00:19Friends, friends, we meet here today, not as Ghanaians,
00:30Guineans, Moroccans, Aegeans, Senegalese, or Malians, but as Africans, tired of being disrespected
00:42and abused by the corrupt and imperial powers of the past, the time has come to forge new
00:51alliances, those who understand the strategic importance of Africa and are willing to treat
00:59us as equals, not as subordinates, and not as slaves.
01:07This is our time.
01:11We must choose our own destiny, a socialist Africa for Africans.
01:44We've definitely seen better days, ma'am.
01:46We'll send in the foresters to the end of the season and fill it back.
01:49Yes.
01:50The old oak, she's still hanging on, just about.
01:53Oh, but she looks so old, ancient.
01:56Well, she will have to be felled in New Cross.
01:58What is she?
01:59Looks like it's set in for the day.
02:00Do you remember my grandson Daniel, ma'am?
02:03Yes, of course.
02:05Oh, is that his christening?
02:06That's right.
02:08We ought to head back, ma'am.
02:10Get rid of his brain.
02:11Right.
02:12Or go get a job lead.
02:14Change his package.
02:15What again?
02:18Can I help, ma'am?
02:19Oh.
02:24Oh.
02:25Oh.
02:26Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:27Oh.
02:28Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh.
02:36Oh.
02:37Oh.
02:49At the Elysee Palace, the ceremonial guard, awaited Mr Kennedy's arrival.
02:53It has pleased the French that he came to Paris before going to Vienna to meet Mr Khrushchev.
02:58When is it, do you think, if one's committed to a life of honesty, that one must start calling oneself
03:04middle-aged?
03:06Oh, stop it. You're still a young girl.
03:10I caught sight of myself in a mirror today.
03:12I looked like an old woman.
03:14You haven't even finished having children yet.
03:18True.
03:19So, finish your family.
03:21Let the first one go to school.
03:23And then let's talk about being middle-aged.
03:25Well, that won't be middle-aged. That'll be ancient.
03:30Oh, no, no.
03:32Not again.
03:37Mummy, be careful.
03:38No, stop it. It's rented.
03:44No.
03:46Oh, no, yes, you've got it.
03:48Well done.
03:49This macaroni and cheese is heavenly.
03:54So, weekend's been heavenly.
03:57Sadly, I have to leave in the morning.
03:59Where's the floor?
04:02They're coming to dinner.
04:03In Kennedy's?
04:04After Vienna with Khrushchev, then Paris, they're coming to London.
04:08So, we're having an informal dinner at Buckingham Palace.
04:12She's so young.
04:13I always thought she was the same age as you.
04:15She is.
04:19Oh, no.
04:25Oh, no, no, look.
04:26There she is.
04:26She was talking about the charm and elegance of Mr. Kennedy's wife, Jackie.
04:30Jackie, in fact, often stole the picture.
04:34It's beautiful.
04:35It's beautiful.
04:36It's beautiful.
04:36It's charming.
04:38It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:39It's beautiful.
04:40It's beautiful.
04:40She is pretty, isn't she?
04:42Yes.
04:45Yes.
13:33Your Majesty.
13:35No curtsy.
13:36No curtsy.
13:37Mrs. Kennedy.
13:39Your Grace.
13:41Your Royal Highness.
13:43Mrs. Kennedy.
13:45Good evening, Your Royal Majesty.
13:48Oh, dear.
13:50Oh, for goodness sake.
13:51Mr. President.
13:54Mr. President.
13:56Your Grace. Did they not get the protocol sheet?
13:59Yes.
13:59He obviously didn't read it.
14:02Yes, well.
14:03Shall we?
14:05Ah, Jackie.
14:08Where do you think she's going?
14:10Lord knows.
14:14Mrs. Kennedy.
14:16I feel like that went wrong in about 10,000 different ways.
14:20I've seen worse.
14:22But I'm not sure when.
14:25Just drink.
14:27Please.
14:29Sorry, sir.
14:30Bloody shambles.
14:44My heart goes out to him.
