00:00:28Satsang with Mooji
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.
00:02:23There.
00:02:29There.
00:02:31The.
00:02:35Let's go.
00:03:06Let'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.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:04Let's go.
00:04:11Let's go.
00:04:23Let's go.
00:04:26Let's go.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:32Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:30These papers must never see the light of day, Winston, ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:13The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first
00:08:18meeting 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
00:08:29platform.
00:08:29The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all gone astray.
00:08:37With everyone turned to his own way.
00:08:42It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young.
00:08:49He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely.
00:08:52A child.
00:08:52A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life
00:08:58experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door to door in North Carolina.
00:09:03What?
00:09:04There's a humility to that which I like.
00:09:07But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What'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.
00:09:16Now 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
00:09:24and shops and 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.
00:09:35Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:43He's shouting, darling, an zealot shout.
00:09:46When you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own
00:09:52ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and 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.
00:10:27Ji-oter.
00:10:29Good work.
00:10:32Good job.
00:10:34Bravo.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:42Help! Help!
00:10:46Ah! No!
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me! It's me!
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:58Where's your cap?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique! Buffet!
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.
00:11:48What?
00:11:57I don't like it.
00:12:01I don't like it.
00:12:03It's something.
00:12:05I just wanna try it.
00:12:07What?
00:12:08I don't like it.
00:12:10I'm going to die.
00:12:12I don't like it.
00:12:12I don't like it.
00:12:15I don't like it.
00:12:15I don't like it.
00:12:16I love you.
00:12:17I love you.
00:13:47To 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.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice, who 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 for 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.
00:14:39Yes, 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.
00:14:51If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do 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 to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22We should have to be careful, though, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be
00:15:31perceived as an endorsement of his crusades.
00:15:38Which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has 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.
00:16:06Hmm.
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.
00:16:36Man.
00:16:53Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:16:59This one's a mystical suite.
00:17:01This one's for-
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:04Monsieur Marbert.
00:17:07Yes.
00:17:28take this it's practically an injunction
00:17:37sir are you aware of this
00:17:45i am as historians we have a duty to publish the truth no exceptions otherwise what are we all
00:17:53doing protecting nazis protecting something else my hands are tied but his are not
00:18:02that's right i have access to the u.s state department duplicate files
00:18:07including this there's nothing to stop the american government publishing if the british
00:18:13government won't
00:18:25my dearest darling peaches let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey
00:18:31it was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather the company on the boat was dreadful
00:18:38too common and uninteresting people pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards
00:18:47on arrival in london my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who 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
00:19:27but george excelled as ever and revealed the work he had already done
00:19:32of course the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody
00:19:35should 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
00:19:43and 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 i brought quill and ink
00:20:02all that notwithstanding i've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters and the only indications are most encouraging
00:20:11walter monckton 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
00:20:28oh dear cecil
00:20:31and his inedible food
00:20:33just a small hand
00:20:59do we really have to do this
00:21:01indulge me
00:21:02indulge me
00:21:03i'm interested
00:21:05can 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
00:21:24what box
00:21:25the one containing his brushes
00:21:27oh no look come on we'll be late
00:21:29airbrushes
00:21:30floorbrushes
00:21:31toothbrushes
00:21:32do shut up
00:21:34as i was thinking about what to preach about today
00:21:37i considered various topics which speak to me personally
00:21:41but i thought that i would start
00:21:43with a simple question
00:21:47what is a christian
00:21:49the bible tells us
00:21:51colossians 127 says
00:21:53that a christian
00:21:54is a person
00:21:55in whom christ
00:21:57dwells
00:21:58it's christ in you
00:22:00the hope of glory
00:22:02it means
00:22:03that you have a personal relationship
00:22:06with the lord jesus christ
00:22:08that encounter
00:22:09has taken place
00:22:10you have received christ
00:22:13as savior
00:22:14and that
00:22:16is what a christian
00:22:18is
00:22:26i enjoyed that very much
00:22:28you 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
00:22:45well you shouldn't be
00:22:47in an increasingly complex world
00:22:49we all need certainty
00:22:51and you provide it
00:22:52well that's not me
00:22:53scriptures
00:22:54provide
00:22:56yes but
00:22:57you illuminate them so well
00:23:01the great joy that i felt today
00:23:04was that of being
00:23:04a simple congregant
00:23:06being taught
00:23:07being led
00:23:09you see as head of the anglican church
00:23:11in terms of rank
00:23:12even 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
00:23:28as queen
00:23:30to be able to just disappear
00:23:31and be
00:23:34a simple christian
00:23:37yes
00:23:40above all things i
00:23:42do think of myself as
00:23:44just a simple christian
00:23:47it's the values of christian living that root me
00:23:51guide me
00:23:53define me
00:24:00have you always been such a good speaker
00:24:02i was actually a shy child
00:24:05no
00:24:07speaking as a shy child myself
00:24:09i have to say that i find that very hard to believe
00:24:12no ma'am
00:24:13it's true
00:24:15the first time
00:24:16i've spoken public
00:24:18i was 12 years old
00:24:19at school
00:24:20the school principal told my mother
00:24:23he thought i was a natural
00:24:25that of all things
00:24:27i had a gift
00:24:35hearing from me
00:24:35because i was not there
00:24:35i whoosh
00:24:56ask a question
00:24:57what are you
00:24:57or what of shavings
00:24:58then
00:24:58you
00:24:58and yeah
00:24:58you
00:24:58you what
00:24:58are you trying
00:24:58to do because
00:24:59they did what
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:29I have no objection to his being here.
