00:00A CIDADE NO BRASIL
00:31A three-day people's festival has been declared
00:34with concerts and street parties up and down the country.
00:43The former queen is understood to be devastated
00:47and is unlikely to attend the service.
00:53Many had been unable to imagine life without Elizabeth II.
00:58But after almost 50 years on the throne,
01:03it's out with Queen Elizabeth
01:04and in with King Tony.
01:10New Britain has a new royal family.
01:13The Labour Party.
01:21The King leaves the Abbey to the strains of the new national anthem.
01:26You can walk my path
01:31You can wear my shoes
01:34Not to talk like me
01:38I'd be an angel at all
01:42I'm singing it now
02:02The usual rounds and controversies of political office.
02:07The Prime Minister's personal satisfaction ratings
02:10rose by one point
02:12to an extraordinary 66%.
02:14The moment will join our colleagues at the World Service.
02:17But in the meantime,
02:18on behalf of everybody at Broadcasting House,
02:21goodnight.
02:21Thank you.
02:32Thank you.
03:01Obrigado.
03:04Eu gostaria de falar brevemente sobre o Primeiro, se eu puder.
03:09Bem...
03:10Históricamente, eu não me preocupava muito sobre a popularidade do Primeiro.
03:13Ele tendo muito rápido.
03:16Mas eu tenho a sensação que isso poderia ser diferente com o Sr. Blair.
03:20As pessoas realmente gostam dele.
03:22E veem ele como um verdadeiro filho de Inglaterra.
03:25E um símbolo de unidade nacional.
03:27Bem, eu.
03:30E com o Sr. Blair mais alto,
03:32e com o Sr. Blair mais alto,
03:36talvez...
03:37agora é a hora.
03:39Ma'am?
03:40Para saber o que parece que foi errado,
03:42e como eu poderia fazer melhor.
03:47Eu entendo o impulso.
03:49Mas eu não sei se é uma boa ideia.
03:54A Crona não se pergunta existente.
03:58Talvez ele deve.
03:59A Crona não tem certeza.
04:00A Crona não tem certeza.
04:01A Crona não tem certeza.
04:05A Crona não tem certeza.
04:08A Crona não tem certeza.
04:10que, finalmente, eu estou pronto para ouvir.
04:12A Crona não tem certeza.
04:23A Crona não tem certeza.
04:25A Crona não tem certeza.
04:27A Crona não tem certeza.
04:38A Crona não tem certeza.
04:41A Crona não tem certeza.
04:45A Crona não tem certeza.
04:58A Crona não tem certeza.
04:59A Crona não tem certeza.
05:04A Crona não tem certeza.
05:05A Crona não tem certeza.
05:07A Crona não tem certeza.
05:07A Crona não tem certeza.
05:07um, às vezes, espirito debate.
05:10Keep it simple, please.
05:12Having reviewed the data,
05:14the pollsters have now presented
05:16their findings.
05:18Asked if the royal family
05:19were out of touch with ordinary people,
05:2269% said yes.
05:26Badly advised,
05:2862% said yes.
05:32Asked if they were wasteful of public money,
05:3454% said yes.
05:37Asked if they lacked compassion,
05:4053% said yes.
05:44Asked if they had failed
05:45the Princess of Wales as badly in death
05:47as in life,
05:50a sobering 66%
05:52said yes.
05:55Asked if Britain
05:56should have a smaller, more informal
05:58monarchy like the Netherlands or
05:59Scandinavia, 54% said yes.
06:04And when asked if
06:05the monarchy should continue,
06:07in its present form,
06:09the proportion that agreed
06:10was just 10%.
06:13I'd like to propose my own survey.
06:16How many of us think that
06:17polls are a daft idea
06:19in the first place?
06:21I don't see why we should have to
06:22listen to these people.
06:23because we might actually learn something.
06:26In the sample,
06:27as I understand it,
06:27it's selected to represent
06:28society as a whole, isn't it?
06:30It's still a folly
06:31to subject something
06:32as enduring as the monarchy
06:34to the whims of marketing men.
06:36I do think it's significant
06:38that our low numbers
06:40come at the same time
06:41that we have a Prime Minister
06:42of conspicuous popularity.
06:45Yes.
06:47Only Winston at his height
06:48had this kind of support.
06:50Have you learnt nothing
06:51in the time you've been on the throne?
06:53Prime Ministers come in
06:55on a blaze of popularity
06:56and goodwill.
06:57and leave on a stretcher
06:59a few years later
06:59with their reputations
07:01and usually their health
07:02in tatters.
07:03Yes, that is exactly.
07:04Well, I think this one
07:05might be different.
07:29Thank you.
08:12Thank you.
08:34Good evening.
08:38We hoped never to see war
08:41in Central Eastern Europe
08:43again in our lifetimes.
08:46Sadly, it has come
08:48and it has consequences
08:50for the whole world.
08:54Tonight,
08:55NATO allies
08:57launched an offensive
08:59against Serb military targets.
09:04Slobodan Milozovic
09:06is a monstrous dictator
09:08carrying out the systematic
09:10and violent persecution
09:12of innocent civilians.
