00:12C'est bon, c'est bon C'est bon, c'est bon C'est bon, c'est bon
00:22Lovers say that in France C'est bon, c'est bon
00:28C'est bon, c'est bon
00:30It means that it's so good
00:34Ah, c'est bon
00:36C'est bon, c'est bon
00:38So I say it to you
00:40C'est bon, c'est bon
00:42Like the French people do
00:44C'est bon, c'est bon
00:46Because it's all so good
00:48I wonder how many of them are aware of the tension
00:51Every word
00:53Some of these people are paid a thousand pounds
00:55Every ticket
00:58All that remains for the performance
01:00The old lemon cloud
01:03Man is this there
01:06Ah, it's so good
01:10Now the elf characters around the court
01:14The queen, we're told, is just the best of the way
01:23The queen, the real star of tonight
01:27Steps out onto the red carpet
01:28To be greeted by the much-loved theatrical impresario of Delphont
01:32President of the entertainment artist Benevolent Fun
01:35For tonight is the night
01:38When the world of show business and royalty come together for a good call
01:42For you, Annette
01:44From the challenge
01:46Dinner's getting ready
01:47Have anyone got my own
01:50Right, then, George
01:52And now
01:53The national anthem
02:01Oh, it's started, has it?
02:05Oh, it's started, has it?
02:13Right, then, Catherine
02:14Here you are
02:16And you, Nerissa
02:23Swirland
02:25Well done
02:32Bedtime
02:36And you, Nerissa
02:53And you, Nerissa
02:55And you, Nerissa
02:56And you, Nerissa
02:58And you, Nerissa
03:01And you, Nerissa
03:01And you, Nerissa
03:02And you, Nerissa
03:02And you, Nerissa
03:03And you, Nerissa
03:03And you, Nerissa
03:04And you, Nerissa
03:04And you, Nerissa
03:04And you, Nerissa
05:23I've come tonight with a gift.
05:25Oh.
05:27Gossip.
05:28My favorite.
05:30Is it wicked?
05:32Very.
05:33Is it about someone famous?
05:36Yes.
05:37But I must ask you to keep it a secret.
05:39No.
05:40Do be quiet.
05:42I'll be the judge of that when I hear it.
05:44Ma'am.
05:45Devil.
05:45You're not taking this seriously.
05:48How can you tell?
05:51This is a huge secret.
05:53It's virtually a state secret.
05:56I'm...
05:57I'm...
05:58I'm all ears.
06:00And eyes.
06:02And lips.
06:03All right.
06:05Did you say lips?
06:13Are you feeling naughty?
06:16Yes.
06:16I can see that.
06:18Mm-hmm.
06:23Ma'am.
06:24I have greatly enjoyed the last few months.
06:28And the closeness that has developed between us.
06:31Not closeness.
06:32Intimacy.
06:33Oh, God.
06:38Please.
06:58There was a time when the men I loved would simply leave me for other women.
07:03Now they're leaving for the church.
07:05Who?
07:06Derek Jennings.
07:07It was Dazzle.
07:08Yes.
07:09Dazzle.
07:10What were we doing with him?
07:12Falling...
07:13slightly in love?
07:15Oh, Margaret.
07:16Mm.
07:17Colin Tennant said we were the two most impossible people.
07:20He knew that we should be kept apart at all costs in the interests of public safety.
07:25Like nitrogen and glycerin.
07:27But...
07:28He's so handsome.
07:30Yes.
07:31Has an unkind word for everyone.
07:34Which I adore.
07:37And touching vulnerability.
07:42And because he has found happiness as elusive as me, so we discuss all the different kinds of ways that
07:50we try to find joy and calm.
07:53A good brisk walk, I say.
07:54Hmm.
07:55Yes.
07:55That might work for you.
07:57It does.
07:57Every time.
07:58But it might not be enough for the rest of us.
08:02And Dazzle has found the thing that works best for him.
08:08Hmm.
08:08Which is?
08:10The priesthood.
08:11Catholic priesthood.
08:12Yes.
08:13Well, that's the second reason he was never the right man for you.
08:19The first being?
08:22Well, he's, you know.
08:24A friend of Dorothy.
08:27Dazzle.
