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.
00:02:23There.
00:02:29There.
00:02:31There.
00:02:32There.
00:02:35There.
00:02:37Come on.
00:03:06Come on.
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.
00:04:21Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:26Come on.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:35I don't know.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:13Don't you knock, sir?
00:06:33The first thing ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest...
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:06:57I don't know.
00:06:58I don't know.
00:07:21I don't know.
00:07:25I don't know.
00:07:37I don't know.
00:07:40I don't know.
00:07:40I don't know.
00:07:42I don't know.
00:07:56I don't know.
00:08:04I don't know.
00:08:13The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000
00:08:18for the first meeting in Britain of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Graham.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength with everyone turned to his own way.
00:08:41And when you turn to your own way...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age. Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little knife experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04Well, there's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:07But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:12Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:35Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling.
00:09:45Any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:23Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper.
00:10:51Happy birthday to you.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez? Magnifique!
00:11:22Buffet! I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not? At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:57Marc ?
00:12:05Let's gel.
00:12:11Let's get up!
00:12:16I'll get up!
00:12:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
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 11, 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,
00:13:12but 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.
00:13:27I 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 will 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.
00:14:06Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice,
00:14:08who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:14To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government
00:14:32for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38Start 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,
00:14:55do 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
00:15:14to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor
00:15:18and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:27that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37crusades which would not be compatible
00:15:39with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor,
00:15:51has written with a request.
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'd he be a truly great king.
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Hmm.
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 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.
00:16:53Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05Orbert?
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:08Morning.
00:17:09Morning.
00:17:10Morning.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32It'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?
00:17:57Protecting 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 if the British government won't.
00:18:25The U.S. State Department of Justice.
00:18:25My dearest, darling peaches.
00:18:28Let us hope the rest of the trip is 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, pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent 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 somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:33Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:43And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first 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, I've started a campaign.
00:20:07Gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:11Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the Foreign Secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Thank you very much.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can you just make up an excuse and 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?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Airbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally.
00:21:41But I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:47What is a Christian?
00:21:48The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says, that 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?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide it.
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.
00:23:26Which 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've spoken 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.
00:25:29I have no 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 you.
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?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Water, thank you so much.
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 a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He 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, and 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.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy, helping boost our much-needed dollar
00:27:40reserves.
00:27:40A man with 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, the whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier, the 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, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
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?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:18What material?
00:30:46The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier
00:31:21as he was retreating from...
00:31:25Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Lieutenant von Loesch.
00:31:36Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man...
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt.
00:31:50Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his officers were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, Von Loesch,
00:32:14to dispose of all the top secret papers...
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:22And Von Loesch had 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...
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which Von Loesch 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 the 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.
00:33:39Who are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:47And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:57I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:22I hope you hear.
00:34:22Love you, 9v2-5205
00:34:29I want to honor you right now.
00:34:29I want to honor you.
00:34:29I want to praise you.
00:34:29We want to honor me to my left school.
00:34:29Here's my fatigue.
00:34:29I want to honor you,
00:34:31I want to honor you.
00:34:38At first,
00:34:46I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
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 you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:05His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today.
00:36:38who has managed to find three posts where I could 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.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains, to get the Blessing of the Crown.
00:37:05Which 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, David.
00:37:27Mark, let me know, I will not let you know.
00:37:38This will be considered.
00:37:40The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:37:40The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:37:40Your Queen, you didn't let me know that.
00:37:43Thank you, I am the Ć©s of the fact that you will read.
00:37:51The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty
00:38:06Ah yes
00:38:07Your first time back
00:38:09In this room yes
00:38:12That colour was me
00:38:14French grey
00:38:21So
00:38:21Talk to me of the pleasure
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book
00:38:25That you're writing
00:38:26Oh actually I've come here today on another matter
00:38:30A job
00:38:33That while I'm clearly
00:38:35No longer a young man
00:38:36I'm also not yet an old one
00:38:38And might be able to
00:38:39Usefully serve the crown
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country
00:38:46The greatest chance
00:38:49You gave it up
00:38:51Well I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country
00:39:01Anyway
00:39:02One or two ideas
00:39:03Came up
00:39:04For jobs
00:39:06Which would require the blessing
00:39:08Both of government and crown
00:39:10Of course before coming here and bothering you
00:39:12I made sure the support would be given
00:39:15By government
00:39:16And I've been short of that support
00:39:18Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well three possibilities came up
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France
00:39:25The PM and foreign secretary aren't keen
00:39:28On the incumbent
00:39:29That wouldn't jeb
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh as a special liaison to the board of trade
00:39:39The third
00:39:41As a high commissioner
00:39:42Working with the Commonwealth Relations office
00:39:46To protect and promote British interests throughout the world
00:39:49This would suit me I think
00:39:50As it specializes in the practical side
00:39:53Of diplomatic work
00:39:56Entertaining
00:40:00Well
00:40:02I'm sure that you do
00:40:04All three jobs very well indeed
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about
00:40:12About what?
