00:28You
00:55This party
00:56Mr. Heseltine says Britain should reach for the levers of power
00:59If only to prevent others pulling them first
01:02One dead and ulster gun battle between soldiers and terrorists
01:07Policemake arrests over ballot rigging in the transport union
01:10Confusion over plastic cling film after the government's cancer warning
01:15And animals to the slaughter
01:17How the RSPCA hopes to stop live animal exports
01:21Michael Heseltine was speaking to a conference in Hamburg
01:24Mr. Heseltine is now on his way back to London to be in the Commons this afternoon
01:29There Sir Geoffrey Howe is expected to spell out in detail the reasons for his resignation
01:34Is there anything Sir Geoffrey is likely to say this afternoon that could influence Mr. Heseltine
01:39On whether to throw his hat in the ring
01:40Well Sir Geoffrey is an extremely cautious man
01:43I suspect that his speech will be carefully written
01:46And I just wonder whether it will be sufficiently in code not really to damage the Prime Minister
01:52Sir Geoffrey has very deep personal and ideological differences with the Prime Minister
01:57I think he will spell them out
01:59But whether he will spell them out in clear set terms that amount to an assault on her leadership
02:04I think we have to wait and see for that
02:06I remind the House that a resignation statement is heard in silence and without interruption
02:13Sir Geoffrey Howe
02:16Mr. Speaker, sir
02:22I find to my astonishment
02:24that a quarter of a century has passed since I last spoke from one of these back benches
02:31Mr. Speaker, I believe that both the Chancellor and the Governor are cricketing enthusiasts
02:36So I hope that there is no monopoly of cricketing metaphors
02:40Increasingly, those of us close to the Prime Minister feel like opening batsmen being sent to the crease
02:45only to find the moment the first balls are bowled
02:48that our bats have been broken before the game
02:50by the team captain
02:59The point, Mr. Speaker, was perhaps more sharply put by a British businessman
03:04trading in Brussels and elsewhere
03:06who wrote to me last week
03:09People throughout Europe, he said
03:11see our Prime Minister's finger wagging
03:14and hear her passionate
03:17No
03:18No
03:19No
03:21Much more clearly than the content of the carefully worded formal texts
03:25It is too easy, he went on, for them to believe that we all share her attitudes
03:30For why else, he asked, has she been our Prime Minister for so long?
03:37This is, my correspondent concluded, a desperately serious situation for our country
03:43And sadly, Mr. Speaker, I have to agree
03:48The conflict of loyalty
03:50Of loyalty to my right honourable friend, the Prime Minister
03:54And after all, in two decades together
03:57That instinct of loyalty is still very real
04:02And of loyalty to what I perceive to be the true interests of the nation
04:06That conflict of loyalty
04:08That conflict of loyalty has become all too great
04:11I no longer believe it possible to resolve that conflict from within this government
04:16That is why I have resigned
04:18In doing so, I have done what I believe to be right for my party and my country
04:24Time has come for others to consider their own response
04:27To the tragic conflict of loyalties
04:30With which I have myself wrestled
04:32For perhaps too long
04:34A little bit
04:49Uh, the Queen?
04:51The drawing room, Your Highness
04:52Right
04:54She has resumed her affair with Major Hewitt
04:57With flagrant disregard for the agreement we made in our meeting with you
05:02A meeting in which it's now clear she brazenly lied to your face
05:08So, I hope you agree
05:09It leaves me with no option but to start a formal separation
05:12Oh, Charles
05:13I am wretchedly unhappy
05:14And yet there is someone else out there who would make me perfectly happy
05:17Quick, switch on the television
05:18Why?
05:19The Ides of March
05:21The Julius Caesar
05:22Or, when I say, Julia Caesar
05:25I'm sorry, we're in the middle of an important conversation
05:27Shh
05:27Her style of government
05:28He says her nightmare image of Europe risks the future of the nation
05:33Can Sir Geoffrey's peroration where he said
05:36The time has come for others to consider their response
05:39Be read in any other way than a clear invitation to open a contest for the leadership?
