00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?
02:19Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:37Oh.
02:49At the Elyse Palace, the ceremonial guard awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the French that he came to Paris before going to Vienna to meet Mr Khrushchev.
02:58When is it, do you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty, that one must start calling oneself
03:04middle-aged?
03:06Oh, stop it.
03:08You're still a young girl.
03:10I caught sight of myself in a mirror today.
03:12I looked like an old woman.
03:14You haven't even finished having children yet.
03:18True.
03:19So, finish your family, let the first one go to school, and then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well, that won't be middle-aged, that'll be ancient.
03:30Oh.
03:30Oh.
03:31Oh.
03:31No, no.
03:32Again?
03:36Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it.
03:40It's rented.
03:44No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it.
03:48Well done.
03:49It's macaroni and cheese.
03:51It's heavenly.
03:52It's the Faculty of Medicine in Paris.
03:54So, weekend's been heavenly.
03:56It will be the third week.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where are the four?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:04In Kennedy's.
04:04After Vienna with Khrushchev, then Paris, they're coming to London.
04:08So, we're having an informal dinner at Buckingham Palace.
04:12She's so young.
04:13I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15Oh, she is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:24Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:26All in Paris, by the way, was talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife,
04:30Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:36Oh, she is pretty, isn't she?
04:40Oh, she is pretty, isn't she?
04:42Yes.
04:45Yes.
05:23Oh, she is pretty.
05:26Oh, she is pretty.
05:29Oh, she is pretty.
05:31Oh, she is pretty.
05:31Oh, she is pretty.
05:33Oh, she is pretty.
05:34Oh, she is pretty.
05:35Oh, she is pretty.
05:42Oh, my God.
06:12Oh, my God.
06:51One overriding item on the agenda today, ma'am.
06:55Gardner.
06:57Now continued concern for Nkrumah's growing hostility to the West.
07:01You feel that he's drifting from the Commonwealth?
07:03Not so much drifting as bolting for the door.
07:06Into whose arms?
07:09The Russians, ma'am.
07:12Yesterday he received Brezhnev in a crowd.
07:15Brezhnev?
07:16The chairman of the Soviet Presidium who flew to Ghana for talks about Nkrumah's precious dam project.
07:22The Volta Dam?
07:23Yes, ma'am.
07:24But I thought Nkrumah had been talking to the Americans about that.
07:27He had been.
07:28But Russia sees this as an opportunity.
07:30To outbid the Americans, get a foothold in Africa, in an attempt to turn the whole continent red.
07:37Well, shouldn't we ask the Americans to improve their offer?
07:39I will certainly speak to President Kennedy as soon as he arrives in London.
07:43Oh, good.
07:45Following his great triumph in Paris.
07:48Indeed.
07:49I thought de Gaulle didn't care for Mr. Kennedy.
07:52No, he doesn't.
07:52Personally or politically.
07:54So what turned it all around?
07:56The First Lady, ma'am.
08:00Why? What did she do?
08:01Dazzled Le Tou Paris.
08:03Had President de Gaulle eating out of her hand.
08:06How on earth did she do that?
08:09By speaking French fluently.
08:11Yes, we can all do that.
08:12And by debating with local philosophers and intellectuals
08:16until all anti-American sentiments simply evaporated.
08:19I suppose she is pretty.
08:23And they are French.
08:25She is a so formidably bright woman in her own right,
08:29having studied at the Sorbonne and the prestigious École Libre des Sciences Politiques.
08:34The most glamorous and intelligent woman on earth.
08:39So they say.
08:42And now she is coming to London.
08:45So we better put our best foot forward, Henry.
08:48Prime Minister.
08:49Your Majesty.
08:55Always important, I think, when choosing a gown
08:58is to ask oneself what precisely one wants to feel when wearing it.
09:04Hmm.
09:05I just think that one doesn't want to feel...
09:08second best.
09:10Quite.
09:11Especially if one is very much the senior of the two individuals.
09:15Now, now.
09:15In terms of rank, not age.
09:19To that end, I have something quite specific in mind.
09:23Mrs. Kennedy may have dazzled in Paris.
09:25But let's not forget France is a republic.
09:30This is a monarchy.
09:32And if you got it, flaunt it, I say.