00:40:15About events that took place
00:40:17While you were in Lisbon
00:40:18During the war
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers
00:40:28Which American historians
00:40:31Supported
00:40:31By the French
00:40:33And the British
00:40:34Are now threatening
00:40:36To publish
00:40:37And what exactly
00:40:38Is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters
00:40:42And telegrams
00:40:44Communications
00:40:45Detailing your relationship
00:40:48With Nazi high command
00:40:49Well it's utter nonsense
00:40:52In one telegram
00:40:54From 1940
00:40:56It states that you were considering
00:40:57Publicly going against the government
00:41:00And pledging your support
00:41:01For peace with Germany
00:41:02Thereby breaking with my father the king
00:41:04In another
00:41:05It says that in return for your support
00:41:08The German government
00:41:09Offered you a home
00:41:10In Spain
00:41:11Where you could wait out
00:41:12The rest of the war
00:41:13In peace
00:41:14And safety
00:41:15While your countrymen
00:41:16And gave their lives
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas
00:41:18As the British government instructed
00:41:20Yes you were instructed
00:41:22To go to the Bahamas
00:41:23Because of your views
00:41:27In these papers
00:41:28You're quoted as saying
00:41:30That the FĆ¼hrer's desire for peace
00:41:32Was in complete agreement
00:41:35With your own point of view
00:41:45You were too young to remember
00:41:48I alas not
00:41:51Hitler and his henchmen
00:41:53Were once our friends
00:41:55As king
00:41:57I was committed to the idea
00:42:00Passionately committed
00:42:02That England and Germany
00:42:04Should never be enemies again
00:42:05After the horrors
00:42:06Of 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
00:42:15That we were the ones
00:42:16That made a monster of him
00:42:18By refusing to be his allies
00:42:20This is the point
00:42:22People make stands
00:42:24They grandstands
00:42:25Pat themselves on the back
00:42:27For 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
00:42:36That mattered to me
00:42:39In that spirit
00:42:42I am asking you
00:42:43To make peace with me
00:42:44Today
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British
00:42:50Are a sensible people
00:42:51They will never believe
00:42:52These claims against me
00:42:55They will dismiss these
00:42:57Papers for what they are
00:42:59Baseless rumours
00:43:02And German propaganda
00:43:24Everything all right
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness
00:43:37Goodness, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you
00:43:43Uncle David
00:43:46I think it's time
00:43:47That 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
00:43:56Those were different times
00:43:57He'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
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you
00:44:22What?
00:44:23And tell him of your proposed course of action
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing
00:44:32Go and see him
00:44:33In an unofficial capacity
00:44:35For sherry or tea
00:44:37Or human blood
00:44:38Whatever that monster drinks
00:44:40And ask him about your uncle
00:44:43He was his private secretary
00:44:44While he was king
00:44:45He knows everything there is to know
00:44:47He knows everything there is to know
00:45:27Your majesty
00:45:28Tommy
00:45:28He's terribly inconvenient
00:45:34Ah
00:45:35You're mid-battle
00:45:37Yes, ma'am
00:45:39Now, don't say anything
00:45:41Ah
00:45:43Yes, those uniforms
00:45:45Nineteenth century
00:45:47Yes
00:45:48And that standard is Duke of Wellington
00:45:50Very good, ma'am
00:45:52So is Waterloo
00:45:55Salamanca
00:45:56Ah
00:45:58Oh
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division
00:46:05Very lovely
00:46:06Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am
00:46:09From your grandfather
00:46:11When I was in his service
00:46:12Hmm
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:16Yes
00:46:24I'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
00:47:00I said full possession
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:06Yes, 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 of courtier
00:47:17Men such as Karl
00:47:19The Duke of Saxe-Coburg
00:47:21A renowned Nazi
00:47:23He 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 and sensitive papers
00:47:58In his red box
00:48:00But we needn't have worried
00:48:02Because then we had
00:48:03The 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 in Germany?
00:48:26Hitler!
00:48:27Hitler!
00:48:28Hitler!
00:48:28Hitler!
00:48:28The Fuhrer labelled 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
00:48:39That 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 and 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
00:49:13And of course
00:49:14The full horrors
00:49:15Were yet to come
00:49:16Nonetheless
00:49:18He visited
00:49:27Shall I continue
00:49:28Ma'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
00:50:21Make 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
00:50:58Sin
00:51:01From Psalm 58
00:51:03The wicked are estranged
00:51:05From the womb
00:51:06They go astray
00:51:07As soon as they be born
00:51:08Speaking lies
00:51:09God looks
00:51:11God looks
00:51:12Deep down
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
00:51:21Culture
00:51:22A church member
00:51:23A good standing
00:51:24In the community
00:51:25But it's your heart
00:51:26War 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
00:51:51All spoke in its favour
00:51:55But
00:52:00But
00:52:00On 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
00:52:29Who's fed you
00:52:30This poison
00:52:32Your mother
00:52:34No
00:52:37Tommy Lassels
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
00:52:42Is so thrilled with you
00:52:44The last royal
00:52:45To have a mind of his own
00:52:46Was 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
00:54:07To find out
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:30Your majesty?
00:55:34You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear 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.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:39But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That 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.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Amen.
00:57:32Amen.
00:57:34Amen.
00:57:35Amen.
00:57:42Amen.
00:57:45Amen.
00:57:45Amen.
00:57:46Amen.
00:57:47Amen.
00:57:47Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:48Amen.
00:57:49Amen.
00:57:50Amen.
00:57:52Amen.
00:57:57Amen.