08:27Famously, yes.
08:29You sure?
08:31But the way he looks at me sometimes.
08:34Hmm.
08:35Describe that.
08:36With great, big, adoring eyes.
08:39I think you'll find that's because you're a royal princess and he's a raging snob.
08:45Am I that stupid?
08:48Or desperate?
08:50I don't like the sound of that cough.
08:52That's fine.
08:53And you've been struggling with your chest for a while.
08:55I should have realized when I kept suggesting going to the opera.
08:58Cough.
08:59Cough.
09:01Cough.
09:01Cough.
09:22Princess Margaret is undergoing investigative surgery at the Royal Brumpton Hospital.
09:27The 54-year-old princess, who was admitted this afternoon, is unlikely to learn the results
09:32of those procedures for several days.
09:34But royal sources say she has not been suffering from any specific ailment.
09:38The hospital has declined to release any further details on the princess's condition.
09:42It's thought that Princess Margaret was smoking as many as 60 cigarettes a day,
09:46and that, of course, would go against any medical advice.
09:47I think we'll switch this off, shall we?
09:49Princess Margaret will be fine.
09:51Princess Margaret will be fine.
09:54Princess Margaret is in good hands.
09:58All right, Catherine.
09:59John.
10:00Come on.
10:00Why don't I say that?
10:01Don't be difficult now.
10:03Come on.
10:04Come on.
10:04Right.
10:05Come on.
10:06It's bedside.
10:06Donnie needs to go to bed now, doesn't she?
10:11All together.
10:13We're all prepared as well.
10:15This one.
10:16Ready, guys.
10:17Catherine, you're this one.
10:19What?
10:24Yeah.
10:25I, I'm the one.
10:26One, four.
10:34All together.
10:48You're estas yippee
10:55Happy birthday to you.
11:00Happy birthday to you.
11:05Happy birthday to everyone.
11:10Happy birthday to you.
11:22Happy birthday, Patrick.
11:24Children-wise, we seem to do things in twos in this family.
11:28I can honestly say I never wanted four.
11:31A brace would have been quite enough for me.
11:33But the boss put her foot down after a tough negotiation on the yacht in Lisbon in a storm.
11:41Do you remember?
11:42Yes, I do.
11:44Along came another two.
11:47The B team.
11:48It's the second eleven.
11:50Who have been very special.
11:52Not that the first lot aren't special, but they were expected, I suppose.
11:56Duty.
11:57Whereas the second lot came out of...
12:01I was going to say pleasure, but that's maybe not the right word.
12:04Judging by Anne's face.
12:07That's the word I'm looking for.
12:09Joy?
12:10Exactly.
12:11Joy.
12:13They were conceived in reconciliation.
12:16And they have bound us all together and brought great joy.
12:21So please, raise your glasses.
12:27Oh, Margot.
12:31Many, many happy returns to...
12:35I'm sorry, what's your name again?
12:38The runt of the litter.
12:40Dear Edward.
12:41Happy birthday.
13:05I remember the day that one was christened.
13:09I remember the day that one was christened.
13:12And there's a photograph of us both with our babies.
13:15Yes.
13:16You were holding yours as if it were a bomb.
13:21You're looking terribly glum, having just had another huge row with Tony.
13:26He was never the right man for you.
13:28Well, I've come to the view that there is no right man for me.
13:32You don't see that.
13:33No, it's true.
13:34Love is a tender kiss for most people.
13:37For me, she saves her sharpest ex.
13:41Well, I am ready for a new chapter.
13:45Without men.
13:48Without cigarettes.
13:51Without...
13:58I'm finally ready
14:00to focus on the one thing
14:02that won't let me down.
14:04What's that?
14:05Us.
14:06My position as a royal.
14:09My duty.
14:11So,
14:12I come
14:13on bended knee
14:15with a familiar request.
14:18Give me
14:19as much responsibility
14:21as you can.
14:22As many jobs,
14:23as much work.
14:25What your sister needs
14:27to stay afloat
14:30is a sense of meaning.
14:36Mm-hmm.
14:41Do you know what he's doing?
14:43Look ridiculous.
15:16Hello, you.
15:18Hello, you.
15:22And hello, him.
15:24Your Royal Highness.
