00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?
02:19Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:37Oh.
02:49At the Elysée Palace the ceremonial card awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the French that he came to Paris before going to Vienna to meet Mr Kutchev.
02:58When is it, you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty, that one must start calling oneself middle
03:05-aged?
03:06Oh, stop it. You're still a young girl.
03:10I caught sight of myself in a mirror today.
03:12I looked like an old woman.
03:14You haven't even finished having children yet.
03:18True.
03:19So, finish your family.
03:21Let the first one go to school.
03:23And then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well, that won't be middle-aged. That'll be ancient.
03:30Oh, no, no.
03:32Not again.
03:37Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it. It's rented.
03:44No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it.
03:48Well done.
03:49This macaroni and cheese is heavenly.
03:54So, weekend's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where's the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:03In Kennedy's?
04:04After Vienna with Khrushchev, then Paris, they're coming to London.
04:08So, we're having an informal dinner at Buckingham Palace.
04:12She's so young.
04:13I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15She is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:26She was talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife, Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:34It's beautiful.
04:35It's beautiful.
04:36It's beautiful.
04:36It's charming.
04:38It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:40It's beautiful.
04:40She is pretty, isn't she?
04:42Yes.
04:45Yes.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:43Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Good evening, Your Royal Majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:50Oh, for goodness sake.
13:51Mr. President.
13:54Mr. President.
13:56Your Grace.
13:57Did they not get the protocol sheet?
13:59Yes. We obviously didn't read it.
14:02Yes, well.
14:03Shall we?
14:06Uh, Jackie.
14:08Where do you think she's going?
14:10Lord knows.
14:14Mrs. Kennedy.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:22Though I'm not sure when.
14:25This drink.
14:27Please.
14:28Sorry, sir.
14:30Bloody shabbles.
14:31Oh, no.
14:34Oh, no.
14:44My heart goes out to him.
14:47Where does the behind closed doors over here?
14:49Khrushchev humiliate.
14:51Ran, ran through.
14:53Treated him like a little boy.
14:54No wonder the Cold War.
14:56He's too many.
14:57Very good.
14:59He's too many.
15:01He's too many.
15:03He's too many.
15:07He's too many.
15:29So, how was she?
15:32Oh, terrific. She's divine.
15:36Is she?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:43She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she? Well, then I'll do it.
15:46No, no, it's all right. She asks me.
15:47No, it's my house, so I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Kennedy, you're mine.
15:59You okay there?
16:00I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although people keep telling me the same thing.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40But now it's principally used for receptions and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:51Shall we?
16:53Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, George III, and he bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his
17:04wife, Queen Charlotte.
17:07Who's this?
17:09Who's this?
17:09Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits.
17:11The younger.
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him.
17:16Crippling shyness.
17:19Apparently, he could barely look people in the eye.
17:23And yet, he became our prime minister.
17:26I quite understand.
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It's a shortcut.
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place.
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable.
17:56Oh, I quite understand.
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to.
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do ended up in a goldfish bowl like
18:09the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, you have to explain that one to me.
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them.
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far.
18:27And a strong character is often one who enjoys public life, thrives on it.
18:34And then, before you know it, the very person you have turned to in order to protect you is the
18:40very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd.
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech-making, that's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people under the glare of spotlights than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:28Ah.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:32Yes, ma'am.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hey, little puppy.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43Ah!
19:44And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:50Oh.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes of being in a position where I have to talk
19:59to a great many people.
20:01But deep down, I'm happiest with animals.
20:04That makes two of us.
20:08I always think my sister would have made, if not the better, the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:18And the greatest of British queens, in her own mind, anyway.
20:29No, I liked her very much.
20:32And I've been all set to loathe her.
20:34But in the end, I was utterly charmed.
20:38It's a timely reminder.
20:39Of what?
20:40Oh.
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem.
20:43Well, then I don't know what Patrick was talking about.
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Poisson.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter.
21:04When was the last time you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or gallery?
21:08Even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage.
21:11Oh, thank you.
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner at the Radsevilles last week.
21:19Well, your new best friend, Mrs. Kennedy, was also a guest.
21:23He called me this morning to tell me some of the things you'd overheard her say at dinner.
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29You'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32Must say, it did seem a little unkind.
21:35You know how reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
21:45Don't worry.
21:50General Solace!
21:53Preach!
21:55Up!
21:58Shoulder!
21:59Up!
22:03Order!
22:04Up!
22:12Patrick.
22:13Your Majesty.
22:15It's so kind of you to come.
22:20It's really not far.
22:21Are you still just around the corner at Wellington Barracks?
22:23I am.
22:24Are you still travelling up and down the country,
22:26recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools?
22:29That's me.
22:33I gather
22:35you saw the First Lady
22:38at dinner recently.
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy.
22:43Margaret mentioned it.
22:44Did she?
22:45Yes.
22:48So how was that?
22:51Pleasant enough.
