00:10To Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government today is fresh on the pound.
00:20Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:23Damage had been done by the...
00:24Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:25Britain's trade gap is a staggering 107 million pounds.
00:30It's the worst figure on record.
00:31The government said that these figures were distorted and meaningless.
00:39Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:42Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:45Where is it?
00:47About you.
00:48Tomorrow's front page, sir.
00:50Not strong enough.
00:53It's the strongest headline the Daily Mail has ever written about a Labour leader.
00:56About had guilty conscience. I don't know what it's saying.
01:25It's a sad day when the Daily Mirror, a Labour-supporting newspaper, turns against a Labour leader,
01:29like this.
01:34We've done some thinking and come up with an idea for how to deflect any further criticism.
01:39Yeah, go on.
01:41Lord Mountbatten.
01:45What's he got to do with anything?
01:46I'm sure we all agree that he's a symbol of a bygone era, of privilege and inequality, empire and extravagance.
01:53Not to mention a pompous, bloody arse.
01:55Go on.
01:56As Chief of the Defence Staff, he's refusing to make the defence cuts we need.
02:01Cuts which you promised in your election manifesto.
02:05One might even tolerate it if he weren't so...
02:08vain or crooked or power-mad.
02:12Quite.
02:14What are you proposing?
02:16That we kick him out.
02:20But at least he's busy.
02:22And inside the tent...
02:24You know, people like Mountbatten.
02:26Medallists, for want of a kind of word.
02:28Energetic, well-connected medallists.
02:29It's better that they're inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.
02:33But he belongs to another time, Harold.
02:37Kicking him out makes economic sense and shows we're tough.
02:41And who knows?
02:42It might just buy us some good headlines.
02:47Yes, I could do with some good headlines.
02:52General salute.
02:55Pre-set.
02:58Out.
02:59Out.
03:00Out.
03:10Out.
03:12Out.
03:16Out.
03:16Out.
03:17Out.
05:08You're kicking me out?
05:12Well, no, sir.
05:13I'm thanking you on behalf of the government, on behalf of the armed forces, on behalf of the whole country
05:18for your many years of remarkable service.
05:23You are.
05:24You're kicking me out.
05:28Well, there we are.
05:35There we are.
05:37There we are.
06:29It's absurd.
06:33But where one door closes, another opens.
06:41There is special providence in such a fall.
06:45If it be now, it is not to come.
06:46If it be not to come, it will be now.
06:48If it be not now, yet it will come.
06:51The readiness is all.
07:09What am I going to do, Barrett?
07:12You'll bounce back, sir.
07:14Before long, you'll have a hundred projects.
07:20Cake, sir.
07:31Hit, hit, hooray!
07:34Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind.
07:45Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of old lang syne.
07:55For old lang syne, my dear.
08:01For old lang syne.
08:04We'll take a cup of kindness yet for old lang syne.
08:15We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
08:25We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
09:05I'll go home, sir.
09:25I'll go home, sir.
09:49I'll go home, sir.
09:53I'll go home, sir.
10:09Pen's down, you must see.
10:15Ten minutes from Newmarket.
10:48Thank you, Cecil.
10:49How is he?
10:50As good as new again.
10:55And do you really think he's recovered from his injury?
10:58Oh, I do, ma'am.
11:00Gilded, fired, well-rusted.
11:02We won't have him breaking down on us again.
11:06Any chance of seeing him on the gallops today?
11:09Oh, no, ma'am.
11:10It's too wet and muddy out there.
11:13It's been a lot like this.
11:15Hardly been able to train him at all.
11:18Well, we can't do anything about the weather.
11:23Now we come to the most anticipated race of this year's Royal Ascot meeting, the Queen
11:28Alexandra Stakes.
11:30This is Britain's longest flat race, where stamina is of the essence.
11:33And the favourite is, of course, number nine.
11:36Her Majesty's own horse, Apprentice.
11:39And they're off.
11:40With number six, Panic's in the early lead, followed by number one, Valentine's Day, with number
11:45two, Olympic boy, leaning right down their necks.
11:47They're off the pace now as they make their start.
11:51Behind the number ten, Obi-Anderson, far off the leaders, but number nine, Apprentice,
11:55tails behind in fifth place.
11:58A disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire club champion.
12:02And, and he's still ahead, but behind him, Apprentice is gaining crowns.
12:06He got the challenge from number seven by even and pulling into four.
12:30And now it's the home straight, and Apprentice is charging down the near side, digging deep.
