Transcript
00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:36We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:50Hansington, 3742.
01:53Tommy.
02:13Come on.
02:16Bye.
02:17Bye.
02:24когда
03:41It's wonderful to be back amongst you.
03:45As you know, I went away to concentrate on my health.
03:51I'm now fully fit to resume my duties.
03:56Thanks.
04:02Quiet, everyone.
04:02Sit down.
04:03Come on.
04:04Now, he's sent some notes to accompany the footage, so I'll read aloud.
04:15Hello, all of you.
04:16Hello.
04:18Hello, Daddy.
04:19Hello, Daddy.
04:20I can picture you all perfectly sitting there wishing it was Creature from the Black Lagoon.
04:27But instead, this is just boring old me arriving at King George Island.
04:35Look!
04:37A hundred miles off the coast of Antarctica.
04:40There's your Daddy.
04:41Is that Daddy?
04:43And nestled between the white bones of ancient Wales.
04:47Here we've made some new friends and Mike was rather smitten.
04:51Look how tall they are.
04:52He's got a beard.
04:53Yes, yes, they're all grown beards.
04:55It makes them look a bit shifty.
04:57Oh, no, don't say that.
04:58It makes them look like an explorer.
05:05What's that?
05:06Oh, yes, this is very funny, Molly.
05:07We've even installed some signage so we can find our way home.
05:12Oh, Buckingham Palace.
05:14Oh, that's good.
05:15I like that.
05:16It's a bit of a commute to the office, though.
05:31Luckily, we found some friends for company.
05:33The British Hunting Aerosurvey teams
05:36who make excellent tennis companions.
05:39Oh, look, they're all plain tennis.
05:42It's so silly.
05:43What does that mean?
05:44Some things about huskies that you never knew.
05:47They have eyes of different colours.
05:49Oh, like the Kaiser.
05:51Mummy.
05:53But most of all, they really, really like tennis balls.
05:58Yes, we can see that.
05:59And they have claws to ensure they don't slip on the ice.
06:02Oh, look, now Philip's on one.
06:11Joining our family of animals are the penguins and seals
06:16who send their love to you all, as do I.
06:21Your loving papa and husband, Philip.

08:53e
08:56Dear Philip, I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the film you sent.
09:02It was lovely to set eyes on you again.
09:06And the children were very impressed by the whales and penguins.
09:11You looked very handsome, I thought, in your wailing outfit.
09:16And a suit, too.
09:20And I could never forget what my grandmother said to me about being married to a man with this.
09:29She goes on, but actually, no, I'm not going to repeat that.
09:32Oh, come on, come on, come on.
09:40I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome away to his Royal Highness.
10:12Good morning.
10:13Good morning.
10:14Good morning.
10:15Good morning.
10:16First of all, I must thank you for the way in which you've all carried on with us.
10:24And for the manner in which Rab has very competently stood in for me in my absence.
10:30You've kept me informed of all the major decisions that had to be taken.
10:35In all these months, we have been a united government.
10:40And we shall remain a united government.
10:44But we're not a united government, are we, Anthony?
10:48The war you insisted on has left us as divided as Caesar and Pompey and the country in chaos.
10:55There is no petrol in the pumps. There are no tins on the shelves.
10:59Our allies are aligned against us. Our international reputation is in tatters.
11:04How adroitly your weathervane spins, Harold.
11:10You were for the war, as I remember.
11:15Only as long as it was legal.
11:21You...
11:22Liar!
11:28Liar!
11:30You wanted it every bit as much as I did!
11:37Torn-off masses. Scalp with your own fingernails, given the chance.
11:42Taking the oil from that canal and set the Middle East ablaze!
11:46You've lost the trust of the people and of the party.
11:49It's the end of the road.
11:52The road?
11:53Would you willingly let me down?
12:01And would you abandon me?
12:05Here.
12:22All of you.
12:27Come now, Anthony.
12:30You know as well as I.
12:35There is no justice in politics.
12:59Captain Laffles.
13:02Mrs. Parker.
13:04What brings you here?
13:06Oh.
13:08A retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London.
