00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:36We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:50Hansington, 3742.
01:53Tommy.
01:56See you soon.
01:58Bye.
02:01Bye.
02:07Bye.
02:12Bye.
02:14Bye.
02:15Bye.
04:15Hello, all of you.
04:17Hello.
04:18Hello, Daddy.
04:19Hello, Daddy.
04:20I can picture you all perfectly sitting there wishing it was Creature from the Black Lagoon.
04:26But instead, this is just boring old me arriving at King George Island. Look!
04:37A hundred miles off the coast of Antarctica.
04:40There's your Daddy.
04:41Is that Daddy?
04:43And nestled between the white bones of ancient Wales.
04:47Here we've made some new friends and Mike was rather smitten.
04:51Look how tall they are.
04:52He's got a beard.
04:53Yes, yes, they're all grown beards.
04:55It makes them look a bit shifty.
04:57Oh, no, don't say that.
04:58It makes them look like an explorer.
05:05What's that?
05:06Oh, yes, this is very funny, Molly.
05:07We've even installed some signage so we can find our way home.
05:12Oh, Buckingham Palace.
05:14Oh, that's good.
05:15I like that.
05:16It's a bit of a commute to the office, though.
05:31Luckily, we found some friends for company.
05:33The British hunting aerosurvey teams who make excellent tennis companions.
05:39Oh, look, they're all playing tennis.
05:42Isn't that silly?
05:43What does that mean?
05:44Some things about huskies that you never knew.
05:47They have eyes of different colours.
05:49Oh, like the Kaiser.
05:51Oh, Mummy.
05:53But most of all, they really, really like tennis balls.
05:58Yes, we can see that.
05:58And they have claws to ensure they don't slip on the ice.
06:01Oh, look, now, Philip's on the ice.
06:11Joining our family of animals are the penguins and seals,
06:16who send their love to you all.
06:18As do I.
06:22Your loving papa and husband, Philip.
06:48Good morning.
06:52Tomi?
06:56your majesty i thought you were supposed to be in happy retirement yeah i am now well then what
07:01on earth are you doing here oh dear either you miss the place more than you could bear
07:06which would be tragic yes well there's a serious problem and you've been called in to help just a
07:13routine matter with colonel adine it's hardly routine if you send one of the royal cars
07:19well in actual fact that's my car we gave your car you did ma'am as part of the farewell
07:25package
07:26not the driver too surely driver too was that me i believe so well you've always held a very special
07:34place in all of our hearts tommy anyway i must go windsor ma'am i know sandrium michael's rearranged
07:43a few things to give me a couple of days off quite right
07:57you did well to bring this to me michael
08:01i've served three generations of the royal family four monarchs and then a good many things to protect
08:10them mostly from themselves but this is the first time iceland ever to save someone else's marriage
08:18in order to safeguard the crown not that we give a fig about parkers or their happiness you understand
08:24not a fig tommy
08:56dear philip
08:58sortir
08:59i cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the film you sent it was lovely to set eyes
09:04on you again. And the children were very impressed by the whales and penguins. You looked very
09:12handsome, I thought, in your wailing outfit, and a suit too. And I could never forget what
09:22my grandmother said to me about being married to a man with this. She goes on, but actually
09:30no, I'm not going to repeat that. I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome
09:43away to his Royal Highness.
10:12Good morning.
10:13Good morning.
10:14Good morning.
10:16First of all, I must thank you for the way in which you've all carried on with us. And
10:24for the manner in which Rab has very competently stood in for me in my absence. You've kept
10:31me informed of all the major decisions that had to be taken. In all these months, we have
10:37been a united government. And we shall remain a united government.
10:44But we're not a united government, are we, Anthony? The war you insisted on has left us
10:51as divided as Caesar and Pompey and the country in chaos. There is no petrol in the pumps. There
10:57are no tins on the shelves. Our allies are aligned against us. Our international reputation
11:03is in tatters. How adroitly your weathervane spins, Harold. You were for the war, as I remember.
11:15Only as long as it was legal. You liar. Liar! You wanted it every bit as much as I did.
11:37Torn off NASA's scalp with your own fingernails, given the chance. Taking the oil from that
11:43canal and set the Middle East ablaze. You've lost the trust of the people and of the party. It's the
11:50end of the road. The road which you willingly led me down! And would you abandon me here?
