Short filmTranscript
00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:12It's all right.
02:19Good.
02:20It's okay.
03:07Oh
03:12Your majesty
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements
03:25On what is essentially a private trip
03:27And for flying this way commercially
03:29Oh, it's not so bad
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us
03:35What's the first stop? New York
03:36Ah, San Francisco, then Los Angeles
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona
03:42Oh, lovely
03:43Then on to New York
03:44Where Tony is promoting his book
03:47You've written a book?
03:49Ah, a book of my photographs
03:50Oh, you are clever
03:52You must make time to really relax, too
03:55We will
03:56Be good to one another
03:58Kind to one another
04:01Both of you
04:06Sad she felt the need to say that
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another
04:10Kind to one another
04:11Eight of you
04:13I was a little clumsy
04:17But she means well
04:19Two of us
04:21Are complicated
04:24She and I are complicated
04:27It's true
04:29Elder sister, younger sister
04:32Number one and number two
04:33Who's number one?
04:37You, of course
04:39A natural number one
04:41Whose tragedy it is to have been born number two
04:45That is my button
04:48She knows it, too
04:51Yes, I think she does
04:54That's our battle
04:57Welcome aboard this BAC flight to San Francisco
05:00Please take your seats and relax
05:02We're now ready for departure
05:04And we'll be taxiing shortly
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight
05:18To be continued to be a very important one
05:18Thank you for the one another
05:25You're welcome!
05:26So
05:26I'm so glad
05:26You are a little one
05:26I'm so glad
05:33You're welcome!
05:35You're welcome!
07:06I speak to the president about another bailout. Rescue package. But the president refuses to take his call.
07:13President Johnson is a busy man. Too busy to talk to his oldest ally. Historically, the holder of this office
07:21has the warmest relationship with Downing Street. Think of Churchill and Roosevelt or Truman and Adley. McMillan and JFK.
07:29No need to keep mentioning Jack Kennedy like that.
07:33Keep mentioning?
07:34It's just provocative. Unhelpful. President Johnson is his own man.
07:41Of course. I mentioned it only in the context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty.
07:49The United Kingdom and the United States. Historically, it's like a marriage. Will you talk to him?
08:01No. Screw the Brits. I don't like them. I never liked them. They're not looking down at you through their
08:06noses. They're holding their hands out like beggars. And I don't give a crap about any special relationship.
08:11Harold Wilson wants my help. He should have thought about that when he refused to support me over Vietnam. You
08:15can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers.
08:24The Prime Minister, Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
08:27Prime Minister.
08:41I'm sure that it did not escape your attention that President Johnson failed to attend Sue Winston's funeral.
08:47Yes, on account of a cold.
08:50Well, that was the explanation the White House gave, but it persuaded no one.
08:54Now, I fear that the President may have taken against me for what he sees as my failure to support
09:02him over Vietnam.
09:03And I wondered, in the past, the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat.
09:20And given the predicament, the country finds itself in economically...
09:25You'd like us to roll out the red carpet? Make a bit of a fuss?
09:32Please.
09:34All right. I shall consult the three wise men, see what they have to say.
09:40Thank you, ma'am.
09:44Welcome to San Francisco!
09:45Margaret! Margaret! Over here! Over here!
09:48Picture right this way! Thank you, Margaret!
09:51What we have witnessed in Princess Margaret is a more vibrant, modern, and engaging version of her older sister.
10:00Quite right.
10:02To those accustomed to the formality of traditional royal visits, meeting Princess Margaret has been like going from a black
10:09-and-white film to one in colour.
10:12What about a state dinner?
10:14Like the one held for Woodrow Wilson in 1918?
10:17Or a weekend at Windsor Castle?
10:19The important thing here, I'm told, is that whatever we offer President Johnson, it must exceed whatever we gave the
10:25Kennedys.
10:26When you're snuffling...
10:28Hey, we wanted to see the Queen!
10:31You're seeing something better than the Queen.
10:33What do you think is the main difference between Britain and America?
10:36Well, my sister isn't on the backboards here.
10:39What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:44Liberty.
10:44But when you're crying, you get all the way, so stop your silence, be happy again, keep on smiling, cause
11:00when you're smiling, the whole world starts with you.
11:07You're smiling, darling.
