00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.

05:36see that it was about my feelings for if you had any feelings for me if you had
05:40any understanding of me if you had anything between your ears other than
05:45self-obsession you'd know public displays like that horrify me everything I do seems
05:49to horrify you increasingly yes I never thought you'd manage this but you're
05:53really succeeding now then what's that I'm starting to properly load what's
05:57taking you so long the rest of us have been there for some time
06:19what are you doing I'm going back to Gloucestershire of course it's where
06:25she'll be waiting for you I'm sure she'll know exactly how to make you happy
06:42Charles and Diana seem to be getting on again
06:46hallelujah apparently she surprised him with a dance last night at the opera house
06:50really full of high kicks and spins why did you never do that for me
06:56dance on your birthday yes like salome because if memory serves you had your
07:03own ballerinas for that honestly rubbish you talk sometimes
07:13it says here they're off to Switzerland skiing with friends
07:17perhaps their marriage has turned a corner
07:19now much more importantly who is billy joel billy joe oh joe is uptown girl
07:30what are you talking about
07:35you
07:45you
07:48you
09:21Right.
09:22Obviously, the minute you can confirm anything.
09:25Anything at all.
09:26I need to see the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh immediately.
09:29Prince Charles has been caught in an avalanche at the Swiss resort of Closters.
09:34The Prince of Wales was skiing with a group of friends when the avalanche struck.
09:38There had been a warning of possible avalanches in the region after heavy snowfall.
09:43Rescue helicopters are attending the scene, but it is not known whether the Prince has survived.
09:48A desperate rescue operation is now underway.
09:52Efforts to locate the Prince continue.
09:55They were on the Haglomad, a notoriously challenging off-piste slope.
10:02When the avalanche struck, it seems that two of the party were hit and swept away.
10:09Why were they even skiing if the conditions were dangerous?
10:13Conditions this morning were apparently ideal.
10:16And a male body has been found?
10:20Those are the first unconfirmed reports.
10:23Yes.
10:24Obviously, every effort possible is being made to identify the body.
10:28But should the unthinkable turn out to be true, and the Prince of Wales is, in fact, um...
10:39We have contingency plans in place for all members of the royal family.
10:43Menai Bridge is no exception.
10:47It's the codename for the death of the Prince of Wales.
10:50Thank you, Martin.
11:03Why bridges?
11:06We're all bridges.
11:08I'm London Bridge.
11:09Mummy's Tay Bridge.
11:10You're Forth Bridge.
11:13The choice of name was to suggest a link between this life and the next.
11:47The status of this life and the opposite life and the next life and the next life and the next
11:47life.
11:47The choice of life and the next life.
11:48So, remember we are just stuck.
11:49We have to come to the far back and learn about backgrounds.
11:50Realください.
11:50We're all just stuck.
11:53So, since the next life of the Prince of Wales killed him we won't get into the被子 at the time.
11:55... we'll keep you with your control CSV together.
12:05If your story is the onlyórlands, why is the Zuk?
12:12we've had it confirmed the Prince of Wales is safe ma'am although one of the guests
12:20Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson is still in intensive care and the one fatality was Hugh Lindsay
12:27oh no his wife our widow works in the press office Sarah if you wanted to send a letter of
12:39course
12:46Martin yes ma'am just to say along with the coverage of his royal highness's near escape
12:54we should also brace ourselves for more speculation about the Wales is marriage it seems the Prince
13:01and Princess had not been on the best of terms prior to the accident and we'd received reports
13:05of arguments and raised voices certain newspapers were about to run stories and although we might
13:12expect a reprieve of a few days given the circumstances we can't expect it to last for long
13:23now
13:41the Prince and Princess of Wales are travelling back to Britain this afternoon following a devastating
13:47accident that has cut short their skiing holiday in Switzerland on board their flight will be the body
13:52of major Hugh Lindsay a close friend of the couple who died in the avalanche yesterday the Prince of Wales
13:58Princess of Wales was himself only inches away from death
14:02the Prince of Wales'
15:09You said you were on your way.
