00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:57One, two, three.
02:58Come on, you're big, you're so silly! Come on!
03:08Hello?
03:13Andrew.
03:15Your royal highness!
03:20Mummy?

03:30the other room

03:42and is it just the four of you for christmas or
03:45i believe that's her now sir thank you right i'm playing move up laura you've been cheating again
03:52hello i wish you would answer the phone i never know what to say we're alone now
03:59i'm in the bedroom in bed on top of it lucky old bed
04:07are you still in tesha i am missing you terribly
04:14back soon though my darling are you still making the speech in oxford tomorrow yes
04:21that's the reason i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it is it very long
04:25only we're a full house no no no short and punchy and a bit controversial which is why i want
04:32your
04:33opinion you always know best when to rein me in all right oh remind me of the subject the teaching
04:41of
04:41english language in schools it is quite astounding to think that in england we have produced one of
04:49the world's most beautiful languages however the rate at which that language is degenerating has become
04:55a cause for concern it's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats
05:02of shelley of shakespeare efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching
05:08are no longer a priority if we look at the way english is used in business in the popular press
05:14or on television programs or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
05:48what's
05:50Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
06:20Everything happens at the end of the day, and every situation is a win-win.
06:26As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this, but the rot begins in the very institutions whose
06:33duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
06:39If we want to produce the next generation of great writers, we must use our education system to protect what
06:46is surely our greatest national export, the English language, which, like any language, is so much more than a collection
06:54of words.
06:56It's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
07:05What do you think?
07:06Oh, I think it's brilliant.
07:09I mean, you could go further.
07:10Our language is like an endangered species that needs to be protected.
07:14It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
07:17Oh, I quite agree.
07:19I read it to my private secretary and thinks I might have gone too far.
07:22I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
07:26Yes.
07:28I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
07:32Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
07:36Mm.
07:38You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
07:42Stop it.
07:46It's too dangerous.
07:48If we run this, we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:55But, uh, I don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else, either.
08:03So pay him what he wants.
08:05Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:12Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:14Have you gone to sleep?
08:15Now I'm here.
08:20Night of you.
08:23Adore you.
08:27Night.
08:29Night.
08:41Night.
08:42Night.
10:10You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
17:54That's right.
17:59Checked out, Rick.
18:00Right.
18:01Yes, sir.
18:04Wait, wait, wait.
18:21What's that?
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:48Having correctly identified your voices,
18:51he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it
18:57because of the potential damage it might do to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales
19:03have officially separated,
19:04the newspaper feels at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts
19:12to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:17How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults.
19:27No one else's business.
19:28Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception
19:32of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case
19:37claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
19:40which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:44Don't you remember the conversation?
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:03What do you think?
20:05I think it's brilliant.
20:08I think you could go further.
20:11Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:18Oh, I quite agree.
20:19I read it in my private secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to...
20:27leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it,
20:37if you know what I mean.
20:40Mmm.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:51God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:00Oh, that's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:13It's like that program, Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm all right.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:38I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:45Do you?
21:46Mmm.
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately.
21:49Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just live inside your trousers or something so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into?
21:58A pair of knickers?
22:00Oh, God forbid.
22:01A Tampax and just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:08What a wonderful idea.
22:09My luck to get chucked down the lavatrons.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top.
22:16Never going down.
22:17Oh, darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:24What sort of box?
22:26A box of Tampax.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38No, I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Night-night, my darling.
22:46I do love you.
22:48Love you, too.
22:52Don't want to say goodbye.
22:54Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14Oh, darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16Oh, God.
23:18So do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:27Night.
23:29Night.
23:30Night.
23:31Love you.
23:33I adore you.
23:36Night.
23:38Night.
23:46Bad hamburgers.
24:00Behind you.
24:06I got comfort.
24:07So do I do my next fight?
24:07How I do, hit my Willy?
24:07Ah, man.
24:09I took them an hour man.
24:14There's uproar in Britain over the publication of the so-called Camillagate tapes.
24:18The phone call allegedly between Prince Charles and a close female friend was taped three years ago.
24:23He will not come back from this. The tapes are filthy.
24:26It's raised doubts over whether the Prince of Wales could ever be king.
24:30Yet another royal scandal making headlines. Yet another bitter blow to a monkeying crisis.
24:36Sally Hinkman, NBC News, London.
