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.
03:51Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:57As a sight I heard, I never see.
04:03Mm-hm.
04:09Mm-hm.
04:10Mm-hm.
04:11Mm-hm.
04:12Mm-hm.
04:12Mm-hm.
04:12Mm-hm.
04:14Mm-hm.
04:16Mm-hm.
04:20Mm-hm.
04:21Mm-hm.
04:22Mm-hm.
04:43It's not as easy as it looks.
04:47that's exactly what the king said
04:52i remember
04:56do you suppose i could borrow it for a couple of days just to practice
05:03borrow it ma'am from whom if it's not yours whose is it
05:18you
06:46Ready?
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?
07:21Pilot'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, Charles.
08:41Honestly, 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 an input and ideas.
09:08Inspire everyone.
09:09Leave them.
09:10They won't listen to me.
09:12The grey old men, the men with moustaches, they hate me.
09:19They do not hate you.
09:21They do.
09:23They treat me as an outsider.
09:26In irrelevance.
09:28Everyone does.
09:46Total control or nothing at all.
09:49Those are my turns.
09:56All right.
10:00But don't go mad.
10:03What does that mean?
10:04It means just don't go mad.
10:09Coronation.
10:10A service which goes back a thousand years.
10:14Some things can't be changed.
10:16Yes, yes, yes.
10:17All right.
10:26All right.
10:33When did you move in?
10:34The city of Paris owns the property, you know.
10:39And happily, the city very kindly let us take the house for a small amount of rent.
10:45So we moved in by summer's end?
10:47You must have been thrilled, your highness.
10:50Not your highness.
10:52Oh.
10:53So point.
10:54Just a duchess.
10:56Not age or age.
10:59So, ma'am.
11:01Ma'am.
11:02Or your grace.
11:07What made you choose this particular house?
11:09It has a two-acre park, which gives us privacy.
11:12And its size means the Duke and I can finally entertain properly, and we very much enjoy entertaining.
11:18The duchess is so very good at it.
11:20I believe our editor agreed, as part of the deal, that you would give our readers some tips for entertaining.
11:27Did we agree there?
11:28We did, darling, yes.
11:30We paid extra.
11:33Big smiles.
11:36Perfect.
11:38Well, having had a naval background, I don't much care for fussy things or smells, but I do like a
11:47good, well-milled soap.
11:53What sartorial tips would you give the young men of today?
11:56No matter what the fashion, a well-cut suit in a beautiful fabric will take you anywhere.
12:05Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?
12:12You're very fortunate.
12:14He lets no one in here.
12:17It's his private room, full of secrets.
12:20Oh, not secrets, darling.
12:21Memories.
12:22Precious memories.
12:26I come in here for a few moments every day to meditate and remember.
12:35Goodness.
12:36Bagpipes, too.
12:38Yes, I play.
12:40When he gets homesick.
12:43My favorite armchair.
12:47And the briefcase?
12:49Box.
12:51As monarch, one receives a daily red box from the government.
12:58State papers.
13:00Business of the day.
13:02Matters requiring royal assent.
13:05That was the final box I received as king.
13:09It contained my education papers.
13:13And all these photographs of you as king.
13:16There are none with the crown.
13:17Why is that?
13:19Well, I never made it that far.
13:27I never had a coronation.
13:36Oh, I forgot to mention.
13:38I had a call today from Sir John Weir.
13:42Who?
13:44My mother's doctor.
13:47Telling me that, in his opinion,
13:49she was in her final days now.
13:53That my sister and I should make our way over.
13:57With me?
14:02Probably best without.
14:09Even if she dies?
14:13Let's hope she dies.
14:16I couldn't bear to go over twice.
14:19I shall have to be brave.
14:24My darling one.
14:32Go without you.
14:36To cold London.
14:39Brutal London.
14:43Hellish London.
14:58Shall we fuck?
15:00Shall we fuck?
15:17The Lord's Great Chamberlain, the Lord Chamberlain, the Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps, and the Comptroller, Your Majesty.
15:25I've asked you to join me, because I've made a decision regarding the Coronation Committee.
15:31Which is that I would like my husband to be the chairman of that committee.
15:41That's impossible, ma'am. There can only be one chairman.
15:45As far as I'm aware, I only have one husband.
15:49And the Duke of Norfolk will be expecting it to be him. He is the Earl Marshal.
15:54That may be.
15:55And the Chief Butler of England. He would be the 16th Duke of Norfolk to do it.