09:14He has to be stopped.
09:16We have a moral duty
09:18to ensure
09:20he does not succeed.
09:25To all of us
09:26in free countries
09:27who think
09:28this is a remote conflict
09:31and someone else's problem,
09:33I say this.
09:35If you value
09:36your freedom,
09:37you cannot remain neutral.
09:39this is your war too.
09:52It's encouraging
09:53that our native partners
09:54have come together like this
09:55against the Serbs,
09:56but, well,
09:57moral purpose is one thing.
09:59Military success
10:00is quite another.
10:02Every bombing target
10:04has to be approved
10:04by committee,
10:05which makes decisions
10:07agonizingly slow.
10:08We thought this aerial campaign
10:10would be over in days.
10:11Instead,
10:11two weeks
10:12and little or no progress
10:14has been made.
10:15The Serbs are laughing at us.
10:17I read that the problem
10:19was cloud cover.
10:20American stealth bombers
10:22need good conditions
10:23to see their targets.
10:25The most sophisticated
10:25weaponry in the world
10:27and it can't handle
10:28the weather.
10:29Which is why
10:30we ultimately
10:30need ground troops.
10:32I proposed
10:33to President Clinton
10:34a limited invasion
10:35of 80,000 troops
10:36which would drive
10:37Serb forces out of Kosovo
10:38and create safe havens
10:39for refugees to return,
10:41but he said
10:42most Americans
10:43can't point to Yugoslavia
10:44on a map,
10:44so why put
10:45U.S. servicemen's
10:46lives at risk?
10:47Yes.
10:48It's most frustrating.
10:50But I won't give up,
10:51morally.
10:53This is the right thing.
10:58Mr. Blair
10:59was unusually resolute today.
11:02In my experience,
11:04Prime Ministers
11:05tend to be either
11:06domestic
11:06or foreign policy-focused.
11:09At this early stage,
11:11I'd say Mr. Blair
11:11falls very firmly
11:12into the latter camp.
11:14Yes.
11:15Statesman syndrome.
11:18Which am I,
11:19do you think?
11:20The domestic
11:21or foreign policy queen?
11:23Ha!
11:24Good question, ma'am.
11:26And it's not
11:27immediately obvious.
11:28The Commonwealth of Nations
11:29is such an article
11:30of faith to you,
11:31so I wouldn't be inclined
11:32to say foreign.
11:32For you, sir.
11:33who else off the top of their heads,
11:36for example,
11:36would be able to reel off
11:37the name of the president
11:38of Malawi?
11:40the Kili Maluzzi.
11:42And the next member state
11:44to have general elections?
11:45Fiji,
11:46their first since readmission.
11:48But despite all that,
11:49it's your interest
11:50in every part
11:50of the British Isles
11:51that I think ultimately
11:52makes you a domestic queen.
11:54Take today's engagement
11:55at the Women's Institute,
11:57composing the speech yourself
11:58with, if I may say,
12:00evident enthusiasm.
12:02Of course.
12:03The uncomplaining,
12:05hard-working countrywomen
12:06of Middle England,
12:07you underestimate them
12:09at your peril.
12:10And if the sea
12:13in ancient times
12:17walk upon England's
12:20mountains sweet
12:23and cross the wall
12:50The Women's Institute movement
12:53came to Britain in 1915.
12:56Since its humble beginnings
12:58in a Welsh garden shed,
13:01our membership
13:02and our goals
13:03have reached new
13:04and remarkable heights.
13:07I've been a member
13:08of the WI
13:09for longer than I've been queen.
13:13Many of you
13:14will remember
13:15how vital we were
13:16to the war effort,
13:18from growing produce
13:19to hosting evacuees.
13:22I have fond memories
13:24of collecting rose hips
13:25for rose hip syrup.
13:27Do you remember
13:28the rose hips?
13:29Yes.
13:30For vitamin C deficiency.
13:35There are approximately
13:37250,000 members
13:39of the Women's Institute
13:40in the United Kingdom.
13:43Roughly,
13:44the population of Hull.
13:47Can you imagine
13:48a city run and populated
13:50entirely by the WI?
13:54It would have the tidiest streets
13:55in Britain.
13:57Everything would run on time
13:59and we would take
14:00all the men's jobs.
14:12No, I'm not trying
14:13to patronize you.
14:14I'm not trying
14:15to make you look...
14:15Yeah.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Yeah, yeah.
14:18I understand.
14:19All right.
14:20Okay.
14:20Bye-bye.
14:24And then he said,
14:26answer me this, Tony.
14:27No, please,
14:28don't do the accent.
14:29How many ground troops
14:31are you all prepared
14:31to come in?
14:33So, I say,
14:34look, Bill,
14:35we can talk about
14:37numbers all day.
14:38This is about
14:38the bigger picture.
14:39What if Milosevic wins?
14:41NATO's credibility
14:42is at stake.
14:43To which he said...
14:44NATO's credibility
14:45is already
14:46a busted flush.
14:47So, you're allowed
14:48to do the accent.
14:49I do it better.