14:47Word is the behind closed doors over here.
14:49Khrushchev humiliated.
14:51Ran ring through.
14:53Treated him like a little boar.
14:54No wonder the Cold War continues.
14:56It's two nations.
14:57To my Khrushchev.
15:02came at this.
15:07She's gone.
15:09I love both.
15:11Yeah.
15:12I love both.
15:12You have to be loved.
15:13Let's go.
15:17Come back.
15:19We're just...
15:23You're going to say it.
15:30You're right.
15:31You're gonna say it.
15:32Oh, terrific. She's divine.
15:35Is she?
15:37I'm frightfully clever.
15:39Yes.
15:41What are you doing?
15:42She wants a tour of the place.
15:44Does she? Well, then I'll do it.
15:46No, no, it's all right. She asks me.
15:47No, it's my house, so I'll do it.
15:56Mrs. Kennedy, you're mine.
15:59You okay there?
16:00I hope my wife isn't causing too much trouble.
16:06Do you know you're the luckiest man on earth?
16:12Yes.
16:17Although people keep telling me the same thing.
16:25Where are they going?
16:27I have absolutely no idea.
16:32Now, this is the throne room.
16:34In the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, various balls and concerts were held here.
16:40But now it's principally used for receptions and vestiges and taking over all wedding photographs.
16:51Shall we?
16:53Now, this is the picture gallery.
16:56This is my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, George III, and he bought Buckingham House in 1761 for his
17:04wife, Queen Charlotte.
17:07Who's this?
17:09Who's this?
17:09Who's this?
17:09Ah, that's one of the pits.
17:11The younger.
17:13Known for something that's always rather endeared me to him.
17:16Crippling shyness.
17:19Apparently, he could barely look people in the eye.
17:23And yet he became our prime minister.
17:26I quite understand.
17:29I'm also a shy person by nature.
17:39This leads to our private apartments.
17:44It's a shortcut.
17:50This is about as private as it gets in this place.
17:54It's where one feels most comfortable.
17:56Oh, I quite understand.
17:59You have to have somewhere to escape to.
18:03I've often wondered how someone who hates attention as much as I do ended up in a goldfish bowl like
18:09the White House.
18:12But I realize there's actually a perverse logic to a cripplingly shy person ending up in this position.
18:18Well, you have to explain that one to me.
18:20Well, a shy person will seek out someone strong to protect them.
18:25Yes, I'm with you so far.
18:27And a strong character is often one who enjoys public life, thrives on it.
18:34And then before you know it, the very person you have turned to in order to protect you is the
18:40very reason you are exposed.
18:44Jack's idea of heaven is a crowd.
18:47Campaigning, fundraising, speech making.
18:50That's when he comes alive.
18:52He'd far sooner speak to 10,000 people under the glare of spotlights than be alone with me.
19:07And what's your idea of heaven?
19:11I like my own company.
19:13And to be alone in the countryside.
19:16And where do you go?
19:18A farm.
19:19Glenora, about an hour from Washington.
19:21Maryland.
19:23Virginia.
19:24Oh, yes.
19:28Ah.
19:31Hello, Stuart.
19:32Yes, ma'am.
19:33They're eating.
19:34Yes, ma'am.
19:35Oh, goodness.
19:38Hello, puppy.
19:40What's your name?
19:41Well, that's sugar.
19:43Ah.
19:44And these are our puppies.
19:45Come here.
19:46Come here.
19:47Whiskey and sherry.
19:49Hello.
19:50Oh.
19:51Oh, you're very clever to be cautious.
19:54Oh, it's really one of the great paradoxes of being in a position where I have to talk
19:59to a great many people, but deep down, I'm happiest with animals.
20:04That makes two of us.
20:08I always think my sister would have made, if not the better, the more natural first lady.
20:14Oh, mine too.
20:16A born queen.
20:18And the greatest of British queens, in her own mind, anyway.
20:29No, I liked her very much.
20:32And I've been all set to loathe her.
20:34But in the end, I was utterly charmed.
20:38It's a timely reminder.
20:39Of what?
