00:01:02Half a million people
00:01:06At a racecourse
00:01:11Next to the coronation, your sister
00:01:14Is now the most famous woman in the world
00:01:18Yes
00:01:23I'm the luckiest
00:01:27Not on our romantic trip to Reducia
00:01:30Official duty to Reducia
00:01:32With the man I love
00:01:34Secretly love
00:01:36I will be the happiest
00:01:52I've got a story, Chief
00:01:54It's important
00:01:55As long as it's not about the royal family
00:01:57Bill, I'm all ears
00:01:58It is about the royal family, Chief
00:01:59Oh, let me guess
00:02:01Our thanks to one beautiful young woman
00:02:03One short televised ceremony
00:02:06Oh, thank you, Bob
00:02:07A tired, anachronistic institution
00:02:10Is rejuvenated
00:02:11A nation is liberated
00:02:13From the austerity of rationing and war
00:02:15Our place as a leading power in the world
00:02:18Is re-established just when it seemed to be slipping
00:02:20What a load of bollocks
00:02:21Snifter?
00:02:23I shouldn't
00:02:23Oh, go on
00:02:24It's nearly lunchtime
00:02:25Papers, sir
00:02:26Thanks, Mary
00:02:27My job
00:02:28It's Princess Margaret
00:02:29What about her?
00:02:31Leaving the abbey on the day of the coronation
00:02:33I saw her picking a piece of fluff off a man's uniform
00:02:36Fluff?
00:02:38Yes, fluff
00:02:39Jesus, Bill
00:02:39I thought we did serious reporting here
00:02:41This is serious
00:02:42Because the man in question
00:02:44Her father's former query group captain Peter Townsend
00:02:48Is a commoner
00:02:49And, wait for it
00:02:51A divorced commoner
00:02:54Historically
00:02:55When this lot brush up against divorce
00:02:57You end up with either reformation or abdication
00:02:59Will church and state clash again?
00:03:02It's a big story
00:03:03So are comet jet planes dropping out of the sky
00:03:06Stalin's death ushering in a power reshuffle in the Soviet Union
00:03:10Then write it up, Chief
00:03:12I've got a feeling about this one
00:03:13Based on what?
00:03:19What are you doing, man?
00:03:20Picking fluff off a man's jacket
00:03:23That's a gesture as intimate as a kiss
00:03:26More intimate
00:03:26Since it suggests the kiss has already happened
00:03:31No, I'm sorry, Bill
00:03:32I can't hold the front page for a bit of fluff
00:03:34Let me write it, Chief
00:03:36Then you decide
00:03:44Make sure it's peppery
00:03:46Make sure it pops
00:03:47Yes, sir
00:03:48No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:06sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:06sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:07sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:07sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm
00:04:07sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
00:05:45Certainly, sir.
00:05:48Sir.
00:05:49Princess Margaret for Her Majesty.
00:06:17Hello?
00:06:18I have Her Royal Highness, the Princess Margaret for Her Majesty.
00:06:22Yes, sir. Breakfast room.
00:06:24Breakfast room?
00:06:25Yes, sir.
00:06:26I have a telephone call for you, ma'am.
00:06:34Yes?
00:06:36Her Royal Highness, the Princess Margaret, Your Majesty.
00:06:42Hello, you.
00:06:44Hello, you.
00:06:47So, I was wondering if you had a free evening soon where we all might have dinner together,
00:06:51before I go to Rhodesia.
00:06:52I'm sure I do.
00:06:54Thursday?
00:06:55Mummy's out.
00:06:56I'd have to check.
00:06:58Lovely.
00:06:59And who's us all?
00:07:02Well, you and me and Philip and, um, and I would like to bring Peter, if I may.
00:07:09What, Peter, Peter?
00:07:11Yes, Peter.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14Well, what does that mean, O?
00:07:16Nothing.
00:07:17Oh, how nice.
00:07:19Is there something we'd like to discuss with you?
00:07:22Eh?
00:07:23There you go again.
00:07:25Sorry.
00:07:26Am I going to be given a clue?
00:07:29No.
00:07:31Oh.
00:07:32Stop it.
00:07:33Sorry.
00:07:35So, Thursday evening, then, you'll check.
00:07:37Fine.
00:07:42It'll be such fun.
00:07:46Lovely.