05:44That is one of the implications
05:45Some people would go further than that
05:47They would say that he's urging people to vote
05:49Yes, Mrs. Thatcher
05:50Margaret Thatcher is facing the most serious threat to her 11 years in power
05:54For the first time in 15 years
05:55Sir Geoffrey Howe, Mrs. Thatcher's longest serving colleague throughout her years in power
05:59Turned on her in the Commons today
06:01And accused her of risking the nation's future
06:04He was explaining for the first time
06:06Why he resigned as deputy prime minister
06:08Deserting her over her refusal to keep in step with the European Union
06:11MPs had expected a coded diplomatic speech
06:13Instead, years of resentment and frustration
06:16Were compressed into a picture of Mrs. Thatcher
06:19And her attitude to Europe
06:21He called on Conservative MPs to consider what he described as their conflict of loyalties
06:26They now delivered a stinging indictment of Thatcher in the House of Commons
06:29And virtually called on Tory members of Parliament
06:31And they hoped there would be some reaction in her favour
06:33It's now down to Conservative members of Parliament
06:36The Prime Minister Mark has planned your face as a challenge that could cost her her job
06:38Instead, MPs, ministers and peers are still trying to assess
06:42What one described as an incitement to mutiny
06:45And another said was an act of treachery
07:16The Prime Minister Mark
07:46The Prime Minister Mark
08:16The Prime Minister Mark
08:17I don't know.
09:11I don't know.
09:18I don't know.
09:24Come on, come on!
09:26Yes!
09:27Yes!
09:30Well done, Adelaide!
09:32I'm just kidding!
09:33No!
09:36Let me see you guys!
09:38Well done, darling.
09:41Not long until the holidays.
09:44Love you.
09:49Well done, C.
09:50I'll see you at Christmas.
09:53Goodbye.
10:14Is that it?
10:16We're not going to talk again, ever.
10:18Since every time we do talk,
10:20it ends in an argument,
10:21I'd say silence was preferable.
10:28What's this I hear about a trip to New York?
10:31Oh, don't look so surprised.
10:33The government requested it.
10:34Everyone knows I'm going.
10:35No one knew you were going on your own.
10:37What an ugly, avaricious piece of self-advancement that is.
10:41I'd sooner be doing it with my husband by my side.
10:45Doing what?
10:47The past few months,
10:48you've barely been in a fit state psychologically to go to the hairdresser,
10:51much less represent the crown.
10:52Although I gather you've still found time to see certain other people.
10:59I think this conversation has gone as far as it can.
11:02You were the one who insisted on talking.
11:06But I always said silence was preferable.
11:14One crisis rising above all the others, to bear your majesty.
11:19Yes.
11:19An inconvenience one would dearly like to avoid,
11:23given the significant challenges this country already faces.
11:27The crisis in the Gulf.
11:30Oh, that crisis.
11:32Well, that is the predominant challenge facing us.
11:35I thought you might be referring to matters closer to home.
11:38There are one or two minor domestic matters,
11:41some changes to fishing license conditions,
11:44but nothing I would want to waste your valuable time with.
11:48You don't think we should briefly discuss that speech?
11:52Which speech?
11:54The resignation speech made by Sir Geoffrey Howell
11:57that's caused such a stir.
11:58Why would we want to discuss that?
12:00Because a great deal of fuss is being made of it.
12:03Oh, poor Geoffrey.
12:04I had offered him the position of Deputy Prime Minister
12:07and he seems to have taken it rather the wrong way.
12:10In the newspapers, his speech is being seen
12:12as a direct challenge to your authority.
12:14I think that all depends on which newspapers you're reading.
12:18Not just newspapers. Television too.
12:21Or watching.
12:22And as sovereign, I must ask you,
12:26do you expect a leadership challenge?
12:29The Prime Minister came to see me today.
12:31Ah, yes.
12:32To discuss the crisis in the Gulf.
12:34What?