20:40Oh.
20:41That people are so rarely what they seem.
20:43Well, then I don't know what Patrick was talking about.
20:45Patrick?
20:46Plunkett.
20:47I saw him last night at Tartuffe.
20:48No, is that a restaurant?
20:49It's a play, dear.
20:51A very famous French play.
20:53Oh, I knew that.
20:54Did you?
20:54Yes, it's a classic tragedy.
20:56Farce.
20:57By Passant.
20:58Moliere.
20:59Oh.
20:59Pierre Sereau was a painter.
21:04When was the last time you even went to the theatre?
21:06Or a gallery?
21:08Even read a book?
21:10Oh, you're a savage.
21:11Oh, thank you.
21:13What about Patrick?
21:15Well, Patrick had dinner at the Radsevilles last week.
21:19Well, new best friend, Mrs. Kennedy, was also a guest.
21:23He called me this morning to tell me some of the things you'd overheard her say at dinner.
21:28Oh, what did she say?
21:29I'd have to ask Patrick.
21:32I must say, it did seem a little unkind.
21:35I know how reported speech has twisted in the retailing.
21:39I'm quite sure it was nothing.
21:42Don't worry.
21:45Don't worry.
21:50Well, you...
21:52And you...
21:52General Solid.
21:53Retake.
22:03Oh
22:13Patrick your majesty, it's so kind of you to come
22:20It's really not far are you still just around the corner at Wellington barracks?
22:24Are you still traveling up and down the country recruiting for all the regiments from all the top schools? That's
22:29me
22:33I gather
22:35You saw the first lady
22:38I did it recently
22:39Who?
22:41Mrs. Kennedy
22:43Margaret mentioned it. Did she? Yes
22:48So how was that
22:51Pleasant enough uneventful
22:54You know how it is at the Ranservilles? No, I don't
22:57Well the food's always good. Yes, but I wasn't asking about the food
23:04I'd like to know what was said
23:09Patrick we grew up together, and we've always had a very frank and a very open relationship
23:15Yes, ma'am
23:15Yes, so let's not break the habit of a lifetime
23:22All right
23:26What I ever heard the first lady say
23:30And I should mention I was several places along the table. It's possible that I misheard
23:38That she found Buckingham Palace second-rate dilapidated and sad
23:43Like a neglected provincial hotel
23:47And that one came away with a sense of a tired institution
23:53Without a place in the modern world
24:00I see
24:09And did she have anything to say about me?
24:13Patrick
24:14Patrick
24:14I was at the other end of the table
24:16I...
24:23But the words I think I ever heard were
24:29That in our head of state we had
24:32A middle-aged woman
24:34So incurious
24:38Unintelligent
24:40And unremarkable
24:44That Britain's new reduced place in the world was not a surprise, but an inevitability
25:05Well...
25:09We must have her again soon
25:31We must have her again soon
25:52Bad News I'm afraid
25:54Worse than bad
25:55Regarding Nkrumah's Volta Dab project
25:58President Kennedy is pulled out
26:02why American involvement was conditional upon Ghana having severed all ties with the Russians
26:07turns out Nkrumah was in Moscow yesterday to receive the order of Lenin highest military
26:13honor from Khrushchev himself and what's the next step I wish I knew wish I had an
26:20ace up my sleeve the way President Kennedy had his first lady in Paris
26:39why don't you send me
26:46where to Ghana on what would be seen as a personal trip absolutely not that would be out of question
26:53why a visit from the crown to Ghana would be seen as a huge compliment too great a compliment
26:58it would be singling out Ghana as a preferred nation in doing so we risk alienating Nigeria
27:04Sierra Leone but surely by singling out Ghana that might be just the thing to keep Nkrumah away from
27:08the Russians and in the Commonwealth perhaps but as Queen you cannot be seen to be engaging in the
27:13dirty business of politics yes but as head of the Commonwealth can I not be permitted just once
27:17to defend it your matters it would be unsafe it would be provocative it would be in my view a
27:29profound misjudgment to get on that play
27:47the trip is impossible to justify it from any angle it is unethical unconstitutional and
27:54indefensible that the Queen should be going at all what would you have me do nothing I certainly
28:01wouldn't have you get into a chess match with a wily operator like Nkrumah you're just being cynical
28:06and you're being naive when you last met him Nkrumah was just Nkrumah now he's the lion of Africa
28:14playing the Soviets off against the Americans and you're a lamb the lion will have for lunch
28:20the best thing you can do is stay at home and be what you're supposed to be
28:24a puppet a constitutional monarch a puppet if you like well that's the whole point I don't like
28:49sir she's here
29:14so
29:15so
29:16so
29:16so
29:16so
30:19Your Majesty, Ghana welcomes you, humbly.
