00:02:14That's not a proposal. I can't do that without my mother's permission.
00:02:18But I realise more than anything in the world, I want you to be my wife.
00:02:30That's a complete disaster.
00:02:32He is. Including the Prime Minister's claim that Saddam's apparently non-existent weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes.
00:02:40So the Scots cart will be there.
00:02:44Rest on the platform near the High Older.
00:02:53Good morning, gentlemen.
00:02:55Good morning, ma'am.
00:02:55Good morning.
00:02:56Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting is,
00:03:00and I should say it's not because we have any reason to be fearful...
00:03:03Oh, get on with it, David.
00:03:05...that we might really step up our planning of Operation London Bridge.
00:03:10That's the code name for your funeral, ma'am.
00:03:13We know what it is, Edward.
00:03:15Is that really necessary?
00:03:17I recently got a clean bill of health, and in terms of age, I'm only...
00:03:2080.
00:03:21Yes, all right. Not quite.
00:03:23A matter of months.
00:03:25Simply for reasons of prudence and good order.
00:03:27Well, in which case, why not start with the Duke of Edinburgh?
00:03:30He's older than me.
00:03:31And statistically, men tend to die earlier.
00:03:34Well, that's true.
00:03:34And that's why we've been working on mine for years.
00:03:38Operation Forth Bridge.
00:03:40Oh.
00:03:40No, don't say that.
00:03:41Why?
00:03:42It's so sad.
00:03:44Oh, no.
00:03:46No, it's...
00:03:46I'm finding it all rather stimulating.
00:03:49You might, too.
00:03:51It's surprising what it all stirs up.
00:03:53Isn't it, Edward?
00:03:54So, with your permission, ma'am, can we make a start?
00:03:57Let's go.
00:04:16As a template, we've used the funeral of the late King George VI.
00:04:20We would call on an estimated 6,000 military personnel at the procession.
00:04:26A tri-service parade, embracing each of the armed services,
00:04:31alongside representatives from the 15 other Commonwealth realms.
00:04:36The gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard.
00:04:40They will march at the customary rhythm of certain places.
00:05:01And the marathon in the evening, an African-emerczee, and a Cuban-emerge,
00:05:03And the wind will march at the hörens and the air.
00:05:03And the soldiers will march at theajuat.
00:05:04And the air is all in the air, so the air is all in the air, so the air is
00:05:05all in the air.
00:05:07And the air is all in the air.
00:09:38what is he doing
00:09:41planning his funeral
00:09:44he wants that as his hearse
00:09:47you always said mommy that you
00:09:52couldn't do the job without papa by your side
00:09:57that he's your strength and stay
00:10:02Camilla is my strength
00:10:05and my stay
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her
00:10:11I will reflect on it
00:10:14take advice
00:10:17and give you an answer soon
00:10:24thank you
00:10:42I think it will probably be fine
00:10:50you all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge
00:10:54oh for heaven's sake
00:10:57oh yes a little heavy at the moment ma'am
00:10:59but it will shrink down nicely as you begin to express your preferences
00:11:03my preference would be a quiet service in Scotland
00:11:05out of sight and over in 20 minutes
00:11:09perfectly understandable
00:11:10but this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest serving monarch in history
00:11:14people will want to celebrate your reign
00:11:16and mark the end of any era
00:11:18not just here but all around the world
00:11:20so I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies
00:11:23depending upon where the
00:11:25forgive me ma'am
00:11:27the death actually occurs
00:11:29if it's abroad ma'am
00:11:31or here in the United Kingdom
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local
00:11:37thank you ma'am

00:12:15what's the theme?
00:12:17colonials and natives
00:12:18then there's that
00:12:20you think they could have picked a more offensive theme
00:12:22mate you're such an undergraduate now
00:12:25you'd have never said that before you went to uni
00:12:27now I am saying it
00:12:28cliche