12:36Not the fact that she'd just been knifed in the back
12:38by one of her longest standing allies?
12:40Yeah, I asked her about that.
12:42Did you really?
12:43Yes.
12:45Not brave.
12:47What did she say?
12:48Well, she said the situation was unfortunate.
12:51But it amounts to little more than petty rivalries
12:55and resentments being played out at the level of the schoolyard.
12:58I shall see them off in no time.
13:01And really, we should not dignify an insignificant internal party squabble
13:08with any more of our precious time.
13:14No.
13:17No.
13:18No.
13:28No.
13:32No.
13:35No.
13:35No.
13:53No.
14:00No.
14:00No.
14:17No.
14:18No.
14:20No.
14:21It's not enough stop it going to a second ballot.
14:24Oh, it's a betrayal of the very worst kind.
14:30They owe their political lives to me.
14:33It's despicable.
14:34With those little men.
14:38And you want me to get on my knees to them?
14:46Never have them brought into me.
14:49One by one.
15:12First item on the agenda is Her Royal Highness's
15:15forthcoming solo visit to New York.
15:19Looking at the itinerary,
15:22our concern would be that it seems to be challenging.
15:26Several appointments each day.
15:28It's just four days, Edward. In multiple locations.
15:32We all know the toll a schedule of engagements can take,
15:36and I'm sure no one here would wish to see
15:38the Princess of Wales overstretched.
15:42Certainly not at a risk to her own health.
15:44The Princess of Wales's health is exemplary.
15:47Mental health.
15:50Not to mention the amount of time she'd be separated from her children,
15:54and the distress that might cause her.
15:56The Princess of Wales is well aware of what's required of her,
15:59and is very much looking forward to the trip.
16:20I have only one question.
16:25Will you support me?
16:29Of course, you will always have my unconditional support.
16:34I am with you.
16:35You can always count on me.
16:39The problem is...
16:40The numbers are against you.
16:42And your inability to unite the party behind you.
16:46Over Europe.
16:47Over the economy.
16:48Over taxation.
16:48Perhaps if your methods were less confrontational.
16:51And if you'd consulted with Cabinet rather than ruling by decree.
16:56Your rejection of core conservative values.
16:59Of moderation.
17:00Compassion.
17:01And your total disregard for the center ground.
17:04Leaves you vulnerable.
17:06Exposed.
17:07Isolated.
17:09I shall always defend you, Margaret.
17:12Always.
17:14But...
17:15As your friend.
17:16As an ally.
17:18I think I speak for the majority when I say...
17:21The time might have come for some new blood.
17:26And that it would be in everyone's best interests if you were to...
17:30Stand down.
17:47As an ally.
17:48Bastards.
17:51Bloody lot of them.
17:54Murderers.
18:03So...
18:05Is that it?
18:07Is that the end?
18:09No.
18:12I still have one card to play.
18:15Britain will send more troops to the Gulf.
18:18The Defense Secretary, Tom King...
18:20President Bush called to tell me he thought it barbaric.
18:25Chancellor Cole said it was inhumane.
18:28Michael Gorbachev reminded me that ten years ago, it was Britain holding democratic elections, whilst Russia staged cabinet coups.
18:39Now it's the other way around.
18:41What they all agree on is that getting rid of me is an act of national self-harm, which is
18:49why I've come to you, ma'am.
18:51That together we may act in the national self-interest.
18:56How might I help?
18:57By dissolving parliament.
19:01What?
19:02We are on the brink of war.
19:06What kind of signal does that give to our enemies?
19:10To sit down.
19:12If we were to change leadership now, it would make us look hopelessly weak and divided.
19:18I agree it's not ideal.
19:20Have you consulted cabinet on this matter?
19:22I have not, ma'am.
19:24Surely that would be the normal course of action.
19:27With all due respect, the decision to dissolve parliament is in the gift of the Prime Minister alone.
19:35It is entirely within my power to do this if I see fit.
19:40You are correct.
19:42Technically it is within your power to request this.
