00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:18Do apologise, Brie.
04:29Go, man.
04:29Don't need it.
04:31Go, man.
04:39Go, man.
04:41Go, man.
04:46I had a call from the Sunday Times today, sir,
04:49regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy,
04:52and it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen,
04:55again and again the same words came up.
04:58Irrelevant, old, expensive, out of touch.
05:02Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir.
05:04Really?
05:06Should I cover my ears?
05:08No, on the contrary.
05:08They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic.
05:15And when asked, almost half believe you would make an excellent king
05:18and would support an early application by the Queen in your favour.
05:25This story is running when?
05:28Sunday week, sir.
05:30When I'll be in Italy with the family.
05:32Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal.
05:35As you know, a big part of your appeal as future king
05:38is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen.
05:41Yes.
05:42So we've taken the liberty of briefing one or two friendly newspapers
05:45that it's a second honeymoon.
05:51Right.
06:08That's what they said.
06:10Those are the words they used.
06:12Second honeymoon.
06:15Second honeymoon.
06:17First honeymoon.
08:34She's in a mission.
08:36You know how it is.
08:37One can never be sure.
09:14I just wanted to say how happy I am that we're doing this.
10:10Give them some of the old magic.
10:12Come on then.
10:12Let's blow them away.
10:25No, don't let me.
10:49So the route I propose that we take
10:53from Naples to Ischia where Garibaldi spent some time recuperating after being
11:00injured in the Italian Wars of Independence am I right yes sir then on
11:05to Capri to see the ruins of the magnificent Villa Jovis then down the
11:09Amalfi Coast onto Sicily with a final stop in Olbia on Sardinia for a private
11:15view of the Museo Archeologico there and were there any other requests some
11:22beaches hubs there will of course be beaches along the way water sports and
11:29noisy water sports and shopping
11:37shopping it's possible some people might like to go shopping one day who show of
11:43hands with anyone apart from Diana like to go shopping and the entire point of
11:49being on beautiful yachts like this is that you can escape from hordes of
11:53people indulging in retailers recreation
12:00me I want to go shopping me too
12:10then we'll go shopping
12:21thanks for sticking up for me what's brave

13:13what a blessing that would be
13:16for everyone
13:20who's that?
13:22what was what?
13:23that noise
13:28there was a mechanical noise
13:34there it is again
13:35right, I'm off
13:38one last day cutting ribbons in Morecambe
13:40then feet up for the summer
13:56as patron of the church urban fund
13:59I am aware of the vast challenges
14:02faced by this community
14:04and many others across the diocese
14:06the Milk Marketing Board is among the most enduring and resilient of Britain's commercial enterprises
14:15this state-of-the-art dairy complex is testament to the continuing vitality of British others
14:26it has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers
14:31representing a great 30% of the European freight market
14:36it is clear that intermodal containers are Lancashire's ticket to a bright future
15:06how long has the pressure been down on that ground?
15:08since this morning sir
15:22it shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart
15:25she's a creature of another age
15:28effectively a world war two cruiser with soft furnishings
15:32in many ways she's obsolete
15:34in many ways she's obsolete
15:34don't say that
15:36what are the options?
15:38trouble with the main engine
15:40stubborn boilers out of service
15:43sentimentally I think we'd all prefer to stick with her
15:47I should say
15:48but we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best
15:55are you seeing the Prime Minister in Balmoral next week?
15:58yes
15:58he's coming with his wife Dora
16:00no that's not right
16:03Nora
16:05Norma
16:05well you might want to bring it up with him then
16:08I'll talk to the Admiral and come up with some figures
16:11but it's the first time I've started to consider the unthinkable
16:15what's that?
16:17a replacement
16:20built in AD 27 by Tiberius
16:26exactly
16:26wow
16:27the most magnificent of world imperial residences here in Capri
16:34some people say that Tiberius escaped to Capri
16:37because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court in Rome
16:41not something I could ever understand
16:44but after a long successful career as a general
17:00bye Charles
17:01we'll miss you while we're having all the fun
17:07it's an extraordinary our two people's understanding of fun could be so wholly different
17:20when they suggested to us Diana and I that we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon
17:31I said to them you obviously weren't at the first one
17:34on Britannia wasn't it?
