00:22:27where you'll make a speech to ex-servicemen at the Royal Yacht Club,
00:22:30then by ferry to visit a school near Mangrove Bay on Westbury Island,
00:22:33then you'll host a garden party here at the Baptist House
00:22:37for a thousand or so guests,
00:22:38where we're hoping to find a moment at the ceremonial planting of a tree.
00:22:42We'll find a moment during any of this to use the lavatory.
00:22:45I do hope tomorrow's better.
00:22:48I'm afraid not, sir.
00:22:49Up at 4.30 for a 6 a.m. flight to Jamaica.
00:22:55Oh, here we go again, waving like lunatic.
00:23:00With any luck, one day they'll all own television sets
00:23:03and they won't come out like this again.
00:23:06Man, sir, just before we take off,
00:23:08I thought I might go through the itinerary for our first day in Jamaica.
00:23:12Goody.
00:23:12Yes, sir. Do sit down, Michael.
00:23:15We arrive at noon to be greeted by the governor,
00:23:18representative of the West Indian Islands,
00:23:20and the guard of Mollah be formed by the Jamaican stand.
00:23:28This is the picture we shall never forget in Jamaica.
00:23:33The lovely lady and the tall, handsome figure of the sailor,
00:23:37her husband.
00:23:39So near to our children that they can almost be touched.
00:23:44So graceful and so near...
00:23:46Colonel Charter thought you might like to see the speech for tomorrow night, ma'am.
00:23:50I'll give you a chance to prepare.
00:24:01Oh, dear.
00:24:03Would you bring me a pencil, please?
00:24:06Ma'am?
00:24:07And ask Colonel Charter if you'd be so kind
00:24:09as to come see me in the morning.
00:24:35Good morning, sir.
00:24:36Good morning, sir.
00:24:38Good morning.
00:25:00Come in, Martin.
00:25:02You're wrong, heinous.
00:25:04The speech for the ambassador's reception tonight.
00:25:07Yes, ma'am.
00:25:09This was written for my sister.
00:25:10Very well written.
00:25:12Manifesting for her, in her register.
00:25:15Reflecting her character, if that's the right word.
00:25:18As we both know, I have a different character.
00:25:21Indeed.
00:25:22And since I shall be deputizing for my sister tonight,
00:25:25I was wondering if I might make one or two minor adjustments to the text.
00:25:30Ma'am?
00:25:31Give it a bit more color.
00:25:33Make it feel a bit more like me.
00:25:36Breathe a little life into it.
00:25:37I'm sure Her All-Harness appreciates him.
00:25:42There will be important people at the reception tonight
00:25:47of different backgrounds, different sensibilities.
00:25:51The speech has been carefully calibrated to avoid giving offense.
00:25:56And I'd suggest to avoid entertaining, too.
00:25:59It's not the sovereign's place to entertain.
00:26:03And I'm not the sovereign.
00:26:04I understand that.
00:26:06But you will be there in her place.
00:26:20What about the state diadem, Tiara?
00:26:22Or the Cambridge lovers, not.
00:26:24Those are her majesties for state occasions.
00:26:27Her majesty won't mind.
00:26:29Besides, are people not coming tonight expecting to meet a queen?
00:26:34Yes, shouldn't we be giving them one?
00:27:11Your Excellencies,
00:27:14I'm delighted to be here tonight,
00:27:17deputizing for my sister, the Queen,
00:27:19who was fortunate enough to be on her travels,
00:27:22somewhere between Bermuda, Jamaica and Fiji.
00:27:26Distracted, no doubt,
00:27:29by waving fields of sugarcane and graceful palms,
00:27:34by deep blue water beyond white coral sands,
00:27:38by dramatic green hills thick with vegetation
00:27:42and the subtle rhythms of dancing and singing.
00:27:47But more vivid,
00:27:49more brilliant, even,
00:27:51than the colours of those lovely islands
00:27:53or the echoes of that music
00:27:56or the welcome of cheerful and friendly people
00:27:59wherever my sister may travel
00:28:01is what I see as I look out from this stage tonight.
00:28:07As I look out at all of you tonight,
00:28:10my, don't you all look wonderful
00:28:15and shimmering
00:28:16when positively exotic.