19:46But we must all ask ourselves when to exercise those things that are within our power and when not to.
19:52Your first instinct as a person, I think, is often to act.
19:57To exercise power.
19:59Well, it is what people want in a leader.
20:01To show conviction.
20:03And strength.
20:05To lead.
20:08I am merely asking the question.
20:10Whether it is correct to exercise a power simply because it is yours to use.
20:17Power is nothing without authority.
20:21And at this moment, your cabinet is against you.
20:25Your party is against you.
20:27And if the polls are to be believed, if you were to call a general election today, you would not
20:32win.
20:33Which suggests the country is against you.
20:38Perhaps the time has come for you to try doing nothing for once.
20:42The difference is, you have power in doing nothing.
20:52I will have nothing.
20:58You will have your dignity.
21:00There is no dignity in the wilderness.
21:03Then might I suggest you don't think of it as that.
21:06Think of it as an opportunity to pursue other passions.
21:10I have other loves.
21:14My husband.
21:16My children.
21:18But this job is my only true passion.
21:25And to have it taken from me.
21:29Stolen from me so cruelly.
21:33What hurts the most is that we had come so far.
21:41And now to have the opportunity to finish the job snatched away at the very last.
22:09I'm in hell.
22:11And he just hates me.
22:13And wants me to fail.
22:16He tells everyone I'm mad.
22:20They treat me like I'm mad.
22:23And I'm starting to feel mad.
22:26Why did I agree to this trip?
22:29I'm going to fall flat on my face.
22:51Let's pee.
22:58Don't, can I see it?
23:03Blast it!
23:04You're not Lord Ahhh!
23:05You're waiting A defeat, get the plans to come.
23:07You have to fail.
23:07What is that is possible, won's the distance away?
23:07Let's stamp it up against me, please magnesium.
23:10Let's mark mine!
23:11Come here, come here!
23:13Come here!
23:42Come here!
24:13Come here!
24:41Come here!
24:41Let's go!
24:42Let's go!
24:44Let's try!
24:45Let's try!
25:14Oh, my God.
26:01Oh, my God.
26:11This is Linda Correa.
26:12She told us to know something.
26:16A modest hospital on the wrong side of Harlem.
26:19Very few American politicians have ever even thought to visit.
26:22But today, this is the final stop on Princess Diana's whirlwind tour of New York.
26:40We established the pediatric AIDS unit two years ago to deal with the rising problem of infants suffering with the
26:48disease.
26:57Hello.
26:59Hello?
27:02Many of the children have been abandoned or have parents who are addicts or sick with the virus.
27:08They desperately need foster parents, but people are too afraid to take them.
27:12Why?
27:14Because of the stigma, the fear of the disease.
27:35We want the princess to a hug in New York, Harlem neighborhood today.
27:39A triumphant end to a trick which has seen the princess flying solo for the first time, hitting new heights
27:44without her husband, Prince Charles.
27:47We love her.
27:48She's beautiful.
27:50She's warm.
27:50She's perfect.
27:51They don't want her there.
27:52We would love to have her here.
27:54The way she hugged that boy in the hospital nearly broke my heart.
27:58Prince Charles is a lucky man.
28:00You know what I'm saying?
28:00Princess Di, thank you for bringing love and vitality to the Lower East Side.
28:05She knows how to make people feel good, and that is a God-given talent.
28:10You know what I'm saying?
28:23Yeah.
28:26If you care about me as much as you say you do, sir, you will let go of these ideas
28:30of breaking it off for Diana.
28:32Why?
28:35Don't you want us to be free to live our life in the open?
28:40I do.
28:45But I want to be humiliated and attacked even less.
28:49That's what will happen if you put me in a popularity contest against her.
28:53I will lose.
28:55I'm an old woman.
28:56I'm a married woman.
28:58No one near as pretty.
28:59No one near as radiant.
29:02Someone who looks like me has no place in a fairy tale.
29:06That's all people want.
29:07There's a fairy tale.
