00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:51It's not a head.
00:02:53It's not a head.
00:02:54It's not a head.
00:03:03It's not a head.
00:03:04It's not a head.
00:03:08It's not a head.
00:03:09It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:11It's not a head.
00:03:12It's not a head.
00:03:13It's not a head.
00:03:16It's not a head.
00:03:18It's not a head.
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandringham, but if you give me the all-clear to shoot, consider it given.
00:04:54I mean...
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Oh, Vinicius Scott.
00:05:05I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right.
00:05:06She's with me.
00:05:07Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Louisa?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:02Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on, be candid.
00:06:12It is said
00:06:14you can
00:06:15be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster, did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true. But you need to be a monster
00:06:23to defeat Hitler.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What did it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray
00:06:34vision, you will need to open it
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me
00:06:38what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America and the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:55Oh, very important.
00:06:57Then start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed if you hear no response.
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited
00:07:22is worse than 1949
00:07:26and in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in Stirling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimate...
00:07:41Suggests that in 1952
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:01to recover.
00:08:12Either we get rid of him now
00:08:14or we lose the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:18You must act, Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger,
00:08:23more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader
00:08:34and he became party leader
00:08:36on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:42Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:09:10You must go
00:09:32Thank you very much.
00:10:14Savage is good for nothing but scourge and nursery food.
00:10:17It's all right.
00:10:18You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Philip.
00:10:20Look.
00:10:21Stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:37You're all highness.
00:10:40Kiss me.
00:10:44Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:14Good afternoon.
00:11:15Has majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today?
00:11:21No.
00:11:22Not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday.
00:11:26But we can provide you with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:31Nine and a half.
00:11:34Five, though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:42Oi, oi, oi, oi!
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58It focuses almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union.
00:12:04So, important domestic matters are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:19Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend, as Albert Windsor, you are the one person I can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's what it is, I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47That person was murdered by his elder brother.
00:12:53When he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill.
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us.
00:13:11And that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out, is quite the stickler.
00:13:20And...
00:13:22You know what?
00:13:24Allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister, then stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir?
00:13:33The national interest, or Anthony Egypt's interest?
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience, not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate
00:14:00mine about you.
00:14:04Sir, the PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as the sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted.
00:14:14To encourage, it is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27I know high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:53Assault begins to walk back, sir.
00:14:56Assault begins to walk back.
00:15:37I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:41Pass me my rifle.
00:15:44And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary, and then only using a low voice.
00:15:58Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop.
00:16:03This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right.
00:16:09We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please.
00:16:12Arms late.
00:16:35White flag.
00:16:40Look, now!
00:16:56Look.
00:17:01You've slowly arrived.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you. I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no. You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip. Elizabeth, go. Go.
00:17:13Bite your eyes. Stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:25Elizabeth.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Easy. Easy. Hey, hey, hey.
00:17:30Hey. Hey. Hey.
00:17:32Over here. Over here.
00:17:34Hey.
00:17:35Around. Around.
00:17:38Your highness, very slowly.
00:17:47Easy. Easy. Stay with me.
00:17:50Keep going, your highness. Keep going. Quickly.
00:17:52Hey. Hey. Stay with me.
00:17:54Away. Away. Away.
00:17:57Away.
00:18:00Get back away.
00:18:02When you go. Easy.
00:18:08You're the king.
00:18:13Good boy.
00:18:16Good boy.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:34You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:45I've been thinking.
00:18:46Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve, well, I thought I'd ask if we might return to Malta, so you
00:18:59can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:05I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:09I have.
00:19:12Well, I have too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:23All right, Papa.
00:19:33No.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:36Yes.
00:19:36Absolutely not.
00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38Come on.
00:19:39Come on.
00:19:40Just one.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Shhh.
00:19:45Den bull, Den bull.
00:20:35Anyone not here?
00:20:37Feed out!
00:20:43Right.
00:20:44Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:49moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight,
00:20:57not to worry,
00:20:58you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short parts on the horn.
