04:18as well. When you have a sister who is supreme governor of the Church of England and defender
04:26of the faith, it's sometimes a little difficult to separate the two. What is the next record?
05:01ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:23That's enough. I said that's enough.
05:29ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:44That was an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake,
05:47performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andre Previn.
05:52And the significance of that?
05:57I've always had a special love for the ballet.
06:01There are some things one cannot express in words, and dance is a language of its own.
06:08And, of course, I used to enjoy dancing myself. Never ballet, though.
06:12Any favorite dance partners over the years?
06:14I certainly won't be disclosing that.
06:18In any case, such exertions are best left to the young.
06:23One always has one's memories.
06:25Tell us about your next choice.
06:31STARDUST
06:31By Hoagie Carmichael
06:34You play the piano yourself, of course.
06:36Yes, I had lessons from a young age.
06:40My sister had lessons in constitutional history, and I had piano.
06:48Is music your first love?
06:53One has many first loves.
06:58When one reaches a certain age, one cannot help embarking on an audit of the heart, a review.
07:05One considers all those loves, those dreams and youthful passions, in the context of a whole life.
07:15And it's interesting to note what endures.
07:18Some that remain and become lasting loves, and some that fade and one realises were probably never true loves at
07:27all.
07:28Thankfully, music has been a constant in my life, and I expect it shall remain so.
07:35Does this final record have any special meaning for you?
07:39It does have special meaning, yes.
07:42And that is?
07:43Yes. Let's leave it at that.
07:47This is STARDUST by Hoagie Carmichael.
08:01Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
08:19And I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
08:29In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
08:41I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
08:44I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
09:11In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
09:38Dear Margaret, it is possible this letter will come as a nasty intrusion rather than a pleasant surprise.
09:46I am planning a rare visit to London from the Isle de France and found myself wondering if you had
09:52any plans to attend the reception next week at the Caledonian club.
09:55Oh, for the crew who served on HMS Vanguard.
10:01Peter Townsend.
10:03Yes.
10:04When was the last time you heard from him?
10:07Oh, it must be 35 years ago.
10:12Isn't HMS Vanguard where you and Peter fell in love?
10:17I'm not sure it was love at the beginning.
10:20But of course it was love.
10:23At the very first glance.
10:25If you say so.
10:28I do.
10:30The love of my life.
10:32The tour of southern Africa.
10:34First time either of us had been abroad.
10:37So that must have been...
10:381947.
10:39Philip had just proposed.
10:41I'd said yes please.
10:43Papa said not so fast.
10:44And Mr. Sourthner, a three-month tour.
10:46I'm hoping you would come to your senses.
10:48A fair chance.
10:51Meanwhile, I was losing my senses on early morning rides
10:54with Papa's dashing Aquarius.
10:57Yes.
10:58His dashing married Aquarius.
11:01Peter was such a good horseman.
11:07I dare say.
11:10So.
11:13What do you imagine he wants?
11:16Must have been his late seventies now.
11:19Long married.
11:20Yes.
11:21Happily married one hears.
11:24With children.
11:27And grandchildren.
11:36Will you go?
11:38I think I might.
11:43Why, what's it to you?
11:55What do you mean of?
12:14I think I'm going to go.
12:23I think I'm going to go.
12:24Mommy.
12:25Darling.
12:31Thank you for agreeing to this.
12:33I asked him to put out some tea.
12:36Might want something a little stronger than that.
12:40I've come to talk about my marriage.
12:44The thing is, I actually had some sympathy for her regarding Wyatt.
12:49I was a bit rough around the edges.
12:52American, of course.
12:53But I've been away so much on duty with the Navy.
12:56It's not surprising Sarah felt a bit neglected.
12:58In all things considered, Steve was actually a pretty decent bloke.
13:02Who was carrying on with your wife?
13:04Not anymore, Mommy.
13:05He's out.
13:07He's gone.
13:10Good.
13:11But there's another one now.
13:14A financial advisor, John Bryan.
13:17Oh, for heaven's sake.
13:19With more photographs to come.
13:22Of what?
13:24You don't want to know.
13:26In Saint-Tropez.
13:29Doing something unmentionable.
13:30You're right.
13:31I don't want to know.
13:32Sucking Sarah's toes, Mommy.
14:02What?
14:06You're right.
14:06You've been following me.
14:06Which is why this time, I'm left with no option.