29:08If they knew the truth about our feelings for one another, they'd have their fairy tale.
29:12No.
29:13To be the protagonist of a fairy tale, you must first be wronged.
29:18A victim.
29:20If we were to become public, we would make her.
29:24In the narrative laws of fairy tales versus reality, the fairy tale always prevails.
29:32She will always defeat me in the court of public opinion.
29:36What is all this, my darling?
29:39What's gotten into you today?
29:44It's reality, sir.
29:48She's the princess of Wales.
29:51It's a future queen.
29:52The mother to a future king.
29:56And I'm just...
29:57My one true love.
30:03A mistress.
30:06Mistress to the Prince of Wales.
30:08Just like my great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was the mistress to the Prince of Wales.
30:13Your great-great-grandfather.
30:14And he loved her till the end.
30:26Leave this with me.
30:34Number 10 is a house and a home, as well as an office.
30:37And as Margaret Thatcher left it after so long, there was applause to be heard.
30:41And I've told a tear or two shed among the unseen staff.
30:44Mrs. Thatcher's own voice had an emotional edge to it.
30:46Ladies and gentlemen, we are leaving Downing Street for the last time, after 11 and a half wonderful years.
30:58It was the end of an era, dominated by this woman whose name had become a political byword.
31:0411 years of Thatcherism.
31:06She recovered quickly for one last wave.
31:10But then the Iron Lady's composure almost broke.
31:14Watch her face as she reaches her car.
31:24Friends say that she is deeply shocked by the seeming injustice of it all.
31:28Three election victories and a clear, though insufficient, majority in the first ballot,
31:32rewarded, as she sees it, with the sack.
31:35Mrs. Thatcher, of course, has a new role now in Germany.
31:38Martin, could you ask the Prime...
31:40Could you ask Mrs. Thatcher to come and see me?
31:42I'll go begin.
32:04When I ascended the throne, I was just a girl, 25 years old.
32:11And I was surrounded by stuffy, rather patronising, grey-haired men everywhere, telling me what to do.
32:19And I wanted to say...
32:22The way you dealt with all your stuffy, rather patronising, grey-haired men throughout your time in office,
32:29and saw them all off...
32:30Well, they've had their revenge now.
32:35I was shocked by the way in which you were forced to leave office.
32:40And I wanted to offer my sympathy.
32:43Not just as Queen to Prime Minister,
32:47but woman to woman.
32:50Throughout the time we worked together, people tended to focus on our many differences.
32:57Which was lazy and misleading, I think.
33:01And overlooked the many things we actually do have in common.
33:05Our generation.
33:07Our Christianity.
33:09Our work ethic.
33:11Our sense of duty.
33:14But above all,
33:16our devotion to this country that we both love.
33:21So, with that in mind...
33:36The Order of Merit
33:39is not awarded by some faceless committee.
33:43It comes at the personal discretion of the sovereign.
33:45And is in recognition of exceptionally meritorious service.
33:52It is limited to just 24 recipients.
33:55No matter their background.
33:57You could be the daughter of a Duke.
34:00Or a greengrocer.
34:05What matters
34:06is your accomplishments.
34:09And nobody can deny
34:11that this is a very different country now
34:14to the one inherited
34:16by our first woman, Prime Minister.
34:23Now, it's normally handed over in the box.
34:28But if you would allow me.
34:45Congratulations.
34:47Congratulations.
35:19I don't know.
36:10I don't know.
36:15Why would you say that?
36:16Well, I think even my sternest critics would concede that my first solo trip has not been a disaster, that
36:21I didn't fall totally flat on my face.
36:23So I can only imagine, hope, that you've come here to apologize, to eat your words, and congratulate me.
36:34Your capacity for self-delusion never ceases to amaze me.
36:41We're all glad you're back where you belong without too much damage having been done.
36:45You have two sons that need you.
36:47Our sons have easily survived me being away four days.
36:50I'm not sure one can say the same for the rest of us.