17:36yes
17:37I know the queen thinks the royal yacht is perfect in every way
17:40but as an intimate space for newlyweds it's like a floating observation tank
17:48every awkward silence
17:51stilted conversation between bride and glue
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200 crew
18:06did you just say bride and glue?
18:09did I?
18:17the irony is I'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy
18:20it seems to lift the rest of the world up
18:26when we're together in public
18:28I can't deny it is magical
18:30the perfect team
18:33yet in private
18:39listen to me
18:41after everything you've been through with your girl
18:43oh
18:47she let me comb her hair last week
18:50first time since it's grown back
18:52do you know it's come back curly?
18:56found myself slightly ashamed to think I actually preferred it that way
19:03it's a dreadful wicked disease
19:08you've all been so wonderfully strong
19:13is it important?
19:15the Sunday time sir?
19:18oh
19:18yes
19:20I'll leave you to it
19:25it's running tomorrow
19:26I've managed to gain advance sight of it
19:29and I think you'll agree
19:30it's pretty punchy
19:47good morning your majesty
19:49good morning Peggy
19:51oh
19:52a bit wet for the arrival of the princess royal
19:56oh she won't mind this
20:03thank you
20:04good morning our mother
20:04all right
20:08welcome aboard your royal highness
20:09thank you
20:24fellas
20:25Robert
20:25got a bit of a problem
20:27phone call
20:31can the newspaper be delivered?
20:33just arrived sir
20:34has the queen gone to breakfast?
20:36on our way sir
20:37make sure the Sunday times is removed
20:39better still thrown away
20:41under no circumstances can the queen or the princess royal be allowed to see it
20:45understood?
20:46sir
20:49five and four
20:50right sir
20:51I don't, sir.
21:02Good morning, Majesty.
21:05Hear this effect.
21:08Move!
21:12Hello, darling. Mummy.
21:20Sorry, ma'am. You can't breathe that.
21:23Why not?
21:24It's not today's. It's yesterday's.
21:26But yesterday was Saturday.
21:28And that, I think we can all agree, is the Sunday Times.
21:32I mean last week's.
21:33What?
21:33But this is today's Sunday Telegraph, today's Mail on Sunday, and the latest Racing Post.
21:38Oh, yes, please.
22:05Yes?
22:05Yes.
22:08I'm sorry to disturb, sir.
22:12But I thought you should be aware of this.
22:22It's outrageous.
22:24She never stops. She never complains. She never puts a foot wrong.
22:28She's utterly magnificent, and they print rubbish like this.
22:32Looks like more rain on the way.
22:34I shouldn't be surprised.
22:36It is the west coast of Scotland.
22:38I suppose you've seen the Sunday Times.
22:41Oh, morning, Robert.
22:42Good morning, Your Majesty.
22:44Because I checked. Apparently it has been delivered.
22:48I'll look into it, ma'am.
22:50When you find it, I'll be on deck.
23:06Well, to say the article has had an impact would be an understatement.
23:10It's provoked significant debate on radio and television with one particular phrase getting most attention.
23:16Queen Victoria's syndrome.
23:19Yes, I saw that.
23:23An aging monarch, too long on the throne, whose remoteness from the modern world has led people to grow tired
23:30not just of her, but of the monarchy itself.
23:36Any reaction from the Queen?
23:38My understanding is she hasn't seen it.
23:40They've kept it from her to protect her feelings.
23:45Doesn't that tell you everything?
23:51I'd like you to arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister as soon as we're back.
23:57You'll think of her. Suitable pretext.
24:06Look! It's a whale! Where?
24:11Oh, good spot!
24:14Come back!
24:15No! Look at the way it's surfacing. It's a minky.
24:19Probably smell it before we see it again if we get any closer.
24:22Their blow smells of rotten cabbages.
24:24A stinky minky.
24:33Oh! There she is!
24:36Flader!
24:38There.
24:42Oh, yes!
24:44Like a bulrush out of a pond.
24:47Isn't she a beauty?
24:49You say so, dear.
24:53She's one of the last manned lighthouses in Scotland.
24:58Why don't we pay her a visit?
24:59Really? Must we?
25:01A bit of exercise is good for the figure.
