00:12C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:17C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:19C'est, c'est bon.
00:21C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:22Lovers say that in France.
00:25C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:26When they thrill to romance.
00:28C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:30It means that it's so good.
00:34Ah, c'est bon.
00:37C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:38So I say it to you.
00:41C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:42Like the French people do.
00:45All the breakfast, all the breakfast.
00:46Because it's all so good.
00:49I wonder how many of them are aware of the tension behind the scenes.
00:51Every word.
00:53Some of these people have paid a thousand pounds for a ticket.
00:58All that remains for the performance.
01:01These people live on clouds.
01:03And is this there?
01:06Ah, it's so good.
01:10Now the elf characters around the court.
01:14The queen, we're told, is just the person's away.
01:23The queen, the real star of tonight, steps out onto the red carpet to be greeted by the much-loved
01:30theatrical impresario of Delphont.
01:32The president of the entertainment artist Benevolent Fun.
01:36For tonight is the night when the world of show business and royalty come together for a good call.
01:42See you, Annette.
01:43That would be a laugh.
01:45It's from the challenge.
01:46It's in the city.
01:47Yeah.
01:48I don't know.
01:48Has anyone got my...
01:50All right, then, George.
01:53And now, the national anthem.
02:02All started, has it?
02:13Right, then, Catherine.
02:14Here you are.
02:16And you, Nerissa.
02:17Good girl.
02:24Swallowed?
02:26Well done.
02:29How are you doing, sir?
02:33Bedtime.
02:49Good boy.
02:58Good girl.
05:22I have come tonight with a gift.
05:25Oh.
05:27Gossip.
05:28My favourite.
05:30Is it wicked?
05:32Very.
05:33Is it about someone famous?
05:36Yes.
05:37But I must ask you to keep it a secret.
05:39No.
05:40Do be quiet.
05:42I'll be the judge of that when I hear it.
05:44Ma'am.
05:45Devil.
05:46You're not taking this seriously.
05:48How can you tell?
05:50This is a huge secret.
05:53This is a huge secret.
05:54It's virtually a state secret.
05:56I'm...
05:57I'm all ears.
06:00And eyes.
06:02And lips.
06:03All right.
06:05Did you say lips?
06:13Are you feeling naughty?
06:16Yes, I can see that.
06:18Mm-hmm.
06:23Ma'am, I have greatly enjoyed the last few months...
06:28And the closeness that has developed between us.
06:31Not closeness, intimacy.
06:33Oh, God.
06:38Please.
06:58There was a time when the men I loved would simply leave me for other women.
07:03Now they're leaving for the church.
07:05Who?
07:06Derek Jennings.
07:08Dazzle.
07:08Yes, Dazzle.
07:10What were we doing with him?
07:12Falling slightly in love?
07:15Oh, Margaret.
07:16Mm.
07:17Colin Tennant said we were the two most impossible people.
07:20He knew that we should be kept apart at all costs in the interests of public safety,
07:25like nitrogen and glycerin.
07:27But he's so handsome.
07:30Yes.
07:31Has an unkind word for everyone, which I adore.
07:37And touching vulnerability.
07:42And because he has found happiness as elusive as me, so we discuss all the different kinds
07:49of ways that we try to find joy and calm.
07:53A good brisk walk, I say.
07:55Yes, that might work for you.
07:57It does, every time.
07:58But it might not be enough for the rest of us.
08:02And Dazzle has found the thing that works best for him.
08:08Which is?
08:10The priesthood.
08:11Catholic priesthood.
08:12Yes.
08:13Well, that's the second reason he was never the right man for you.
08:19The first being, well, he's, you know, a friend of Dorothy.
08:27Dazzle.
08:27Famously, yes.
08:29You sure?
08:31But the way he looks at me sometimes.
08:34Hmm.
08:35Describe that.
08:36With great, big, adoring eyes.
08:39I think you're fine.
08:40That's because you're a royal princess.
08:42And he's a raging snob.
08:45Am I that stupid?
08:48Or desperate?
08:50I don't like the sound of that cough.
08:52That's fine.
08:53And you've been struggling with your chest for a while.
08:55Should have realized when he kept suggesting going to the opera.
08:59Cough, cough, cough, cough.
09:01Cough, cough.
09:22Princess Margaret is undergoing investigative surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital.
09:27The 54-year-old princess, who was admitted this afternoon, is unlikely to learn the results of those procedures for
09:33several days.
09:34But royal sources say she has not been suffering from any specific ailment.
09:38The hospital has declined to release any further details on the princess's condition.
