00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:12It's...
02:15It's all right.
02:19Good.
02:20It's okay.
03:07Oh
03:12Your majesty
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements
03:25On what is essentially a private trip
03:27And for flying this way commercially
03:29Oh, it's not so bad
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us
03:35What's the first stop? New York
03:36Ah, San Francisco, then Los Angeles
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona
03:42Oh, lovely
03:43Then on to New York
03:44Where Tony is promoting his book
03:47You've written a book?
03:49Ah, a book of my photographs
03:50Oh, you are clever
03:52You must make time to really relax, too
03:55We will
03:56Be good to one another
03:58Kind to one another
04:01Both of you
04:06Sad she felt the need to say that
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another
04:10Kind to one another
04:11Eight of you
04:13I was a little clumsy
04:17But she means well
04:19Two of us
04:21Are complicated
04:24She and I are complicated
04:27It's true
04:29Elder sister, younger sister
04:32Number one and number two
04:33Who's number one?
04:37You, of course
04:39A natural number one
04:41Whose tragedy it is to have been born number two
04:45That is my button
04:48She knows it, too
04:51Yes, I think she does
04:54That's our battle
04:57Welcome aboard this BAC flight to San Francisco
05:00Please take your seats and relax
05:02We're now ready for departure
05:04And we'll be taxiing shortly
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight
05:09Go ahead and hug her
05:14zee
05:14Right here
05:36Get up
05:37We'll be right now
06:06Transcription by CastingWords
06:21CastingWords
06:50Good morning, Mr. Ambassador.
06:53Economically, as you know, Marvin, the United Kingdom is right up against it.
06:57We're seeing a terrifying run on Sterling, and our credit from the IMF is about to expire.
07:03Now, the Prime Minister has made several attempts to speak to the President about another bailout.
07:08Rescue package.
07:10But the President refuses to take his court.
07:13President Johnson is a busy man.
07:16Too busy to talk to his oldest ally.
07:19Historically, the holder of this office has the warmest relationship with Downing Street.
07:24Think of Churchill and Roosevelt, or Truman and Adley, McMillan and JFK.
07:29No need to keep mentioning Jack Kennedy like that.
07:33Keep mentioning?
07:34It's just provocative.
07:37Unhelpful.
07:38President Johnson is his own man.
07:41Of course.
07:43I mentioned it only in the context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty.
07:48Morning, Prime Minister.
07:49The United Kingdom and the United States.
07:54Historically, it's like a marriage.
07:58Will you talk to him?
08:01No.
08:02Screw the Brits.
08:03I don't like them.
08:03I never liked them.
08:05They're not looking down at you through their noses.
08:06They're holding their hands out like beggars.
08:08And I don't give a crap about any special relationship.
08:11Harold Wilson wants my help.
08:12He should have thought about that when he refused to support me over Vietnam.
08:14You can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers.
08:24The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
08:26Your Majesty.
08:28Prime Minister.
08:41I'm sure that it did not escape your attention that President Johnson failed to attend at Sue Instance's funeral.
08:48Yes, on account of a cold.
08:50Well, that was the explanation the White House gave, but it persuaded no one.
08:53Now, I fear that the President may have taken against me for what he sees as my failure to support
09:02him over Vietnam.
09:03And I wondered, in the past, the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat.
09:20And given the predicament the country finds itself in economically...
09:25You'd like us to roll out the red carpet?
09:27Make a bit of a fuss?
09:32Please.
09:35I shall consult the three wise men, see what they have to say.
09:41Thank you, ma'am.
09:51What we have witnessed in Princess Margaret is a more vibrant, modern and engaging version of her older sister.
10:00Quite right.
10:02To those accustomed to the formality of traditional royal visits, meeting Princess Margaret has been like going from a black
10:09and white film to one in colour.
10:12What about a state dinner?
10:14Like the one held for Woodrow Wilson in 1918?
10:17Or a weekend at Windsor Castle?
10:19The important thing here, I'm told, is that whatever we offer President Johnson, it must exceed whatever we gave the
10:25Kennedys.
10:26When you're snuffling!
10:28Hey, we wanted to see the Queen!
10:31You're seeing something better than the Queen.
10:33What do you think is the main difference between Britain and America?
10:36Well, my sister isn't on the backboards here.
10:38What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:43Liberty!
10:46But when you're crying, you get all the way, so stop your silence.