15:10Hello, darling.
15:15Oh, thank you.
15:17What have I done now?
15:19You? Nothing.
15:20But as his sister and confidant, I thought you might throw some light on a subject about which I've been
15:25ostriching, rather.
15:27The true state of Charles' marriage.
15:29You don't want to know.
15:31Actually, I do.
15:35Tea?
15:36Tea? Yes, please.
15:58The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:02Please.
16:05All right.
16:10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl who fell madly in love with a handsome prince.
16:14Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else, who was herself in love with someone else, and they
16:19all lived unhappily ever after.
16:22That's it.
16:23In a nutshell, do you need more?
16:25A little.
16:26There's already a big age difference, but Charles is older than his years, and Diana is younger than hers, which
16:31makes it not an age gap, but an age chasm.
16:34On the face of it, they come from similar aristocratic backgrounds, but their personalities come from different planets.
16:40They have different interests, different friends.
16:43He doesn't understand her.
16:44She doesn't understand him.
16:46And considering all that, they've actually done remarkably well.
16:50But.
16:53There comes a point in any failing marriage, and here I speak with some experience.
16:58When you realize there's no point in trying anymore, it's easier to just let the current take you away.
17:05And the minute Harry was born and duty was done, the marriage was effectively over, and they started to find
17:09comfort in the arms of others.
17:12How many others?
17:15Diana's been with her bodyguard, her riding instructor.
17:20And Charles?
17:22He's just been with one.
17:24He's also been a bit more discreet.
17:26The only people who know about Camilla are, well, pretty much the old of Gloucestershire, who all seem to be
17:31involved in facilitating it.
17:33You can't conduct an extramarital affair without somewhere to meet, or sleep, or...
17:38Do you think?
17:39But Diana, Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace it's like a revolving door.
17:46The suitors park outside her office because it's the only place with no security cameras.
17:51One after another.
17:53In and out.
17:56In and out.
17:59Unfortunately, the Wales marriage is a rare example of something that is actually worse than the newspaper's report.
18:04It's just been told.
18:06It's just been settled.
18:31So...
18:33The Queen has asked to severe the winter's plans at the earliest opportunity.
19:14To be continued...
19:35I don't know.
20:22I don't know.
20:33The whole charade is madness.
20:36I only want to be with you.
20:38But you are with me.
20:39I mean fully.
20:41Completely.
20:43As my wife.
20:45Oh, darling.
20:47The rest of it is just a terrible lie that's making everyone involved in it, everyone, utterly wretched.
23:06Thank you, Nigel.
23:39Thank you both for coming.
28:30the hero. Everyone else too. No more little flirtations. No more plan Bs. All doors firmly
28:41shut. Any more telephone calls from Major Hewitt? Make sure to say I'm out. I don't
28:51want to hear from him. He can't just show up. He's not welcome here anymore. No. For
28:59the first time, things do feel different. I feel different. Because I've realized how
29:05much I want to make this marriage work. And to that end, with our seventh anniversary
29:10coming up. Well, I've had some ideas. On the 21st, we have lunch at the Community Enterprise
29:23Trust in Hartlepool, followed by a turf-cutting ceremony at Hilton Colliery,
29:29redevelopment site in Sunderland. What about the 22nd? Presentation of new colors to the
29:361st Battalion Gordon Highlanders at Fort George in Vanessa. I'm trying to find time for a weekend
29:40in Scotland with Mrs. Parker Bowles. What about the 29th? That might be tricky. Why? I'm free
29:47the day before, not due back in Cornwall until the 2nd, which is a Tuesday. The 29th is your
29:53wedding anniversary, sir. Of course. As a matter of fact, the Princess of Wales made a point
30:05of requesting you be in Highgrove that weekend. She said she had something specific in mind.
30:32the 2nd, which is a place where we are at. And here goes
30:39for five minutes until the 1st. That ž Möglichее competition only for one of them. You can't
32:55Gosh.