30:25Yes.
30:27We're very happy to be here.
30:29Of course.
30:32Back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
30:37Ready.
30:47Well, you've given him the photo he wanted.
30:51That'll be on the front page of every African newspaper making every other African leader choke with genocide.
30:56Yes, but it always does the trick.
31:08Are Dean here?
31:11Put him through.
31:12I have a secure line to Ghana.
31:14Yes, sir.
31:16But I thought he had agreed to suspend all contact with the Soviets.
31:20Apparently not.
31:21Ready, sir.
31:22Gentlemen, thank you.
31:33Out.
31:36Hello.
31:40Your Majesty.
31:41Prime Minister.
31:43I've just received confirmation that a team of international engineers has arrived in Ghana to begin work on Nkrumah's dam.
31:49Well, I see that's good news, isn't it?
31:54We encourage the Americans to go back to Nkrumah.
31:56Soviet engineers, ma'am.
31:59It appears Nkrumah's been playing us all off against one another.
32:02What?
32:03Leading us a merry dance.
32:04I'm afraid you've been used, ma'am.
32:07Just as we'd feel.
32:16Elizabeth, what's happened?
32:20In, sir.
32:21Martin.
32:23Ah, ah, ah.
32:24I wouldn't if I were you.
32:27Sir?
32:28She's asked to be alone.
32:32She says she's thinking.
32:47She says she's thinking.
32:53She's thinking.
32:58She's thinking.
32:59Yeah, she's thinking.
33:05She's thinking.
33:05Oh, I don't know.
33:06He's thinking.
33:10I don't know.
33:10I don't know.
33:11You're thinking.
33:12I'm thinking.
33:17Ah.
33:20What's going on?
33:23What are you doing?
33:26Elizabeth?
33:37Yes, this is Colonel Charteris.
33:39We have Martin Charteris on the telephone.
33:41The situation is developing in Ghana.
33:44Hello?
33:48We're just going to buy out of them.
33:57Hey!
34:05What are you doing?
34:06It is good.
34:17Do you think we both understand the significance of this moment?
34:22Yes.
34:24But do we understand the terms?
34:30They appear to be in some kind of negotiation.
34:33What kind of negotiation?
34:34Get her out of there!
34:37Your Majesty.
34:43Oh, Lord.
34:45What's going on?
34:51He's taken her hand.
35:12They're dancing.
35:16Our Queen is dancing, sir.
35:20With an African.
35:21What?
35:23Was this agreed?
35:24Was this agreed?
35:25This was definitely not agreed.
35:27What are they doing?
35:28What are they doing?
35:31Hard to say.
35:32I believe it's the Foxtrot.
35:35The Foxtrot, sir.
35:37What?
35:51This is good.
36:22Ladies and gentlemen, the man I am proud to call the 35th President of the United States, but even more
36:29proud to call my brother, John F. Kennedy.
36:39Thank you, Bobby.
37:05Thank you, Bobby.
38:35Fantastic.
40:35And how are you?
40:36They're ready for you.
40:37Yeah.
40:39Relax.
40:40It's not like you're running to her in Glenora.
40:43Not Glenora, no.
40:45But I am due back in London on my way back from India and Pakistan.
40:49Then my advice would be don't go to Buckingham Palace.
40:55Sorry, the provincial hotel.
