04:18as well. When you have a sister who is supreme governor of the Church of England and defender
04:26of the faith, it's sometimes a little difficult to separate the two. What is the next record?
05:01ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:23That's enough. I said that's enough.
05:29ORCHESTRA PLAYS
05:44That was an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake,
05:47performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andre Previn.
05:52And the significance of that?
05:57I've always had a special love for the ballet.
06:01There are some things one cannot express in words, and dance is a language of its own.
06:08And, of course, I used to enjoy dancing myself. Never ballet, though.
06:12Any favorite dance partners over the years?
06:14I certainly won't be disclosing that.
06:18In any case, such exertions are best left to the young.
06:23One always has one's memories.
06:25Tell us about your next choice.
06:31STARDUST
06:31By Hoagie Carmichael
06:34You play the piano yourself, of course.
06:36Yes, I had lessons from a young age.
06:40My sister had lessons in constitutional history, and I had piano.
06:48Is music your first love?
06:53One has many first loves.
06:58When one reaches a certain age, one cannot help embarking on an audit of the heart, a review.
07:05One considers all those loves, those dreams and youthful passions, in the context of a whole life.
07:15And it's interesting to note what endures.
07:18Some that remain and become lasting loves, and some that fade and one realises were probably never true loves at
07:27all.
07:28Thankfully, music has been a constant in my life, and I expect it shall remain so.
07:35Does this final record have any special meaning for you?
07:39It does have special meaning, yes.
07:42And that is?
07:43Yes. Let's leave it at that.
07:47This is STARDUST by Hoagie Carmichael.
08:01Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song and a melody haunts my reverie.
08:19And I am once again with you, though I dream in vain.
08:29In my heart it will remain my stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
09:07No, it will remain my stardust, the memory of a song and a melody haunts my own.
09:11In my heart it will remain
09:15My stardust melody
09:19The memory of love's refrain
09:38Dear Margaret, it is possible this letter will come as a nasty intrusion rather than a pleasant surprise.
09:46I'm planning a rare visit to London from the Isle de France and found myself wondering if you had any
09:52plans to attend the reception.
09:54Next week at the Caledonian Club.
09:56Oh, for the crew who served on HMS Vanguard.
10:02Peter Townsend.
10:03Yes.
10:04When was the last time you heard from him?
10:07Oh, it must be 35 years ago.
10:12Isn't HMS Vanguard where you and Peter fell in love?
10:17Not sure it was love at the beginning.
10:20Of course it was love.
10:23At the very first glance, if you say so.
10:28I do.
10:30The love of my life.
10:32The tour of Southern Africa.
10:34First time either of us had been abroad, so that must have been...
10:381947.
10:40Philip had just proposed.
10:41I'd said yes, please.
10:43Papa said not so fast.
10:44And Mr. Sourthner, three-month tour.
10:46Hoping you would come to your senses.
10:47A fat chance.
10:50Meanwhile, I was losing my senses on early morning rides with Papa's dashing Aquari.
10:57Yes.
10:58His dashing married Aquari.
11:01Peter was such a good horseman.
11:07I dare say.
11:10So.
11:12What do you imagine he wants?
11:16Must be in his late 70s now.
11:19Long married.
11:20Yes.
11:22Happily married.
11:23One hears.
11:24With children.
11:27And grandchildren.
11:36Will you go?
11:38I think I might.
11:43Why, what's it to you?
11:52I don't know.
12:31Thank you for agreeing to this.
12:33I asked him to put out some tea.
12:36I want something a little stronger than that.
12:40I've come to talk about my marriage.
12:44The thing is, I actually had some sympathy for her regarding Wyatt.
12:49I was a bit rough around the edges.
12:52American, of course.
12:53But I've been away so much on duty with the Navy.
12:56It's not surprising Sarah felt a bit neglected.
12:58In all things considered, Steve was actually a pretty decent bloke.
13:02Who was carrying on with your wife?
13:04Not anymore, Mummy.
13:05He's out.
