00:02:01It's ridiculous.
00:02:07Marry me.
00:02:14That's not a proposal. I can't do that without my mother's permission, but...
00:02:19I realise more than anything in the world, I want you to be my wife.
00:02:30That's a complete disaster.
00:02:33Including the Prime Minister's claim that Saddam's apparently non-existent weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes.
00:02:53Good morning, gentlemen.
00:02:55Good morning, ma'am.
00:02:55Good morning.
00:02:56Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting is, and I should say it's not because we have any reason to
00:03:02be fearful...
00:03:03Oh, get on with it, David.
00:03:05...that we might really step up our planning of Operation London Bridge.
00:03:10That's the code name for your funeral, ma'am.
00:03:13We know what it is, Edward.
00:03:15Is that really necessary? I recently got a clean bill of health, and in terms of age, I'm only...
00:03:20Eighty.
00:03:21Yes, all right. Not quite.
00:03:23A matter of months.
00:03:25Simply for reasons of prudence and good order.
00:03:27In which case, why not start with the Duke of Edinburgh? He's older than me.
00:03:31And statistically, men tend to die earlier.
00:03:34Well, that's true. And that's why we've been working on mine for years.
00:03:38Operation Fourth Bridge.
00:03:40Oh. No, don't say that.
00:03:41Why?
00:03:42It's so sad.
00:03:44Oh, no. No, it's... I'm finding it all rather stimulating.
00:03:49You might, too.
00:03:51It's surprising what it all stirs up, isn't it, Edward?
00:03:54Yes.
00:03:54So, with your permission, ma'am, can we make a start?
00:04:15As a template, we've used the funeral of the late King George VI, we would call on an estimated 6
00:04:23,000 military personnel of the procession.
00:04:25A tri-service parade, embracing each of the armed services,
00:04:31alongside representatives from the 15 other Commonwealth realms.
00:04:36The gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard.
00:04:40They will march at the customary rhythm of service.
00:06:54What's going on?
00:06:55The Prime Minister's just coming out, sir.
00:07:12Do you remember when he first came to power?
00:07:14They took to the streets and cheered.
00:07:16Now they want to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:07:21Tony Blair has become Tony Blair.
00:07:25One's reminded once again that the career of prime ministers is nasty, brutish and short.
00:07:31Except I gather he's no intention of stepping down.
00:07:33His ambition is to become the first Labour prime minister to win a third successive term.
00:07:38That's the thing.
00:07:40Once people get a taste of life at the top, they never want to leave.
00:07:43Is that right?
00:07:44Is that right?
00:07:45I just want to keep on and on.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49Anyway, I'm sure this is not why you've come to see me today.
00:07:53No.
00:08:01I've come to make a request I wish I'd made 30 years ago.
00:08:07To ask your blessing to marry Camilla.
00:08:15Can't say this has come out of the blue, Mummy.
00:08:18She and I have been in love now for 30 years.
00:08:23And every day of those 30 years, she has been heroic.
00:08:27You don't think ending her relationship with you once you'd married Diana would have been heroic?
00:08:33She did.
00:08:34Camilla is blameless in that regard.
00:08:36She always wanted to keep her marriage.
00:08:38Then why didn't she?
00:08:39Because her husband left.
00:08:41And why did he do that?
00:08:43Because he'd had enough, as I understand it, of reading about her adultery with you in the newspapers.
00:08:47You and I both know Andrew is no angel.
00:08:50He was serially unfaithful himself.
00:08:52So can we agree there's nothing heroic about any of this?
00:08:55For years and years, Camilla has suffered judgment and calumny and never, ever complained.
00:09:01Not once.
00:09:03That is heroic.
00:09:06Instead, she stayed silent and loyal to you and the Crown.
00:09:12But not a single thank you in return.
00:09:15A thank you?
00:09:16Yes, thank you.
00:09:17Not just for her discretion, but for loving and making happy the person who's next in line.
00:09:25That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:38What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:44He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50I've always said, Mummy, that you couldn't do the job without Papa by your side.
00:09:57That he's your strength and stay.
00:10:02And Camilla is my strength.
00:10:05And my stay.
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her.
00:10:11I will reflect on it.
