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.
00:02:24We got something.
00:02:32We got something.
00:02:35We got something.
00:02:37I don't know.
00:02:41Let's go.
00:02:48Let's go.
00:03:11Let's go.
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.
00:04:02Get it translated.
00:04:04Let's go.

00:08:15Let's go.
00:08:17Let's go.
00:08:17for the first meeting in Britain of the American evangelist team headed by Billy Graham.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way, and when you turn to your own...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age. Precisely. A 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.
00:09:04There's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:06Are those people crying?
00:09:08What'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 and shops
00:09:25and 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. Hope for the world.
00:09:38Turning 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.
00:10:27Happy birthday to you.
00:10:29Good shot.
00:10:31Good shot.
00:10:34Well done.
00:10:42Help! Help!
00:10:48Ah! No!
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:56Excuse me.
00:10:58Where's your cap?
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. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:58Oh!
00:12:08Oh!
00:12:09Oh!
00:13:11I 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 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.
00:13:40Yes, 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?
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.
00:14:06Disciples 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,
00:14:33for 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...
00:15:37crusades,
00:15:38which would not be compatible with your role as the head of 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,
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.
00:16:07Oh.
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.
00:18:45All passwords.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:54who cheered my name and 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.
00:19:36Should 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, as a literary one.
00:19:56I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding.
00:20:04All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign,
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters, and the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monkton 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.
00:20:29Oh, 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?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:29Hairbrushes.
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
00:21:41speak to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 127 says that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:58It's Christ in you.
00:22:01It'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.
00:22:10You have received Christ as Saviour.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You 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.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide.
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.
00:23:10You 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.
00:24:11Mm-hmm.
00:24:13No, 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.
00:24:45Well, maybe, for just a little bit.
00:24:45It was just I thought it was a good person.
00:24:45But it's the most important thing.
00:24:46This is a very beautiful person.
00:24:46You're walking in there.
00:24:47But it's not as easy as you do.
00:24:47Well, it's the one who did not find you.
00:24:47It's not the same thing in the right.
00:24:49All away in the ship.
00:24:56Oh, no.
00:24:58I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have any 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.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:26:00Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:11Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are. Plot as all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abounds?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:31Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you, sir.
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 to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He 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 of politicians, artists and philosophers.
00:27:10Something 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.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:37Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man the charm.
00:27:43Contacts.
00:27:43Influence.
00:27:45And 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, 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.
00:28:42But all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving the 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.
00:29:06Oh, can 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.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:25I can truthfully say, all is well.
00:29:29Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:40Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You're ready for your hand, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennett.
00:29:54The senior historian in charge of publishing the German war files,
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.
00:30:26You're OK.
00:30:33What al-
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops, American, American troops, arrested a German
00:31:21soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:34Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator, ma'am, Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
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, Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, Von Lersch, to dispose
00:32:15of all the top secret papers which he had placed in archives, and Von Lersch had duly burned,
00:32:24the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material, hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05among the papers which Von Lersch kept back.
00:33:08There was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations, in particular, 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.
00:33:31Unaware 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 led back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:26I hope you for you to mention anything.
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.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like
00:35:39we 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.
00:36:04His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:21His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find
00:36:40three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:43I am so happy.
00:36:47These 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.
00:36:57So, only one obstacle remains, to get the blessing of the crown, which involves a brief trip
00:37:06back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again, your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:38:00Your majesty.
00:38:06Ah yes, your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk 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.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway, one or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which 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.
00:39:16And I've been 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.
00:39:25The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Capwin 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.
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.
00:40:18During 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 and 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, 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.
00:41:04In 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 Fuhrer'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.
00:42:13You 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're 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.
00:42:59Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:06I am the keeper of the scalesas and German propaganda.
00:43:37forgiveness what have I done now no not you uncle David I think it's time that
00:43:47he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man why not what he did to
00:43:52this country those are different times he's explained all that to me I bet he
00:43:59did Philip forgiveness is very important to me it's not often I say this so perhaps if I do
00:44:10you will take it seriously ask ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you what tell him of your proposed
00:44:25course of action I can't keep summoning him like that why not well he's retired for one
00:44:32thing go and see him in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea or human blood whatever that
00:44:39monster drinks and ask him about your uncle he was his private secretary while he was king
00:44:45he knows everything there is to know
00:45:02so
00:45:07so
00:45:09so
00:45:11so
00:45:26your majesty tommy it's terribly inconvenient
00:45:35ah you're mid battle yes ma'am now don't say anything
00:45:42ah yes those uniforms 19th century yes and that standard is duke of wellington
00:45:51very good ma'am so it's waterloo salamanca these troops of sir edward
00:46:03pakenham's third infantry division did you have them made a gift ma'am from your
00:46:10grandfather when i was in his service shall we ma'am yes
00:46:25i'm proposing to let the duke of windsor back into public life
00:46:31and as an example of a christian in a christian country
00:46:35to forgive
00:46:39your majesty that would
00:46:42in 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
00:46:55of the facts i've read the marburg files so have i i said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more yes 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
00:47:17men such as carl the duke of sax coburg a renowned nazi he also shared classified allied documents with
00:47:27the duchess of windsor who was herself we believe sharing a bed forgive me ma'am
00:47:33with the german ambassador
00:47:35it 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 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
00:48:28the fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit so it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of herr hess that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate the duke of windsor as king of england effectively betraying and dethroning your
00:48:53dear late father in return for german forces being given free reign across europe german troops were even
00:49:02promised to quell a colonial rebellion if necessary and there were visits to ss training schools and
00:49:10early versions of the concentration camps now of course the full horrors were yet to come nonetheless
00:49:17ss 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
00:49:40the invasion of france the duke wasted no time in letting his nazi friends know that allied forces
00:49:46had indeed recovered this priceless information which gave germany time to change its plans
00:49:54and in less than a month paris fell to german occupation but perhaps worst of all the duke
00:50:03told the german government that resolve in the united kingdom in the face of the german aerial
00:50:09bombardment was weakening 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 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 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 you may be out
00:51:19with legion teeth we're fine a church member of good standing in the community but it's your heart
00:51:26heart 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
00:51:49from 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
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication you are permitted to return
00:52:14to united kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the sovereign
00:52:20yes
00:52:22i find myself unable to grant that permission
00:52:29who's 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 that'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 to the monarchy me with my
00:53:01willfulness or 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
00:53:22but 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 the question is
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself

00:56:01ma'am
00:56:05forgiveness
00:56:08are there any
00:56:10circumstances
00:56:11do 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 himself 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
00:56:46that 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 the example of god
00:56:57mere mortals
00:57:01we are all mortals
00:57:02that is our fate
00:57:03but we need not be unchristian ones
00:57:17the solution
00:57:18the solution
00:57:19for being unable to forgive
00:57:21one asks for forgiveness
00:57:23oneself
00:57:25humbly
00:57:25and sincerely
00:57:28and one prays for those that one cannot forgive

00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know hideous thought but we all agree to put aside our historical
00:59:32differences to celebrate the one good thing we all have in common which is
00:59:39you and the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today tail between his
00:59:49legs it was hardly here on the contrary is entirely heroic and don't don't for
00:59:53one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity it is no it's
00:59:59not you protected your country and you protected the reputation of your family
01:00:08not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden
01:00:13that's Christ business in anyone's books so it's a gold star from Jesus
01:00:23and a gold star from me