14:50He knows the fact
14:52you're coming to him
14:53like this means
14:53that NATO's air campaign
14:54has failed.
14:56But he still won't
14:57do what it takes,
14:57commit American ground troops.
15:00He's worried about it
15:01looking like another
15:02of Vietnam
15:02with no political upside
15:04for him domestically.
15:05Well, you're never
15:05going to persuade
15:06the White House
15:07by appealing
15:08to their interests.
15:10So, do what you do best.
15:14Appeal to their consciences.
15:26While we meet
15:27here in Chicago
15:28this evening,
15:30terrible things
15:31are happening
15:31in Europe.
15:36No one
15:37who has seen
15:38what has happened
15:39in Kosovo
15:40to those refugees
15:41can be in any doubt
15:44that NATO's military action
15:46is justified.
15:51But we must do more
15:53than simply make our case.
15:56we must also succeed.
15:59We must also succeed.
16:00For that,
16:01we depend on you,
16:03the United States.
16:07you are the most powerful country
16:10in the world
16:12and the richest.
16:14You are a great nation.
16:18And it must be
16:21difficult
16:22and sometimes irritating
16:24to find yourself
16:25the recipient
16:25of every demand.
16:27To be called upon
16:29in every crisis.
16:30to be expected
16:31always
16:32and everywhere
16:33to do
16:34what needs to be done.
16:36The cry
16:37what's it got to do
16:38with us
16:39must be heard
16:40fairly regularly.
16:44Yet those nations
16:45which have the power
16:47have the responsibility
16:48to use it
16:49wisely.
16:51we need you.
16:54We need
16:56America
16:57engaged.
17:00And so
17:01I say to you
17:02never fall again
17:04for the doctrine
17:05of isolationism
17:06because the world
17:07truly
17:08cannot afford it.
17:10Stay
17:11please
17:12a country
17:13outward looking
17:14with the vision
17:16and the imagination
17:17which is the very best
17:19of your nature.
17:20and realize too
17:21that in doing so
17:23you will find
17:23in Britain
17:24a friend
17:25and an ally
17:27that will stand
17:29with you.
17:30Work
17:31with you.
17:33Fashion
17:33with you
17:34the design
17:35of a future
17:36built on peace
17:37and prosperity
17:38for all
17:40which is the only dream
17:42that makes humanity
17:44worth preserving.
17:47Thank you.
18:04a resounding success
18:05for the prime minister
18:06in America.
18:08The New York Times
18:10says the prime minister
18:11has a new nickname
18:13King Tony.
18:15The Wall Street Journal
18:16has come out
18:17in emphatic support
18:18of his attempts
18:18to persuade
18:19a reluctant White House
18:20but I think
18:21the best summary
18:22is from the Chicago Sun
18:23Times.
18:24It claims Mr. Blair
18:25has beguiled the city
18:27with his charms
18:28leaving Americans
18:29pining to have him
18:30as their president
18:31instead.
18:33Goodness.
18:33I gather
18:34President Clinton
18:35is now considering
18:36ground war
18:37which would leave
18:38Milosevic
18:38and his Serb forces
18:40with the option
18:41to either fight
18:41and face
18:42total annihilation
18:44or else withdraw
18:46and I suspect
18:47even they are sensible
18:48enough to choose
18:49the latter.
18:50So
18:52the prime minister
18:53pulled it off.
18:55So it seems
18:56this is an extraordinary
18:58political feat.
19:21The prime minister
19:22your majesty
19:23your majesty
19:28I hope you didn't
19:29slip on the way
19:30here.
19:31Ma'am?
19:32It can't be easy
19:34walking on water.
19:37Please
19:37do sit down.
19:40So
19:40you insisted
19:42the West
19:43no longer stand by
19:45while genocide
19:45and slaughter
19:46take place
19:48and pulled it off
19:49without a single
19:50NATO casualty
19:51in combat.
19:52Great credit
19:53must go to
19:53the Americans.
19:54when they signaled
19:55their openness
19:56to a ground invasion
19:57Milosevic realized
19:58the game was up.
19:59But Clinton's
20:00change of heart
20:00is in great part
20:01thanks to you.
20:03It's one thing
20:04to have popularity
20:06it's quite another
20:07to have influence.
20:09So I offer you
20:10my congratulations.
20:12You are
20:13at this moment
20:14by some margin
20:15the most celebrated
20:16leader on the world stage
20:17with remarkable
20:18instincts.
20:20And so
20:23in the light
20:24of that
20:26it's no secret
20:27that the crown
20:28has not had the best
20:29time of it
20:30in recent years.
20:32Often our values
20:33and those of the country
20:34have not been
20:34perfectly aligned.
20:36You
20:36on the other hand
20:38since you entered
20:39number 10
20:40you've shown
20:41an uncanny ability
20:42to read the mood
20:42of the country
20:43better than anyone.
20:47and so I can't help
20:49but ask
20:54what would you do
20:57to turn things
20:58round for us
21:00if you were in charge?
21:04If I were in charge
21:06of the monarchy?
21:08If you were in my shoes.