15:25We're not interrupting, are we?
15:26No, not at all.
15:27Renee is
15:28coming at noon.
15:30Oh, a new bow?
15:31No, a new hairdresser.
15:34Another friend of Dorothy's.
15:36Ah.
15:37Other than that,
15:39nothing.
15:39No.
15:41The day stretches before me
15:43like a great
15:44yawning void.
15:50So,
15:54what do you want?
15:57Can't be good news,
15:58or you wouldn't have
15:59brought Lurch.
16:03Ma'am,
16:04we've come to talk to you
16:05about the 1937
16:06Regency Act,
16:08which created
16:09a list of senior royals
16:10who could be
16:11called on to deputise
16:12for the monarch
16:13on formal occasions.
16:15Yes, I know all about that.
16:17I've been stepping in
16:17for half a year.
16:19Yeah.
16:21But there is a
16:23specific number
16:24of those senior royals,
16:25just six.
16:28Go on.
16:29Well, the recent
16:3021st birthday
16:31of Prince Edward
16:32means that he is now
16:33of age,
16:35and as a child
16:37of the sovereigns,
16:39well,
16:40he ranks higher
16:41than you
16:41in the line
16:42of succession.
16:44And you will,
16:45therefore,
16:46be required
16:46to relinquish
16:47your role
16:48as Councillor of State.
16:55Don't take that away
16:56from me.
16:56It's all I've got.
16:57Oh, Margaret.
16:58It makes no sense.
17:00I have the maturity.
17:01I have the wisdom,
17:02not to mention
17:03the experience.
17:04Edward's a boy.
17:06He's an immature,
17:07useless boy.
17:08Yes, that may be,
17:08but we all have to
17:09play by the rules.
17:11You will have time
17:12to concentrate
17:13on your convalescence.
17:15Would you leave us, please?
17:19Leave us.
17:38I don't want
17:40more time.
17:42Don't you
17:43see?
17:46Time.
17:47It scares me.
17:49It fills me
17:50with dread.
17:53I want...
17:56I want something
17:57to fill it with.
17:59Will you still
18:00have your interests?
18:01Oh, please!
18:03And your friends?
18:04Friends?
18:06The ones worth
18:07knowing that
18:08they're fed up
18:09with me.
18:09Your charities?
18:10Charities?
18:11They don't want me either.
18:13No, not now.
18:14We have the
18:15Princess of Wales.
18:16She's younger.
18:18She's nicer.
18:18prettier.
18:20No, nobody wants this.
18:22Oh, Marco.
18:24I asked you
18:25for just one thing.
18:27To give me work.
18:29A purpose.
18:30Dignity.
18:31Yes, and if it were up to me,
18:33I would have given it
18:33all to you.
18:35The whole show.
18:36Gladly.
18:36From day one.
18:37But it's not.
18:40So we have to live with it.
18:41No.
18:41I will have to live with it.
18:43Not you.
18:44I will.
18:44No.
19:00I love you.
19:02I love you.
19:14I think it's true.
19:14I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
19:54Hello.
19:56Oh!
19:58Anne.
20:00Welcome now.
20:04Everything all right?
20:06No.
20:19Now, it turns out my objection for Marcus is, of course, a terrible statement on the board of directors.
20:24What board of directors, I hear you sensitively ask.
20:28Because the undisputed company needs a board of directors to run it.
20:31Have you ever heard anything so absurd?
20:34It's always interesting.
20:36Huh?
21:04Not for
21:05It is easy to pause here.
22:05Mm-hmm.
22:07Mm-hmm.
22:08Mm-hmm.
22:09Mm-hmm.
22:12Ma'am?
22:17Ta-da!
22:19All dry.
22:22Lunch?
22:34What a wonderful spot.
22:37You should have seen it in this heyday.
22:40It's rather sad now.
22:41It's neglected, gone to seed.
22:45Look at these heliconias.
22:50Is that silk codpin tree?
22:52Hm?
22:53Yes.
22:55The challenge for any gardener is the pruning.
22:59You need very nimble seeds.
23:03Roddy.
23:07The garden or the neglect?
23:10Sadly.
23:12Both.
23:12Yes.
23:33Diana's pregnant again.
