00:07Yesterday morning at 2.41 a.m. at General Eisenhower's headquarters, General Jodl,
00:17the representative of the German High Command, signed the act of unconditional surrender of all
00:26German land, sea, and airports in Europe, hostilities will end officially at one minute after midnight
00:38tonight, Tuesday the 8th of May.
00:54We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing, today is victory in Europe's day, long live
01:05the cause of freedom. God save the King.
01:14Ready? Margaret, I'm not sure this is a good idea.
01:17Come on, the war is over. We have to celebrate. What if something goes wrong?
01:21We'll have Porchy and Peter Townsend with us. What could possibly go wrong?
01:30We're escaping from the palace. Quick, out the servants' door before anyone sees us.
01:39We can't just break out like this. Oh shush, hurry up.
01:46Come on, girls. Hold your noses. Why?
01:54It stinks of alcohol. And sweat. It smells of life.
02:22No. Green Park or Trafalgar Square? I say the Ritz. It's where all the most elegant people go,
02:28and some G's in Worcester. Good plan. The Ritz it is.
02:31Shall we be inside the palace? Why? So we can wave to Mummy and Papa?
02:35Honestly, what's the matter with you? Can't you be irresponsible just once?
02:51Margaret? Margaret? Oh.
02:59Next week is May the 8th. Do you know, it's been over 50 years, and we've never done anything to
03:07commemorate it.
03:08What are you talking about? The Sovereign? I attend VE Day celebrations every year.
03:15No. I mean, our VE Day. It was quite a night. Do you remember?
03:25Of course I remember. We almost lost you. And then we very much found you. The real you. The you
03:39that you gave up in order to be the other you.
03:43Yes, all right. Don't you miss her? She was so much fun.
03:48Oh, it ain't my fault. Oh, it ain't my fault.
03:56And as I recall, we swore to keep the events of that evening secret.
04:05Gin.
04:07Well done.
04:09Revenge?
04:10I can't, I'm afraid. Early start. I'm expected in Clapham Junction, first thing.
04:17Whatever for?
04:18Something to do with the local council's closed circuit television system.
04:25Oh. Do you not have anything tomorrow? No. But, must eat soon. At the weekend. Good.
04:40Why? I always think that's where you're happiest. Come on, dogs. Come on.
04:48Come on.
05:07Green with lust. And sick with shyness. Let me lick your lacquer, Jones.
05:17God, oh, gosh, your royal highness. Put your finger up my nose.
05:29John Betjeman was so mad for me that his friend Morris Bower wrote this filthy bone about it.
05:39Pin your teeth upon my dress. Plant my head with watercress. Only you can make me happy. Wrap me in
05:51a woolen nap.
06:01Oh.
06:03Oh, ma'am.
06:08Oh, ma'am.
06:11It...
06:14In a plush and plated wrap...
06:21Wheel me round St. James's, ma'am.
06:26Let your...
06:30Ma'am?
06:34Let your...
06:40Ma'am?
06:42Is she on?
06:43Yes.
06:43This is a smart book a lot.
06:46Oh my God!
07:14Oh my God.
07:15Oh my goodness.

28:03my lifelong companion and support.
28:08Without whom?
28:15Well.
28:19It would be unimaginable.
28:23Dearest Margaret,
28:27many happy returns.
28:40I don't know whether to be touched or cross.
28:43Why?
28:45I've always wanted to sing your praises in public.
28:48Well, it was both uncalled for and rather thrilling.
28:54Everyone is being so nice.
28:57One should be seriously ill more often.
29:03Now listen to that cough.
29:05You haven't started smoking again.
29:07No, of course not.
29:10That was...
29:12cousin Halifax.
29:18Good night, Lilibet.
29:20Good night.
29:44Oh, my God.
30:15Oh.
30:44I don't know.
31:18Hello, you.
31:28Well, goodbye, you.
31:30Stop it.
31:33We'll have you up and out of here in no time.
31:35No.
31:37I'm afraid it's serious.
31:40This time, I can feel it or can't feel it or like.
31:51I can't feel anything or see anything.
31:56My body's deserting me one limb at a time.
32:08The doctors tell me you aren't eating.
32:13I'm really not hungry.
32:17Well, I brought you these, your favourite, jam tarts.
32:26Now you're talking.
32:33And a very pretty walking stick for when you're back on your feet.
32:40Mm-hmm.
32:43Mm-hmm.
32:44Mm-hmm.
35:30So sad.
35:31And such terrible news about Lord Carnarvon too.
35:37Poor chick.
35:40Why?
35:41What's happened?
35:42He collapsed while he was watching the news.
35:46Heart attack.
35:50Poor Jean.
35:52Poor you too.
35:55He was such a special friend.
36:03He would bring horse news, which is the only news I ever really want to hear.
36:09He used to hold up his mobile phone when horse bidding was underway so I could hear the action.
36:15He was devoted to you.
36:20And now all those closest to you are abandoning you one by one.
36:27What are you talking about?
36:29Portie?
36:30Yes.
36:32Mummy? Soon?
36:35Yes.
36:37Me?
36:38Don't you dare.