13:08He's gone.
13:11And there's another one now.
13:14A financial advisor, John Bryan.
13:17Oh, for heaven's sake.
13:19With more photographs to come.
13:22Of what?
13:24She don't want to know.
13:26In Saint-Tropez.
13:28Doing something unmentionable.
13:30You're right.
13:31I don't want to know.
13:32Sucking Sarah's toes, Mummy.
13:35What?
13:36I know.
13:38People tell me I put my foot in it from time to time.
13:40At least I didn't put it in someone's mouth.
13:43Can you imagine?
13:44A actual foot.
13:46Even if he was that hungry, he could have just ordered a sandwich.
13:49Or some soul.
13:50Soul.
14:01It's just the sheer humiliation of it all.
14:05Which is why this time I'm left with no option but to...
14:12Or mention the D-word.
14:15Diplomacy?
14:16Detente?
14:17Is it asking too much to say duty?
14:22Divorce, Mummy.
14:23Oh, darling.
14:25She's had enough.
14:28And I don't blame her.
14:31I blame us.
14:33What?
14:33We all knew what we were getting into when we brought Sarah into the family.
14:37Everyone was so pro.
14:40You more than anyone.
14:41Yes.
14:43She was a breath of fresh air.
14:46Modern, relatable, buckets of fun.
14:50That laugh.
14:50So infectious.
14:52Yes.
14:54But that's what we do in this family.
14:57Destroy anyone that's different.
14:59Not at the beginning, of course.
15:01First we tell ourselves how good they'll be for the system.
15:03They'll be our salvation, our secret weapon.
15:08Make us look more modern, more normal, more human.
15:15And we learn the same painful lessons yet again.
15:19That no one with any character, originality, spark, wit and flair has a place in the system.
15:30Dear Peter, it was a great pleasure to hear from you again, and I look forward to seeing you on
15:36the 7th.
15:38I would say keep your eyes open for a diminutive 60-year-old prune.
15:43But mercifully, time hasn't touched me at all, and I'm entirely unchanged since our last meeting in 1955.
16:09I love it!
16:16I love it!
16:17I love it!
16:19I'd like to see you.
16:22Roger Carter.
16:27Harold Armstrong Scott.
16:30I'd like to see you.
16:34And the former equerry to his majesty the king.
16:41Come on, honey.
16:44Peter.
16:48Having danced a little too vigorously with the princesses.
16:52Join me with the festivities.
16:55I, and I expect the rest of you,
16:58will never forget the beauty of the Drakensburg Mountains,
17:03Victorian forms,
17:05endless deserted beaches,
17:09as well as the Port of Elizabeth.
17:23I've got a lot of fun.
17:33I've got a lot of fun.
17:40I want to see you.
17:41How are you?
17:51He's certainly put some colour in your cheats.
17:55Does he have a name?
17:57Tim.
17:59Does he make you happy?
18:02Are you in love?
18:05I think I am.
18:07Does everyone disapprove?
18:09Almost certainly.
18:11Then take it.
18:14Fight for him.
18:16Ah, this song.
18:18And that's my cue to leave.
18:20Are you going so soon?
18:22Yes.
18:23Goodbye, darling.
18:24So, join your home.
18:27This song used to be your cue to stay.
18:30I know, but I...
18:32I'm afraid I must insist.
19:04I'll see you next time.
20:10That was lovely.
20:13I hope we don't leave it another 40 years or meeting again.
20:19Well, as it happens, I shall be back in London soon.
20:25And there are some things I'd like to return to you.
20:29The letters.
20:32Oh.
20:33Not as a rejection.
20:36I kept them all.
20:39Reading them, it took me back to that time.
20:41And I thought, they're so precious.
20:45I'm not getting any younger, and if anything should happen, I'd hate to see them fall into
20:50the wrong hands.
20:51So I...
20:54Well, I thought better with you.
20:58That's very thoughtful of you.
21:02As it happens, I kept all your letters, too.
21:06Every one of them.
