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.
03:16Out.
04:48Oh, they'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 Defense Staff.
05:02What?
05:08You 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.
06:29It'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.
07:20Cake, sir.
07:31Hit, hit, hooray!
07:34Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
07:45Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne.
07:55For old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne.
08:05We'll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.
08:16We, too, have brought up out the hills and pulled the daisies by.
08:25For old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne, my dear, for old lang syne.
09:05I'll go home, sir.
09:49I'll go home, sir.
09:56Yes, of course.
09:58I think there's a picture.
10:00You don't need to worry about the stairs.
10:09Pen's down, you must see.
10:15Ten minutes from Newmarket.
10:16I'm going to fly.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:48Thank you, Cecil.
10:49How is he?
10:50As good as new again.
10:55And do you really think he's recovered from his injury?
10:58Oh, I do, ma'am.
11:00Gelded, 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.
11:10It'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 of this year's Royal Ascot meeting, the Queen
11:28Alexandra Stakes.
11:30This is Britain's longest flat race, where stamina is of the essence.
11:34And the favorite is, of course, number nine, Her Majesty's own horse, Apprentice.
11:39And they're off.
11:40With number six, Panic's in the early lead, followed by number one, Valentine's Day, with
11:44number two, Olympic boy, leaning right down their necks.
11:47They're off the pace now as they make their start.
11:51Behind the number ten, Obi-Anderson, far off the leaders, but number nine, Apprentice,
11:55tails behind in fifth place.
11:58A disappointing start for last year's Yorkshire Club champion.
12:02And Panic's still ahead, but behind him, Apprentice is gaining crowns.
12:06He's got the challenge from number seven, five even, and pulling it to four.
12:10Majesty, Majesty.
12:12Dicky, darling.
12:14Chin up, vodka.
12:16Apprentice really has the look of eagles as they make the turn.
12:18And yes, Apprentice turns up the pressure on Olympic boys.
12:21He moves into third place.
12:22And in what is a fantastic recovery from a slow start, Apprentice is now leveled with number
12:26two Olympic boys as they race uphill.
12:28And as they come up to the final turn, Panic leads my length of the half, but Apprentice
12:32is coming through with a challenge.
12:34And now it's the home street, and Apprentice is charging down for the assigned, picking me
12:37nearly, nearly, nearly.
12:41No, he hasn't got it.
12:42So, Apprentice is starting to struggle.
12:44Panic is holding on, he's holding his lead, and Apprentice is falling behind as Valentine's
12:48Day falls back in second.
12:49Olympic boy coming up from the rear, and it's a busy finish, but number six, Panic finishes
12:54first, and there goes Paul in line, number two, Olympic boy.
12:58What are you doing wrong with Paul?
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 is now a little...
13:10Obsolete.
13:12And might need, uh...
13:14Kicking up, throwing on the dust heap.
13:19If you want to keep up with the Aga Khan's of this world, I would suggest you follow their
13:25lead.
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.
13:38Not 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, and the Dockers'
14:05Union 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 devalue.
15:54What 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.
16:04Well, 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 trip to 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.
16:37We'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 and to remember fallen brothers at
17:18Yang Gang Yong and Rangoon.
17:21We remember how it was fought, the old way, the honourable way, body to body, bayonet to bayonet.
17:32And that swift, exhilarating sweep of victory that carried us over the Irrawaddy and into Mandalay.
17:40And there we met the Japanese army.
17:43And we tore it apart.
17:49Yes, gentlemen, we 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.
18:05Decline.
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 on us.
18:26And reduces to cinders the very foundation of our economy, our currency.
18:36So, if the only glories available to this nation are its past glories,
18:44then 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.
19:08Where there are no ten commandments, and a man can raise a thirst.
19:14For the temple bells are calling, and it's there that I would be.
19:19By the old Moomine Pagoda, looking lazy at the sea.
19:26On the road to Mandalay, where the old Fertilei,
19:33With us sick beneath the orange, when we went to Mandalay.
19:40On the road to Mandalay, where the flying face is like,
19:46And the door comes up like thunder,
19:51Out of China, coast of Maine.
20:24Not my matter.
20:25Excuse me.
20:26Cecil 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.
20:37You'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, not 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.
21:13So.
21:13Bank of England?
21:39Thank you, Mr. Ed, but there is no need for such formalities.
21:44In the world of farming, it is you who are the roi.