12:37Nearly, nearly, nearly.
12:40No, he hasn't got it.
12:42No, Apprentice is starting to struggle.
12:44Panic is holding on.
12:45He's holding his lead.
12:46And Apprentice is falling behind as Valentine's Day falls back in second.
12:49Olympic boy coming up from India.
12:51And it's a busy finish, but number six, Panic finishes first.
12:55And they're close for you by number two, Olympic boy.
12:58What are you doing wrong in Portugal?
13:00He used to be at the top.
13:02Now he barely competes.
13:05It's possible that the system set up by your late father,
13:08is now a little obsolete.
13:12And might need, uh, kicking out, throwing on the dust heap.
13:19If you want to keep up with the Aga Khan of this world,
13:22I would suggest you follow their lead.
13:26And do what?
13:28Travel around the world and catch up with all the latest developments.
13:31I can't just do that.
13:32In case you haven't noticed, I have a job to do with you.
13:35It would only be France, not Timbuktu.
13:39There are experienced people who are able to deputise for you in your absence.
13:53As you know, this government is committed to maintaining sterling at $2.80 to the pound.
13:58But with every economic blow, the oil embargo, the balance of payments deficit,
14:03and the dockers' union strike, it's proving harder and harder to maintain.
14:23And I'm afraid that now we have no alternative but to devalue the pound.
14:31And I need hardly say it is a matter of overwhelming regret for me personally.
14:39And a humiliation for the government.
14:44It feels like a bad time to say that I won't be here for our meeting next week.
14:49Perhaps the next two weeks.
14:51But Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, will step in as Councillor of State.
14:55Oh.
14:56A role she's executed many times.
15:06Your Majesty.
15:25Good evening.
15:27A few days ago, the Cabinet took its unanimous decision to devalue the pound.
15:33I can now tell you why we have taken this action.
15:36And more importantly, what it will mean for you.
15:40From now on, the pound abroad will be worth 14% or so less in terms of other currencies.
15:47Now, this does not mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or your purse or
15:52your bank has been devalued.
15:54What it does mean is that the goods we buy from abroad will be dearer.
15:58So, for many goods, it will be cheaper to buy British.
16:04For this devaluation has been a hard decision.
16:09And some of its consequences will be hard for a time.
16:14For three years, this government has fought, as it was our duty to fight, the burden of the deficit that
16:21the previous government left us with.
16:23But now is not the time to triple blame.
16:27Now is our chance to break free from that straitjacket.
16:30To seize this opportunity with both hands.
16:34This is a proud nation.
16:36We're out on our own now.
16:39Now, we must choose to put Britain first.
17:06Tonight, we veterans of the Burma campaign are gathered here to renew old comradeships and to remember fallen brothers at
17:18Yang Gang Yong and Rangoon.
17:21We remember how it was fought, the old way, the honorable way, body to body, bayonet to bayonet.
17:32And that swift, exhilarating sweep of victory that carried us over the Irrawaddy and into Mandalay.
17:40And there we met the Japanese army.
17:43And we tore it apart.
17:48Yes, gentlemen, we military men will always have our past glories to look back on.
17:55But what of this new generation?
17:59These young men and women for whom some of the best of us gave our lives.
18:05Decline.
18:07Irrelevance.
18:08And the devaluation of pounds sterling.
18:11That is the sunless future that faces them.
18:15For them, the white heat of revolution is not a forging heat.
18:20It is a melting heat.
18:22It melts the silver of our battle on us and reduces to cinders the very foundation of our economy, our
18:31currency.
18:31Yeah.
18:33Yeah.
18:34Yeah.
18:34Yeah.
18:35Yeah.
18:36Yeah.
18:36So.
18:37If the only glories available to this nation are its past glories, then let us cherish them now.
18:46Yeah.
18:50Come you back, you British soldier.
18:53come you back
18:58who will join me
19:01ship me somewhere
19:02east of Suez
19:04where the best is like the worst
19:08where there are no
19:09ten commandments
19:11and a man can raise a thirst
19:14for the temple
19:15bells are calling
19:16and it's there that I would be
19:19by the old
19:21mine pagoda
19:22looking lazy at the sea
19:26on the road
19:27to Mandalay
19:29where the old
19:30to Tilleroy
19:32with us sick beneath the orange
19:36when we went to Mandalay
19:40on the road to Mandalay
19:43where the flying
19:45faces
19:45and the dawn comes up
19:49like thunder
19:50out of China
19:52ghostly
19:53and the time
20:10I'll see you soon
20:11by the
20:11and the
20:13and the
20:47It must have been made very clear to me that my leadership days are over.