33:01Oh, we haven't done our presents.
33:04Rayson?
33:05Yes.
33:31Ida's Orthopianae, the history of your family home, commissioned by your great-great-great-grandfather
33:38in 1822.
33:39It's a first edition.
33:41Oh, Charles, that's lovely.
33:49Now me.
33:53It's a bit smaller.
34:08I know how horrified you were the last time I performed for you, about how public it was.
34:14I wasn't horrified.
34:16Yes, you were.
34:18I was...
34:19It is a shock.
34:22Seeking by surprise.
34:23I know.
34:24But I love to perform.
34:26It's how I can best express myself, and how I can show what I really feel.
34:34So this time, it's just between us.
34:37No public.
34:38No-one watching.
35:03What is this?
35:04Wait, what?
35:05I love you so much.
35:15Know your talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears
35:22I'm here, nothing will harm you My words will walk and calm you
35:31Let me be your freedom, let day not try your tears. I'm here with you beside you, to guard you
35:45and to guide you.
36:12It was monstrous. Awful. I thought the agony she inflicted on me at the opera house
36:17couldn't be topped. What was it? A video of Diana singing some dreadful song in something musical.
36:24The Phantom of the Opera. What? On the actual stage in the West End, in costume, with all the real
36:31actors.
36:32Singing? If you could call it that, I didn't know where to look. The chap playing the Phantom at least
36:37had a mask to hide behind. Honestly, there's nothing more exhausting than putting on a kind face.
36:42I never realised how much scaffolding a smile required.
36:47When is this nightmare ever going to end? Charles. What?
36:51I'm going to be frank with you. No one wants your marriage to end, not a single person.
36:57Not Diana, not your children, not your mother or father, not me, not a single one of your friends,
37:02and most importantly, not even the woman you think loves you. I've got rubbish.
37:07No, listen. Listen to me. No one can bear to watch the mess you are making of this,
37:11and someone needs to explain things to you. I'm close to Camilla's husband, as you know.
37:17Yes, I'm aware. And speak to Andrew regularly, and while theirs is not a perfect marriage...
37:21That's understatement.
37:22It is a long-lasting marriage. And in its own way, a happy marriage.
37:26Oh, she is not happy.
37:27She's happier than you think.
37:29Well, then he's bedding most of her friends.
37:31It's complicated. The majority of marriages survive because the majority of people aren't fantasists.
37:37They are realists, and accept the imperfect reality of being human.
37:43And although Camilla doubtless has feelings for you, deep feelings,
37:48it is maybe not quite the great Romeo-Juliet thing that you imagine.
37:52What? You're lying.
37:53No, I'm not. I'm trying to protect you.
37:56I come here seeking comfort from my sibling, and what do I get?
37:59The unvarnished truth.
38:00What does one have to do to get some kindness in this family?
38:04What?
38:34I'm trying to protect you.
38:49I can't stay long. The children are home.
38:54I need to know.
38:58Do you still have feelings for Andrew?
39:02What?
39:03I don't mean normal feelings. He's your husband and the father of your children.
39:06I mean special feelings.
39:16Anne told me that Andrew, not I, was the big love of your life and that your feelings
39:22for me were perhaps not as deep as I'd imagined.
39:24That's not true. Andrew has never adored me like you do. Or shown me the same devotion.
39:34He also doesn't need me like you do.
39:36I do need you. And that's why it's so important. We both feel the same. And want the same.
39:50And that if the opportunity were to present itself and I were able to escape this
39:59calamity of marriage, that you'd be prepared to do the same thing and leave Andrew.
40:06And what we both want and what we can actually do are not the same thing.
40:20It's important we remain realistic, sir.
40:27But you have my word. My love for you is real.
40:47I should go.
41:12And the environment are being damaged.
41:14Mrs. Thatcher has been welcomed in Canberra by the Australian Prime Minister.
41:39And one, and two, and three, and four, and turn towards the bar, and arms like this.
41:49Come along, Diana. And, and again, and one, and two, and three, and...