09:52I had a look at the season plan for dinner,
09:54and I couldn't help noticing.
09:56Breathe in, Mum.
09:58Just a bit more.
09:59You gave Mrs. Kennedy to Uncle Dickie.
10:02There.
10:02Yes, I did.
10:03At his request, he's been badgering me for weeks.
10:06As, incidentally, as your brother-in-law.
10:09Bertolt?
10:10Yes.
10:10The rascal.
10:11Not to mention our own Prime Minister and the American Ambassador.
10:15Well, well, well.
10:16All desperate to sit next to the First Lady.
10:20I could let her out a bit, Mum.
10:24No.
10:25What if I'm requesting her, too?
10:27I'll put you next to Theodora.
10:29She's my sister.
10:30Yes, whom we haven't seen in years.
10:32Oh, she's still my sister.
10:34And this is...
10:34Oh, you know.
10:36No.
10:37I don't know.
10:38Her.
10:40Anyway, in terms of protocol,
10:41isn't it my right, as your husband,
10:43to sit next to the most senior female there?
10:46It's true.
10:46At a state dinner,
10:47you could have expected to sit next to the most senior female guests.
10:50But on this occasion,
10:52Downing Street of Arse just begged us not to make it a state dinner.
10:56Why?
10:57So as not to put French noses out of joint.
10:59What's it got to do with the bloody French?
11:01Well, apparently de Gaulle will resist us joining the EEC
11:04if he thinks we're too close to the Americans.
11:07So it's a small, informal dinner.
11:10Oh, fine.
11:10Then it's a free-for-all, seating-wise.
11:12Yes, I suppose it is.
11:14In which case,
11:14I could go to Dickey next to my sister
11:16and put myself next to the First Lady.
11:19If you must.
11:20Dickey next to my sister's ship.
11:21Where?
11:24I must.
11:46Thank you, gentlemen.
12:00The President and First Lady are arriving, ma'am.
12:03Oh.
12:05There you are.
12:07Thank you, ma'am.
12:08Oh, good.
12:18Is it possible to think you could be marginally less excited?
12:21I know.
12:27What on earth is going on?
12:31They've all gone mad.
12:34Here they are.
12:45Madam First Lady, welcome to Buckingham Palace.
12:49Mr. President.
12:50Hello.
12:51Her Majesty is waiting for you in the blue toilet.
12:58There will be a brief reception before dinner, sir.
13:01Fantastic.
13:02Is Matt hysteria?
13:09Done.
13:12For God's sake.
13:13Come on.
13:13It's like royalty.
13:15Very funny.

15:19yes
15:20yes
15:21yes
15:22yes
15:22yes
15:22yes
15:22yes
15:23yes
15:29Ah, so, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific. She's divine.
15:36Is she?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she? Well, then I'll do it.
15:46No, no, it's all right. She asked me.
15:47No, it's my house, so I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Carey, you're mine.
15:59You okay there?
16:01I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although, people keep telling me the same thing.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign,
16:37various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40But now, it's principally used for receptions,
16:43and vestiges, and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:52Shall we?
16:53Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-grandfather,
17:00George III,
17:01and he bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his wife,
17:05Queen Charlotte.
17:07Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits.
17:11The younger.
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him.
17:17Crippling shyness.
17:19Apparently, he could barely look people in the eye.
17:23And yet, he became our prime minister.
17:26I quite understand.
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It's a shortcut.
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place.
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable.
17:56Oh, I quite understand.
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to.
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do
18:07ended up in a goldfish bowl like the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic
18:14to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, you have to explain that one to me.
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them.
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far.
18:28And his strong character is often one who enjoys public life.
18:32Thrives on it.
18:34And then before you know it,
18:36the very person you have turned to in order to protect you
18:40is the very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd.
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech-making.
18:50That's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people
18:55under the glare of spotlights
18:57than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:28Ah.
19:31Hello, stupid.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hey, little puppies.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43And these are puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:50Oh.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:55Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes
19:57of being in a position
19:58where I have to talk to a great many people
20:01but deep down I'm happiest with animals.
20:04That makes two of us.
20:08I always think my sister would have made
20:11if not the better,
20:12the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:18And the greatest of British queens
20:20in her own mind, anyway.