24:44Here. I bought you some weapons-grade, entirely chemical cold medication.
24:52I know you're probably taking some sort of root herb.
24:57Garlic, ginger, and elderberry.
25:00I thought I'd bring you something that actually works.
25:06Poor you.
25:11It's an assassination.
25:15Complete decimation of my character and everything I've worked so hard for.
25:22It's no secret, I think, over the years you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself.
25:29But no one deserves this.
25:38It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
25:41It's as if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone.
25:44It's said embarrassing things.
25:47It was all a bit embarrassing, wasn't it?
25:51It was a little gynecological, for my taste.
25:57Well, once I'd taken my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat.
26:02God.
26:03There was a surprising residue left.
26:06It was a little bit of being touched by two teenagers of a certain age being so gloriously human and
26:15entirely in love.
26:23For that alone, you deserve some credit.
26:27In this family especially.
26:30You are sweet.
26:34I doubt our dear Papa will see it that way.
26:45All right.
26:49I'll speak to you tomorrow.
26:58If I weren't so ashamed, I might confess of admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement.
27:04In one fell swoop, you've succeeded in alienating the church over your moral fitness,
27:10the politicians over your conduct unbecoming,
27:13the House of Commons is in uproar.
27:16They're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button.
27:22Among your many entirely unjustified military honors
27:27is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales.
27:31I wonder if you might remind us of their motto.
27:38In English.
27:43Better death than dishonor.
27:45What's that? Speak up.
27:45Better death than dishonor.
27:49A sentiment on which you would do well to reflect.
28:01Are you still here?
28:20It's so painful.
28:23And so public.
28:26It's so unnecessary, too.
28:30Everyone in HQ is frightened, my dear father included.
28:33They don't know how the world has changed.
28:35Everyone's just blaming everyone else.
28:38That's no excuse for gratuitous, sadistic exhibitionism.
28:42Sounds like playground bullying.
28:46The way the sycophants all nodded.
28:50Grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once.
28:55It leaves me no choice but to...
29:02To protect yourself.
29:06To...
29:07Look after yourself.
29:13Yes.
29:15Yes.
29:23Historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened
29:26because nothing official has happened.
29:28But a change is happening.
29:30Sir.
29:31I ask if you look around you, what do you see?
29:32Not old, stuffy courtiers,
29:34but young, professional men and women of today.
29:38The Way Ahead group,
29:39or the lagging behind group, as I like to call them,
29:43was set up to prepare the monarchy for the coming millennium,
29:46but it seems to me they hold some confusion
29:47as to which millennium we're actually in.
29:50I think, as a guiding principle,
29:52if we're interested in saving the monarchy,
29:53we should do the exact opposite of what the Way Ahead group recommends.
29:57I think we all agree,
29:58and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut,
30:01a dangerous rut.
30:02It's vital that people are given a reason to believe in
30:05and be excited about the future.
30:07And if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is,
30:09then the answer is...
30:10is you, sir.
30:11But right now, the problem is no-one knows you.
30:15They don't know who you really are,
30:16nor what you think or feel.
30:17I quite agree.
30:20Well, what should we do about that?
30:23Well, one thought that we had was that, um...
30:27perhaps a mature, progressive, open television special
30:31would be a way to go,
30:32where the Prince of Wales is finally given the opportunity
30:35to freely air his voice.
30:38Alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview,
30:41we could grant cameras,
30:42unprecedented access to a future king at work,
30:45an intimate and authoritative profile
30:49of an enlightened, thoughtful, forward-thinking man
30:53who has been Prince of Wales for a quarter of a century,
30:56and a chance for him to lay out his vision
30:58for a modern monarchy, a modern Britain.
31:01Who are you thinking of as the interviewer?
31:04Well, there are a number of candidates,
31:06but the name we're most excited about is Jonathan Dimbleby.
31:12He's serious, he's forthright, he's independent-minded.
31:15And there's County Durhamby, ideally,
31:18from going from South Jones to...
31:19People will know that it's not puffery
31:22or chocolate-box royalism with Dimbleby.
31:26There is an element of risk.
31:28Which is quite unusual.
31:29He's bound to ask about the marriage at some point.
31:33But in our view,
31:35there's a far greater prospect of reward.
31:50Right, this is it.
31:54How are you?
31:56Sir.