00:28:20And what fine company we have here tonight?
00:28:24Our ambassador to the United States of America,
00:28:26Sir Roger Makins.
00:28:27The only honest thing to come out of Washington.
00:28:32Our dashing ambassador, Alec Kirkbride, in Libya.
00:28:37Just one single, ladies.
00:28:40Oh, and of course, Sir Charles Peake and his wife from Greece.
00:28:43A country which has brought us many things.
00:28:47Philosophy, democracy.
00:28:49My brother-in-law.
00:28:55So to all of you, I say welcome.
00:28:58As a rule, the food here is pretty ordinary.
00:29:01The wine is usually rather good.
00:29:03And I have made sure there is plenty of it.
00:29:07So I have no doubt
00:29:09we will have a wonderful evening.
00:29:26It felt so good.
00:29:28My sister talks all the time
00:29:30about how she isn't suited to it well.
00:29:32I was born for it.
00:29:34I know.
00:29:36Afterwards, I told them to put as many engagements
00:29:38in the diaries they like for the next few months.
00:29:40Vestitures, rebelles, different...
00:29:42Well, why not?
00:29:43Oh, couldn't you come and watch me in action?
00:29:46Just once.
00:29:47If I thought it were without risk,
00:29:48I would in a flash,
00:29:49but if the papers get hold of it...
00:29:50Darling, papers love us.
00:29:53People are for us.
00:29:55Hmm.
00:29:55In their eyes, we can do no wrong.
00:30:06Ready?
00:30:10I know.
00:30:12Almost, you go ahead.
00:30:17Just give me a moment, please, gents.
00:30:19I'll be right with you.
00:30:20Okay.
00:30:21Of course.
00:30:21So you can go on the first, but I can't wait.
00:30:27What's the matter?
00:30:32There was an ambassador's reception in London last week.
00:30:35Apparently, Margaret was dazzling and brilliant.
00:30:39Would you have preferred she make a mess of it?
00:30:42No?
00:30:45Perhaps.
00:30:47Is that awful of me?
00:30:49Yes.
00:30:50Well, now you know.
00:30:51You didn't marry a saint.
00:30:52I knew that.
00:30:53Well, I wouldn't worry.
00:30:54I have great faith in her.
00:30:55In Margaret?
00:30:56Her ability to mess things up, in the long run.
00:31:00Or outshine me.
00:31:01And mess things up.
00:31:02And outshine me.
00:31:14That's unlike you.
00:31:17Sorry.
00:31:24You know, there is a danger we might be overdoing it.
00:31:27Perhaps it would be prudent to take a few things out.
00:31:33I mean, 57 Australian towns in 58 days.
00:31:38Maybe we don't visit all of them.
00:31:46No.
00:31:49No.
00:31:51We keep every appointment.
00:31:54No cancellations.
00:31:56Not one.
00:32:01I'm afraid the day does hold some challenges, ma'am.
00:32:04The route's ten miles, and the street's already packed.
00:32:08Well, how long will it take?
00:32:09I'm allowed two hours.
00:32:10Two hours?
00:32:11In a hundred degree heat.
00:32:13I could ask them to increase the pan driving speed a little,
00:32:16but I think the horses might struggle.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18We'll be fine.
00:32:41We'll be fine.
00:32:42We'll be fine.
00:32:49We'll be fine.
00:32:53We'll be fine.
00:32:54We'll be fine.
00:32:54We'll be fine.
00:32:55We'll be fine.
00:32:55We'll be fine.
00:32:55We'll be fine.
00:32:56We'll be fine.
00:33:00We'll be fine.
00:33:14Here she is at last, amongst us, charming our people in city after city, open-handed Sydney
00:33:25first, then good-hearted Adelaide, on to Venerable Hobart, nestling at the cool feet of Mount
00:33:35Wellington.
00:33:40That's it, the castle of May.
00:33:44Isn't she Bonnie?
00:33:48Oh, yes.
00:33:53And what a view!
00:34:25Captain Invert Terry, Commander Vener, and Lady Doris, and, uh, we've met.
00:34:38I don't think so.
00:34:39Yes, yes, yes, it's your, your, your face, it's, uh, it's very familiar.