00:07:51Lovely.
00:08:03Yeah.
00:08:31What's your name, then?
00:08:33Thank you, gentlemen.
00:08:35Thank you very much, gentlemen.
00:08:41A special guest joins us this afternoon, who's just returned from a year in post-revolutionary
00:08:46Cairo, working as a photojournalist.
00:08:49Our fellow lunch club member, Tony Long.
00:08:52Oh, my God!
00:08:56Thank you, chaps.
00:08:57It's very nice to be back, I must say.
00:08:59Ladies, might we close the shutters?
00:09:01Oh, my God!
00:09:08I am, as Baron says, fresh from the streets of Cairo, and I'm still trying to digest the
00:09:15hurricane of popular uprising, violent military coup and revolution that I've just witnessed.
00:09:21Bloody native.
00:09:22You all know King Farouk.
00:09:25Colourful character.
00:09:26He owned more than a hundred cars.
00:09:29Almost as much as me.
00:09:31Had them all painted red.
00:09:33Splendid.
00:09:33He used to race them through the streets of Cairo, shooting at any pedestrians who happened
00:09:38to get in his way.
00:09:39Yeah.
00:09:40Present shoot.
00:09:43Probably why he was forced to abdicate last year.
00:09:47And now this man, Nasser, is the name on everyone's lips.
00:09:53He has the charisma to unite not just his own country, but the entire Arab world, stirring
00:09:59up anti-Western, anti-monarchical sentiments.
00:10:07This is Shepherds, a famous British hotel, a symbol of colonial rule, before riots, and after.
00:10:22That writing, what does it say?
00:10:29Death to the imperialists.
00:10:35However, it's not all doom and gloom.
00:10:38Mike, I've got something a little special for you here.
00:11:05Thank you, Mr.
00:11:08Don't tell my wife.
00:11:11Good tip.
00:11:18Where were you today?
00:11:20Nowhere.
00:11:20Well, clearly somewhere, but nowhere that would interest you.
00:11:23It's a lunch club.
00:11:25Where?
00:11:27Soho.
00:11:30Oh.
00:11:33With just men.
00:11:36Talking about women.
00:11:38No.
00:11:40Talking about Egypt, if you must know, and the revolution that's just taken place there.
00:11:44Along with the unrest in Croatia, Albania, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Italy.
00:11:51Please take note.
00:11:55Yes, a little bit about the fairer sex over coffee and the odd brandy.
00:12:00What do you expect?
00:12:01It's your gentleman's lunch club.
00:12:12So what's the guest list for tonight?
00:12:14No one.
00:12:15Just you, me, Margaret, and Peter.
00:12:18What?
00:12:19Townsend Peter?
00:12:20No.
00:12:21Then why on earth did we have to dress up?
00:12:23She insisted.
00:12:25She wanted to make it a special occasion.
00:12:27With him, isn't that a contradiction in terms?
00:12:31He's not going to naughty boy, is he?
00:12:35I know as much as you do.
00:12:51It'll be fine.
00:13:02Come on.
00:13:10We'd like to be left alone now.
00:13:12Yes, ma'am.
00:13:16Can you just leave it?
00:13:44I asked you here tonight because there is something I wanted to discuss with you.
00:13:50I think you already know that over the years, with Peter being so much part of our family
00:13:54and away from his own so much, friendship has developed between us.
00:14:04And then ever since Papa's death hitting me so hard and with your accession and coronation
00:14:10and you being more and more occupied, Peter's become almost my sole companion.
00:14:17And I his.
00:14:21And so when his divorce came through in December last year, I suppose it was only natural that
00:14:26we both started thinking about what kind of future we might have together.
00:14:35And we reached a decision in April, wasn't it?
00:14:38Just before the coronation.
00:14:41Um, that, uh, one day, we wanted to, um, you know.
00:14:57Mary?
00:14:59Yes.
00:15:01Oh, goodness.
00:15:05Well, of course, we're aware of the complications and issues at stake and...
00:15:17what a little bit you've known for a while about Peter and I.
00:15:21This can't really be a terrible shock to you.
00:15:26No, not at all.
00:15:29It's wonderful.
00:15:31Is there anything you'd like to ask us?
00:15:33Does your wife know?
00:15:35Your ex-wife?
00:15:37She does.