13:13What are you reading, may I ask?
13:15Tell me that it's romantic poetry.
13:17Yeah, military history.
13:19The campaigns of Napoleon.
13:23Your son?
13:24Yes.
13:25Lieutenant Commander Parker must be very proud.
13:27He might be, if he knew what the children looked like.
13:31He's away again, on tour.
13:33I have my sympathy.
13:35I know from my own wife how difficult that can be, being left alone with the children for days, sometimes
13:41weeks on end.
13:43Well, I'm sure that strong marriages find a way through it.
13:47I'm afraid it's broken, Arsenal.
13:50I am sad to hear that.
13:53Might I ask you to hold off on any instruction or public announcement just a little while longer.
14:00As we both know, the Duke of Edinburgh is performing important royal duties on this tour.
14:05And we wouldn't want any story breaking in the newspapers that might undermine his efforts.
14:13Or impugn the royal marriage.
14:16That's what you came here for, isn't it?
14:20This wasn't a coincidence at all.
14:22You came here because you knew it's where I'd be.
14:25And you wanted to put in a word on their behalf.
14:28It's pathetic.
14:30Still there round the clock, Lackey, even in retirement.
14:37Oh!
14:38Oh!
14:39Oh!
14:41Oh!
14:42Oh!
14:43Oh!
14:44Oh!
14:44Oh!
14:45Oh!
14:46Oh!
14:47Oh!
14:48Oh!
14:54Oh!
14:54Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.
14:56I've just had a call from Dining Street.
14:59The Prime Minister has requested an audience as a matter of urgency.
15:03He's on the train.
15:05He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:10He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:12He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:19He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:20He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:23He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:24He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:25He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:26He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:30He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:35Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:10Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:48Of course, I asked for second opinions. I asked for third opinions.
16:53I implored them to let me carry on.
16:56But I'm afraid the doctors were of one voice, one mind.
17:01The time has come to put my health above the country.
17:06And to offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No. But I...
17:33I think you thought it.
17:39I...
17:44I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed.
17:50And I was sorry to see you lie to the house when you told them that you had no prior
17:55knowledge of the Israelis' intentions.
17:59We both know that to be untrue.
18:02But, wrong though it was, I did have sympathy for you.
18:10To have waited in the wings for so long, and to have supported a great man like Winston so...
18:18so patiently, so patiently, so loyally, and then to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him...
18:29To do nothing is often the best course of action.
18:35But I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be.
18:42History was not made by those who did nothing.
18:49So I suppose it's only natural that...
18:51Ambitious men.
18:53Ambitious men.
18:54Driven men.
18:55Want to go down in history.
18:59Or make history by going down.
19:29I do think the time has now come where we have no option but to tell Her Majesty about the
19:34Parker Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is, or isn't in the matter,
19:42that newspapers will be newspapers, and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state of the royal marriage.
19:48Hmm.
19:52I sense trepidation, Michael.
19:55If you'd rather, I can always handle it myself.
19:58No, I'll take care of this.
20:00Try to find a moment on the train to mention Her Majesty.
20:04Good luck, Michael.
20:13Sorry to disturb you, man.
20:14The telegram arrived from Salisbury.
20:18The recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr. Macbetham.
20:23Of course.
20:30Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:32Ah, it's just to say...
20:35And we could, of course, discuss this on our return to the palace if Her Majesty prefers.
20:41No.
20:41Do sit down, Michael.
20:48But it seems that...
20:51Mrs. Parker, who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
21:00Um...
21:01She has decided to sue her husband...
21:05for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
21:13Um...
21:14And that while, of course, there is no suggestion whatsoever of any impropriety on the part of His Royal Highness
21:21the Duke of Edinburgh...
21:22We should perhaps be bracing ourselves for one or two irritating headlines.
21:27Why?
21:28Whatever for?
21:31What is it that she's alleging?
21:33Cruelty, unlawful desertion, and, uh...
21:39It's your adultery, madam.
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary, a close friend, and
21:50there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club, bragging about exploits.