20:52My colleagues and I don't believe that, sir, not for a minute.
20:57As a matter of fact, we'd be delighted if you'd agree to have lunch with us at Threadneedle Street one
21:02day.
21:03Bank of England?
21:04We've been working on a proposal which we'd very much like to put to you.
21:13Sir.
21:39Thank you, Mr. Ed.
21:41But there's no need for such formalities.
21:44In the world of conservation, it's you who are the king.
21:47You're very gentle, ma'am, and very indulgent.
21:50I'm hoping you'd be flattered.
21:53Here, here.
21:54Hello.
21:55Allons-y.
21:57Hello.
22:01And, of course, it was the Manin Commissage who came out of the Bidangin, a magnificent taxpayer.
22:07Oh.
22:08It was Grand Sire, a white settler.
22:10Oh, that's right.
22:11We had a tremendous success with it.
22:13Yes, I'm a wonderful sprinter.
22:16These are your stud books?
22:17Indeed, ma'am.
22:18And I think you will find some very familiar names in there.
22:22Yes, I will.
22:24If I'm not mistaken, this one.
22:27Oh, gosh, yes.
22:28My grandfather's one of his favourites.
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Yes, I'd say so.
22:35Nice temperament.
22:36Warm-blooded.
22:37Not too skittish.
22:38Indeed.
22:39Look at her hocks.
22:41Oh, yes.
22:42Very well, proportionate.
22:43Excellent line to the back.
22:44Yes.
22:46Me.
22:55It was extraordinary.
22:57Not just their facilities, their entire attitude of breeding, but the fact they keep their foels
23:02and their yearlings so close.
23:04Merci.
23:05While we send ours off to graze in Ireland.
23:09Tell me, honestly, is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet, ma'am.
23:15But, if you want to keep up, you do need to act decisively now.
23:20It would mean rethinking the operation from top to toe, changing the personnel, changing
23:25the approach.
23:26Yes.
23:27And, currently, there is a drain of the best British racehorses to America.
23:31You have to ask yourself, why?
23:35You don't think I should go there, too?
23:37Well, obviously, from a racing perspective, it would be ideal, just for a day or two.
23:42But, er, won't you be needed at home?
23:46Well, they've always got mummy.
23:48Me being away is good for her.
23:50She hates feeling old and superannuated and surplus to requirements.
23:54I'm sure she's relishing being the big chief again.
24:12Thank you, sir.
24:16Mr. King.
24:17Hold my back.
24:20The Great Britain of our childhood is dying before us.
24:25The country is bankrupt.
24:27Our national security is in tatters.
24:29Our allies are in despair.
24:31And on our current trajectory, by 1970, we will be a vassal state.
24:37A pariah.
24:39I don't know about you, sir, but I'd sooner die than stand idly by and watch this happen.
24:45And to that end, my associates and I have come up with a plan to put the country back on
24:51track.
24:52Which is?
24:55Replacing the Prime Minister and installing a new emergency government.
25:01What?
25:02And in his place, we would need to install an inspirational figurehead.
25:07Someone who could unite the nation, command its respect.
25:11Someone who had stepped into a national leadership role before.
25:15Now, there are some obvious candidates, but frankly, none would be as good as you, sir.
25:19No, no, no.
25:20This is quite unthinkable.
25:22At this point, I should close my ears.
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations regarding our Prime Minister, what you're talking about is effectively a coup.
25:35And I can have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
25:38In peacetime, it's true.
25:40An intervention like this would be unconstitutional.
25:44But we believe this is no longer peacetime.
25:48And the circumstances are unprecedented and quite exceptional.
25:55Gerald.
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy, Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan.
26:05Plan Brutus, which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers, freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments,
26:13and enforce crash cuts in defence spending.
26:17The bankers cannot be allowed to run the show.
26:20The Bank of England has known about gold pouring out of the country since Monday and has done nothing to
26:26stop it.
26:26And what is our response?
26:28The imposition of exchange controls, the crash cuts in defence expenditure, and the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas
26:37securities.
26:38Sure of hands.
26:43It is an effective declaration of war on freedom, democracy, and capitalism.
26:51We must act now.
26:54Not just to save Britain, but the world.
26:57We are proposing a radical revolution led by bankers, businessmen, and the armed forces.