31:57Where do you want me?
31:58What's this again?
31:59Please, please.
32:00Right, please.
32:05Five, four, three...
32:09Your Royal Highness,
32:11it's fair to say that in recent years
32:14the royal family has been plagued
32:16by a certain amount of adversity.
32:19Do you think, with all these setbacks
32:22to your family and to you personally,
32:25that the monarchy can still survive?
32:29Well, more than that,
32:31I hope it can...
32:33can flourish.
32:35But to do so, it needs to adapt.
32:38It's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform.
32:42I think that we're at a make-or-break time for the monarchy,
32:46and we need to be radical.
32:48But of course, there's only so much
32:49that I can do as Prince of Wales.
32:53As king, you will also find yourself
32:55at the head of an established church.
32:57In the past, you have shown an interest in other faiths.
33:00How does that sit with a future role
33:03as supreme governor of the Church of England,
33:06defender of the faith?
33:08Well, of course, I prefer to think of myself
33:10not as a defender of just one faith,
33:13the Church of England,
33:14but as a defender of faith in general.
33:18Why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the crown?
33:22What about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus?
33:26Are they not its subjects as well?
33:28There is, of course, one question above all
33:31that burns in the public's mind,
33:34and that relates to your marriage to the Princess of Wales.
33:37One of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage
33:41is that you were repeatedly unfaithful
33:43and that your close association with Camilla Parker Bowles
33:47was a deciding factor in its collapse.
33:50How do you answer that?
33:55Mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine,
34:00a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to have.
34:04And even within a marriage,
34:06one must still nurture outside friendships.
34:10And Mrs. Parker Bowles is just one of a number of friends
34:15that I've been close to over the years.
34:20When you married your wife,
34:22you made a pledge before God
34:24to uphold your wedding vows.
34:26Did you at least try to be faithful from the start?
34:30Of course.
34:31And were you?
34:32Yes.
34:40Until...
34:45Until it became obvious that...
34:50the marriage couldn't be saved,
34:53both of us having done our best.
34:59At which point I...
35:03tried to do my duty.
35:07But there was...
35:10there was nothing to be done.
35:15So, yes, uh...
35:20old friendships were rekindled.
35:26You've been very forthright in your response,
35:30very honest.
35:31Is it your hope that this issue will now go away?
35:36Well, I'd certainly prefer it.
35:40And it typically stems, I think, from when...
35:44when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal,
35:48as husbands or as wives or as parents.
35:54And very often the truth is very far from that.
35:57The question people have to ask themselves is,
36:00what do they want in their leaders?
36:03Do they want someone who errs but who learns from their mistakes,
36:07who grows, who...
36:09who recognizes the need for change,
36:11who has a vision?
36:13Or someone who...
36:16is content to continue making the same mistakes...
36:20and to keep things as they are?
36:25Really, I think that's the clear choice that, uh...
36:29that people are faced with.
36:32This desire for progression...
36:35extends to many aspects of your works, principles...
36:43Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night
36:46in a television documentary designed to showcase
36:49his work as Prince of Wales.
36:51And he appeared to have no regrets,
36:52as he greeted onlookers today
36:54during his first public appearance
36:56since the programme aired.
37:00His aides were letting it be known
37:02they've been delighted with the response
37:04to his controversial television profile.
37:07Palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support.
37:10The programme contained a number of intimate revelations,
37:14including the Prince's close friendship
37:16with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles.
37:17The admission divided viewers
37:19between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt
37:22to clear the air
37:23and those who felt the Prince had made an error of judgment.
37:27There was no comment from Kensington Palace,
37:30but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband
37:33by attending the Serpentine Gallery's
37:35annual summer party this evening,
37:37putting on a defiant display
37:39in what many are already calling
37:41her revenge dress.
37:50The Prince and Princess remain focused
37:53on their public roles,
37:54but there is little doubt
37:56that the War of the Waleses
37:58has entered a new and more volatile phase.
38:04Camilla!
38:05Camilla!
38:07Camilla!
38:09Camilla!
38:12Camilla!
38:13Camilla!
38:13Camilla!
38:14Camilla!
38:15Camilla!
38:16Camilla!
38:17Camilla!
38:18Camilla!
38:27Camilla!
38:28Camilla!
38:29Camilla!
38:30Camilla!
38:30Camilla!
38:30Camilla!