12:22All of you. Come now, Anthony. You know as well as I. There is no
12:36justice in politics.
12:59Captain Lassells? Mrs. Parker. What brings you here?
13:06Well, a retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London. What are you reading, may
13:14I ask? Tell me that it's romantic poetry?
13:17Military history. The campaigns of Napoleon. Your son? Yes. Lieutenant Commander Parker must be very proud.
13:27He might be. If he knew what the children looked like. He's away again, on tour.
13:33I have my sympathy. I know from my own wife how difficult that can be, being left alone with the
13:39children for days, sometimes weeks on end.
13:43Well, I'm sure that strong marriages find a way through it. I'm afraid it's broken arse.
13:50I am sad to hear that. Might I ask you to hold off on any
13:55instruction or public announcement just a little while longer. As we both know, the Duke of Edinburgh is performing important
14:03royal duties on this tour and we wouldn't want any story breaking in the newspapers that might undermine his efforts.
14:13Or impugn the royal marriage.
14:16That's what you came here for, isn't it? This wasn't a coincidence at all. You came here because you knew
14:24it's where I'd be. And you wanted to put in a word on their behalf. It's pathetic.
14:30Still they're round-the-clock, Lackey, even in retirement.
14:55Sorry to disturb you, ma'am. I just had a call from Dining Street.
14:59The Prime Minister has requested an audience as a matter of urgency.
15:03He's on the train. He will be with us by 3pm.
15:37Enoughs! Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough...!
16:19Come on, come on, come on!
16:28Come on, come on, come on!
16:48Of course, I asked for second opinions.
16:51I asked for third opinions.
16:53I implored them to let me carry on.
16:56But I'm afraid the doctors were of one voice, one mind.
17:01The time has come to put my health above the country and to offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No.
17:30But I...
17:33I think you thought it.
17:39I...
17:44I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed.
17:50And I was sorry to see you lie to the house when you told them that you had no prior
17:55knowledge of the Israelis' intentions.
17:59We both know that to be untrue.
18:02But wrong though it was, I did have sympathy for you.
18:10To have waited in the wings for so long.
18:13And to have supported a great man like Winston so...
18:18So patiently, so loyally.
18:22And then to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him.
18:29To do nothing is often the best course of action.
18:35But I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be.
18:42History was not made by those who did nothing.
18:49So I suppose it's only natural that ambitious men, driven men, want to go down in history.
18:58Or make history by going down.
19:29I do think the time has now come where we have no option but to tell Her Majesty about the
19:34Parker Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is, or isn't, in the matter,
19:42that newspapers will be newspapers and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state of the royal marriage.
19:48Hmm.
19:52I sense trepidation, Michael.
19:55If you'd rather, I can always handle it myself.
19:58No, I'll take care of this.
20:00Try to find a moment on the train to mention a term, Her Majesty.
20:04Good luck, Michael.
20:13Sorry to disturb you, Blam.
20:15The telegram arrived from Mount Salisbury.
20:18The recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr. Macbetham.
20:23Of course.
20:31Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:32Ah, it's just to say, and we could, of course, discuss this on our return to the palace if Her
20:39Majesty prefers.
20:41No, do sit down, Michael.
20:46Um, but it seems that Mrs. Parker, who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
20:59Um, she has decided to sue her husband for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
21:12Um, and that while, of course, there is no suggestion whatsoever of any impropriety on the part of his royal
21:21highness, the Duke of Edinburgh,
21:22we should perhaps be bracing ourselves for one or two irritating headlines.
21:27Why?
21:28Whatever for?
21:31What is it that she's alleging?
21:33Cruelty, unlawful desertion, and, uh...
21:39It's your adultery, madam.
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary,
21:49a close friend, and there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club,
22:01bragging about exploits on the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:15I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:13I gather soundings have been taken,
23:16and that you have been chosen by your colleagues as the man most able to unite the government
23:21and lead this country following St. Anthony's resignation.
23:24Yes, ma'am.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Although I fear you have inherited something of a poisoned chalice.
23:35It's true.
23:37The storm is now raging against us.
23:41With Eden's war, we've discarded the moral advantage or any goodwill we once held,
23:48not to mention the dire economic situation.
