00:10To Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government today is fresh on the pound.
00:20Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:23Damage had been done by the...
00:24Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:25Britain's trade gap is a staggering 107 million pounds.
00:30It's the worst figure on record.
00:31The government said that these figures were distorted and meaningless.
00:39Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:42Good afternoon, Mr. King.
00:45Where is it?
00:47About you.
00:48Tomorrow's front page, sir.
00:50Not strong enough.
00:53It's the strongest headline the Daily Mail has ever written about a Labour leader.
00:56About had guilty conscience. I don't know what it's saying.
01:25It's a sad day when the Daily Mirror, a Labour-supporting newspaper, turns against a Labour leader,
01:29like this.
01:34We've done some thinking and come up with an idea for how to deflect any further criticism.
01:39Yeah, go on.
01:41Lord Mountbatten.
01:45What's he got to do with anything?
01:46I'm sure we all agree that he's a symbol of a bygone era, of privilege and inequality, empire and extravagance.
01:53Not to mention a pompous, bloody arse.
01:55Go on.
01:56As Chief of the Defence Staff, he's refusing to make the defence cuts we need.
02:01Cuts which you promised in your election manifesto.
02:05One might even tolerate it if he weren't so...
02:08vain or crooked or power-mad.
02:12Quite.
02:14What are you proposing?
02:16That we kick him out.
02:20But at least he's busy.
02:22And inside the tent...
02:24You know, people like Mountbatten.
02:26Medallists, for want of a kind of word.
02:28Energetic, well-connected medallists.
02:29It's better that they're inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.
02:33But he belongs to another time, Harold.
02:37Kicking him out makes economic sense and shows we're tough.
02:41And who knows?
02:42It might just buy us some good headlines.
02:47Yes, I could do with some good headlines.
02:52General salute.
02:55Pre-set.
02:58Out.
02:59Out.
03:02Out.
03:10Out.
04:28As Chief of the Defence Staff, you will be aware that the Treasury has been conducting a wide-ranging review
04:35of defence spending.
04:37I've seen that before you go any further.
04:39The cuts you propose would leave us hopelessly vulnerable and weak, especially east of Suez.
04:45Now, are our enemies cutting back on military spending?
04:48No.
04:49They're increasing fivefold, tenfold.
04:52And the conclusion of the review is that we'd like to make a few changes, one of which is to
04:58your post of Chief of the Defence Staff.
05:08You're kicking me out?
05:12Well, no, sir.
05:13I'm thanking you on behalf of the government, on behalf of the armed forces, on behalf of the whole country
05:18for your many years of remarkable service.
05:23You are.
05:24You're kicking me out.
05:28Well, there we are.
05:35There we are.
05:37There we are.
06:00It's absurd.
06:03It's absurd.
06:34But where one door closes, another opens.
06:41There is special providence in such a fall.
06:45If it be now, it is not to come.
06:46If it be not to come, it will be now.
06:49If it be not now, yet it will come.
06:52The readiness is all.
07:09What am I going to do, Barrett?
07:12You'll bounce back, sir.
07:14Before long, you'll have a hundred projects.
07:21Cake, sir.
07:31Hip, hip, hooray!
07:34Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
07:45Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne.
07:56For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne.
08:05We'll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.
08:16We, too, have run about the hills and pulled the daisies by.
08:25For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne.
08:39We, too, have run about the hills.
09:06Let's go home, son.
10:09Pens down, you may have to see.
10:15Ten minutes from Newmarket.
10:48Thank you, Cecil. How is he?
10:50As good as new again.
10:55And you really think he's recovered from his injury?
10:58Oh, I do, ma'am.
11:00Gilded, fired, well-rusted.
11:02We won't have him breaking down on us again.
11:06Any chance of seeing him on the gallops today?
11:09Oh, no, ma'am. It's too wet and muddy out there.
11:13It's been a lot like this.
11:15Hardly been able to train him at all.
11:18Well, we can't do anything about the weather.
11:23Now we come to the most anticipated race
11:25of this year's Royal Ascot meeting,
11:27the Queen Alexandra Stakes.