40:58It's not so easy.
40:59Her sister set up a lunch last time we were in town.
41:02Oh, that should be fun.
41:06Cat fight.
41:07I look forward to a full report.
41:11Come on, Bobby.
41:28I'm pleased to say that we anticipate clean and calm conditions for the rest of our flight to London.
41:35Your Majesty, some more international reactions to the Garner trip.
41:41Positive or negative?
41:44Overwhelmingly positive, madam.
41:48Well, just a quick look, then.
41:56So, the New York Times calls it shrewd strategic manoeuvring, an example of impeccable political brinkmanship.
42:06The Australian papers are very impressed with your commitment to the Commonwealth.
42:10And the Illustrated London News call it an outstanding personal success.
42:16Voting doesn't suit you.
42:20The Garnetian Press are calling you a socialist.
42:25Oh, goodness.
42:28One more thing.
42:30First Lady, Mrs. Kennedy.
42:35What about her?
42:37Um, her office has written requesting private audience with your majesty prior to lunch on the 28th of March.
42:44What it were for?
42:46They didn't say.
42:48Where's the lunch?
42:49Parkingham Palace, ma'am.
42:55Well, let's make the audience Windsor Castle.
43:01Sometimes only a fortress will do.
43:05Windsor Castle.
43:11We have a great house.
43:26I'm going to meet you.
43:28I'm going to meet you.
43:29I'm going to meet you.
43:33vas.
43:34We have a great house.
43:36You are a great father.
43:43Oh
44:12This way, Mrs. Kennedy.
44:26Mrs. Kennedy, this way, please.
44:45Mrs. Kennedy, Your Majesty.
44:48Your Majesty.
44:51Thank you for seeing me.
44:55Mrs. Kennedy.
44:58Do sit down.
45:11Shall we have tea?
45:32I asked to speak to you in private ahead of our lunch on Friday.
45:36Because I owe you an apology.
45:39Whatever for?
45:40I think we both know the answer to that question.
45:57I had a social occasion.
45:59Shortly after our last visit, I made some comments.
46:04Some foolish comments, which I believe got back to you.
46:09There really is no need for this.
46:13Reports that you'd said certain things did get back to me.
46:19And I'll confess to being momentarily surprised,
46:22since they in no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit of our meeting.
46:27But in this job, I've learned, as I'm sure you have too,
46:31not to take things too seriously.
46:33People say things for all sorts of reasons, which get misquoted or misunderstood.
46:38And before you know it, those words have turned into something quite different.
46:42And everyone's upset or up in arms.
46:46I'm quite sure that you meant no harm, nor disrespect.
46:49After all, why would you?
46:52We barely know one another.
46:54Still, it was inexcusable, so I can't offer an excuse.
46:58But if you'll allow me, I'd like to offer an explanation.
47:05Yes, of course.
47:07Last time we were in London, Jack and I probably seemed,
47:11at least from the outside, to be riding on a high.
47:14Yes, I should say so.
47:16The most celebrated, most famous couple in the world.
47:19Well, the truth is that I was still suffering from postnatal problems
47:24after the birth of our son, and Jack had his own health issues.
47:28To say we were strained would be an understatement.
47:33So, when we got to Paris,
47:36I don't mind telling you I took some pleasure in shining there.
47:41And then, at the Elysee Palace...
47:44I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.
47:51I enjoyed it.
47:53But Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged.
47:56Behind closed doors.
47:59I can imagine.
48:03There are other factors, too.
48:07Our doctor.
48:10Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips.
48:17Vitamins.
48:21But other substances, too.
48:26To help pep us up, or calm us down.
48:36On the occasion of that dinner, he had given me something.
48:39A little booster.
48:44I told him I needed cheering up.
48:47But I guess it loosened my tongue.
48:51And then I heard some of these terrible things cut back to you.
48:58I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me.
49:02The idea that I might have upset someone I admire so much.
49:08That's very kind of you to say.
49:10It's true.
49:12The way you do your job.
49:15The way you cope with the pressure.
49:19The personal sacrifices you've made.