38:48Reaction to the interview is divided
38:51between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king
38:55and should have had the good grace to stay silent
38:58and those that have been pleasantly surprised by what they saw and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general
39:15to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus,
39:21rather than defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies
39:31that are traditionally left unreached by the monarch.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician,
39:39because the crown itself is a unifying symbol.
39:43It binds together a kingdom of four nations and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:52Charles is frustrated because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate, but there's a danger in that.
40:03One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:22Well, hang on.
40:30You're not eating?
40:33No, you don't have an appetite.
40:36I'm so surprised you do.
40:39Why? It's delicious.
40:43What's all this I hear about a book?
40:47The idea is to do a book following on from the interview,
40:51taking some of the points further.
40:53Why?
40:56Because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say
40:58about education and environment and architecture
41:01got drowned out by all the hoo-ha about adultery.
41:06Also, people are interested.
41:09Maybe you're not as interested as you think.
41:12Maybe more interested than you think.
41:16My postbag is anything to go by.
41:26In the 18th century, it was considered perfectly normal for the Prince of Wales to set up shop at Leicester
41:30House to generate fresh ideas.
41:34A shadow monarchy, in essence. A rival court.
41:37But this is not the 18th century.
41:41And creating rival courts is not what we do in this family.
41:45You close ranks behind the sovereign, not to criticize her.
41:52We're all after the same thing, Anne.
42:01Are you sure you won't have some of this asparagus?
42:04It's fresh from the garden.
42:22Good night.
42:24Thanks for coming.
42:39For years I've doubted Charles.
42:44He wasn't strong enough.
42:49Tough enough.
42:52But look what he's just come through.
42:55First that phone recording.
42:57Subsequent humiliation.
42:59Then that interview and subsequent criticism.
43:03It hasn't broken him.
43:05The opposite.
43:07He might be as mad as everyone thinks.
43:09But he's not as weak as everyone thinks.
43:14Charles I saw today was strong.
43:18Confident.
43:20Mature.
43:23Not only does he have what it takes for the job.
43:25In some ways he's already begun.
43:27What do you mean?
43:30For the past year.
43:31Possibly more.
43:34Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court.
43:38At St. James's.
43:40His own Camelot.
43:43His own advisors.
43:45His own modern progressive agenda.
43:51He knows one day he will be King Charles III.
43:55And if we want to know what that will look and feel like.
44:00He's starting to show us.
44:22He's starting to show us.
44:28He's starting to show us.
44:31Now you may think that someone of my age and background.
44:34Wouldn't understand young people in your communities.
44:37And the unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face.
44:42Well, as it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized.
44:50And judged.
44:51I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
44:57That people out there have no idea who I really am.
45:03How about you?
45:03I'm sure that each of you has something within you.
45:10An unacknowledged greatness.
45:13A talent that deserves to be recognized.
45:18And that's what the Prince's Trust is all about.
45:21To give you the confidence to believe in your ideas.
45:25And the money to bring them to fruition.
45:29I want to reach those that have been overlooked.
45:33Rejected.
45:35To make sure that you've been given a chance.
45:40Because it's only when we risk reaching too far
45:44that we find out how far it's possible to go.
46:14Don't sweat the technique.
46:23Don't sweat the technique.
46:49I made my debut in 86.
46:55With a melody in the president's mix
46:57And I would stay on target and refuse to miss
46:59And I still make hits for beats
47:02Parties, clubs, instantars, and jeeps
47:04My underground sound, I race the streets
47:06MCs wanna beef and I play for keeps
47:08When they sweat the technique
47:18Don't sweat the technique
47:28They wanna know how many times have I ripped the wreck
47:30But researchers never found all the pieces yet
47:33Scientists try to solve the context
47:35Philosophers are wondering what's next
47:37Beacons took the lives to observe them
47:40They couldn't absorb them, they didn't deserve them
47:42My ideas are only for the audience's ears
47:45My opponents, it might take years
47:47Pencils, pens, and scores
47:48Letters put together for my key records
47:50I'm also a sculpture born with structure
47:53Because of my culture, I'ma rip the destructor
47:55We styled out a beat full of technology
47:58Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
48:00You don't have to speak, just see
48:03And peep the technique
48:46I'm gonna pull up your brain
48:52You don't have to speak, you don't have to speak
48:53You don't have to try