11:30This is Britain's longest flat race,
11:32where stamina is of the essence.
11:33And the favourite is, of course, number nine.
11:36Her Majesty's own horse, Apprentice.
11:39And they're off.
11:40With number six, Panic's in the early lead,
11:43followed by number one, Valentine's Day,
11:44with number two Olympic boy cleaning right down their necks.
11:47They're off the pace now as they make their start.
11:51Behind the number ten of the and as far off the leaders,
11:54but number nine, Apprentice, tails behind in fitting place.
11:58A disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire Club champion.
12:02And planning still ahead, but behind him, Apprentice is gaining crowns.
12:06He got the challenge from number seven by leaving and pulling it to four.
12:30And now it's the home street, and Apprentice is charging down the near side.
12:37Nearly, nearly, nearly.
12:41No, he hasn't got it.
12:42No.
12:42Apprentice is starting to struggle.
12:44Panic is holding on, he's holding his lead,
12:46and Apprentice is falling behind as Valentine's Day falls back in second.
12:49Olympic boy coming up from the rear, and it's a busy finish,
12:52but number six Panic finishes first,
12:55and they're close for you by number two.
12:58What are you doing wrong in Portugal?
13:00He used to be at the top.
13:02Now he barely competes.
13:04It's possible that the system set up by your late father
13:08is now a little...
13:10Obsolete.
13:12And might need...
13:14Kicking out, throwing on the dust heap.
13:19If you want to keep up with the Aga Khan's of this world,
13:22I would suggest you follow their lead.
13:26And do what?
13:28Travel around the world, and catch up with all the latest developments.
13:31I can't just do that.
13:32In case you haven't noticed, I have a job to do with you.
13:36It would only be France, not Timbuktu.
13:39There are experienced people who are able to deputise for you in your absence.
13:53As you know, this government is committed to maintaining sterling at $2.80 to the pound.
13:58But with every economic blow, the oil embargo, the balance of payments deficit,
14:04and the Dockers Union strike, it's proving harder and harder to maintain.
14:23And I'm afraid that now we have no alternative but to devalue the pound.
14:29Oh.
14:31And I need hardly say it is a matter of overwhelming regret.
14:36For me personally.
14:39And a humiliation for the government.
14:44It feels like a bad time to say that I won't be here for our meeting next week.
14:49Perhaps the next two weeks.
14:51But Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, will step in as Councillor of State.
14:55Oh.
14:56A role she's executed many times.
15:06Your Majesty.
15:24Good evening.
15:27A few days ago, the cabinet took its unanimous decision to devalue the pound.
15:33I can now tell you why we have taken this action, and more importantly, what it will mean for you.
15:40From now on, the pound abroad will be worth 14% or so less in terms of other currencies.
15:47Now, this does not mean, of course, that the pound here in Britain, in your pocket or your purse or
15:52your bank, has been devalued.
15:53What it does mean is that the goods we buy from abroad will be dearer.
15:59So for many goods, it will be cheaper to buy British.
16:04For this devaluation has been a hard decision, and some of its consequences will be hard for a time.
16:14For three years, this government has fought, as it was our duty to fight, the burden of the deficit that
16:21the previous government left us with.
16:23But now is not the time to triple blame.
16:27Now is our chance to break free from that straitjacket.
16:30Seize this opportunity with both hands.
16:34This is a proud nation.
16:36We're out on our own now.
16:40Now, we must choose to put Britain first.
17:06Tonight, we veterans of the Burma campaign are gathered here to renew old comradeships.
17:14And to remember fallen brothers at Yang Gang Yong and Ryan Gooden.
17:21Do you remember how it was fought?
17:23The old way?
17:25The honorable way?
17:27Body to body, bayonet to bayonet.
17:32And that swift, exhilarating sweep of victory that carried us over the Irrawaddy and in the Mandalay.
17:40And there we met the Japanese army.
17:44And we tore it apart.
17:49Yes, gentlemen.