00:12:36fuck the rest
00:12:37or hit him
00:12:38hold on hold on
00:12:39hold on hold on hold on
00:12:40oh my god
00:12:44useful
00:12:46your valenesses
00:12:48I just had a call from Ian's private secretary
00:12:52can you come down please?
00:12:54it's never good when they come in packs
00:12:59yeah
00:13:28your majesty
00:13:29my lord bishops
00:13:32I asked you all here today
00:13:34because the prince of Wales
00:13:36has requested my permission
00:13:37to marry
00:13:38mrs. Parker Bowles
00:13:42and I think I'd like to grant it
00:13:51and of course
00:13:52as head of the church of England
00:13:54that is your right
00:13:57but it will not be straightforward
00:13:59or one suspects
00:14:01popular
00:14:02why?
00:14:03I was led to believe
00:14:05the general senate
00:14:06had eased its stance
00:14:07on the marriage of divorcees
00:14:09it has
00:14:10but
00:14:12many people in this country
00:14:13still believe
00:14:14that the relationship
00:14:16between the prince of Wales
00:14:17and mrs. Parker Bowles
00:14:19was responsible
00:14:20for the breakdown
00:14:21of a royal marriage
00:14:23the church
00:14:25the church
00:14:25I think
00:14:25needs to be satisfied
00:14:27that permitting the new marriage
00:14:30would not in effect
00:14:32consecrate a past infidelity
00:14:34for the church of England
00:14:36to be seen
00:14:37to be blessing it
00:14:38could risk a split
00:14:40in the Anglican communion
00:14:43one suggestion
00:14:44could be that
00:14:45and I would be interested
00:14:47in hearing
00:14:48the archbishop of Canterbury's view
00:14:50that the prince
00:14:51and mrs. Parker Bowles
00:14:52marry in a civil ceremony
00:14:54and then have a church blessing
00:14:56afterwards
00:14:57in a registry office
00:15:00in the eyes of the church
00:15:01no marriage service
00:15:02is more legitimate
00:15:04than another
00:15:04it's more a question
00:15:06of signals
00:15:07appearances
00:15:09a condition of the blessing
00:15:11could be some form
00:15:13of atonement
00:15:14quite so
00:15:16some acknowledgement
00:15:17of wrongdoing
00:15:19on the couple's part
00:15:22man
00:15:24the service might include
00:15:26a prayer of penitence
00:15:27in which the couple
00:15:29join with the congregation
00:15:30in asking forgiveness
00:15:31for past
00:15:34wickedness
00:15:39I've always taken comfort
00:15:41in the knowledge
00:15:42that God
00:15:42retaineth not
00:15:44his anger forever
00:15:45because he delighteth
00:15:46in mercy
00:15:49whatever short-term risk
00:15:51the marriage
00:15:52may present
00:15:52to the integrity
00:15:53of the church
00:15:54one has to imagine
00:15:55it would do less damage
00:15:57than if I were to die
00:15:59well it is going to happen
00:16:01one day
00:16:04and my heir
00:16:05acceded to the throne
00:16:07while living in sin
00:16:16oi oi

00:16:26it was an incredible
00:16:28decision

00:17:12your dear papa
00:17:14what's he done now
00:17:15nothing he's done
00:17:18it's what he wants

00:17:22how would you both
00:17:22feel
00:17:24about him
00:17:25getting married
00:17:25I knew it
00:17:28why can't they just
00:17:29carry on as they are
00:17:29because Charles
00:17:30will be king
00:17:31one day
00:17:32the last time
00:17:32we had an unmarried
00:17:33king on the throne

00:17:36William

00:17:42with mummy
00:17:43and anything other
00:17:44than that
00:17:45feels
00:17:46wrong
00:17:46so wrong

00:17:49I suppose
00:17:51this is the reality

00:17:54to make him happy
00:17:57does she
00:17:59and having him happy
00:18:00and settled
00:18:01is good for us

00:19:10I'm just being a realist
00:19:11and changing your tune
00:19:12I'm not saying what you feel
00:19:14that's what being a realist
00:19:15you're such a fucking company man
00:19:17I'm just trying to be an adult