00:15:37We had a frank conversation.
00:15:39There is no animosity.
00:15:40Good.
00:15:41And the boys?
00:15:43They know and seem very happy.
00:15:50So?
00:15:53Do I have your permission?
00:15:57A sovereign?
00:16:08Well, uh, of course, I'll have to take advice.
00:16:15And the hows and where's and all official matters.
00:16:21But if it's what you desire, more than anything in the world.
00:16:31Well, then, as your sister, I'm never going to oppose it.
00:16:34Oh, thank you.
00:16:36Thank you!
00:16:39I think you're so happy.
00:16:41So happy.
00:16:42Very well.
00:16:44Congratulations.
00:16:45It's a birthday.
00:16:48Thank you, sir.
00:16:50I suppose it'd better be Philip from now on.
00:16:52Thank you, sir.
00:16:52Oh, Philip.
00:17:01You knew.
00:17:05Not the extent of it.
00:17:09But you didn't think to mention it.
00:17:15I don't like it.
00:17:17Any of it.
00:17:18For one thing, it will create the most enormous scandal.
00:17:21Nor do I believe in them as a couple.
00:17:22He's too old for her.
00:17:24And he had some sort of breakdown during the war.
00:17:27Now, that's all in the past.
00:17:29Besides, that's why he got on with my father so well.
00:17:32Not to mention the fact he's dull.
00:17:34He's not dull.
00:17:36Desperately dull.
00:17:37I'm confident I've met more interesting plants.
00:17:40Not to mention it's a terrible thing to do to you.
00:17:43Why?
00:17:45Because of the position it puts you in as a sister and as a queen.
00:17:50Has everyone forgotten the catastrophe that was your uncle already?
00:17:52Oh, the situation's different.
00:17:55One party divorced.
00:17:57The other royal.
00:18:00Sounds pretty similar to me.
00:18:02That was 17 years ago.
00:18:04The world has changed.
00:18:06The rest of the world has.
00:18:07Nothing changes in the court of St. James.
00:18:11Besides, we have a son and heir.
00:18:14There's no realistic prospect of Margaret becoming queen.
00:18:19One can see the attraction.
00:18:24In Peter.
00:18:26Yes.
00:18:28He's a handsome war hero.
00:18:31Divorced war hero.
00:18:33And blameless in that divorce.
00:18:35No, no, no.
00:18:35There's no such thing as the blameless party in a divorce.
00:18:39His wife had an affair with another man.
00:18:42Because he was always around here sniffing around your sister.
00:18:46He was looking after my father.
00:18:48And sniffing around your sister.
00:18:50Sorry.
00:18:53I thought you liked him.
00:18:55Oh, liked him.
00:18:57I mean, I respect him for what he did in the war, certainly.
00:19:01Plays Bridgewell and he's a good pilot.
00:19:05And he's a good influence on Margaret.
00:19:07Is he?
00:19:08If he were really a good influence,
00:19:10he'd patch things up with his wife
00:19:11and leave Margaret well alone.
00:19:30Good night, Bill.
00:19:32Good night.
00:19:56Good night, son.
00:19:58Good night, son.
00:20:02It is.
00:20:06Bloody hell.
00:20:08You did say peppery.
00:20:10Pepper's one thing.
00:20:12This is jelly night.
00:20:13I know.
00:20:22What are you doing?
00:20:23I can't run this without going upstairs.
00:20:25What?
00:20:26Don't look at me like that.
00:20:27Live in the real bloody world for a moment, will you?
00:20:32Marjorie, hello.
00:20:33No, yes.
00:20:34Is he there?
00:20:35Yeah, just for a few minutes.
00:20:40This is not just inflammatory.
00:20:43It breaks all the rules.
00:20:44What rules, sir?
00:20:45The unspoken rules of deference and respect
00:20:49shown by the media to the royal family.
00:20:51But surely those rules changed
00:20:53the moment they invited television into the coronation.
00:20:55That was their right.
00:20:57And a huge concession.
00:20:58To what?
00:20:59Popular interests.
00:21:01Their interests also.
00:21:03Look at their standing now.
00:21:04It's never been higher.
00:21:05The question we in the fourth estate
00:21:07need to be asking ourselves is,
00:21:09do we let ourselves be used
00:21:11or do we have our own independent voice?