36:39It's the truth.
36:41I'm not thrilled about it.
36:44In fact I'm furious about it.
36:47I'm not ready to leave this particular party.
36:52But we need to discuss it.
36:55I've written a very detailed plan for my funeral.
37:00You know what a planner I am.
37:03And I want your reassurance that it will go exactly as I intend.
37:13I want to wear my flower dress.
37:17Not some horrid black thing.
37:20And please don't let them put red lipstick on me.
37:25For the chapel I want roses and tulips.
37:30And I want the finale.
37:33To Swan Lake.
37:35Playing on the organs.
37:37People arrive.
37:40And one more thing.
37:43Very important.
37:46Of course.
37:48Promise me.
37:50That I will actually be dead when they close the coffin.
37:58Oh.
38:01Oh, Mum.
38:05Bertie, old egg, said young Eustace.
38:08Fancy meeting you here.
38:10The one man in London who can support us in the style we're accustomed to.
38:16Oh, by the way, you've never met old Dogface, have you?
38:20Dogface?
38:21This is my cousin Bertie.
38:23Hmm.
38:24Is this silly?
38:25No, it's wonderful.
38:27Go on.
38:30What are you doing in London?
38:31I asked.
38:32Oh, buzzing round.
38:34We're just up for the day.
38:36Flying visit.
38:38Strictly unofficial.
38:39We oil back on the 310.
38:42We oil back on the 310.
38:45And now, touching on that lunch you very decently volunteered to stand us.
38:50Which shall it be?
38:52Ritz?
38:53Savoy?
38:54Carlton?
38:55Ritz, please.
38:57Because we love the Ritz, don't we?
39:00Honestly.
39:01You and the Ritz?
39:05If people don't know about that night, they'll never fully understand.
39:11Hmm.
39:12How irresponsible I was.
39:14The scale of the sacrifice you've made.
39:19How much of your true self you've locked up, hidden away.
39:27You caused havoc that night.
39:32It was the end of the war.
39:44Now.
39:47Now, you rest.
41:18You came.
41:19Actually, I'm with friends upstairs and really should go.
41:21Why?
41:22Down here is the place to be.
41:29And why is that?
41:31Because down here there's no rank or background.
41:34Just music.
41:43Well, in that case...
41:58Well, no, it ain't my fault.
42:02I said no, it ain't my fault.
42:07Hell no, it ain't my fault.
42:12You blame her, I blame her.
42:15It ain't my fault.
42:17Let's go!
42:18Well, no, it ain't my fault.
42:22I said no, it ain't my fault.
42:27Well, no, it ain't my fault.
42:32You blame her, I blame her.
42:34It ain't my fault.
42:36Alright.
42:37No, it ain't my fault.
42:41But no, it ain't my fault.
42:45I said no, it ain't my fault.
42:50I said no, it ain't my fault.
42:51You blame her, I blame her.
42:54It ain't my fault.
43:10You two haven't seen Elizabeth, have you?
43:13Stop worrying about her.
43:14She never does anything irresponsible.
43:16Look, she's been a long time.
43:18I'm going to look for her.
43:22I'll come with you, Porchy.
43:27Alright, wait for me.
43:28Go!
43:39consortium
43:40Oh my God!
43:43Go!
43:51Go!
43:52Go!
43:53Go!
43:54Go!
43:55Go!
44:03Come on, Portie.
44:04Let's get her out of here.
44:06No, don't.
44:08Leave her.
44:10Look how happy she is.
44:12Oh!
44:13Chill with her!
44:27Harris.
44:29I'm giving her.
44:31She's great.
44:33I hate you, I love you.
44:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
44:45I hate you.
44:46I hate you.
45:37You dark horse.
45:39You'd have known you could jive.
45:41There must have been 50 men chasing you out.
45:44Don't exaggerate.
45:46What?
45:46I said don't exaggerate.
45:49It's hard to talk.
45:51When you're sloshed.
45:52When you're chewing gum.
45:56When did you get that?
45:58Well, I'm not sure.
46:01I think it might have come after a kiss.
46:03Ninevites!
46:04I didn't intend to kiss him.
46:06This is what everyone else was doing.
46:07They didn't want to be rude.
46:10I think Portia might have seen got a bit cross.
46:12Oh, dear.
46:29Look.
46:31The blossom's out.
46:33Yes.
46:35The sun is rising.
46:40What will this future hold?
46:43For us all?
46:51Aren't you coming?
46:53We can join Mummy and Papa for breakfast.
46:59I'm afraid not.
47:03But I will always be by your side.
47:09No matter what.
47:35Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
47:39When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
47:44Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
47:49Am I lost my heart, but what a bit
48:01He is cold, I agree
48:07He can laugh, but I love it
48:11Although the laugh's on me
48:16I'll sing to him
48:20Each spring to him
48:23And long for the day
48:26When I'll cling to him
48:28Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
48:36Am I
48:42I want you!
48:43Oh, oh, oh, oh
48:47Oh, oh, oh
49:03You're hungry
49:04Oh, oh thank god
49:05Oh my, oh
49:11You
50:07You
50:17You