21:47You are very gentle, madame, and indulgent.
21:50I doubt that you will be flat.
21:53All right. All right.
21:55Allons-y.
21:57Bonjour.
22:01And, of course, it was Manin Commissage who came out of Bidangin, a magnificent taxpayer.
22:07Oh, and his grandchild, a white settler.
22:10Oh, that's right. You had a tremendous success with it.
22:13Yes, I'm a big wonderful sprinter.
22:16Are these your stud books?
22:17Indeed, ma'am. And I think you will find some very familiar names in them.
22:22Yes, I guess I will.
22:24If I'm not mistaken, this one.
22:27Oh, gosh, yes. My grandfather's one of his favorites.
22:32What would you say, six months?
22:33Hmm, yes, I'd say so.
22:35Nice temperament, warm-blooded, not too skittish.
22:38Indeed.
22:39Look at her hocks.
22:41Oh, yes.
22:42Very well, proportionate.
22:43Excellent line to the back.
22:44Yes.
22:46Come here.
22:55It was extraordinary.
22:57Not just their facilities, their entire attitude of breeding, but the fact they keep their fells and their yearlings so
23:03close.
23:04Yes.
23:05While we send ours off to greys in Ireland.
23:09Tell me honestly, is it over?
23:12Have we slipped too far behind?
23:14Not yet, ma'am.
23:15But, 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?
24:20The Great Britain of our childhood is dying before us.
24:25The country is bankrupt, our national security is in tatters, our allies are in despair.
24:31And, 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. This is quite unthinkable.
25:22At this point, I should close my ears.
25:28Despite my own very profound reservations regarding our Prime Minister, what 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, an intervention like this would be unconstitutional.
25:45But we believe this is no longer peacetime.
25:49And the circumstances are unprecedented and quite exceptional.
25:56Gerald.
25:58In order to hijack control of the economy, Wilson and his socialist colleagues have devised a plan.
26:05Plan Brutus, which would strip the Bank of England of all its powers,
26:10freeze the sterling balances of foreign governments,
26:14and enforce crash cuts in defence spending.
26:18Bankers cannot be allowed to run the show.
26:20The Bank of England has known about gold pouring out of the country since Monday and has done nothing to
26:26stop it.
26:27What is our response?
26:28The imposition of exchange controls, the crash cuts in defence expenditure, and the compulsory acquisition of all privately held overseas
26:37securities.
26:38Sure of hands.
26:43It is an effective declaration of war.
26:47On freedom, 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, businessmen and the armed forces.
27:03Professionals who can save us from amateurism, incompetence and Russian infiltration.
27:09And as our interim leader, we 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, I suppose that sums it up.
27:55Evaluation of a gigantic loan that we all have to pay back.
27:58Britain now finds itself looking at a complete reversal of government policy after three years of devaluation and denials.
28:08Outside 10 Downing Street, protesters gathered.
28:11Is the reality of what a devalued pound...
28:31...the stamp価 can take place in Trent.
28:33Better than us to put the ammo in the US, would we have to repeat that?
28:33Thank you, Mr. Hancock.
28:34Please, call me, Bull.
28:35I'm sorry we don't have better weather for you.
28:37It's quite all right.
28:38Don't you like a good war treat?
28:39Bull 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 cast more.
28:47Surround settles are found for off the feet.
28:52On Monday after the announcement, the stock exchange was empty.
28:55There was no training.
28:57Outside in Tron Morton Street, brokers and jobbers crowd in together to try and sort out what the drop is...
29:05Morning, boy.
29:06Morning, sir.
29:07Morning, sir.
29:07Morning, Mr. Hancock.
29:08They're testing for minerals.
29:10Sulfur, calcium.
29:12Correct nutrition is vital, ma'am.
29:14When it comes to the bone strength, the bone formation in the folds were raised.
29:18Yes, sir.
29:19Tommy's one of the best.
29:21Thanks, 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.
29:29Would the rebel generals in Algeria send paratroopers?
29:32Defense measures were quickly put into operation.
29:38All the airports were closed to flights in and out.
29:41Nobody in the capital knew the rebels' intentions, but frantic bomb outranges here and elsewhere showed that pro-rebel sympathizers
29:48were on the power.
29:50They struck in the garden of the old railway terminus and at the Osterman station.
29:54Not with 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 clinical research being conducted
30:12in the wider world.