00:21:07Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:13Thank you very much.
00:21:19Hello.
00:21:20Room for one more?
00:21:22Always.
00:21:27Right.
00:21:28Easy on the clutch, eyes on the road.
00:21:31Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:44Couldn't sleep.
00:21:47And wouldn't sleep.
00:21:50And wouldn't sleep.
00:21:50When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep.
00:21:55Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered, am I?
00:22:07Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold, I agree.
00:22:16I agree.
00:22:18He can laugh, but I love him.
00:22:23Although the laugh's on me.
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him.
00:22:35And long for the day when I cling to him.
00:22:40The only witch, bothered, and bewildered, am I.
00:23:14The crowd's chairs heralded the arrival of the king's car, bringing their majesties and Princess Margaret to the airport.
00:23:21For a last farewell to the royal travelers.
00:23:24Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were off on a commonwealth journey.
00:23:28Nineteen hours later, the royal plane landed at Nairobi.
00:23:32Ahead of them lay a 30,000 mile trip that will take them in five months to four continents.
00:23:38The journey which, but for his illness, the king himself would have undertaken, was almost underway.
00:23:44I'm from there on the wall.
00:23:46I want to see you.
00:24:19I want to see you.
00:24:20Good morning, your majesty.
00:24:227.30, sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:25:03Sir?
00:25:04Sir!
00:25:10I'm not here!
00:25:20Don't worry, my king has just lost me.
00:25:28Oh!
00:25:31No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37Please!
00:25:49No!
00:26:05No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:07No!
00:26:07No!
00:26:42I'll call the Foreign Secretary, tell him, hide Park Corner.
00:26:50He'll understand.
00:26:58Has the Princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new Queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05And then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the Governor in Nairobi.
00:27:15We're trying to find the same story.
00:27:15We're trying to find the same story.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't. We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35You think any other reporters anywhere in the world will be waiting for an all clear?
00:28:39I've had the BBC on the phone again.
00:28:41The news is breaking everywhere.
00:28:43They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news of the princess?
00:28:47No, sir. Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:28:59Thank God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All they have to do is make sure the fan's off and wait.
00:29:11No, stop!
00:29:13She's just... she's overheated.
00:29:16No, can I have that? Thank you.
00:29:17All you have to do...
00:29:18I'm sorry.
00:29:21It's weak.
00:29:23It's all right. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:30This is London.
00:29:33It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement.
00:29:37It was announced from Sandringham at 10.45 today.
00:29:41It was announced this morning, since his property was deprived of Sandringham.
00:29:46I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:29:50What's the time that you fall?
00:29:52No more than disenfants, I'm going to ask you if you want to.
00:29:55The car is a great deal, and the car is a great deal.
00:30:00The car is a great deal, and the car is a great deal.
00:30:08Then drive to Nanyukai.
00:30:10Nanyukai.
00:30:11Sorry, in a close car, rather than 10.30.
00:30:14Morris!
00:30:1410.35.
00:30:16Reuters, for you.
00:30:17I'm not asking for a single motorist, but just...
00:30:1910.45, sorry.
00:30:21There'll be a demonstration of the units of the African rifles.
00:30:23Christ.
00:30:26Hold on, would you?
00:30:271,300, drive to Narnyuki Airfield on board.
00:30:30East African Airways, C-47.
00:30:32Parting on a 1330 schedule flight.
00:30:36As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute
00:30:39and news spreads throughout our cities and villages,
00:30:43crowds gather to mourn King George VI.
00:30:47We are comforted by the knowledge that he spent his final hours
00:30:50in the happy company of his wife and youngest daughter.
00:30:54For it is as a devoted family man
00:30:57that we as a nation shall best remember him.
00:31:01They don't know.
00:31:06To Ghana, now, man!
00:31:31How is she talking?
00:31:33It was wonderful.
00:31:34We saw elephants.
00:31:36The first lemon.
00:31:38Oh, that looks delicious.
00:31:39Welcome back, ma'am.
00:31:41Let's go.