11:09What news of Princess Margaret?
11:11Well, after three days in San Francisco, Her Royal Highness has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
11:16Any disasters I should be aware of?
11:18No, on the contrary, the trip seems to have been a great success.
11:22Really?
11:23Yes, rave reviews, all the newspapers.
11:26With even a name having been coined for the multitude of fans and well-wishers who have followed her every
11:31step of the way.
11:33Which is?
11:34Margaretologists.
11:36Margaretologists?
11:38Yes, ma'am.
11:39Fans who have delighted in Her Royal Highness's intelligence and articulacy, her beauty and charm.
11:44With one newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, even going so far as to say...
11:48Yes, all right. Thank you, Martin.
11:49Yes, ma'am.
11:50I'm a queen, not a saint.
11:51That's it. Try not to smile.
12:10I gave it. Not once, not twice, but three times, and you ignored it.
12:15What?
12:16A signal! Our signal that I wanted to leave.
12:19I didn't see it.
12:21You know, as well as I, that if you are the guest of honour, you cannot just leave.
12:28In the course of our marriage, I have lost count of the number of times you've walked out as guest
12:32of honour.
12:33Once or twice.
12:34All the bloody time.
12:36When it's dreary.
12:37When it suits you.
12:39Well, the people are ugly and dull.
12:43These people were musing.
12:46Attracting.
12:48And made me feel good.
12:51No, no, no, no.
12:51The alcohol made you feel good.
12:55And blunted your judgment to the sycophancy of the people surrounding you.
13:00Is that right?
13:01Yes. Keys.
13:02Well, sadly, it's not blunted my judgment to your mean-spiritedness and jealousy and general pusenalaminity.
13:15Pusenalamin...
13:17Small-mindedness.
13:20I don't recognise this.
13:23Hmm.
13:25Come to think of it.
13:26I don't recognise you.
13:31Actually, nor did anyone else.
13:34I mean, if we're honest.
13:39Isn't that the real problem here?
13:41Hmm?
13:44Oh, I'm sorry.
13:46And you are...
13:49Tony who?
13:50Oh, yeah.
13:51The husband guy.
13:54It's not easy.
13:55Sometimes.
13:57What is not easy?
14:00Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess.
14:05Don't talk to me about being a second fiddle.
14:08I get so little I'm like...
14:12No, it's the price I pay for the sister I have.
14:16But if the opportunity should once arise for me to shine, I'd appreciate you putting aside the competitive little narcissist
14:26that rages within you.
14:41I promise that once we get to New York, the spotlight will be entirely on you and your book.
14:52I'll take a back seat and be the adoring and supportive, number two, you want me to be.
15:00And nothing will make me happier.
15:15Now, you can tell me, oh, you want 50,000, 100,000 more boots on the ground are going to
15:19resolve this.
15:21But I put 100,000 more men in there, who's to say that Ho Chi Minh isn't going to put
15:25100,000 more?
15:26A man can't fight if he can't see daylight at the end of the road.
15:31I want to see solutions, gentlemen, solutions, not more numbers.
15:37By God, I will not be the first American president to lose a goddamn war.
15:44That'll be all.
15:45Yes, sir, it's better.
15:58What is this?
16:00A peace offering from the Brits.
16:02Open to secure the bailout.
16:06A weekend shooting at Balmoral?
16:09Yes, sir.
16:10That's as good as it gets.
16:12Even Kennedy never got that.
16:15Really?
16:16He got a banquet, Naval Guard of Honor, but never a weekend shooting in Scotland.
16:22No one has gotten that.
16:27Hmm.
16:34Still, that's a long flight.
16:37Followed by a long drive.
16:40Stay in some creepy haunted castle.
16:43The weather's terrible.
16:44The weather's terrible.
16:47And it would involve making small talk to fancy people.
16:52Then when you go shooting, there's rules.
16:55Things you do and don't do.
16:58Which would involve researching, learning, cutting my nails, and I'd still get it all wrong.
17:07And then everybody would laugh at me, and they'd say how I wouldn't know Jack Kennedy who would know exactly
17:12which knife and fork to use and which bird to shoot.
17:16So my position has changed.
17:18So my position has not changed.
17:20It is still no thank you, your majesty.