14:10But to mention the D word.
14:15Diplomacy?
14:16Detente?
14:17Is it asking too much to say duty?
14:21Divorce, mummy.
14:23Oh, darling.
14:25She's had enough.
14:28And I don't blame her.
14:31I blame us.
14:33What?
14:33We all knew what we were getting into when we brought Sarah into the family.
14:37Everyone was so pro.
14:40You more than anyone.
14:41Yes.
14:43She was a breath of fresh air.
14:46Modern, relatable, buckets of fun.
14:49That laugh.
14:51So infectious.
14:52Yes.
14:54But that's what we do in this family.
14:57Destroy anyone that's different.
14:59Not at the beginning, of course.
15:01First we tell ourselves how good they'll be for the system.
15:04They'll be our
15:05salvation, our secret weapon.
15:08Make us look more modern.
15:09Normal.
15:12Human.
15:14And we learn the same painful lessons yet again.
15:19That no one with any character, originality, spark, wit and flair, has a place in the system.
15:30Dear Peter.
15:32It was a great pleasure to hear from you again.
15:35And I look forward to seeing you on the seventh.
15:38I would say, keep your eyes open for a diminutive 60-year-old prune.
15:43But mercifully, time hasn't touched me at all.
15:46And I'm entirely unchanged since our last meeting in 1955.
15:49Jane.
16:13I love it!
16:17You may remember counting us on the tour.
16:20I like to see you.
16:22Roger Carter.
16:27Harold Armstrong Scott.
16:30I like to see you again.
16:32And the former Aquarii to His Majesty the King.
16:41Come on, honey.
16:44Peter.
16:48Having danced a little too vigorously with the princesses,
16:52join me with the festivities.
16:55I, and I expect the rest of you,
16:58never forget the beauty of the Drakensburg Mountains,
17:02Victoria Falls,
17:05endless desert beaches,
17:09as well as the Port of Elizabeth.
17:18I love you.
17:22I love you.
17:32I love you.
17:37I love you.
17:40After all,
17:50Margot.
17:51He's certainly put some color in your cheats.
17:55Does he have a name?
17:58Tim. Does he make you happy? Are you in love? I think I am. Does everyone disapprove? Almost
18:10certainly. Then take it. Fight for him. Ah, this song. And that's my cue to leave. Are you
18:21doing so soon? Yes. Goodbye, darling. Stay tuned home. This song used to be your cutest
18:29day. I know, but I'm afraid I must insist.
18:51I know.
18:53I know.
19:07I know.
20:10That was lovely.
20:13I hope we don't leave it another 40 years or meeting again.
20:19Well, as it happens, I shall be back in London soon.
20:25And there are some things I'd like to return to you.
20:29The letters.
20:32Oh.
20:33Not as a rejection.
20:36I kept them all.
20:39Reading them, it took me back to that time.
20:41And I thought, they're so precious.
20:45I'm not getting any younger, and if anything should happen, I'd hate to see them fall into the wrong hands.
20:51So, I...
20:54Well, I thought better with you.
20:58Well, that's very thoughtful of you.
21:01As it happens, I kept all your letters, too.
21:05Every one of them.
21:11Good night, Peter.
21:13Good night, you royal homers.
21:34Princess royal, your majesty.
21:36Hey, darling.
21:38Well, hey.
21:44Oh.
21:46My book.
21:47Almost finished.
21:50So many other riveting things to read, too.
21:54Don't.
21:56Anyway.
22:00I'm here to talk about Tim.
22:03Tim?
22:05Commander Lawrence.
22:07Oh.
22:09Are you two still...
22:10We are.
22:12And I'm here to say we intend for it to be permanent.
22:18As in, till death do us part.
22:21What?
22:23You hardly know one another.
22:26Almost three years, mummy.
22:29And the ink is barely dry on your divorce from Mark.
22:33And in the climate, we find ourselves.
22:36With so much scrutiny on the family.
22:41Are you sure it wouldn't be wise to...
22:44Wait?
22:46Wait.
22:47Just a little.
22:49Darling.
22:50I'm glad you found happiness.
22:52I know how difficult it was in the end with Mark.
22:54But of all the families you could have been born into,
22:57fate has endowed you with this one.
22:59With everything that goes with it.
23:01Including the fact that your mother is supreme governor of the Church of England
23:04and remarriage when the first husband is still alive,
23:08as you well know, is not only frowned upon, it is forbidden.