00:20:01I'm just trying to be an adult
00:20:06I'm just trying to be an adult
00:21:07That's a relief.
00:21:09They supported the idea of the marriage.
00:21:12Slightly through gritted teeth.
00:21:16Harry's more gritted than William's.
00:21:19I'm not surprised.
00:21:22I worry about Harry.
00:21:25We all do.
00:21:27Sometime in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted, all this talk of my funeral has stirred things up a bit.
00:21:47Anything you want to discuss?
00:21:50Not yet.
00:21:58Well, in that case, good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:03All right.
00:22:35Wait.
00:23:08You asked to see me.
00:23:09I did.
00:23:11I hope you know how much everyone appreciates your beautiful music every day.
00:23:16I don't mind telling you.
00:23:18There are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit...
00:23:22Then I hear you play and all that goes away.
00:23:24Thank you, ma'am.
00:23:27They've got me planning my funeral at the moment, just as a precaution, and I'm in the process
00:23:33of choosing the music and wondered if there was a tune for the pipes you thought might work.
00:23:41There are a number of laments written for fallen soldiers, ma'am.
00:23:48I will go home to contain.
00:23:50It springs to mind.
00:23:52Lord Lovett's lament.
00:23:53But is there a particular one that you like?
00:23:56Well, me?
00:23:57Ma'am.
00:23:58Yes, pipes.
00:23:59You.
00:24:05Yes, pipes.
00:24:15You.
00:24:16You.
00:24:16You.
00:24:18Will you play it for me?
00:24:25What now?
00:24:26Why not?
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:29It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:24:32It's not a din to me.
00:25:04On the X.
00:25:06See you tonight.
00:25:11Thanks.
00:25:28Soldier, lie down on your wee pickle store
00:25:36It's not very broad, and it's not very broad
00:25:46But dearie, it's better than nothing at all
00:25:55Sleep, dearie, sleep
00:26:33There we go
00:26:35What about an astronaut?
00:26:36Or a cowboy
00:26:37No, he's more of a goody-goody
00:26:39Or a dick
00:26:40I'm going as a lion
00:26:41I'm just a lion king
00:26:42Oh, R of R
00:26:43I'm going to go
00:26:44What about biggles?
00:26:46What's that got to do with colonials and natives?
00:26:48Good point
00:26:50Germany had an empire, didn't they?
00:26:52What about this?
00:26:54I don't know
00:26:55Maybe cover the swastika?
00:26:56Oh, come on
00:26:57Wearing the outfit doesn't make him a Nazi
00:26:59Isn't that the joke?
00:27:01How about that wedding dress for you?
00:27:03Come on
00:27:05Don't pretend you haven't already thought about it
00:27:09Thanks, Harry, nice touch
00:27:10Your brother