23:37Congratulations.
23:44Which one might imagine would lift this spirit.
23:47Instead, an even deeper gloom seems to have descended on both of us.
23:52We hardly see one another anymore.
23:54And when we do, we quarrel more than ever.
23:59It's so depressing.
24:01And corrosive.
24:03Oh.
24:06And it's left me with no option but to start seeing someone.
24:10Yes.
24:11I think we all know about that.
24:12No.
24:12Not Camilla.
24:13I meant a professional.
24:18A therapist to help with the moods.
24:20A head shrinker.
24:23But, Margaret, you can't call him that.
24:26Has it helped?
24:27Well, it hasn't made things worse.
24:29Hm.
24:30Not much of an endorsement.
24:33The reason I bring it up is, I promised Anne that I would urge you to try seeing someone
24:39too.
24:40Are you both ganging up on me?
24:42We both care.
24:45Why not try when you're back in London?
24:47Anne thinks she's found someone good.
24:57It's outrageous that I, in HRH, should travel to see her.
25:02I gather it's part of the process that the patient accepts that they are the patient.
25:10Apparently, the healing cannot start until the grandiosity is diminished.
25:15What grandiosity?
25:16I'm so far down the royal pecking order these days, I'm virtually untouchable.
25:21Here we are.
25:35I had therapy once before, in the early days of my marriage to Lord Snowden.
25:42The problem we face is I'm, well, I'm so opposed to all of this, I find it so pathetic.
25:48Violet's everything I was brought up to believe.
25:49What were you brought up to believe?
25:52Self-pity won't get you very far.
25:56Just got to get on with it.
25:59Well, that's a very common attitude.
26:01It's also quite an old-fashioned attitude.
26:04Did you just call me common?
26:05And old?
26:09Because that would not be a good way to start.
26:16So, what made you want to try again?
26:19Ma'am.
26:20Ma'am?
26:37Because, well, I'm ashamed to say I've been feeling a little low for a while now.
26:49And this current slump seems to have resisted every attempt I've made to muscle through.
27:02Are you aware of anyone else in your immediate family struggling with mental health issues?
27:14Prince of Wales, he has his ups and downs.
27:17I wouldn't say that's a condition.
27:19That's just marriage.
27:22The Duke of Gloucester.
27:24My uncle.
27:26He got low.
27:27From time to time.
27:29I only ask because I am aware, through professional colleagues, of the sisters.
27:37Sisters?
27:40What sisters?
27:41What sisters?
27:43That's when she told me about our cousins.
27:46Our first cousins.
27:47Catherine and Arissa.
27:48Bose Lyon.
27:50Third and fifth daughters.
27:52Mummy's favourite elder brother.
27:53Uncle Jock.
27:54Being locked up in the Earlswood Institution.
27:58Mental defectives, if you please.
28:00In Redhill.
28:00I remember hearing about Catherine and Arissa.
28:03And their terrible problems.
28:06But they're long dead.
28:09It's my understanding they're both very much alive.
28:13But we can check.
28:15What are you doing?
28:16That's my button.
28:20Ah, here we are.
28:21It works.
28:24Let me do that.
28:26I'll do that.
28:26No, I'm fine.
28:35There we are.
28:36Oh, heavy.
28:43Catch.
28:44Do what you do.
28:45Not funny.
28:46Go carefully.
28:58Oh, yes.
28:59Look, here it is.
29:00Nerissa.
29:01Deceased.
29:021940.
29:04Catherine.
29:04Deceased.
29:051961.
29:06There it is in black and white.
29:07Both died long ago.
29:10Oh, strange.
29:18Not here.
29:20Alison.
29:25Who was it?
29:27Mr. Jennings, ma'am.
29:29Dazzle.
29:31What did he want?
29:32To let you know that he was going to be in London next week for a few days.
29:36In case you had any time.
29:40No.
29:51Dazzle.
29:54You're not praying, are you?
29:55I am.
29:57I am.
29:57I am.
29:58Master Gretchen.
29:58When was the last time you drove a car?
30:00I'm tired of the time.
30:02Well, maybe not this particular model.
30:05Anyway, you're a fine one to talk.
30:07You can't drive at all.