00:21:13Don't get moralistic with me.
00:21:15If we don't break this story,
00:21:17do you think nobody else will?
00:21:19I know there's plenty of others sniffing around it, sir.
00:21:29Well, thank you for letting me know.
00:21:31Of course, Tommy.
00:21:32Thank you for understanding.
00:21:35I'm sorry.
00:21:36No, I'm sorry.
00:21:38I imagine it must be difficult
00:21:39being dictated to like that by an employee.
00:21:42I wasn't dictated to.
00:21:44Am I missing something?
00:21:45You said this editor was telling you
00:21:47what he was going to print in your newspaper.
00:21:49He is?
00:21:50But I can't keep telling him what to write.
00:21:53I thought that was the point of owning a newspaper.
00:21:56Look, I'm just trying to help you, Tommy.
00:21:59I suggest you see this
00:22:00for the kind gesture that it is.
00:22:02What, that you're about to print an article
00:22:04that will cause deep distress to senior,
00:22:07let's be quite clear,
00:22:08the most senior members of the royal family?
00:22:11That I'm warning you,
00:22:12that I'm giving you the heads up?
00:22:15I'm on my knees with gratitude.
00:22:42I'm on my knees with gratitude.
00:23:13You sat there.
00:23:38Your Majesty, a story is about to break in the press,
00:23:44identifying Peter Townsend not just as the companion of Princess Margaret,
00:23:52but as her likely future husband.
00:23:57We understand that the paper is to feature a profile of Group Captain Townsend,
00:24:04details of his marriage and subsequent divorce,
00:24:09along with an editorial about other notable divorcees
00:24:14to have been associated with members of the royal family.
00:24:26Should we deny it all?
00:24:31With respect, ma'am, it's a little late for that.
00:24:35This horse has already bolted.
00:24:45Your Royal Highness.
00:24:55Your Royal Highness.
00:25:00Her Majesty the Queen for you, Your Royal Highness.
00:25:03On the telephone.
00:25:11Hello.
00:25:12Hello, you.
00:25:13Bad time, good time?
00:25:14Mm-hmm.
00:25:15Good time.
00:25:17Always.
00:25:19Look, I've been racking my brain about how I can best help you.
00:25:22Now, you know that the Church of England doesn't permit the remarriage of divorced persons
00:25:26if the husband or wife of the former marriage is still alive.
00:25:30Yes.
00:25:30Well, I was just wondering if you and Peter had considered Scotland.
00:25:34To live?
00:25:36No, for the wedding.
00:25:38Why?
00:25:39Because it would be more low profile.
00:25:41Well, actually, I was thinking of legal reasons.
00:25:44Marriage isn't regarded as a sacrament in the Church of Scotland.
00:25:47It's not as binding in the same way as here.
00:25:53Meaning, meaning we could even get married in a church.
00:25:55Well, I'd have to check, but I think so.
00:25:59That would be so lovely.
00:26:02Lilibet, thank you so much.
00:26:06Made my life a lot easier, too.
00:26:12Sorry, Lilibet.
00:26:14What for?
00:26:16I think you're going to get a visit from Mummy about all this.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:21I realise I'm not making anyone's life easy.
00:26:25Yours especially.
00:26:28But I'm determined to do this for you.
00:26:31To give you what you want.
00:26:37Can't wait to tell Peter.
00:26:39Better go.
00:26:40Okay.
00:26:55Help me.
00:26:56You understood?
00:27:11Come on, you stood.
00:27:18Mummy, this is a surprise.
00:27:25I am a mother of two daughters whom I love equally.
00:27:29It seems that they each have problems of equal size.
00:27:36Obviously, we want Margaret to be happy and have the man she wants.
00:27:40Yes.
00:27:40But we must do everything in our power to protect you as queen and as a sister.
00:27:49Protect me from what?
00:27:51I've given Margaret my word and I'm determined to support her.
00:27:55They can marry in Scotland, where I'm not head of the church.
00:27:59Your Majesty, I fear the matter is more intricate.
00:28:03Let's be quite clear.
00:28:05If Margaret were to marry Peter, it would be a scandal.
00:28:09You don't mistake your current popularity for long-term security.
00:28:15Your uncle's affair and abdication almost destroyed the monarch.
00:28:20This good, too.