23:11I, of all people, hardly need reminding of the requirements of being in this family.
23:18I have dedicated myself to my role, bent myself into shape, placed duty above all else,
23:23including more often than not my own happiness.
23:26Five engagements a day, 300 days a year for the past 24 years.
23:32Well, you cannot have all of me.
23:37And I will not give all of me.
23:40And I will marry Tim.
23:56In you go.
23:57In you go.
23:58Good girl.
24:00How was that?
24:01Fine.
24:05Let's just go.
24:07Wait.
24:40Sometimes I wonder
24:43Why I spend
24:46The lonely night
24:49Dreaming of a song
24:52The melody
24:54Haunts my reverie
24:58And I am once again with you
25:02Though I dream in vain
25:07In my heart
25:10It will remain
25:12My stardust melody
25:16The memory
25:18Your royal highness
25:19As requested
25:20I will be accompanying you
25:22On a short ride to Gregowan Lodge tomorrow
25:24Weather permitting
25:26Group captain
25:27Peter Townshend
25:33Your royal highness
25:34I've been meaning to thank you
25:36For your kindness in Balmoral
25:38You may have thought your kind act
25:41Went unnoticed
25:42Camouflaged as you were
25:43In your green tartan skirt
25:45And tweed jacket
25:47It did not
25:50My darling Margaret
25:53It was reckless of you
25:55To visit me in my office today
25:56My stardust melody
25:59The memory of love's refrain
26:05Reckless
26:06And magnificent
26:10I do love you so
26:25Darling Margaret
26:27It seems the world has intruded our private Eden
26:31And wants to forbid our love
26:37They're banishing me
26:39Sending me away
26:41Sending me away
26:41Like a criminal
26:44I hate to think of you suffering
26:46A creature made for happiness
26:49But hold to our pact
26:52Stay true to one another
26:54In spite of everything
27:00Margaret
27:02I write to you with a heavy heart
27:04I have just returned to Brussels
27:06From a year abroad
27:07Around the world
27:09A young woman named Marie Luce
27:11Accompanied me on this trip
27:13As my secretary
27:14And photographer
27:16Her companionship
27:17Has been one of the few joys in my life
27:20I have decided to ask her to marry me
27:24I know you will feel betrayed by this decision
27:27So
27:42I have an axe
27:44To have a knife
27:44To be firm
27:44In the middle
27:46It's a much easier
27:46To have an axe
27:46In the middle
27:51There must be strange
27:56How a hero
27:57How a hero
28:20Prince Harming, they're calling me now, amid endless other calumnies and lies.
28:27I know you've always tried to see both sides of the marriage, but will you now finally agree that official
28:33separation is the only sensible course?
28:36Charles.
28:39If it were just incompatibility or infidelity, that would be one thing, but the sheer vindictiveness of that Morton book
28:49and then the temerity to insist that she had nothing to do with it.
28:55I've done as you asked, Mummy. I've tried to make it work for 11 years, but there comes a point...
29:04I have been no stranger this year to my children's marital difficulties.
29:09But while Anne's and Andrew's problems are deeply distressing, yours are in a category of their own because you, as
29:15future king, are in a category of your own.
29:19At my coronation, I took an oath that you will one day take at yours to maintain the laws of
29:26God.
29:27And God's law is that marriage is for life.
29:31And while it is expected for the monarch to be married and produce an heir, being happily married is a
29:37preference rather than a requirement.
29:41You also took a solemn promise to maintain and protect the crown.
29:46Diana won't rest until she's blown the whole thing up. Is that what you want?
29:57It's funny, isn't it? For years I've called for a more modern monarchy that reflects the world outside.
30:05But look at the rates of family breakdown out there, and then look at us.
30:09Margaret, divorced. Anne, divorced.
30:12Right.
30:13Andrew, humiliated and heading for divorce. Me, trapped and dreaming of divorce. And you talk about moral examples.
30:21If we were an ordinary family and social services came to visit, they'd have thrown us into care and you
30:28into jail.
30:28That's enough.
30:31We've got our modern monarchy, all right. Just not in the way we hoped.
30:44It begins to look like parental failure, the gravest kind.
30:51And yet the Duke of Edinburgh and I could not have been more clear with the children about how important
30:56we consider marriage to be.
