Transcript
00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:18That's really good.
04:23Would you please be there?
04:27You do?
04:29You do?
04:31You do?
04:36You do?
04:46I have a call come out.
04:48times today sir regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy and it's
04:52interesting when talking about the Queen again and again the same words came up
04:57irrelevant old expensive out of touch quite distinct from the way people
05:03talked about you sir really should I cover my ears no on the contrary they
05:09described you as young energetic modern empathetic and when asked almost half
05:17believe you would make an excellent King and would support an early application
05:20by the Queen in your favor the story is running when Sunday week sir I'll be in
05:30Italy with the family well actually we think the timing the holiday is ideal as
05:35you know a big part of your appeal as future King is the prospect of the
05:40princess of Wales as Queen yes so we've taken the liberty of briefing one or two
05:44friendly newspapers that it's a second honeymoon right
06:08that's what they said those are the words they used second honeymoon

09:15I just wanted to say how happy I am that we're doing this.
09:45Liana! Liana!
10:07What do you think, Michelle?
10:10Giving some of the old magic?
10:11Well, come on then, let's blow them away.
10:15Liana! Liana!
10:16Liana!
10:17Liana!
10:22Principatter!
10:23Liana!
10:27Liana!
10:49So, the route I propose that we take
10:53is from Naples to Ischia,
10:56where Garibaldi spent some time recuperating
10:59after being injured in the Italian Walls of Independence.
11:02Am I right?
11:03Yes, sir.
11:04Then on to Capri
11:05to see the ruins of the magnificent Villa Jovis.
11:08Then down the Amalfi Coast,
11:10on to Sicily,
11:11with a final stop in Olbia on Sardinia
11:14for a private view of the Museo Archaeologico there.
11:19And were there any other requests?
11:21Some beaches, perhaps.
11:23There will, of course, be beaches along the way.
11:28And water sports.
11:29And noisy water sports.
11:31And shopping.
11:36Shopping?
11:37It's possible some people might like to go shopping one day.
11:40Who?
11:42Show of hands,
11:43would anyone apart from Diana like to go shopping?
11:47And the entire point of being on a beautiful yacht like this
11:51is that you can escape from hordes of people
11:53indulging in retail as recreation.
11:59Me!
12:00I want to go shopping.
12:02Me too.
12:10Then we'll go shopping.
12:21Thanks for sticking up for me.
12:24What's brave?
12:28A special treat you get to choose between a bedtime story or...
12:32Super Mario!
12:33Don't tell your father.
12:36Are you going back upstairs now?
12:39God, no.
12:40I'll have to read the classics.
12:43Good morning, night.
12:44Love you.
12:45I love you, mummy.
12:46I love you too, my darlings.
12:48I love you too, my darlings.
13:09Charles and Diana seem to be the happy couple again.
13:13What a blessing that would be.
13:16for everyone.
13:20Who's that?
13:22What was what?
13:23That noise.
13:28There was a mechanical noise.
13:33There it is again.
13:35Right, I'm off.
13:38One last day cutting ribbons in Morecambe,
13:40then feet up for the summer.
13:56As patron of the Church Urban Fund,
13:59I am aware of the vast challenges faced by this community
14:04and many others across the diocese.
14:07The Milk Marketing Board is among the most enduring
14:11and resilient of Britain's commercial enterprises.
14:15This state-of-the-art dairy complex
14:19is testament to the continuing vitality of British others.
14:26It has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers,
14:32representing a great 30% of the European freight market.
14:37It is clear that intermodal containers
14:39our Lancashire's ticket to a bright future.
15:06How long has the pressure been down on that ground?
15:08Since this morning, sir.
15:22It shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart.
15:25She's a creature of another age.
15:28Effectively, a World War II cruiser with soft furnishings.
15:32In many ways, she's obsolete.
15:34Don't say that.
15:36What are the options?
15:38Well, trouble with the main engine.
15:40Stubborn boilers out of service.
15:44Sentimentally, I think we'd all prefer to stick with her.
15:47I should say.
15:48But we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best.
15:55Are you seeing the Prime Minister in Balmoral next week?
15:58Yes.
15:58He's coming with his wife, Dora.
16:01No, that's not right.
16:03Nora.
16:05Norma.
16:05Well, you might want to bring it up with him then.
16:08I'll talk to the Admiral and come up with some figures.
16:11But it's the first time I've started to consider the unthinkable.
