00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.
00:54Princess Diana in a strapless lilac chiffon gown printed with gold pattern receiving the attention.
01:00But it's the Prince's night, His Royal Highness celebrating his 37th birthday at this special gala event.
01:15The Prince ofisations.

03:54She'll see I'm not so tough
03:58Just before you know me
04:01I'm with a love chair
04:03You know I've seen her in October
04:07She's getting tired of her eyes
04:10Last time I was coming out of bed
04:51Happy birthday!
05:17What were you thinking?
05:20I was only trying to make you happy
05:22That grotesque, mortifying display
05:24Had nothing to do with me or my happiness
05:28Eight minutes they were on their feet
05:31Cheering you
05:32Tomorrow the newspapers will be about nothing other than you
05:35And people will see that it was about my feelings for you
05:38If you had any feelings for me
05:39If you had any understanding of me
05:43If you had anything between your ears
05:44Other than self-obsession
05:46You'd know public displays like that horrify me
05:48Everything I do seems to horrify you
05:50Increasingly yes
05:51I never thought you'd manage this
05:53But you're really succeeding now
05:54And what's that?
05:55I'm starting to properly loathe you
05:57What's taking you so long
05:58The rest of us have been there for some time
06:19What are you doing?
06:20I'm going back to Gloucestershire
06:23Of course
06:24It's where she'll be waiting for you
06:28I'm sure she'll know exactly how to make you happy
06:42Charles and Diana seem to be getting on again
06:45Hallelujah
06:47Apparently she surprised him with a dance last night at the opera house
06:50Really?
06:51Full of high kicks and spins
06:53Why did you never do that for me?
06:56Dance on your birthday?
06:58Yes
06:59Like Salome
07:01Because if memory serves
07:03You had your own ballerinas for that
07:06Honestly
07:09Rubbish you talk sometimes
07:13It says here they're off to Switzerland
07:15Skiing with friends
07:17Perhaps their marriage has turned a corner
07:19Now much more importantly
07:21Who is Billy Joel?
07:24Billy Joel
07:25Oh Joel?
07:27Yes
07:28Uptown girl
07:31What are you talking about?
07:37Woohoo
07:41What are you talking about?
07:45Who is a real place for some of the birth?
07:46People are leaving
07:46All the animals
07:54They Tom
07:54bigger
07:58Say
07:58They come
07:59Or
08:02They say
10:10Why were they even skiing if the conditions were dangerous?
10:13The conditions this morning were apparently ideal.
10:16And a male body has been found?
10:20Those are the first unconfirmed reports.
10:23Yes.
10:24Obviously, every effort possible is being made to identify the body, but should the unthinkable
10:31turn out to be true, and the Prince of Wales is, in fact, um, um, we have contingency plans
10:41in place for all members of the royal family.
10:43Menai Bridge is no exception.
10:47It's the code name for the death of the Prince of Wales.
10:50Oh, thank you, Martin.
11:02Why Bridges?
11:05We're all Bridges.
11:08I'm London Bridge, Mummy's Tay Bridge, your fourth bridge.
11:13The choice of name was to suggest a link between this life and...
11:19and the next.
11:20Next.
12:13We've had it confirmed the Prince of Wales is safe, ma'am.
12:18Although one of the guests, Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson, is still in intensive care, and the one fatality was Hugh Lindsay.
12:27Oh, no.
12:28His wife, our widow, works in the press office.
12:34Sarah.
12:36If you wanted to send a letter.
12:38Of course.
12:39Yes.
12:45Martin?
12:47Yes, ma'am.
12:48Just to say, along with the coverage of His Royal Highness' near escape, we should also brace ourselves for more
12:56speculation about the Wales' marriage.
13:00It seems the Prince and Princess had not been on the best of terms prior to the accident, and we'd
13:05received reports of arguments and raised voices.
13:09Certain newspapers were about to run stories, and although we might expect a reprieve of a few days, given the
13:15circumstances, we can't expect it to last for long.
13:23No.
13:27No.
13:41The Prince and Princess of Wales are travelling back to Britain this afternoon, following a devastating accident that has cut
13:48short their skiing holiday in Switzerland.
13:50On board their flight will be the body of Major Hugh Lindsay, a close friend of the couple who died
13:56in the avalanche yesterday.
13:58The Prince of Wales was himself only inches away from death.
14:01I.
14:36Oh, my God.
15:09You said you were on your way.
15:10Hello, darling.
15:15Oh, thank you.
15:17What have I done now?
15:19You, nothing.