09:42It's thought that Princess Margaret was smoking as many as 60 cigarettes a day.
09:46And that, of course, would go against any medical advice.
09:47I think we'll switch this off, shall we?
09:49Princess Margaret will be fine.
09:51Princess Margaret will be fine.
09:54Princess Margaret is in good hands.
09:58All right, Catherine.
09:59John, come on.
10:00Why don't I say that?
10:01Don't be difficult now.
10:03Catherine, come on.
10:04Right.
10:05Come on, it's bedside.
10:06Donnie needs to go to bed now.
10:08She's going to shake.
10:11All together.
10:13We're all prepared as well.
10:16Bloody guys, Catherine, you're this one.
10:55Happy birthday to you.
11:00Happy birthday to you.
11:05Happy birthday to you.
11:11Happy birthday to you.
11:14Happy birthday to you.
11:22Good birthday, Patrick.
11:24Children-wise, we seem to do things in twos in this family.
11:28I can honestly say I never wanted four.
11:31A brace would have been quite enough for me.
11:33But the boss put her foot down after a tough negotiation on the yacht in Lisbon in a storm.
11:41Do you remember?
11:42Yes, I do.
11:44Along came another two.
11:47The B team.
11:48It's the second eleven.
11:50Who have been very special.
11:52Not that the first lot aren't special.
11:54But they were expected, I suppose.
11:56Duty.
11:58Whereas the second lot came out of...
12:01I was going to say pleasure.
12:03But that's really not the right word.
12:04Judging by Anne's face.
12:07That's the word I'm looking for.
12:09Joy?
12:10Exactly.
12:11Joy.
12:13They were conceived in reconciliation.
12:17And they have bound us all together and brought great joy.
12:21So, please, raise your glasses.
12:27Oh, Margot.
12:31Many, many happy returns to...
12:35I'm sorry, what's your name again?
12:38The runt of the litter, dear Edward.
12:41Happy birthday.
12:44You want the big piece?
12:45Yeah.
12:45I like all of that.
12:47Come off it.
12:48I'll drop it up in two.
12:50Seeing as it's your sister's birthday, you get the extra big piece.
13:05I remember the day that one was christened.
13:12And there's a photograph of us both with our babies.
13:15Yes.
13:16You were holding yours as if it were a bomb.
13:19No.
13:21You're looking terribly glum having just had another huge row with Tony.
13:25Hm.
13:26He was never the right man for you.
13:28Well, I've come to the view that there is no right man for me.
13:32You don't see that.
13:33No, it's true.
13:34Love has a tender kiss for most people.
13:37For me, she saves her sharpest ex.
13:41Well, I am ready for a new chapter.
13:45Without men.
13:46Without.
13:48Without.
13:49Cigarettes.
13:50Without.
13:58I'm finally ready.
14:00To focus on the one thing that won't let me down.
14:04What's that?
14:05Us.
14:06My position as a royal.
14:09My duty.
14:11So, I come on bended knee with a familiar request.
14:18Give me as much responsibility as you can.
14:23As many jobs, as much work.
14:25If your sister needs to stay afloat, it's a sense of meaning.
14:34To be happy.
14:35Please let me not come on.
14:36Hmm-mm-mm.
14:42I'll stay and open again, Миха ATCH.
14:43No, not panic.
14:43No, for you, what can you do?
14:45Come on!
14:46Oh, my God.
15:16Hello, you.
15:18Hello, you.
15:22And hello, him.
15:24Your Royal Highness.
15:25We're not interrupting, are we?
15:26No, not at all.
15:27Renee is coming at noon.
15:30Oh, a new bow?
15:31No, a new hairdresser.
15:34Another friend of Dorothy's.
15:36Ah.
15:37Other than that, nothing.
15:39No?
15:41The day stretches before me like a great yawning void.
15:50Oh, my God.
15:54What do you want?
15:57Can't be good news, or you wouldn't have brought Lurch.
16:03Ma'am, we've come to talk to you about the 1937 Regency Act, which created a list of senior royals
16:10who could be called on to deputise for the monarch on formal occasions.
16:15Yes, I know all about that.
16:17I've been stepping in for half a year.
16:20But there is a specific number of those senior royals, just six.
16:28Go on.
16:29Well, the recent 21st birthday of Prince Edward means that he is now of age.
16:35And as a child of the sovereigns, well, he ranks higher than you in the line of succession.
16:44And you will therefore be required to relinquish your role as councillor of state.
16:55Don't take that away from me.
16:56It's all I've got.
16:57Oh, Margaret.
16:58It makes no sense.
17:00I have the maturity.
17:01I have the wisdom.