16:15What's that?
16:16A replacement.
16:20Built in AD 27 by...
16:25Tiberius.
16:26Exactly.
16:27Wow.
16:27The most magnificent of World Imperial Residences here in Tiberius.
16:34Some people say that Tiberius escaped to Catherine
16:37because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court in Rome.
16:41Not something I could ever understand.
16:44But after a long, successful career...
16:59Bye, Charles.
17:01We'll miss you while we're having all the fun.
17:07It's an extraordinary how two people's understanding of fun could be so wholly different.
17:21When they suggested to us, Diana and I, that we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon,
17:31I said to them, you obviously weren't at the first one.
17:34On Britannia, wasn't it?
17:36Yes.
17:37I know the Queen thinks the Royal Yacht is perfect in every way,
17:40but as an intimate space for newlyweds,
17:43it's like a floating observation tank.
17:49Every awkward silence,
17:52stilted conversation between bride and glue,
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200 crew.
18:06Did you just say bride and glue?
18:10Did I?
18:16So the irony is, I'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy.
18:21It seems to lift the rest of the world up.
18:26When we're together in public,
18:29I can't deny it is magical,
18:31the perfect team.
18:33Yes, in private.
18:39Listen to me.
18:41After everything you've been through with your girl.
18:43Oh.
18:47She let me comb her hair last week.
18:51First time since it's grown back.
18:53Do you know it's come back curly?
18:56I found myself slightly ashamed to think I actually preferred it that way.
19:03It's a dreadful, wicked disease.
19:08You've all been so wonderfully strong.
19:13Is it important?
19:15The Sunday time, sir?
19:18Oh.
19:19Yes.
19:19I'll leave you to it.
19:25It's running tomorrow.
19:27I've managed to gain advance sight of it,
19:29and I think you'll agree it's pretty punchy.
19:47Good morning, your majesty.
19:49Good morning, Peggy.
19:52Oh, a bit wet for the arrival of the Princess Royal.
19:56Oh, she won't mind this.
20:03Good morning, our mother.
20:05My highness.
20:08Welcome aboard, your royal highness.
20:25Fellas.
20:25Robert, you've got a bit of a problem.
20:31Have the newspapers been delivered.
20:33Just arrived, sir.
20:35Has the queen gone to breakfast?
20:36On her way, sir.
20:38Make sure the Sunday Times is removed.
20:40Better still, thrown away.
20:41Under no circumstances can the queen or the Princess Royal be allowed to see it.
20:45Understood.
20:46Sir.
21:02Good morning, your majesty.
21:04You're at this effect.
21:07Move!
21:12Hello, darling.
21:13Mummy.
21:20Sorry, ma'am.
21:21You can't breathe that.
21:23Why not?
21:24It's not today's.
21:26It's yesterday's.
21:26But yesterday was Saturday.
21:28And that, I think we can all agree, is the Sunday Times.
21:32I mean last week's.
21:33What?
21:33But this is today's Sunday Telegraph.
21:35Today's Mail on Sunday.
21:37And the latest Racing Post.
21:38Oh, yes, please.
22:05Yes?
22:08I'm sorry to disturb, sir.
22:12But I thought you should be aware of this.
22:22It's outrageous.
22:24She never stops.
22:25She never complains.
22:26She never puts a foot wrong.
22:28She's utterly magnificent.
22:29And they print rubbish like this.
22:32Looks like more rain on the way.
22:34I shouldn't be surprised.
22:36It is the west coast of Scotland.
22:38I don't suppose you've seen the Sunday Times.
22:41Oh, morning, Robert.
22:42Good morning, Your Majesty.
22:44Because I checked.
22:45Apparently it has been delivered.
22:48I'll look into it, ma'am.
22:50When you find it, I'll be on deck.
23:06Well, to say the article has had an impact would be an understatement.
23:10It's provoked significant debate on radio and television, with one particular phrase getting
23:15most attention.
23:16Queen Victoria's syndrome.
23:19Yes, I saw that.
23:23An aging monarch, too long on the throne, whose remoteness from the modern world has led people
23:29to grow tired not just of her, but of the monarchy itself.
23:36Any reaction from the Queen?
23:38My understanding is she hasn't seen it.
23:40That they've kept it from her to protect her feelings.
23:45Doesn't that tell you everything?
23:51I'd like you to arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister as soon as we're back.
23:57You'll think of a suitable pretext.