00:27:14Oh, you've got him

00:28:50Toições
00:28:50The Passion
00:28:51aqui
00:28:53La這裡
00:28:54of Si了
00:28:56A
00:28:57La
00:28:57La
00:29:21What's up?
00:29:46Oh, shit.
00:30:16I was a troublemaker at school, repeatedly caned by my housemaster, six of the best.
00:30:25We all make mistakes in the flashes of youth.
00:30:28Rarely as gross a misjudgment as this.
00:30:31A swastika armband two weeks before Holocaust Memorial Day.
00:30:36There's a great deal of affection in the country for Harry.
00:30:40An apology followed by a period of contrition should pave the way for forgiveness.
00:30:48Is that the advice you'll be giving yourself over Iraq?
00:30:52I think we can agree things are not working out too well over there.
00:30:58My hope is that the democratic elections scheduled for the end of this month will form the beginnings of an
00:31:05exit strategy that should allow us to close this chapter and move on.
00:31:19Well, that's a subject that's been coming up a lot recently.
00:31:33Well, you've got to thread it through.
00:31:36Yes, all right. Thank you. I think I remember. I remember. Thank you.
00:31:53That's it.
00:31:55Excellent.
00:31:57No, why haven't it gone through?
00:31:59It's meant to go under here.
00:32:01It hasn't actually right about it.
00:32:04Stop that.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:10Oh, bingo.
00:32:15Oh, good.
00:35:21Oh, there you are.
00:35:24Yes, here I still am.
00:35:26No breakfast.
00:35:28Wasn't hungry.
00:35:30Not like you.
00:35:49How was Harry?
00:35:50A bit subdued.
00:35:53His father's got him mucking out pigs as punishment.
00:35:57That feels a little Old Testament.
00:35:59I agree.
00:36:02Harry was foolish to go to that party dressed in that costume, but he was bloody unlucky that
00:36:09a fellow guest should go to the newspapers like that.
00:36:12Yes.
00:36:13So I phoned the costume rental shop, gave him a piece of my mind.
00:36:17Why?
00:36:19Why?
00:36:19What will it take to get you to understand?
00:36:22Should I draw it in sodding crayon?
00:36:26The uniform was inaccurate.
00:36:29The German African Corps never wore swastikas.
00:36:35A fact I impressed upon the sandhurst top brass, who happily agreed this latest episode should not prevent Harry entering
00:36:45officer training.
00:36:46Oh, well done.
00:36:47To ban him would be madness.
00:36:50And would only exacerbate the real problem.
00:36:53Which is?
00:36:54A lack of a sense of purpose due to a failure of responsible parenting.
00:37:02Yes.
00:37:06Do you want to discuss anything before I go?
00:37:09About what?
00:37:11Well, the funeral.
00:37:13But it might have stirred up for you.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:19Well, I'll be off.
00:37:22Duty calls.
00:37:25Ah.
00:37:35You coward.
00:37:37Why didn't you tell him?
00:37:41What you've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral.
00:37:45In fact, since the golden jubilee.
00:37:49How tired.
00:37:50No, not just tired.
00:37:52Exhausted you are by it all.
00:37:55Yes.
00:38:01How ready for a rest.
00:38:04And at the same time, how ready he suddenly looks.
00:38:09Who?
00:38:11Charles.
00:38:14Oh.
00:38:15Him.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:28We even have precedent.
00:38:30Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in favor of her daughter.
00:38:35Charlotte of Luxembourg was also in her late 60s.
00:38:37That's the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
00:38:39Bicycle monarchies.
00:38:39Not the same thing at all.
00:38:40It's exactly the same thing.
00:38:42And in both cases, a great success.
00:38:49You've been on the throne for over half a century.
00:38:52That's longer than any other queen.
00:38:53Apart from Queen Victoria.
00:38:54How effective was she by the end?
00:38:57Rheumatic and blind.
00:38:58Weak and unwell.
00:38:59Hidden away on the Isle of Wight.
00:39:01You're almost 80 years old.
00:39:02So everyone keeps reminding me.
00:39:05Well, that's nearly 20 years past the retirement age for women.
00:39:08No need to go on.
00:39:09That's what I'm saying.
00:39:11No need to go on.
00:39:14Your first loyalty has always been to the crown.
00:39:17Sometimes at the expense of being a mother.
00:39:22Stepping down is the right thing to do.
00:39:26As queen and as a mother.
00:39:28As queen and as a mother.
00:39:28Right.
00:39:40Back, Steady.
00:40:06Everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding.
00:40:109th of April.
00:40:11At the Guildhall in Windsor.
00:40:14We also felt, given your role as head of the Church of England
00:40:18and the Church's position that marriage is a lifelong commitment,
00:40:22that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony in person.
00:40:27The idea being you can watch the coverage on television
00:40:30and then join everyone for the service at St. George's Chapel.
00:40:34And the reception at Windsor Castle.
00:40:39Has the Prime Minister been invited to the reception?
00:40:43Yes, ma'am.
00:40:44And the Leader of the Opposition?
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:47And the Archbishop of Canterbury?
00:40:49Yes.
00:40:50And there will be an opportunity for me to say a few words.
00:40:54Oh, I'm sure everyone would be delighted.
00:40:57Would you like me to draft something?
00:41:00That won't be necessary.
00:41:01I'll write something myself.
00:41:02That's all.
00:41:03Thank you, Robin.
00:41:20You were all for the uniform in the costume shop.
00:41:22Egging me on.
00:41:23What?
00:41:23Now suddenly you're Mr Morality.
00:41:25Oh, okay, right.
00:41:25Stabbing me in the back.