00:28:25Tommy.
00:28:33Ma'am, what do you know about the Royal Marriages Act of 1772?
00:28:38George II.
00:28:39Third, ma'am.
00:28:41He had two younger brothers, William and Henry.
00:28:44Both of whom, I'm assuming, made undesirable marriages.
00:28:47One to an illegitimate shrew, the other to a disreputable jade, which caused an outrage in Parliament and the Church.
00:28:55Now, in response, George III asked his Prime Minister, Lord North, to rush through a Royal Marriages Act to prevent
00:29:02any future willful young prince or princess from making an ill-advised or disadvantageous match, which might threaten the integrity
00:29:11of the Royal House.
00:29:12It decrees that until the age of 25, any member of the Royal Family must secure the Sovereign's permission to
00:29:20marry.
00:29:25But?
00:29:26But not thereafter.
00:29:30I see.
00:29:31So, if Margaret would wait until after her 25th birthday, she would be free to make any decision she likes
00:29:39without your consent.
00:29:42The important thing is, it protects your relationship with both Church and Government.
00:29:50Well, I can see the advantages of that, but what's in it for her?
00:29:56Mummy, she's only 23.
00:29:58What does she do in the meantime?
00:30:01In the meantime, she and Peter wait.
00:30:06Preferably in separate countries.
00:30:09What?
00:30:10It's the only way to contain the story, ma'am.
00:30:28Thank you, sir.
00:30:46Good morning, sir.
00:30:46Out of my way.
00:30:58Good morning, sir.
00:30:58Out of my way.
00:31:04Good morning, sir.
00:31:20No!
00:31:26Margaret!
00:31:30Just until your 25th birthday.
00:31:32Then you'd be free to do as you wish.
00:31:35Look with the eye and tell me.
00:31:37Is it a posting or is it a banishment?
00:31:39It's a posting.
00:31:41I promise.
00:31:44It's just a way of managing the story, keeping it off the front pages.
00:31:48The heartless attempt to split us up.
00:31:50No, of course not.
00:31:52Papa did the same for Philip and me.
00:31:54He made us wait.
00:31:55This is for two years.
00:31:58Two years!
00:32:07Why did you even dangle Scotland under my nose?
00:32:15Sorry.
00:32:41All right.
00:32:45If I do this for you, will you promise me that this banishment...
00:32:50Postures?
00:32:51This banishment won't start until after I took to Adesia.
00:32:53You know how much we've been looking forward to it.
00:33:01You're going to deny that as well.
00:33:04It's a sensitivity of you two together.
00:33:07The photographers who would overshadow everything.
00:33:11But when you get back, you'll have some time together.
00:33:16Alone.
00:33:18I promise you that.
00:33:32But when you throw it up, I would take a thought.
00:33:34Then there's a friend that had to Speak Up's walk that way.
00:33:34Does it not believe if a tiger can respond?
00:33:35Perfect.この
00:33:37theycharged the Amazone in his arms. That
00:33:38was kind of where I would kill him. Those
00:33:39will not speak up. Sure
00:33:39be sure he doesn't start. That
00:33:39a real threat! That
00:33:40was a treat. Oh,
00:33:40no moon, never Iran. That was
00:33:41a fini rat. Very is
00:33:41turning them out. I love you,
00:33:45Jessica and others. That was one of
00:33:46my friends,esar. Do you
00:33:46look into
00:33:46your arms? That was a super
00:33:48seat sana in front page note.

00:34:07i refused that too
00:34:11then they came back with brussels
00:34:15it's dreary but at least it's close the whole thing feels like a completely unnecessary
00:34:22unjustifiable punishment i know perhaps your sister sensed that
00:34:29that is why she's asked me to go to normal island what for to accompany her on a trip to
00:34:35belfast
00:34:35this week to put on a show of public approval that's something i suppose
00:34:45no substitute for a dizzy though

00:36:52i do hope it wasn't a mistake inviting the group captain to join us
00:37:00you've never cared for him tommy no i cared for him as long as he did his job and knew
00:37:04his place
00:37:07my father held him in high regard as a member of staff not as a member of the family
00:37:14he's been a good friend to us all too good i would argue and he let his wife go in
00:37:19the process
00:37:22he was innocent in that regard she left of her own accord and he's a wonderful father to those boys
00:37:29i'm just trying to manage a difficult situation now as am i sending him away will break my sister's heart

00:37:56you
00:38:04you
00:38:05you
00:38:36The Majesty now walks towards three-year-old Eileen Hall, who presents her with a bouquet.