00:10:14Take advice.
00:10:17And give you an answer soon.
00:10:42You'll probably be fine.
00:10:50You all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge.
00:10:55Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:10:57Oh, yes. A little heavy at the moment, ma'am.
00:10:59But it will shrink down nicely as you begin to express your preferences.
00:11:03My preference would be a quiet service in Scotland out of sight and over in 20 minutes.
00:11:08Perfectly understandable.
00:11:10But this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest serving monarch in history.
00:11:14People will want to celebrate your reign and mark the end of an era.
00:11:18Not just here, but all around the world.
00:11:20So, I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies depending upon where the, uh, forgive me, ma'am, the, uh,
00:11:28death actually occurs.
00:11:29If it's abroad, ma'am, or here in the United Kingdom.
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local.
00:11:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:11:40The first chapter is, if the event occurs on a foreign tour, please turn to page 10.
00:11:53Are you guys going to Harry Meade's birthday party?
00:11:56Definitely.
00:11:57When is it?
00:11:58Next week.
00:11:59Should be good.
00:12:00250 people going.
00:12:03Fancy dress.
00:12:04I hate fancy dress.
00:12:05You have to rent a costume, which invariably stinks of other people's BO.
00:12:09Fucking royal twat.
00:12:12Meet my brother. Life and soul.
00:12:15What's the theme?
00:12:17Colonials and natives.
00:12:18Then there's that.
00:12:21You think they could have picked a more offensive theme?
00:12:23Mate, you're such an undergraduate now.
00:12:25You'd have never said that before you went to uni.
00:12:27Now I am saying it.
00:12:28Cliche.
00:12:29That's me, Dad. I'm out.
00:12:30Fucking idiot.
00:12:31Come on, lads.
00:12:32You know, you can't fucking shoot me.
00:12:35Fuck you. Fuck the race.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on, hold on.
00:12:39Hold on, hold on.
00:12:40He's going.
00:12:42Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses.
00:12:48I just had a call from the Queen's private secretary.
00:12:52Can you come down, please?
00:12:54It's never good when they come in packs.
00:12:59Yeah.
00:12:59You're welcome.
00:13:28Your Majesty.
00:13:29My Lord Bishops, I asked you all here today because the Prince of Wales has requested my permission to marry
00:13:38Mrs. Parker Bowles.
00:13:42And I think I'd like to grant it.
00:13:51And of course, as head of the Church of England, that is your right.
00:13:57But it will not be straightforward.
00:13:59Or, one suspects, popular.
00:14:02Why? I was led to believe the General Synod had eased its stance on the marriage of divorcees.
00:14:09It has. But many people in this country still believe that the relationship between the Prince of Wales and Mrs.
00:14:18Parker Bowles was responsible for the breakdown of a royal marriage.
00:14:23The Church, I think, needs to be satisfied that permitting the new marriage would not, in effect, consecrate a past
00:14:33infidelity.
00:14:35For the Church of England to be seen to be blessing it could risk a split in the Anglican Communion.
00:14:43One suggestion could be that, and I would be interested in hearing the Archbishop of Canterbury's view, that the Prince
00:14:51and Mrs. Parker Bowles marry in a civil ceremony and then have a Church blessing afterwards.
00:14:57In a registry office?
00:15:00In the eyes of the Church, no marriage service is more legitimate than another.
00:15:04It's more a question of signals, appearances.
00:15:08A condition of the blessing could be some form of atonement.
00:15:15Quite so. Some acknowledgement of wrongdoing on the couple's part.
00:15:22Man, the service might include a prayer of penitence, in which the couple join with the congregation in asking forgiveness
00:15:31for past wickedness.
00:15:39I've always taken comfort in the knowledge that God retaineth not his anger forever, because he delighteth in mercy.
00:15:49Whatever short-term risk the marriage may present to the integrity of the Church, one has to imagine it would
00:15:56do less damage than if I were to die.
00:15:59Well, it is going to happen one day.
00:16:04And my heir acceded to the throne while living in sin.
00:16:24Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:27It was an incredible decision.
00:16:30Your old Highnesses, Her Majesty, we'll see you now.
00:16:36Tracks.
00:16:37Come on, hurry.