17:50We military men will always have our past glories to look back on.
17:56But what of this new generation?
17:59These young men and women for whom some of the best of us gave our lives.
18:04Decline.
18:07Irrelevance.
18:07And the devaluation of pound sterling.
18:11That is the sunless future that faces them.
18:15For them, the white heat of revolution is not a forging heat.
18:21It is a melting heat.
18:23It melts the silver of our battle honors.
18:26And reduces to cinders the very foundation of our economy.
18:30Our currency.
18:36So, if the only glories available to this nation are its past glories, then let us cherish them now.
18:50Come you back, you British soldier.
18:53Come you back.
18:57Who will join me?
19:01Ship me somewhere east of Suez, where the best is like the worst, where there are no ten commandments, and
19:11a man can raise a thirst.
19:13For the temple bells are calling, and it's there that I would be, by the old Momine Pagoda, looking lazy
19:24at the sea.
19:26On the road to Mandalay.
19:30Where old Fertile?
19:32Where thou sick beneath the orange?
19:36Where we went, when we went to Mandalay.
19:40On the road to Mandalay.
19:43Where the flying faces lay.
19:47And the door comes up like thunder.
19:51Out of China.
19:53Of course, today.
19:54Amen.
19:55Amen.
19:56Amen.
19:56Amen.
19:58Amen.
20:00Amen.
20:24Lord Mountbatten.
20:25Excuse me.
20:27Cecil King.
20:28I hope to talk to you, sir, to express my sympathy at the way you've been treated by the government.
20:33A shameful piece of political grandstanding and opportunism.
20:37Amen.
20:38You're very kind.
20:39Well, this country needs great men more than ever to restore confidence, inspire us, and perhaps even lead us out
20:46of the mire.
20:48It must have been made very clear to me that my leadership days are over.
20:52My colleagues and I don't believe that, sir.
20:55Not for a minute.
20:57As a matter of fact, we'd be delighted if you'd agree to have lunch with us at Threadneedle Street one
21:02day.
21:03Bank of England?
21:04We've been working on a proposal which we'd very much like to put to you.
21:13Sir.
21:39Thank you, Mr. Ed.
21:41But there's no need for such formalities.
21:44In the world of conservation, it's you who are the king.
21:47You're very kind, Mrs. And very indulgent.
21:50I hope you're going to be afraid.
21:53Here, here.
21:54Hello.
21:55Hello.
21:57Hello.
22:01And of course, it was the Manin Commissage who came out of the Bidangard, the magnificent Speyer.
22:07Oh.
22:08It was Grand Sile, White Settler.
22:10Oh, that's right.
22:11We had a tremendous success with it.
22:13Yes.
22:14I'm a big wonderful sprinter.
22:16These are all stud books.
22:17Indeed, ma'am.
22:18And I think you will find some very familiar names in there.
22:22Yes, I guess I will.
22:24If I'm not mistaken, this one.
22:27Oh, gosh, yes.
22:28My grandfather's one of his favorites.
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Yes, I'd say so.
22:35Nice temperament.
22:36Warm-blooded.
22:37Not too skittish.
22:38Indeed.
22:39Look at her hocks.
22:41Oh, yes.
22:41Very well, proportionate.
22:43Excellent line to the back.
22:44Yes.
22:46Mayor.
22:55It was extraordinary.
22:57Not just their facilities, their entire attitude to breeding, but the fact they keep their foes
23:02and their yearlings so close.
23:04Merci.
23:05While we send ours off to graze in Ireland.
23:09Tell me honestly.
23:11Is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet, ma'am.
23:16But if you want to keep up, you do need to act decisively now.
23:20It'd mean rethinking the operation from top to toe, changing the personnel, changing the approach.
23:26Yes.
23:27And currently there is a drain of the best British racehorses to America.
23:31You have to ask yourself, why?
23:35You don't think I should go there, too?
23:37Well, obviously, from a racing perspective, it would be ideal.
23:40Just for a day or two.
23:42But, er, won't you be needed at home?