17:02Not to mention the experience.
17:04Edward's a boy.
17:06He's an immature, useless boy.
17:08Yes, that may be.
17:08But we all have to play by the rules.
17:11You will have time to concentrate on your convalescence.
17:15Would you leave us, please?
17:19Leave us.
17:38I don't want more time.
17:42Don't you see?
17:46Time.
17:47It scares me.
17:49It fills me with dread.
17:53I want...
17:56I want something to fill it with.
17:59Will you still have your interests?
18:01Oh, please.
18:03And your friends?
18:04Friends.
18:06The ones worth knowing.
18:07They're fed up with me.
18:09Your charities?
18:10Charities.
18:11They don't want me either.
18:13No, not now.
18:14We have the Princess of Wales.
18:16She's younger.
18:18She's nicer.
18:18Prettier.
18:20No, nobody wants this.
18:22Oh, Marco.
18:24I asked you for just one thing.
18:27To give me work.
18:29A purpose.
18:30Dignity.
18:31Yes, and if it were up to me,
18:33I would have given it all to you.
18:34The whole show, gladly, from day one, but it's not.
18:40So we have to live with it.
18:41No, I will have to live with it.
18:43Not you.
18:44I will.
18:44No, no, no.
18:47No, no.
18:49No, no.
18:50No.
19:06No, no.
19:07No.
24:58that I, in HRH, should travel to see her.
25:02I gather it's part of the process
25:04that the patient accepts that they are the patient.
25:10Apparently, the healing cannot start
25:12until the grandiosity is diminished.
25:15What grandiosity?
25:16I'm so far down the royal pecking order these days.
25:19I'm virtually untouchable.
25:22Here we are.
25:35I had therapy once before,
25:38in the early days of my marriage to Lord Snowden.
25:42The problem you face is I'm...
25:44Well, I'm so opposed to all of this,
25:45I find it so pathetic.
25:48Violet's everything I was brought up to believe.
25:49What were you brought up to believe?
25:52Self-pity won't get you very far.
25:56Just got to get on with it.
25:59Well, that's a very common attitude.
26:01It's also quite an old-fashioned attitude.
26:04Did you just call me common?
26:05And old?
26:09Because that would not be a good way to start.
26:16So, what made you want to try again?
26:19Ma'am.
26:20Ma'am?
26:35Well, I'm ashamed to say I've been feeling
26:41a little low
26:45for a while now.
26:49And this current slump
26:52seems to have resisted
26:55every attempt I've made
26:59to muscle through.
27:02Are you aware of anyone else
27:04in your immediate family
27:05struggling with mental health issues?
27:14Prince of Wales?
27:15He has his ups and downs.
27:17I wouldn't say that's a condition.
27:19That's just marriage.
27:22The Duke of Gloucester.
27:24My uncle.
27:26He got low
27:27from time to time.
27:28I only ask
27:30because I am aware
27:31through professional colleagues
27:33of the sisters.
27:37Sisters?
27:40What sisters?
27:43That's when she told me
27:44about our cousins.
27:46Our first cousins.
27:47Catherine and Arissa
27:48Bose Lyon.
27:50Third and fifth daughters
27:52of mummy's favourite elder brother
27:53Uncle Jock.
27:54Being locked up
27:55in the Earlswood Institution
27:57for mental defectives,
27:59if you please,
28:00in Red Hill.
28:00Yes, I remember hearing
28:01about Catherine and Arissa
28:03and their terrible problems.
28:06But they long did.
28:09It's my understanding
28:10they're both very much alive.
28:13But we can check.
28:15What are you doing?
28:16That's my button.
28:20Oh, here we are.
28:21It works.
28:25Let me do that.
28:26I'll do that.
28:26No, I'm fine.
28:35Here we are.
28:36Oh, heavy.
28:43Catch, don't you dare.
28:45Not funny.
28:46Go carefully.
28:50Oh, yes.
28:52Oh, here it is.
28:53Oh, yes.
28:59Look, here it is.
29:00Narissa, deceased, 1940.
29:04Catherine, deceased, 1961.
29:06There it is in black and white.
29:07Both died long ago.
29:09Oh, strange.
29:19Morphear.
29:25Who was it?
29:27Mr. Jennings, ma'am.
29:29Dazzle?
29:31What did he want?
29:32To let you know
29:33that he was going to be
29:34in London next week
29:34for a few days.
29:36In case you had any time.
29:40No.
29:54Dazzle, you're not praying, are you?
29:55I am.
29:57Maria, I'm Master Gretzio.
29:58When was the last time
29:59you drove a car?
