Transcript
00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:14Oh, what's that?
01:51Hansen 3-7-4-2

03:03Tommy
03:29The Prime Minister returns after three weeks in Jamaica, and here he is now.
03:39Thank you, thank you. It's wonderful to be back amongst you. As you know, I, er, I went away to
03:49concentrate on my health. I'm now fully fit to resume my duties. Thank you.
03:56All right. Quiet, everyone. Sit down. Come on. He's sent some notes to accompany the footage, so I'll read aloud.
04:15Hello, all of you. Hello. Hello, Daddy. Hello, Daddy. I can picture you all perfectly sitting there, wishing it was
04:24Creature from the Black Lagoon.
04:27But instead, this is just boring old me arriving. That's not that, is it? At King George Island. Look!
04:37A hundred miles off the coast of Antarctica. There's your Daddy. Is that Daddy?
04:43And nestled between the white bones of ancient Wales. Here we've made some new friends, and Mike was rather smitten.
04:51He's got a beard.
04:53Yes, yes, they're all grown beards. Makes them look a bit shifty.
04:57Oh, no, don't say that. It makes them look like an explorer.
05:05What's that?
05:06Oh, yes, this is very funny, Molly. We've even installed some signage, so we can find our way home.
05:12Oh, Buckingham Palace. Oh, that's good. I like that.
05:16It's a bit of a commute to the office, though.
05:31Luckily, we found some friends for company, the British Hunting Aerosurvey Teams, who make excellent tennis companions.
05:39Oh, look, they're all playing tennis. Isn't that silly?
05:42What does that mean?
05:44Some things about huskies that you never knew. They have eyes of different colours.
05:49Oh, like the Kaiser.
05:53But most of all, they really, really like tennis balls. Yes, we can see that.
05:58And they have claws to ensure they don't slip on the ice. Oh, look, now, he looks on one.
06:11Joining our family of animals are the penguins and seals who send their love to you all, as do I.
06:22Your loving papa and husband, Philippe.
06:48Good morning.
06:53Tommy.
06:56Your Majesty.
06:57I thought you were supposed to be in happy retirement.
07:00Yeah, I am now.
07:01Well, then what on earth are you doing here?
07:03Oh, dear.
07:05Either you miss the place more than you could bear, which would be...
07:07Tragic.
07:08Yes.
07:09Or there's a serious problem, and you've been called in to help.
07:12Just a routine matter with Colonel Adil.
07:15It's hardly routine if you sent one of the royal cars.
07:19Well, in actual fact, that's my car.
07:21We gave you a car?
07:23You did, ma'am.
07:24As part of the farewell package.
07:26Well, not the driver too, surely.
07:27The driver too?
07:30Was that me?
07:31I believe so.
07:33Well, you've always held a very special place in all of our hearts, Tommy.
07:37Anyway, I must go.
07:39Windsor, ma'am?
07:40No, Sandringham.
07:42Michael's rearranged a few things to me a couple of days off.
07:45Quite right.
07:57You did well to bring this to me, Michael.
08:01Well, I've served three generations of the royal family, four monarchs, and a good many
08:09things to protect them, mostly from themselves.
08:12But this is the first time, Iceland-Durber, to save someone else's marriage in order to
08:19safeguard the crown.
08:20Well, not that we give a fig about Parkers or their happiness, you understand.
08:25Not a fig, Tommy.
08:26Take care.
08:56Dear Philip, I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the film you sent.
09:02It was lovely to set eyes on you again.
09:06And the children were very impressed by the whales and penguins.
09:11You looked very handsome, I thought, in your wailing outfit.
09:16And a suit, too.
09:20And I could never forget what my grandmother said to me about being married to a man with this.
09:29She goes on, but actually, no, I'm not going to repeat that.
09:32Oh, come on, come on, come on.
09:40I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome away to his Royal Highness.
10:10Good morning.
10:13Good morning, sir.
10:17First of all, I must thank you for the way in which you've all carried on with us.
10:24And for the manner in which Rab has very competently stood in for me in my absence.