10:54Be happy again, keep on smiling.
10:59Cause when you're smiling, the whole world starts with you.
11:07He's smiling, darling.
11:09What news of Princess Margaret?
11:11After three days in San Francisco, Her Royal Highness has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
11:16Any disasters I should be aware of?
11:18No, on the contrary, the trip seems to have been a great success.
11:22Really?
11:23Yes, rave reviews, all the newspapers.
11:26With even a name having been coined for the multitude of fans and well-wishers who have followed her every
11:31step of the way.
11:33Which is?
11:34Margaretologists.
11:36Margaretologists?
11:38Yes, ma'am.
11:39Fans who have delighted in Her Royal Highness's intelligence and articulacy, her beauty and charm.
11:44With one newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, even going so far as to say...
11:48It's all right.
11:48Thank you, Martin.
11:49Yes, ma'am.
11:50I'm a queen, not a saint.
11:51That's it.
11:52Try not to smile.
12:10I gave it.
12:12Not once, not twice, but three times, and you ignored it.
12:15What?
12:16A signal.
12:17Our signal that I wanted to leave.
12:20I didn't see it.
12:21You know, as well as I, that if you are the guest of honour, you cannot just leave.
12:28In the course of our marriage, I have lost count of the number of times you've walked out as guest
12:32of honour.
12:33Once or twice.
12:34All the bloody time.
12:36When it's dreary.
12:37When it suits you.
12:39Well, the people are ugly and dull.
12:43These people were musing.
12:46They're attractive.
12:48And they made me feel good.
12:51No, no, no, no.
12:51The alcohol made you feel good.
12:55And blunted your judgment to the sycophancy of the people surrounding you.
13:00Is that right?
13:01Yes.
13:02Keys.
13:02Well, sadly, it's not blunted my judgment to your mean-spiritedness and jealousy and general pusenalanminity.
13:15Pusenalanmin...
13:17Small-mindedness.
13:20I don't recognise this.
13:24Hmm.
13:25Come to think of it.
13:26I don't recognise you.
13:31Actually, nor did anyone else.
13:34I mean, if we're honest.
13:39Isn't that the real problem here?
13:41Hmm?
13:44Oh, I'm sorry.
13:46And you are Tony who?
13:50Oh, yeah.
13:52The husband guy.
13:54It's not easy sometimes.
13:57What is not easy?
14:00Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess.
14:05Don't talk to me about being a second fiddle.
14:08I get so little I'm like...
14:12No, it's the price I pay for the sister I have.
14:16But if the opportunity should once arise for me to shine,
14:20I'd appreciate you putting aside the competitive little narcissists that rages within you.
14:30And letting me savour it.
14:41I promise that once we get to New York,
14:47the spotlight will be entirely on you and your book.
14:52I'll take a back seat and be the adoring and supportive, number two, you want me to be.
15:00And nothing will make me happier.
15:15Now, you can tell me, oh, you want 50,000.
15:18Hell, 100,000 more boots on the ground are going to resolve this.
15:21But I put 100,000 more men in there.
15:23Who's to say that Ho Chi Minh isn't going to put 100,000 more?
15:26A man can't fight if he can't see daylight at the end of the road.
15:31I want to see solutions, gentlemen, solutions, not more numbers.
15:37By God, I will not be the first American president to lose a goddamn war.
15:44That'll be all.
15:45Yes, sir, it's got me.
15:58What is this?
16:00A peace offering from the Brits.
16:02Open to secure the bailout.
16:06A weekend shooting at Balmoral?
16:09Yes, sir.
16:11That's as good as it gets.
16:12Even Kennedy never got that.
16:15Really?
16:16He got a banquet, Naval Guard of Honor, but never a weekend shooting in Scotland.
16:22No one has gotten that.
16:34Still, that's a long flight, followed by a long drive, stay in some creepy haunted castle.
16:42The weather's terrible.
16:47And it would involve making small talk to fancy people.
16:52Then when you go shooting, there's rules, things you do and don't do.
16:58Which would involve researching, learning, cutting my nails.
17:04And I'd still get it all wrong.
17:07And then everybody'd laugh at me and they'd say how I wouldn't know Jack Kennedy who would know exactly which
17:12knife and fork to use and which bird to shoot.
17:16So my position has not changed.
17:20It is still no thank you, your majesty.