21:11Good night, Peter.
21:13Good night, you, Orwell Hines.
21:15Good night, you, Orwell Hines.
21:45Oh.
21:46My book.
21:47Almost finished.
21:50So many other riveting things to read, too.
21:54Don't.
21:56Anyway.
22:00I'm here to talk about Tim.
22:02Tim?
22:05Commander Lawrence.
22:07Oh.
22:09Are you two still...
22:10We are.
22:12And I'm here to say we intend for it to be permanent.
22:18As in, till death do us part.
22:21What?
22:23You hardly know one another.
22:26Almost three years, Mummy.
22:29And the ink is barely dry on your divorce from Mark.
22:33And in the climate, we find ourselves.
22:36With so much scrutiny on the family.
22:40Are you sure it wouldn't be wise to...
22:44Wait.
22:46Wait.
22:47Just a little.
22:49Darling.
22:50I'm glad you found happiness.
22:52I know how difficult it was in the end with Mark.
22:54But of all the families you could have been born into,
22:57fate has endowed you with this one.
22:59With everything that goes with it.
23:01Including the fact that your mother is Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
23:04And remarriage, when the first husband is still alive,
23:07as you well know, is not only frowned upon.
23:10It is forbidden.
23:11I, of all people, hardly need reminding of the requirements of being in this family.
23:18I have dedicated myself to my role.
23:20Bent myself into shape.
23:21Placed duty above all else.
23:23Including more often than not, my own happiness.
23:27Five engagements a day.
23:29300 days a year for the past 24 years.
23:32Well, you cannot have all of me.
23:36And I will not give all of me.
23:40And I will marry Tim.
23:56In you go.
23:57In you go.
23:58Good girl.
24:00How was that?
24:02Fine.
24:06Let's just go.
24:07Wait.
24:38Let's just go.
24:40Sometimes I wonder
24:43Why I spend
24:46The lonely night
24:49Dreaming of a song
24:52And the melody
24:54Haunts my reverie
24:58And I am once again with you
25:02Though I dream in vain
25:08In my heart
25:10In my heart
25:10It will remain
25:12My stardust melody
25:17The memory
25:18The memory
25:18Your royal highness
25:19As requested
25:20I will be accompanying you
25:22I will be accompanying you
25:22On a short ride to Gregowan Lodge tomorrow
25:24Weather permitting
25:26Group captain
25:27Peter Townsend
25:33Your royal highness
25:35I have been meaning to thank you for your kindness in Balmoral
25:38You may have thought
25:40You may have thought your kind act went unnoticed
25:42You may have thought your kind act went unnoticed
25:42Camouflaged as you were in your green tartan skirt and tweed jacket
25:47It did
25:48It did not
25:49It did not
25:49It did not
25:51My darling Margaret
25:53It was reckless of you to visit me in my office today
25:56My stardust melody
25:59The memory of love's refrain
26:05Reckless
26:07And magnificent
26:10I do love you so
26:26Darling Margaret
26:28It seems the world has intruded our private Eden
26:32And wants to forbid our love
26:37They're banishing me
26:39Sending me away like a criminal
26:44I hate to think of you suffering
26:46A creature made for happiness
26:50But hold to our pact
26:52Stay true to one another
26:54In spite of everything
27:00Margaret
27:01I write to you with a heavy heart
27:04I have just returned to Brussels from a year abroad around the world
27:09A young woman named Mary Luce accompanied me on this trip as my secretary and photographer
27:16Her companionship has been one of the few joys in my life
27:20I have decided to ask her to marry me
27:24I know you will feel betrayed by this decision
27:35I have fit today
27:35I have to the same
27:37Let's go
27:37Let's go
28:20Prince Harming, they're calling me now, amid endless other calumnies and lies.
28:27I know you've always tried to see both sides of the marriage, but will you now finally agree
28:32that official separation is the only sensible course?
28:36Charles.
28:39If it were just incompatibility or infidelity, that would be one thing, but the sheer vindictiveness
28:47of that Morton book, and then the temerity to insist that she had nothing to do with it.