24:06Look, it's a whale.
24:08Where?
24:11Oh, good spot.
24:14Come back.
24:15No.
24:16Look at the way it's surfacing.
24:18It's a minky.
24:19Probably smell it before we see it again, if we get any closer.
24:22Their blow smells of rotten cabbages.
24:25A stinky minky.
24:33Oh, there she is.
24:36Flada.
24:38There.
24:42Oh, yes.
24:44Like a bulrush out of a pond.
24:48Isn't she a beauty?
24:49You say so, dear.
24:53It's one of the last manned lighthouses in Scotland.
24:58Why don't we pay her a visit?
24:59Really?
25:00Must we?
25:01Come on.
25:02A bit of exercise is good for the figure.
25:03At our age, the weight does not stay off by itself.
25:06Come on.
25:07No.
25:08You say so, dear.
25:09You say so, dear.
25:13You say so, dear.
25:25You say so, dear.
25:25You say so, dear.
25:25You say so, dear.
25:25You say so, dear.
25:25You say so, dear.
25:26You say so, dear.
25:27You say so, dear.
25:28You say so, dear.
25:29You say so, dear.
25:37You say so, dear.
25:38People wonder why I find lighthouses so inspiring when you get to a place like this
25:55New query Tim. No, he's been with us for a while
26:03What come I never noticed
26:06Because you're married me technically
26:12What's he like reliable sensible agreeable hmm
26:20I think we ought to get back to lighthouses
26:25Those beacons of light an otherwise black and hopeless night
26:30Reassure the lonely mariner. They are not from what we'll soon find land and home
26:56It appears this has to be an unfortunate could tell me to the holiday
27:01Clash of diaries. I understand. What is Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at Oxford University
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a
27:16Diary conflict through no fault of mine, and I have to get back
27:20Supposed to be here for two weeks. We know
27:23The plans change I have a commitment at Oxford University isn't the university
27:30It's a summer school for tourists. It's not essential. It is to me
27:36This is our holiday
27:39It's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing, which is why I agreed you bringing your friends along
27:46to entertain you
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today requested by your people so the lie could be paraded
27:52to the world's media about what an adoring husband you are on one condition
27:55What's that? That you actually are one
28:31That you are one
28:38For the like
28:47God bless you.
29:35Tens of thousands of British families, repossessions are now at record levels.
29:40In the first half of this year, 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies.
29:53I think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the
29:57war, and it has struck right across the economy.
30:01It's certainly been a very difficult year.
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:11Prime Minister.
30:14Your Royal Highness.
30:15So kindly you should come.
30:16Sir.
30:19Uh, before we begin, I wonder, did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we
30:25were meeting?
30:25I don't believe so, sir.
30:27Probably for the best.
30:36There are two reasons I asked if I could see you today.
30:40The first, conserving our built heritage.
30:44I wonder, did you receive the copy of my book?
30:46I did.
30:48I don't suppose you found time to flick through it.
30:50Knowing we were meeting today, I made a point of it.
30:53Reading it, I'm sure you thought, what an old fogey.
30:58How stuck in the past he is with his loathing of modernism and change.
31:03Not at all.
31:05Why?
31:08You'd have been right to.
31:09I am fixated by the past.
31:12By tradition.
31:15Preserving it.
31:16Conserving it.
31:17But none of us is exclusively one thing.
31:19Human beings are too interesting for that.
31:21You yourself are full of fascinating contradictions.
31:25Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton, a multicultural, working-class part of London, one might have expected you
31:32either to have concealed your past in order to fit in with the Tories, or to have a more socialist
31:38viewpoint
31:38and become a rising star in the Labour Party.
31:40I have never felt that because of my background I should not be a conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:46You not only refuse to deny your contradictions, you don't see them as contradictions.
31:52I don't.
31:53Which makes you a far more interesting, more complex, more impressive person.
32:01And I hope that the same can be said of me.
32:09Which brings me to the second reason for our meeting.
32:13You saw the, uh, the recent poll and Sunday Times article about the Queen.
32:20I did.
32:22Queen Victoria Syndrome.
32:24Queen Victoria Syndrome.
32:27What were your...
32:30...conclusions?
32:31It's just a poll, sir.
32:34True.
32:36Not a reassuring one.
32:38Polls come and go.
32:40Dangerous to ignore them.
32:42Equally dangerous to be guided by them.