23:52It would have been quite ruinous.
23:55But it wasn't just Eden's war, was it?
23:59It was a war prosecuted by a government of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember that you were one of the loudest voices in support of the war in the
24:14beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part, I believe.
24:24In any mess.
24:25One always has to accept one's own part.
24:29One always has to accept one's own part.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:52Michael.
24:55Could you ask them to send around one of the cars?
25:26I don't know.
25:53Yeah, a moment.
26:03What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I told Baron to be discreet.
26:18But somehow the letter got back to Eileen.
26:20And now she has ridden to the palace.
26:26You've noticed her intention to sue me, Footforce.
26:33Which means you've got that you-know-who.
26:38Yes.
26:40Well, I think we have to assume so.
27:03Good morning.
27:04Good morning.
27:05Jeremy.
27:05Good morning.
27:08Yes.
27:32I remember how we used to do this in Malta.
27:35Go grocery shopping together.
27:38It feels like a long time ago.
27:40Yes.
27:49The reason I came here today is because I heard, with great sadness,
27:58that there are difficulties in your marriage.
28:02And I would like to know if there's anything that I or anyone else can do to help.
28:06My marriage to Mike is beyond help.
28:11I see. Our separation has been inevitable for some time.
28:15I had intended to divorce Mike years ago,
28:18but because of the attention surrounding group Captain Townsend and Princess Margaret,
28:22I decided to hold back.
28:27But that was then. This is now.
28:32What's changed?
28:34Nothing has changed.
28:37That's the problem.
28:39It just got worse.
28:40And while some women may elect to put up with this sort of humiliation,
28:45I simply have too much respect for myself and my children to bear it.
28:52I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
28:55I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
29:36Don't bury it, ma'am.
29:40Or sweep it away.
29:42It's there, in black and white.
29:54Might I ask you a favour?
29:58Would you hold off your announcement just while we work out what to do in light of this?
30:02I've heard enough of favours to you people.
30:07My entire adult life has been favours to you.
30:11You people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage to families and marriages in your service.
30:18I've instructed a solicitor.
30:20That's my decision.
30:28Gentlemen.
30:30I would like to make a brief statement on behalf of my client, Mrs. Eileen Parker.
30:39Having endured an unhappy marriage for some years now,
30:43I have come to the sad conclusion that a formal separation is the best option for us both.
30:50My husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the responsibilities of parenthood or marriage
30:57and divorce remains the only solution.
31:11Read all about it. Read all about it.aces
31:21are hidden from the families in support. My
31:24husband has shown no kind of retirement.
31:32Oh, my God.
32:00Oh, my God.
32:32...and he feels confident in Lord Aydan, $48.
32:36He thinks we can ride it out.
32:39You and I both know that's wishful thinking.
32:43I've had my own telegram from London.
32:53I, I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:05There.
33:08You'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:29I hereby offer my resignation.
33:34As Principal Private Secretary to the Duke of Edinburgh, active immediately.
33:40Accepted.
33:45You've worked for me for long enough, you know the rules.
33:48We are how it works.
33:51There is no room for mistakes.
33:54There is no room for scandal.
33:56There is no room for humanity.
34:01I think you should probably leave us in Gibraltar.
34:05Or might I suggest a policy of no comment on all counts, and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:24There, there...
34:40There is no room forOYers.
34:42There.
34:42Mother Parker!
34:43It's in to I use them!
35:00Pick up.
35:02Go on, pick up!
35:09following the resignation of lieutenant commander parker the british press
35:13have fallen into line and been overwhelmingly supportive but i'm afraid the foreign newspapers
35:21not been so kind yesterday a story broke in the baltimore sun where baltimore mummy claiming that
35:30the capital was awash with rumor that the duke of edinburgh was romantically involved with an
35:36unnamed woman whom he met on a regular basis in the west end apartment of a society photographer
35:41baron nahum nahum is also president of the thursday club in soho of which the duke of edinburgh
35:49is a founder member anyway that story has rather lit the touch paper the british press has caught on
35:56with the manchester guardian reporting not since the first rumors of a romance between the former
36:02king edward the eighth and mrs ernest simpson have americans gobbled up the london dispatches so
36:10avidly go on the sunday pictorial on its front page reminds its readers that the royal family is loved
36:19and envied throughout the world because it is a family time magazine has a headline too much
36:26thursday-ing it goes on to say not since wallace simpson stalked the corridors of buckingham palace
36:33have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily towards those chintz drapes
36:53i say we fly the duke of edinburgh back straight away
36:57that's one thought your majesty and it's a good one the devil's advocate might argue and i'd be
37:04interested to hear michael's thoughts on this that the duke's early return obviously stage managed
37:11by the palace might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers and pour even more petrol
37:17on the flames i would agree and we don't want that
37:26no
37:33so what then
37:43what
37:48yes
37:52the admiral will like a word sir it's fine tell him he can come as a matter of fact
37:58he suggested you go to see him sir
38:24thanks sir
38:39Admiral.