23:46Well, they've always got mummy.
23:48Me being away is good for her.
23:50She hates feeling old and superannuated and surplus to requirements.
23:54I'm sure she's relishing being the big chief again.
24:12Thank you, sir.
24:16Mr. King, welcome back.
24:20The Great Britain of our childhood is dying before us.
24:25The country is bankrupt.
24:27Our national security is in tatters.
24:29Our allies are in despair.
24:30And on our current trajectory, by 1970, we will be a vassal state.
24:37A pariah.
24:39I don't know about you, sir, but I'd sooner die than stand idly by and watch this happen.
24:44And to that end, my associates and I have come up with a plan to put the country back on
24:51track.
24:52Which is?
24:55Replacing the prime minister and installing a new emergency government.
25:01What?
25:02And in his place, we would need to install an inspirational figurehead.
25:07Someone who could unite the nation, command its respect.
25:11Someone who had stepped into a national leadership role before.
25:15Now, there are some obvious candidates, but frankly, none would be as good as you, sir.
25:19No, no, no.
25:20This is quite unthinkable.
25:22At this point, I should close my ears.
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations regarding our prime minister,
25:32what you're talking about is effectively a coup.
25:35And I can have nothing whatsoever to do with it.
25:38In peacetime, it's true.
25:40An intervention like this would be unconstitutional.
25:44But we believe this is no longer peacetime.
25:49And the circumstances are unprecedented and quite exceptional.
25:55Gerald.
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy,
26:00Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan.
26:05Plan Brutus.
26:07Which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers,
26:11freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments,
26:13and enforce crash cuts in defense spending.
26:17Bankers cannot be allowed to run the show.
26:20The Bank of England has known about gold pouring out of the country since Monday
26:25and has done nothing to stop it.
26:27What is our response?
26:28The imposition of exchange controls,
26:31the crash cuts in defense expenditure,
26:33and the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas securities.
26:38Show of hands.
26:43It is an effective declaration of war.
26:47Freedom, democracy, and capitalism.
26:51We must act now.
26:54Not just to save Britain, but the world.
26:57We are proposing a radical revolution led by bankers,
27:01businessmen, and the armed forces.
27:03Professionals who can save us from amateurism,
27:05incompetence, and Russian infiltration.
27:09And as our interim leader,
27:12we can think of no one better than you, sir.
27:27This is all very interesting.
27:34May I suggest that we meet again?
27:38In 48 hours.
27:42Sorry.
27:51With the pound down and the rest later,
27:54I suppose that sums it up.
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back.
27:59Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal
28:01of government policy after three years of devaluation and denial.
28:05Move, move, move!
28:06Move, move, move, move!
28:08Outside 10 Downing Street, protesters gathered.
28:11There's a reality of one of devalued pounds.
28:30Welcome to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, you imagine.
28:32Thank you, Mr. Hancock.
28:34Please, call me Paul.
28:36Sorry we don't have better weather for you.
28:37It's quite all right.
28:38We like a good water.
28:39Paul Hancock.
28:40Pleasure to be here.
28:41Your shopping basket will hold less for the same money.
28:44A lot of imported food stamps will cost more.
28:47Around 7 to 5, 4, 4 feet.
28:52On Monday, after the announcement, the stock exchange was empty.
28:55There was no training.
28:57Outside in Tron Martin Street, brokers and drummers crowd in together to try and sort out what the
29:02drop is going on.
29:05Good morning, boys.
29:06Good morning, sir.
29:07Good morning, Mr. Hancock.
29:09They're testing for minerals.
29:10Sulfur, calcium.
29:12Correct nutrition is vital, ma'am.
29:14When it comes to the bone strength and bone formation in the folds we raised.
29:18Yes, sir.
29:19Tommy's one of the best.
29:20Thank you, sir.
29:21Does Tommy ever come to England?
29:22Oh, no, no, no.
29:24Oh.
29:25Harris worked up to find the transfers on the brink of civil war.
29:28With the rebel generals in Algeria sent paratroopers, defense measures were quickly put into
29:34operation.