27:03Professionals who can save us from amateurism, incompetence, and Russian infiltration.
27:09And as our interim leader, we can think of no one better than you, sir.
27:27This is all very interesting.
27:34May I suggest that we meet again?
27:38In forty-eight hours.
27:42Sorry.
27:51With the pound down and the rest later, I suppose that sums it up.
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back.
27:59Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal of government policy after three years of devaluation and denial.
28:05Go, go, go!
28:07Go, go, go, go!
28:08Outside ten downing feet for testers gathered.
28:11Is the reality of one of your valued power...
28:30Welcome to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Your Majesty.
28:33Thank you, Mr. Hancock.
28:34Please, call me Paul.
28:36Sorry we don't have better weather for you.
28:37It's quite all right. We like a good watery.
28:39Paul Hancock.
28:40Pleasure to be here.
28:41Your shopping basket will hold less for the same money.
28:44A lot of imported foodstaffs will cast more.
28:47And several to find for off the feet.
28:52On Monday after the announcement, the stock exchange was empty.
28:55There was no training.
28:57Outside in Tron Morton Street, brokers and drummers crowned together to try and sort out what the drop is.
29:05Morning, boys.
29:06Morning, sir.
29:07Morning, Mr. Hancock.
29:08They're testing for minerals, sulfur, calcium.
29:12Correct nutrition is vital, ma'am.
29:14When it comes to the bone strength, the bone formation in the folds were raised.
29:18Yes, sir.
29:19Tommy's one of the best.
29:21Thank you, sir.
29:21Does Tommy ever come to England?
29:22Oh, no, no, no.
29:24Oh.
29:25Paris worked up to find the transfers on the brink of civil war.
29:29With the rebel generals in Algeria sent paratroopers, defense measures were quickly put into operation.
29:38All the airports were closed to flights in and out.
29:41Nobody in the capital knew the rebel's intentions.
29:44But plastic bomb outranges here and elsewhere showed that pro-rebel sympathizers were on the power.
29:56These are veterinary students we've invited to spend time here at the farm.
30:00They learned reproductive management, neonatal and foal management, herd health management.
30:06What we're aiming for is better integration between our practices here at the stud and the clinical research being conducted
30:12in the wider world.
30:17Remind me of the year, Porchy.
30:18What, 1967?
30:19Why?
30:20Because having seen what I've just seen, one might think it 2067.
30:25In terms of technology and their management of the pasture and their willingness to embrace new ideas,
30:31the Americans aren't just on a different level, they're on a different planet.
30:34And their racing manager, wasn't he impressive?
30:37When you think about Cecil by comparison.
30:39Yes, he is getting on with that.
30:41150?
30:41Well, not quite that, but certainly 80.
30:4440-year-old Cecil.
30:46The Van Hur of Newmarket.
30:49But he had such success with your father.
30:51And grandfather.
30:52You know he was wounded at the Somme.
30:54Yes.
30:55So, probably time for someone a little bit younger.
30:58The question is, who is there?
31:01What about Gordon Richards?
31:04He's with the wine stocks, they've never let him go.
31:07Or with David McCall.
31:09Hmm.
31:11He's good.
31:13But can you honestly see him fitting in?
31:16No.
31:16Try that.
31:17Oh.
31:29Would you ever consider it?
31:32Me?
31:33Why not?
31:35You're brilliant.
31:36And you know the family inside out.
31:39Well, I'm honoured.
31:41But I'm also very ambitious.
31:45I could never accept unless I felt sure we had every chance of success at the highest level.
31:51And in terms of our research, there's still one thing that we really need to see.
31:56What?
31:57They're training facilities.
31:59But if we're going to gain the edge, there's still a lot to learn from the Americans.
32:04What?
32:04How much longer is that going to take?
32:07Well.
32:12Yes.
32:13Yes, please.
32:13Yes.
32:14My first course we've been in the image is this past high.
32:18Yes.
32:23Yes.
32:24Yes.
32:24Yes.
32:25Yes.
32:25Yes.
32:25Yes.
32:26Yes.
32:30Yes.
32:36Yes.
32:41Gentlemen, in the past decade alone, there have, by my reckoning, been 73 coups in 46
32:50different countries around the world, and the success of some of these might encourage
32:56us. In Ghana, two years ago, President Nkrumah was ousted with just 500 men, and in 1961,
33:05in South Korea, Major General Park Chung-hee seized power with 3,500 men. And in 1964, in Gabon,
33:17just 150 men were able to arrest President Nkrumah and thus gain control over the levers
33:24of state power. And of course, it was with just one legion that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
33:31And perhaps we would not seek to follow his fate, a six-semper tyrannis gentleman.