17:25Tomorrow there's a reception given by the Council of Engineering Institutions at the Science Museum, followed by an audience with
17:32His Excellency Gudmundur Gudmundsson, the new ambassador from the Republic of Iceland.
17:37Thank you, Michael.
17:38And where are we with President Johnson?
17:41Ah.
17:42We went back offering weekend shooting at Balmoral.
17:46Did we?
17:47Lucky LBJ.
17:48We don't get enough of those ourselves.
17:50And?
17:50No response, ma'am.
17:52What?
17:53Nothing.
17:53Complete silence.
17:55That's a first?
17:56Yes.
17:58And probably not what Downing Street was hoping for.
18:00Is everyone panicking?
18:01Slightly.
18:02What about Princess Margaret?
18:04I was safely arrived in Arizona, ma'am.
18:06Oh.
18:06Well, that's something.
18:07At the Douglas family ranch?
18:09Yes.
18:10I've never been.
18:11What do we know about it?
18:12They say it's quite something.
18:13A beautiful 19th century country house set under the Santa Rita Mountains in miles and miles of wide open desert.
18:33Where else have we arrived?
18:37Where after the garden was observed within ways, I kept going in their house and so forth, and he "' arrival
18:38there."
18:38Why you says so much?
18:39I'm out.
18:58Well, he says it or nothing is inevitable.
18:59A year or nine times in charges appears to be searched in suspicion,
18:59If that's the place from to return all at a Johannesburg,
18:59it'll Jaime Featuring this dream.
19:00You will wait for 10,000 years now.
19:00Okay, I'm here.
19:01Tony brace yourselves your royal royal heinous no blink here no kissing

19:40heroics you hated every minute didn't you maybe that's irrelevant the newspapers didn't
19:51page after page about how extraordinary you are what an asset to the crown how underused you are
19:59what a secret weapon how deserving you are of the spotlight your elder sister eclipsed and outshone

20:39with the prime minister just got off the phone with the queen don't tell me everybody's pissed
20:44the general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister that's one thing but
20:50no one gets to insult the crown sir it's like uh treason or something how have I insulted the crown
20:57by not accepting the queen's invitation sir well I didn't refuse just haven't replied

21:29make it
21:29all good with some bursts you bullshit we don't have that here
21:38buck stops with me who the hell am I supposed to call if I want to issue an invitation to
21:44get me out
21:45of trouble well you call me sir your oldest friend I come up with a sensible plan to get us
21:50all out of
21:51trouble all right come up with a plan well sir I just did this is the plan right here
22:00who in god's name is that
22:04they came to land at oakland airport and here as in san francisco crowds met and cheered them
22:10everywhere they went the princess was radiant obviously enjoying herself it wasn't long before
22:16her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion the american people and their press
22:22have warmed to the couple enchanted by the natural display of charm and friendliness
22:28prime minister for you ma'am said it was urgent
22:35prime minister just to say we've finally had a response from the american
22:43they've come back with an invitation of their own
22:47to dinner at the white house for me for princess margaret
22:54oh that's cunning yes that way president johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer
23:00no it also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout
23:07indeed but we think not all is lost that princess margaret should accept the invitation go to the white house
23:14and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the british cause
23:21it would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy
23:26for which you want to send princess margaret yes well that had been my reaction
23:32but her trip to america has been a terrific success
23:36so i gather
23:39so will you ask her
23:42everybody fell for the princess
23:44if those are my instructions
23:48please
23:54well
23:55well

24:19no
24:20no
24:20it's the queen
24:35hello you
24:37hello you
24:40sorry to disturb
24:41i know you're on holiday so you don't want to hear this
24:44what
24:44we've had an invitation from the white house
24:47for you to go to washington
24:49and have dinner with the president and the first lady
24:52and we'd like you to attend
24:54when
24:55this wednesday
24:57ah can't
25:00why not
25:02i'm going to be in new york
25:04for teddy's book launch
25:08perhaps i should make it clear
25:10there is rather a lot riding on it
25:12and everyone is keen very keen for you to go
25:15perhaps i should make it clear
25:18that nothing is going to stop me
25:20from supporting my husband
25:21just like you asked me to
25:23margaret
25:53i'm going to be in new york
25:53we don't want to get out of the woods
25:53but i'm going to read the morgue
26:04Dear Margaret,
26:06As a wife, I understand your desire to support Tony.
