them?
35:08They will be kept at a very discreet distance.
35:11No, no, close up, son.
35:17Zoom. Lenses.
35:18Oh no, it will all be done with the greatest sensitivity and respect for the occasion.
35:34But, I have had one or two broader thoughts about the service itself.
35:43What?
35:59We can both see what's going on here.
36:02A young couple are playing marital games with the most cherished parts of our history and pageantry.
36:08Our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these radical proposals.
36:13Television being just the tip of the iceberg.
36:19She's simply trying to keep peace in her own bedchamber.
36:22By promoting her husband, keeping him happy and occupied and virile.
36:30That's what's going on here, Winston.
36:32Why? What else has he proposed?
36:40Prime Minister.
36:41Prime Minister.
36:43Prime Minister.
36:44Prime Minister.
37:02Please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband.
37:05I told him not to go mad
37:10No one is questioning the Duke of Edinburgh's motives
37:14Or the sincerity of his beliefs
37:17I see
37:17He went mad
37:20The changes he is proposing
37:23To an ancient, sacred, never previously changed liturgy and text
37:32If it went from top to toe
37:36And if it were just a business
37:38It would be applauded
37:40But this isn't a business
37:41It's the crown
37:45And one has to ask oneself
37:47What is the purpose of the crown?
37:50What is the purpose of the monarchy?
37:54Does the crown bend to the will of the people
37:56To be audited and accountable?
37:58Or should it remain above temporal matters?
38:08What say you?
38:13No, ma'am
38:15What say you?
38:19The decision is yours to make
38:21We will take our lead from you
38:39I'll talk to you
38:42I'll talk to you
38:53I'll talk to you
39:09I'm sorry I'm going to provide me available for free-mounted investors.
39:27What is this? Hide and seek.
39:29I told you not to overstep the mark.
39:31And I made it clear. Can't planch or nothing at all.
39:33Trade unionists and businessmen in the Abbey.
39:36If you want to stay on the throne, yes.
39:38In a trim-down televised coronation.
39:40If you want to avoid a revolution, yes, you forget.
39:43I have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown because they're out of step
39:48with the people.
39:49I left Greece in an orange crate.
39:51My father would have been killed.
39:52My grandfather was.
39:53I'm just trying to protect you.
39:55From whom? The British people.
39:57You have no idea who they are or what they want.
40:00Oh, oh, I'm just Johnny Foreigner again who doesn't understand.
40:03Fine, fine.
40:04You want a big overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of the country is on rations?
40:09Have it.
40:10But don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of our children are on spikes.
40:15If the people are hungry, they want something that lifts them up.
40:18And how do you propose lifting them if they cannot see it?
40:23The people look to the monarchy for something bigger than themselves, an inspiration, a higher ideal.
40:28If you put it in their homes, allow them to watch it with their dinner on.
40:31If not, democratize it.
40:34Make them feel that they share in it.
40:36Understand it.
40:36All right.
40:39All right.
40:40I'll support you in the terrorizing.
40:46You won't regret it.
40:48On one condition.
40:53That you kneel.
41:07Who told you?
41:09My Prime Minister.
41:12He said you intended to refuge.
41:14No, I merely asked the question whether it was right in this day and age that the Queen's consort, her
41:18husband, should kneel to her rather than stand beside her.
41:23He won't be kneeling to me.
41:25That's not how it will look.
41:26That's not how it will feel.
41:27It will feel like a eunuch.
41:29An amoeba is kneeling before his wife.
41:31He'll be kneeling before God and the crown, as we all do.
41:34I don't see you kneeling before anyone.
41:35I'm not kneeling because I'm already flattened under the weight of this thing.
41:38Oh, spare me the false humility.
41:40Doesn't look like that to me.
41:41How does it look to you?
41:42Looks to me like you're enjoying it.
41:43It's released an unattractive sense of authority and entitlement that I have never seen before.
41:48And in you, it's released a weakness, an insecurity I've never seen before.
41:51Are you my wife or my Queen?
41:53I'm both.
41:54I want to be married to my wife.
41:56I am both, and a strong man will be able to kneel to both.
41:59I will not kneel before my wife.
42:00But your wife is not asking you to.
42:02But my Queen commands me.
42:03Yes.
42:03I beg you, make an exception for me.
42:10No.
43:02Come on, they'll be here soon.
43:08David, you're our host, darling.
43:14You're right there.
43:36All right, everyone.
43:38She's arriving.
43:40The dreaded gold stake coach.
43:44Made in the 1760s, and the most uncomfortable ride known to man.
43:56Final checks, please, gentlemen.
43:58All right, gentlemen.
43:58West door.
44:00West door, sir.
44:02Triforium.
44:03Triforium, standing by, sir.
44:05South transept.
44:06South transept, standing by, sir.
44:08Organ screen.
44:09Organ screen, standing by, sir.
44:10Triforium two.
44:12Triforium two, standing by, sir.
44:14Gentlemen.
44:16Three, two, one.
44:43Who's that?
44:48Oh, it's Lord Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle.
44:53The man that gave away India and his own wife.
44:59Uncle de Pineru, if you please.
45:11Five, four, two.
45:13And left, please.
45:15Left.
45:33Praise forth, tell.
45:37Come ye before him and rejoice.
45:54Moving forwards now, four Knights of the Garter, the Dukes of Wellington and Portland,
46:00the Earl Fortescue and the Bicount Allende, bringing with them a golden canopy to shield
46:05Her Majesty from view during the most sacred of the coronation rituals, the Anointing.
46:11In three, two, one...
46:22Where'd she go?
46:26And now we come to the Anointing.
46:31The single most holy, most solemn, most sacred moment.
46:38The entire service.
46:43So how come we don't get to see it?
46:47Because we are mortals.
47:19Is your Majesty willing to take the oath?
47:22I am willing.
47:28Will you maintain and preserve this?
47:41Invariably.
47:46I will.
48:13I will.
48:16I anointed with holy oil.
48:36With thy breast,
48:38I anointed with holy oil.
48:48With thy head anointed with holy oil.
49:01As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed,
49:09and as Solomon was anointed king by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet,
49:25so be thou anointed,
49:30blessed,
49:32and consecrated queen over the peoples,
49:36whom the Lord thy God
49:39hath given thee to rule and govern
49:47in the name of the Father,
49:49and of the Son,
49:51and of the Holy Ghost.
49:57Amen.
50:00Amen.
50:13Oils and oaths,
50:16orbs and scepters,
50:19symbol upon symbol,
50:22an unfathomable web of arcane mystery and liturgy,
50:29blurring so many lines,
50:30no clergyman,
50:33or historian,
50:34or lawyer
50:36could ever untangle any of it.
50:39It's crazy.
50:40On the contrary,
50:42it's perfectly sane.
50:43Who wants transparency
50:46when you can have magic?
50:49Who wants prose
50:51when you can have poetry?
50:54Pull away the veil,
50:56and what are you left with?
50:59An ordinary young woman
51:01of modest stability
51:03and little imagination.
51:07Wrap her up like this,
51:09anoint her with oil,
51:11and hey presto,
51:14what do you have?
51:18A goddess.

52:20CHOIR SINGS
52:26I turned it down for something greater still.
52:39For love.
52:52For love.
53:34I have Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to become your liege man of life and limb and of earthly
53:42worship.
53:43Faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of folks, so help
53:50me God.
53:53Amen.
53:54Amen.
54:20They adore me and than their host.