31:01I have every sympathy.
31:05My own daughter is divorced.
31:08My son is separated.
31:11All we can do is ask for God's guidance.
31:16How did it come to this?
31:21Our generation was brought up to believe that marriage was an ideal and divorce was a problem.
31:27This generation.
31:32Yes.
31:34But the Prince and Princess are not yet separated.
31:39There is still hope of reconciliation.
31:42And we all pray for it.
31:48We do.
31:50We do.
31:51We do.
31:53Daily.
32:28The Prince...
32:30The Doctor...
32:30The report is coming in of a fire at Windsor Castle, with flames shooting from the turrets and smoke pouring
32:35over the town.
32:35I witness his flames and smoke are visible from the roof of the North-East Wing near the Queen's apartments.
32:39The Majesty is being kept informed of the operation, and it's understood that she's on her way to the scene.
33:04it went up like a tinderbox those were the words of one observer about this blaze
33:09which despite the efforts of the fire service still shows no signs of being brought under
33:14control the entire north terrace is ravaged by flames fire crews are working determinedly to
33:20stop them spreading and destroying some of britain's most priceless treasures it's now about
33:26six hours since this fire started and much of the top left-hand side of windsor castle is still on
33:32fire
33:33still burning the destruction inside i'm told is absolutely enormous ceilings have come down smoke
33:39damage fire damage water damage well i was talking to one of the queen's aides and i asked him
33:44uh what she felt about what had happened and what her mood about it was and he said that she's
33:49like
33:49any mother uh watching her own home burned down she's obviously absolutely devastated
33:54people are just absolutely stunned by what's happening around them

35:38it's the monday service at st paul's
35:40leaving us alone
35:45we spent a whole afternoon in the crimson room locked in conversation
35:50yes
35:53whatever were we talking about
35:57everything and nothing i suppose
35:58not nothing
36:01because i remember we were excitedly making plans for our future
36:06hmm
36:07with such certainty and conviction
36:13like those plans i'm afraid the crimson room did not survive
36:20how sad
36:22yes
36:26i'm curious
36:28what made you write to me after all that time

36:40recently i had that made clear to me by my doctor
36:45oh
36:46oh
36:48peter i'm so sorry
36:52around the same time i heard a radio interview with you
36:55and i suppose i wanted to know
36:58if our love
37:01in the context of a whole life
37:05had been a fleeting one
37:08or a lasting one
37:10or a lasting one
37:39the
37:39face intense questioning over how the restoration bill will be met
37:43some labour MPs say the queen not taxpayers should pay for all repair work
37:49the monarchy can't have it always a one way system
37:52under which we the taxpayers pick up the bills
37:56but they refuse to be taxpayers themselves
37:59neither the building nor its contents were insured
38:02time that time
38:05the very worst of time
38:08the
38:09any idea how it started
38:10the great metaphor
38:13i mean
38:14fire
38:17the spotlight blew a fuse or something
38:21in the private chapel
38:23all very innocent
38:25or was it
38:28like one of those

38:52and

38:58hasn't she detonated that already

39:01the duke of york
39:03furious at his own mother for having led him to believe his whole life that he was irresistible and invulnerable
39:10only to discover his principal role is to be humiliated
39:17me
39:21you
39:24you
39:24you don't think
39:25i have reason to burn down my sister's home
39:30why would you do that
39:34what
39:35because of what she denied me
39:36because of what she denied me
39:40peter townsend
39:42peter townsend
39:44what
39:46without sun and water
39:51crops fail
39:52Lilibet
39:55Lilibet, let me ask, how many times has Philip done something?
40:03Intervene when you couldn't, be strong when you couldn't be,
40:07be angry when you couldn't be, be decisive when you couldn't be.
40:11How many times have you said a silent prayer of gratitude for him
40:15and thought to yourself, if I didn't have him, I'd never be able to do it?
40:18How often?
40:21Peter was my son.
40:26My water.
40:29And you denied me him.
40:31I denied you as queen, not as your sister.
40:36The conditions are irrelevant.
40:38The prohibition is what counts a prohibition, incidentally.
40:41You are not now extending to Anne.
40:43That is different.
40:44How is it different?
40:47Anne is a royal princess with no prospect of acceding to the throne,
40:52as was I.
40:54Commander Lawrence is a palace equerry marrying scandalously above his station.
