00:00:00You
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:23Continue.
00:02:29Die.
00:02:31Die.
00:02:32Die.
00:02:33Die.
00:02:36Die.
00:02:38Die.
00:02:39Die.
00:02:40Die.
00:02:40Die.
00:02:52I don't know.
00:03:25I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:21I don't know.
00:04:23I don't know.
00:04:24I don't know.
00:04:26I don't know.
00:04:34I don't know.
00:04:36I don't know.
00:04:40I don't know.
00:04:42I don't know.
00:05:11I believe he walked out of there.
00:05:13I believe he walked out of there.
00:05:48I believe he walked out of there.
00:06:13I believe he walked out of there.
00:06:39I believe he walked out of there.
00:07:29I believe he walked out of there.
00:07:31I believe he walked out of there.
00:08:01I believe he walked out of there.
00:08:51I believe he walked out of there.
00:09:01I believe he walked out of there.
00:09:27I believe he walked out of there.
00:09:57I believe he walked out of there.
00:10:50I believe he walked out of there.
00:10:57I believe he walked out of there.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48I believe he walked out of there.
00:12:15Go, go, go!
00:12:19You're going to get to be with you.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me.
00:12:57The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens.
00:13:03Then at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:28I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice, who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived
00:15:32as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:31Oh.
00:17:31It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:56Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing
00:18:12if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches,
00:18:27let us hope the rest of the trip
00:18:30is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people,
00:18:41pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly
00:18:51by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen,
00:19:01sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house
00:19:14somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever,
00:19:30and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit
00:19:34can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting
00:19:38by His Royal Highness,
00:19:39it might be seen as a violation of the agreement
00:19:42made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself
00:19:46not only being asked to leave the country,
00:19:48but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived,
00:19:54first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding,
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury,
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley,
00:20:18the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:06Can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:24What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:32Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today,
00:21:37I considered various topics which speak to me personally,
00:21:41but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says,
00:21:53that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:24Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely as Queen to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I ever spoke in public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29One day I was interested in acting.
00:24:45The school principal did not do something.
00:24:45It's a difficult part of proving how it looked at the family and the family.
00:24:47It's an important part of proving how it was in the future.
00:24:49The next part of the family was a good friend of course.
00:24:58I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have an objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:34Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well there.
00:26:36Water, thank you so much.
00:26:37I'm on this.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my Council of War, my Brains Trust, politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a Major General attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:31Well, then, yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man that charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:57Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now, all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say, wait and pray.
00:28:42But all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country?
00:28:53Turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their inspiration.
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:10The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:25I can truthfully say, all is well.
00:29:29Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:40Good morning, sir.
00:29:42Right to bed?
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet,
00:29:54the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material
00:30:06which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:17I'm in for a fantastic way.
00:30:21I'm out.
00:30:22Yeah.
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:35Yeah.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from...
00:31:24Trevurte, near Eisenach, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Magnat von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator, ma'am, Hitler's personal translator...
00:31:48was Dr Schmidt, Dr Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:53Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret papers...
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material...
00:32:34hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back...
00:33:08There was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command...
00:33:16with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say...
00:33:23the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39You are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files...
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country?
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:37I hope you have a strong stomach!
00:34:37This is the one I would not take my ownSSR.
00:34:38If you have a strong stomach or a strong stomach...
00:34:43If you do not know, you are next!
00:34:43I will need a strong stomach.
00:34:43He will not relax.
00:34:43You are now in the same mood!
00:34:50You are also in the same mood.
00:35:15You're Roy Linus.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:36:00To a happy and purposeful future, I'd like to hear you indeed.
00:36:06His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:22His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find three posts where I
00:36:41could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58I am so happy.
00:36:59Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15I'm counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:19Your loving husband.
00:37:23David.
00:37:51The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:37:52The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah yes, your first time back.
00:38:09In this room yes.