00:38:42The Queen, who wears a coat of vivid blue shantan with a matching hat, finds herself sharing the limelight with
00:38:48Group Captain Townsend, who accompanies her on the tour.
00:38:52The crowd get a last glimpse of the Queen and her husband before they begin the drive to City Hall.
00:38:57En route, thousands pack the streets to put them welcome.
00:39:05The royal couple are welcomed onto Balmoral's showground, where 4,000 ex-servicemen and women are gathered to pay tribute
00:39:12to their sovereign.
00:39:13Many Ulster schools and youth organizations are represented, and they all have a smile and a wave for the Queen.
00:39:22As London Papers called once more today for a statement from Buckingham Palace to clarify the rumors of a romance
00:39:28between Princess Margaret and Group Captain Townsend,
00:39:30newspaper editors from all over the world sent their photographers to scrutinize Townsend's face, hoping for a clue.
00:39:44The Queen can't be used to sharing the limelight with a member of her household, but the gathered crowds certainly
00:39:49seem as interested in Group Captain Townsend, as in Her Majesty.
00:39:58Territable.
00:39:59Certain of us.
00:40:00The crowds have to jostle with members of the press and television who are following the royal parties every move.
00:40:09I brought him along to show my gratitude for his years of service, and to support my sister, and I
00:40:15had hoped the detention of Margaret and Peter would fade away, but I could barely hear myself speak today.
00:40:22Now the solution is an obvious one.
00:40:25Which is?
00:40:26Bring forward the Group Captain's relocation with immediate effect.
00:40:30But that would mean him missing his reunion with my sister in London, and I gave her my word.
00:40:37Well, sometimes best intentions need to be reconsidered, Your Majesty.
00:40:42You can always blame it on me.
00:40:46No.
00:40:48Let's do it ten to four hours.
00:40:50Things might calm down tomorrow.
00:41:20Let's go.
00:41:30Let's go.
00:41:59Let's go.
00:42:03Let's go.

00:45:28Let's go.
00:45:39Let's go.
00:45:50Group Captain Townsend
00:45:56The man of the moment
00:46:01Do come up
00:46:12Will you sit?
00:46:24Following consultation with the government, the Foreign Office and Her Majesty's Press Secretary
00:46:30The decision's been taken to move forward your posting to Brussels with immediate effect
00:46:35A car is waiting to take you first to your apartment, where you will pack, and then directly to the
00:46:40airfield
00:46:41The plane from Brussels leaves in just under three hours
00:46:45There was some concern that that might not give you enough time
00:46:48But I felt sure that as a military man, packing quickly and unsentimentally would come a second nature to you
00:46:59But that isn't what was agreed
00:47:03The agreement between Margaret and Her Majesty the Queen, with the certain knowledge of Her Majesty the Queen Mother
00:47:09Was that Margaret and I would spend some time together upon her return from Modesia
00:47:14Before I travelled to Brussels, 48 hours at least
00:47:19Your proposal is a direct contravention of that agreement
00:47:23Well, I cannot nor ever presume to know the intimate details of whatever agreements have or have not been made
00:47:32within the family
00:47:33What I can tell you is the position of Air Attaché at the Embassy fell vacant unexpectedly early and needs
00:47:39filling right away
00:47:41Of course, a crucial position like the Air Attaché to the Embassy at Brussels cannot be left vacant for very
00:47:49long
00:47:50I ask, only that it remains so until after the Princess returns, as I was promised
00:48:00I'm afraid that will not be possible
00:48:19I understand you are only trying to do your job
00:48:23But one thing the trip to Northern Ireland has made very clear to me
00:48:27Is that the romance between Margaret and myself has caught the public eye
00:48:33There is a momentum for us
00:48:37A sense of joy, a celebration, which you would be wise to acknowledge
00:48:41The people can clearly see the sincerity of the love between Margaret and me
00:48:46And I would advise you not to reprehend us for that
00:48:49Such an act could backfire
00:48:52And now, if I may give you some advice in turn, Peter
00:48:58That when referring to a member of the Royal Family, you use the appropriate title
00:49:02In this case, Her Royal Highness
00:49:05When referring to the woman I love, and who loves me, and who is soon to be my wife
00:49:09I'll call her what I damn well like
00:49:12Her name is Margaret
00:49:18Car, Townsend

00:52:17Switchboard.