00:34:46Don't say a thing, it'll come to me.
00:34:49May we come in?
00:34:51Yes, yes.
00:34:56Well, if you were to be interested in property, I've got to be entirely honest, the, uh, the
00:35:03roof does need a, does need a bit of work.
00:35:08And one or two windows might need replacing, and the, uh, the electricity does need, well,
00:35:14installing, and there's no dining room to speak of, nor bathrooms.
00:35:19And I sold off most of the good shooting and fishing.
00:35:23Oh dear, you're really not a salesman.
00:35:25In fact, the place is in such a state, I'd sooner make a gift of it.
00:35:30I'm afraid I'd be quite unable to accept.
00:35:33Why not?
00:35:35It'd be frowned upon, it's something to do with who I am.
00:35:39You're an actress, a famous film star.
00:35:44No.
00:35:44A singer then?
00:35:46No.
00:35:47It's on the tip of my tongue.
00:35:54It, um, dates back to the, uh, to the mid-17th century.
00:36:00It was in the, uh, it was in the same family for 14 generations.
00:36:04We born, yes.
00:36:06In 1939, my wife and I had been, uh, very happy years ago.
00:36:11Okay.
00:36:12Thanks.
00:36:16The solution is, is obvious.
00:36:20Stop smiling.
00:36:22No.
00:36:22The trouble is I have the sort of face that if I'm not smiling,
00:36:25then everyone says, oh, isn't she gross?
00:36:28No, that's not.
00:36:29What, what do you think, doctor?
00:36:32It's a spasm.
00:36:33The muscles are overworked.
00:36:36Rest ought to fix it, though.
00:36:37Like I said, stop smiling.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40I have an engagement this evening.
00:36:42So what can be done?
00:36:44Well, I could inject the affected area with a relaxant.
00:36:48You'd have to watch yourself with soup, though.
00:36:51You might find you have less control chewing and drinking.
00:36:54And it's not a long-term solution.
00:36:57Oh.
00:36:58All right.
00:36:59I'll have the injection.
00:37:01Good God.
00:37:02What?
00:37:02And dribble soup worn over your dress.
00:37:04Do you know,
00:37:06the other night,
00:37:07I woke up with my right arm out from under the bedclothes.
00:37:10Do you know what I've been doing?
00:37:11I'd been waving to the crowds in my sleep.
00:37:17Right.
00:37:21Hold still, please.
00:37:23Your Majesty.
00:37:36American planes, guns, and ammunition are helping the French and Vietnam forces.
00:37:41Russian and Chinese weapons are aiding the Vietnam.
00:37:48Princess Margaret dons white overalls when she visits Calverton Colliery in Nottinghamshire.
00:37:52A visit to the Coalface, a quarter of a mile underground, is included in her tour of the colliery, which
00:37:58is recognized as one of the most modern in Europe.
00:38:01After almost an hour underground, the Princess brings back a souvenir.
00:38:05A piece of coal she hewed herself.
00:38:07Did you, uh, enjoy the mining, Your Royal Highness?
00:38:10I did.
00:38:11Very much.
00:38:11Although it's jolly dusty down there.
00:38:14Some even went into my mouth, but I can assure you, it tasted delicious.
00:38:18Have you experienced the conditions?
00:38:20Do you have sympathy for the miners that worked there?
00:38:22One could fail to have sympathy for anyone who has to spend their working life down there.
00:38:27It's intolerably dark and hot and cramped.
00:38:30To my eyes, it seems the conditions are still very perilous for these poor brave men who work underground for
00:38:37so very little.
00:38:38And, uh, what would you say to the authorities regarding the matter?
00:38:42Ah.
00:38:43No, I have nothing further to say.
00:38:45Who's the goal for?
00:38:50I have someone very special in mind.
00:38:54Group Captain Townsend?
00:38:58Are you missing him?
00:39:01Yes, I am.
00:39:02Very much.
00:39:04And are you missing your sister, Her Majesty the Queen?
00:39:09Not quite as much, no.
00:39:22Why not did you say that?
00:39:24What?
00:39:24That you missed me.
00:39:25I did.
00:39:26I do.
00:39:27I know, but that wasn't wise.