30:09I recognize my limitations.
30:12Well, I'd have been happier for the chauffeur to drive us, but then...
30:15What are you doing?
30:17Well, then we wouldn't have been alone.
30:18Why is it so important that we're alone?
30:43If someone asks me who I am...
30:46They won't.
30:46You're a priest.
30:47But I'm not.
30:48Not yet.
30:49I'm still just a seminarian.
30:50They don't know that.
30:52You still look suitably clerical and beyond suspicion.
30:55Feels wrong, ma'am.
30:57Deceitful.
30:59You can always confess later.
31:01Now go.
31:10Fle Cisco just for one.
31:15Here we go.
31:16Fiveожалуйста.
31:16One more.
31:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
31:18Let's try.
31:19All right, bear!
31:21Here and then, go.
31:22Just wait here.
31:24No, come.
31:24We're back, too.
31:27No, come today.
31:28No, no, scat.
31:29No!
31:29Come on!
31:33No, no, no!
32:08They are alive, ma'am.
32:10You saw them?
32:11I did.
32:15How were they?
32:20They are like children, ma'am.
32:23But they know who you are.
32:26And they know who your sister is.
32:30They have pictures of the whole family.
32:33Which they know is their family.
32:40Love that one, don't you?
32:42Oh, yes.
32:43Keeps it in pride of play, she does.
32:48Oh.
32:55Shall I get your cousins to say hello?
32:57Did you say cousins?
33:00Hello.
33:01Hello.
33:02And there are more.
33:06More what?
33:09More relatives, cousins of theirs, equally afflicted.
33:16Let's see.
33:17Sit down here.
33:18Let's go.
33:19All family together.
33:21All family.
33:22I hope so.
33:25And there are people.
33:26Thank you, darling.
33:26MUSIC CONTINUES
33:56Not hungry?
33:58Oh, we're starving. We've all been for long walks this morning.
34:02Well, you and I are about to go for another.
34:06You don't mind if I steal her away, do you?
34:09No, not at all.
34:16Five! Five, Mummy!
34:19Five members of our close family locked up and neglected.
34:23What do you expect us to do?
34:25Behave like human beings.
34:26Don't be so naive. We had no choice.
34:30They're your nieces.
34:33Daughters of your favourite brother.
34:34They were unwell.
34:36Aunt Vanella was overwhelmed.
34:38And then the way things suddenly changed for all of us.
34:41None of us could have foreseen it.
34:42It was it.
34:44Well, the abdication...
34:44They're not everything that is wrong with this family can be explained away by the abdication.
34:50But the abdication did change everything.
34:53You were too young to understand everything.
35:03It's complicated.
35:05No, it's not.
35:05It's wicked.
35:07It's cold-hearted.
35:09It's cruel.
35:10It's entirely in keeping with the ruthlessness I myself have experienced in this family.
35:17If you're not first in mind, if you're an individual character with individual needs, and God forbid, in a regular
35:25temperament.
35:27If you don't fit the perfect mould and silent, dutiful supplication, then you'll be spat out, or you'll be hidden
35:37away, or worse, declared dead.
35:41Darwin had nothing on you lot.
35:44Shame on all of you.
35:45Margaret.
35:46No.
35:48Margaret!
36:14If I try to explain, will you at least listen?
36:31The fact is, the moment that man, your perfidious uncle, abdicated the throne, it really did change everything overnight.
36:44I went from being wife of the Duke of York, leading a relatively normal life, to being queen, and wife
36:55of a king emperor.
36:58At the same time, my family, the Bowes-Lyons, went from being minor Scottish aristocrats, to having a direct bloodline
37:09to the crown, resulting in the children of my brother.
37:15Catherine.
37:17And Nerissa.
37:18And their first cousins.
37:20Edonia.
37:22Etheldrida.
37:24And Rosemary.
37:26Yes.
37:29Paying a terrible price.
37:34Why?
37:36Because their illness, their imbecility...
37:41They don't use those words.
37:43Their professionally diagnosed idiocy and imbecility would make people question the integrity of the bloodline.
37:53What?
37:55Can you imagine the headlines if it were to get out?
37:58What people would say?
38:00The hereditary principle already hangs by such a precarious threat.