26:09You know that it was my honest hope
26:11that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous, more encouraging to each other.
26:18But for now, such considerations must be put aside.
26:23I have asked you this once as a sister,
26:25and now I must command it as your queen.
26:31Your Royal Highness, sir, thank you so much for agreeing to this.
26:37The most recent list of people attending the dinner,
26:40with some brief biographies of those expected to sit close to you.
26:43What I'm asking you to do amounts to much more
26:47than simply attending a dinner.
26:53Currently, there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity
26:58that require a concerted effort on our part.
27:02We must heal the divisions that are emerging
27:05between Britain and its American cousins.
27:08You've often lamented that you have nothing to do,
27:11but you are a wasted resource.
27:13Well, the task you are embarking on today
27:16could not be more crucial.
27:19Britain currently has a deficit of 800 million pounds.
27:24What we need is a bailout of at least 1,000 million.
27:32Only the Americans can give it to us.
27:38I know you like to do things your own way,
27:42but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity,
27:46and I would urge you for once
27:49to play things by the book.
27:54What happens if I fail?
27:56We don't get the bailout.
27:59Then we break our promises to the IMF,
28:03exhaust the credit facilities available to us,
28:06face a run on Sterling,
28:08and the government would be left with no option
28:10but to devalue the pound.
28:11Mm-hmm.
28:13And that's bad?
28:14Devaluation.
28:15It's worse than bad.
28:17It would relegate Sterling to the second division
28:19of the world's currencies
28:20and Britain to the third division
28:22of the world's economies.
28:24It would mean international humiliation,
28:27political ignominy, and...
28:31financial ruin.
28:40Minus?
28:41President Johnson.
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now
29:27to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:34I...
29:36I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course
29:42had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks
29:45about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were...
29:48less than discreet.
29:50I met him once,
29:52Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly
29:57underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02I'm sorry.
30:04Did I say something wrong?
30:05I do know these days
30:06one's not allowed
30:07to think
30:09anything
30:09other
30:10than what a great statesman
30:12Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:14Of course he'll say nothing.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand
30:20better than most
30:21the frustrations
30:22and resentments
30:23that can build up
30:25from a life
30:26as a number two.
30:28A support act.
30:31Even of someone
30:32you adore.
30:36You spent three years
30:38as Vice President.
30:39I've spent my whole life
30:41as Vice Queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a
30:46Vice Queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place
30:50to deal with the fallout?
30:51Oh no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed.
30:56Thoroughly.
30:57Enthusiastically.
30:58Unreservedly.
30:59He said,
31:00um,
31:01if I remember rightly,
31:04Jack Kennedy
31:05would have killed
31:06his own mother
31:06just to take the skin
31:08off her ass
31:08to make a drum
31:09to beat his own praises.
31:19Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led
31:24to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing
31:28is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn
31:31led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them,
31:35I'm afraid to say,
31:37a little off-color.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:46Well, the first one
31:48went a little bit.
31:51There was a young woman
31:52from Delaware
31:53who liked to make love.
31:58Liked me love.
31:59Delaware.
32:00Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude
32:05and her bum hips
32:06and tits
32:07she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president
32:15countered with
32:16there was a young man
32:17from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed
32:19with an enormously large
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone
32:27thought that was
32:27long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:33Princess Margaret
32:34won the evening
32:35with this one.
32:37There was a young lady
32:38from Dallas
32:39who used a dynamite
32:42stick as a phallus.
32:44They found her.
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina
32:54in North Carolina.
32:55And her arsehole
32:56in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:08Then, apparently,
33:10there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be
33:38I can be
33:39Greater
33:39Sooner
33:40Or later
33:41I'm greater
33:42than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:50She finally
33:51stagged home
33:51at four in the morning
33:52newly anglophile
33:54President Johnson
33:55having agreed
33:56to the bailout.
33:57A special relationship
33:59more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:02That's what I thought,
34:04you crook.
34:04And all because
34:05Margaret was all the things
34:07I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:10All the things I could never be.
34:12Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:18Well, you're all those things, too.
34:20No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two,
34:27I would pick
34:28dependability
34:29every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice
34:34to be dazzling
34:34on occasion, too.