22:53Uneventful.
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles.
22:56No, I don't.
22:57Well, the food's always good.
22:59Yes, but I wasn't asking about the food.
23:02What?
23:04I'd like to know what was said.
23:08Patrick, we grew up together,
23:10and we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship.
23:15Yes, ma'am.
23:15Yes.
23:16So, let's not break the habit of a lifetime.
23:22All right.
23:26What I ever heard the First Lady say,
23:30and I should mention,
23:31I was several places along the table,
23:33it's possible that I misheard,
23:37was that she found Buckingham Palace second-rate,
23:42dilapidated and sad,
23:44like a neglected provincial hotel,
23:48and that one came away with a sense of
23:51a tired institution
23:53without a place in the modern world.
24:00I see.
24:01I see.
24:10And did she have anything to say about me?
24:14Patrick.
24:14I was at the other end of the table.
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were
24:29that in our head of state,
24:31we had
24:32a middle-aged woman
24:34so incurious,
24:38unintelligent,
24:40and unremarkable,
24:44that Britain's new reduced place in the world
24:47was not a surprise,
24:47but an inevitability.
25:04Well,
25:09we must have her again soon.
25:38We must have her again soon.
25:52Bad news, I'm afraid.
25:54Worse than bad.
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project, President Kennedy's pulled out.
26:02Why?
26:03American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians.
26:07Turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday.
26:10To receive the order of Lenin, highest military honor, from Khrushchev himself.
26:16And what's the next step?
26:18I wish I knew. Wish I had an ace up my sleeve.
26:22The way President Kennedy had his First Lady in Paris.
26:39Why don't you send me?
26:44Where?
26:46To Ghana.
26:48On what would be seen as a personal trip.
26:50Absolutely not.
26:51That would be out of the question, ma'am.
26:53Why?
26:55A visit from the Crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment.
26:57Too great a compliment.
26:58It would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation.
27:02In doing so, we risk alienating Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tengen...
27:05But surely by singling out Ghana, that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from the Russians and
27:09in the Commonwealth.
27:10Perhaps, but as Queen, you cannot be seen to be engaging in the dirty business of politics.
27:14Yes, but as head of the Commonwealth, can I not be permitted just once to defend it?
27:17Your Majesty.
27:20It would be unsafe.
27:22It would be provocative.
27:25It would be, in my view, a profound misjudgment to get on that plane.
27:47The trip is impossible to justify it from any angle.
27:51It is unethical, unconstitutional and indefensible that the Queen should be going at all.
27:57What would you have me do?
27:59Nothing.
28:00I certainly wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah.
28:05You're just being cynical.
28:06And you're being naive.
28:09When you last met him, Nkrumah was just Nkrumah.
28:12Now he's the Lion of Africa, playing the Soviets off against the Americans.
28:16And you're a lamb the Lion will have for lunch.
28:20The best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be.
28:24A puppet.
28:25A constitutional monarch.
28:27A puppet.
28:28If you like.
28:29Well, that's the whole point.
28:32I don't like.
28:33I don't like.
28:49Sir.
28:51She's here.
29:03She's here.
29:20She's here.
29:51Shall we?
29:55Stop.
29:56Stop.
29:57One moment.
30:00Yes.
30:01Report us.
30:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
30:07Hey, hey, hey.
30:10Hey, ma.
30:12Dana, my.
30:13Eddie, who brassiere.
30:15I'm our quava.
30:19Your Majesty, Ghana welcomes you, humbly.
30:25Yes.
30:28We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
30:37Ready.
30:40Thank you, Your Majesty.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted.
30:51That'll be on the front page of every African newspaper making every other African leader choke with genocide.
30:56Yes, of course, it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12Hello.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:34Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:43I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well, I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:59It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:15Elizabeth!
32:16What's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She says she's thinking.
32:46She says she's thinking.
32:59She's a very good fighter.
33:00She's a good fighter.
33:03She's a very good fighter.
33:11I think she's a very good fighter.
33:19Now, what's going on?
33:23What are you doing?
33:26Elizabeth?
33:37Yes, this is Colonel Charteris.
33:39We have Martin Charteris on the telephone.
33:41The situation is developing in Ghana.
33:44Hello?
33:45Come here.
34:17I think we both understand the significance of this moment.
34:22Yes.
34:24But do we understand the terms?
34:30They appear to be in some kind of negotiation.
34:33What kind of negotiation?
34:34Get her out of there!
34:37Your Majesty.
34:43Oh, Lord.
34:45What's going on?
34:51He's taken her hand.
41:28and I'm pleased to say that we anticipate
41:31clean and calm conditions for the rest of our flight to London.
41:36Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Garner trip?
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:56So...
41:57The New York Times calls it shrewd strategic maneuvering,
42:03an example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian paper is very impressed with your commitment to the Commonwealth,
42:10and the Illustrated London News call it an outstanding personal success.
42:16Floating doesn't suit you.