15:20But as his sister and confidant,
15:22I thought you might throw some light on a subject
15:25about which I've been ostriching, rather.
15:27The true state of Charles' marriage.
15:29You don't want to know.
15:31Actually, I do.
15:35Tea?
15:36Yes, please.
15:58The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:02Please.
16:06All right.
16:10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl
16:12who fell madly in love with a handsome prince.
16:14Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else
16:17who was herself in love with someone else,
16:19and they all lived unhappily ever after.
16:22That's it.
16:23In a nutshell, do you need more?
16:25A little.
16:26There's already a big age difference,
16:28but Charles is older than his years,
16:30and Diana is younger than hers,
16:31which makes it not an age gap, but an age chasm.
16:34On the face of it,
16:35they come from similar aristocratic backgrounds,
16:37but their personalities come from different planets.
16:40They have different interests, different friends.
16:43He doesn't understand her.
16:44She doesn't understand him.
16:46And considering all that,
16:47they've actually done remarkably well.
16:53But there comes a point in any failing marriage,
16:55and here I speak with some experience.
16:58When you realize there's no point in trying anymore,
17:00it's easier to just let the current take you away.
17:05And the minute Harry was born and duty was done,
17:07the marriage was effectively over,
17:09and they started to find comfort in the arms of others.
17:12How many others?
17:15Diana's been with her bodyguard,
17:17her riding instructor.
17:20And Charles?
17:22He's just been with one.
17:24He's also been a bit more discreet.
17:26The only people who know about Camilla are...
17:28Well, pretty much the old of Gloucestershire,
17:30who all seem to be involved in facilitating it.
17:33You can't conduct an extramarital affair
17:35without somewhere to meet, or sleep, or...
17:38Do you think?
17:39But Diana...
17:40Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace
17:42it's like a revolving door.
17:47Suitors.
17:47Park outside her office
17:48because it's the only place with no security cameras.
17:51One after another.
17:53In and out.
17:56In and out.
17:59Unfortunately, the Wales marriage is a rare example
18:02of something that is actually worse
18:03than the newspaper's report.
18:31Sir,
18:33the Queen,
18:34the Queen,
18:34I was asked to see you in the princess place at the highest opportunity.
19:34I was asked to see you in the palace.
19:46I don't know.
20:22I don't know.
20:34I don't know.
20:35Madness.
20:36I only want to be with you.
20:38But you are with me.
20:39I mean fully.
20:41Completely.
20:43As my wife.
20:45Oh, darling.
20:47The rest of it is just a terrible lie that's making everyone involved in it, everyone, utterly rich.
23:06Thank you, Nigel.
23:39Thank you, Beth, for coming.
28:24Hewitt's gone. I gave him the heave-ho. Everyone else too. No more little flirtations. No more
28:38plan B's. All doors firmly shut. Any more telephone calls from Major Hewitt, make sure
28:49to say I'm out. I don't want to hear from him. He can't just show up. He's not welcome
28:57here anymore. No. For the first time, things do feel different. I feel different. Because
29:04I've realized how much I want to make this marriage work. And to that end, with our seventh
29:10anniversary coming up. Well, I've had some ideas. On the 21st, we have lunch at the Community
29:22Enterprise Trust in Hartlepool, followed by a turf-cutting ceremony at Hilton Colliery
29:29Redevelopment Site in Sunderland. What about the 22nd? A presentation of new colors to the
29:361st Battalion, Gordon Highlanders, at Fort George in Vanessa. I'm trying to find time
29:40for a weekend in Scotland with Mrs. Parker Bowles. What about the 29th? That might be tricky.
29:46Why? I'm free the day before, not due back in Cornwall until the 2nd, which is a Tuesday.
29:51The 29th is your wedding anniversary, sir.
29:59Of course. As a matter of fact, the Princess of Wales made a point of requesting you be
30:06in Highgrove that weekend. She said she had something specific in mind.
30:24The 29th is your wedding anniversary.
30:27Number one shouldA and the 3rd semester.
30:34Let's go, let's go, let's go!
31:04The sea, the sea, the sea
31:07Take a while of the night
31:09And fight between the night
31:11Great little ink on love
31:37Come on
31:38Come on
31:38Come on
31:39Come on
32:01Open it
32:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
32:55Gosh.
32:57Oh, we haven't done our presents.
33:02Rayson?
33:05Yes.
33:37Oh, Charles, that's lovely.
33:48Now me.
33:53It's a bit smaller.
34:08I know how horrified you were the last time I performed for you, about how public it was.