28:55I've done as you asked, Mummy.
28:58I've tried to make it work for 11 years, but there comes a point...
29:04I have been no stranger this year to my children's marital difficulties.
29:09But while Anne's and Andrew's problems are deeply distressing, yours are in a category
29:14of their own, because you as future king are in a category of your own.
29:19At my coronation, I took an oath that you will one day take at yours to maintain the laws
29:25of God.
29:27And God's law is that marriage is for life.
29:31And while it is expected for the monarch to be married and produce an heir, being happily
29:36married is a preference rather than a requirement.
29:41You also took a solemn promise to maintain and protect the crown.
29:46Diana won't rest until she's blown the whole thing up.
29:49Is that what you want?
29:57It's funny, isn't it?
29:59For years, I've called for a more modern monarchy that reflects the world outside.
30:05But look at the rates of family breakdown out there, and then look at us.
30:09Margaret divorced.
30:11Anne divorced.
30:12What?
30:13Andrew humiliated and heading for divorce.
30:16Me trapped and dreaming of divorce.
30:18And you talk about moral examples.
30:21If we were an ordinary family, and social services came to visit, they'd have thrown us into
30:27care and you into jail.
30:28That's enough.
30:31We've got our modern monarchy, all right.
30:35Just not in the way we hoped.
30:44It begins to look like parental failure, the gravest kind.
30:51And yet the Duke of Edinburgh and I could not have been more clear with the children about
30:55how important we consider marriage to be.
31:00I have every sympathy.
31:05My own daughter is divorced.
31:08My son is separated.
31:11All we can do is ask for God's guidance.
31:16How did it come to this?
31:21Our generation was brought up to believe that marriage was an ideal and divorce was a problem.
31:28This generation.
31:31Yes.
31:34But the prince and princess are not yet separated.
31:39There is still hope of reconciliation.
31:43And we all pray for it.
31:48We do.
31:50We do.
31:53Daily.
31:56Daily.
31:58Daily.
32:29The force is coming in of a fire at Windsor Castle, with flames shooting from the turrets and smoke pouring
32:36over them.
32:36The Majesty is being kept informed of the operation, and it's understood she's on her way to the scene.
33:04It went up like a tinderbox. Those were the words of one observer about this blaze, which despite the efforts
33:10of the fire service, still shows no signs of being brought under control.
33:14The entire North Terrace is ravaged by flames. Fire crews are working determinedly to stop them spreading and destroying some
33:23of Britain's most priceless treasures.
33:25It's now about six hours since this fire started, and much of the top left-hand side of Windsor Castle
33:31is still on fire, still burning.
33:34The destruction inside, I'm told, is absolutely enormous. Ceilings have come down. Smoke damage, fire damage, water damage.
33:41Well, I was talking to one of the Queen's aides, and I asked him what she felt about what had
33:47happened and what her mood about it was, and he said that she's like any mother watching her own home
33:52burn down.
33:53She's obviously absolutely devastated. People are just absolutely stunned by what's happening around them.
34:16Some people are just like that, but I'm not sure if they were near them, and just watching her.
34:17She was soemptively facing a section of the moon in which the sea cannot help people to make her happen
34:17at all.
34:17She was absolutely extraordinary.
34:17She did with a particular sea to the sea and out, especially for the sea.
34:18There was a flood that began trying to come down.
34:18She was just a few hours.
34:19She's a few hours later, and she was inundated with a sea of that.
34:22She was just a few hours away from the sea.
35:02The Rembrandt?
35:04Saved.
35:06The Reuben?
35:08Thank God, saved.
35:10And the Leonardo.
35:12But tragically, more than a hundred rooms, including nine state rooms, destroyed.
35:21What about the Crimson drawing room?
35:24Dare I ask?
35:27I'm surprised you remember it.
35:30Of course I remember it.
35:34Everyone had gone up to London for some ceremony or other.
35:38It's the Monday service at St. Paul's.