17:25Tomorrow, there's a reception given by the Council of Engineering Institutions at the Science Museum,
17:30followed by an audience with His Excellency Gudmundur Gudmundsson, the new ambassador from the Republic of Iceland.
17:37Thank you, Michael.
17:38And where are we with President Johnson?
17:41Ah, we went back offering weekend shooting at Balmoral.
17:46Did we?
17:47Lucky LBJ.
17:48We don't get enough of those ourselves.
17:50And?
17:50No response, ma'am.
17:52What?
17:52Nothing.
17:54Complete silence.
17:55That's a first?
17:56Yes.
17:58Probably not what Downing Street was hoping for.
18:00Is everyone panicking?
18:01Slightly.
18:03What about Princess Margaret?
18:04I was safely arrived in Arizona, ma'am.
18:06Oh, well, that's something.
18:07At the Douglas Family Ranch?
18:09Yes.
18:10I've never been.
18:11What do we know about it?
18:12They say it's quite something.
18:13A beautiful 19th century country house set under the Santa Rita Mountains in miles and miles of wide open desert.
18:23Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:24Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:40Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:41Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:41Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:41Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:41Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:42Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:42Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:43Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:44Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:44Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
18:46Oh, well, that's what I was going to say.
19:02Tony, brace yourselves, come along darling, your royal, your royal heinous, no blinking,
19:14no kissing, judge, I look hideous, ghastly, you look a bit tired, a bit coldy, it's only to be expected
19:37after your heroics, you hated every minute, didn't you, maybe, that's irrelevant, the newspapers
19:50didn't, page after page about how extraordinary you are, what an asset to the crown, how underused
19:59you are, what a secret weapon, how deserving you are of the spotlight, your elder sister
20:04eclipsed and outshone, darling, and now you must sleep, what will you do, be a good guest
20:13and sing for our supper, so rest, I will, and get well for New York,
20:35Mr. President, I just got off the phone with our ambassador in London, we just got off the phone
20:39with the prime minister, just got off the phone with the queen, don't tell me everybody's pissed,
20:44the general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister, that's one thing,
20:50but no one gets to insult the crown, sir, it's like treason or something, how have I insulted the crown,
20:57by not accepting the queen's invitation, sir, well, I didn't refuse, just have him reply,
21:06well, now, don't you do this, Marvin, you're my chief of staff, you're supposed to have my back,
21:12don't you get suckered into this, you know, they got this whole thing going on over there,
21:16head of state, prime minister, Buckingham palace, downing street, it's like a double act,
21:21like tag team wrestling, one of them gets him in trouble, the other jumps in to bail him out,
21:26Wilson screws me over Vietnam, and she jumps in to make it all good with some bursts, you bullshit,
21:32we don't have that here, don't you, Buck stops with me, who the hell am I supposed to call,
21:42if I want to issue an invitation to get me out of trouble, well, you call me, sir, your oldest
21:48friend,
21:48plan, I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble, all right, come up with
21:53a plan,
21:55well, sir, I just did, this is the plan, right here, who in God's name is that,
22:05they came to land at Oakland airport, and here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered them
22:10everywhere they went, the princess was radiant, obviously enjoying her zone,
22:15it wasn't long before her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion,
22:20the American people and their press have warmed to the couple,
22:24enchanted by the natural display of charm and friendliness,
22:28prime minister for you, ma'am,
22:30said it was urgent,
22:35prime minister,
22:37just to say, we've finally had a response from the Americans, ma'am,
22:43they've come back with an invitation of their own,
22:48to dinner at the White House,
22:50for me?
