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.
02:23MUSIC PLAYS
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.
06:28I should hear you...
06:29I should hear you.
06:48Good morning.
06:53Tommy?
06:56Your Majesty.
06:57I thought you were supposed to be in happy retirement.
07:00I am, ma'am.
07:01Well, then what on earth are you doing here?
07:03Oh, dear. Either you miss the place more than you could bear, which would be...
07:07Tragic.
07:08Yes.
07:09Or there's a serious problem, and you've been called in to help.
07:12Just a routine matter with Colonel Nadine.
07:15It's hardly routine if you sent one of the royal cars.
07:19Well, in actual fact, that's my car.
07:21We gave you a car?
07:23You did, ma'am. As part of the farewell package.
07:26Well, not the driver too, surely.
07:27The driver too?
07:30Was that me?
07:31I believe so.
07:33Well, you've always held a very special place in all of our hearts, Tommy.
07:37Anyway, I must go.
07:39Windsor, ma'am?
07:40No, Sandrium.
07:42Michael's rearranged a few things to me a couple of days off.
07:45Quite right.
07:57You did well to bring this to me, Michael.
08:01I've served three generations of the royal family, four monarchs, and a good many things
08:09to protect them, mostly from themselves.
08:12But this is the first time Iceland ever to save someone else's marriage in order to safeguard the crown.
08:21Not that we give a fig about Parkers or their happiness, you understand?
08:25Not a fig, Tommy.
08:48Not a fig, Tommy.
08:56Not a fig.
08:57Not a fig.
08:59I've served four marriages in order to protect him.
09:06Not a fig.
09:08Not a fig.
09:14Not a fig.
09:15Not a fig!
09:16Not a fig.
09:18Not a fig.
09:20Well, you've never had a fig.
09:23I love being married to a man with this.
09:29She goes on, but actually, no, I'm not going to repeat that.
09:39I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome
09:43away to his royal hands of the day.
10:12Good morning.
10:13Good morning.
10:16First of all, I must thank you
10:19for the way in which you've all carried on without.
10:24And for the manner in which Rab has very competently stood in for me
10:29in 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
10:53in the country in chaos.
10:54There is no petrol in the pumps.
10:57There are no tins on the shelves.
10:59Our allies are aligned against us.
11:01Our 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.
11:19You.
11:20You.
11:22You.
11:22Liar.
11:27Liar.
11:29You wanted it every bit as much as I did.
11:37Torn off NASA's 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.
11:50It's the end of the road.
11:51The road which you willingly led me down!
12:01And would you abandon me?
12:05Here.
12:10Hm?
12:11Yes.
12:22All of you.
12:27Come now, Anthony.
12:30You know as well as I.
12:35There is no justice in politics.
12:40A partner!
12:43A partner!
12:44A partner!
12:47A partner!
12:49A partner!
12:55Marker!
12:56Marker!
12:58Marker!
12:59Captain Lasals.
13:02Mrs. Parker.
13:04What brings you here?
13:08Oh, a retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London.
13:13What are you reading, may I ask? Tell me that it's romantic poetry?
13:17Yeah, military history. The campaigns of Napoleon.
13:23Your son? Yes.
13:25Lieutenant Commander Parker must be very proud.
13:27He might be, if he knew what the children dug like.
13:31He's away again, on tour.
13:33You have my sympathy.
13:35I know from my own wife how difficult that can be,
13:38being left alone with the children for days,
13:41sometimes weeks on end.
13:43Well, I'm sure that strong marriages find a way through it.
13:47I'm afraid it's a broken arsenal.
13:50I am sad to hear that.
13:53Might I ask you to hold off on any instruction
13:56or 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.
14:17That'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 they're round-the-clock, Lackey, even in retirement.
14:36Oh-ho-ho-ho.
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. He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:37Enough! Enough! Enough!
15:56Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:26Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:44Enough! 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.
17:08And to...
17:13To offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry if I...
17:24disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No.
17:30But I...
17:33I think you thought it.
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 loyally, 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 ambitious men, driven men, want to go down in history.
19:00Or 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
19:34Park of Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is,
19:40or isn't in the matter, that newspapers will be newspapers,
19:44and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state of the royal marriage.