35:41Leaving us alone.
35:45We spent a whole afternoon in the Crimson room, locked in conversation.
35:51Yes.
35:53Whatever were we talking about?
35:56Everything and nothing, I suppose.
35:59Not nothing.
36:01As I remember, we were excitedly making plans for our future.
36:07With such certainty and conviction.
36:13Like those plans, I'm afraid the Crimson room did not survive.
36:20That's sad.
36:22Yes.
36:23Yes.
36:26I'm curious.
36:28What made you write to me after all that time?
36:34Now life goes on forever.
36:40Recently I had that made clear to me by my doctor.
36:46Peter.
36:48Peter, I'm so sorry.
36:52Around the same time I heard a radio interview with you.
36:55And I suppose I wanted to know if our love, in the context of a whole life,
37:05had been a fleeting one or a lasting one.
37:13in the solitude.
37:15There Oh.
37:15okay.
37:37Bye-bye.
37:39Face intense questioning, over how the restoration bill will be met.
37:43Some Labour MPs say the Queen, not taxpayers, should pay for all repair work.
37:49The monarchy can't have it always a one-way system
37:52under which we, the taxpayers, pick up the bills,
37:56but they refuse to be taxpayers themselves.
37:59Neither the building nor its contents were insured.
38:02Good time, bad time.
38:03The appeal may be launched.
38:05The very worst of times.
38:07The world's most famous buildings have already been known.
38:09Any idea how it started?
38:11The great metaphor.
38:14I mean, far.
38:17The spotlight blew a fuse or something.
38:21In the private chapel, all very innocent.
38:25Or was it?
38:28Like one of those Agatha Christie mysteries.
38:33One can imagine multiple suspects,
38:36each with their own perfectly plausible motive to burn the place down.
38:41Who?
38:41My neighbour, for one.
38:44Diana.
38:45Frustrated, after years of neglect,
38:49she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
38:52Though arson probably isn't violent enough for her,
38:56she'd prefer an atomic bomb.
38:58Hasn't she detonated that already?
39:00Andrew, the Duke of York.
39:03Furious at his own mother for having led him to believe his whole life
39:08that he was irresistible and invulnerable,
39:10only to discover his principal role is to be humiliated.
39:23You don't think I have a reason to burn down my sister's home?
39:30Why would you do that?
39:34Peter Townsend.
39:35Peter Townsend.
39:37Peter Townsend.
39:40Peter Townsend.
39:41Peter Townsend.

39:57Peter Townsend.
40:03intervene when you couldn't be strong when you couldn't be be angry when you
40:09couldn't be be decisive when you couldn't be how many times have you said a
40:13silent prayer of gratitude for him and thought to yourself if I didn't have him
40:16I'd never be able to do it how often Peter was my son my water and you denied
40:30me him I denied you as Queen not as your sister the conditions are irrelevant the
40:38prohibition is what counts a prohibition incidentally you are not now extending to
40:43Anne that is different how is it different and is a royal princess with no
40:50prospect of acceding to the throne as was I commander Lawrence is a palace inquiry
40:56marrying scandalously above his station Peter was a palace inquiry hoping to
41:01marry scandalously above his and and commander Lawrence are in love Peter and
41:05I were in love in both cases one party is a divorcee the situation is identical in
41:11every way except for the outcome she is being allowed to marry him I wasn't her
41:24story and it's happening
41:36and yet even after 40 yes you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge what happened to
41:46me and the part you played in it
42:27you
42:29you
42:59Thank you, Pinky.
43:01Your Majesty.
43:02Mummy, that's a surprise.
43:05I've been told you're unwell.
43:07It's just a cold.
43:09I heard fever.
43:10In which case the only sensible course is bed rest.
43:14It's a lunch to celebrate me.
43:16I can't pull out.
43:17Yes, you can.
43:19And I don't want to pull out.
43:27I've also taken a look at the speech.
43:31You know the three questions we always ask ourselves.
43:33Does it need saying?
