00:00:28Satsang with Mooji
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:24Hold it.
00:02:38And he's going to take it.
00:02:41I don't know.
00:02:41You're going to take it.
00:02:42I don't know.
00:02:42Hold it.
00:02:47You're going to take it.
00:02:50Come on.
00:03:18Here it is.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:45Freedom in a country of his choice and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:04It's easy to read.
00:04:21All right.
00:04:22All right.
00:04:22Good to see you.
00:04:23Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:26Good to see you.
00:04:34Oh, my God.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:32Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the King.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day.
00:06:32Winston. Ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest?
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:07:20We may lose the greatest shame upon this family.
00:07:21We must found massage.
00:07:38We may see the
00:08:13The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain
00:08:19of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Graham. Graham, who wears a slate gray suit and a modest tie,
00:08:26makes his address from a purple draped platform.
00:08:29The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong. We have all gone astray. With everyone turned to his own
00:08:40way, and when you turn to your own way...
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age. Precisely. A child. I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone
00:08:57with a little knife experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04There's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:07But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:12Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14People of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope. Hope for the individual. Hope for society. Hope
00:09:38for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves from an American zealot. He's not a zealot. He's shouting, darling. Any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Trooper, happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday to you.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Brother.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:48Ah!
00:10:50No!
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me!
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique!
00:11:22Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48I have some fish.
00:11:58Honey!
00:12:03All rights!
00:12:04Uh huh!
00:12:04I love you!
00:12:10I love you, honey!
00:12:15Bye-bye!
00:12:16I love you.
00:12:16Bye-bye!
00:12:17Bye-bye!
00:12:17Bye-bye!
00:12:17Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me.
00:12:57The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens.
00:13:03Then at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice, who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:37The third of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:59The evangelist, ma'am.
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:26that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37...crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Hmm.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of public eye.
00:16:22The further, the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that pen book?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:04Monsieur Albert.
00:17:07Yes, sir.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:37Sir, are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:03That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the US State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't.
00:18:16It's the US State Department.
00:18:19It's the US State Department.
00:18:21It's the US State Department.
00:18:21It's the US State Department.
00:18:25My dearest, darling, Peaches.
00:18:28Let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too, common and uninteresting people, pestering me to join them for drinks or
00:18:44play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters, who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse, as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab
00:19:14little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Rosie.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:25Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:56I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign, gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:11Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American Ambassador, and the Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:06Can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:28Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on, I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes, floor brushes, toothbrushes.
00:21:32Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49What is a Christian?
00:21:50The Bible tells us, Colossians 127 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty, and you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide it.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I ever spoke in public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural, that of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29Did you?
00:24:34I did.
00:25:39If the Reverend Graham is the Crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong with you.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing you.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:08Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plot as all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abounds?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:31Sir.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:27:00That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my...
00:27:03Council of War.
00:27:05My...
00:27:05My brains trust.
00:27:08Politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I've much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man with charm.
00:27:43Contacts.
00:27:44Influence.
00:27:44And the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:05Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have.
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now, all I must do is wait while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:29:08I would say wait and pray.
00:29:08The banality of those exchanges.
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls.
00:29:21And for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:26I can truthfully say all is well.
00:29:30Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You're right to go in.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennett,
00:29:54the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material
00:30:06which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:26The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files!
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt near Eisenhower in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:35Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man, Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his officers were being evacuated, Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, Von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret
00:32:17papers which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And Von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:34hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which Von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files be published.
00:33:47And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:57I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:31I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:45I don't know.
00:35:14I don't know.
00:35:34And having given the matter careful thought, it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:05His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the foreign secretary today.
00:36:38Who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:19Your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:01Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:26Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter, a job, that while I'm clearly no longer a young man,
00:38:36I'm also not yet an old one, and might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country, the greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish to
00:38:56serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway, one or two ideas came up for jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government, and I've
00:39:17been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner, working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon.
00:40:18During the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:24Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:29Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications.
00:40:46Detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:55As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:05contracts and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything alright?
00:43:30can i ask your opinion of course what about forgiveness what have i done now no not you
00:43:43uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man

00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you
00:44:22what and tell him of your proposed course of action i can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28why not well he's retired for one thing go and see him in an unofficial capacity for
00:44:35sherry or tea or human blood whatever that monster drinks and ask him about your uncle
00:44:43he was his private secretary while he was king he knows everything there is to know
00:44:47what and tell him oh
00:45:16i can't see him over there
00:45:17i can't see him
00:45:17he can't see him
00:45:26Your Majesty.
00:45:28Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:42Ah, yes, those uniforms.
00:45:4519th century.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo.
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:58Oh.
00:46:00These?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Paikinham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely.
00:46:06Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:15Yes.
00:46:24I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life.
00:46:31And as an example of a Christian in a Christian country.
00:46:35To forgive.
00:46:39Your Majesty, that would, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:51Before you make your decision, ma'am, I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg Files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:05Yes, ma'am.
00:47:09The Duke of Windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king.
00:47:14Surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive
00:47:32me, ma'am, with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
00:47:54It became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box.
00:48:00But we needn't have worried.
00:48:02Because then we had the application.
00:48:09Having promised to retire from public life, we now know that he had no such intention.
00:48:15Why else would the pair of them decide to visit Hitler in Germany?
00:48:29The Fuhrer had labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:32So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip at the home of Herr Hess that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as king of England, effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father,
00:48:54in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe.
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion, if necessary, and there were visits to SS training schools
00:49:10and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13And, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:27Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34When a German aircraft crashed in Belgium, carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of France, the Duke wasted
00:49:42no time in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information,
00:49:49which gave Germany time to change its plans, and in less than a month, Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all, the Duke told the German government that resolve in the United Kingdom in the face
00:50:08of the German aerial bombardment was weakening,
00:50:10and that continued bombing, that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects, would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:15God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now, you may be out with Legion T.
00:51:20We're fine.
00:51:21Culture, a church member, a good standing in the community, but it's your heart and heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you, and weighing it all up,
00:51:45the amount of time that has passed,
00:51:49and my affection for you, personally, all spoke in its favor.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:09that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who's fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your mother?
00:52:34No.
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's?
00:52:38I came to my own mind.
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own.
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and that's why they threw me out.
00:52:48Fine.
00:52:50I will go.
00:52:53But let me ask you this.
00:52:56Who has done more damage to the monarchy,
00:52:59me with my willfulness,
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes,
00:53:10our ears,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications,
00:53:18as cruel chatter,
00:53:19in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:22But when the truth finally came out,
00:53:25the truth,
00:53:29it makes a mockery of even the central tenets of Christianity.
00:53:33There is no possibility of my forgiving you.
00:53:36The question is,
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:53:40better off our sin.
00:54:07Safety
00:54:07No Viper
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:30Your majesty?
00:55:34You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:39But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Amen.
00:57:32Amen.
00:57:34Amen.
00:57:35Amen.
00:57:42Amen.
00:57:45Amen.
00:57:45Amen.
00:57:46Amen.
00:57:47Amen.
00:57:47Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:49Amen.
00:57:50Amen.
00:57:52Amen.
00:57:57Amen.