38:06Throw in mental illness.
38:08And it's over.
38:12The idea that one family alone has the automatic birthright to the crown is already so hard to justify.
38:22The gene pool of that family had better have 100% purity.
38:32There have been enough examples on the Windsor side alone to worry people.
38:38King George III, Prince John, your uncle.
38:43If you add the Bowes-Lyons illnesses to that, the danger is it becomes untenable.
39:09It's all a family disease, isn't it?
39:13When they tell you you can't marry.
39:17When they strip away your official role.
39:21When they side with your husband as your marriage falls apart.
39:26And now this, this final insult.
39:35That every diminishment, every rotten misfortune is written in my blood.
39:55So, without tiptoeing to protect me, or dressing things up, tell me the truth.
40:05As well as being born second, am I destined to be mad too?
40:14No, ma'am.
40:18When I heard you'd made the appointment to come today, I did a little research.
40:25Now, the genetic fault responsible for your cousin's condition seems to have descended from their common maternal grandfather, Charles Trefusis,
40:3621st Baron Clinton.
40:39This suggests that the recessive gene responsible for their condition lies with the Clinton family.
40:46So how did it get to the Bowes-Lyon family?
40:49Through your aunt, Vanella, born Clinton, who married John Bowes-Lyon.
40:57Uncle Jock.
40:57What your cousins suffer from is a severe developmental disorder.
41:02Whatever issues you may or may not be facing, that's not the same thing at all.
41:07It hasn't somehow passed to my mother, Queen Elizabeth?
41:12No.
41:13Then, if they didn't threaten the integrity of the royal family, the girls need never have been hidden away.
41:23And what my family did was unforgivable.
41:45Anyway, she prescribed medication, psychotherapy, and increased exercise.
41:56I'd be suggesting giving up alcohol soon.
41:58Giving up alcohol?
42:00You could always just convert and come over to Rome.
42:04Dazzle.
42:05The only thing that's worked for me lifted my spirits.
42:09Before I became Catholic, I attended church.
42:12After I converted, I found a faith.
42:14The difference is night and day.
42:16Oh, now you're being evangelical.
42:17I feel evangelical.
42:18It's not just the beauty, it's the rigor of the Catholic Church.
42:22It demands complete submission, which strong, willful characters like mine,
42:27and I would suggest yours, ma'am, need.
42:31One cannot fully receive God until one has submitted to something larger.
42:36And the moment I did...
42:38Don't tell me.
42:39The lights went on.
42:40You found happiness.
42:42More than happiness.
42:46Ecstasy.
42:47And the gloom we talked about so many times.
42:52The emptiness...
42:54has gone.
42:59How nice.
43:01So come over.
43:05I would.
43:06But, in case you hadn't noticed, Dazzle, I've already submitted to something larger.
43:12The Royal Family of the United Kingdom.
43:14If I became Catholic, it would be a national scandal.
43:19There would be talk of betrayal.
43:21Second Reformation.
43:23No, they'd make me give up my title and kick me out.
43:27Would that be so bad?
43:29To free yourself once and for all.
43:32To find happiness.
43:35Why would I?
43:36The title, my seniority, the proximity to the crown, is my happiness.
43:42It's who I am.
43:43I don't expect you to understand.
43:45No, I don't understand.
43:46You've just discovered terrible things about your family.
43:50A system that ignored five members of its own to protect itself.
43:53Will that same system protect you?
43:55No.
43:56It doesn't protect anything except the center.
43:59Those away from the center...
44:01But I am in the center.
44:02I am in the very center.
44:05I am the queen's sister.
44:07Daughter to a king emperor.
44:09And I will always be in the center.
44:15Now go, dazzle.
44:19Back to your ecstatic new family.
44:21And I will struggle on in mine.
44:28And I think it would be better if we don't see one another again.
44:41And...
44:44Should you ever...
44:46Find a moment...
44:49Perhaps you will pray for me.
44:52I will.
44:53Go.
45:00Go wrong, Highness.
45:23Go to...
45:24That Til...
45:24Oh, my God.
45:25It all kapkou she's started from...
45:28I know the broken sky.
45:32I've gotten feeling like I'm falling
45:35And you're losing it back.
