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, for the sword
00:03:58Let me return
00:03:58To you, sir
00:03:59To you, sir
00:05:17Switchboard. Good morning, Your Royal Highness.

00:07:11Yes, Peter.
00:07:13Oh.
00:07:14What 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?
00:07:24There you go again.

00:14:09coronation and you being more and more occupied peter's become almost my sole companion
00:14:17uh and i his
00:14:21and um so when his divorce came through in uh december last year i suppose it was only natural that
00:14:26we both
00:14:27started thinking about what kind of
00:14:31um future
00:14:33we might have together
00:14:35and we reached a decision in april wasn't it uh just before the coronation

00:16:52uh 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 for one thing it will create the most enormous scandal
00:17:20nor do i believe in them as a couple he'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 i'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
00:17:44because of the position it puts you in as a
00:17:47as a sister and as a queen
00:17:49has everyone forgotten the catastrophe that was your uncle already
00:17:54the situation's different
00:17:55one party divorced
00:17:57the other royal
00:18:00sounds pretty similar to me
00:18:01that was 17 years ago
00:18:04the world has changed
00:18:05the rest of the world has nothing changes in the court of st james
00:18:10besides 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
00:18:30divorced war hero
00:18:32and blameless in that divorce
00:18:35no no no there'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
00:18:45he was looking after my father
00:18:47and sniffing around your sister
00:18:55he's a little girl
00:18:55and he's a good pilot
00:18:55oh
00:18:56liked him i mean
00:18:58i 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? If he were really a good influence,
00:19:10he'd patch things up with his wife and leave Margaret well alone.
00:19:31Night, Bill. Night.
00:19:37Oh, shit, it is.
00:19:57Nice, huh? Yeah.
00:19:59This had better be good.
00:20:02It is.
00:20:06What the hell?
00:20:08You did say pepper, E?
00:20:10Pepper's one thing. This is jelly night.
00:20:13I know.
00:20:22What are you doing?
00:20:23I can't run this without going upstairs.
00:20:26What?!
00:20:26Don't look at me like that. Live in the real bloody world for a moment, will you?
00:20:32Marjorie, hello. Yes. Is he there? Yeah, just for a few minutes.
00:20:40This is not just inflammatory. It breaks all the rules.
00:20:44What rules, sir?
00:20:45The unspoken rules of deference and respect shown by the media to the royal family.
00:20:51But surely those rules changed the moment they invited television into the coronation.
00:20:55That was their right. And a huge concession.
00:20:58To what?
00:20:59Popular interests.
00:21:01Their interests also.
00:21:03Look at their standing now. It's never been higher.
00:21:05The question we in the fourth estate need to be asking ourselves is,
00:21:09do we let ourselves be used or do we have our own independent voice?
00:21:13Don't get moralistic with me.
00:21:15If we don't break this story, do 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 being 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 what 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 for the kind gesture that it is.
00:22:02What, that you're about?
00:22:03To print an article that will cause deep distress to senior,
00:22:07let's be quite clear, the 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.