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, ma'am.
20:15The telegram arrived from Mount Salisbury,
20:17and the recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr Macbetham.
20:23Of course.
20:31Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:33It's just to say,
20:35and we could, of course, discuss this on our return to the palace if Her Majesty prefers.
20:41No, do sit down, Michael.
20:48But it seems that
20:51Mrs Parker,
20:53who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
21:00She has decided to sue her husband for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
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,
21:21we 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...
21:38Is it adultery, madam?
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary,
21:49a close friend, and there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club,
22:01bragging about exploits.
22:05On the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:16I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
22:42Thank you, Michael.
22:43Thank you, Michael.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:13I gather soundings have been taken,
23:16and that you have been chosen by your colleagues
23:19as the man most able to unite the government
23:21and 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
23:44or any goodwill we once held,
23:48not to mention the dire economic situation.
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
24:02of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember
24:10that you were one of the loudest voices
24:12in support of the war in the beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part, I believe.
24:24In any mess.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:53Michael.
24:55Could you ask them to send round one of the cars?
24:58We'll see you later.
25:01We'll see you later.
25:03Sorry, guys.
25:04I'll hear you later.
25:05I'll hear you later.
25:24I'm gonna go in, sir.
25:24I'll hear you later.
25:53Do you have a moment?
26:03What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I told Baron to be discreet.
26:17But somehow the letter got back to Eileen.
26:20And now she has written to the palace.
26:26You 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 don't remember how we used to do this...
27:34in Malta. Go grocery shopping together. Feels like a long time ago. The reason I came here today is
27:54because I heard with great sadness that there are difficulties in your marriage
28:02and I would like to know if there's anything that I or anyone else can do to help. My marriage
28:07to Mike is
28:08beyond help. I see. Our separation has been inevitable for some time. I had intended to
28:17divorce Mike years ago but because of the attention surrounding group Captain Townsend and
28:21Princess Margaret, I decided to hold back. Thank you. But that was then. This is now.
28:32What's changed? Nothing has changed. That's the problem. It just got worse. And while some women
28:42may elect to put up with this sort of humiliation, I simply have too much respect for myself and
28:47to my children to bear it. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
29:09Then read this.
29:36Don't bury it, ma'am.
29:40Or sweep it away.
29:42It's there. In 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 light of this?
30:03I've had enough of favors to you people.
30:07My entire adult life has been favors to you.
30:11You people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage to families and marriages in your service.
30:18I've instructed a solicitor. That's my decision.
30:28Gentlemen.
30:30I 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 separation
30:47is the best option for us both.
30:49My husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the responsibilities of parenthood or marriage, and divorce remains the only
31:01solution.
31:08Huge- render works across.
31:11Read on about it.
31:13Read on about it.
31:16Let's go.
31:45Let's go.
32:14Let's go.
32:21Sir.
32:25Telegram for my lawyer in London.
32:27His view is, yes, the newspaper coverage is bad, but it's not disastrous,
32:32and he feels confident in law day down in 48 hours.
32:36He thinks we can write it out.
32:38Well, you and I both know that's wishful thinking.
32:43I've had my own telegram from London.
32:51I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:08You'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:28I hereby offer my resignation.
33:34As principal private secretary to the duke of Edinburgh, active 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, and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:37Yes, of course.
34:44Goodbye, you sir.
35:09Following the resignation of Lieutenant Commander Parker,
35:12the British press, have fallen into line and 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?
35:28Baltimore, Mummy.
35:30The Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Edinburgh was romantically involved with an unnamed woman whom he met on a
35:38regular basis in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:50Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:54The British press has caught on, with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59not since the first rumours of a romance between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson have Americans
36:08gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial on its front page reminds its readers that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the
36:21world because it is a family.
36:23Time magazine has a headline, too much Thursday-ing.
36:28It goes on to say, not since Wallace Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace have the eyes of the
36:34world been turned so beadily towards 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, and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:07that the Duke's early return, obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:23And we don't want that.
37:26No.
37:33So what, then?
37:43What?
37:49Yes.