00:39:29Why not?
00:39:32Darling.
00:39:35You can't use a public occasion to take a dig at your sister like that.
00:39:40Wouldn't you start too?
00:39:41It's just, the palace won't like it.
00:39:44And we need the palace on our side.
00:39:49Who is it you think you'll be letting down anyway?
00:39:51A koala?
00:39:53This whole thing is a circus.
00:39:55It's a miserable circus.
00:39:58It's trudging from town to town.
00:40:00You know, the dancing bears.
00:40:07What are you doing?
00:40:08No, I'm taking back this small pleasure.
00:40:10You've taken away too much.
00:40:11No, no, no.
00:40:12Go see for Kendall.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:1640 a day your father smoked and now I know why.
00:40:18Poor bastard.
00:40:19You know, you probably took one look at this tour and thought,
00:40:21Do you know what?
00:40:22I'll be better off with cancer.
00:40:24Shut up.
00:40:28What is it you're trying to prove?
00:40:30What is it you want to hear him say?
00:40:34Bravo, Lilibet.
00:40:36Manage the whole tour.
00:40:38Lilibet never lets you down.
00:40:40Ticked every box.
00:40:43Never put a foot wrong.
00:40:45Now, finally, I love you more than I love Margaret.
00:40:49Get out!
00:40:50Get out!
00:40:51Get out!
00:40:56Don't you dare!
00:40:57I'm back here!
00:40:58Christ!
00:41:12Don't you dare!
00:41:13I'm back here!
00:41:14Christ!
00:41:35Let me go and have a word.
00:41:38No.
00:41:43I'll do it.
00:41:52I'm sorry for that little interlude.
00:41:57Though I'm sure it must happen in every marriage.
00:42:02Now, what would you like me to do?
00:42:05For your newsreel.
00:42:29Another gift for your majesty.
00:42:38Your royal highness,
00:42:40when you appear in public,
00:42:42performing official duties,
00:42:45you are not you.
00:42:46Of course I am me.
00:42:47Expressing political opinions about
00:42:49working conditions in mines,
00:42:52that business at Sadler's Wells.
00:42:55And no one wants you to be you.
00:42:57They want you to be it.
00:42:58A statue.
00:43:00A thing.
00:43:01The crown.
00:43:02That's what they've come to see.
00:43:03Not you.
00:43:05The minute you become yourself,
00:43:07you shatter the illusion.
00:43:09Break the spell.
00:43:11What people want
00:43:12is someone to inhabit it.
00:43:15Not be frightened of it.
00:43:16Make it flesh and blood.
00:43:18Bring it to life.
00:43:19Sure, uncle.
00:43:20Edward VIII.
00:43:21Threatened to do just that.
00:43:23Impose his individuality on the institution.
00:43:27Bring it to life.
00:43:28And he almost destroyed it in the process.
00:43:31You can't seriously be comparing this to the abdication.
00:43:34No.
00:43:35But I have decided that all remaining royal engagements
00:43:39in the queen's absence should be carried out by the queen mother.
00:43:44My mother is in Scotland.
00:43:46So I gather.
00:43:47But I've sent someone to bring her back.
00:43:51Right away.
00:43:54Your royal highness.
00:44:02You said eleven.
00:44:03What time is it now?
00:44:05Well, it's nearly noon.
00:44:07Goodness.
00:44:08And I settled in such good time.
00:44:11Did you come along the coast?
00:44:13I did.
00:44:14You didn't factor in the wind.
00:44:17You were into the wind this morning.
00:44:20Wasn't I just?
00:44:21The good news is you'll fly back.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:31I've, um, I've had a chance to do some thinking.
00:44:35I've spoken to my lawyers and I've come up with a sum
00:44:38that I think is a fair price for this magnificently situated castle.
00:44:44Yes, yes.
00:44:45Go on.
00:44:47Brace yourself.
00:44:49One hundred pounds.
00:44:53What?
00:44:54Oh, I'm sorry.
00:44:55Is that too dear?
00:44:58No, it's absurd.
00:45:00On the contrary.
00:45:00It's entirely fair.
00:45:01Given it'll end up costing you tens of thousands.
00:45:04Are you sure?
