00:07Yesterday morning at 2.41 a.m. at General Eisenhower's headquarters, General Jodl,
00:17the representative of the German High Command, signed the act of unconditional surrender of all
00:26German land, sea, and airports in Europe, hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight
00:38tonight, Tuesday the 8th of May.
00:54We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, today is victory in Europe's day, long live
01:05the cause of freedom. God save the King.
01:14Ready? Margaret, I'm not sure this is a good idea.
01:17Come on, the war is over. We have to celebrate. What if something goes wrong?
01:21We'll have Porchy and Peter Townsend with us. What could possibly go wrong?
01:30We're escaping from the palace. Quick, out the servants' door before anyone sees us.
01:39We can't just break out like this. Oh shush, hurry up.
01:46Come on, girls. Hold your noses. Why?
01:54It stinks of alcohol. And sweat. It smells of life.
02:22No. Green Park or Trafalgar Square? I say the Ritz. It's where all the most elegant people go,
02:28and some G's in Worcester. Good plan. The Ritz it is.
02:31Shall we be inside the palace? Why? So we can wave to Mummy and Papa?
02:35Honestly, what's the matter with you? Can't you be irresponsible just once?
02:51Margaret? Margaret? Oh.
02:59Next week is May the 8th. Do you know, it's been over 50 years, and we've never done anything to
03:07commemorate it.
03:08What are you talking about? The Sovereign? I attend VE Day celebrations every year.
03:15No. I mean, our VE Day. It was quite a night. Do you remember?
03:25Of course I remember. We almost lost you. And then we very much found you. The real you. The you
03:39that you gave up in order to be the other you.
03:43Yes, all right. Don't you miss her? She was so much fun.
03:48Oh, it ain't my fault. Oh, it ain't my fault.
03:56And as I recall, we swore to keep the events of that evening secret.
04:05Gin.
04:07Well done.
04:09Revenge?
04:10I can't, I'm afraid. Early start. I'm expected in Clapham Junction, first thing.
04:17Whatever for?
04:18Something to do with the local council's closed circuit television system.
04:25Oh. Do you not have anything tomorrow? No. But, must eat soon. At the weekend. Good.
04:40Why? I always think that's where you're happiest. Come on, dogs. Come on.
04:48Come on.
05:07Green with lust. And sick with shyness. Let me lick your lacquer, Jones.
05:17God, oh, gosh, your royal highness. Put your finger up my nose.
05:29John Betjeman was so mad for me that his friend Morris Bower wrote this filthy bone about it.
05:39Pin your teeth upon my dress. Plant my head with watercress. Only you can make me happy. Wrap me in
05:51a woolen nap.
06:01Mm-hm.
06:05Ooh!
06:06Oh.
06:07Oh.
06:07Ma'am.
06:11In...
06:12In a plush and...
06:16A plated pram.
06:21Wheel me round St. James's, ma'am.
06:26Let your...
06:30Ma'am?
06:34Let your...
06:40Ma'am, is she on?
06:43Yes.
06:43This is a smart book a lot.
06:46It's alive.
06:47Oh, my God.
06:49Oh, my God.
06:50Oh, my God.
07:05Oh, my God.
07:10Oh, my God.
07:25Oh, my God.
07:28Oh, my God.

25:28How are you feeling now ma'am?
25:29sky but one thing that throughout it all sustain me memories as it turns out I
25:49have rather fond memories of quite a few evenings at the Ritz that I'd like to
25:59share with you one in particular comes to mind when a very different side of the
26:08young princess Elizabeth was revealed and I'm sure everyone would love to hear
26:18about that which is why I'm telling it it would miss the point entirely why we're
26:25all here tonight to celebrate you as a child I always felt sorry for children
26:36who didn't have a brother or sister from the day she was born Margaret Rose has
26:43been my constant companion rarely able to see other children we relied on one
26:49another and like Juno swans we were inseparable we we shared a room wore the
26:59same clothes enjoyed the same activities in particular managing our collection of
27:06wooden horses on wheels that we would groom and water and race and whenever we got
27:15into trouble Margaret would blame everything on her imaginary friend
27:20cousin Halifax I would there really wasn't anything cousin Halifax wouldn't do
27:27you sounding the air raid bell to wake the guards hiding the gardener's tools he
27:34really was very mischievous it's not always easy growing up in a family where one
27:42person has to wear the crown being the number two but Margaret has been my ally day
27:50in day out that's the person I wanted to tell you about tonight not the dazzling you
27:57all know that already but the dutiful never wavering my lifelong companion and
28:06support without whom
28:15well
28:20it would be unimaginable
28:24dearest Margaret many happy returns
28:40I don't know whether to be touched or cross why I've always wanted to sing your praises in
28:47public well it was both uncalled for and rather thrilling everyone is being nice one should be
28:58seriously ill more often
29:03listen to that cough you haven't started smoking again
29:07no of course not that was cousin Halifax
29:17good night Lilibet
29:19good night
29:20good night
29:21good night
29:47good night
29:55good night
29:57good night
29:58good night
30:19Oh, my God.