00:16:38Come on, hurry.
00:16:50Granny.
00:16:52Thank you both for coming.
00:16:54Now, I need some air.
00:16:56Would you be very cross if I suggest we go for a walk?
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:11I'd like to discuss your dear Papa.
00:17:14What's he done now?
00:17:15Nothing he's done.
00:17:18It's what he wants to do.
00:17:22How would you both feel about him getting married?
00:17:26I knew it.
00:17:28Why can't they just carry on as they are?
00:17:30Because Charles would be king one day.
00:17:32The last time we had an unmarried king on the throne, it did not end well.
00:17:36Yeah, but was he...
00:17:40Obviously, both of us prefer to think of him with mummy.
00:17:43And anything other than that feels...
00:17:46Wrong.
00:17:47So wrong.
00:17:49But I suppose this is the reality.
00:17:53And she does seem to make him happy.
00:17:57Does she?
00:17:59And having him happy and settled is good for us.
00:18:04And ultimately, good for...
00:18:06Good for?
00:18:07Well, as you say, he is going to be king, isn't he, one day?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:14Plus, then he might finally shut up about it all.
00:18:19So.
00:18:22Is that a yes?
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:28I didn't want to give my blessing until you'd given yours.
00:18:36Yes, good.
00:18:44Yes?
00:18:47Yes, of course.
00:18:48It's the Queen.
00:18:50You're wrong, Highness.
00:18:51My Highness.
00:18:52Yes, put her through, please.
00:19:02Mummy.
00:19:03I've spoken to the Archbishop of Canterbury.
00:19:08I can't believe you caved like that.
00:19:10I didn't cave.
00:19:11I'm just being a realist.
00:19:12And changing your tune.
00:19:13I'm not saying what you feel.
00:19:14That's what being a realist is.
00:19:15You're such a fucking company, man.
00:19:17I'm just trying to be an adult.
00:19:19I don't expect you to understand what that feels like.
00:19:24Congratulations.
00:19:28Thank you, Mummy.
00:19:36It's done.
00:19:36I'll let you see.
00:19:38All right.
00:20:04Good.ļæ½
00:21:07That's a relief.
00:21:09They supported the idea of the marriage.
00:21:12Slightly through gritted teeth.
00:21:16Harry's more gritted than William's.
00:21:19I'm not surprised.
00:21:22I worry about Harry.
00:21:25We all do.
00:21:27Sometime in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted, all this talk of my funeral has stirred things up a bit.
00:21:47Anything you want to discuss?
00:21:50Not yet.
00:21:58Well, in that case, good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:03All right.
00:22:35Wait.
00:23:08You asked to see me.
00:23:09I did.
00:23:11I hope you know how much everyone appreciates your beautiful music every day.
00:23:16I don't mind telling you.
00:23:18There are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit...
00:23:22Then I hear you play and all that goes away.
00:23:25Thank you, ma'am.
00:23:27They've got me planning my funeral at the moment, just as a precaution.
00:23:32And I'm in the process of choosing the music and wondered if there was a tune for the pipes you
00:23:37thought might work.
00:23:42There are a number of laments written for fallen soldiers, ma'am.
00:23:48I will go home to contain.
00:23:50It springs to mind.
00:23:52Lord Lovett's lament.
00:23:53But is there a particular one that you like?
00:23:56Well, me?
00:23:57Ma'am.
00:23:58Yes, pipes.
00:23:59Yes, pipes.
00:24:05There is...
00:24:08There is one that I particularly like.
00:24:15A sleep, dearie, sleep.
00:24:18Will you play it for me?
00:24:25What, now?
00:24:26Why not?
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:29It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:24:31It's not a din to me.
00:25:28It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:25:30Lie down on your wee pickle store.
00:25:38It's not very broad.
00:25:42And it's not very broad.
00:25:47But, dearie, it's better than nothing at all.
00:25:59Sleep, dearie, sleep.
00:26:01Sleep, dearie, sleep.
00:26:02Sleep, dearie, sleep.
00:26:12What's your todas?
00:26:19We're here on of your Kansas City.
00:26:24And we, by the times wefire.
00:26:24We are over the place, so we-
00:26:32Ta-da!