22:51no, for Princess Margaret,
22:54oh, that's cunning,
22:56yes,
22:57that way, President Johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer,
23:00no,
23:02it also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout,
23:06indeed,
23:07but we think not all is lost,
23:10that Princess Margaret should accept the invitation,
23:12go to the White House,
23:14and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause,
23:21it would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy,
23:26for which you want to send Princess Margaret,
23:29yes,
23:30well,
23:30that had been my reaction,
23:32but her trip to America has been a terrific success,
23:36so I get her,
23:39so will you ask her,
23:44if those are my instructions,
23:48please,
23:54well,
23:55well,
23:55I suppose the situation is so dire,
23:57there's really nothing to lose,
23:59he doesn't know my sister,
24:04ma'am,
24:15the royal highness,
24:17no,
24:17yes,
24:18telephone for you,
24:19no,
24:20it's the queen,
24:36hello you hello you sorry to disturb i know you're on holiday so you don't want to hear this
24:45what we've had an invitation from the white house for you to go to washington and have dinner with
24:50the president and the first lady and we'd like you to attend when this wednesday ah can't why not
25:02i'm going to be in new york and tell his book launch
25:08perhaps i should make it clear there is rather a lot riding on it and everyone is keen very keen
25:14for you to go perhaps i should make it clear that nothing is going to stop me from supporting my
25:21husband just like you asked me to margaret
25:27so
25:31so
25:33so
26:03dear margaret
26:06as a wife i understand your desire to support tony
26:09you know that it was my honest hope that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous more encouraging to each other
26:18but for now such considerations must be put aside
26:23i have asked you this once as a sister
26:25and now i must command it as your queen
26:31your royal highness sir thank you so much for agreeing to this
26:37the most recent list of people attending the dinner with some brief biographies of those expected to sit close to
26:43you
26:43what i'm asking you to do amounts to much more than simply attending a dinner
26:53currently there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity
26:58that require a concerted effort on our part
27:02we must heal the divisions that are emerging between britain and its american cousins
27:08you've often lamented that you have nothing to do
27:11but you are a wasted resource
27:14well the task you are embarking on today
27:16could not be more crucial
27:19britain currently
27:20has a deficit of 800 million pounds
27:23what we need is a bailout of at least 1 000 million
27:32only the americans can give it to us
27:38i know you like to do things your own way
27:42but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity
27:46and i would urge you for once
27:49to play things by the book
27:54what happens if i fail
27:56we don't get the bailout
27:59then we break our promises to the imf
28:02exhaust the credit facilities available to us
28:05face a run on sterling
28:08and the government would be left with no option but to devalue the pound
28:12and that's bad
28:14devaluation
28:15it's worse than bad
28:17it would relegate sterling to the second division of the world's currencies
28:20and britain to the third division of the world's economies
28:24it would mean international humiliation
28:27political ignominy and
28:31financial ruin
28:41president johnson
28:43president johnson
28:47grandfather johnson
28:48we're not a leader
28:48and we're not a leader
28:50we're not a leader
28:57and we're not a leader
29:07but to go to the world's countries
29:12and the third division of the world's currencies
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:34I...
29:36I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?
30:05I do know these days one's not allowed to think anything other
30:10than what a great statesman Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:15Of course he'll say nothing.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most
30:21the frustrations and resentments
30:23that can build up from a life as a number two,
30:28a support act,
30:31even of someone you adore.
30:36You've spent three years as Vice President.
30:39I've spent my whole life as Vice Queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a Vice Queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place to deal with the fallout?
30:51Oh, no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed.
30:56Thoroughly, enthusiastically, unreservedly.
30:59He said, um, if I remember rightly,
31:04Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother
31:06just to take the skin off her ass
31:08to make a drum to beat his own praises.
31:18Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them, I'm afraid to say,
31:37a little off-colour.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:44Um, well, the first one went a little bit...
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware. Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president countered with,
32:16there was a young man from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed with an enormously large...
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone thought that was long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:34Princess Margaret won the evening with this one.
32:37There was a young lady from Dallas
32:40who used a dynamite stick as a phallus.
32:43Oh!
32:44They found her...
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina in North Carolina...
32:55And her arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:08Then, apparently, there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be, I can be, greater, sooner, or later.
33:41I'm greater than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:50She finally snagged at home at four in the morning.
33:53Newly Anglophile President Johnson having agreed to the bailout.
33:57A special relationship more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:03That's what I thought, you crook.
34:04And all because Margaret was all the things I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:10No, I...
34:12Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:18Oh, you're all those things, too.
34:21No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two, I would pick dependability every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice to be dazzling on occasion, too.
34:37You are dazzling.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:41Anything you can say, I can say.
34:44Faster?
34:45I can say anything faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:50No, you can't.
34:51No, you can't.
34:51No, you can't.
34:52No, you can't.
35:13I can't.
35:15Prime Minister.
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness.
35:20Very well played.
35:22Thank you, sir.
35:23Shall we?
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now,
36:19any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of...
36:21Envy?
36:22Spite?
36:22Good-natured teasing to keep one's feet on the ground.
36:26Everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally.
36:30Better than that.
36:31He met me at the airport.
36:34Ah.
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you
36:38to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs and your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking
36:56in view of how well it all went.
36:59about us doing it more often.