33:38Now, what all successful insurgencies have in common are five key elements. Control of the
33:46media, control of the economy, and the capture of administrative targets, for which you need
33:52the fourth element, the loyalty of the military. Now, in Ghana and Gabon, this can be achieved
33:59with a handful of battalions. But here, in the United Kingdom, we would need to secure Parliament,
34:09Whitehall, Ministry of Defence, and the Cabinet Office. Prime Minister will be arrested, of course,
34:16along with other politicians, still loyal. We would have to shut down the airports, air traffic control,
34:22same with the train stations. Curfews will be put in place, martial law declared. And I haven't even
34:29mentioned the police. It would take tens of thousands of unquestioningly loyal servicemen.
34:36And even in my heyday, I could never command that. Which brings me to the fifth element,
34:45legitimacy. Now, our government draws its strength from long-established institutions that support it.
34:53The courts, body of common law, the Constitution. If any action against the state to succeed, you'd have to
35:02overthrow these as well. But in a highly evolved democracy, such as ours, their authority is sacrosanct.
35:12Which is why, gentlemen, a coup d'etat in the United Kingdom doesn't stand a chance.
35:33Unless... Unless... Unless... Unless... Unless we have the support of the one person not yet mentioned.
35:39Do you see the temper?
35:41Yeah, we like it.
35:42The Crown has, at its disposal, unique constitutional powers, which could still make something like this possible.
35:52In 1834, William IV used them to dismiss his government in the face of opposition from the House.
35:58And in 1920, the Emergency Powers Act was passed, which gives the sovereign power, in certain circumstances,
36:06to declare a state of emergency by proclamation. Meaning, our Queen could dissolve Parliament,
36:14and appoint a new government, and a Prime Minister as well.
36:18She's also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
36:21They swear allegiance to her, and not to Parliament.
36:25So, could count on their support to see it through.
36:31She is our Caesar.
36:39And you think she might entertain this idea?
36:42The circumstances are certainly compelling.
36:45I've made a list here of exactly how compelling.
36:49And as her second cousin, I am in an ideal position to ask.
37:04Not hungry?
37:05No.
37:10Somehow, today has managed to be one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
37:15And at the same time, one of the most depressing.
37:22Telephone call for you, ma'am? Lord Manbatten?
37:24I'll call him back.
37:33If I tell you something, do you promise it will stay between us?
37:36Of course.
37:39This is how I'd like to spend all my time.
37:45Owning horses, breeding horses, racing horses.
37:48It's what makes me truly happy.
37:53And I actually think it's what I was born to do.
37:56Until the other thing came along.
37:58That someone else was born to do.
38:00That they elected not to do.
38:02Which meant that first my father, and then I, had to do a job we were never meant to do.
38:08Well, you've managed to make it look like the other thing is the only thing you were ever meant to
38:13do.
38:16You're kind.
38:18But it isn't.
38:34And on days like today, in places like this, in company like this,
38:43you get a glimpse of what it all might have been like.
38:48The unlived life.
38:52And how much happier it might have made me.
39:02I... Not now!
39:07Who did? I just sniffed.
39:08Slightly.
39:08I should have to grovel now.
39:10No, it's all right. He'll understand.
39:13I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
39:15Yes, all right. I'm coming.
39:16Honestly, only Dickie.
39:25Yes, thank you, Martin. I'll talk to you.
39:47Your Majesty.
39:48Your Majesty.
39:54You are persistent. Is it really so important?
39:59yes your majesty prime minister
40:05ma'am i have reason to believe there is currently a full-blown plot developing against me
40:11and the democratically elected labor government that governs in your name
40:16being led by a senior member of your family
40:20who
40:24lord mount baton and that he in cahoots with cecil king the chairman of the mirror group
40:31newspapers has been attempting to overthrow this government
40:38now i feel compelled to remind your majesty the tolerance of the royal family is hanging by a
40:44thread as it is now throughout my time in office i have done my level best to
40:51protect you
40:54but if members of the royal family were to interfere with the political business of the day i would
41:00be left with no option
41:01but to side with the republican elements of my cabinet which i have successfully controlled
41:08until now
41:11and take steps
41:16leave it with me prime minister
41:19your majesty
41:21your majesty
41:28mother
41:51the
42:15Drink up, Portie.