21:12If I were king?
21:15Yes.
21:20Goodness.
21:23For someone who so rarely
21:24puts a foot wrong
21:25this seems to be
21:26a dangerous loss
21:27of judgment.
21:28She's asking for advice
21:29Robert.
21:29She doesn't need
21:30to take it.
21:31But who is she asking?
21:32The prime minister.
21:33An avowed reformer
21:34and modernizer.
21:35Her chief advisor.
21:37I'm her chief advisor.
21:39Actually
21:41constitutionally Robert
21:42I think you'll find
21:43he is.
21:47Can we walk through
21:49the five big changes
21:51that we want to make?
21:52Modernization.
21:52We reduce expenditure.
21:54Everyone's doing it.
21:55It's only fair
21:56that the queen
21:56is doing it as well.
21:57Right?
21:58Some examples.
21:59Listen to this.
21:59Royal train.
22:01£1,500
22:01for catering per journey.
22:03This is the time
22:04to get them in line
22:05with new labor.
22:06Honestly
22:07it's an anachronistic
22:09unrepresentative
22:09feudal system
22:10based on a thousand years
22:12of hereditary privilege.
22:13You'd be better off
22:14trying to modernize
22:15Stonehenge.
22:16Let's do the monarchy
22:17first and then
22:18we can get round
22:18to prehistoric monuments.
22:20Aren't those two
22:21things the same?
22:23Okay
22:23I know
22:24it's unexciting
22:25but administrative
22:25reform.
22:26We run the royals
22:27like we run
22:28the civil service.
22:29Yes.
22:30Accountability.
22:31There's nothing else
22:33that matters.
22:33It's just that.
22:34I mean
22:34not being allowed
22:35to marry a Catholic.
22:37Pretty sure
22:37Article 12
22:38of the Human Rights Act
22:39states that people
22:39have the right
22:40to marry
22:40whoever they want.
22:41Says the Queen's Council.
22:42Well that's wrong too
22:43I should be called
22:44Senior Council.
22:45I think we can
22:46spin it like this
22:47it would look really good
22:49if it came from the palace
22:50that they're prepared
22:51to tighten the purses.
22:52She knows that
22:53there has to be a change.
22:55Yes.
22:55Yes.
22:56The voters don't want
22:57to take down the monarchy.
22:58A version of that
22:59in the dossier.
23:01It's all wrong Tony.
23:04Seriously.
23:05Wrong.
23:08Needs changing.
23:19I'd like to start
23:20by thanking you
23:21for giving me
23:21the opportunity
23:22to do this.
23:24I'm ashamed to say
23:25most of the time
23:25we don't think seriously
23:26about the monarchy
23:27in this country.
23:28We just subject you all
23:29to a lot of
23:31hurtful and frivolous gossip.
23:33Really?
23:33I hadn't noticed.
23:36but having consulted
23:38with my closest advisers
23:41we do all agree
23:43that the institution
23:44is in need of some reform.
23:46That much was clear
23:48after the death
23:48of Diana Princess of Wales
23:50when we saw
23:51an outpouring of grief
23:53turn into a mass movement
23:54for change.
23:56So I thought we might
23:58start with something
24:00I know you're
24:01already considering.
24:02primogeniture.
24:04Yes.
24:06Demoting eldest daughters
24:07in the line of succession
24:08I think we can all agree
24:10makes little sense
24:11in a modern society.
24:12As an eldest daughter
24:13myself
24:14I don't object
24:14to that in principle.
24:16But to turn over
24:17centuries
24:18of royal legislation
24:19is no small task.
24:21You'd have to consult
24:22with the 15 other countries
24:24where I'm head of state.
24:27Where the will is there
24:28these things
24:28can usually change quickly.
24:31Another area
24:32is transparency.
24:34My government
24:34will soon be introducing
24:35a Freedom of Information Act.
24:37I believe the monarchy
24:38might benefit
24:39from something similar.
24:40An annual report
24:41setting out
24:42performance,
24:43assets,
24:43salaries,
24:44total accountability.
24:46Think of the Crown
24:46as a public limited company
24:48and the people of Britain
24:49as shareholders
24:50not subjects.
24:52I see.
24:56It's now nearly 300 years
24:57since William III
24:58signed the Act of Settlement
25:00to secure a Protestant monarchy
25:01and there have been
25:04growing calls
25:04for a review
25:06of some of the more
25:08anti-Catholic provisions
25:09which surely have no place
25:11in a plural society
25:12like ours.
25:14I can understand
25:16permitting members
25:17of the royal family
25:18to marry Catholics
25:20but for Catholics
25:21to be in the direct
25:22line of succession
25:23would open the way
25:24to a Catholic monarch.
25:26Well, of course
25:27there'll be technical issues.
25:28Slightly more than
25:29technical issues.
25:30It would be the disestablishment
25:32of the Church of England.
25:35But we have to be willing
25:36to look at the big questions.
25:37There's no use
25:38nibbling around the periphery.
25:40Should it be the monarch's role
25:41to appoint the Prime Minister?
25:43Of course.