00:45:06No.
00:45:06The question is, are you sure?
00:45:15I am.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:18Congratulations.
00:45:19I hope you'll be very happy here.
00:45:23I have a feeling I will be.
00:45:24I can get the place cleared out inside a week.
00:45:27Oh, only if you've somewhere to go.
00:45:29I, I do.
00:45:30My sister's a few miles down the coast.
00:45:33Now, will I walk you back to the Viners?
00:45:36Downwind?
00:45:36That'd be lovely.
00:45:53Your Majesty.
00:45:56Forgive me for disturbing you.
00:45:59I come from the Prime Minister.
00:46:02He asks that you return to London immediately.
00:46:05Whatever for?
00:46:06This is all the information that I have.
00:46:12It seems I must go.
00:46:16Oh my God.
00:46:20It's finally come to you.
00:46:23Why on earth didn't you say, ma'am?
00:46:27Because people always make such a fuss.
00:46:31And stop being themselves.
00:46:35And you'd have doubled the price.
00:46:39Spoken like a true Scotswoman.
00:46:41God.
00:46:41Oh my God.
00:46:42Oh, my God.
00:47:12Now, my speech at the letter, there was one adjustment that I would like to make.
00:47:18I would like to refer to Malta as my island of happy memories.
00:47:26Very good, then.
00:47:28I can have the text retyped for your approval.
00:47:36Now, there do remain some security concerns about Gibraltar.
00:47:42What concerns?
00:47:44Death threats are sent to all the leaders of the major political parties,
00:47:49telling them that if our tour were to go to Gibraltar, our safety can't be guaranteed.
00:47:56I told them we should pull out.
00:47:59Why?
00:48:00You mean why?
00:48:01Because they don't much fancy shuffling the streets of Gibraltar like a sitting duck.
00:48:07No.
00:48:09Pulling out at this late hour will make us look weak.
00:48:12And it would be a great disappointment to the people of Gibraltar.
00:48:15I say we go.
00:48:16I say we don't.
00:48:24I am aware that I'm surrounded by people who feel that they could do the job better.
00:48:32Strong people with powerful characters.
00:48:36More natural leaders, perhaps better suited to leading from the front, making a mark.
00:48:41But for better or worse, the crown has landed on my head.
00:48:45And I say we go.
00:48:55The Royal Yacht Britannia sails towards Gibraltar.
00:48:58Visible on deck, Her Majesty the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
00:49:03Accompanying, Britannia, 15 A-class destroyers from the Mediterranean Sea.
00:49:09They're shooting with the 21-gun solution.
00:49:13A powerful signal to the people of Gibraltar of the Queen and the British Empire's enduring support.
00:49:43A powerful joule has already marked, Her Majesty, as a woman of death.
00:49:51A return to London after 50,000 miles by air, land and sea is a triumph of diplomacy at
00:49:59a challenging time for the Empire.
00:50:02Not a single item of the enormous list of engagements has been missed.
00:50:09Millions have seen and eaten their queen as she leaves the Commonwealth charmed and
00:50:14united.
00:50:18It is already clear that Her Majesty will occupy a place among the famous queens of history
00:50:25and promises a renewed role for Britain in the modern world.
00:50:30The Empire secure across the four corners of the earth, marking the start of a new Elizabethan age.
00:50:50The Empire.
00:50:56The Empire.
00:51:02Now, the Prime Minister's arrived.
00:51:12He can't get away from me!
00:51:16The Prime Minister, your Majesty.
00:51:21Congratulations, your Majesty!
00:51:23Thank you, Winston.
00:51:24An unqualified tribe.
00:51:26Well, I never escaped, I see. It could so easily have gone the other way.
00:51:28Well, but it didn't, and has put us right back where we belong. Higher, in fact.
00:51:35And before the tour, our great nation was in danger of losing much of its status.
00:51:43Our influence. Our standing.
00:51:45Your courage and conviction prevailed.
00:51:50This time, perhaps.
00:51:52But in time, they will surely grow tired of it. Grow tired of us.
00:51:56Only if the Crown, and the people representing the Crown,
00:52:01make mistakes, errors of judgement.
00:52:05My dear sister.
00:52:07Yes.
