00:00:09To be continued...
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:23Let's go.
00:02:29There.
00:02:30There.
00:02:32There.
00:02:35There.
00:02:37Come on.
00:03:06Come on.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:21Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:26Come on.
00:04:34All right, all right, all right, all right.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:27We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day, Winston, ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:38The gravest, what is written here, brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear trooper, happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, dear trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot, brother.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:49Oh, no, it's Natalie, I knew the same thing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:16Oh, no.
00:11:17Oh, my God.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique!
00:11:22Parfait!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48So simple.
00:11:58Oh, my God.
00:12:07Oh, my God!
00:12:12Oh, my God!
00:12:15Oh, my God.
00:12:16Oh, my God!
00:12:17And there's a whole life with my love.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me. The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens, then at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence. I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich dien. I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country. I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40What is this?
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family? Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George? Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:14To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:37The third of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:59The evangelist, ma'am.
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Finally.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head
00:15:41of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches, let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:35The company on the boat was dreadful, too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people, pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse.
00:19:11As we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Lucy.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:25Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba, dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:33Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness,
00:19:39it might be seen as a violation of the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country,
00:19:48but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost,
00:19:55as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:01All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:09And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:28Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:06Can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:24What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes, floor brushes, toothbrushes.
00:21:32Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak to me personally, but
00:21:42I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:48The Bible tells us, Colossians 127 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:58It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:28You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:39Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide it.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as Queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me.
00:23:54Define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I've spoken public, I was 12 years old, at school.
00:24:20The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:30No.
00:24:58We touched on that.
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my Council of War, my Brains Trust, politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a Major General attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I've much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:40A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes.
00:28:13They're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:43The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man, Hitler's personal translator, was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:53Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated, Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret
00:32:17papers which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material, hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back, there was one file...
00:33:09...that was one file...
00:33:09...that was one file.
00:33:09pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:26Yes.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country?
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:05I think it's the man you can draw on your feet.
00:34:06I think it's the man you can draw on the table.
00:34:19I think an able one of the signs you want to contain theammary of the world.
00:34:19You know what I think about that.
00:34:21You know what we're here on the table.
00:34:29I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness, Foreign Secretary, please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:32Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like
00:35:39we now have several options.
00:35:42Peace.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of Ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future, his Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:33My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find three posts where I could
00:36:41do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15I'm counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:19Your loving husband, David.
00:37:51The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:02Ah, yes. Your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes. That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure. I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:26Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter. A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one.
00:38:38And might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country. The greatest chance. You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway, one or two ideas came up. For jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:10Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government and I've
00:39:17been assured of that support.
00:39:18Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up. The first is the Ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh, as a Special Liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work. Entertaining.
00:40:02Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:24Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's utter nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:55As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:06No.
00:43:07You better be there.
00:43:12No.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:17No.
00:43:18No.
00:43:20No.
00:43:22No.
00:43:24So the...
00:43:24Wow.
00:43:25It's all right.
00:43:29Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:37What have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:46I think it's time that he'd be forgiven.
00:43:48Are you mad?
00:43:49You can't forgive that man.
00:43:51Why not?
00:43:52What he did to this country.
00:43:53Those were different times.
00:43:56He's explained all that to me.
00:43:58I bet he did.
00:44:00Philip.
00:44:03Forgiveness is very important.
00:44:04Very important to me.
00:44:06It's not often I say this.
00:44:08So perhaps if I do.
00:44:10You will take it seriously.
00:44:17Ask...
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you.
00:44:22What?
00:44:24And tell him of your proposed course of action.
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that.
00:44:28Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing.
00:44:32I'd go and see him.
00:44:33In an unofficial capacity.
00:44:35For sherry or tea.
00:44:37Or human blood.
00:44:38Whatever that monster drinks.
00:44:40And ask him about your uncle.
00:44:43He was his private secretary while he was king.
00:44:45He knows everything there is to know.
00:45:06He knows about her.
00:45:17He'll go and see him.
00:45:24He's here.
00:45:26Your Majesty.
00:45:28Tommy.
00:45:29He's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:41Ah.
00:45:43Yes, those uniforms.
00:45:45Nineteenth century?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:49And that standard is the Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo?
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:58Oh.
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:07A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:25I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life, and as an example of a Christian in
00:46:33a Christian country, to forgive.
