00:00:00You
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.
00:02:18We got something.
00:02:32You're not working.
00:02:33You're not working.
00:02:35You're not working.
00:02:37You're working.
00:02:37I don't know.
00:03:17I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom 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.
00:04:21Come on.
00:04:23Let's see how good it is.
00:05:17Don't you knock.
00:05:18Let's see how good it is.
00:05:39Let's see how good it is.
00:05:44Let's see how good it is.
00:05:48Let's see how good it is.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day, Winston, ever.
00:06:34The publication 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.
00:07:22Let's see how good it is.
00:07:23Let's see how good it is.
00:07:28Let's see how good it is.
00:07:29Let's see how good it is.
00:07:46Let's see how good it is.
00:08:12The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000
00:08:18for the first meeting in Britain of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Gray.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped
00:08:29platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way, and when you turn to your own way, it's rare and not
00:08:43entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:47He's not young.
00:08:50He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely.
00:08:52A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little knife
00:08:58experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04What?
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.
00:09:14The people 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
00:09:24and shops and live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:35Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He'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
00:09:52own ideas to the 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.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:23Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:48Ah!
00:10:50No.
00:10:50Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me.
00:10:54It's me.
00:10:55No, I don't.
00:10:56It's all.
00:10:57No.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique! Buffet!
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.
00:11:57I don't have it.
00:11:59I don't have it.
00:12:02I don't have it.
00:12:15All my sleep and everything is good.
00:12:17So fun.
00:12:19Yeah, I want the two boys.
00:12:23And then, in the backyard.
00:12:24I'll just show you a happy hour of the night.
00:12:24After the brain has had-
00:12:52Would you like to know
00:12:53what 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,
00:13:01then 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,
00:13:12but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:23My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me
00:13:33is 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?
00:13:42I simply have to go to London
00:13:46to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else
00:13:49is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country,
00:13:54let 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,
00:14:03important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth,
00:14:07advocates of justice
00:14:08who could mobilize opinion,
00:14:12start a campaign,
00:14:15to have a former king
00:14:16be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am,
00:14:32from the government
00:14:32for you to open
00:14:33the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start of June
00:14:38was 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
00:14:53Reverend Graham,
00:14:55do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need
00:15:06to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine
00:15:12an invitation being extended
00:15:14to preach
00:15:16at All Saints Chapel at Windsor
00:15:18and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:27that any invitation to
00:15:28or association with
00:15:30Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived
00:15:32as an endorsement of his
00:15:37crusades
00:15:37which would not be compatible
00:15:39with your role
00:15:40as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle
00:15:42it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness
00:15:49the Duke of Windsor
00:15:51has written
00:15:51with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed
00:15:57to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book
00:16:00which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How'd he be a 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
00:16:12stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending
00:16:14to stay with his friend,
00:16:15Major Metcalf.
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 the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better
00:16:23if 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.
00:16:52Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish
00:16:57that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:04Monsieur
00:17:06Orbert.
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians,
00:17:47we have a duty
00:17:48to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise,
00:17:53what 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.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department
00:18:06duplicate files,
00:18:07including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop
00:18:11the American government publishing
00:18:12if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling peaches,
00:18:27let us hope the rest of the trip
00:18:30is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing
00:18:34due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat
00:18:38was dreadful too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people,
00:18:41pestering me to join them
00:18:43for drinks
00:18:43or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London,
00:18:49my mood was lifted slightly
00:18:51by a large group
00:18:52of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58and my niece,
00:18:59the Queen,
00:19:01sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening,
00:19:08I feared things
00:19:09would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at Fruity's
00:19:13rather drab little house
00:19:14somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Fruity.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:26Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba, dear.
00:19:27But George excelled,
00:19:29as ever,
00:19:30and revealed the work
00:19:31he had already done.
00:19:32Of course,
00:19:33the true purpose of the visit
00:19:34can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind
00:19:37of any job hunting
00:19:38by His Royal Highness,
00:19:39it might be seen
00:19:40as a violation
00:19:42of the agreement
00:19:42made after the application.
00:19:43And His Royal Highness
00:19:45might find himself
00:19:46not only being asked
00:19:47to leave the country,
00:19:48but also without a pension.
00:19:51So,
00:19:52this trip must be perceived
00:19:54first and foremost
00:19:55as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding,
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends
00:20:08and supporters
00:20:09and the only indications
00:20:10are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monkton
00:20:13has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses
00:20:15from Lord Salisbury,
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook,
00:20:18Lord Dudley,
00:20:18the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the Foreign Secretary,
00:20:22Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh,
00:20:24Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold
00:20:27a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Thank you very much.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and 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
00:21:20in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about
00:21:36what to preach about today,
00:21:38I considered various topics
00:21:40which speak to me personally,
00:21:41but I thought that I would start
00:21:44with a simple question.