00:41:27Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, how many faces does this man have?
00:41:29You know what I mean?
00:41:30I'm not sure I like you're turning into him.
00:41:31And I'm not sure I like you've been on a lot.
00:41:32Can you stop bickering, please?
00:41:33I beg you.
00:41:36How was supper?
00:41:38Well, I'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant.
00:41:41The boys were snapping at each other.
00:41:43Well, that's just boys.
00:41:45Can I just make one request?
00:41:46That you don't make my wedding day a misery.
00:41:51I've waited too long for it.
00:41:54Yes, but you didn't witness it.
00:41:56It was horrid how they were to each other.
00:41:59Vicious and unkind.
00:42:01They're young.
00:42:03Riding the waves of emotion which is understandable
00:42:05after what they've been through.
00:42:07Are they going to blame me, do you think?
00:42:09And hold me responsible for the way they've turned out?
00:42:13Well, being their father, you are responsible.
00:42:16For making it better.
00:42:20As soon as they're through tomorrow, everything will be fine.
00:42:25I do hope so.
00:42:27How are you?
00:42:28Me?
00:42:30I'm all right.
00:42:32My sister persuaded me to get a fake tan,
00:42:34so now I smell like the dog's blanket.
00:42:41Are you having any last-minute doubts?
00:42:44Not me.
00:42:46I'm in.
00:42:50For all of it.
00:42:52For whatever being married to you turns out to be.
00:42:56Well, you might find out what that entails sooner than you imagine.
00:43:01What's that supposed to mean?
00:43:03I've been told that the Queen intends to make a speech at the reception afterwards.
00:43:08A speech which nobody has seen, and which she's written herself.
00:43:17It feels like she's planning a big announcement.
00:43:22My father met with Anne to ask what she thought was in it, but she's as baffled as the rest
00:43:27of us.
00:43:28Then Anne rang Andrew, and he went riding with the Queen, but, you know, Andrew drew a complete blank.
00:43:37So if her intention was to set tongues wagging, she certainly succeeded.
00:43:43Don't give it any further thought.
00:43:46Yes.
00:43:48Just think about the boys.
00:43:51Thank you, darling.
00:44:17Dinner was weird.
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:24When he overcompensates like that, this could be an exciting new chapter for us all.
00:44:32Baff.
00:44:33A few years ago, it would have pissed me off.
00:44:37No, I just don't care.
00:44:44I heard Granny's going to make a speech at the wedding.
00:44:48Would you like to know what else I had?
00:44:52That she's going to use the occasion to tell the family she's standing down after 50 years in the job.
00:44:58She'd never do that.
00:45:00And even if she did, why on Pa's big day?
00:45:02Because it's the wedding present he most wants.
00:45:07He does want it, doesn't he?
00:45:09Craves it.
00:45:12For him and for Camilla.
00:45:17If she did, you know what else it would mean?
00:45:21It would be you next.
00:45:24That would make you William the...
00:45:26Fifth.
00:45:27Better than second.
00:45:29He was assassinated by his brother.
00:45:31Was he?
00:45:32Who would you believe was also called Prince Harry?
00:45:36He had William killed in a shooting accident and galloped off to Winchester to claim the throne for himself.
00:45:44Don't worry, mate. I wouldn't do that to you.
00:46:01Really?
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:02It's the whole middle of that.
00:46:04There.
00:46:06It's all for it.
00:46:38And then wait, buddle.
00:46:41You boys?
00:47:36No, no, no, no.
00:48:06No, no, no, no.
00:48:11I don't know what you think you're doing.
00:48:14I'm doing the sensible thing.
00:48:16The responsible thing.
00:48:19We're not careful.
00:48:20If I go on another 20, 25 years,
00:48:23a tired, white-haired, geriatric queen
00:48:26will hand over to a tired, white-haired, geriatric Prince of Wales.
00:48:30Those are the rules.
00:48:32But if he were then to go on another 20, 25 years,
00:48:36it would mean that for the next half century,
00:48:39the British monarchy would be a very decrepit experience indeed.
00:48:42Is that the right thing to do to the institution?
00:48:45Charles is in the prime of his life now.
00:48:48Honestly, I've never heard so much nonsense.
00:48:50Have you forgotten the oath that you took?
00:48:53I declare before you all that my whole life,
00:48:56whether it be long or short,
00:48:57shall be devoted to your service.
00:48:59You're fit enough to ride and drive,
00:49:01so you're fit enough to wear the crown.
00:49:03You remember what Queen Mary told you?
00:49:08Another geriatric.
00:49:12Monarchy is something you are, not what you do.
00:49:15The crown is a symbol of permanence,
00:49:17of stability, of continuity.
00:49:19If you step down,
00:49:20you will be symbolizing instability and impermanence.
00:49:25You'll also be indicating the luxury of choice,
00:49:28which is the one thing we cannot have
00:49:30if we claim the crown is also our birthright.
00:49:33So you would have a superannuated old lady running the show
00:49:35while a fit, energetic Prince of Wales watches on,
00:49:39and straining at the leash.
00:49:41But I don't see you as decrepit.
00:49:43Since the Jubilee, since Mummy's death,
00:49:45I see you as liberated.
00:49:48Confident.
00:49:50You say that Charles is in his prime.
00:49:52Well, I see you in yours.
00:49:58And admit it.
00:50:01You sometimes think there's a difference
00:50:03between you and the rest of the family.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:11It comes naturally to you.
00:50:15They all seem to make such a mess of it.
00:50:18I didn't say that.
