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 Sandring.
00:04:49I believe you'd give me the all-clear to shoot.
00:04:51Consider a given.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am. Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vinicius Scott. I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right. She's with me.
00:05:08Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:42Um...
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Who is that?
00:06:01Venetia.
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 be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster. Did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true.
00:06:21But you need to be a monster to defeat Hitler.
00:06:24Ah.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What's in it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray vision,
00:06:34you will need to open it,
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me what'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?
00:06:53Or the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:57Then, start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed.
00:07:02If you hear no response,
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:10What?
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949.
00:07:26And in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in sterling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimates...
00:07:41suggest 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
00:07:48five 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
00:08:00for recovery.
00:08:02the American
00:08:02of the United Kingdom
00:08:02of the United Kingdom.
00:08:05The American
00:08:05of the United Kingdom
00:08:05of the United Kingdom.
00:08:12The American
00:08:12Either we get
00:08:13with him now
00:08:14or we lose
00:08:15the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly
00:08:17lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:19You must act,
00:08:20Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs
00:08:23a younger, more 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
00:08:37on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:43Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:09:03it's going to be
00:09:13a
00:09:13the
00:09:25Karibu! Karibu! Karibu! Karibu! Karibu! Karibu!
00:09:31All right. Welcome.
00:09:32Thank you very much.
00:09:36I am pusher.
00:09:39Hello. Are those for me?
00:09:42Thank you very much.
00:09:43Yeah.
00:09:49Karibu.
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at Treetops, so we've got to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Oh, why?
00:10:05What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:08Where does everybody think, just because we're royal, we like fine dining, don't they realize we're savages good for nothing
00:10:15but school and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right.
00:10:17You can use your fingers.
00:10:19Karibu.
00:10:20Look, let's stop.
00:10:21Watch.
00:10:23Come on, Whit.
00:10:34Matt!
00:10:37Your old 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?
00:11:22No, not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday, but 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.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
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
00:12:08are 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 have run.
00:12:41It's as difficult as I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47That person was murdered by his elder brother when 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 no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir.
00:13:33The national interest or Anthony Eagin's interest.
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience,
00:13:56not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill,
00:13:59but to communicate mine about you, sir.
00:14:04The PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign,
00:14:12I do have the right to be consulted,
00:14:14to encourage, to warn.
00:14:19It is better to be patient
00:14:21and 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.
00:14:52Someone begins to walk back, sir.
00:15:13I'm going to go.
00:15:16Come on.
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:21I'm going to go.
00:15:22Come on.
00:15:23Come on.
00:15:24Oh, you're ready, sir!
00:15:26I think you'll be all right.
00:15:30How are you from here?
00:15:31It looks that way, sir.
00:15:32Thank you. Thank you.
00:15:34Your Highness. Thank you.
00:15:37I'm your guide, and I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Very good. Thank you.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle.
00:15:43Thank you. And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary,
00:15:56and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop. This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right. We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please. Arms late.
00:16:27Boys, boys.
00:16:31Dambo, Dambo, Dambo, Dambo!
00:16:34Dambo, Dambo!
00:16:35Black flag.
00:16:37The Lady!
00:16:38The hare whether to the people!
00:16:40сделал your这个 foe,
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:13Go.
00:17:13Right here, Inus, stay close.
00:17:15Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:21Oh, oh.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:17:36Around.
00:17:37Huh?
00:17:38Inus, very slowly.
00:17:40Hey.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:50Stay with me.
00:17:50Keep going, Your Highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Hey.
00:17:53Hey.
00:17:53Stay with me.
00:17:55Away.
00:17:56Away.
00:17:57Away.
00:18:00Back away.
00:18:02When you go.
00:18:05Easy.
00:18:09You're all the king.
00:18:13Good boy.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:29I'm the tree, John.
00:18:33You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:35I am.
00:18:44I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve,
00:18:55well, I thought I'd ask if we might return to Malta
00:18:58so you can 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.
00:19:21I'll write, Papa.
00:19:34No.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:35Yes.
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 want to slop it out.
00:19:41No.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Oh!
00:19:44Sshh, dimple.
00:19:46Dimple.
00:19:48Oh!
00:20:02Oh!
00:20:04Oh!
00:20:06Oh!
00:20:35Are you up not here?
00:20:37Speed out!
00:20:42Right.
00:20:43Good morning, gentlemen.
00:20:44There we are.
00:20:45Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:48moving up two each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight,
00:20:57not to worry, you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short parts on the horn.