37:52The Admiral will like a woe, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56Tell him he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact, he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:26Thanks, sir.
38:27Thanks, sir.
38:39Admiral.
38:41Could you come in? Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch regarding your reunion photo call with her majesty of 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.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06...are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:18...
39:19...
39:21...
39:21...
39:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
39:52No, no, no, no.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deferredness.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat.
41:06I don't know.
41:12Don't go.
41:15Don't go.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:25I'm sorry.
41:28I'm sorry.
41:42I'm sorry.
41:48I'm sorry.
41:49I'm sorry.
41:55I'm sorry.
41:56Let's go.
41:57Let's go.
42:36Let's go.
43:04Let's go.
43:07Let's go.
43:09No, I see.
43:36Let's go.
43:54Let's go.
44:01Let's go.
44:04Let's go.
44:09Let's go.
44:11Let's go.
44:23Let's go.
44:35Let's go.
44:37Let's go.
44:40Let's go.
44:42Let's go.
45:07Let's go.
45:22Let's go.
45:25Let's go.
45:38Let's go.
45:40Let's go.
45:41Let's go.
45:47Let's go.
46:00Let's go.
46:06Let's go.
46:11Let's go.
46:12Let's go.
46:27Let's go.
46:30Ever.
46:44No.
46:56This restlessness of yours, it has to be a thing of the past.
47:03It's what I need.
47:05And it's what our family needs.
47:10The monarchy is too fragile. You keep telling me yourself.
47:13One more scandal, one more national embarrassment, and it would all be over.
47:25So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in, not out.
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking what it will take.
48:01All right.
48:05To make it work.
48:08To make it bearable.
48:11I'll need the respect and acknowledgement of the dreaded moustaches.
48:16Please stop calling them that.
48:17I'll stop calling them that when they don't all have one.
48:20An end to their snobbery and prejudice.
48:22No more being sniffed at for being a foreigner with a background.
48:25Nobody understands.
48:25Will you earn their respect with your behavior?
48:28No.
48:29No.
48:30I will earn their respect with the only thing those creatures understand.
48:34A gesture, a statement, something irrefutable that shuts them up and commands their respect.
48:39Right now, I am currently outranked by my eight-year-old son.
48:42Yes, of course.
48:43He's the heir to the throne.
48:54I am his father, Elizabeth.
48:56I am his father, Elizabeth.
49:05Your majesty the Queen has been pleased by letters patterned under the great seal of the realm,
49:12From bearing the date of the 22nd of February, 1957, to given to Grant, unto His Royal Highness,
49:22the Duke of Edinburgh, the style and titular dignity of a Prince of the United Kingdom
49:31of Great Britain and more than other.
49:36The Duke of Edinburgh shall henceforth be known as His Royal Highness, the Prince Philip,
49:45Duke of Edinburgh.
50:32The Duke of Edinburgh
52:04Thine island loves thee well,
52:07Thou greatest sailor since our world began.
52:11Quite marvellous, sir. Thank you.
52:14Now to the roll of muffled drums, to thee the greatest soldier comes, for this is he who give him
52:21welcome. This is he, England's greatest son. He that gained a hundred fights, nor ever lost an English gun.
52:34Quite magnificent, sir.
52:39Michael, do you have a moment?
52:42Cosmo?
52:43No.
52:46Get ready for that.
52:54I'm so glad.
52:56I'm so glad.
52:59I'm sorry it's a bit gloomy.
53:31Don't live much good around the house without Eileen.
53:34You could have at least put the fire on.
53:36Hey, I provided whiskey.
53:39All right, I've burnt some sausages.
53:41Who do you think you are, royalty?
53:46Here you are.
53:58To our wives and sweethearts.
54:00May they never meet.
54:04What will you do now?
54:06Go back to the Navy?
54:07No.
54:09I'm going back home.
54:11Navy is home.
54:13I'm either home.
54:14Australia.
54:16Oh.
54:18Can I come?
54:21I thought everything was all sorted in your well.
54:23As sorted as it can be, when you sell yourself.
54:37She wants more children.
54:40Ouch.
54:40I told her the last thing the world needs is more romance 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.
56:11The.
56:14The.
56:22The.