42:17We're getting home.
42:26We're getting home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:10Your Majesty.
43:17You asked to see me?
43:19I did.
43:21Well, great minds think alike.
43:23As it happens, I was planning to drop by myself on a matter of great importance.
43:41I'm getting a feeling that I've not had since Dieppe, that I'm walking into a trap.
43:51I'd like to think you had that sinking feeling on another occasion recently, when going to
43:56see your friends at the Bank of England.
43:59Is it even true?
44:02Yes, I did go to lunch at the Bank of England to meet and listen to people who are horrified
44:07by what's happening to the country.
44:10A horror I hope you share.
44:13Perhaps.
44:14But conspiring with them is not the solution.
44:17It is the beginning of a solution.
44:21Why are you doing this?
44:22Why would you protect a man like Wilson?
44:33I am protecting the Prime Minister.
44:37I am protecting the Constitution.
44:40I am protecting democracy.
44:45But if the man of the heart of that democracy threatens to destroy it, are we supposed to just
44:49stand by and do nothing?
44:51Yes.
44:52Doing nothing is exactly what we do.
44:54And bide our time.
44:56And wait for the people that voted him in to vote him out again, if indeed that is what
45:01they decide to do.
45:21I am sure you find it near impossible to do nothing, and to not have the role and the
45:26responsibilities you have always had.
45:29You were born to be busy, and to lead, but you still have a huge role to play in this
45:35family.
45:37A father figure to my husband, an uncle and a guide to me, a king to make in Charles, not
45:46to mention a brother to your sister.
45:49When was the last time you even visited her, cheered her up?
46:00That would be a greater service to the Crown than leading unconstitutional coups.
47:10Nice of you to find the time
47:11These days
47:13I've nothing but time
47:16And too little time
47:30The four of us
47:32What?
47:33The four of us
47:37Look at us now
47:40Only two left
47:41You're left
47:43Not me
47:45I'm on the way out
47:46Nonsense
47:49There came a moment
47:51Around the time I turned 70
47:53When it dawned on me
47:56That I was no longer a participant
47:58Rather a spectator
48:01I've discovered that for myself
48:04Then it's
48:05Just a matter of waiting
48:07And not getting in the way
48:20Now I hear you have been getting in the way
48:23I told you that
48:25There are no secrets in this place
48:29Did you get a dressing down from our doughty queen?
48:35Yes, I did
48:38Oh, what's so funny?
48:40Well, that's funny
48:42The little girl
48:44Admonishing the grand old admiral of the fleet
48:47Well, I'm glad it amuses you
48:49Because the situation this country is facing
48:52Is anything but amusing
48:57Oh
48:59Who cares?
49:01Honestly
49:04One of the few joys of being as old as we both are
49:08Is that it's not our problem
49:12Not really our country either
49:14What are you talking about?
49:16Of course it's our country
49:18We Battenbergs have no country
49:23Our family might have kings and queens in its ranks
49:27But we're mongrels too
49:31Part German, part Greek, part nowhere at all
49:38Well, this is my country
49:43Gave me a home
49:44Gave me a name
49:47And in return I've given it my life
49:55And to see it like this breaks my heart
49:58And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:13And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:13And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:13And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:13And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:13And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:14And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:15And to see it like this breaks my heart
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:05Princess Alice, nowhere at all.
51:09Princess Alice, somewhere at once.
52:20Don't sound so surprised.
52:21I am. It's been so long.
52:28So how was France, America?
52:32Educational.
52:35The trip was supposed to be a week. You were gone almost a month.
52:38Yes.
52:41With Portchey?
52:43Yes.
52:46Was that fun?
52:49We went on racing business. It was a fact-finding expedition.
52:54Right.
52:56If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
53:00I've heard you've appointed him as your racing manager.
53:03I have.
53:03Which means he'll be around all the time.
53:05Yes, with any luck.
53:07Good for you.
53:08Good for all of us.
53:19Good for all of us.
53:49I heard about Dickie.
53:52A coup.
53:53Yes, can you believe it?
53:57It must be hard getting old.
54:05Yes.
54:19I'll be up in a minute.
54:22Oh, will you?
54:23Yes, I thought so.
54:26Unless you'd rather I wasn't.
54:29I'll see you in a minute.
54:31I'll see you in a minute.
54:33I'll see you in a minute.
54:48Oh, my God.