10:30You've kept me informed of all the major decisions that had to be taken.
10:35In all these months, we have been a united government.
10:40And we shall remain a united government.
10:44But we're not a united government, are we, Anthony?
10:48The war you insisted on has left us as divided as Caesar and Pompey and the country in chaos.
10:55There is no petrol in the pumps.
10:57There are no tins on the shelves.
10:58Our allies are aligned against us.
11:00Our international reputation is in tatters.
11:04How adroitly your weathervane spins, Harold.
11:10You were for the war, as I remember.
11:15Only as long as it was legal.
11:21You liar!
11:30You wanted it every bit as much as I did.
11:37Torn-off masses, scalp with your own fingernails, given the chance.
11:42Taking the oil from that canal and set the Middle East ablaze.
11:46You've lost the trust of the people and of the party.
11:49It's the end of the road.
11:52The road?
11:53Would you willingly let me down?
12:01And would you abandon me?
12:05Here.
12:10Hmm?
12:22All of you.
12:27Come now, Anthony.
12:30You know as well as I.
12:35There is no justice in politics.
12:59Captain Lausles.
13:02Mrs. Parker.
13:04What brings you here?
13:08Well, a retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London.
13:13What are you reading, may I ask?
13:15Tell me that it's romantic poetry.
13:17Yeah, military history.
13:19The campaigns of Napoleon.
13:23Your son?
13:24Yes.
13:25Lieutenant Commander Parker must be very proud.
13:27He might be.
13:28If he knew what the children dug like, he's away again, on tour.
13:33You have my sympathy.
13:35I know from my own wife how difficult that can be, being left alone with the children for days, sometimes
13:41weeks on end.
13:43Well, I'm sure that strong marriages find a way through it.
13:47I'm afraid it's broken, Arsenal.
13:50I am sad to hear that.
13:53Might I ask you to hold off on any instruction or public announcement just a little while longer?
14:00As we both know, the Duke of Edinburgh is performing important royal duties on this tour, and we wouldn't want
14:06any story breaking in the newspapers that might undermine his efforts.
14:13Or impugn the royal marriage.
14:17That's what you came here for, isn't it?
14:20This wasn't a coincidence at all.
14:22You came here because you knew it's where I'd be, and you wanted to put in a word on their
14:27behalf.
14:28It's pathetic.
14:30Still there round-the-clock, Lackey, even in retirement.
14:55Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.
14:56I've just had a call from Dining Street.
14:59The Prime Minister has requested an audience as a matter of urgency.
15:03He's on the train.
15:05He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:06P.m.
15:12USA Music
15:14Man.
15:20Man.
15:21There we go.
15:22Man.え?
15:32Man.
15:34Man.
15:36Man.
15:36Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:14Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:36Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:44Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:48Of course, I asked for second opinions. I asked for third opinions.
16:53I implored them to let me carry on.
16:56But I'm afraid the doctors were of one voice, one mind.
17:01The time has come to put my health above the country.
17:06And to...
17:13To offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry...
17:21If I...
17:24Disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No.
17:30But I...
17:33I...
17:34I think you thought it.
17:39I...
17:44I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed.
17:50And I was sorry to see you lie to the house.
17:53When you told them that you had no prior knowledge of the Israeli's intentions.
17:59We both know that to be untrue.
18:02But, wrong though it was, I did have sympathy for you.
18:10To have waited in the wings for so long.
18:13And to have supported a great man like Winston.
18:17So...
18:18So patiently.
18:20So loyally.
18:22And then, to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him.
18:29To do nothing is often the best course of action.
18:35But I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be.
18:42History was not made by those who did nothing.
18:48So I suppose it's only natural that...
18:51Ambitious men.
18:53Driven men.
18:56Want to go down in history.
19:00Or make history by going down.
19:29I do think the time has now come where we have no option but to tell Her Majesty about the
19:34Parker Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is...
19:40Or isn't in the matter, that newspapers will be newspapers and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state
19:47of the Royal Marriage.
19:48Hmm.