20:30You know I liked her very much
20:32and I've been all set to loathe her
20:34but in the end,
20:35I was utterly charmed.
20:38It's a timely reminder.
20:39Of what?
20:40Oh.
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem.
20:43Well, then I don't know
20:44what Patrick was talking about.
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Poisson.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Oh.
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter.
21:04When was the last time
21:05you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or gallery?
21:08Or even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage.
21:11Oh, thank you.
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner
21:16at the Radsevilles last week.
21:19Well, your new best friend,
21:20Mrs. Kennedy,
21:21was also a guest.
21:23He called me this morning
21:24to tell me some of the things
21:25you'd overheard her say at dinner.
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29You'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32Must say,
21:32it did seem a little unkind.
21:35You know how reported speech
21:36has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
22:15It's so kind of you to come.
22:20It's really not far.
22:21Are you still just around the corner
22:22at Wellington Barracks?
22:23I am.
22:24And are you still travelling
22:25up and down the country
22:26recruiting for all the regiments
22:27from all the top schools?
22:29That's me.
22:33I gather
22:35you saw the First Lady
22:38at dinner recently.
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy.
22:43Margaret mentioned it.
22:44Did she?
22:45Yes.
22:48So how was that?
22:51Pleasant enough.
22:53Uneventful.
22:54You know how it is
22:55at the Ranservilles.
22:56No, I don't.
22:57Well, the food's always good.
22:59Yes, well, I wasn't asking
23:00about the food.
23:04I'd like to know
23:05what was said.
23:08Patrick,
23:09we grew up together
23:10and we've always had
23:11a very frank
23:12and a very open relationship.
23:15Yes, ma'am.
23:16Yes.
23:16So, let's not break the habit
23:17of a lifetime.
23:22All right.
23:26What I ever heard
23:27the First Lady say,
23:29and I should mention
23:31I was several places
23:32along the table,
23:32it's possible that I misheard,
23:37was
23:39that she found
23:40Buckingham Palace
23:41second-rate,
23:42dilapidated and sad,
23:45like a neglected
23:46provincial hotel,
23:48and that one
23:49came away
23:50with a sense
23:51of a tired institution
23:54without a place
23:55in the modern world.
24:00I see.
24:10And did she have
24:11anything to say
24:11about me?
24:14Patrick.
24:14I was at the other
24:15end of the table.
24:22But the words
24:24I think I ever heard
24:25were
24:29that in our
24:30head of state
24:31we had
24:32a middle-aged woman
24:34so incurious,
24:38unintelligent,
24:40and unremarkable
24:44that Britain's
24:45new reduced place
24:46in the world
24:47was not a surprise
24:47but an inevitability.
25:04Well,
25:09we must have her
25:10again soon.
25:11more than her
25:35than her
25:35and we were
25:41To be with
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid.
25:54Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project, President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians.
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday.
26:10To receive the order of Lenin, highest military honor, from Khrushchev himself.
26:16And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew.
26:20Wish I had an ace up my sleeve.
26:22The way President Kennedy had his First Lady in Paris.
26:39Why don't you send me?
26:44Where?
26:46To Ghana.
26:48On what would be seen as a personal trip.
26:50Absolutely not.
26:51That would be out of the question, madam.
26:53Why?
26:55A visit from the Crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment.
26:57Too great a compliment.
26:58It would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation.
27:02In doing so, we risk alienating Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tengenica.
27:05But surely by singling out Ghana, that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from
27:08the Russians and in the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps.
27:10But as Queen, you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth, can I not be permitted just once to defend it?
27:17Your Majesty, it would be unsafe, it would be provocative, it would be, in my view, a profound
27:29misjudgment to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible that the Queen should be going at all.
27:57What would you have me do?
27:59Nothing?
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him, Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa, playing the Soviets off against the Americans.
28:16And you're a lamb the Lion will have for lunch.
28:20The best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be.
28:24A puppet.
28:25A constitutional monarch.
28:27A puppet.
28:28If you like.
28:29Well, that's the whole point.
28:32I don't like.
28:49Sir, she's here.
29:55Stop.
29:56Stop.
29:57One moment.
29:59Yes.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted, that'll be on the front page of every African
30:53newspaper making every other African leader choke with genocide.