00:21:47What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us,
00:21:51Colossians 1.27 says,
00:21:52that a Christian is a person
00:21:55in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:58It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have
00:22:04a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ
00:22:13as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:28You do speak with such wonderful
00:22:30clarity 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,
00:22:39I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves
00:22:43at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:45Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world,
00:22:49we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today
00:23:04was that of being a simple congregant,
00:23:07being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church,
00:23:11in terms of rank,
00:23:12even the great archbishops
00:23:14of 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,
00:23:28as Queen,
00:23:30to be able to just disappear
00:23:31and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things,
00:23:42I do think of myself
00:23:43as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living
00:23:49that root me,
00:23:51guide me,
00:23:54define me.
00:24:00Have you always been
00:24:01such 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,
00:24:09I have to say
00:24:10that I find that
00:24:11very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time
00:24:16I've spoken public,
00:24:18I was 12 years old
00:24:19at school.
00:24:21The school principal
00:24:22told my mother
00:24:23he thought I was a natural,
00:24:25that, of all things,
00:24:27I had a gift.
00:25:29I don't have an objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades.
00:25:38If the reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:43I'm not sure I'd go wrong with it.
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.
00:26:00Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:01Your team of troublesome historians, committed historians, principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:12Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plot as all.
00:26:25Your royal highness.
00:26:25Your royal highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abounds?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:31Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you, sir.
00:26:37We 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 a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama and turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job, a purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here, to ask you all my council of war, my brains trust of politicians, artists, and
00:27:10philosophers.
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, and I 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.
00:27:31Well, then, yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy, helping boost our much-needed dollar
00:27:40reserves.
00:27:40A man, the charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter, all those grasping international businessmen, the whiff of profit and self-interest?
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier, the idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, 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...
00:28:20My 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.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges, the smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy?
00:29:14What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:26I can truthfully say all is well.
00:29:29Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:40Good morning, 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.
00:30:17What oral room?
00:30:46The Marburg files, archballye
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some 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.
00:31:33Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns 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.
00:31:50Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:03When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in
00:32:19archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material, hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back, there was one file...
00:33:09pertaining 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.
00:33:39You are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files...
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country?
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:33:59Like, could you follow me?
00:34:00Have you seen venues?
00:34:27Like must you feelBenny.
00:34:29I don't know.
00:35:02I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations,
00:35:34and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it 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.
00:36:04Your Royal Highness.
00:36:07Your Royal Highness.
00:36:09Your Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of
00:36:42value and importance.
00:36:43I 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.
00:37:05Which 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.
00:37:20Your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Oh, actually I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one.
00:38:38And might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway.
00:39:02One or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which 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.
00:39:16And I've been 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, Capwin 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 during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which 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.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:49Well, it's utter 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.
00:41:46You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As 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.
00:42:08People 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.
00:42:23People 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.
00:43:24Everything alright?
00:43:29Could I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:35Forgiveness.
00:43:37Goodness, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:44it. I think it's time that he'd be forgiven. Are you mad? You can't forgive that man. Why
00:43:51not? What he did to this country. Those were different times. He's explained all that to
00:43:58me. I bet he did. Philip, forgiveness is very important to me. It's not often I say this,
00:44:08so perhaps if I do, you will take it seriously. Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you. What?
00:44:24And tell him of your proposed course of action. I can't keep summoning him like that. Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing. Go and see him in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea
00:44:37or human blood, whatever that monster drinks, and ask him about your uncle. He was his private
00:44:44secretary while he was king. He knows everything there is to know.
00:45:26your majesty. Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle. Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything. Ah, yes, those uniforms. 19th century. Yes. And that standard is Duke
00:45:50of Wellington. Very good, ma'am. So is Waterloo. Salamanca. Ah. Oh. And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division. Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am. From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:12Oh. Shall we, ma'am? Yes.
00:46:25I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life, and as an example of a Christian
00:46:32in a Christian country, to forgive? Your majesty, that would, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why? Before 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. So have I. I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more? Yes, ma'am.
00:47:09The Duke of Windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king. Surrounded himself with a new
00:47:16breed of courtier. Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi. He also shared classified
00:47:25allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed,
00:47:32forgive me, 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. Because then we had the application.
00:48:09The Duke of Windsor had to stop the war.
00:48:10Having 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 labelled the trip an unofficial state visit. So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess, that the plan was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England,
00:48:50effectively 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.
00:49:07And there were visits to SS training schools and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13Now, of course, the full horrors were yet to come. Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:19The Duke of Windsor did.
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,
00:49:41the Duke wasted no time in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered
00:49:47this priceless information, which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And 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
00:50:07in the face of the German aerial bombardment was weakening, and that continued bombing,
00:50:13that 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.
00:50:59Sin.
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 teeth.
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,
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29Who'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, and that's why they threw me out.
00:52:49Fine.
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, or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes, our ears, to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it as fabrications, as cruel chatter in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:22But when the truth finally came out, the 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, how on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:54:07I should not believe it.
00:54:10I hope you will find you better face on my Christmas.
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.
00:57:31He says, what if wePacific?
00:57:35How can I be moje in環境?
00:57:36Why may I kill you?
00:58:01What if to be plants or wild, Byron?
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am. I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06I do not mean he's drunk because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:12Oh, your dear...
00:59:14Your dear...
00:59:16Your dear mar was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38It's you.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50On the contrary, it was entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57Oh, it is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31Oh, yes.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:34No!
01:01:01No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:08Yes.