25:03At our age, the weight does not stay off by itself.
25:06Come on.
25:06There.
25:08There.
25:17There.
25:19There.
25:19There.
25:38People wonder why I find lighthouses so inspiring
25:41when you get to a place like this.
25:55Are you a query?
25:57Tim?
25:58No, he's been with us for a while.
26:02How come I never noticed?
26:06Because you're married.
26:09Are you technically?
26:12What's he like?
26:16Reliable, sensible, agreeable.
26:18Hmm.
26:20I think we ought to get back to lighthouses.
26:25Those beacons of light in an otherwise black and hopeless night
26:30that reassure the lonely mariner they are not forgotten
26:34and will soon find land and home and hope.
26:56It appears there has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday.
27:00A clash of diaries, I understand.
27:03Yes, Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at the university.
27:06Shut up.
27:07There won't be any sharks.
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a diary conflict through no fault of mine
27:18and I have to get back.
27:20You're supposed to be here for two weeks.
27:21Yes, I know.
27:22Don't ever.
27:23The plans change.
27:25I have a commitment at Oxford University.
27:27It isn't the university.
27:30It's a summer school for tourists.
27:31It's not essential.
27:32It is to me.
27:36This is our holiday.
27:39It's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing,
27:44which is why I agreed to you bringing your friends along to entertain you.
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today,
27:50requested by your people so the lie could be paraded to the world's media
27:53about what an adoring husband you are on one condition.
27:55What's that?
27:56That you actually are one!
28:00That's my friend.
28:01That's my friend.
28:02That's my friend.
28:03I'll take care of you.
28:05I'll take care of you.
28:05Many people have not come here.
28:09Many people have not come here.
28:36I prefer to enjoy it.
28:39I'm so excited.
28:45Thank you for having me true.
28:49I'm so excited.
28:50I my friend was on this.
28:52I'm so excited.
28:52If you take care of yourself...
28:57I love you, sweetheart!
29:35...tens of thousands of British families.
29:38Repossessions are now at record levels.
29:40In the first half of this year, 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies.
29:48Go!
29:49I think there's a case for saying
29:55it's the most difficult economic recession since the war,
29:58and it has struck right across the economy.
30:01It's certainly been a very difficult year.
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:11Prime Minister.
30:14Your Royal Highness.
30:15So kind of you should come.
30:16Sir.
30:20Before we begin, I wonder,
30:22did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we were meeting?
30:25I don't believe so, sir.
30:27Probably for the best.
30:36There are two reasons I asked if I could see you today.
30:40The first, conserving our built heritage.
30:44I wonder, did you receive the copy of my book?
30:46I did.
30:48I don't suppose you found time to flick through it.
30:50Knowing we were meeting today, I made a point of it.
30:53Reading it, I'm sure you thought,
30:56what an old fogey.
30:58How stuck in the past he is with his loathing of
31:02modernism and change.
31:03Not at all.
31:05Why?
31:08You'd have been right to.
31:09I am fixated by the past.
31:12By tradition.
31:15Preserving it.
31:16Conserving it.
31:17But none of us is exclusively one thing.
31:19Human beings are too interesting for that.
31:21You yourself are full of fascinating contradictions.
31:25Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton,
31:27a multicultural, working-class part of London,
31:30and one might have expected you
31:32either to have concealed your past
31:34in order to fit in with the Tories
31:35or to have a more socialist viewpoint
31:38and become a rising star in the Labour Party.
31:40I have never felt that because of my background
31:43I should not be a conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:46You not only refuse to deny your contradictions,
31:49you don't see them as contradictions.
31:52I don't.
31:53Which makes you a far more interesting,
31:55more complex, more impressive person.
32:01And I hope that the same can be said of me.
32:09Which brings me to the second reason for our meeting.
32:12You saw the, uh...
32:15the recent poll
32:18and Sunday Times article about the Queen.
32:20I did.
32:22Queen Victoria Syndrome.
32:27What were your
32:30conclusions?
32:31It's just a poll, sir.
32:34True.
32:36Not a reassuring one.
32:38Polls come and go.
32:40Dangerous to ignore them.
32:42Equally dangerous to be guided by them.
32:55There must have been many...
32:58polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure.