00:22:46You're so glad to have you involved.
00:22:49Very bad.
00:22:53To lift.
00:23:11You sat there.
00:23:38Your majesty, a story is about to break in the press, identifying Peter Townsend not
00:23:47just as the companion of Princess Margaret but as her likely future husband. We understand
00:23:58that the paper is to feature a profile of Group Captain Townsend, details of his marriage
00:24:06and subsequent divorce, along with an editorial about other notable divorcees to have been
00:24:14associated 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. This horse has already bolted.
00:24:45Your royal highness.
00:25:00Her Majesty the Queen for you, your royal highness. On the telephone.
00:25:11Hello.
00:25:12Hello, you. Bad time, good time?
00:25:14Mm-hm. Good time. Always.
00:25:19Look, I've been racking my brain about how I can best help you. Now, you know that the Church
00:25:24of England doesn't permit the remarriage of divorced persons if the husband or wife of
00:25:28the former marriage is still alive. Yes?
00:25:30Well, I was just wondering if you and Peter had considered Scotland.
00:25:34To live? No, for the wedding.
00:25:37Why? Because it would be more low profile?
00:25:41Well, actually, I was thinking of legal reasons. Marriage isn't regarded as a sacrament in the
00:25:47Church of Scotland. It'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. What 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.
00:26:37I can't wait to tell Peter.
00:26:39I'm ready to go.
00:26:55Help me.
00:26:56Come on, you step.
00:27:18Mummy.
00:27:20This 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.
00:27:41But we must do everything in our power to protect you as queen and as a sister.
00:27:49Protect me from what?
00:27:50Margaret.
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.
00:28:10Don't mistake your current popularity for long-term security.
00:28:16Your uncle's affair and abdication almost destroyed the monarch.
00:28:20This good.
00:28:25Tommy.
00:28:33Ma'am, what do you know about the Royal Marriages Act of 1772?
00:28:38George the Second.
00:28:39Third, ma'am.
00:28:40He 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,
00:28:52which caused an outrage in Parliament and the church.
00:28:55Now, in response, George the Third asked his Prime Minister, Lord North,
00:28:59to rush through a Royal Marriages Act to prevent any future willful young prince or princess
00:29:06from making an ill-advised or disadvantageous match, which might threaten the integrity of the Royal House.
00:29:13It 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?
00:29:56Mum, she's only 23. What 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, Mum.
00:30:46Why, sir?
00:30:46Why, sir?
00:30:46Out of my way.
00:30:59Come on.
00:31:19Margaret, no!
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,
00:31:46keeping 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?
00:32:14Sorry.
00:32:41All right.
00:32:45If I do this for you,
00:32:47will you promise me that this banishment...
00:32:50Poster?
00:32:51This banishment won't start until after our trip 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.
00:33:03It's a sensitivity of you two together.
00:33:07The photographers,
00:33:08it would overshadow everything.
00:33:10But...
00:33:11When you get back,
00:33:14you'll have some time together.
00:33:16Alone.
00:33:18I promise you that.
00:33:20I promise you that.
00:33:20I promise you that.
00:33:28I promise you that.