49:21Not to mention your composure and dignity.
49:27As a woman, it's so inspiring.
49:31And what you just did in Ghana.
49:34It was just extraordinary.
49:41What I should have said...
49:43...was that I didn't do very much in Ghana.
49:46I got on a plane.
49:48And I went.
49:50The only reason I went was because I felt utterly useless in comparison to you.
49:56And I was trying to compete.
49:59And if anything...
50:00I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
50:06But I didn't.
50:09I just sat there.
50:12And I let her say her piece.
50:14And savoured your victory.
50:16Yes.
50:18And what do you want from me now?
50:21Ticking off.
50:22Well, don't you think I'm deserving of one?
50:24No.
50:26But she was so broken.
50:28And fragile.
50:30Lost.
50:33You did exactly the right thing.
50:37She insulted you.
50:39All of us.
50:40And you're not a saint.
50:41No.
50:42We know that already.
50:46There's ice in those veins when there needs to be.
50:49Yes.
50:52Well, if we cheers to that.
51:05But we haven't caught it now.
51:11Yes.
51:16Yes.
51:16Keep it moving time. Keep going up the hill.
51:31Man.
51:32What is it?
51:33You're needed back to the house.
51:35Right.
51:41What's going on?
51:43I don't know, lad.
51:45Somebody help.
51:58There was absolute pandemonium around the scene.
52:01People screamed and lay down on the ground as shots were heard.
52:05Reporters saw President Kennedy lying flat on his face on the seat of his car.
52:10Men and women were screaming.
52:12He saw blood on the President's head.
52:14This is all we have here in Washington at this moment.
52:18And for the moment, I return you to Radio Newsreel in London.
52:21Hello, London.
52:22I just heard from Dallas that the President is still alive, but in critical condition.
52:28He was apparently shot in the head, and the Governor of Texas, Governor Connolly, was shot in the chest.
52:35Mrs. Kennedy was weeping, trying to hold up her husband's head when the reporters reached the car as it dashed
52:42toward the hospital.
52:44Vice President Lyndon Johnson was in the car behind the President.
52:48Blood transfusions are being given to President Kennedy.
52:51However, one of the two priests called into the room has administered the last sacrament of the church to President
52:59Kennedy.
53:01Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Connolly are stunned, but they are at the bedside of their husband.
53:17He's dead.
53:21He's dead.
54:01Didn't you say how unhappy she was?
54:03In the marriage.
54:07Mrs. Kennedy accompanied the fallen President.
54:11Her clothes still...
54:11That's the thing about unhappiness.
54:15All it takes is for something worse to come along.
54:19And you realize it was actually happiness after all.
54:23...conveighed into the hospital in plain sight of thousands of waiting mourners.
54:29As disbelieving and shaking tonight as our entire...
54:32She's still wearing the same clothes.
54:36Couldn't it have found her something else?
54:39It was covered in our husband's blood.
54:43Brothers and loved ones joined the grieving Mrs. Kennedy for a...
54:47No, I think it's deliberate.
54:48Before the body was moved to the rotunda of the Capitol.
54:52The last day in the life of the first Capitol, President of the United States.
54:58Lyndon Johnson, sworn in on Air Force One less than 100 minutes after the official death of President Kennedy.
55:16It's a massive tragedy.
55:19Of the United States of America.
55:21Michael.
55:23I'd like everyone in the royal household to observe a full week of court mourning.
55:30And I would like the bell rung at Westminster Abbey.
55:36Ma'am, custom dictates that the bell only be rung...
55:41When a member of the royal family dies. I know.
55:46But I would like it to be rung every minute.
55:51For an hour, from 11 o'clock until midday.
56:00Yes, ma'am.
56:01Your President Johnson, in his prayer for God's help,
56:07may we all find some right and hope in the darkness of the days that lie ahead.
56:31Let's do it.
56:32I'm sorry.
56:49OK, all day.
56:51Come on.
56:51I don't know.
57:30I don't know.
57:57I don't know.
58:26I don't know.
58:51I don't know.