00:21:07Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:11Are you ready?
00:21:13Fill the vehicle.
00:21:14Thank you very much.
00:21:15Oh.
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, not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry.
00:21:33I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:36Mama.
00:21:44Couldn't sleep, and wouldn't sleep,
00:21:49When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
00:21:55Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:00Am I?
00:22:07Lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold, I agree
00:22:17He 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
00:22:34And long for the day when I cling to him
00:22:40The only witch, bothered, and bewildered
00:22:48Am I?
00:23:14The crowd's cheers 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
00:23:23Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were off on a commonwealth journey
00:23:28Nineteen hours later, the royal plane landed at Nairobi
00:23:31Ahead of them lay a 30,000 mile trip
00:23:34That will take them in five months to four continents
00:23:38The journey which but for his illness the king himself would have undertaken
00:23:42Put almost underway
00:23:43And from there the world comes
00:23:46And from there the world comes
00:23:49All the air
00:24:19Good morning, Your Majesty.
00:24:227.30, sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:24:32Sir?
00:25:02Sir?
00:25:02Sir?
00:25:03Stay in front of me.
00:25:10I'm not here.
00:25:21Don't worry, my king has just lost me.
00:25:27Oh!
00:25:31No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:36Please!
00:25:39No!
00:25:49No!
00:25:51No!
00:26:02No!
00:26:04No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:09No!
00:26:10No!
00:26:14No!
00:26:16No!
00:26:20No!
00:26:27No!
00:26:30No!
00:26:30No!
00:26:42I'll call the foreign secretary, tell him, hide, bark, corner, he'll understand.
00:26:58Has the princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying. We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the governor in Nairobi.
00:27:42Let's go.
00:27:42Let's go.
00:27:42Let's go.
00:27:48Let's go.
00:27:58Let's go.
00:28:01Let's go.
00:28:08Let's go.
00:28:23Let's go
00:28:30We need to go
00:28:32We can't, we haven't had the all clear
00:28:34You 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, they can't keep holding
00:28:45No news on the princess?
00:28:47No sir, is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is
00:29:00God help her
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine
00:29:07All we have to do is make sure the fan is off and wait
00:29:11No, stop
00:29:13She's just, she's overheated
00:29:15No, can I have that? Thank you
00:29:17All you have to do
00:29:21Is wait
00:29:23It's alright, 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
00:29:41The death has been announced this morning
00:29:43Since his property is deprived of Sandringham
00:29:46We'll take care of it
00:29:48It's a way of wish
00:29:50It's a way of wish
00:29:53It's a way of wish
00:29:54It's a way of wish
00:29:55It's a way of wish
00:29:56It's a way of wish
00:30:08And then drive to Nanyuki
00:30:10Nanyuki
00:30:11Sorry, in a closed car
00:30:13Morris

00:30:20There'll be a demonstration of the units of the African rifles
00:30:23Christ
00:30:26Hold on, would you?
00:30:35As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute
00:30:39And news spreads throughout our cities and villages
00:30:42Crowds gather to mourn King George VI
00:30:46We 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
00:31:06Tugana, now man
00:31:25Thank you
00:31:26Thank you
00:31:27Thank you
00:31:27Thank you
00:31:27Thank you
00:31:27Thank you
00:31:28Thank you
00:31:29Thank you
00:31:29Thank you
00:31:30Thank you
00:31:30Thank you
00:31:32It was wonderful
00:31:34We saw elephants
00:31:36First little morning
00:31:38Oh, that looks delicious
00:31:39Welcome, Bert, ma'am
00:31:40Let's go
00:31:42Let's drive, shall we?
00:31:46Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:49Go
00:32:12Princess Luzba
00:32:16The princess
00:32:17He's in front of you
00:32:19Where?
00:32:37Countas
00:32:38Who are you doing?
00:32:46Diomo
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:03Hmm?
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, ma'am.
00:33:50No, no.
00:34:33The 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.
00:35:21The King, who retired to the Queen and the Royal Family.
00:35:39The Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:35:47The Royal Highness.
00:35:48The Royal Highness.
00:36:14The Royal Highness.
00:36:39The Royal Highness.
00:36:42The Royal Highness.
00:36:44The Royal Highness.
00:37:13The Royal Highness.
00:37:14The Royal Highness.ối
00:37:27They're going to send you away, but I won't let them up.
00:37:29I'm going to tell my mother not to send you.
00:37:31I won't.
00:37:48It's all right.