38:41Could you come in? Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch regarding your reunion photo call with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06...are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:20...
39:21...
39:22...
39:24Oh, no.
40:06Hi.
40:11Not that one. One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deftleriness.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat.
41:02Sir.
41:21Darling.
41:23Darling.
41:23OK.
42:53The president is seen here as the photographers are all over the world.
42:57The queen and the two of Edinburgh, the light of the world's eyes, the world's great will not marry.
43:02Now the eyes of the world turn towards the royal yacht on which they have sought shelter.
43:09No, Fleur, no, I see.
43:20That was the palace press secretary.
43:25In his view, the steps that we've taken...
43:27The share we've put on.
43:31The steps that we've taken haven't quite done the trick.
43:37The rumours still haven't gone away.
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this.
43:57No.
44:14So I...
44:17Thought we might take this opportunity...
44:20Without children, without...
44:22Distraction.
44:25To lay our cards on the table.
44:29And talk frankly, for once.
44:33About what needs to change...
44:34To make this marriage work.
44:37Right.
44:38Who goes first?
44:40Stupid question.
44:41I've learned one thing by now, it's that I go second.
44:45If I am to go first, that's where I'd start.
44:52You're complaining.
44:53My complaining?
44:54It's incessant.
44:55Whining and whinging like a child.
44:57Are you surprised?
44:59The way those god-awful moustaches that run the palace continue to infantilise me.
45:03Perhaps if you weren't behaving like an infant.
45:04Giving me lists, sending me instructions.
45:06Do this, don't do that.
45:07Wear this, don't wear that.
45:08Say this, don't say that.
45:09Can you imagine anything more humiliating?
45:11Yes.
45:12As a matter of fact, I can.
45:16I've learned more about humiliation in the past few weeks than I hoped I would in a lifetime.
45:28I've never felt more alone than I have in the past five months.
45:33And why do you think that was?
45:36Because of your behavior.
45:38Because you sent me away.
45:40Yes, and why do you think that was?
45:41I don't know.
45:42You tell me.
45:43Because you're lost.
45:45You're lost in your role and you're lost in yourself.
45:49Christ.
45:51Look.
45:54I realize that this marriage has turned out to be something quite different to what we both imagined.
46:00Understatement.
46:01And that we both find ourselves in a...
46:05Prison.
46:09In a situation that is unique.
46:15Our marriage is different to any other in the country because the exit route which is open to everyone else...
46:21Divorce?
46:21Yes.
46:23Divorce.
46:25Divorce.
46:27It's not an option for us.
46:30Ever.
46:38Divorce.
46:43No.
46:56This restlessness of yours, it has to be a thing of the past.
47:03It's what I need, and it's what our family needs.
47:10The monarchy's too fragile.
47:11You keep telling me yourself.
47:13One more scandal, one more national embarrassment, and it would all be over.
47:25So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in, not out.
47:31What?
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking what it will take.
48:02All right.
48:05To make it work, to make it bearable, I'll need the respect and acknowledgement of the
48:13dreaded moustaches.
48:15Please stop calling them that.
48:17I'll stop calling them that when they don't all have one.
48:19An end to their snobbery and prejudice.
48:22No more being sniffed at for being a foreigner with a background.
48:25Nobody understands.
48:26Will you earn their respect with your behavior?
48:28No.
48:29No.
48:29No.
48:30I will earn their respect with the only thing those creatures understand.
48:34A gesture, a statement, something irrefutable that shuts them up and commands their respect.
