00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:50It's a crown.
00:03:07It's a crown.
00:04:17Really, Your Majesty?
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandringham, but if you give me the all clear to shoot, consider it given.
00:04:56I'm going to head straight to Sandringham.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vinicius Scott, I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right.
00:05:06She's with me.
00:05:07Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Louisa?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:02Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on, be candid.
00:06:12It is said
00:06:14you can
00:06:15be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster, did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true. But you need to be a monster
00:06:23to defeat Hitler.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What did it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray
00:06:34vision, you will need to open it
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me
00:06:38what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America and the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:55Oh, very important.
00:06:57Then start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed if you hear no response.
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited
00:07:22is worse than 1949
00:07:26and in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in Stirling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimate...
00:07:41Suggests that in 1952
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:01to recover.
00:08:12Either we get rid of him now
00:08:14or we lose the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:18You must act, Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger,
00:08:23more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader
00:08:34and he became party leader
00:08:36on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:42Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:08:46in the open.
00:08:53Hey!
00:08:55Oh, yes!
00:08:58Oh, yes!
00:09:01I can't just go
00:09:01and see where...
00:09:01Ah!
00:09:02Ah!
00:09:03Oh, my God!
00:09:33Thank you very much.
00:09:38Hello. Are those for me?
00:09:42Thank you very much.
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at treetops,
00:09:58so we've got to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Oh, why?
00:10:05What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:08Why does everybody think, just because we're royal,
00:10:11we like fine dining?
00:10:13Don't they realise we're savages good for nothing but schools and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right. You can use your fingers.
00:10:19I feel it.
00:10:20Look, stop.
00:10:22Watch.
00:10:33Come on.
00:10:38Your old highness.
00:10:39Kiss me.
00:10:43Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4pm.
00:11:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:14Good afternoon.
00:11:15His majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today.
00:11:22No, not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday,
00:11:26but we can provide you with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:31Nine and a half.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58The focus is almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union,
00:12:04so important domestic matters...
00:12:09are falling behind.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:19Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend,
00:12:29as Albert Windsor,
00:12:32you are the one person I can think of to whom he might listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's as difficult as I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:48That person was murdered by his elder brother when he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill...
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us, and that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out,
00:13:18is quite the stickler.
00:13:20And...
00:13:22Know what?
00:13:24Allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir?
00:13:33The national interest, or...
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience, not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate
00:14:00mine about you.
00:14:02Sir?
00:14:04The PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted.
00:14:14To encourage.
00:14:17To warm.
00:14:18To warm.
00:14:18It is...
00:14:20Better to be patient.
00:14:22And get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27And have high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:38Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir?
00:14:52Master I'm well left.
00:14:54Move away.
00:14:57Message.
00:15:04Captain Quč¶£.
00:15:06Who wants to come from here?
00:15:17His Scholar passion was lost.
00:15:18There we go!
00:15:19Come on!
00:15:21There you go, you've got it now!
00:15:26I think you'll be all right. Thank you.
00:15:29I'll put from here.
00:15:31It looks that way, sir.
00:15:32Thank you. Thank you.
00:15:34Your Highness. Thank you.
00:15:37I'm your guide. I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Very good. Thank you.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle.
00:15:43Thank you. And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary,
00:15:56and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop. This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file,
00:16:06maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right. We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please. Arms late.
00:16:18Step two, you're right.
00:16:33Step two, you're right.
00:16:35Step two, you're right.
00:16:37Step two, you're right.
00:16:38Step two, you're right.
00:16:40Step two, you're right.
00:16:43Step two, you're right.
00:16:45Step two, you're right.
00:16:45Step two, you're right.
00:16:47Step two, you're right.
00:16:47Step two, you're right.
00:16:56Look.
00:17:01You've slowly alarmed me.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No, no, no.
00:17:10You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:13Go.
00:17:13By your highness, stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:28Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:17:30Hey, hey, hey, over here, over here, hey.
00:17:35Around, around.
00:17:38My highness, very slowly.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:50Stay with me.
00:17:50Now, keep going, your highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Hey, hey.
00:17:53Stay with me.
00:17:55Away.
00:17:56Away.
00:17:57Away.
00:18:00Back away.
00:18:03When you go.
00:18:04You, is he.
00:18:09You're the king.
00:18:14Goodbye.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:33You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:44I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If papa's condition should continue to improve, well, I thought I'd ask if we might return
00:18:58to Malta so you can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:05I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:09I have.
00:19:12Well, I have, too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, papa.
00:19:34No.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:35No.
00:19:35Yes.