00:26:33Here we go!
00:26:35What about an astronaut?
00:26:36Or a cowboy?
00:26:38No, he's more of a goody-goody.
00:26:39Or a dick.
00:26:40I'm going as a lion.
00:26:41As a lion king.
00:26:43Oh, R of R.
00:26:44I'm going to go.
00:26:44What about biggles?
00:26:46What's that got to do with colonials and natives?
00:26:48Good point.
00:26:50Germany had an empire, didn't they?
00:26:52What about this?
00:26:54I don't know.
00:26:55Maybe cover the swastika?
00:26:56Oh, come on.
00:26:57Wearing the outfit doesn't make him a Nazi.
00:27:00Isn't that the joke?
00:27:01How about that wedding dress for you?
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:05Don't pretend you haven't already thought about it.
00:27:09Thanks, Harry.
00:27:10Nice touch.
00:27:11Your brother.
00:27:13What's got?
00:27:14Oh, you've got him.
00:27:18Hello.
00:27:21Who stole my gantra?
00:27:25That's my grandmother.
00:27:27That's my grandmother.
00:27:34Hello, darling.
00:27:36Queen is here.
00:27:38Hello.
00:27:39How you doing?
00:27:41How you doing?
00:27:41How you doing?
00:27:42Oh, how you doing?
00:27:44This is incredible.
00:27:45Three or five, you know.
00:27:46It's awesome.
00:27:48Germany.
00:27:49What are you doing?
00:27:49What am I doing?
00:27:50I'm being fat.
00:27:52What am I doing?
00:27:53I'm being fat.
00:27:54There we go.
00:27:55What are you doing?
00:27:57Guy.
00:27:58Guy.
00:27:59That's right.
00:28:00So you're going up into the stage.
00:28:02Excuse me.
00:28:03Excuse me.
00:28:03Excuse me.
00:28:04Excuse me.
00:28:05Excuse me.
00:28:06Excuse me.
00:28:07Excuse me.
00:28:09Oh, my God.
00:28:10Oh, my God.
00:28:13I want to be free.
00:28:16I want to break free from your lies.
00:28:24You're so satisfied at me.
00:28:29I want to break free.
00:28:32I want to break free.
00:28:34I want to break free from your lies.
00:28:53Oh, my God.
00:29:02Oh, my God.
00:29:06Oh, my God.
00:29:08What's going on?
00:29:08What's going on?
00:29:22What's up?
00:29:45Oh, shit.
00:29:59Oh, Harry.
00:30:17I was a troublemaker at school, repeatedly caned by my housemaster.
00:30:23Six of the best.
00:30:25We all make mistakes in the flashes of youth.
00:30:28Rarely as gross a misjudgment as this.
00:30:31A swastika armband two weeks before Holocaust Memorial Day.
00:30:36There's a great deal of affection in the country for Harry.
00:30:40An apology followed by a period of contrition should pave the way for forgiveness.
00:30:48Is that the advice you'll be giving yourself over Iraq?
00:30:53I think we can agree things are not working out too well over there.
00:30:58My hope is that the democratic elections scheduled for the end of this month will form the beginnings of an
00:31:05exit strategy that should allow us to close this chapter and move on.
00:31:15Well, that's a subject that's been coming up a lot recently.
00:31:33Well, you've got to thread it through.
00:31:39It's all right.
00:31:40It's all right.
00:31:40I think I remember.
00:31:41I remember.
00:31:52Good.
00:31:54Good.
00:31:56Good.
00:31:58It didn't.
00:31:58It's meant to go on to here.
00:32:01But it hasn't actually that about.
00:32:04It's stopped.
00:32:06No.
00:32:07Yes!
00:32:11Oh, you can go.
00:32:16Oh, good.
00:32:40Oh, good.
00:33:13Oh, good.
00:33:38Oh, good.
00:34:24Oh, good.
00:34:40Oh, good.
00:34:49Oh, good.
00:35:00Oh, good.
00:35:03Oh, good.
00:35:09Oh, good.
00:35:10Oh, good.
00:35:11Oh, good.
00:35:12Oh, good.
00:35:21Oh, good.
00:35:25Oh, good.