00:37:56You're not going.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:09Ma'am, may I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress.
00:38:27We've called ahead to London, and something will be brought onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:35And a word of warning, ma'am.
00:38:38A good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondence, mostly, assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:51Should I say something?
00:38:53No, that won't be necessary.
00:38:56Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am.
00:39:05Your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as queen.
00:39:10Your father took George.
00:39:12Obviously, his name is...
00:39:14was 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?
00:39:26Nothing.
00:39:28Nothing.
00:39:34Well, then, let's not over-complicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:43Then, long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:13Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:33Sunrise.
00:40:35Sunrise.
00:40:37Is her full money?
00:40:48Sunrise.
00:40:50Sunrise.
00:40:52Sunrise.
00:40:55Sunrise.
00:40:58Now.
00:45:09I can't sleep.
00:45:12I can't sleep.
00:45:35I'm sorry.
00:45:37I'm sorry.
00:45:39You're sorry.
00:45:41I'm sorry.
00:45:44I'm sorry.
00:45:45I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:51Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:02What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When?
00:46:07Can we land?
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:20Good morning.
00:46:22Good morning.
00:46:23Good morning.
00:46:24Good 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.
00:46:43good morning.
00:46:46Antony, if you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM shouldn't you
00:46:53be sitting in the appropriate chair? I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:09Very well.
00:47:24So, the Queen's flight is now over Italy, having left the El Adem airfield in Libya at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:46May 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. As private secretary to the Sovereign, he's my senior. This is
00:48:02where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin. So sorry.
00:48:19What a nightmare. Jodris at least had one foot in the real world. And was your man, our man, on
00:48:29our side?
00:48:32Mr. Tommy Lassels. He's stuck in the land at 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, you would, at the earliest appropriate moment, be resuming your
00:49:02duties with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:03Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the Queen, the Queen Mother, this morning, who then asked me, quite unusually, to ask you
00:49:16whether you might like to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Yes, sir.
00:49:20She felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association with her late husband, and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28but the trust and affection of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:32In the light of this, she wondered whether you might consider staying on in a new role as controller of
00:49:39the Queen Mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:41A kind and generous offer, as befits the widow of a kind and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure you're greatly flattered, I 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 the embarrassment of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:04You're asking the wrong question, Townsend. Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero, still in your prime, controller of the Queen Mother's household, has no military associations, would
00:50:15take you away from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all, the person with whom you enjoyed the uncommonly close understanding is deceased.
00:50:30Unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else with whom you enjoy an uncommonly close understanding, which would make accepting this post more
00:50:41attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend. Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself that because no one has confronted you about it, that 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, I regret to tell you that talk, ugly talk, unbecoming
00:51:23tittle-tattle, is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware of the toll that round-the-clock service takes on the private lives of those that
00:51:32serve.
00:51:33I am also aware of the feelings generated by continued close proximity to the people you're working for, but I
00:51:42would hate you to mistake those feelings for anything else.
00:51:58Will you thank the Queen Mother for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush. Take your time to think it over.
00:52:13Seventy-two hours? A week?
00:52:17I want you to make the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir. The answer is yes.
00:52:22...
00:52:28I don't know.
00:52:55I don't know.
00:52:56I don't know.
00:52:57I don't know.
00:53:00Impeccable timing.
00:53:06That's the one.
00:53:18Your Majesty, I've been asked to give you this, and this, man.
00:53:23From Her Majesty, Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Jodras.
00:53:31I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:49Martin.
00:53:49Martin.
00:54:18I'll take over from here.
00:54:20I am by this loss.
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now, for duty calls.
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide.
00:54:33Your people will need your strength and leadership.
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal indulgences from duty.
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes.
00:54:58And while you mourn your father, you must also mourn someone else.
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten.
00:55:06For she has now been replaced by another person, Elizabeth Regina.
00:55:17The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another.
00:55:23The fact is, the 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.
00:55:40No, sir.
00:55:41If you don't mind, the crown takes prescience.
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, stilled the clatter and traffic of twentieth-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, lived through every minute
00:58:34of this struggle with a heart that never quavered and a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport, and after good night to those who loved him best, he
00:59:11fell 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.
00:59:52Famous 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, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the
01:00:20crown.
01:00:21This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a
01:00:53thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:02God save the Queen.
01:01:07God save the Queen.
01:01:12I don't know.
01:01:43I don't know.
01:02:19I don't know.
01:02:49I don't know.
01:03:10I don't know.