25:44It's a government
25:45in the sovereign's name.
25:47But to be able
25:48to dissolve Parliament
25:49to give laws royal assent
25:51they don't in Sweden.
25:52These functions
25:53can be carried out
25:54by the Speaker
25:54of the House of Commons.
25:56Should the monarch
25:56be Commander-in-Chief
25:58of the Armed Forces?
25:59Again, they aren't in Sweden.
26:00They aren't in the Netherlands.
26:01Which brings me
26:02to the matter of pomp
26:03and splendor.
26:05I've been looking
26:06at some of the
26:07ceremonial offices
26:08in the royal household
26:09and they include
26:11a hereditary
26:13grand falconer.
26:14Dear Murray,
26:15what about him?
26:17Does the job
26:18really need to depend
26:19on birth, not merit?
26:24The Queen's herb strewer?
26:26The washer
26:26of the sovereign's hands?
26:28That is only once
26:30per reign
26:30and only when I'm
26:31in residence
26:32at Holyrood House.
26:33Still,
26:34a royal barge master
26:36and 24 watermen
26:37even though
26:38there hasn't been
26:38a royal barge
26:39since 1849.
26:41A warden of the swans?
26:43Someone has to oversee
26:44the swans
26:45in England's inland waterways
26:46over which the crown
26:47has an ancient
26:48prerogative right.
26:49But is that prerogative
26:51right?
26:52I understand that
26:53the roll dates
26:54from the 12th century
26:55as a way to claim
26:56swans as delicacies
26:57for royal banquets.
26:58Now that the swan
26:59has, one imagines,
27:00fallen out of the
27:01culinary repertoire,
27:02how does one justify
27:03the roll today?
27:04Kings and queens
27:05might not be eating
27:06them anymore.
27:07Someone has to care
27:08for them.
27:09We check them
27:10for injuries,
27:12maintain their habitat,
27:15ring them with tags
27:16from the British
27:16Trust for Ornithology,
27:18conservation.
27:20And that's before
27:21we get to the most
27:21anachronistic of all
27:23ceremonies,
27:24the state opening
27:24of Parliament.
27:25Do we really need
27:26ten heralds,
27:27including the Rouge
27:28Dragon Percevant
27:29and the Maltravers
27:31Herald Extraordinary,
27:33the gold stick
27:34in waiting,
27:35the silver stick
27:35in waiting,
27:36the gentleman usher
27:37of the Sword of State?
27:40I think what we're
27:42suggesting is
27:44a purge of honorifics,
27:46a bonfire of sinecures
27:48might be a useful
27:49concession.
27:52And PR victory.
28:01I obviously need
28:02to give all this
28:03careful thought.
28:04Your Majesty.
28:14So, how was it?
28:18A little frosty.
28:20I bet.
28:22We should promise
28:22to give our proposals
28:23some further thought.
28:26But if she doesn't
28:27and the people
28:28get fed up with them,
28:29she'll only have
28:29herself to blame.
28:32Britain isn't mature
28:33enough as a country
28:34and a democracy
28:35now to live
28:35without this nonsense.
28:39Preservation
28:40of the monarch
28:40is her life's work.
28:43She must know
28:44that they have to
28:45change in order
28:46to survive.
28:48They don't want
28:49to change, Tony.
28:50I mean, she probably
28:52thinks the only way
28:53to survive
28:54is to double down
28:56on the madness.
28:58Like the Catholic Church.
29:00Let's not bring
29:00the church into this.
29:01Well, they modernized
29:03and the old guard
29:05has never forgiven
29:05them for it.
29:07Why?
29:08Because they got rid
29:09of the Latin
29:09and the incense
29:10and the miracles
29:11and the mystery
29:12and people stopped coming.
29:16This is different.
29:18Is it?
29:33Mr. Hawkins next, please.
29:36Yes.
29:40Please,
29:41make yourself
29:42comfortable.
29:45Swans.
29:46That's it.
29:46I'm the warden
29:47of the swans.
29:49It says here
29:50your role is
29:51one of the oldest
29:51in the household.
29:53That's right, sir.
29:54We've gone through
29:54several incarnations
29:56over the years.
29:57Keeper of the king of swans,
29:59the king's swan master,
30:00and now
30:01the warden
30:01of the swans.
30:07And what is
30:08your precise title?
30:10I am
30:11the queen's herb straw.
30:12The queen's guide
30:13to the suns.
30:14Yeoman of the
30:15glass and china pantry.
30:18Could you tell us
30:19what your role
30:20involves
30:20day by day?
30:22It's my job
30:23to supervise
30:25the glassware
30:25and earthenware
30:26across all
30:27the royal palaces.
30:29I oversee
30:30stocks.
30:31I guard
30:32against any
30:33damage
30:34and breakages.
30:35What have you got there?
30:37laws,
30:38orders,
30:39and customs
30:39swans.
30:41The authoritative text
30:43of what was then
30:44the keeper
30:44of the king's swans.
30:46It's been guiding us
30:47for centuries,
30:48since 1482,
30:49by my reckoning,
30:50by the reign
30:50of Edward IV.