30:48PHONE RINGS
31:13PHONE RINGS
31:18Hello, you.
31:28Well, goodbye, you.
31:30Stop it.
31:33We'll have you up and out of here in no time.
31:35No.
31:37I'm afraid it's serious this time.
31:42I can feel it.
31:46Or can't feel it.
31:48Or like.
31:51I can't feel anything.
31:53Or see anything.
31:58My body's...
32:03Deserting me one limb at a time.
32:08The doctors tell me you aren't eating.
32:12I'm really not hungry.
32:17Well, I brought you these.
32:20Your favourite.
32:23Jam tarts.
32:26Now you're talking.
32:31And...
32:34A very pretty...
32:36Walking stick.
32:38For when you're back on your feet.
32:40It's...
33:06All right.
34:40Two terrorist weapons, four hijacked passenger planes. Two crashed with awful effects into the World Trade Center in New York.
34:47The third into the Pentagon in Washington. The fourth in Pennsylvania.
34:51America spends billions of dollars every year gathering and assessing intelligence reports to prevent attacks like these.
35:01A San Francisco husband slept through his wife's call from the World Trade Center. She left her last message to
35:11him on the answering machine.
35:14There was rarely only one thing left for her to say. I love you. She said it over and over
35:21before the line went dead. And then, oblivion.
35:29So sad. And such terrible news about Lord Carnarvon, too.
35:40He collapsed while he was watching the news. Heart attack.
35:50Poor Jean. Poor you, too. He was such a special friend.
36:03He would bring horse news, which is the only news I ever really want to hear. He used to hold
36:10up his mobile phone when horse bidding was underway so I could hear the action.
36:15He was devoted to you. Now, all those closest to you are abandoning you one by one.
36:27What are you talking about?
36:28What are you talking about? Portie? Yes. Mummy? Soon? Yes. Me? Don't you dare. It's the truth. I'm not thrilled
36:43about it. In fact, I'm furious about it. I'm not ready to leave this particular party. But we need to
36:54discuss it.
36:55I've written a very detailed plan for my funeral. You know what a planner I am. And I want your
37:04reassurance that it will go exactly as I intend.
37:12Hmm. I want to wear my flower dress, not some horrid black thing. And please don't let them put red
37:24lipstick on me.
37:25For the chapel, I want roses and tulips. And I want the finale. The Swan Lake playing on the organs.
37:37People arrive.
37:40And one more thing. Very important. Yes, of course. Promise me that I will actually be dead when they close
37:55the coffin.
37:58Oh. Oh. Oh, Mum.
38:05Bertie, old egg, said young Eustace. Fancy meeting you here. The one man in London who can support us in
38:13the style we're accustomed to.
38:15Oh. Oh, by the way, you've never met old dog face, have you? Dog face? This is my cousin Bertie.
38:23Hmm.
38:24Is this silly? No, it's wonderful. Go on.
38:29What are you doing in London? I asked. Oh, buzzing round. We're just up for the day. Flying visit. Strictly
38:38unofficial.
38:39We oil back on the 310. We oil back on the 310. And now, touching on that lunch you very
38:48decently volunteered to stand us, which shall it be?
38:52Ritz? Savoy? Carlton? Ritz, please. Because we love the Ritz, don't we? Honestly. You and the Ritz. No. You and
39:04the Ritz.
39:06If people don't know about that night, they'll never fully understand. Hmm. How irresponsible I was.
39:14What's the scale of the sacrifice you've made? How much of your true self you've locked up? Hidden away. You
39:28caused havoc that night. It was the end of the war.
39:44Now. Now. Now. You rest.
40:19Now.
40:41Now. Now. Now. Now. Now. Now.
40:43Oh, now.
40:44Dad.
40:44Turn your ideas.
41:22Down here is the place to be
41:29Why is that down here? There's no rank or background this music
41:42Well, in that case
41:57Well, no, ain't my fault
42:02I said, no, it ain't my fault
42:08Hell, no, it ain't my fault
42:12You blame her, I blame her, it ain't my fault
42:16Let's go!
42:18Hell, it ain't my fault
42:21I said, no, it ain't my fault
42:26Well, no, it ain't my fault
42:31You blame her, I blame her, it ain't my fault
42:36Alright, no, it ain't my fault
42:41But no, it ain't my fault
42:45I said, no, it ain't my fault
42:51You blame her, I blame her, it ain't my fault
43:11You two haven't seen Elizabeth, have you?
43:13Stop worrying about her, she never does anything irresponsible
43:16She's been a long time
43:18I'm going to look for her
43:22I'll come with you, Porchie
43:27Alright, wait for me
43:28I left, let's go
44:03Come on, Portie.
44:04Let's get her out of here.
44:06No, don't.
44:08Leave her.
44:10Look how happy she is.
44:12Oh!