43:34Does it need saying now?
43:37Does it need saying by me?
43:40And to describe it in this way,
43:42Annus Horribilis.
43:45People will remark on it.
43:47Not just because of the theatrical deviation into Latin.
43:50What's your point?
43:51My point, since we're speaking Latin now,
43:55is tempus fugit.
43:59Time passes.
44:00People will move on and forget.
44:01Make a statement like this.
44:03No one will forget.
44:05Quite apart from the fact it's an expression of personal sentiment,
44:08the kind of which we do not make.
44:10Mummy.
44:10And it could also be interpreted
44:12as an admission of our failings,
44:16which will only encourage further attacks.
44:18It has been, by some margin,
44:20the worst year of my reign.
44:22Quite possibly my life.
44:24I'm happy for people to know.
44:27Know what?
44:28That their queen is depressed.
44:30That I'm made of flesh and blood.
44:33And that perhaps we have fallen short
44:36in our duty as a family
44:37and owe them an apology.
44:41Apology.
44:43That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary.
44:48Monarchy is the only part of the Constitution
44:51with an element of the divine.
44:54When you wear the crown,
44:56you are transfigured.
45:00Apologizing, Sal,
45:01is not just your dignity,
45:03but God's.
45:04Whose will it is that you are who you are.
45:09Actually,
45:10I'm not sure there's anything to be gained by that.
45:13Yes, there is.
45:15Her peace of mind.
45:18She's done God's will
45:19about as immaculately as any human
45:21for the past 40 years.
45:24She's earned the right to say anything she likes.
45:28And it's our job to support her.
45:32Unconditionally.
45:32Since when have you sung that tune?
45:34Since day one he sung that tune.
45:36Day one.
45:44Now, if you don't mind,
45:47we're due at the Guildhall.
45:59Let's go.
46:19My Lord Mayor, the anniversary of any occasion is a time to reflect, but in light of the
46:30events of the last 12 months, perhaps I have more to reflect on than most. 1992 is not
46:41a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure. It has turned out to be an annus
46:51horribilis. No institution is beyond reproach, and no member of it either. The high standards
47:03we in the monarchy are held to by the public must be the same benchmark to which we have
47:11to hold ourselves personally. If we can't admit the errors of our past, what hope for reconciliation
47:23can there be? Today, I'd like to pay tribute, if I may, to my family. Throughout the four
47:38decades I have been on the throne, they have quite literally been my son and water. For
47:49all the sacrifices they have made. Indeed, to all of you here whose prayers and well wishes
47:58have been a source of strength to me these last 40 years, I say thank you.
49:10Come and have lunch here tomorrow. We could get a little bit tipsy, make light of it all.
49:17The fire, the job, the children, Peter Townsend. I'd love to. But sadly, I'm going to Carlisle
49:27to open a business park. Then Penrith for the Scots Guard Association. Then Kirby Stephen
49:36in Cumbria to visit the Factory of Heredities. Then I'll have to get sloshed on my own with rum.
49:44Rum? You're not drinking rum like some pirate. No, rum. My dog. Oh. It's funny. I'm here with brandy and
50:04sherry.
50:08What does that say about us? Good night, Lilibet. I do love you. I love you too. Very much.
50:27God, that was middle class. Promise me we'll never do that again.
50:30Never.
50:33Good night.
50:34Good night.
50:35Good night.
50:44Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song and a melody haunts me.
51:01You're my reverie and I am once again with you. When our love was new. And each kiss and inspiration.
51:17Oh, but that was long ago. Now my consolation is in the stardust of the sun.
51:41I see Russia's magic too.
51:44Well, that's very good night. I love you too. You can come up crazy, but that's fun today.
51:50Though I dream in vain.
51:54In my heart it will remain
51:59My stardust melody
52:03The memory of love's refrain
52:52The memory of love's refrain
53:21The memory of love's refrain
53:51The memory of love's refrain
53:53The memory of love's refrain
53:58The memory of love's refrain