00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No, no.
00:19:38Come on.
00:19:39Come on.
00:19:40I just want to slop it out.
00:19:41No.
00:19:41There's never just one.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43No.
00:19:44Shh.

00:20:58you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short guns on the horn.

00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief felt amongst his people today stems from their
00:33:32respect.
00:33:32I don't know what happened.
00:33:34No, no, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:39Yes, ma'am.

00:49:12this morning

00:49:14quite unusually
00:49:16to ask you
00:49:16whether you might like to reconsider
00:49:18such a departure
00:49:19yes sir
00:49:20she felt that you had enjoyed
00:49:22an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband
00:49:25and earned not just his trust
00:49:28the trust and affection
00:49:29of the whole family
00:49:30thank you sir
00:49:31in the light of this
00:49:33she wondered
00:49:33whether you might consider

00:49:37as controller
00:49:38of the queen mother's household
00:49:41i see
00:49:41a kind and generous offer

00:49:45of a kind
00:49:47and generous man
00:49:51but while i'm sure you're greatly flattered
00:49:53i don't expect you to accept the post
00:49:55hence my discouragement
00:49:57of the offer
00:49:57i didn't want her majesty
00:49:59to suffer the embarrassment
00:50:00of a refusal
00:50:01why would i not accept sir
00:50:04you're asking the wrong question

00:50:10still in your prime
00:50:11controller
00:50:11of the queen mother's household

00:50:19the person
00:50:19with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding
00:50:30unless i'm missing something
00:50:33unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy
00:50:36an uncommonly close understanding
00:50:38which would make accepting this post
00:50:40more attractive
00:50:43i don't know what you're referring to sir
00:50:45don't you group captain townsend
00:50:48husband and father
00:50:52no sir
00:51:03you're probably telling yourself that because no one has confronted you about it
00:51:08that no one can know
00:51:10allow me to disabuse you of that delusion
00:51:14within the close community of those that serve the family i regret to tell you
00:51:20the talk ugly talk unbecoming tittle tattle is a little else
00:51:25now i'm well aware of the toll that round the clock service takes on the private lives of those that
00:51:32serve
00:51:33i am also aware of the feelings generated by continued close proximity to the people you're working for
00:51:41but i would hate you to mistake those feelings for anything else
00:51:58will you thank the queen mother for her kind offer
00:52:06i should be delighted to accept
00:52:09there's no rush
00:52:11take your time to think it over

00:53:18Your majesty I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22And this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary
00:53:24Thank you
00:53:29Thank you, Charterous
00:53:31I'll take over from here
00:53:39Thank you, Martin
00:53:40Thank you, sir
00:53:46Your majesty
00:53:49Martin
00:54:10Dearest Lilibet
00:54:13I know how you loved your papa, my son
00:54:17And I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now
00:54:27For duty calls
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide
00:54:33Your people will need your strength and leadership
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal indulgences from duty
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes
00:54:57And while you mourn your father
00:55:00You must also mourn someone else
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten
00:55:06For she has now been replaced by another person
00:55:11Elizabeth Regina
00:55:17The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another
00:55:23The fact is
00:55:26The crown must win
00:55:31Must always win
00:55:37Ready, ma'am
00:55:38It's all right
00:55:39I'll escort it out from here
00:55:40No, sir
00:55:41If you don't mind
00:55:42The crown takes prescience
00:55:48Thank you
00:55:50Thank you
00:55:51Yes
00:55:53Yes
00:55:53Yes
00:55:54Oh
00:55:55No
00:55:57No
00:56:05Yes
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:40Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives, which resounded far and wide, stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life.
00:57:37And made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.
00:57:50The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:07Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother.
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle with a heart that never quavered and a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport, and after good night to those who loved him best, he
00:59:11fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the
01:00:20crown.
01:00:21This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a
01:00:53thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:02God.
01:01:02God.
01:01:04Save the Queen.
01:01:08God.
01:01:09Save the Queen.
01:01:12God.
01:01:13Save the Queen.
01:01:18Save the Queen.
01:01:20Save the Queen.
01:01:22Save the Queen.
01:01:29Save the Queen.
01:01:34Save the Queen.
01:01:34Save the Queen.
01:01:36Save the Queen.
01:01:38Save the Queen.
01:01:38Save the Queen.
01:01:38Save the Queen.
01:01:40Save the Queen.
01:01:41Save the Queen.
01:01:41Save the Queen.
01:01:43Save the Queen.
01:01:44Save the Queen.