34:14I wasn't horrified.
34:16Yes, you were.
34:18It was a bit of shock.
34:22She can be surprised.
34:24I know, but I love to perform.
34:26It's how I can best express myself and how I can show what I really feel.
34:34So this time, it's just between us.
34:37No public.
34:38No-one watching.
35:03What is this?
35:04Wait.
35:04Watch.
35:15No.
35:16No.
35:19No.
35:22No.
35:27Oh.
35:31Let me be your freedom, let the day not dry your tears.
35:39I'm here with you beside you, to guard you and to guide you.
35:47Stay with me every waking moment, turn my head with thoughts of summer dawn.
36:04Stay with me every waking moment, turn my head with thoughts of summer dawn.
36:12It was monstrous, awful.
36:14I thought the agony she inflicted on me at the Opera House couldn't be topped.
36:18What was it?
36:19A video of Diana singing some dreadful song in some musical.
36:24The Phantom of the Opera.
36:26What?
36:27On the actual stage in the West End, in costume, with all the real actors.
36:32Singing?
36:32If you could call it that, I didn't know where to look.
36:36The chap playing the Phantom at least had a mask to hide behind.
36:39Honestly, there's nothing more exhausting than putting on a kind face.
36:42I never realised how much scaffolding a smile required.
36:47When is this nightmare ever going to end?
36:49Charles.
36:50What?
36:51I'm going to be frank with you.
36:54No one wants your marriage to end to not a single person.
36:57Not Diana, not your children, not your mother or father, not me, not a single one of your friends.
37:03And most importantly, not even the woman you think loves you.
37:06You've got rubbish.
37:07No, listen.
37:07Listen to me.
37:09No one can bear to watch the mess you are making of this and someone needs to explain things to
37:13you.
37:14I'm close to Camilla's husband, as you know.
37:17Yes, I'm aware.
37:18And speak to Andrew regularly.
37:19And while theirs is not a perfect marriage...
37:21That's understatement.
37:22It is a long-lasting marriage.
37:24And in its own way, a happy marriage.
37:26Oh, she is not happy.
37:28She's happier than you think.
37:29Well, he's bedding most of her friends.
37:31It's complicated.
37:32The majority of marriages survive because the majority of people aren't fantasists.
37:37They are realists.
37:39And accept the imperfect reality of being human.
37:43And although Camilla doubtless has feelings for you, deep feelings...
37:47It is maybe not quite the great Romeo-Juliet thing that you imagine.
37:52What?
37:52You're lying.
37:53No, I'm not.
37:54I'm trying to protect you.
37:56I come here seeking comfort from my sibling.
37:58And what do I get?
37:59The unvarnished truth.
38:00What does one have to do to get some kindness in this family?
38:31I come here to pray in my
38:49I can't stay long. The children are home.
38:54I need to know.
38:58Do you still have feelings for Andrew?
39:02What?
39:03I don't mean normal feelings. He's your husband and the father of your children.
39:08I mean, special feelings.
39:16Anne told me that...
39:19Andrew, not I, was the big love of your life and that...
39:21your feelings for me were perhaps not as deep as I'd imagined.
39:24That's not true.
39:28Andrew has never adored me like you do.
39:31Or shown me the same devotion.
39:34He also doesn't need me like you do.
39:36I do need you.
39:39And that's why it's so important.
39:42We both feel the same.
39:45And want the same.
39:50And that if the opportunity were to present itself and I were able to escape this...
39:59calamity of marriage, that you be prepared to do the same thing and leave Andrew.
40:06Can you make me that promise?
40:15What we both want and what we can actually do are not the same thing.
40:21It's important we remain realistic, sir.
40:27But you have my word.
40:30My love for you is real.
40:47I should go.
41:12And the environment are being damaged.
41:14Mrs. Thatcher has been welcomed in Canberra by the Australian Prime Minister.
41:39And one, and two, and three, and four, and turn towards the bar and arms like this.
41:49Come along, Diana.
41:51And again.
41:53And one, and two, and three, and...
42:05I'm afraid.
42:06Hi, Grove.
42:11Sir, the Princess of Wales on the phone?
42:14No.
42:16Very good.
42:22I'm afraid the Princess of Wales isn't available, but I will inform him if you call.
42:31I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to,
42:37so I can't see you.
42:43He's got a match.
42:53I don't want to.
42:56I don't want to.
43:02He's got a match.
43:03Just love it.
43:04You want my поддерж atra�?
43:06I want to tell you right out.
43:09You want my family.