30:16Remind me of the year, Porche.
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 new ideas.
30:30The Americans aren't just on a different level, they'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 now.
30:41150?
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?
31:04He's with the wine stocks, they've never let him go.
31:07All with David McCall.
31:09Mm.
31:11He's good.
31:13Can you honestly see him fitting in?
31:16No.
31:16Try that.
31:29Would you ever consider it?
31:32Me?
31:33Why not?
31:34You're brilliant.
31:36And you know the family inside out.
31:39I'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.
31:59If we're going to gain the edge, there's still a lot to learn from the Americans.
32:04Unfortunately, how much longer is that going to take?
32:08Well...
32:09Well, it's not going to take a lot to do so.
32:13Well, I'm sorry.
32:16Now, how long is it?
32:29I can't wait for a long time.
32:41Gentlemen, in the past decade alone, there have, by my reckoning, been 73 coups in 46
32:50different countries around the world, and the success of some of these might encourage
32:56us. In Ghana, two years ago, President Nkrumah was ousted with just 500 men, and in 1961,
33:05in South Korea, Major General Park Chung-hee seized power with 3,500 men. And in 1964, in Gabon,
33:17just 150 men were able to arrest President Nkrumah and thus gain control over the levers
33:24of state power. And, of course, it was with just one legion that Caesar crossed the Rubicon.
33:31And 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. Control of the
33:46media, control of the economy, and the capture of administrative targets, for which you need
33:52the fourth element, the loyalty of the military. Now, in Ghana and Gabon, this can be achieved
33:59with a handful of battalions. But here, in the United Kingdom, we would need to secure Parliament,
34:09Whitehall, Ministry of Defence, and the Cabinet Office. Prime Minister will be arrested, of course,
34:16along with other politicians, still loyal. We would have to shut down the airports, air traffic control,
34:22same with the train stations. Curfews will be put in place, martial law declared. And I haven't even
34:29mentioned the police. It would take tens of thousands of unquestioningly loyal servicemen.
34:36And even in my heyday, I could never command that. Which brings me to the fifth element,
34:45legitimacy. Now, our government draws its strength from long-established institutions that support it.
34:53The courts, body of common law, the Constitution. For any action against the state to succeed,
35:01you'd have to overthrow these as well. But in a highly evolved democracy, such as ours,
35:08their authority is sacrosanct. Which is why, gentlemen, a coup d'etat in the United Kingdom
35:19doesn't stand a chance.
35:28Unless. Unless. Unless. Unless. Unless we have the support of the one person not yet mentioned.
35:39Do you see the temper?
35:42The crown has at its disposal unique constitutional powers, which could still make something like this
35:50possible. In 1834, William IV used them to dismiss his government in the face of opposition from the
35:57House. And in 1920, the Emergency Powers Act was passed, which gives the sovereign power in certain
36:05circumstances to declare a state of emergency by proclamation. Meaning, our queen could dissolve
36:13parliament. And appoint a new government. And a prime minister as well. She's also a commander-in-chief
36:20of the armed forces. They swear allegiance to her, and not to parliament. So, could count on their support to
36:27see it through.
36:38And you think she might entertain this idea? The circumstances are certainly compelling. I've made a list here of
36:47exactly how compelling. And as her second cousin, I am in an ideal position to ask.
37:04Not hungry? No. Somehow, today has managed to be one of the most enjoyable days of my life. And at
37:15the same time, one of the most depressing.
37:22Telephone call for you, ma'am? Lord Manbatten? I'll call him back.
37:33If I tell you something, do you promise it will stay between us? Of course.
37:39This is how I'd like to spend all my time.
37:45Owning horses, breeding horses, racing horses. It'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. That 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
38:10the other thing is the only thing you were ever meant to do.
38:16Well, you're kind. But it isn't.
38:34And on days like today,
38:37in places like this,
38:40in company 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 snapped.
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, Martyn. I'll talk to you.
39:31Yes, thank you, Martyn. I'll talk to you.
39:53You 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
40:10developing against me and the democratically elected Labour government
40:15that governs in your name,
40:17being led by a senior member of your family.
40:21Who?
40:24Lord Mountbatten.
40:27And that he, in cahoots with Cecil King,
40:30the chairman of the Mirror Group newspapers,
40:32has been attempting to overthrow this government.