30:00I'm trying all the time.
30:02Well, maybe not this particular model.
30:05Anyway, you're a fine one to talk.
30:07You can't drive at all.
30:09Just, I recognize my limitations.
30:12Well, I'd have been happier
30:13for the chauffeur to drive us,
30:15but then...
30:15What are you doing?
30:17Well, then we wouldn't have been alone.
30:18Why is it so important
30:20that we're alone?
30:43It's if someone asks me who I am.
30:46They won't.
30:47You're a priest.
30:47But I'm not.
30:48Not yet.
30:49I'm still just a seminarian.
30:50They don't know that.
30:52You still look suitably clerical
30:53and beyond suspicion.
30:55Feels wrong, ma'am.
30:57Deceitful.
30:59You can always confess later.
31:01Now go.
31:21Let's go.
31:22I'll just sit here.
32:08They are alive, ma'am.
32:10You saw them?
32:11I did.
32:15How were they?
32:20They are like children, ma'am.
32:23But they know who you are.
32:26And they know who your sister is.
32:30They have pictures of the whole family,
32:33which they know is their family.
32:40Love that one, don't you?
32:42Oh, yes.
32:43Keeps it in pride of place, she does.
32:48Oh.
32:55Shall I get your cousins to say hello?
32:57Did you say cousins?
33:01Hello.
33:01Hello.
33:02And there are more.
33:06More what?
33:09More relatives, cousins of theirs, equally afflicted.
33:16Sit.
33:18Sit.
33:19Sit on the bed.
33:20All family together.
33:21All family together.
33:24Have a seat.
33:26Have a seat.
33:33Oh, my God.
33:56Not hungry.
33:58Oh, we're starving. We've all been for long walks this morning.
34:03Well, you and I are about to go for another.
34:06You don't mind if I steal her away, do you?
34:09No, not at all.
34:16Five. Five, Mummy.
34:19Five members of our close family locked up and neglected.
34:23What do you expect us to do?
34:25Behave like human beings.
34:26Don't be so naive. We had no choice.
34:30They're your nieces.
34:32Daughters of your favourite brother.
34:34They were unwell.
34:36Aunt Vanella was overwhelmed.
34:38And then the way things suddenly changed for all of us.
34:41None of us could have foreseen it.
34:42It was it.
34:44Well, the abdication was...
34:45Well, not everything that is wrong with this family
34:47can be explained away by the abdication.
34:50But the abdication did change everything.
34:53You were too young to understand.
34:56Everything.
35:03It's complicated.
35:05No, it's not.
35:06It's wicked.
35:07And it's cold-hearted.
35:08It's cruel.
35:10And it's entirely in keeping with the ruthlessness I myself have experienced in this family.
35:17If you're not first in mind.
35:20If you're an individual character with individual needs.
35:24And, God forbid, an irregular temperament.
35:27If...
35:28If you don't fit the perfect mould and...
35:32Silent, dutiful supplication.
35:35Then you'll be spat out.
35:36Or you'll be hidden away.
35:37Or...
35:38Worse.
35:39Declared dead.
35:41Darwin had nothing on you lot.
35:44Shame on all of you.
35:46Margaret.
35:46No.
35:48Margaret!
35:49Margaret!
36:14If I try to explain, will you at least listen?
36:31The fact is, the moment that man, your perfidious uncle, abdicated the throne, it really did change everything.
36:43Overnight, I went from being the wife of the Duke of York, leading a relatively normal life, to being queen,
36:53and wife of a king emperor.
36:58At the same time, my family, the Bowes-Lyons, went from being minor Scottish aristocrats to having a direct bloodline
37:09to the crown.
37:11Resulting...
37:13In the children of my brother.
37:16Catherine.
37:16And Nerissa.
37:18And their first cousins.
37:20Edonia.
37:22Etheldrida.
37:24And Rosemary.
37:27Yes.
37:29Paying a terrible price.
37:35Why?
37:35Because...
37:38Their illness...
37:40Their imbecility...
37:41Don't use those words.
37:43Their professionally diagnosed idiocy and imbecility...
37:48...would make people question the integrity of the bloodline.
37:53What?
37:55Can you imagine the headlines if it were to get out?
37:58What people would say?
38:00The hereditary principle already hangs by such a precarious threat.
38:06Throw in mental illness.
38:09And it's over.
38:11The idea that one family alone has the automatic birthright to the crown is already so hard to justify.
38:22The gene pool of that family had better have 100% purity.
38:32There have been enough examples on the Windsor side alone to worry people.
38:38King George III.
38:40Prince John.
