00:00:00You
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.
00:02:18Shut your auf.
00:02:37It's easier to find them to....
00:02:46You're right.
00:02:50Come on.
00:03:18Here it is.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:45Freedom 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.
00:04:12Oh, my God.
00:04:25Let's see how good it is.
00:04:27Let's go.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:28Don'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.
00:06:13Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:26Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:33Tony, ever.
00:06:35The publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest.
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:07:30Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:00Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:29Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:47Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:47He's so young.
00:08:48He's not young.
00:08:49He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely.
00:08:52A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door to door in North Carolina.
00:09:03What?
00:09:04There's a humility to that which I like.
00:09:07Are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:13Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices
00:09:24and shops and live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel not of despair but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:36Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling.
00:09:45Any zealot shout.
00:09:46When you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way,
00:09:51you will soon prefer your own ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good
00:10:00and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:23Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:33Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:50Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:56It's me.
00:10:57It's me.
00:10:58It's me.
00:10:59Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique.
00:11:22Buffet.
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:43I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:50I can't I'm sorry?
00:11:58Oh, no, no.
00:12:02Oh.
00:12:02No, no.
00:12:03It's
00:12:07You.
00:12:07Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:12:12No, no!
00:12:13Oh, yes!
00:12:13Oh, no, yes.
00:12:14No, no, no, no.
00:12:15Oh, no, no, no.
00:12:16Oh, no.
00:12:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me.
00:12:57The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens,
00:13:04then at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it,
00:13:12but 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 Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40What's this?
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I 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?
00:13:51Delusion.
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?
00:13:58Why 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,
00:14:08who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government
00:14:32for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start 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,
00:14:55do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The 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
00:15:14to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor
00:15:18and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:27that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37..crusades,
00:15:37which would not be compatible with your role
00:15:40as the head of the church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor,
00:15:51has 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.
00:16:06Hmm.
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.
00:16:53Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:16:59This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05Albert?
00:17:07Yes, 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.
00:18:31It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people.
00:18:41Pestering 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.
00:18:54Who 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.
00:19:21Rosie.
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.
00:19:35Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign, gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And 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, and the Foreign Secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:34Just 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.
00:21:28Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak to me personally.
00:21:41But I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:47What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says,
00:21:53That a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It'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.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:14And 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.
00:22:40Yes.
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.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures 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,
00:23:12even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury are 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, define 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.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29That's not all.
00:24:31No.
00:24:35No.
00:24:38No.
00:24:39No.
00:24:39No.
00:24:44No.
00:24:49No.
00:24:50No.
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.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:02Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:08Principled 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...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:27:00That'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 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.
00:27:30Well, then, yes.
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.
00:27:41A 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, the whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:57Now, 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, they'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.
00:30:27The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:28The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:42The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some 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.
00:31:33Bernhard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmid, Dr. Paul Schmid.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmid asked his assistant, von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch had duly burned, the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:35hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations,
00:33:12in particular the relationship of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31I'm unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39You are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country?
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:04I'm sorry.
00:34:08Let's go.
00:34:13What?
00:34:18What about me?
00:34:26I'm afraid.
00:34:27I don't know.
00:35:02I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:18Please.
00:35:23You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:32Following their representations,
00:35:34and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
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.
00:36:04Your Royal Highness.
00:36:07Your Royal Highness.
00:36:09Your Royal Highness.
00:36:26Your Royal Highness.
00:36:27Your Royal Highness.
00:36:28Your Royal Highness.
00:36:30Your Royal Highness.
00:36:34Your Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today,
00:36:38who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:43I 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.
00:37:05To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:05Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:20Your loving husband.
00:37:23David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So.
00:38:22Talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27No, actually I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A 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.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51But I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway.
00:39:01One or two ideas came up for jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government and I've
00:39:17been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Capwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, 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.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, 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.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:29Which 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 out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940,
00:40:55it states that you were considering publicly going against the government
00:41:00and pledging your support for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the King.
00:41:04In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain
00:41:11where you 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.
00:41:20Yes, 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.
00:41:46You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed,
00:42:02that England and Germany should never be enemies again after the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People 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.
00:42:23People 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.
00:43:24Everything all right?
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:38Goodness, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:46I think it's time that he be forgiven.
00:43:48Are you mad? You can't forgive that man.
00:43:51Why not?
00:43:52What he did to this country.
00:43:53How are you?
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 to me.
00:44:06It's not often I say this, so perhaps if I do, you will take it seriously.
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?
00:44:30Will.
00:44:30He's retired for one thing.
00:44:32Go and see him.
00:44:33In an unofficial capacity.
00:44:35For sherry or tea.
00:44:37Or human blood, whatever 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.
00:45:03At this point he was a little old man and my son has been hurt.
00:45:06But he is a complete enemy.
00:45:07He was a teenager.
00:45:08He was a teenager.
00:45:26Your Majesty.
00:45:28Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:39Now, don't say anything.
00:45:43It's those uniforms.
00:45:45It's 19th century.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo.
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:15Shall 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.
00:46:38Your 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.
00:46:57I'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, surrounded himself with a new breed
00:47:16of courtier, men such as Carl, 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, but
00:48:00we needn't have worried, because 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 had labelled the trip an unofficial state visit, so it is unsurprising that it was on that same
00:48:35trip.
00:48:36At the home of the home of Herr Hesse, that the plan was 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, and there were visits to SS training schools
00:49:10and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13And, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:27Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34When a German aircraft crashed in Belgium, carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of France, the Duke wasted
00:49:42no time in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information,
00:49:49which gave Germany time to change its plans, and in less than a month, Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all, the Duke told the German government that resolve in the United Kingdom in the face
00:50:08of the German aerial bombardment was weakening,
00:50:10and that continued bombing, that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects, would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:15God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now, you may be out with Legion T.
00:51:20We're fine.
00:51:21Culture, a church member, a good standing in the community, but it's your heart and heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you, and weighing it all up,
00:51:45the amount of time that has passed,
00:51:49and my affection for you, personally, all spoke in its favor.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:09that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who's fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your 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.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and 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 to 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,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it as fabrications,
00:53:18as cruel chatter in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:23But 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?
00:54:07I don't think of many asCalma,
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:30Your majesty?
00:55:34You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:39But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Because there is no means of all that you may have.
00:57:35You may have pernah the freedom to hear your тоже, humbly the wife, or uczest to forgive heroes, humbly and
00:57:53RPGs, humbly doe together.
00:58:50You're saying one for me.
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Press it where it is.
00:58:57We all know you have the ear of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am, I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06Not me and his friend, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:10Care to take guests?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your dear, your dear, your dear ma 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.
00:59:57It 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.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No.
01:00:35No.
01:00:35No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:24Thank you very much.