00:52:09What would you have me do?
00:52:21Thank you, ma'am.
00:52:22Your Majesty.
00:52:23Her Royal Highness is on her way.
00:52:27How could that you might...
00:52:28It's all right, I have been here before.
00:52:32Do you know the way?
00:52:45What, isn't there?
00:52:46Yes, ma'am.
00:53:13Yes, ma'am.
00:53:23What have I done to deserve this?
00:53:25The brief was simple.
00:53:28Perform minor ceremonial tasks, with a minimum of fuss.
00:53:34Not end up all over the newspapers.
00:53:35I can't help it if they want to write about me.
00:53:38Well, it would help if you didn't give them what they crave.
00:53:41Character and excitement.
00:53:43Kin stability and drama.
00:53:44Well, at least I give them something.
00:53:46You give them nothing.
00:53:47I give them silence.
00:53:49Silence is nothing.
00:53:51It's the absence of noise.
00:53:53Emptiness.
00:53:54Blank page.
00:53:55Which allows others to shine.
00:53:57But the monarchy should shine.
00:53:58The monarchy, yes.
00:54:00Not the monarch.
00:54:03Reparations will need to be made.
00:54:06To whom?
00:54:08To the people you offended.
00:54:11A general to whom, when asked if you'd like to dance,
00:54:14you replied, yes, but not with you.
00:54:17I believe there was also a debutante who you managed to make cry,
00:54:20and the dancers of Sadler's Wells,
00:54:22whom you refused to meet after arriving late for the performance.
00:54:26You showed individuality.
00:54:29And that made people panic.
00:54:31They don't want individuality.
00:54:34The last person who showed character almost took the ship down.
00:54:40You are enjoying this.
00:54:43Not a bit.
00:54:44Yes, you are.
00:54:49Admonishing your unruly young sister.
00:54:55Have you ever thought how it must be for me?
00:54:57Many times.
00:54:58At great length.
00:55:00Wistfully.
00:55:00You have a role.
00:55:02A clear set of rules.
00:55:04All you have to do is follow them.
00:55:06Margaret, you have freedom.
00:55:07All you have to do is enjoy it.
00:55:09You think that I am free?
00:55:11To be constantly in your shadow?
00:55:13Constantly the overlooked one?
00:55:15It looks like heaven to me.
00:55:16What you have looks like heaven to me.
00:55:26Two sisters who envy one another.
00:55:30You wouldn't be the first.
00:55:38Pride and joy.
00:55:42Remember what Papa called us?
00:55:45Yes.
00:55:46Yes.
00:55:48Elizabeth is my pride.
00:55:50And Margaret is my joy.
00:55:53But Margaret is my joy.
00:55:58I'm sorry.
00:55:59I have to claim the few victories I'm left with.
00:56:03And we're not disputing it surely.
00:56:07What?
00:56:07That I was Papa's favorite.
00:56:10That I was Papa's favorite.
00:56:17It's a cruel truth to it, isn't it?
00:56:21There are two sisters so close in age that the more one becomes one thing, the more the other necessarily
00:56:28becomes the opposite.
00:56:30But vice versa, it's the way of things.
00:56:34If one is the queen, it must be the source of honor and all that is good.
00:56:38The other necessarily becomes the focus of the most creative malice.
00:56:47Evil sister.
00:56:49No one says you're evil.
00:56:51Next to you will always be evil.
00:56:55Fictus.
00:56:57Lost.
00:57:00Lesser thing.
00:57:06And yet you spend so much time telling me that I'm a lesser thing.
00:57:12Only to give myself a moment's peace.
00:57:26Would you consider doing it for me?
00:57:28Just from time to time.
00:57:30What?
00:57:31Putting a foot wrong.
00:57:33The occasional mistake.
00:57:35Let the side down.
00:57:38So I might not be so conspicuous a failure by comparison.
00:57:42You're tired.
00:57:43No, I'm not.
00:57:44Not tired.
00:57:48I'm just asking for a future I can bear.
00:57:59Margaret.
00:58:05Do I have your word that those apologies will be made?
00:58:13We can help you draft letters or make statements.
00:58:21No need.
00:58:35No need.
00:58:36No need.