22:05On the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:15I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:14I gather soundings have been taken, and that you have been chosen by your colleagues as the man most able
23:20to unite the government and lead this country, following St. Anthony's resignation.
23:24Yes, ma'am.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Although I fear you have inherited something of a poisoned chalice.
23:35It's true.
23:37The storm is now raging against us.
23:40With Eden's war, we've discarded the moral advantage or any goodwill we once held, not to mention the dire economic
23:50situation.
23:52It would have been quite ruinous.
23:54But it wasn't just Eden's war, was it?
23:59It was a war prosecuted by a government of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember that you were one of the loudest voices in support of the war in the
24:14beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part.
24:21I believe.
24:24In any mess.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:53Michael.
24:55Could you ask them to send around one of the cars?
24:57A perfect pause.
25:03Yes, ma'am.
25:04Yes, ma'am.
25:06Yes, ma'am.
25:09Yes, ma'am.
25:21Yes, ma'am.
25:27Right, Mr. Haley.
25:46Yeah, Mermit.
26:03What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I told Baron to be discreet.
26:18But somehow the letter got back to Eileen.
26:20And now she has ridden to the palace.
26:22Yes, you have notice of her intention to sue me, Footforce.
26:33Which means you've got that you-know-who.
26:38Yes.
26:40Well, I think we have to assume so.
27:03Good morning.
27:33I remember how we used to do this
27:34in my shop.
27:34Malta go grocery shopping together feels like a long time ago the reason I came
27:50here today is because I heard with great sadness their difficulties in your
28:02marriage and I would like to know if there's anything that I or anyone else
28:06can do to help my marriage to Mike is beyond help I see our separation has
28:13been inevitable for some time I had intended to divorce Mike years ago but
28:18because of the attention surrounding group captain Townsend and princess
28:22Margaret I decided to hold back but that was then this is now what's changed
28:35nothing has changed that's the problem just got worse and while some women may
28:42elect to put up with this sort of humiliation I simply have too much
28:46respect for myself and my children to bear it I'm afraid I don't know what
28:53you're talking about
29:09I'm read this
29:36don't bury it ma'am sweep it away it's there black and white
29:54might I ask you a favor
29:58would you hold off your announcement just while we work out what to do in in light
30:02of this I've had enough of favors to you people my entire adult life has been favors
30:09to you you people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage to
30:15families and marriages in your service I've instructed a solicitor that's my
30:20decision
30:30gentlemen I would like to make a brief statement on behalf of my client mrs. Eileen Parker
30:39having endured an unhappy marriage for some years now I have come to the sad conclusion that a formal
30:46separation is the best option for us both my husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the
30:54responsibilities of parenthood or marriage and divorce remains the only solution thank you
31:08the best option for us both my friend and wife's a friend read all about it read all about it
31:15I'm
31:15and I got my brother me and I got my brother on the flip side and I got it right
31:32but I was like I don't think I have to let it get you
31:32better be a little bit better
31:33I want to remember that for me I got my brother's little girl
31:33let me know the other thing I've had to answer
31:33I want to ask you guys if you want to see you guys
31:33I want to know what that's all I want to see you guys
31:33I want him to know what new
31:44I don't know.
32:21I don't know.
32:25Telegram for my lawyer in London.
32:27His view is, yes, the newspaper coverage is bad,
32:30but it's not disastrous,
32:32and he feels confident in law day down in 48 hours.
32:36He thinks we can write it out.
32:39You and I both know that's wishful thinking.
32:43I've had my own telegram from London.
32:52I...
32:54I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:08I'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:28I hereby offer my resignation.
33:35As principal private secretary to the duke of Edinburgh,
33:37active immediately.
33:40Accepted.
33:45You've worked for me for long enough.
33:46You know the rules.
33:48We are how it works.
33:51There is no room for mistakes.
33:54There is no room for scandal.
33:56There is no room for humanity.
34:01I think you should probably leave us in Gibraltar.
34:05Might I suggest a policy of no comment on all counts,
34:09and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:40Bye-bye.
34:40Bye-bye.
34:42Motherfucker!
34:43I didn't fire you, sir.
35:00Hedge up.