34:37You are dazzling.
34:38Mm.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:41Mm.
34:42Anything you can say,
34:43I can say,
34:44faster.
34:45I can say anything
34:46faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:51Take it, take it, take it,
34:52take it, take it,
34:53take it,
34:53take it.
35:15Prime Minister.
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness.
35:20Very well played.
35:22Thank you, sir.
35:23Shall we?
35:24Shall we?
35:26Shall we?
35:26Shall we?
35:42Shall we?
35:44Shall we?
35:45Shall we?
35:47Shall we?
36:11Hail the conquering heroine.
36:13Ah, yes.
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now, any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of envy, spite,
36:22good-natured teasing to keep one's feet on the ground.
36:26Everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally.
36:30Oh, better than that.
36:31He met me at the airport.
36:34Ah.
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs and your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking in view of how well it
36:57all went.
36:59About us doing it more often.
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties.
37:08But we didn't share duties.
37:09You just went to a dinner party.
37:14And represented crown and country with, I think we can agree, favourable results.
37:24Isn't it possible that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do.
37:30Far too much pressure.
37:32Far too much responsibility.
37:34And I, too little.
37:36Having no role.
37:38Having nothing to do.
37:39Is soul-destroying.
37:45All I'm asking is if you were prepared to share a little more.
37:52For things are sakes.
38:03Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:11Don't tell me you've softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else by not having a more meaningful role.
38:22Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability and character and intelligence and flair, she does not deserve to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider expanding the role?
38:36Sharing the job a bit more.
38:38There are two answers to that question.
38:41Neither makes for pretty listening.
38:46Yes, the system is unequal.
38:49Unjust and cruel.
38:51And primogeniture divides and destroys families.
38:54The system stinks.
38:56But in its cruelty and injustice, it reflects something else which is harsh and brutal.
39:02Which no one is suggesting we rearrange.
39:09We all desire equality, but here's the thing.
39:13We were not born equal.
39:18And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once I got drunk with that god-awful monster Tommy Lassels?
39:26Well, that night, he shared with me his theory about the House of Windsor.
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since.
39:35Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine a mythological creature.
39:44A rice-addler.
39:46A polycephalus.
39:48A two-headed eagle.
39:50For the purposes of this conversation, I want you to think of it as representing us.
39:55This family.
39:58Your family.
40:00And there have always been the dazzling Windsors and the dull ones.
40:04Your father.
40:06A saint.
40:07But dull.
40:09Sorry.
40:11Your grandfather too.
40:13George V?
40:14Deadly dull.
40:16At the height of the Great War, when the Tsar and the Kaiser and the Emperor of Austria were dazzling
40:23the world, where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album.
40:27His wife.
40:28Queen Mary?
40:29Wonderful.
40:29Ditchwater.
40:31And so it goes, through George V to Queen Victoria and back, an uninterrupted line of stolid, turgid drearings.
40:40Culminating in me.
40:41Yes, but...
40:44Alongside that dull, dutiful, reliable, heroic strain, runs another.
40:52The dazzling, the brilliant, the individualistic, and the dangerous.
40:59And so, for every Victoria, you get an Edward VII.
41:04For every George V, you get a Prince Eddie.
41:07For every George VI, you get an Edward VIII.
41:12For every Lilibet, you get a Margaret.
41:17And she may have had a success in Washington.
41:20But let's not delude ourselves that serious diplomacy can be achieved through drinking and dancing.
41:26Let Margaret have the glory.
41:28But let's not rewrite the constitutional rule book because she got lucky once.
41:33And where does that leave my relationship with her?
41:35Unchanged.
41:37You're the Queen.
41:39And she's your dangerous baby sister.
41:45She's outside.
41:46She knows we're talking about her.
41:48Then let's join her.
41:50That feverish mind of hers needs no encouragement.
42:32What you're suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701,
42:40not the wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:53Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne.
42:56Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the
43:07rule book so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play.
43:14Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
43:19Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
43:19Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
44:03Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
44:04Princess Baba, chamado Jade and sisters, ma'am, will be from the wings.
44:04Souza yana, will be the twins.
44:04Princess Denise, ma'am, will be the Dwight Gulls of 24, 1899 and yours, ma'am, will be from the
44:13wings.
44:19Hoor