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties.
37:08But we didn't share duties.
37:09You just went to a dinner party.
37:12in your place.
37:14And represented crown and country with,
37:17I think we can agree,
37:20favourable results.
37:24Isn't it possible
37:25that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do.
37:30Far too much pressure.
37:32Far too much responsibility.
37:34And I, too little.
37:36And I, too little.
37:36And I, too little.
37:37Having no role.
37:38Having nothing to do.
37:39Having nothing to do.
37:40It's soul destroying.
37:45All I'm asking is if you were prepared to share a little more.
37:52For Bezos sakes.
38:03Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:12Don't tell me you softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else
38:19by not having a more meaningful role.
38:21Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability and character
38:28and intelligence and flair,
38:31she does not deserve to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider expanding the role?
38:36Sharing the job a bit more?
38:38There are two answers to that question.
38:41Neither makes for pretty listening.
38:46Yes, the system is unequal.
38:48Unjust and cruel.
38:51And primogeniture divides and destroys families.
38:55The system stinks.
38:56But in its cruelty and injustice,
38:59it reflects something else,
39:00which is harsh and brutal,
39:03which no one is suggesting we rearrange.
39:06Life.
39:09We all desire equality,
39:11but here's the thing.
39:14We were not born equal.
39:18And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once
39:22I got drunk with that
39:23god-awful monster Tommy Lassells?
39:26Well, that night,
39:27he shared with me his theory
39:30about the House of Windsor.
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since.
39:35Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine
39:41a mythological creature.
39:44A rice-addler.
39:46A polycephalus.
39:48A two-headed eagle.
39:50For the purposes of this conversation,
39:52I want you to think of it
39:53as representing us.
39:55This family.
39:58Your family.
40:00And there have always been
40:02the dazzling Windsors
40:03and the dull ones.
40:04Your father.
40:06A saint.
40:07But dull.
40:09Sorry.
40:11Your grandfather, too.
40:13George V?
40:14Deadly dull.
40:16At the height of the Great War,
40:18when the Tsar and the Kaiser
40:20and the Emperor of Austria
40:22were dazzling the world,
40:23where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album.
40:27His wife.
40:28Queen Mary.
40:29Wonderful.
40:29Ditchwater.
40:30And so it goes
40:32through George V
40:33to Queen Victoria
40:34and back
40:35an uninterrupted line
40:37of stolid, turgid dreariness.
40:40Culminating in me.
40:41Yes, but
40:44alongside that
40:45dull, dutiful, reliable,
40:47heroic strain
40:48runs another.
40:52The dazzling, the brilliant,
40:54the individualistic
40:55and dangerous.
40:59And so,
41:00for every Victoria,
41:02you get
41:02an Edward VII.
41:04For every George V,
41:05you get a Prince Eddie.
41:07For every George VI,
41:08you get
41:09an Edward VIII.
41:12For every Lilibet,
41:15you get a Margaret.
41:17And she may have had
41:19a success in Washington,
41:20but let's not delude ourselves
41:22that serious diplomacy
41:23can be achieved
41:24through drinking and dancing.
41:25Let Margaret have the glory.
41:28But let's not rewrite
41:29the constitutional rule book
41:31because she got lucky once.
41:33And where does that
41:34leave my relationship
41:35with her?
41:36Unchanged.
41:37You're the Queen.
41:39And she's your
41:40dangerous baby sister.
41:45She's outside.
41:46She knows we're
41:47talking about her.
41:48Then let's join her.
41:50That feverish mind of hers
41:52needs no encouragement.
41:57She's outside.
41:58She's outside.
41:59She's outside.
42:02She's outside.
42:12She's outside.
42:14She's outside.
42:16She's outside.
42:17She's outside.
42:18She's outside.
42:19She's outside.
42:19She's outside.
42:21She's outside.
42:23She's outside.
42:24She's outside.
42:25She's outside.
42:33What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701,
42:40not the wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:52Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne.
42:56Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life
43:02and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the rulebook
43:07so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play.
43:14Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
43:43Margaret!
43:44Let's speak to my parents.
43:50Pena Hmph.
44:12Opinion.ą¤£
44:24I don't know.
44:50I don't know.
45:29I don't know.
45:51I don't know.
46:17I don't know.
46:23But when you're crying, you bring on the rain, so stop your sighing, be happy again.
46:34Keep on smiling, keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
47:13I don't know.
47:23You