40:38Now, I feel compelled to remind, Your Majesty,
40:41that tolerance of the royal family is hanging by a thread as it is.
40:47Now, throughout my time in office,
40:50I have done my level best to protect you.
40:54But if members of the royal family
40:57were to interfere with the political business of the day,
41:00I would be left with no option but to side
41:03with the Republican elements of my cabinet,
41:06which I have successfully controlled until now,
41:11and take steps.
41:16Leave it with me,
41:18Prime Minister.
41:20Your Majesty.
41:47Name.
42:04The Queen.
42:07I did notari.
42:09I have three teams.
42:09I have done my deeply damage.
42:15Drink up, Portie.
42:17We're going home.
42:57Lord Mountbatten, Your Majesty.
43:17You asked to see me.
43:19I did.
43:20Well, 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, that I'm walking into a trap.
43:51I'd like to think you had that sinking feeling on another occasion recently, when going to
43:56see your friends at the Bank of England.
43:59Is it even true?
44:02Yes, I did go to lunch at the Bank of England to meet and listen to people who are horrified
44:07by 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.
44:21Why 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, are we supposed to
44:49just 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.
45:00If indeed that is what they decide to do.
45:21I am sure you find it near impossible to do nothing and to not have the role and the responsibilities
45:27you 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.
46:30And we were going to do that in a few months.
46:31And esas won't be a goodwill to do that.
46:32And that's how I want to change your spirit.
46:37You're going to come back, you're going back, you're going to come back.
46:37And that's when my搭ies are going to end up.
46:38And that's what I want to do.
46:40I want to ask you to try.
46:44So, it's going to be a good idea.
46:45And that's how the mother and the mother
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.
47:38Look at us now.
47:40Only two left.
47:42Your 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.
48:24I told you that.
48:25There are no secrets in this place.
48:29Did you get a dressing down from our doubty queen?
48:35Yes, I did.
48:38Well, what's so funny?
48:40Well, that's funny.
48:42The little girl admonishing the grand old admiral of the fleet.
48:47Well, I'm glad it amuses you.
48:49Because the situation this country is facing is anything but amusing.
48:57Oh.
48:58Who cares?
49:00Honestly.
49:04One of the few joys of being as old as we both are is that it's not our problem.
49:12Not really our country, either.
49:15What are you talking about?
49:16Of course it's our country.
49:18We Battenbergs have no country.
49:23Our family might have kings and queens in its ranks, but we're mongrels too.
49:31Part German, part Greek, part nowhere at all.
49:38Well, this is my country.
49:43Gave me a home, gave me a name.
49:47And in return I've given it my life.
49:56And to see it like this breaks my heart.
49:58So let's do this.
49:59...
50:01...
50:14...
50:14...
50:14...
50:16...
50:18...
50:34You must sleep, sister.
50:49Princess Alice, of nowhere at all.
51:19Princess Alice, of nowhere at all.
51:26Princess Alice and of Mr.
51:28Princess Alice, of nowhere at all.
51:46Princess Alice, of the world,
51:48Let's go.
51:48Let's go.
51:48Let's go.
51:48Let's go.
52:19Let's go.
52:20Don't sound so surprised.
52:21I am.
52:22It's been so long.
52:27So how was France, America?
52:32Educational.
52:35The trip was supposed to be a week. You were gone almost a month.
52:38Yes.
52:41With Porchy?
52:43Yes.
52:43Yes.
52:46Was that fun?
52:49We went on racing business. It was a fact-finding expedition.
52:54Right.
52:54Yes.
52:56If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
53:00I've heard you've appointed him as your racing manager.
53:03I have.
53:03Which means he'll be around all the time.
53:05Yes, with any luck.
53:07Good for you.
53:08Good for all of us.
53:10Yes.
53:22Yes.
53:34Yes.
53:38Yes.
53:49I heard about Dickey.
53:52A coup.
53:53Yes, can you believe it?
53:57It must be hard getting old.
54:05Yes.
54:19I'll be up in a minute.
54:22Oh, will you?
54:23Yes, I thought so.
54:26Unless you'd rather I wasn't.
54:29I'll see you in a minute.
54:56I'll see you in a minute.
55:30I'll see you in a minute.
56:00I'll see you in a minute.
56:13I'll see you in a minute.
56:42I'll see you in a minute.
57:18I'll see you in a minute.
57:18I'll see you in a minute.
57:20I'll see you in a minute.