42:20The Garnet Press are calling you a socialist.
42:24Oh, goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:37Um, her office is written requesting private audience with Your Majesty prior to lunch on the 28th of March.
42:44What if it were for?
42:46Um, they didn't say.
42:48Where's the lunch?
42:50Parkingham Palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Windsor Castle.
43:06Home...
43:43Headway to the Queen's Guard!
43:59Headway to the Queen's Guard!
44:02Head!
44:03Headway to the Queen's Guard!
44:11Headway to the Queen's Guard!
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy?
44:28This way, your piece.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty.
44:51Thank you for seeing me.
44:54Mrs. Kennedy.
44:58Do sit down.
45:10Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday because I owe you an apology.
45:39Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:56I had a social occasion.
46:00Mr. Kennedy.
46:00Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:05Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me, and I'll confess to being momentarily surprised, since they
46:23in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit of our meeting.
46:27But in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have too, not to take things too seriously.
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons, which get misquoted or misunderstood, and before you know it, those words
46:40have turned into something quite different.
46:41And everyone's upset or up in arms.
46:46I'm quite sure that you meant no harm, nor disrespect.
46:49After all, why would you?
46:52We barely know one another.
46:54Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse, but if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an
47:01explanation.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07Last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed, at least from the outside, to be riding on
47:13a high.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19The truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems after the birth of our son, and Jack had
47:27his own health issues.
47:29To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:33So, when we got to Paris, I don't mind telling you I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace.
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:51I enjoyed it.
47:53But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged, behind closed doors.
47:58As I can imagine.
48:03There are other factors too.
48:07Our doctor.
48:09Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances too.
48:26To help pep us up or calm us down.
48:35On the occasion of that dinner, he had given me something.
48:39A little booster.
48:44I told him I needed cheering up.
48:47But I guess it loosened my tongue.
48:51And then I heard some of these terrible things cut back to you.
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:02The idea that I might have upset someone I admire so much.
49:08That's very kind of you to say.
49:10It's true.
49:12The way you do your job.
49:15The way you cope with the pressure.
49:19The personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your composure and dignity.
49:27As a woman, it's so inspiring.
49:31And what you just did in Ghana.
49:34It was just extraordinary.
49:41What I should have said.
49:43Was that I didn't do very much in Ghana.
49:46I got on a plane.
49:48And I went.
49:50The only reason I went was because I felt utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her piece.
50:14And savored your victory?
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21For ticking off?
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:26But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30Lost.
50:33You did exactly the right thing.
50:37She insulted you, all of us, and you're not a saint.
50:41No.
50:42Who?
50:42We know that already.
50:46There's ice in those veins when there needs to be.
50:49Yes.
50:52Well, three cheers to that.
51:05All right.
51:09Yes.
51:14Yes.
51:16Yes.
51:16Yes.
51:16Yes.
51:16Keep going up the hill.
51:20Yes.
51:22Yes.
51:31Man, what is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, Alan.
51:45Somebody help.
51:58There was absolute pandemonium around the scene.
52:01People screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard.
52:05Reporters saw President Kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car.
52:10Men and women were screaming.
52:12He saw blood on the President's head.
52:15This is all we have here in Washington at this moment.
52:18And for the moment, I return you to Radio Newsreel in London.
52:21Hello, London. I just heard from Dallas that the President is still alive, but in critical condition.
52:28He was apparently shot in the head, and the governor of Texas, Governor Connolly, was shot in the chest.
52:36Mrs. Kennedy was weeping, trying to hold up her husband's head when the reporters reached the car as it dashed
52:42toward the hospital.
52:44Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the car behind the President.
52:47Blood transfusions are being given to President Kennedy.
52:51However, one of the two priests called into the room has administered the last sacrament of the church to President
52:59Kennedy.
53:01Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned, but they are at the bedside of their husband.
53:16He's dead.
53:46Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy.
54:00Didn't you say how unhappy she was in the marriage?
54:07Yes.
54:11That's the thing about unhappiness.
54:15All it takes is for something worse to come along.
54:19And you realize it was actually happiness after all.
54:32She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:39It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:43A patient's loved one has joined the grieving Mrs. Kennedy for a...
54:47No, I think it's deliberate.
54:48Before the body was moved to the rotunda of the Capitol.
54:52The last day in the life of the first Capitol, President of the United States.
54:59Lyndon Johnson, sworn in on Air Force One less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy.
55:22And I would like everyone in the royal household to observe a full week of court mourning.
55:30And I would like the bell rung at Westminster Abbey.
55:36Ma'am, custom dictates that the bell only be rung...
55:41When a member of the royal family dies, I know.
55:46But I would like it to be rung...
55:48My best, that is all...
55:49...every minute.
55:51For an hour.
55:53I ask for your help...
55:54From 11 o'clock until midday.
55:56...all gods...
56:09...all gods...
56:10...in the darkness of the days that lie ahead.