33:03I'm sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever,
33:06but what makes the Conservative Party
33:08the successful electoral force that it is?
33:11Its instinct for renewal
33:13and its willingness to make way for someone younger.
33:19For almost 60 years,
33:22my great-great-grandfather, Edward VII,
33:25was kept waiting in the wings.
33:28It was said that Queen Victoria
33:30had no confidence in him,
33:32thought him dangerous,
33:34free-thinking.
33:38He longed
33:39to be given responsibilities,
33:42but his mother refused.
33:44Even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came,
33:51he proved his doubters wrong,
33:53and his dynamism,
33:55his intellect,
33:56his popular appeal
33:57made his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying...
34:04what a pity it was.
34:06What a waste.
34:08That his...
34:10voice, his-his...
34:12his presence, his vision
34:13wasn't incorporated earlier.
34:16It would have been so good.
34:19For everybody.
34:30You're coming to Balmoral?
34:32To the Ghillies Ball?
34:34Yes.
34:35Very much looking forward to it.
34:39Well, then you'll have an opportunity
34:41to, uh...
34:44judge for yourself
34:45whether this institution
34:46that we all care about
34:48so deeply
34:54is in safe hands.
35:02Now to my questions
35:03about our built heritage
35:04and rural planning regulations.
35:47I'll see you next time.
35:48I'll see you next time.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, there never disappoints me here.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:02You.
36:05Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We have, and I haven't strangled her yet,
36:09which is a miracle.
36:10God, well, then, darling.
36:11Here, Mummy.
36:13We had a lovely morning.
36:15We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk
36:19to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty?
36:21Doesn't she look pretty, Mummy?
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am.
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:46What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article
37:05in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:10Don't you think
37:10I ought to be the judge of that?
37:14Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:32Come on, Doctor.
37:33Come on, Nielsen.
37:36Oh, I'll do it.
37:52Oh, I'll do it.
37:53Hold on.
37:54Let's go.
38:22Good.
38:24Good.
38:25Good.
38:26Good.
39:20The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
39:23Prime Minister.
39:24Your Majesty.
39:26Tea.
39:28Did you come by train?
39:30Aeroplane, then car.
39:32Of course.
39:33You're a busy man.
39:34Every minute counts.
39:36But I'm a great believer in coming by sea.
39:38Instead of three hours door to door,
39:41it can take as long as two weeks on the war yacht.
39:45Wonderful way to decompress.
39:47And, as my great-great-grandmother, who started the Western Isles tour said,
39:53let time slow down so that one breathes freedom and peace,
39:58making one forget the world and its sad turmoil.
40:09I am aware the comparison between Queen Victoria and me has been made recently in the newspapers
40:14and intended as criticism.
40:16What people fail to understand is I see any similarity with Queen Victoria as a compliment.
40:23Attributes people use to describe her, constancy, stability, calm, duty.
40:30I would be proud to have described me.
40:34And speaking of the Royal Yacht, it has now become clear that a small refit, teeny tiny little refreshment and
40:41refurbishment is required to keep her in tip-top shape.
40:45I am aware the costs for its maintenance are borne by the government, not by the palace.
40:50And so here I am, coming to you, Prime Minister, on bended knee for the sign-off.
40:58But I'm hoping that will be a formality.
41:05I'm just mindful that before she left office, Mrs. Thatcher bequeathed the palace an extremely generous civil list settlement.
41:14A deal that leaves the royal family richer than ever before.
41:19Given that this deal was designed precisely to forestall any awkward public debate on royal spending,
41:26I feel bound to at least raise the question of whether there's a way you might consider bearing the cost
41:33yourselves.
41:35It's just with the royal yacht being perceived as something of a luxury,
41:39there is a danger the palace could be seen to be asking for too much.
41:43But she isn't a luxury.
41:44Isn't she?
41:45Prime Minister,
41:47there has always been a royal yacht going all the way back to King Charles II.
41:52She is a central and indispensable part of the way the Crown serves the nation.
41:57And the revenue she has generated doing so is incalculable.
42:00But we're in the midst of a global recession.
42:02Each penny of public spending is closely scrutinized.
42:08I worry that the government spending public money on the refurbishment of a yacht might backfire.