29:38All the airports were closed to flights in and out.
29:41Nobody in the capital knew the rebel's intentions, but plastic bomb outrages here and elsewhere showed
29:46that pro-rebel sympathizers were on the power.
29:50They struck in the garden of the old railway terminus and at the Osterman station, not
29:54with any serious debate.
29:56These are veterinary students we've invited to spend time here at the farm.
30:00They learned reproductive management, neonatal and foal management, herd health management.
30:06What we're aiming for is better integration between our practices here at the stud and the
30:10clinical research being conducted in the wider world.
30:16Remind me of the year, Porchy.
30:18What, 1967?
30:19Why?
30:20Because having seen what I've just seen, one might think it 2067.
30:24In terms of technology and their management of the pasture and their willingness to embrace
30:29new ideas.
30:30The Americans aren't just on a different level.
30:32They're on a different planet.
30:34And their racing manager, wasn't he impressive?
30:37When you think about Cecil by comparison.
30:38Yes, he is getting on there.
30:41Hmm, 150?
30:42Well, not quite that, but certainly 80.
30:4540-year-old Cecil.
30:46The Van Hur of Newmarket.
30:49But he had such success with your father.
30:51And grandfather.
30:52You know he was wounded at the Somme.
30:54Yes.
30:55So, probably time for someone a little bit younger.
30:58The question is, who is there?
31:01What about Gordon Richards?
31:03He's with the wine stocks.
31:05They've never let him go.
31:07Or with David McCall.
31:09Hmm.
31:11He's good.
31:13But can you honestly see him fitting in?
31:16No.
31:16Buy that.
31:17Oh.
31:29Would you ever consider it?
31:32Me?
31:33Why not?
31:35You're brilliant.
31:36And you know the family inside out.
31:38Well, I'm honored.
31:41But I'm also very ambitious.
31:45I could never accept unless I felt sure we had every chance of success at the highest level.
31:51And in terms of our research, there's still one thing that we really need to see.
31:56What?
31:57They're training facilities.
31:59But if we're going to gain the edge, there's still a lot to learn from the Americans.
32:04Portie, how much longer is that going to take?
32:07Well.
32:12Yes, please.
32:13My first call, we've seen him at that high.
32:40Gentlemen,
32:43In the past decade alone, there have, by my reckoning, been 73 coups in 46 different countries around the world.
32:52And the success of some of these might encourage us.
32:58In Ghana, two years ago, President Nkrumah was ousted with just 500 men.
33:03And in 1961, in South Korea, Major General Park Chung-hee seized power with 3,500 men.
33:13And in 1964, in Gabon, just 150 men were able to arrest President Nkrumah and thus gain control over the
33:23levers of state power.
33:26And of course, it was with just one legion that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
33:31Well, perhaps we would not seek to follow his fate, a six-semper tyrannis gentleman.
33:38Now, what all successful insurgencies have in common are five key elements.
33:45Control of the media, control of the economy, and the capture of administrative targets,
33:51for which you need the fourth element, the loyalty of the military.
33:56Now, in Ghana and Gabon, this can be achieved with a handful of battalions.
34:01But here, in the United Kingdom,
34:05we would need to secure Parliament,
34:09Whitehall,
34:10Ministry of Defence,
34:12and the Cabinet Office.
34:13The Prime Minister will be arrested, of course,
34:16along with other politicians still loyal.
34:18We would have to shut down the airports, air traffic control.
34:22Same with the train stations.
34:24Curfews will be put in place.
34:26Martial law declared.
34:28And I haven't even mentioned the police.
34:32It would take tens of thousands of unquestioningly loyal servicemen.
34:37And even in my heyday,
34:38I could never command that.
34:41Which brings me to the fifth element.
34:45Legitimacy.
34:47Now, our government draws its strength from long-established institutions that support it.
34:53The courts.
34:55Body of common law.
34:56The Constitution.
34:59For any action against the state to succeed,
35:01you'd have to overthrow these as well.