00:35:28Oh, good.
00:35:31Oh, good.
00:35:32Oh, good.
00:35:35Oh, good.
00:35:56Oh, good.
00:36:02Oh, good.
00:36:06Oh, good.
00:36:18Oh, good.
00:36:20Oh, good.
00:36:29Oh, good.
00:36:46Oh, good.
00:36:48Oh, good.
00:37:02Oh, good.
00:37:11Oh, good.
00:37:15Oh, good.
00:37:45Oh, good.
00:37:46Oh, good.
00:37:46Oh, good.
00:37:48Oh, good.
00:37:52Oh, good.
00:37:53Oh, good.
00:37:53Oh, good.
00:38:15Oh, good.
00:38:17Oh, good.
00:38:20Oh, good.
00:38:25Oh, good.
00:39:04Oh, good.
00:39:06Oh, good.
00:39:06retirement age for women no need to go on that's what I'm saying no need to go
00:39:12on your first loyalty has always been to the crown sometimes at the expense of
00:39:18being a mother
00:39:22stepping down is the right thing to do as Queen and as a mother
00:39:41I'm
00:40:06Everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding.
00:40:109th of April, at the Guildhall in Windsor.
00:40:14We also felt, given your role as head of the Church of England
00:40:18and the Church's position that marriage is a lifelong commitment,
00:40:22that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony in person.
00:40:27The idea being, you can watch the coverage on television
00:40:30and then join everyone for the service at St. George's Chapel
00:40:33and the reception at Windsor Castle.
00:40:39Has the Prime Minister been invited to the reception?
00:40:43Yes, ma'am.
00:40:44And the leader of the opposition?
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:47And the Archbishop of Canterbury?
00:40:49Yes.
00:40:50And there will be an opportunity for me to say a few words.
00:40:54Oh, I'm sure everyone would be delighted.
00:40:57Would you like me to draft something?
00:41:00That won't be necessary. I'll write something myself.
00:41:03That's all. Thank you, Robin.
00:41:20You were all for the uniform in the costume shop, egging me on.
00:41:23Now suddenly you're Mr. Morality.
00:41:25Oh, okay, right.
00:41:25Stabbing me in the back.
00:41:27Ladies and gentlemen, the jury, how many faces does this man have?
00:41:29You know, I'm not sure I like you're turning into.
00:41:31And I'm not sure I like you've been or not.
00:41:32Can you stop bickering, please? I beg you.
00:41:36How was supper?
00:41:38Well, I'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant.
00:41:41Boys were snapping at each other.
00:41:44Well, that's just boys.
00:41:45Can I just make one request?
00:41:47That you don't make my wedding day a misery.
00:41:51I've waited too long for it.
00:41:54Yes, but you didn't witness it.
00:41:56It was horrid how they were to each other.
00:41:59Vicious and unkind.
00:42:01They're young, riding the waves of emotion,
00:42:04which is understandable after what they've been through.
00:42:07Are they going to blame me, do you think,
00:42:09and hold me responsible for the way they've turned out?
00:42:13Well, being their father, you are responsible
00:42:16for making it better.
00:42:20As soon as they're through tomorrow, everything will be fine.
00:42:25I do hope so.
00:42:27How are you?
00:42:28Me?
00:42:30I'm all right.
00:42:32My sister persuaded me to get a fake tan,
00:42:34so now I smell like the dog's blanket.
00:42:41Are you having any last-minute doubts?
00:42:44Not me.
00:42:46I'm in.
00:42:50For all of it?
00:42:52For whatever being married to you turns out to be.
00:42:56Well, you might find out what that entails
00:42:59sooner than you imagine.
00:43:01What's that supposed to mean?
00:43:03Well, I've been told that the Queen intends
00:43:06to make a speech at the reception afterwards.
00:43:08A speech which nobody has seen
00:43:11and which she's, um, written herself.
00:43:17It feels like she's planning a big announcement.
00:43:22My father met with Anne to ask what she thought was in it,
00:43:26but she's as baffled as the rest of us.
00:43:28Then Anne rang Andrew, and he went riding with the Queen,
00:43:32but, you know, Andrew drew a complete blank.