30:52I've seen the bay
30:52change in all manner
30:53of ways.
30:54Years of high tides
30:55and heavy rainfall
30:56will change suns
30:58beyond recognition.
30:59Believe me,
31:00I've seen
31:00shallow gullies
31:02turn into
31:02deep ravines.
31:03What is your
31:04official title?
31:06Astronomer royal.
31:07Piper.
31:07The sovereign.
31:08Lord High Admiral
31:09of the wash, ma'am.
31:10My responsibilities
31:11also include
31:13folding all
31:14170
31:15of the
31:16embroidered
31:17white linen
31:18napkins.
31:19Oh, that's you?
31:20Yes, ma'am.
31:21You are clever.
31:22How on earth
31:23do you do that?
31:24Few have truly
31:25mastered
31:25the Dutch
31:27bonnet
31:27napkin fold.
31:29The swan
31:31is a
31:32pure
31:32and
31:34graceful
31:34beast.
31:36How's your
31:3715th century
31:38calligraphy, Robert?
31:40A little
31:41rusty.
31:44Her feathers
31:46are white
31:47as snow
31:48and as
31:50brief
31:50in duration.
31:53For she
31:54signifieth
31:55the passing
31:56nature
31:56of fair
31:58things.
32:00for though
32:01we wish
32:02our splendor
32:03to be
32:04everlasting,
32:05no thing
32:07must remain
32:08of what
32:09is past.
32:17The longer
32:17it went on,
32:18the heavier
32:19my heart
32:19became.
32:20I agree.
32:22A sense
32:23of pride
32:24in the tradition.
32:28I think my
32:29favourite
32:30was the
32:31yeoman
32:31bed
32:31hanger.
32:33Yes.
32:34Or the
32:35Lord High
32:35Admiral of the
32:36Wash.
32:45so they
32:45don't want
32:46Blackrod
32:46knocking on
32:47the door
32:48or the
32:48Lord Great
32:49Chamberlain
32:50walking backwards.
32:51They've also
32:51suggested
32:52getting rid of
32:53the cap
32:53of maintenance.
32:55Presumably
32:56on the grounds
32:56that it can only
32:57be worn by
32:58a peer
32:58of the
32:58realm.
32:59But it's
32:59so full
33:00of colour
33:00and character
33:02and a
33:02glorious
33:03sea of
33:04a million.
33:05I think
33:05from a
33:06PR standpoint
33:07it might be
33:08sensible to
33:08make one
33:09or two
33:09concessions.
33:10Really?
33:11Leave us
33:11less open
33:12to charges
33:12of elitism
33:13and grandiosity.
33:14Well that's
33:15missing the
33:15point.
33:16The whole
33:17purpose of
33:18the state
33:18opening
33:19is to
33:19humble
33:20the monarch.
33:22The
33:22Crown's
33:22representative
33:23Blackrod
33:24knocks on
33:24the door
33:25of the
33:25House of
33:25Commons
33:26and is
33:26rebuffed
33:27three
33:27times.
33:28Why?
33:30Because the
33:31last time
33:31a king
33:33overstepped
33:34the mark
33:34and entered
33:35the Commons
33:36Charles I
33:37it led
33:38to civil
33:39war
33:39and his
33:40execution.
33:43Parliament
33:43is warning
33:44the monarch
33:45never forget
33:48we're in
33:49charge.
33:50She still
33:50arrives in
33:51the Irish
33:51state coach
33:52with an
33:52escort of
33:53household
33:53cavalry
33:54and
33:54hundreds
33:55of guardsmen
33:56lining the
33:56route.
33:57It doesn't
33:57immediately
33:58feel like
33:59a lesson
33:59in humility.
34:00Are we
34:00really being
34:01lectured on
34:02humility by
34:02the Prince
34:03of Wales?
34:03We are.
34:04Well I
34:04just don't
34:05feel there's
34:06anything wrong
34:06with running
34:07the monarchy
34:07on more
34:07rational and
34:09democratic
34:09lines.
34:11But
34:12monarchy
34:12isn't
34:13rational
34:13or democratic
34:14or logical
34:15or fair.
34:18Haven't we
34:18all learned
34:19that by
34:19now?
34:22People
34:23don't want
34:23to come
34:23to a royal
34:24palace
34:24and get
34:24what
34:24they
34:25could
34:25have
34:25at
34:25home.
34:27When
34:27they
34:28come
34:28for
34:28an
34:28investiture
34:29or a
34:30state
34:30visit,
34:31when they
34:32brush up
34:32against us
34:33they want
34:33the magic
34:34and the
34:34mystery
34:35and the
34:36arcane
34:36and the
34:36eccentric
34:37and the
34:37symbolic
34:38and
34:40the
34:40transcendent.
34:43They want
34:44to feel
34:44like they've
34:45entered
34:45another
34:45world.
34:46That
34:47is our
34:47duty
34:49to lift
34:50people up
34:50and transport
34:51them into
34:51another realm,
34:53not bring
34:53them down
34:53to earth
34:54and remind
34:54them of
34:54what they
34:55already
34:55have.