36:55The exquisite selfishness of your motives, and the calculated vulgarity of the antics, knowing full well the headlines they would
37:09get.
37:09Antics.
37:11Grandstanding, like that.
37:14You think we couldn't do that to theatrically hug the wretched and the dispossessed and cover ourselves in glory all
37:20over the front pages?
37:21I doubt it.
37:22You barely find it in yourselves to hug your own.
37:25I hug who I want to.
37:27I hug who I love.
37:29Particularly when they are affected by the selfishness of others and need cheering up.
37:33Who are you referring to?
37:35Camilla.
37:36Why would I care about her?
37:38Because I care about her!
37:42Morning, noon, and night I care about her!
37:46And you've hurt her.
37:52And if you hurt her, you hurt me.
38:02Camilla is who I want.
38:04That is where my loyalties lie.
38:06That is who my priority is.
38:08Not the mother of your children.
38:10Don't bring the boys into this.
38:11All right.
38:12Not the woman you married!
38:13I refuse to be blamed any longer for this grotesque misalliance!
38:18I wash my hands of it!
38:33If you have a complaint about not being loved or appreciated in this marriage,
38:47I suggest you take it up with the people who arranged it.
38:50I don't know.
39:23I don't know.
39:59I don't know.
40:31I don't know.
40:44I don't know.
40:48I don't know.
40:52I don't know.
40:54I don't know.
40:55I don't know.
41:14I don't know.
41:25I don't know.
41:36I don't know.
41:50I don't know.
41:51I don't know.
41:53I don't know.
42:06I don't know.
42:23I don't know.
42:54I don't know.
42:55I don't know.
43:07I don't know.
43:21I don't know.
43:50I don't know.
43:53I don't know.
43:59I don't know.
44:30I don't know.
44:31I don't know.
44:32I don't know.
44:34I don't know.
44:36I don't know.
44:39I don't know.
45:15I don't know.
45:23I don't know.
45:31I don't know.
45:34I've ever seen inside this room.
45:39You can be a rough bunch in this family.
45:44I'm sure on occasion to a sensitive creature like you it must feel like.
45:51Well, let me ask, what does it feel like?
45:56A cold, frozen tundra.
46:00Right.
46:03Like that, then?
46:05An icy, dark, loveless cave.
46:12With no light.
46:14No hope.
46:16Anywhere.
46:18Not even the faintest crack.
46:21I see.
46:25He will come around.
46:28He will.
46:30Eventually.
46:32When he realises that you can never have the other one.
46:43Would it help you to realise we all think he's quite mad?
46:48That might have reassured me once.
46:50But I worry we're past that point now.
46:53Sir.
46:56And if he, if this family, can't give me the love and security that I feel I deserve,
47:03then I believe I have no option but to break away, officially, and find it myself.
47:09I wouldn't do that if I would.
47:10Why not?
47:11Let's just say I can't see it ending well for you.
47:16I hope that isn't a threat, sir.
47:19Not now.
47:20Out!
47:33Although we are both outsiders who married in, you and I are quite different.
47:41Yes.
47:43I can see that now.
47:49You're right to call me an outsider.
47:53I was an outsider the day that I met the, the 13-year-old princess who would one day become
48:00my wife.
48:03And after all these years, I still am.
48:10We all are.
48:13Everyone in this system is a lost, lonely, irrelevant outsider.
48:23Apart from the one person, the only person that matters.
48:33She's the oxygen we all breathe, the essence of all our duty.
48:41Your problem, if I may say, is you seem to be confused about who that person is.
48:54Come.
48:57Um, just to say, your royal highnesses, the photographer, is ready.
49:07Have a good night.
49:12Let's do it.
49:21Woo!
49:25Woo!
49:27Woo!
49:27Woo!
49:28Woo!
49:28Woo!
49:29Woo!
49:31Woo!
50:33The merriest of Christmas smiles?
50:36Yes.
50:37Three, two, one.
50:40Did anyone blink?
50:41Jesus.
50:47Christ, dear
50:50Wetter, is
50:53done.