00:43:37So if her intention was to set tongues wagging,
00:43:39she certainly succeeded.
00:43:43Don't give it any further thought.
00:43:46Yes.
00:43:48Just think about the boys.
00:43:51Thank you, darling.
00:44:11Here.
00:44:16Dinner was weird.
00:44:24When he overcompensates like that,
00:44:27this could be an exciting new chapter for us all.
00:44:32Baff.
00:44:33A few years ago,
00:44:35it would have pissed me off.
00:44:37Now I just don't care.
00:44:44I heard Granny's going to make a speech at the wedding.
00:44:47Would you like to know what else I had?
00:44:53That she's going to use the occasion
00:44:54to tell the family she's standing down
00:44:57after 50 years in the job.
00:44:58She'd never do that.
00:45:00And even if she did, why on Pa's big day?
00:45:02Because it's the wedding present he most wants.
00:45:07He does want it, doesn't he?
00:45:09Craves it.
00:45:12For him and for Camilla.
00:45:18If she did, you know what else it would mean?
00:45:21It would be you next.
00:45:24That would make you, William, the...
00:45:26Fifth.
00:45:27Better than second.
00:45:29He was assassinated by his brother.
00:45:31Who was he?
00:45:32Who, would you believe,
00:45:34was also called Prince Harry?
00:45:36He had William killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to Winchester
00:45:40to claim the throne for himself.
00:45:44Don't worry, mate.
00:45:45I wouldn't do that to you.
00:46:01Really?
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:02It's called Prince Harry.
00:46:04It's called Prince Harry.
00:46:06It's called Prince Harry.
00:46:07Oh, thank you.
00:46:09Oh, thank you.
00:46:13Oh, thank you.
00:46:37Wait, bud.
00:46:40You boys?
00:46:57You boys?
00:46:57You boys?
00:46:57You boys?
00:47:09You boys?
00:47:10You boys?
00:47:16You boys?
00:47:23You boys?

00:51:00You boys?
00:51:07You boys?
00:51:10You boys?
00:51:29You boys?
00:51:43You boys?
00:51:46You boys?
00:51:47You boys?
00:52:14You boys?
00:52:33You boys?
00:52:34You boys?
00:52:34You boys?
00:52:35You boys?
00:52:38You boys?
00:52:39You.
00:53:04Health care.
00:53:13Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:53:19maker of all things, judge of all men,
00:53:23we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,
00:53:28which we from time to time most grievously have committed
00:53:31by thought, word, and deed against thy divine majesty,
00:53:37provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.
00:53:42We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.
00:53:59Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:01And grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life,
00:54:08in the honour and glory of thy name.
00:54:12Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:54:52I'm ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:09May silence for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:44Today has been a memorable day, with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago, and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7-to-1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14
00:56:04lengths.
00:56:05Royal Leclerc finished second, simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chaplain at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21It is to be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for
00:57:28years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour.
00:58:13Both, as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:54Kendo!
00:58:55Hugo and Camilla.
00:58:55Get you!
00:58:56You're not getting good enough!
00:59:08Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:09binds all your numbers out.
00:59:11Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14Are you sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Nothing.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to.
00:59:43Go bad.
00:59:45I was going to say need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah.
00:59:53Photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:05Your royal highnesses.
01:00:06Your royal highnesses.
01:00:08Your future majesty.
01:00:13Your royal highnesses.
01:00:14Thank you very much.
01:00:16Ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:17Tootie.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them.
01:00:23Keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:40Harry.
01:00:42Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you your majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake.
01:00:47Get out of the way.
01:00:48This way please everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:00:59God's sake.
01:01:01Take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:03All right.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14For what e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way please.
01:01:30This way everyone please.
01:01:35Well that was a surprise.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:33Night on the town?
01:02:34Joyriding?
01:02:35Ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as queen for as long as you possibly can for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11But I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember?
01:03:12I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:29The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:32This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:41We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is, that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep dearly sleep.
01:04:38Oh.
01:04:39You looked?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:43A piper's lament.
01:04:46Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:53And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58You looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:03Well.
01:05:09I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:19No.
01:05:20Shut my body.
01:05:21No.
01:05:39I can't word it.
01:05:40You look.