34:58Hear,
34:59hear.
34:59The world
35:00has been
35:01gripped
35:01and the
35:01race for
35:02the White
35:02House
35:02has boiled
35:03down to
35:03a recount
35:04in the
35:04battleground
35:05state of
35:06Florida.
35:07Many in
35:07the Labour
35:08Party had
35:08hoped for
35:09a victory
35:09for Vice
35:10President
35:10Al Gore.
35:11But in
35:12a dramatic
35:13late night
35:14ruling,
35:15the US
35:15Supreme
35:16Court voted
35:175-4 to
35:18stop the
35:18recount,
35:20handing the
35:20presidency
35:21to Texas
35:21Governor
35:22George W.
35:23Bush.
35:24Mr. Blair's
35:24closest
35:25international
35:25ally will
35:26be a man
35:26he has
35:27never
35:27spoken to
35:28or met.
35:28It
35:29couldn't
35:29have been
35:29more awkward.
35:30As you
35:30know,
35:30the Clintons
35:31were making
35:31their farewell
35:32visit to
35:33the UK
35:33and staying
35:34with us
35:34at Chequers
35:35while the
35:36ruling was
35:37being made.
35:37So there
35:39we all were
35:39watching CNN
35:41in the middle
35:41of the night
35:42as the election
35:42was being
35:43decided.
35:44Oh dear.
35:44The following
35:45day,
35:45President Clinton
35:46had to deliver
35:46a speech
35:47at the
35:47University
35:48of Warwick
35:48with me
35:48giving the
35:49opening remarks.
35:50Well,
35:51I had no
35:52choice but
35:52to offer
35:53warm congratulations
35:54to President-elect
35:55Bush in front
35:56of my good
35:57friend.
35:58Will it be
35:59challenging for
36:00you to have
36:01a Republican
36:01White House?
36:03I see no reason
36:04not to be
36:04optimistic.
36:07Let's not
36:08forget,
36:08I'll be the
36:09senior partner
36:09now,
36:10so I hope
36:10to be able
36:11to influence
36:11President Bush.
36:20Your Majesty.
36:22Prime Minister.
36:30My office
36:30sent some
36:31suggestions ahead
36:32of the state
36:32opening a
36:32parliament.
36:33I was wondering
36:33if you had a
36:34chance to look
36:34at them.
36:35Rather more
36:36than that.
36:37I discussed
36:38them with my
36:38family.
36:40Believe it or
36:41not, for my
36:42first child,
36:43it was still
36:43custom to
36:44summon the
36:44home secretary
36:45to witness
36:46a royal birth.
36:49My father
36:50put a stop
36:51to it with
36:51my consent,
36:52so I'm not
36:53against reform.
36:54The question
36:55is what is
36:56worth preserving
36:57and where to
36:57draw the line.
36:58Thank you.
36:59We have now
37:00conducted a
37:00thorough review
37:01of all the
37:02offices in
37:02my household,
37:03and what we
37:04discovered was
37:04not indefensible
37:06extravagance
37:06or luxury,
37:07or a collection
37:08of empty
37:08Ruritanian titles,
37:10but an
37:11extraordinary
37:11array of
37:12precious
37:12expertise,
37:14skills that
37:15have been
37:15passed down
37:16for generations,
37:17often within
37:18the same
37:18families,
37:19and the
37:20vehicle for
37:21that continuity
37:22is the
37:23crown.
37:24The spell
37:25that we cast
37:26and have cast
37:27for centuries
37:27is our
37:28immutability.
37:30Tradition
37:31is our
37:31strength,
37:33respect for
37:34our forebears,
37:35and the
37:36preservation
37:36of generations
37:38of their
37:38wisdom and
37:39learned
37:39experience.
37:42Modernity
37:43is not
37:43always the
37:44answer.
37:46Sometimes
37:46antiquity
37:47is, too.
37:54Well,
37:55are you
37:56ready?
37:57Are you
37:57ready?
38:02Am I just
38:03serving,
38:03ma'am?
38:04Oh,
38:04Robert?
38:05No,
38:06not at all.
38:08I just
38:09wanted to
38:09express my
38:10relief,
38:10ma'am.
38:12That I
38:12came to
38:13my senses.
38:15For a moment,
38:15I think we risk
38:16compromising the
38:16very things that
38:17make us
38:17distinctive.
38:23Which leads
38:24me to
38:25think
38:28that it
38:29might be
38:29best if I
38:30personally
38:30were to
38:31move on.
38:32Robert.
38:33It's true,
38:34ma'am.
38:36At crucial
38:36moments,
38:37the palace
38:37has failed
38:38to read
38:38the public
38:39mood,
38:40and much
38:41of the
38:41blame
38:42rests with
38:43me.
38:43Surely not.
38:44It's a
38:44question of
38:45temperament,
38:46knowing where
38:46to be
38:46flexible.
38:48My problem
38:49is I'm an
38:50old stick.
38:51I'd rather not
38:51change anything
38:52at all.
38:53I tend to
38:54see things
38:54as binary.