00:46:39Your Majesty, that would, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:51Before you make your decision, ma'am, I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:05Yes, ma'am.
00:47:09The Duke of Windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king.
00:47:14Surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive
00:47:32me, ma'am, with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
00:47:54It became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box.
00:48:00But we needn't have worried.
00:48:02Because then we had the application.
00:48:09Having promised to retire from public life, we now know that he had no such intention.
00:48:15Why else would the pair of them decide to visit Hitler in Germany?
00:48:29The Fuhrer labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:32So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip, at the home of Herr Hess, that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England, effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father
00:48:54in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe.
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion, if necessary.
00:49:07And there were visits to SS training schools and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13And, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:38The Duke was persuaded.
00:49:45that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information which gave
00:49:50Germany time to change its plans and in less than a month Paris fell to German
00:49:58occupation but perhaps worst of all the Duke told the German government that
00:50:05resolve in the United Kingdom in the face of the German aerial bombardment was
00:50:09weakening and that continued bombing that is the continued slaughter of his
00:50:16fellow countrymen and former subjects would I quote soon make Britain ready for
00:50:23peace
00:50:51the problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word S I N sin from
00:51:02Psalm 58 the wicked are strange from the womb they go astray as soon as they be born
00:51:08speaking of God looks deep down inside God sees how you really are down inside now
00:51:18you may be out with legion teeth
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country I was keen
00:51:41to help you and weighing it all up the amount of time that has passed from my
00:51:50affection for you personally all spoke in its favor but
00:52:00but on balance
00:52:04I think not
00:52:08and I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication you are
00:52:13permitted to return to United Kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the
00:52:18Sovereign
00:52:20yes
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission
00:52:29who's fed you this poison your mother
00:52:34no
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's
00:52:38I came to my own mind
00:52:40well you have no mind of your own
00:52:42that's why everyone's so thrilled with you
00:52:44the last royal to have a mind of his own was me and that's why they threw me out
00:52:48fine
00:52:50I will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage
00:52:58to the monarchy
00:52:59me with my willfulness
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes
00:53:10our ears
00:53:11to what was being said about you
00:53:15we dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications
00:53:18as cruel chatter
00:53:19in light of your decision to give up the throne
00:53:22but when the truth finally came out
00:53:25the truth
00:53:29it makes a mockery of even the central tenets of Christianity
00:53:33there is no possibility of my forgiving you
00:53:36the question is
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself
00:54:10push me
00:54:12look forward sir
00:54:29all right sir
00:54:29morning
00:54:30morning sir

00:55:26reverend graham your majesty
00:55:28your majesty
00:55:33you're very kind to find time for me again
00:55:39do sit down
00:55:50reverend graham
00:55:53i asked you here today because
00:55:56there's something that
00:55:57i'd very much like to hear your views on
00:56:01ma'am
00:56:04forgiveness
00:56:08are there any
00:56:10circumstances do you feel where
00:56:13one can be a good christian
00:56:16and yet not forgive
00:56:21christian teaching is very clear on this
00:56:23no one is beneath forgiveness
00:56:26dying on the cross jesus
00:56:28himself asked the lord to forgive those that killed him
00:56:33yes
00:56:37but
00:56:39we must remember his words
00:56:41they know not what they do
00:56:45that forgiveness
00:56:46it was conditional
00:56:48true
00:56:49but he still forgave
00:56:51god himself
00:56:53forgives us all
00:56:55who are we to reject
00:56:56the example of god
00:56:57mere mortals
00:57:00we are all mortals
00:57:02that is our fate
00:57:03but we need not be
00:57:05unchristian ones
00:57:17the solution
00:57:18for being unable to forgive
00:57:21one asks for forgiveness
00:57:23oneself
00:57:24humbly
00:57:25and sincerely
00:57:28and one prays for those that one cannot forgive
00:57:55for being unable to forgive
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am. I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06I do not mean he's drunk because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:12Oh, your dear...
00:59:14Your dear...
00:59:16Your dear mar was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38It's you.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50On the contrary, it was entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57Oh, it is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31Oh, yes.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:34No!
01:01:01No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:04No!
01:01:05No!
01:01:06No!
01:01:08No!
01:01:10No!
01:01:11No!
01:01:11No!
01:01:12No!
01:01:12No!
01:01:21No!