00:31:42Let's drive, shall we?
00:31:47Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:49Go.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:32:12Princess Elizabeth.
00:32:16Princess Elizabeth.
00:32:17The princess.
00:32:19She is?
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief felt amongst his people today stems from their respect.
00:33:32I know it happened.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, sir.
00:33:50Yes, sir.
00:34:32The king, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in his sleep.
00:34:40The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
00:35:03The Queen and the Royal Family.
00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14Your Royal Highness, this is the end of the day, and this is the end of the day, and this
00:36:20is the end of the day.
00:36:24I don't know.
00:36:31I don't know.
00:36:40And you're still there.
00:36:44I'm here.
00:36:45And you're still there.
00:37:26I'm going to send you away, but I won't let them, I'm going to tell my mother not to send
00:37:30you, I won't.
00:37:48I'm going to send you away, I'm going to send you away, I'm going to send you away.
00:38:01I'm going to send you away.
00:38:09Ma'am, may I have a word?
00:38:30Ma'am, may I have a word?
00:38:38There's many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondence mostly, assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:58Ma'am, may I have a word?
00:39:09I mean, your father took George, obviously his name is, was, Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward.
00:39:23Of course, his name was David.
00:39:25What's wrong with my name?
00:39:27Nothing.
00:39:34Well then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:44Long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:11Well then, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:19Go, go, go.
00:40:23Go, go, go, go.
00:40:24Go, go, go, go.
00:40:27Nice.
00:40:29I just went into my family.
00:40:35See my family by this.
00:40:46I ain't here.
00:40:51I knew God.
00:40:51I knew God.
00:40:52God.
00:40:52God.
00:40:53God.
00:40:54God.
00:40:55God.
00:40:56Jesus that was my father.
00:40:57Hey, now.
00:41:28Hey, now.
00:41:57Hey, now.
00:42:27Hey, now.
00:42:28Hey, now.
00:42:58Hey, now.
00:42:59Hey, now.
00:43:16Hey, now.
00:43:18Hey, now.
00:43:19Hey, now.
00:43:21Hey, now.
00:43:39I couldn't sleep.
00:43:40No one in the country can sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears.
00:43:47But...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife, she said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01What for?
00:44:01What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age, your leadership, your incapacity, and to ask him to bid you to stand
00:44:11down.
00:44:11Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:12Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:13The king would never engage in such a treachery.
00:44:15And Antony would never dare.
00:44:17I've been like a father to him.
00:44:20I've groomed him every step of the way.
00:44:26Well, it's probably, you know, it's probably, you know, it's probably, you know, it's my eulogy for the king.
00:44:42It's broadcast tomorrow, and the right words keep eluding me.
00:44:47They'll want you to fail, you know.
00:44:49I know, anything less than perfect will be a disaster.
00:44:58Antony, eh?
00:45:10I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You're sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:51Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When we land.
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:20Good morning.
00:46:22Good morning.
00:46:23The M will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:25I'm very much tired from all the emotion of yesterday.
00:46:31So where is he?
00:46:32He's still asleep.
00:46:34So in his absence, as deputy, I will preside.
00:46:43The Queen's flight is...
00:46:45Wait a minute, Antony.
00:46:47If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM,
00:46:52shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:08Very well.
00:47:24Sir, the Queen's flight is now over Italy,
00:47:29having left the El Adem airfield in Libya at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:45May I just say how very sorry I am that we'll not be working together anymore?
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels.
00:47:56As private secretary to the Sovereign, he's my senior.
00:48:01This is where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin.
00:48:07So sorry.
00:48:15Now.
00:48:20What a nightmare.
00:48:22Jodris at least had one foot in the real world.
00:48:26And was your man, our man, on our side?
00:48:32Or was Tommy Lassels stuck in the land that time for gold?
00:48:41You asked to see me, sir?
00:48:44I did.
00:48:47Will you sit?
00:48:49Thank you, sir.