42:17On us both.
42:26When I came to the throne,
42:29all my palaces were inherited.
42:32Windsor,
42:33Balmoral,
42:34Sandringham.
42:34They all bear the stamp of my predecessors.
42:38Only Britannia have I truly been able to make my own.
42:43Perhaps for that reason,
42:45the connection between me and the yacht is very much deeper than a mode of transport or even a home.
42:52From the design of the hull to the smallest piece of China,
42:56she is a floating, seagoing expression of me.
43:07I hope we can agree that as sovereign,
43:09I have made very few requests,
43:11let alone demands,
43:12in return of the service I have given this country.
43:16Perhaps the reason I've held back is in the hope that when I actually do,
43:20people don't just take it seriously.
43:23They do as I ask without question.
43:27So, I would like this government's reassurance,
43:30your reassurance,
43:31that the costs for the refurbishments will be met
43:34and for you to inform me as soon as the arrangements are in place.
43:41I understand.
43:47Now,
43:48the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask,
43:52are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine into an independent European country.
43:59They want to break away from Moscow
44:01to turn their back on the leadership of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West in a bid to earn hard currency.
44:19The other Soviet republics have...
44:21To be made toNo...
44:27Go ahead.
44:35Who's the winner?
44:36They want me to touch towards your own fárg?
44:44I know.
44:44You марst nción
44:48It's enough to notice.
44:51All right,
45:27Our Majesty, the Queen.
45:43Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:45The honour would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You know you're my favourite.
45:53Oh, thanks.
45:54I'm in great.
45:55I'm in great.
45:55I know you're great.
45:57The main thing for me is my favourite.
45:59Here we go.
46:03I love it.
46:19But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the Royal Yacht to a cost-benefit equation.
46:25It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience.
46:31But I would argue a minor one.
46:34Next to the yacht's enduring role was a national symbol.
46:37And her importance to the Queen, personally.
46:42Boys, say goodnight to Mr. Major.
46:45Goodnight, sir.
46:46Goodnight, sir.
46:47Goodnight.
46:48Goodnight.
47:09Some local history for you, if you're interested.
47:12Of course.
47:13Queen Victoria held the first Gilles' Ball in 1852, and there's been one every year since.
47:21I see.
47:21It began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants, and has since developed into something of a
47:31Saturnalia, if you know your classics.
47:37Well, the rules are turned upside down for a day.
47:40Masters serving slaves, and all disciplinary measures suspended for the night.
47:53Thanks.
47:57I was just telling the Prime Minister that these things can get quite giddy.
48:02Not that I ever witness any of it.
48:04I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed.
48:07Can I count on you for a full report in the morning?
48:09You can, Your Majesty.
48:11Goodnight.
48:12Can you slip away?
48:14Our Majesty the Queen!
48:25I can't tell it!
48:27I can't tell it!
48:28I can't tell it!
48:28I can't tell it!
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today.
48:40I know I shouldn't ask, but, uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:47Sir?
48:48The, uh, the refit to Britannia.
48:52That is what she asked you for.
48:54Sir?
48:57Sometimes these old things, uh, they're too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:10I can't.
49:11Not yet.
49:12Will you dance with me before I scream?
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow back to normality.
49:22Now I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you've just had a lovely family holiday.
49:26You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of the family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:36And look.
49:37Anne and Mark.
49:39Look at Andrew and Sarah.
49:42Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:57And then...
50:01Yes!
50:04Your presentation here.
50:06This is what it hurts.
50:07It hurts.
50:19What do you mean?
50:21No.
50:22Right.
50:24Anyone?
50:25Come on, right now.
50:27Fuck!
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with as Prime Minister,
50:42you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs,
50:46the economy in free fall,
50:49going to war,
50:52you never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be
51:00binding the nation together,
51:03setting an example of idealized family life.
51:07Instead,
51:08the senior royals seem
51:10dangerously deluded,
51:12and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals.
51:19Feckless,
51:20entitled,
51:21and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales,
51:26impatient for a bigger role in public life,
51:28fails to appreciate
51:29that his one great asset
51:31is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help
51:36but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse
51:43is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
52:19droopeth who owned a place
52:20who now has commanded
52:20to their lives.