32:55There must have been many polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure.
33:03I'm sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever, but what makes the Conservative Party the successful
33:09electoral force that it is?
33:11It's instinct for renewal and its willingness to make way for someone younger.
33:19For almost 60 years, my great-great-grandfather, Edward VII, was kept waiting in the wings.
33:29It was said that Queen Victoria had no confidence in him, thought him dangerous, free-thinking.
33:37He longed to be given responsibilities, but his mother refused.
33:44Even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came, he proved his doubters wrong, and his dynamism, his intellect, his popular appeal made
33:57his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying what a pity it was.
34:06What a waste that his voice, his presence, his vision wasn't incorporated earlier.
34:16It would have been so good for everybody.
34:30You're coming to Balmoral?
34:32To the Gillies Ball?
34:34Yes. Very much looking forward to it.
34:39Well, then you'll have an opportunity to, uh...
34:44Judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about so deeply...
34:54...is in safe hands.
35:02And now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations.
35:47So...
35:49Come on, now, love.
35:50Come on.
35:51Come on.
35:51Come on.
35:52So displeased.
35:54Hello, darling.
35:56Well, there never displeased me here.
35:58Hello, darling.
35:59Hello, you. Hello, you.
36:03Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We haven't. I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
36:13We had a lovely morning. We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty? Doesn't she look pretty, Mum?
36:28All right.
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am?
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:46What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the judge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:32Yeah.
37:35Yeah.
37:36Eel to.
37:38Ah!
37:45Wait, look.
37:52Let's go. Hold on. Let's go.
38:22Goodness, Lord.
38:52Let's go.
38:54Let's go.
38:54Let's go.
38:57Let's go.
38:58Let's go.
39:00Let's go.
39:00Let's go.
39:02Let's go.
39:02Let's go.
39:02Let's go.
39:26Let's go.
39:54Let's go.
40:13Let's go.
40:16Let's go.
40:29Let's go.
40:34Let's go.
40:40Let's go.

43:47Now, the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask, are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine into an independent European country.
43:59They want to break away from Moscow to turn their back on the leadership of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West in a bid to earn hard currency, the other Soviet republics have...
44:54To be continued...
44:57To be continued...
45:06To be continued...
45:14To be continued...
45:23To be continued...
45:26Our Majesty the Queen!
45:29To be continued...
45:43Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:45The honour would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You know you of my name.
45:53Oh, yes.
45:54I mean great.
45:55I do.
46:18But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the royal yacht to a cost-benefit
46:25equation.
46:26It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience, but I would argue a minor one next to the yacht's
46:35enduring role as a national symbol and her importance to the queen personally.
46:42Boys, say goodnight to Mr. Major.
46:45Goodnight, sir.
46:46Goodnight.
46:46Goodnight, sir.
46:47Goodnight.
47:09Some local history for you if you're interested.
47:12Of course.
47:14Queen Victoria held the first gillies ball in 1852 and there's been one every year since.
47:20I see.
47:21It began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants and has since developed
47:30into something of a Saturnalia, if you know your classics.
47:37Well, the rules are turned upside down for a day.
47:40Masters serving slaves and all disciplinary measures suspended for the night.
47:57I was just telling the Prime Minister that these things can get quite giddy.
48:02Not that I ever witness any of it.
48:04I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed.
48:07Can I count on you for a full report in the morning?
48:09You can, Your Majesty.
48:11Goodnight.
48:11Shall we slip away?
48:14Our Majesty, the Queen!
48:25Our Majesty, the Queen!
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today.
48:40I know I shouldn't ask, but, uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:46Sir?
48:48The, uh, the refit to Britannia.
48:52That is what she asked you for.
48:54Sir?
48:56Sometimes these old things, uh, they're too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:11I can't, not yet.
49:12Will you dance with me before I scream?
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow, back to normality.
49:22No, I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you just had a lovely family holiday.
49:27You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of a family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:35And look.
49:37Anne and Mark.
49:39Look at Andrew and Sarah.
49:42Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:57And then...
50:01Piss!
50:04The presentation of the characters is what we've heard.
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with as Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs, the economy and freefall, going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be binding the nation together.
51:03Setting an example of idealised family life.
51:07Instead, the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals?
51:19Feckless, entitled, and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales, impatient for a bigger role in public life,
51:28fails to appreciate that his one great asset is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
51:51On my watch.
52:15On my watch.