16:01He ran your father's coronation. His father ran your grandfather's.
16:07And running the coronation, that's what the Norfolks do.
16:13Couldn't you give Philip some other job?
16:16Like what?
16:20Arrange the photographer?
16:27The chairmanship is what he wants. With full autonomy.
16:32Therefore, it is what I want.
16:35Norfolk can be vice-chair.
16:36Why don't you think about it?
16:39I have.
16:40And my decision stands.
16:50Well, of course, the Duke of Norfolk will be furious.
16:53Yes.
16:55And Bernard does fury so well.
16:57What would your majesty suggest?
17:01I will throw my hat in.
17:03The Bernard and sanity will prevail.
17:06The Queen is young.
17:08And has to learn what any young general has to learn.
17:12Namely?
17:14Which battles to fight and which to leave.
17:19Well, let me know what you want me to do.
17:22Same as always, Tommy.
17:25Exactly as I tell you.
17:28Now, I've spoken to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
17:32who's agreed to help us with our other delicate matter,
17:36the Duke of Windsor.
17:39When does he arrive?
17:41This afternoon, I believe.
17:42God help us.
17:44And when will you meet him?
17:46We thought tomorrow, though.
17:49Good.
17:51Sooner the better.
17:53Be sure to be firm, Tommy.
17:55Yes, ma'am.
17:56That one's like mercury.
17:58They'll slip through the tiniest crack.
18:06Good afternoon.
18:08I've returned to London
18:10to visit my mother, Queen Mary,
18:14who I'm delighted to say
18:16has made such good improvement
18:18in recent days.
18:21Thank 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.
18:52Each day, I call on Mama in the afternoon.
18:56And although she doesn't look quite as bad
18:58as the doctors warn me,
19:00she'll never again be able to leave her rooms,
19:03far less go out in public.
19:07and that's all I have to say.
19:22I love you, sir.
19:24What?
19:39It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to endure, and spending so much time with
19:45a woman who has been so vicious and inhumane to you, my beloved, is wearing me down.
19:52Amen.
19:59Sorry to disturb you, Your Royal Highness.
20:02What is it?
20:03The Archbishop of Canterbury's private secretary called, sir, requesting a meeting between
20:07you and His Grace.
20:09Oh, what about?
20:10It didn't say, sir.
20:13He hoped you could make tomorrow.
20:15Fine, I have a few errands planned, but the Archbishop can come to lunch.
20:21As a matter of fact, they suggested 4pm.
20:24Well, all right, we'll give him tea.
20:28At Lambeth Palace.
20:32Of course.
20:35Now I'm no longer king.
20:37I go to them.
20:44Good night, Your Royal Highness.
20:58Good night.
21:00Good night, Your Royal Highness.
21:05Good night.
21:05Good night.
21:06Good night.
21:07Good night.
21:22his royal highness the duke of windsor your grace goodness what is this an ambush
21:30not at all sir you're not just a gathering of old friends who come together to appeal to you
21:38in person in the hope that you will do what we all think would be
21:47the right thing
21:51regarding what the coronation
21:57what about the coronation
22:03we acknowledge as a as a member of the queen's close family you are entitled to attend
22:14but also feel that the attendance at this sacred ceremony by one who however good his reasons
22:24did not feel capable of undertaking the obligations himself well it could strike a wrong note and would
22:41be deeply upsetting to whom to everyone concern i didn't ask you tommy this is cookies work isn't
22:49it the queen mother's it's got her pudgy little fingers all over it she asked you to do her dirty
22:58work for her and you agreed archbishop shame on you i will attend if i want and i do want
23:04and so does my
23:05her wife alas no sir of course the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you as a
23:13royal
23:13duke but that obligation does not extend to the duchess of windsor and it is my duty to inform you
23:20on behalf of the royal family and the government with whom we have worked in close consultation
23:25that she will not be offered an invitation
23:30oh it's maddening
23:34the
23:36pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits
23:3917 years have elapsed since the abdication
23:46shouldn't bygones be bygones some 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
24:32maternity 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
24:54and 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
25:11it is simply the same as the choice that 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
26:04you old lang swine
26:08how full of cant you are
26:11a rhyme composed for your perfidious predecessor
26:15at the time of my abdication
26:17i find the sentiment oddly applicable to you
26:21too
26:38if i were to release a statement
26:41could you have a look over it
26:43of course
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 magisters and get back to you
27:30we've just had a call from mulgrass
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
27:51then 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
28:02she 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 they were most like
28:31not entirely
28:32i told shirley temple what i had my eye on
28:36but as i shan be there when the jackals descend
28:40i don't suppose it will do much good
28:42what a vile tawdry rabble my relatives are
28:47and what a sad desiccated bunch of hyenas most 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 as 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
29:34proving 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 not on detail
30:02but one guest
30:04like
30:07and she always regarded herself
30:10as a servant of our country
30:13which she served
30:15to the end
30:17no sooner does someone in the family of pop their clogs
30:20they ask themselves right
30:21how's it done last time
30:22and it's done exactly the same way again
30:24the people who have come to share in it
30:30are 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
30:38in 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
31:14for the resurrection of the day
31:17and the resurrection of the day
31:19through our lord jesus christ
31:21change our refiled body
31:24and the resurrection of the day
31:35Ladies and gentlemen.