30:56Yes, of course, it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:34Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:43I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well, I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:58It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:15Elizabeth.
32:17What's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:26Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She said she's thinking.

36:22Ladies and gentlemen, the man I am proud to call the 35th president of the United States,
36:28but even more proud, to call my brother, John F. Kennedy.
36:39Thank you, Bobby.
36:46What is it to be an American today?
36:52Prosperous, powerful, privileged?
36:56Certainly.
36:59And yet, it is also troubling.
37:04I look around me and find our people divided as never before.
37:09Indeed, it is at no time since our civil war.
37:13There has been a change, a slippage in our moral and our intellectual strength.
37:20Blight has descended on our regulatory agencies and a dry rot beginning in Washington is seeping into every corner of
37:29America.
37:29Too many of us have lost our way, our will, and our sense of historic purpose.
37:37It is time for a renewal, a new generation of leadership, healing leadership, but we cannot do it alone.
37:46And so I am asking each of you to be pioneers in this renewal, in this healing, in the reclaiming
37:55of great American values, freedom, tolerance, and equality of opportunity.
38:01Then we can claim our position and responsibilities as leaders as leaders of a truly free world.
38:08God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.
38:14God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:17God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:17God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:19God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:20God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:30God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:36God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:36God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:36God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:37God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:37God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and God bless you all and
38:40God
38:44Ladies, if you'd like to step over here.
38:56When the British royal family visits a former colony, it doesn't normally make news in the U.S.
39:03But when Queen Elizabeth dances with a former son, a white monarch with an African leader,
39:10the world pays attention, and so too the Ghanaian leader, President Nkrumah himself.
39:18I'm going to Glenora with the kids in the morning.
39:22It's not the weekend yet.
39:25It's Wednesday. It's weekend enough for me.
39:29Don't be like that.
39:32Don't you take away my dignity and then tell me how to be.
39:36I just wanted to thank you, that's all.
39:39For the second time in recent weeks, you've been instrumental in changing a significant matter of foreign policy.
39:48And an African state that was fast running into the arms of the communists has been turned around and kept
39:54in the West.
39:57What does that have to do with me?
40:00Dreary queen, thick ankles.
40:04Her majestic dullness.
40:07The incurious crown.
40:10Apparently just some of the things you said about her at a dinner in London, which then got back to
40:15Queen Elizabeth, and it seems spurred her on.
40:19Without those insults, she wouldn't have defied her cabinet, risked her reputation, and gone to Ghana against all advice to
40:26bring President Nkrumah back on side.
40:28But she did.
40:31Pulled off some incredible stunt with a dance, and it's all thanks to you.
40:36They're ready for you.
40:39Relax.
40:40It's not like you're running to her in Glenora.
40:43Not Glenora, no.
40:45But I am due back in London on my way back from India and Pakistan.
40:49And my advice would be don't go to Buckingham Palace.
40:55Sorry.
40:56The provincial hotel.
40:58It's not so easy.
40:59Her sister set up a lunch last time we were in town.
41:02Oh.
41:04That should be fun.
41:06Cat fight.
41:07I look forward to a full report.
41:11Come on, Bobby.
41:28I'm pleased to say that we anticipate clean and calm conditions for the rest of our flight to London.
41:35Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Ghana trip.
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:56So...
41:57The New York Times calls it shrewd strategic manoeuvring.
42:03An example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian papers are very impressed with your commitment to the Commonwealth.
42:10And the Illustrated London News call it an outstanding personal success.
42:16Hmm.
42:17Floating doesn't suit to you.
42:20The Garnet Press.
42:23They're calling you a socialist.
42:25Hmm.
42:26Goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:38Um...
42:38Her office is written requesting private audience with your majesty prior to lunch on the 28th of March.
42:44What ever for?
42:46They didn't say.
42:48Where's the lunch?
42:50Parkingham Palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Windsor Castle.
43:24Daniel!
43:27Daniel!
43:34The Empress velcroft!
43:36The Empress-是的.
43:42Marig!
43:44Mainly a fortress.
43:45Unshel��.
43:46Oh Chin!
43:49Roman.
43:50Oh man.
43:59Good afternoon, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:03This way, please.
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy, this way, please.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty.
44:51Thank you for seeing me.
44:55Mrs. Kennedy, do sit down.