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 with it.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me?
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
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.
00:26:37We 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 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.
00:28:13They'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.
00:28:22What a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods.
00:28:28And 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?
00:28:53Turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their inspiration.
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation and hypocrisy.
00:29:14What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:26I can truthfully say, all is well.
00:29:30Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:40Good morning, 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
00:30:06which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files map.
00:30:42The Article Thedriven θ
00:30:49A
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06shortly after the war ended
00:31:09some british troops
00:31:13American
00:31:17American troops
00:31:19arrested a german soldier
00:31:21as he was retreating from
00:31:26near Eisenhower
00:31:28in central Germany
00:31:30I don't remember the soldiers
00:31:30name
00:31:33but not for nurse
00:31:36turns out
00:31:38this soldier was Hitler's
00:31:40personal translator
00:31:44assistant to hit this personal
00:31:46translator man hidden personal
00:31:48translator was Dr. Schmidt Dr. Paul
00:31:50Schmidt all right you tell the story
00:31:52Michael please
00:31:56thank you ma'am
00:32:02when his offices were being
00:32:05evacuated
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt
00:32:11asked his assistant
00:32:13Von Lersch
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret
00:32:17papers which he had placed in
00:32:19archives
00:32:21and Von Lersch duly burned the vast majority
00:32:29but he secretly kept the most valuable material
00:32:34hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial
00:33:05among the papers which Von Lersch kept back there was one file that was a
00:33:09pertaining to anglo-german relations in particular relationship of Nazi high command
00:33:16with 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
00:33:44be published
00:33:48and this is the man you inexplicably led back into the country
00:33:57I hope you have a strong stomach
00:34:29in the country
00:34:29in the country
00:34:29in the country
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.
00:43:06Whatever.
00:43:24Everything is all right?
00:43:30can i ask your opinion of course what about forgiveness what have i done now
00:43:40no not you uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not what he did to this country those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you
00:44:22what and tell him of your proposed course of action i can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28why not well he's retired for one thing go and see him in an unofficial capacity for
00:44:35sherry or tea or human blood whatever that monster drinks and ask him about your uncle
00:44:43he was his private secretary while he was king he knows everything there is to know
00:44:47i get you there
00:44:49yes
00:44:49yes
00:45:26Your Majesty.
00:45:28Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:42Ah, yes, those uniforms.
00:45:45It's 19th century.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo.
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Paikinham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely.
00:46:06Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:24I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life.
00:46:30And as an example of a Christian in a Christian country.
00:46:35To forgive.
00:46:39Your Majesty, that would, in 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 of the facts.
00:46:57I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:05Yes, 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.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg.
00:47:21A renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive
00:47:32me, ma'am, with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
00:47:54It 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.
00:48:02Because 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?
00:48:29The Fuhrer had labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:32So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip, at the home of Herr Hess, that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England, effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father,
00:48:54in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe.
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion, if necessary.
00:49:07And there were visits to SS training schools and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13Now, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, 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 the invasion of France,
00:49:41the Duke wasted no time in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information,
00:49:50which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And in less than a month,
00:49:56Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all,
00:50:01the Duke told the German government that resolve in the United Kingdom in the face of the German aerial bombardment
00:50:09was weakening.
00:50:11And that continued bombing,
00:50:13that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects,
00:50:18would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word.
00:50:56S-I-N
00:50:59Sin
00:51:02From Psalm 58,
00:51:04The wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born.
00:51:09Speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:14God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now you may be out with legion teeth.
00:51:20We're fine.
00:51:21A coach.
00:51:22A church member.
00:51:23A good standing in the community.
00:51:25But it's your heart,
00:51:26the heart 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.
00:51:42And weighing it all up.
00:51:45The amount of time that has passed.
00:51:49And my affection for you, personally,
00:51:52all spoke in its favour.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But?
00:52:01On balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who has 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.
00:52:42That's why everyone is so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The 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 willfulness, or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes, our ears, to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it as fabrications, as 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.
00:53:36No, the question is...
00:53:38How on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:53:43You're the only one.
00:53:49What-
00:54:10It does not want you to face a special one.
00:54:10I just want you to face it.
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:30Your majesty?
00:55:34You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:39But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Meditation.
00:57:32Yes.
00:57:39No.
00:57:46Yes.
00:58:50Saying one for me?
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Push it well, then.
00:58:57We all know you have the ear of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am.
00:59:04I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:05Not me in this front, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your day...
00:59:14Your day...
00:59:15Your day-mar was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38You.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50Or the contrary, it was entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57Oh, it is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:19No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:49No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:04No!
01:01:06No!
01:01:07No!