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

00:37:00you'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

00:38:39The Queen, who wears a coat of vivid blue shantum 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 bid 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 soccer.
00:39:13Many Ulster schools and youth organisations 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 rumours 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 scrutinise 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 crowd certainly
00:39:49seem as interested in group captain Townsend, as in Her Majesty.
00:39:57I'm in the middle of a series where she lives in 3,000 ex-servicemen in 6 deaths.
00:39:59Certainly....
00:40:00...triggering crowds have to jostle with members of the press and television for following the royal parties every move.
00:40:05It's a small part of her.
00:40:09I brought him along to show my gratitude for his years of service, and to support my sister.
00:40:14And I had hoped the detention of Margaret and Peter would...fade away...
00:40:19But I could barely hear myself speak today.
00:40:22The solution is an obvious one.
00:40:25Which is?
00:40:26Bring forward the group captain's relocation with immediate effect.
00:40:31But that would mean him missing his reunion with my sister in London.
00:40:35And 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 wait ten to four hours.
00:40:50Things might calm down tomorrow.
00:40:53The Lamberg drummers, ma'am.
00:40:56A special Orangeman's welcome.
00:41:00There we go.
00:41:07There we go.
00:41:18Oh, my God.
00:41:48May God give you wisdom, loyalty, and faithfulness, and may the future bring peace, contentment, and true happiness to the
00:42:02people of Northern Ireland.
00:42:17And every God of Peace, contradictions, and may the future bring peace, contentment, and may the future bring peace, contentment,
00:42:38and may the future bring peace.
00:42:56Do you have a moment, Lillard?
00:43:02Yes, of course.
00:43:08I just wanted to apologize for all the press' attention, and to thank you for inviting me along in the
00:43:16first place.
00:43:17I do appreciate the gesture.
00:43:20It's the least I could do.
00:43:22I regretted having to take you off the Rhodesia trip.
00:43:25Yes, Margaret and I were so looking forward to it.
00:43:27We have so many shared interests, as you know.
00:43:29We enjoy doing everything together.
00:43:35We had hoped to find some time together during our days of walking, swimming, riding.
00:43:46But not to be.
00:43:51No.
00:43:59Anyway, nice chatting.
00:44:08Ma'am, if you wouldn't mind.
00:44:15Just wondering if Her Majesty has had a time to think about the matter.
00:44:22She has.
00:44:26Take care of it, Toy.
00:44:28Whatever manner you see fit.
00:44:32Yes, ma'am.
00:44:36Yes, ma'am.
00:45:08Thank you so much, Peter.
00:50:42Yes, sir.
00:50:44We honor a man of remarkable vision, who saw how great this land could become once civilized.
00:50:57I wish continued prosperity and success to all those who inhabit it.
00:51:11Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the loyal church.
00:51:16Telegram for Princess Margaret.
00:51:18The Queen!
00:51:20To the Queen!
00:51:28Come save our gracious Queen,
00:51:32Lo, we hallowed Queen,
00:51:37God save the Queen!
00:51:41Send her victorious,
00:51:46happy and glorious,
00:51:50long to reign over us,
00:51:55God save the Queen!
00:52:00I need to speak to my sister.
00:52:04Now!
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,
00:52:26her mayor direct your call.
00:52:28Buckingham Palace,
00:52:29Victoria 4832.
00:52:33I have Her Royal Highness the Princess Margaret,
00:52:35Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:36Sir?
00:52:39Sir?
00:52:42Princess Margaret for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:52:45On a secure line.
00:52:47Of 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.
00:52:53What could be so difficult?
00:52:54She's the Queen.
00:52:55She's very conspicuous.
00:52:57She can't disappear.
00:52:57I know.
00:52:59I know.
00:53:08I know.
00:53:14I know.
00:53:19I know.
00:53:28Sandringham House, good evening.
00:53:32Yes, sir, she's here. Arrived about an hour ago.
00:53:38Yes, sir, right away.
00:53:55Ma'am, I've located the Queen.
00:54:08Well, I think he's a little bit inexperienced.
00:54:11The trucking?
00:54:12Yes, I do.
00:54:14Telephone, Your Majesty.
00:54:15Right. Yes, 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 a word.
00:54:32Promised me he'd still be there when I got back.
00:54:34I did.
00:54:34Why is 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.
00:54:49You've been against us 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've caught the popular imagination.
00:55:01Hated it enough to want to destroy it.
00:55:03This is madness.
00:55:04Well, you fail to protect me.
00:55:08I will fail to protect you in return.
00:55:10Margaret.
00:55:14You reap what you sow, sister.
00:55:19I can't find you.
00:55:26I pel
00:55:27I'm scared.
00:56:02the laws of England say that any man once divorced is fully entitled to marry again
00:56:09those laws are good enough for England they are good enough for the royal family I know the near
00:56:15holy reverence shown for the crown by the people of Britain is a fact of life as the recent
00:56:20coronation is shown few other countries in the world retain such regard for their monarchies
00:56:26but are those centuries of all drawing to an end can that veneration be sustained in the light of
00:56:34the royal family's cruelty to its very own members the royal family of Britain has survived a thousand
00:56:45proofs that it is artificial and superfluous and seems to have as deep a hold as ever on the loyalties
00:56:55of
00:56:56the people it is not likely however to survive the clear proof that it is insensate and cruel
00:57:10her 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
00:57:31well she will in time she has to
00:57:35we all have to
00:57:42ah majesty be right with you hello Mike where are you going I told you I was away for the