19:52I sense trepidation, Michael.
19:55If you'd rather I can always handle it myself.
19:58No, I'll take care of this.
20:00Try to find a moment on the train to mention Her Majesty.
20:04Good luck, Michael.
20:13Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.
20:15The telegram arrived from Salisbury.
20:17The recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr. McMenna.
20:23Of course.
20:31Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:32Ah, it's just to say, and we could of course discuss this on our return to the palace if Her
20:39Majesty prefers.
20:41No, do sit down, Michael.
20:47But it seems that Mrs. Parker, who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
21:00She has decided to sue her husband for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
21:14Erm...
21:15And that while, of course, there is no suggestion whatsoever of any impropriety on the part of His Royal Highness
21:21that you could remember,
21:22we should perhaps be bracing ourselves for one or two irritating headlines.
21:27Why?
21:28Whatever for?
21:31What is it that she's alleging?
21:33Cruelty, unlawful desertion, and...
21:39...adultery, madam.
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary,
21:49a close friend, and there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club,
22:01bragging about exploits on the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:15I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
22:34Thanks, Michael.
22:35Bye.
22:35Bye.
22:36Bye.
22:41Bye.
22:42Bye bye...
22:42Bye.
22:43Bye.
22:45Bye.
22:46Bye.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:14I gather soundings have been taken and that you have been chosen by your colleagues as the man most able
23:20to unite the government and lead this country following St. Anthony's resignation.
23:25Yes, ma'am.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Although I fear you have inherited something of a poisoned chalice.
23:35It's true. The storm is now raging against us. With Eden's War, we've discarded the moral advantage or any goodwill
23:46we once held, not to mention the dire economic situation.
23:52We'd have been quite ruinous.
23:54But it wasn't just Eden's War, was it?
23:59It was a war prosecuted by a government of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember that you were one of the loudest voices in support of the war in the
24:14beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part, I believe, in any mess.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:37Your Majesty.
24:54Michael, could you ask them to send around one of the cars?
24:58The communication is very clear.
24:59Prime is leaving.
25:01Go ahead.
25:01The emergency request for me to leave.
25:03I've asked.
25:04I've asked.
25:25The emergency request for me.
25:26The emergency request for me to turn back.
25:28The emergency request for me to turn back.
25:28And the general enforcement must be followed.
25:32Ty's on the law juvin'e
25:36Give him 15 hours.
25:53Do you have a moment?
26:02What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I-I told Baron to be discreet.
26:18But, somehow the letter got back to Eileen, and now she has ridden to the palace.
26:26You've noticed of her intention to sue me, Footforce.
26:33Which means you've got that you-know-who?
26:38Yes.
26:40I think we have to assume so.
27:03Morning.
27:15Morning.
27:18Morning.
27:32I remember how we used to do this in Malta.
27:35Go grocery shopping together.
27:38Feels like a long time ago.
27:40Yes.
27:49The reason I came here today is because I heard with great sadness that there are difficulties in your marriage.
28:02And I would like to know if there's anything that I or anyone else can do to help.
28:07My marriage to Mike is beyond help.
28:11I see. Our separation has been inevitable for some time.
28:15I had intended to divorce Mike years ago, but because of the attention surrounding group Captain Townsend and Princess Margaret,
28:22I decided to hold back.
28:27But that was then. This is now.
28:32What's changed?
28:35Nothing has changed.
28:37That's the problem.
28:39It just got worse.
28:40And while some women may elect to put up with this sort of humiliation, I simply have too much respect
28:46for myself and my children to bear it.
28:52I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
29:09I need this.
29:36Don't bury it, Pam.
29:40You'll sweep it away.
29:42It's there, in black and white.
29:54Might I ask you a favor?
29:58Would you hold off your announcement just while we work out what to do in light of this?
30:03I've had enough of favors to you people.
30:07My entire adult life has been favors to you.
30:11You people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage to families and marriages
30:16in your service.
30:18I've instructed a solicitor.
30:20That's my decision.