00:38:12That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21so talk to me of the pleasure I assume it's about this new book that you're writing
00:38:26no actually I've come here today on another matter a job
00:38:33that while I'm clearly no longer a young man I'm also not yet an old one
00:38:38and might be able to usefully serve the crown
00:38:43you had a chance to serve this country the greatest chance you gave it up but I gave
00:38:52it up because of the way my wife was treated not because I no longer wish to serve this country
00:39:01anyway one or two ideas came up for jobs which would require the blessing both of government
00:39:09and crown of course before coming here and bothering you I made sure the support would
00:39:15be given by government and I've been short of that support support for what jobs
00:39:20well three possibilities came up the first is the ambassadorship to France the PM and foreign
00:39:27secretary aren't keen on the incumbent that wouldn't jeb
00:39:31and the second option oh as a special liaison to the board of trade the third as a high commissioner
00:39:43working with the Commonwealth relations office to protect and promote British interests throughout
00:39:49the world this would suit me I think as it specializes in practical side of diplomatic work entertaining
00:40:02well I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed
00:40:09but in light of what I've recently learned about about what about events that took place while you were in
00:40:18Lisbon during the war from whom from state papers which state papers German state papers which American
00:40:30historians supported by the French and the British are now threatening to publish and what exactly is in
00:40:39these papers letters and telegrams communications detailing your relationship with Nazi high command
00:40:49well it's utter nonsense in one telegram from 1940 it states that you were considering publicly going against the government
00:41:00and pledging your support for peace with Germany thereby breaking with my father the king in another it says that
00:41:06in return for your support the German government and
00:41:09the German government offered you a home in Spain where you could wait out the rest of the war in
00:41:13peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed yes you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because
00:41:23of your views in these papers you're quoted as saying that the Fuhrer's desire for peace was in complete agreement
00:41:35with your own point of view
00:41:45you
00:41:46you were too young to remember I alas not
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends
00:41:55as king I was committed to the idea passionately committed
00:42:02that England and Germany should never be enemies again after the horrors of the great war
00:42:07people forget
00:42:09there was no indication
00:42:10of who Hitler would become
00:42:14you could argue that
00:42:15we were the ones that made a monster of him
00:42:18by refusing to be his allies
00:42:20this is the point
00:42:22people make stands
00:42:24their grandstands
00:42:25that pat themselves on the back for their great virtue
00:42:28and what is the consequence
00:42:30another grotesque war
00:42:31millions more dead
00:42:34when peace was all that mattered to me
00:42:39in that spirit
00:42:42I am asking you to make peace with me
00:42:44today
00:42:48Elizabeth the British are a sensible people
00:42:51they will never believe these claims against me
00:42:55they will dismiss these papers for what they are
00:43:01baseless rumors and
00:43:03German propaganda
00:43:24everything all right
00:43:30can I ask your opinion
00:43:31of course
00:43:33what about
00:43:36forgiveness
00:43:37goodness
00:43:38what have I done now
00:43:40no not you
00:43:43Uncle David
00:43:46I think it's time that he be forgiven
00:43:48are you mad?
00:43:49you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not?
00:43:52what he did to this country
00:43:53those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me
00:43:58I bet he did
00:44:00Philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me
00:44:06it's not often I say this
00:44:08so perhaps if I do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:17ask
00:44:18ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you
00:44:22what?
00:44:23tell him of your proposed course of action
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28why not?
00:44:30well
00:44:30he's retired for one thing
00:44:32go and see him
00:44:33in an unofficial capacity
00:44:35for sherry or tea
00:44:36or human blood
00:44:38whatever that monster drinks
00:44:40and ask him about your uncle
00:44:42he was his private secretary while he was king
00:44:45he knows everything there is to know
00:44:47he has to know
00:44:47he is not gonna ride

00:46:09from your grandfather
00:46:11when I was in his service
00:46:14shall we ma'am
00:46:16yes
00:46:25I'm proposing
00:46:26to let the Duke of Windsor
00:46:28back into public life
00:46:30and as an example of a Christian
00:46:32in a Christian country
00:46:35to forgive
00:46:39your majesty
00:46:40that would
00:46:42in my view
00:46:45be a mistake
00:46:48why
00:46:51before you make your decision ma'am
00:46:53I believe you should be in full possession
00:46:55of the facts
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files
00:46:58so have I
00:46:59I said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more
00:47:05yes ma'am
00:47:09the Duke of Windsor
00:47:10made his loyalties clear
00:47:12as soon as he became king
00:47:14surrounded himself
00:47:15with a new breed
00:47:16of courtier
00:47:17men such as Carl
00:47:19the Duke of Saxe-Coburg
00:47:21a renowned Nazi
00:47:22he also shared
00:47:25classified allied documents
00:47:26with the Duchess of Windsor
00:47:28who was
00:47:28herself
00:47:29we believe
00:47:30sharing a bed
00:47:32forgive me ma'am
00:47:33with the German ambassador
00:47:35Herr Ribbentrop
00:47:54it became so bad
00:47:55that the government
00:47:56had to stop
00:47:56putting secret
00:47:57and sensitive papers