00:50:22No, but you've thought it.
00:50:24Privately.
00:50:27And with good reason.
00:50:31This system is a dreadful thing to inflict upon people.
00:50:35It's not natural.
00:50:37It's not fair.
00:50:39It's not kind.
00:50:42But you seem to thrive in it.
00:50:46And more importantly,
00:50:48it seems to thrive under you.
00:50:52So shouldn't you stay
00:50:53for every single day that you can?
00:51:00But what about the life I put aside?
00:51:06The woman I put aside
00:51:10when I became queen.
00:51:16What sort of question is that?
00:51:19For years now,
00:51:20there has been just one Elizabeth.
00:51:24Queen Elizabeth.
00:51:30If you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor,
00:51:33you wouldn't find her.
00:51:37She's gone.
00:51:40Long gone.
00:51:43You buried her years ago.
00:52:03And here they are,
00:52:04his royal highness,
00:52:05the prince of Wales,
00:52:06and her royal highness,
00:52:07the duchess of Cornwall,
00:52:09facing the public for the first time
00:52:11as man and wife.
00:52:12No fairytale kiss
00:52:14from the happy couple
00:52:15for the onlookers.
00:52:16Instead,
00:52:17smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Ready?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:31Son,
00:52:33the speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers
00:52:39in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:41Are you sure
00:52:42you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure.
00:52:49Come on.
00:52:54Come on.
00:53:13Almighty God,
00:53:15Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:53:19maker of all things,
00:53:20judge of all men,
00:53:22we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins
00:53:26and wickedness,
00:53:28which we from time to time
00:53:30most grievously have committed
00:53:31by thought, word, and deed
00:53:34against thy divine majesty,
00:53:37provoking most justly
00:53:38thy wrath and indignation against us.
00:53:42We do earnestly repent
00:53:44and are heartily sorry for these
00:53:46and are heartily sorry for these
00:53:47our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them
00:53:50is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them
00:53:52is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us.
00:53:57Have mercy upon us,
00:53:58most merciful Father.
00:53:59Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:02Grant that we may ever hereafter
00:54:05serve and please thee
00:54:06in newness of life
00:54:08in the honour and glory
00:54:10of thy name.
00:54:12Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:43Today has been a memorable day, with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7-1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14 lengths.
00:56:05Roy Leclerc finished second, simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chapel at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21It is to be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for
00:57:28years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour,
00:58:14both as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:59This way!
00:59:07Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:12Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14You sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways, it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects, number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to...
00:59:43Go bad?
00:59:44I was going to say, need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah, photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside, come on.
01:00:04Come on.
01:00:05Your royal highnesses.
01:00:06Your royal highnesses.
01:00:08Your future majesty.
01:00:13Your royal highnesses, thank you very much.
01:00:15Ladies and gentlemen, tutti.
01:00:18Come on, come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them, keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:41Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you, your majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake.
01:00:47Get out of the way.
01:00:48This way, please, everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:52These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:01:00For God's sake, take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03All right, my God.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still, it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14What e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:28This way, please.
01:01:30This way, everyone, please.
01:01:35Well, that was a surprise.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:16Here I still am.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh, night on the town?
01:02:34Joyriding, ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as Queen for as long as you possibly can, for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No, but I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember, I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:28The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:33This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:41We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep, dearie sleep.
01:04:37Oh, you looked.
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:44A piper's lament.
01:04:47Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:52And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh, you looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:09Well, I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:31Alright.iggle
01:05:34Aye.

01:05:57Amen.