30:30Gentlemen, I would like to make a brief statement on behalf of my client, Mrs. Eileen Parker.
30:39Having endured an unhappy marriage for some years now, I have come to the sad conclusion
30:45that a formal separation is the best option for us both.
30:49My husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the responsibilities of parenthood or marriage,
30:58and divorce remains the only solution.
31:08Huge best friend and wife's abroad.
31:11Read all about it.
31:13Read all about it.
31:16Let's go.
31:45Let's go.
32:14Let's go.
32:21Sir.
32:25Telegram for my lawyer in London.
32:27His view is, yes, the newspaper coverage is bad, but it's not disastrous,
32:32and he feels confident in law day down in 48 hours.
32:36He thinks we can write it out.
32:38Well, you and I both know that's wishful thinking.
32:43I've had my own telegram from London.
32:51I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:08You'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:28I hereby offer my resignation.
33:34As principal private secretary to the duke of Edinburgh, active immediately.
33:40Accepted.
33:45You've worked for me for long enough.
33:46You know the rules.
33:48We are how it works.
33:51There is no room for mistakes.
33:54There is no room for scandal.
33:56There is no room for humanity.
34:01I think you should probably leave us in Gibraltar.
34:05Might I suggest a policy of no comment on all counts, and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:37Yes, of course.
34:44Goodbye, you sir.
35:00Pick up.
35:02Go on, pick up.
35:07Pick up.
35:09Following the resignation of Lieutenant Commander Parker,
35:12the British press have fallen into line and been overwhelmingly supportive.
35:17But?
35:18I'm afraid the foreign newspapers have not been so kind.
35:24Yesterday, a story broke in the Baltimore Sun.
35:28Where?
35:28Baltimore, Mummy.
35:30Claiming that the capital was awash with rumour that the duke of Edinburgh was romantically involved with an unnamed woman
35:37whom he met on a regular basis in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:51Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:54The British press has caught on with the Manchester Guardian reporting not since the first rumours of a romance between
36:02the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial on its front page reminds its readers that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the
36:21world because it is a family.
36:23Time magazine has a headline, Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:27It goes on to say, Not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace have the eyes of the
36:34world been turned so beadily towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:01The devil's advocate might argue, and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this, that the Duke's early return,
37:09obviously stage-managed by the palace, might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers and pour even more
37:16petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:23And we don't want that.
37:26No.
37:33So what, then?
37:43What?
37:49Yes.
37:52The Admiral will like a woe, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56Tell him he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact, he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:26Thanks, sir.
38:27Thanks, sir.
38:27Thanks, sir.
38:39Admiral.
38:41I'm in command of this ship.
38:45I'm in command of this ship.
38:55I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that our Majesty will fly out to Lisbon a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06... are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:21Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
40:06Hi.
40:11Not that one. One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deference.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat.
41:01Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
41:22no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
41:22no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
41:22no, no, no, no, no.
41:39We'll talk later.
42:02We'll talk later.
42:36We'll talk later.
43:04We'll talk later.
43:11We'll talk later.
43:20That was the palace press secretary.
43:25In his view, the steps that we've taken...
43:27The share we've put on.
43:31The steps that we've taken haven't quite done the trick.
43:37The rumours still haven't gone away.
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this.
43:57No.
44:15So I thought we might take this opportunity, without children, without distraction, to lay our cards on the table.
44:29And talk frankly, for once, about what needs to change to make this marriage work.
44:37All right.
44:38Who goes first?
44:40Stupid question.
44:41I've learned one thing by now, it's that I go second.
44:45If I am to go first, that's where I'd start.
44:52You're complaining.
44:53My complaining?
44:54It's incessant.
44:55Whining and whinging like a child.
44:57Are you surprised?
44:59The way those god-awful moustaches that run the palace continue to infantilize me.
45:03Perhaps if you weren't behaving like an infant.
45:04Giving me lists, sending me instructions.
45:06Do this, don't do that.
45:07Wear this, don't wear that.
45:08Say this, don't say that.
45:09Can you imagine anything more humiliating?