00:47:58in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried
00:48:02because then
00:48:03we had the application
00:48:09having promised to retire
00:48:11from public life
00:48:12we now know
00:48:13that he had no such intention
00:48:15why else would the pair of them
00:48:16decide to visit Hitler
00:48:18in Germany
00:48:28the Fuhrer
00:48:30labeled the trip
00:48:31an unofficial state visit
00:48:32so it is unsurprising
00:48:34that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess
00:48:38that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate
00:48:46the Duke of Windsor
00:48:48as King of England
00:48:50effectively betraying
00:48:51and dethroning
00:48:52your dear late father
00:48:54in return
00:48:55for German forces
00:48:57being given free reign
00:48:58across Europe
00:49:00German troops
00:49:01were even promised
00:49:02to quell a colonial rebellion
00:49:04if necessary
00:49:06and there were visits
00:49:08to SS training schools
00:49:10and early versions
00:49:11of the concentration camps
00:49:13now of course
00:49:14the full horrors
00:49:15were yet to come
00:49:16nonetheless
00:49:17he visited
00:49:27shall I continue
00:49:28shall I continue ma'am
00:49:29shall I continue ma'am
00:49:29shall I continue ma'am
00:49:34when a German aircraft
00:49:36crashed in Belgium
00:49:37carrying Hitler's entire
00:49:38military plan
00:49:40for the invasion of France
00:49:41the Duke wasted no time
00:49:42in letting his Nazi friends
00:49:45know that Allied forces
00:49:46had indeed recovered
00:49:47this priceless information
00:49:49which gave Germany time
00:49:51to change its plans
00:49:53and in less than a month
00:49:56Paris fell to German occupation
00:50:00but perhaps worst of all
00:50:01the Duke told the German government
00:50:05that resolve in the United Kingdom
00:50:07in the face of the German aerial bombardment
00:50:09was weakening
00:50:10and that continued bombing
00:50:13that is the continued slaughter
00:50:15of his fellow countrymen
00:50:17and former subjects
00:50:18would I quote
00:50:19soon make Britain ready for peace
00:50:51The problems of the world
00:50:52can be summed up
00:50:53in one three-letter word
00:50:56S-I-N
00:50:59Sin
00:51:01from Psalm 58
00:51:03The wicked are estranged from the womb
00:51:06they go astray
00:51:07as soon as they be born
00:51:08speaking lies
00:51:10God looks
00:51:11deep
00:51:12down
00:51:13inside
00:51:14God sees
00:51:16how you really are
00:51:17down inside
00:51:18now you may be out
00:51:19with legion teeth
00:51:20we're fine
00:51:21coaching
00:51:22a church member
00:51:23a good standing
00:51:24in the community
00:51:25but it's your heart
00:51:26and heart of God
00:51:34I've had a chance
00:51:35to think about your request
00:51:36to serve your country
00:51:40I was keen to help you
00:51:42and weighing it all up
00:51:45the amount of time
00:51:47that has passed
00:51:49and my affection for you
00:51:51personally
00:51:52all spoke in its favour
00:51:56but
00:52:00but
00:52:01on balance
00:52:04I think not
00:52:08and I'm sure
00:52:08you don't need reminding
00:52:10that under the terms
00:52:11of the agreement
00:52:12reached after the abdication
00:52:13you are permitted
00:52:14to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure
00:52:16and invitation
00:52:17of the Sovereign
00:52:20yes
00:52:22I find myself
00:52:23unable to grant
00:52:24that permission
00:52:29and who's fed you
00:52:30this poison
00:52:32your mother
00:52:34no
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's
00:52:38I came to my own mind
00:52:40well you have no mind
00:52:41of your own
00:52:42that's why everyone's
00:52:42so thrilled with you
00:52:44the last royal
00:52:45to have a mind
00:52:46of his own was me
00:52:46and that's why
00:52:47they threw me out
00:52:48fine
00:52:50I will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage
00:52:58to the monarchy
00:52:59me with my
00:53:01willfulness
00:53:01or you lot
00:53:02with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes
00:53:10our ears
00:53:11to what was being said
00:53:13about you
00:53:15we dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications
00:53:18as cruel chatter
00:53:19in light of your decision
00:53:21to give up the throne
00:53:22but when the truth
00:53:23finally came out
00:53:25the truth
00:53:29it makes a mockery
00:53:30of even the central tenets
00:53:31of Christianity
00:53:33there is no possibility
00:53:35of my forgiving you
00:53:36the question is
00:53:38how on earth
00:53:39can you forgive yourself
00:53:40can you forgive yourself
00:54:02can you forgive yourself
00:54:10or can you forgive yourself
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning.
00:54:30Morning.
00:54:31Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39We have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:22Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:33You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to
00:55:59hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23Yes.
00:56:24No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:38But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45True.
00:56:46That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself.
00:57:24Humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31To forgive.
00:57:31To forgive.
00:58:00To forgive or for Christians.
00:58:01To forgive, for delayped restraint.
00:59:31We've all agreed to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have in
00:59:35common.
00:59:36Which is?
01:00:05It's you.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:35He, he, he.
01:01:01Ah, that's nice.
01:01:16That's nice.
01:01:36That's nice.
01:01:39That's nice.
01:01:50That's nice.
01:01:53That's nice.
01:01:58That's nice.
01:02:07That's nice.
01:02:09That's nice.
01:02:12That's nice.
01:02:21That's nice.
01:02:26That's nice.
01:02:28That's nice.
01:02:31That's nice.
01:02:37That's nice.
01:02:50That's nice.
01:02:52That's nice.
01:03:02That's nice.
01:03:04That's nice.
01:03:13That's nice.
01:03:21Looks like he can.
01:03:27That's nice.