00:52:18Her Royal Highness needs to make an urgent call to Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:21A secure line will be required.
00:52:23Putting you through.
00:52:25Foreign Office, her mayor, direct your call.
00:52:28Buckingham Palace, Victoria 4832.
00:52:33I have Her Royal Highness the Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:36Sir?
00:52:39Sir?
00:52:42Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen on a secure line.
00:52:46Of course.
00:52:48What's taking so long?
00:52:49Well, I gather we have the secure line, ma'am.
00:52:51They're just having trouble locating Her Majesty.
00:52:53It could be so difficult.
00:52:54She's the Queen.
00:52:55Very conspicuous.
00:52:57She can't disappear.
00:53:16The Queen.
00:53:20The Queen.
00:53:25The Queen.
00:53:28The Queen.
00:53:28The Queen.
00:53:28The Queen.
00:53:29Sandringham House.
00:53:30Good evening.
00:53:32Yes, sir.
00:53:33She's here.
00:53:34Arrived about an hour ago.
00:53:38Yes, sir.
00:53:39Right away.
00:53:42Yes, sir.
00:54:03Right away.
00:54:05But we're really trying not to let the captain again.
00:54:09Well, I think he's a little bit inexperienced.
00:54:11With the trucking?
00:54:12Yes, I do.
00:54:14Telephone, Your Majesty.
00:54:15Right.
00:54:16Yes, I'd like you to skip recorded for the first quarter mile for a morning.
00:54:19Yes, ma'am.
00:54:22And then we might have to think about pairing him with another rider.
00:54:25Yes, ma'am.
00:54:27Yes?
00:54:28How could you?
00:54:30Margaret.
00:54:30You gave me your word.
00:54:32Promised me he'd still be there when I got back.
00:54:34I did.
00:54:34Why has he been sent away?
00:54:36Banished like some criminal.
00:54:38Things got out of hand.
00:54:40I took you at your word.
00:54:42Believed everything you said.
00:54:44How happy you were for me.
00:54:46How you would support us.
00:54:48Margaret.
00:54:48You've been against this from the beginning.
00:54:50Because you can't bear to be eclipsed.
00:54:52What?
00:54:53You can't bear to be outshone by your younger sister.
00:54:56You've never liked it.
00:54:57Admit it.
00:54:59And you've hated how Peter and I have caught the popular imagination.
00:55:01Hated it enough to want to destroy it.
00:55:03This is madness.
00:55:04Well.
00:55:06You fail to protect me.
00:55:08I will fail to protect you in turn.
00:55:11Margaret.
00:55:14You reap what you sow, sister.
00:55:35Through our friends, close your mind and shut down.
00:55:36You won't.
00:55:36You won't go.
00:55:43I don't have to be.
00:55:43You won't go.
00:55:43You won't go.
00:55:44I can't do this rather.
00:55:44I can't do it.
00:55:44I can't do it.
00:55:45But, I don't do it.
00:55:46But, you won't do it.
00:56:03the laws of England say that any man once divorced is fully entitled to marry again
00:56:09if those laws are good enough for England they are good enough for the royal family
00:56:14I know the near holy reverence shown for the crown by the people of Britain is a fact of life
00:56:19as the recent coronation is shown few other countries in the world retain such regard for
00:56:25their monarchies but are those centuries of awe drawing to an end can that veneration be sustained
00:56:33in the light of the royal family's cruelty to its very own members
00:56:41the royal family of Britain has survived a thousand proofs that it is artificial and
00:56:48superfluous and seems to have as deep a hold as ever on the loyalties of the people
00:56:56it is not likely however to survive the clear proof that it is insensate and cruel
00:57:10the treatment of her sister has now deputized the future of the monarchy in Britain
00:57:2348 hours it would have passed
00:57:27if you're lucky
00:57:28I fear it would take longer than that for Margaret to forgive me
00:57:30well she will in time she has to
00:57:35we all have to
00:57:42ah
00:57:43majesty