35:03But in a highly evolved democracy, such as ours,
35:08their authority is sacrosanct.
35:12Which is why, gentlemen,
35:15a coup d'etat in the United Kingdom
35:18doesn't stand a chance.
35:29Unless...
35:31Unless...
35:34Unless we have the support of the one person not yet mentioned.
35:39Do you see the temperament?
35:41Yeah, we like that.
35:42The Crown has at its disposal
35:45unique constitutional powers,
35:48which could still make something like this possible.
35:52In 1834, William IV used them to dismiss his government
35:55in the face of opposition from the House.
35:58And in 1920, the Emergency Powers Act was passed,
36:03which gives the sovereign power in certain circumstances
36:06to declare a state of emergency by proclamation.
36:10Meaning, our queen could dissolve parliament
36:13and appoint a new government and appoint a new government and a prime minister as well.
36:18She's also a commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
36:21They swear allegiance to her and not to parliament,
36:25so it could count on their support to see it through.
36:38And do you think she might entertain this idea?
36:42The circumstances are certainly compelling.
36:45I've made a list here of exactly how compelling.
36:49And as her second cousin, I am in an ideal position to ask.
37:04Not hungry?
37:05No.
37:10Somehow, today has managed to be one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
37:15And at the same time, one of the most depressing.
37:21The telephone call for you, ma'am, Lord Mambatton?
37:24I'll call him back.
37:33If I tell you something, do you promise it will stay between us?
37:36Of course.
37:40This is how I'd like to spend all my time.
37:45Owning horses, breeding horses, racing horses.
37:48It's what makes me truly happy.
37:53And I actually think it's what I was born to do until the other thing came along.
37:58That someone else was born to do.
38:00That they elected not to do.
38:02Which meant that first my father and then I had to do a job we were never meant to do.
38:08Well, you've managed to make it look like the other thing is the only thing you were ever meant to
38:13do.
38:16Well, kind.
38:18But it isn't.
38:34And on days like today, in places like this.
38:43You get a glimpse of what it all might have been like.
38:48The unlived life.
38:52And how much happier it might have made me.
39:02Not now!
39:07Who did? I just sniffed.
39:08Slightly.
39:09I shall have to grovel now.
39:10No, it's all right. He'll understand.
39:13I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
39:15Yes, all right. I'm coming.
39:16Honestly, only Dickie.
39:25Yes, thank you, Master. I'll talk to you.
39:47Majesty.
39:54You are persistent. Is it really so important?
39:59Yes, Your Majesty.
40:01Prime Minister.
40:05Ma'am, I have reason to believe there is currently a full-blown plot developing against me
40:12and the democratically elected Labour government that governs in your name,
40:17being led by a senior member of your family.
40:21Who?
40:25Lord Mountbatten.
40:26And that he, in cahoots with Cecil King, the chairman of the Mirror Group newspapers,
40:32has been attempting to overthrow this government.
40:38Now, I feel compelled to remind Your Majesty that tolerance of the Royal Family is hanging by a thread as
40:44it is.
40:47Now, throughout my time in office, I have done my level best to protect you.
40:54But if members of the Royal Family were to interfere with the political business of the day,
41:00I would be left with no option but to side with the Republican elements of my cabinet,
41:06which I have successfully controlled until now,
41:11and take steps.
41:16Leave it with me, Prime Minister.
41:20Your Majesty.
41:47Keep seeing me.
41:49I love you.
42:15Drink up, Portie.
42:17We're getting home.
42:21We're getting home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:09Your Majesty.
43:17You asked to see me.
43:19I did.
43:21Well, great minds think alike.
43:23As it happens, I was planning to drop by myself.
43:28On a matter of great importance.
43:41I'm getting a feeling that I've not had since Dieppe.
43:46That I'm walking into a trap.
43:50I'd like to think you had that sinking feeling on another occasion recently.
43:55When going to see your friends at the Bank of England.
43:59Is it even true?
44:02Yes, I did go to lunch at the Bank of England.
44:05To meet and listen to people who are horrified by what's happening to the country.