38:41Your uncle.
38:43If you add the Bose Lion illnesses to that...
38:48The danger is...
38:50It becomes...
38:53Untenable.
39:09It's all a family disease, isn't it?
39:13When they...
39:14They tell you you can't marry.
39:17When they strip away your official role.
39:20When they side with your husband.
39:23As your marriage falls apart.
39:26And now this...
39:30This final...
39:33Insult.
39:35That every diminishment...
39:39Every...
39:42Rotten...
39:44Misfortune...
39:46Is...
39:47Written.
39:48Written in my blood.
39:52So...
39:56Without...
39:58Tiptoeing to protect me.
40:00Or...
40:01Dressing things up.
40:03Tell me the truth.
40:06As well as being born second.
40:09Am I destined to be mad...
40:11Too?
40:14No, ma'am.
40:18When I heard you'd...
40:20Made the appointment to come today...
40:23I did a little research.
40:26Now the genetic fault...
40:28Responsible for your cousin's condition...
40:30Seems to have descended from their common maternal grandfather...
40:35Charles Trefuse's 21st Baron Clinton.
40:39This suggests that the recessive gene...
40:41Responsible for their condition...
40:43Lies with the Clinton family.
40:46So how did it get to the Bowes-Lyon family?
40:49Through your aunt...
40:52Vanella...
40:52Born Clinton...
40:54Who married...
40:55John...
40:56Boes-Lyon.
40:57Uncle Jock.
40:58What your cousins suffer from...
40:59Is a severe developmental disorder.
41:02Whatever issues you may or may not be facing...
41:05That's not the same thing at all.
41:07It hasn't somehow passed...
41:09To my mother, Queen Elizabeth.
41:12No.
41:14Then...
41:14If they didn't threaten the integrity of the royal family...
41:18The girls need never have been hidden away.
41:23And what my family did was unforgivable.
41:46Anyway...
41:47She prescribed...
41:50Medication...
41:52Psychotherapy...
41:53And...
41:53Increased exercise.
41:56I'd be suggesting giving up alcohol soon.
41:58Giving up alcohol?
42:00You could always just convert and come over to Rome.
42:04Dazzle.
42:05The only thing that's worked for me...
42:07Lifted my spirits.
42:09Before I became Catholic, I attended church.
42:12After I converted, I found a faith.
42:14The difference is night and day.
42:16Oh, now you're being evangelical.
42:17I feel evangelical.
42:18It's not just the beauty...
42:20It's the rigor of the Catholic Church.
42:22It demands complete submission...
42:24Which strong, willful characters like mine...
42:27And I would suggest yours, ma'am, need.
42:31One cannot fully receive God...
42:33Until one has submitted to something larger.
42:36And...
42:36The moment I did...
42:38Don't tell me.
42:39The lights went on.
42:40You found happiness.
42:42More than happiness.
42:46Ecstasy.
42:47And the gloom we talked about so many times...
42:53The emptiness...
42:54Has gone.
42:59How nice.
43:01So come over.
43:05I would.
43:06But...
43:06In case you hadn't noticed, Dazzle...
43:08I've already submitted to something larger.
43:12The Royal Family of the United Kingdom.
43:14If I became Catholic...
43:17It would be a national scandal.
43:19There would be talk of betrayal.
43:21Second Reformation.
43:23No, they'd...
43:24Make me give up my title and...
43:26Kick me out.
43:27That'd be so bad.
43:29To free yourself once and for all.
43:32To find happiness.
43:35Why would I?
43:36The title.
43:38My seniority.
43:39The proximity to the crown.
43:41Is my happiness.
43:42It's who I am.
43:43I don't expect you to understand.
43:44No, I don't understand.
43:46You've just discovered terrible things about your family.
43:50A system that ignored five members of its own to protect itself.
43:53Will that same system protect you?
43:55No.
43:56It doesn't protect anything except the centre.
43:59Those away from the centre...
44:01But I am in the centre.
44:02I am in the very centre.
44:05I am the Queen's sister.
44:07Daughter to a King Emperor.
44:09And I will always be in the centre.
44:15Now go, Dazzle.
44:19Back to your ecstatic new family.
44:21And I will struggle on in mine.
44:28And I think it would be better if we...
44:30Don't see...
44:32One another again.
44:42And...
44:44Should you ever...
44:46Find a moment...
44:49Perhaps you will pray for me.
44:53I will.
45:01Your role, Highness.
45:22My heart is working fast.
45:25I think my eyes are tall and tall.
45:29And down the broken sky.
45:32I've got a feeling like I'm falling.
45:35And you're losing back.