38:56Either you
38:57keep things
38:58as they are,
38:59or it's
39:00closing time
39:01in the
39:01gardens of
39:01the West.
39:03But you
39:04can make
39:06alterations
39:06without tearing
39:07down the
39:07building.
39:08My deputy,
39:10Robin Janvin,
39:11is far better
39:12placed to do
39:12that.
39:13He's much
39:13more attuned
39:15and deserving
39:16of a step
39:16up.
39:17Of course
39:18Robin will
39:18make an
39:18excellent
39:19private
39:19secretary,
39:20but he's
39:20still a
39:21young man.
39:23Is there
39:23nothing I
39:24can do
39:24to persuade
39:24you to
39:25stay?
39:27Sometimes
39:27it's helpful
39:28to offer
39:28a scalp.
39:31This way,
39:33everyone
39:33benefits.
39:34The public
39:35gets sent
39:36a signal.
39:37You get
39:38better advice
39:38than I could
39:39ever possibly
39:39give.
39:41I get to
39:42play more
39:43cricket.
39:46I don't
39:47know how
39:47I'll
39:47manage.
39:48I should
39:48be utterly
39:48lost.
39:49No,
39:50ma'am,
39:50you won't.
39:51It'll be
39:51just fine.
39:52You've
39:53navigated
39:53this latest
39:54matter
39:54perfectly
39:55without
39:55my help.
40:07Every minute
40:08has been
40:08an honour,
40:08ma'am.
40:09has been
40:30And finally,
40:30ma'am, your visit to Brighton and Hove as one of the government's designated Millennium Cities.
40:35Yes.
40:36I have drafted a programme of engagements that I hope preserves the traditional but adds
40:42a somewhat modern sensibility.
40:45On the one hand, lunch at the pavilion in tribute to your great-great-great-great-uncle,
40:50George IV.
40:51On the other, a visit to the Sussex Innovation Centre to see a demonstration of an insectoid
40:57robot called Maggie.
40:59Right.
41:04One last thing you might be interested to know.
41:08The Prime Minister.
41:10Yes?
41:12Has chosen to address the Women's Institute as part of his mission to consolidate support
41:20in Middle England.
41:21Really?
41:23I wouldn't have said they were his sort of crowd.
41:26But his unerring judgment is what one has always had to admire him for.
41:31And his ability to win over seemingly anyone.
41:36I'm sure this will be no exception.
41:48MUSIC PLAYS
42:10A modern voice for women.
42:13It is a clear and admirable statement of ideals.
42:17But what does it mean to be modern?
42:20In a new Britain, driven by change and innovation.
42:26Make no mistake, there are many traditions we can be proud of,
42:29but we must never cling to tradition for its own sake.
42:33In the 21st century, we must ask ourselves what kind of values we want to promote.
42:41We must take what's best from the past, but never be enthralled to it.
42:46Old-fashioned practices can sometimes hold progress back.
42:52I believe, and the Labour Party believes, that a new, updated concept of community is needed
43:00to keep up with the fast pace of change in the modern world.
43:05I was elected leader of the Labour Party because I understood that we had a radical mission
43:10to change not just the politics of this country, but the constitution of this country,
43:16the soul of this country.
43:20Radical is not a word to be frightened of.
43:23It is a word to embrace, because I fear that if we are not radical, we will not succeed in
43:31our mission.
43:32Look at what we've done in the House of Lords, taking drastic action against hereditary privilege.
43:42Thank you very much.
43:45Look, the world is changing fast.
43:49Oh, okay, right.
43:51And change is tough, we know that.
43:58It's no wonder people feel worried and wish to hold tight to the old ways.
44:03A run-in with the Women's Institute was surely not what the Prime Minister had in mind
44:06as he made his return to the political fray.
44:09The chairwoman of the WI says that she had urged Mr. Blair not to make his speech party-political.
44:14Take all the forces that prevent Biden change, then the very conditions will seem to...
44:23I'm glad they're having a good debate, anyway.
44:34He can charm America, indeed the whole world, but comes up short with the Women's Institute.
44:41I'm getting terrible stick for it from my aides, who all advise against doing it.
44:45You were political with the WI, the one thing we pride ourselves on never being.
44:50As far as criticisms go, being too political is one I think I can live with.
44:55Be like someone describing you as being too royal.
44:59I think I've come to realise there's no such thing as too royal.
45:04If you're doing it, do it properly.
45:08And unapologetically.
45:13I understand.
45:17So.
45:20So.
45:23I'm sure you're aware the EU has just published a draft of its new Charter for Fundamental Rights
45:30ahead of the forthcoming summit in Portugal.
45:33Our hope is that it will reflect the original meaning of the moment to summarise existing moments.
45:44You can work my palm
45:49You can wear my shorts
45:52I don't want to go in.
45:54Let's hope.
45:54But to talk like me
45:57I'd be an intro or two
46:01I'm singing it now, please
46:03Things can only get better
46:08Can only get
46:10Can only get
46:12Tchau, tchau.
46:45Tchau, tchau.
47:13Tchau, tchau.
47:52Tchau.
48:22Tchau.