44:10A horror I hope you share.
44:13Perhaps.
44:14But conspiring with them is not the solution.
44:17It is the beginning of a solution.
44:18It is the beginning of a solution.
44:21Why are you doing this?
44:22Why would you protect a man like Wilson?
44:33I am protecting the Prime Minister.
44:37I am protecting the Constitution.
44:40I am protecting democracy.
44:44But if the man of the heart of that democracy threatens to destroy it,
44:48are we supposed to just stand by and do nothing?
44:51Yes.
44:52Doing nothing is exactly what we do.
44:54And bide our time.
44:56And wait for the people that voted him in to vote him out again.
44:59If indeed that is what they decide to do.
45:21I am sure you find it near impossible to do nothing.
45:24And to not have the role and the responsibilities you have always had.
45:29You were born to be busy.
45:30And to lead.
45:32But you still have a huge role to play in this family.
45:37A father figure to my husband.
45:40An uncle and a guide to me.
45:43A king to make in Charles.
45:45Not to mention a brother to your sister.
45:49When was the last time you even visited her?
45:52Cheered her up?
46:00That would be a greater service to the Crown than leading unconstitutional coups.
46:05It would be a great service to the Paul.
46:08A man, an uncle and a dad was...
46:13He is the one who is the son of the Lord.
46:24And a man, an uncle's house.
46:27He is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one.
46:27Yeah, he was the mother.
46:27He is the one who is the one who is the three.
46:47I don't know.
47:10Nice of you to find the time.
47:12These days, I've nothing but time.
47:16And too little time.
47:30The four of us.
47:32What?
47:33The four of us.
47:37Look at us now.
47:40Only two left.
47:42You're left.
47:44Not me.
47:45I'm on the way out.
47:47Nonsense.
47:49There came a moment around the time I turned 70, when it dawned on me that I was no longer
47:57a participant, rather a spectator.
48:01I've discovered that for myself.
48:04Then it's just a matter of waiting and not getting in the way.
48:20Now, I hear you have been getting in the way.
48:23I told you that.
48:25I told you that.
48:26There are no secrets in this place.
48:28So, did you get a dressing down from our douty queen?
48:34Yes, I did.
48:38What's so funny?
48:40Well, that's funny.
48:42The little girl
48:44admonishing the grand old
48:46Admiral of the fleet.
48:47Well, I'm glad it amuses you.
48:49Because the situation this country is
48:52facing is anything but amusing.
48:57Oh, who cares?
49:01Honestly.
49:04One of the few joys
49:06of being as old as we both
49:08are is that
49:10it's not our problem.
49:12Not really our country
49:14either. What are you talking about?
49:16Of course it's our country.
49:18We Battenbergs
49:20have no country.
49:23Our
49:24family might have kings and queens
49:26in its ranks,
49:27but we're mongrels too.
49:32Part German,
49:33part Greek,
49:34part nowhere at all.
49:37Well,
49:39this is my country.
49:43Gave me a home,
49:44gave me a name.
49:47And in return I've given it my life.
49:56And to see it like this breaks my heart.
50:08In the end,
50:10I'm so sorry.
50:11I think
50:12I'm sorry.
50:15You're right.
50:18I'm sorry.
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice.
50:51Nowhere at all.
51:23Nowhere at all.
51:26Nowhere at all.
51:38Nowhere at all.
51:40Nowhere at all.
51:51Nowhere at all.
51:53Nowhere at all.
52:34Nowhere at all.
53:02Nowhere at all.
53:05Nowhere at all.
53:06Good luck.
53:07Good for you.
53:08Good for all of us.
53:17Good for you.
53:19Good for you.
53:29Good for you.
53:31Good for you.
53:49Good for you.
53:52Good for you.
53:53Good for you.
54:21Good for you.
54:23Good for you.
54:48Good for you.
54:49Good for you.
54:55Good for you.
55:02Good for you.
55:04Good for you.
55:06Good for you.
55:06Good for you.
55:09Good for you.
55:12Good for you.