00:48:52I'd assumed that, following the death of his late majesty,
00:48:57you would, at the earliest appropriate moment,
00:49:01be resuming your duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen,
00:49:11the Queen Mother, this morning,
00:49:13who then asked me, quite unusually,
00:49:16to ask you whether you might like to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:21She felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband,
00:49:26and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:32In the light of this,
00:49:33she wondered whether you might consider
00:49:35staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller of the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:41a kind and generous offer,
00:49:43as befits the widow
00:49:45of a kind
00:49:47and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered,
00:49:53I don't expect you to accept the post.
00:49:55Hence my discouragement of the offer.
00:49:58I didn't want Her Majesty to suffer
00:49:59the embarrassment of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:04You're asking the wrong question, Townsend.
00:50:06Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero,
00:50:10still in your prime,
00:50:11controller of the Queen Mother's household,
00:50:13has no military associations,
00:50:15would take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all,
00:50:19the person with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding
00:50:23is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy
00:50:36an uncommonly close understanding,
00:50:38which would make accepting this post
00:50:40more attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend.
00:50:47Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself that
00:51:05because no one has confronted you about it,
00:51:08that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community of those that serve the family,
00:51:18may I regret to tell you,
00:51:20the talk,
00:51:21ugly talk,
00:51:23unbecoming tittle-tattle,
00:51:24is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware
00:51:27of the toll
00:51:28that a round-the-clock service
00:51:30takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve.
00:51:33I am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings
00:51:36generated by continued close proximity
00:51:40to the people you're working for,
00:51:42but I would hate you
00:51:43to mistake those feelings
00:51:45for anything else.
00:51:58Will you thank the Queen Mother
00:51:59for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush.
00:52:11Take your time to think it over.
00:52:1372 hours?
00:52:15A week?
00:52:17I want you to make the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir.
00:52:21The answer is yes.
00:52:39I want you to make the right decision.
00:52:57Kingston.
00:53:00Impeccable timing.
00:53:06That's the one.
00:53:17Your Majesty.
00:53:19I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22and this map
00:53:23from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Chargerous.
00:53:32I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:50Martin.
00:54:11Dearest Lilibet,
00:54:13I know how you loved your papa,
00:54:15my son,
00:54:17and I know you will be
00:54:19as devastated as I am
00:54:20by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments
00:54:25to one side now
00:54:26for duty calls.
00:54:30The grief for your father's death
00:54:31will be felt far and wide.
00:54:34Your people will need
00:54:35your strength and leadership.
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies
00:54:46brought down through their failure
00:54:47to separate personal indulgences
00:54:50from duty.
00:54:52You must not allow yourself
00:54:55to make similar mistakes.
00:54:57And while you mourn your father,
00:55:00you must also mourn someone else.
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten.
00:55:06For she has now been replaced
00:55:09by another person,
00:55:11Elizabeth Regina.
00:55:17The two Elizabeths
00:55:19will frequently be in conflict
00:55:21with one another.
00:55:23The fact is,
00:55:26the crown must win.
00:55:31Must always win.
00:55:37Ready, ma'am.
00:55:38It's all right.
00:55:39I'll escort it out from here.
00:55:41No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind,
00:55:43the crown takes precedence.
00:55:46The crown must win.
00:55:47The crown must win.
00:55:57The crown must win.
00:55:59The crown must win.
00:56:02Oh, sir.
00:56:06You need to have to win.
00:56:10The crown must win.
00:56:12No, sir.
00:56:13Stand by, everybody.
00:56:20Shocking, shocking.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:39Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives, which resounded far and wide.
00:57:30Stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life.
00:57:37And made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.
00:57:50The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:06Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother.
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle.
00:58:37With a heart that never quavered.
00:58:40And a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport.
00:59:06And after good night to those who loved him best.
00:59:11He fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:51Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II.
01:00:09Like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I.
01:00:14Did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:39I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era,
01:00:50may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the Queen.
01:01:07God save the Queen.
01:01:10God save the Queen.
01:01:23Love can all quest and all quest and all quest