31:38Ladies and gentlemen.
31:41Ladies and gentlemen.
32:02We should go.
32:19Good morning.
32:20Sorry, my man.
32:23What's up?
32:25What is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old tonians?
32:33A herd pack.
32:37A school.
33:08gentlemen i'd like to start by saying how very honored i feel to be working with all the great
33:14minds and talents here in this room today as we come together to organize the very best coronation
33:19for my wife queen we all know the scale of the challenge that faces us the eyes of the world
33:29will be on us britain will be on show and we must put our best foot forward
33:37in such circumstances the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent set by
33:44the grand and successful coronations of the past but looking to the past for our inspiration would
33:53be a mistake in my view britain today is not the britain of past coronations assumptions made at
34:00the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made anymore
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
34:20we have a new sovereign young and a woman let us give her a coronation that is befitting
34:28of the wind of change that she represents modern and forward-looking at a moment in time where
34:36exciting technological developments are making things possible we never dreamt of which brings
34:41me to my next point
34:56it's a unconscionable vulgarization
35:05how close are you proposing that these cameras get they will be kept at a very discreet distance
35:11no no close up son
35:16zoom lenses oh 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
35:59we can both see what's going on here a young couple are playing marital games with the most
36:04cherished parts of our history and pageantry our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these
36:11radical proposals television 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 why what else has he proposed
36:40prime minister your majesty
37:02please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband
37:06i told him not to go mad
37:10no one is questioning the duke of edinburgh's motives or the sincerity of his beliefs
37:17i see he went mad
37:20the changes he is proposing to 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 it would be applauded but this isn't a business it's the crown
37:45and one has to ask oneself what is the purpose of the crown what is the purpose of the monarchy
37:54does the crown bend to the will of the people to be audited and accountable
37:59or should it remain above temporal matters
38:08what say you
38:13no ma'am
38:16what say you
38:19the decision is yours to make
38:23we will take our lead from you
38:26what say you
39:09I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
39:27what is this hide and seek i told you not to overstep the mark and i made it clear
39:31can't blanch or nothing at all trade unionists and businessmen in the abbey
39:35if you want to stay on the throne yes in a trim down televised coronation if you want to avoid
39:41a revolution yes you forget i have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown
39:47because they're out of step with the people i left greece in an orange crate my father would
39:51have been killed my grandfather was i'm just trying to protect you from whom the british people
39:57you have no idea who they are or what they want oh oh i'm just johnny foreigner again who doesn't
40:03understand fine fine you want a big overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of
40:07the country is on rations have it but don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of
40:13our children are on spikes if the people are hungry they want something that lifts them up
40:18and how do you propose lifting them if they cannot see it the people look to the monarchy for
40:24something bigger than themselves an inspiration a higher ideal if you put it in their homes
40:30allow them to watch it with their dinner on their laps democratize it make them feel that they share
40:35it understand it understand it all right right i'll support you in the terror rising
40:46you won't regret it on one condition
40:53that you kneel
41:07who told you my prime minister he said you intended to refuse no i merely asked the question
41:15whether it was right in this day and age that the queen's consort her husband should kneel to her
41:20rather than stand beside her you won't be kneeling to me that's not how it will look that's not how
41:27it will feel it will feel like a eunuch an amoeba is kneeling before his wife you'll be kneeling
41:31before god and the crown as we all do i don't see you kneeling before anyone i'm not kneeling because
41:36i'm already flattened under the weight of this thing oh spare me the false humility doesn't look like
41:40that to me how does it look to you looks to me like you're enjoying it it's released an unattractive
41:45sense of authority and entitlement that i have never seen before and in you it's released a weakness