35:02Hedge up.
35:06Hedge up.
35:09Following the resignation of Lieutenant Commander Parker,
35:12the British press, have fallen into line
35:15and been overwhelmingly supportive.
35:17But?
35:18I'm afraid the foreign newspapers have not been so kind.
35:24Yesterday, a story broke in the Baltimore Sun.
35:28Where? Baltimore, Mummy.
35:30Claiming that the capital was awash with rumour
35:33that the Duke of Edinburgh was romantically involved
35:35with an unnamed woman whom he met on a regular basis
35:38in the West End apartment of a society photographer,
35:41Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho,
35:48of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:51Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:55The British press has caught on,
35:57with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59not since the first rumours of a romance
36:02between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson
36:06have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:12Go on.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial on its front page reminds its readers
36:18that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the world
36:21because it is a family.
36:24Time magazine has a headline,
36:26Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:28It goes on to say,
36:29not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace
36:33have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily
36:36towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:01The Devil's Advocate might argue,
37:03and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:06that the Duke's early return,
37:09obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers
37:15and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:23And we don't want that.
37:26No.
37:33So what, then?
37:44What?
37:49Yes.
37:52The Admiral will like a woe, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56It's fine, you can come.
37:58As a matter of fact, he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:17Okay, here we go.
38:24No, no.
38:26No, sorry.
38:27No, no.
38:27No, sir.
38:31No, sir.
38:32No, no.
38:33No, no.
38:33We have to wait.
38:41Admiral, could you come in? Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch regarding your reunion photo call with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon a day ahead of schedule.
39:02As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions.
39:06Artimeter at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:46Thank you, sir.
40:06Hi.
40:11Not that one. One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.

51:45The Duke of Edinburgh
51:57O famous son of England, this is he,
52:00Great by land, great by sea,
52:04Thine island loves thee well,
52:07Thou greatest sailor since our world began.
52:11Quite marvellous, sir. Thank you.
52:38Michael, do you have a moment?
52:42Cosme?
52:43No.
52:53Thanks, guys.
53:01I don't know.
53:27Sorry it's a bit gloomy.
53:29A bit?
53:31Don't live much.
53:32Could've run the house without Eileen.
53:34You could've at least put the fire on.
53:36Oi.
53:37I've provided whiskey.
53:39Alright, I've burnt some sausages.
53:41Who do you think you are, royalty?
53:46Here you are.
53:58To our wives and sweethearts, may they never meet.
54:04What will you do now?
54:06Go back to the Navy?
54:08Oh.
54:09Going back home.
54:11The Navy is home.
54:13I'm either home.
54:14Australia.
54:16Oh.
54:18Can I come?
54:21I thought everything was all sorted in your world.
54:24As sorted as it can be.
54:25You sell yourself.
54:37She wants more children.
54:40Ouch.
54:41I told her the last thing the world needs is more raw mouths to feed, she said.
54:46You should think of it as a second act.
54:48Of what?
54:49A Greek tragedy?
54:50Of her life as a mother.
54:54That makes sense from her perspective.
54:58Charles isn't a child to her, is he?
55:00He's also the crown.
55:02A living embodiment of who will replace her.
55:06Supersede her.
55:09Loving a child who through no fault of his own represents your own death can't be easy.
55:13No.
55:15Because she is a little cold with him.
55:20She tries her best.
55:22Might be nice to have a couple of kids that are just kids.
55:25Not mortal threats.
55:28Who she can actually love.
55:35What's the airport driver?
55:42What would I do without you?
55:44I'm always at the end of a telephone.
55:46What's it then?
55:48End of an era.
55:55Thank you for that era.
55:56No.
55:59No.
56:00No, Mike.
56:05So.
56:07Philip.
56:10So.
56:28A practical answer for a minute.
56:28Go.
56:28Yes.
56:30He would file a child.
56:31But I will not be able to find, no.
56:31I will not be able to find Waiter.
56:31I'm just looking for you again.
56:31Yes.
56:31Yes.
56:31Yes.
56:31Yes.
56:31Yes.
56:39Please unmute yourself.