40:59Peter was a palace equerry hoping to marry scandalously above his.
41:03Anne and Commander Lawrence are in love.
41:05Peter and I were in love.
41:06In both cases, one party is a divorcee.
41:09See, the situation is identical in every way except for the outcome.
41:14She is being allowed to marry him.
41:20I wasn't.
41:23Her story ends happening.
41:29I did not.
41:36And yet, even after 40 years,
41:42you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge what happened to me
41:46and the part you played in it.
41:56Oh, my God.
41:58Oh, my God.
42:27Yes.
42:57In case you shouldn't stop it.
42:59Thank you, Peggy.
43:01Your Majesty.
43:02Mummy, that's a surprise.
43:05I've been told you're unwell.
43:08It's just a cold.
43:09I heard fever.
43:10In which case, the only sensible course is bed rest.
43:14It's a lunch to celebrate me.
43:16I can't pull out.
43:17Yes, you can.
43:19And I don't want to pull out.
43:27I've also taken a look at the speech.
43:30You know the three questions we always ask ourselves.
43:33Does it need saying?
43:35Does it need saying now?
43:37Does it need saying by me?
43:40And to describe it in this way,
43:42Annus Horribilis.
43:45People will remark on it.
43:47Not just because of the theatrical deviation into Latin.
43:50What's your point?
43:51My point,
43:52since we're speaking Latin now,
43:55is tempus fugit.
43:58Time passes.
44:00People will move on and forget.
44:01Make a statement like this.
44:03No one will forget.
44:05Quite apart from the fact
44:06it's an expression of personal sentiment,
44:08the kind of which we do not make.
44:10Mummy.
44:10And it could also be interpreted
44:12as an admission of our failings,
44:16which will only encourage further attacks.
44:18It has been, by some margin,
44:20the worst year of my reign.
44:22Quite possibly my life.
44:24I'm happy for people to know.
44:27Know what?
44:28That their queen is depressed.
44:30That I'm made of flesh and blood.
44:33And that perhaps
44:34we have fallen short
44:36in our duty as a family
44:37and owe them an apology.
44:41Apology?
44:43That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary.
44:49Monarchy is the only part
44:51of the Constitution
44:52with an element of the divine.
44:54When you wear the crown,
44:57you are transfigured.
45:00Apologizing, Sal,
45:01is not just your dignity,
45:03but God's,
45:04whose will it is
45:05that you are who you are.
45:09Actually,
45:10I'm not sure
45:11if there's anything
45:12to be gained by that.
45:13Yes, there is.
45:15Her peace of mind.
45:18She's done God's will
45:19about as immaculately
45:20as any human
45:21for the past 40 years.
45:24She's earned the right
45:25to say anything she likes.
45:28And it's our job
45:29to support her.
45:32Unconditionally.
45:32Since when have you
45:33sung that tune?
45:34Since day one
45:35he's sung that tune.
45:36Day one.
45:44Now, if you don't mind,
45:47we're due
45:47at the Guildhall.
46:14Please be up standing
46:15for a while
46:19my lord mayor.
46:21The anniversary
46:23of any occasion
46:24is a time
46:26to reflect.
46:28But in light
46:30of the events
46:30of the last 12 months,
46:33perhaps I have more
46:34to reflect on
46:35than most.
46:381992
46:40is not a year
46:41on which I shall look back
46:43with undiluted pleasure.
46:47It has turned out
46:49to be
46:49an annus
46:51horribilis.
46:54No institution
46:55is beyond reproach.
46:58And no member
46:59of it either.
47:01The high standards
47:03we in the monarchy
47:05are held to
47:06by the public
47:07must be the same
47:09benchmark
47:10to which we hold
47:11ourselves
47:12personally.
47:14If we can't
47:15admit
47:16the errors
47:17of our past,
47:19what hope
47:20for reconciliation
47:23can there be?
47:28today,
47:29I'd like to pay tribute,
47:32if I may,
47:33to my family.
47:37Throughout the four decades
47:39I have been on the throne.
47:41They have quite literally
47:44been my son
47:46and water
47:49for all the sacrifices
47:51they have made.
47:53Indeed,
47:54to all of you here
47:56whose prayers
47:57and well wishes

48:41Well, it has been
48:42for all of you

48:45has been my fault for the record no one blames you on the contrary everyone blames me all of the
48:53time