45:11Yes.
45:12As a matter of fact, I can.
45:16I've learned more about humiliation in the past few weeks than I hoped I would in a lifetime.
45:28I've never felt more alone than I have in the past five months.
45:33And why do you think that was?
45:36Because of your behavior.
45:38Because you sent me away.
45:40Yes, and why do you think that was?
45:41I don't know.
45:42You tell me.
45:43Because you're lost.
45:45You're lost in your role, and you're lost in yourself.
45:49Christ.
45:52Look.
45:54I realize that this marriage has turned out to be something quite different to what we both imagined.
46:00Understatement.
46:01And that we both find ourselves in a...
46:03A prison.
46:09In a situation that is unique.
46:15Our marriage is different to any other in the country, because the exit route which is open to everyone else...
46:21A divorce?
46:22Yes, a divorce.
46:26It's not an option for us.
46:31Ever.
46:43No.
46:56This restlessness of yours, it has to be a thing of the past.
47:03It's what I need.
47:05And it's what our family needs.
47:10The monarchy is too fragile.
47:11You keep telling me yourself.
47:13One more scandal, one more national embarrassment, and it would all be over.
47:25So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in, not out.
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking.
47:48What it will take.
48:01All right.
48:05To make it work.
48:08To make it bearable.
48:11I'll need the respect and acknowledgement of the dreaded moustaches.
48:15Please stop calling them that.
48:17I'll stop calling them that when they don't all have one.
48:20An end to their snobbery and prejudice.
48:22No more being sniffed at for being a foreigner with a background.
48:25Nobody understands.
48:26Will you earn their respect with your behavior?
48:28No.
48:29No.
48:30No.
48:30I will earn their respect with the only thing those creatures understand.
48:34A gesture, a statement, something irrefutable that shuts them up and commands their respect.
48:39Right now, I am currently outranked by my eight-year-old son.
48:42Yes, of course.
48:43He's the heir to the throne.
48:54I am his father, Elizabeth.
49:05Her majesty, the queen, has been pleased by letters patent under the great seal of the realm,
49:12bearing the date of the 22nd of February, 1957, to give unto grant,

52:38Michael.
52:40Do you have a moment?
52:42Cosmo.
52:44No.
52:47Get ready for that.
52:48No.
53:01No.
53:03No.
53:03No.
53:04No.
53:05No.
53:18No.
53:19No.
53:19No.
53:27Doric's a bit gloomy.
53:30A bit.
53:31Don't live much.
53:32Could've run the house without Eileen.
53:34You could've at least put the fire on.
53:36Oi.
53:37I've provided whisky, all right, I've burnt some sausages.
53:41Who do you think you are? Royalty?
53:46Here you are.
53:58They're our wives and sweethearts.
54:00May they never meet.
54:04What will you do now? Go back to the Navy?
54:08No. Going back home.
54:10Navy is home.
54:13I'm either home. Australia.
54:16Oh.
54:18Can I come?
54:21I thought everything was all sorted in your world.
54:24As sorted as it can be when you sell yourself.
54:37She wants more children?
54:40Ouch.
54:41I told her the last thing the world needs is more romance to feed, she said.
54:46You should think of it as a second act.
54:48Of what? A Greek tragedy?
54:50Of her life as a mother.
54:54That makes sense from her perspective.
54:58Charles isn't a child to her, is he?
55:00He's also the crown.
55:02A living embodiment of who will replace her.
55:06Supersede her.
55:09Loving a child who through no fault of his own represents your own death can't be easy.
55:13No.
55:15Because she is a little cold with him.
55:20She tries her best.
55:22Might be nice to have a couple of kids that aren't just kids.
55:25Not mortal threats.
55:28Who she can actually love.
55:35What's the airport driver?
55:42What would I do without you?
55:44I'm always at the end of a telephone.
55:46What's it then?
55:48End of an era.
55:55Thank you for that era.
55:58No.
56:00No, Mike.
56:05Sir.
56:07Philip.
56:11Sir.
56:17Sir.