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday, because I owe you an apology.
45:38Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:57I had a social occasion.
45:59Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:05Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me.
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised, since they in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit
46:26of our meeting.
46:27But in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have to, not to take things too seriously.
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons, which get misquoted or misunderstood.
46:38And before you know it, those words have turned into something quite different.
46:42And everyone's upset or up in arms.
46:46I'm quite sure that you meant no harm nor disrespect.
46:49After all, why would you?
46:54Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse, but if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an
47:01explanation.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07Last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed, at least from the outside, to be riding on
47:13a high.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19Well, the truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of our son, and Jack
47:27had his own health issues.
47:28To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:33So, when we got to Paris, I don't mind telling you I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace...
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:51I enjoyed it.
47:53But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged.
47:56Behind closed doors.
47:59I can imagine.
48:04There are other factors, too.
48:07Our doctor.
48:09Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances, too.
48:26To help pep us up, or calm us down.
48:36On the occasion of that dinner, he had given me something.
48:40A little...
48:41Booster.
48:44I told him I needed cheering up.
48:47But I guess it loosened my tongue.
48:51And then I heard some of these terrible things cut back to you.
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:03The idea that I might have upset someone I admire so much.
49:08That's very kind of you to say.
49:10It's true.
49:12The way you do your job.
49:15The way you cope with the pressure.
49:18The...
49:19Personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your...
49:23Composure and dignity.
49:27As a woman, it's so inspiring.
49:31And what you just did in Ghana...
49:34It was just extraordinary.
49:41What I should have said...
49:43Was that I didn't do very much in Ghana.
49:46I got on a plane...
49:48And I went.
49:50And the only reason I went was because I felt...
49:53Utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything...
50:00I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her piece.
50:14And savoured your victory?
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21For taking off?
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:25But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30Lost.
50:33You did exactly the right thing.
50:37She insulted you.
50:39All of us.
50:40And you're not a saint.
50:41No.
50:42We know that already.
50:46There's ice in those veins when there needs to be.
50:49Yes.
50:52Well, three cheers to that.
51:06All right.
51:07Minus.
51:11Yes.
51:13Yes, yes, yes, yes.
51:16Yes, yes, yes.
51:16Keep it moving on the hills.
51:25Yes, it's all over there.
51:31Man.
51:32What is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, Alan.
51:45Somebody help me.
51:55Man.
51:58There was absolute pandemonium around the scene.
52:02People screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard.
52:05Reporters saw President Kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car.
52:10Men and women were screaming.
52:12He saw blood on the President's head.
52:15This is all we have here in Washington at this moment.
52:18And for the moment, I return you to Radio Newsreel in London.
52:21Hello, London.
52:22I just heard from Dallas that the President is still alive,
52:26but in critical condition.
52:28He was apparently shot in the head,
52:31and the Governor of Texas, Governor Connolly, was shot in the chest.
52:36Mrs. Kennedy was weeping, trying to hold up her husband's head
52:39when the reporters reached the car as it dashed toward the hospital.
52:43Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the car behind the President.
52:48Blood transfusions are being given to President Kennedy.
52:51However, one of the two priests called into the room
52:55has administered the last sacrament of the church to President Kennedy.
53:01Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned,
53:04but they are at the bedside of their husband.
53:17He's dead.
53:21Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned.
53:59He's dead.
54:01Didn't you say how unhappy she was?
54:04In the marriage.
54:07Yes.
54:11but that's the thing about unhappiness
54:15all it takes is for something worse to come along
54:20and you realise it was actually happiness after all
54:32she's still wearing the same clothes
54:36couldn't it have found her something else
54:38it was covered in our husband's blood
54:46no I think it's deliberate
54:48before the body was moved to the rotunda of the capital
54:52the last day in the life of the first capital
54:55president of the United States
54:59Lyndon Johnson sworn in on Air Force One
55:02less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy
55:22I'd like everyone in the royal household to observe a full week of court mourning
55:30and I would like the bell rung at Westminster Abbey
55:36ma'am
55:38custom dictates that the bell only be rung
55:41when a member of the royal family dies
55:44I know
55:46but I would like it to be rung
55:49every minute
55:51for an hour
55:54from 11 o'clock until midday
