00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.
00:54Princess Diana in a strapless lilac chiffon gown printed with gold pattern receiving the attention.
01:00But it's the Prince's night, His Royal Highness celebrating his 37th birthday at this special gala event.
01:08Oh, the cause of the year.
01:25One, two, three.
01:56CHOIR SINGS
02:19Back in a tick, couldn't powder my nose.
02:28Back in a tick, couldn't powder my nose.
02:55Back in a tick, couldn't powder my nose.
03:12She's been livin' in her good-town world.
03:16I bet she never had a black-street guy.
03:20I bet her I could never throw her away.
03:23And I'm gonna try and pull her up to the ground.
03:27She's been livin' in her good-town world.
03:31Back in a tick, couldn't powder my nose.
03:40And when she loves what she wants from her time.
03:47And when she waves up and fades from her time.
03:54And she'll see I'm not so tough.
03:58Just before you know me now.
04:02There's a love to her.
04:04You know I've seen her in her love temper.
04:08She's been livin' in her eye.
04:10She's been livin' in her eye.
04:51Happy birthday.
05:17What were you thinking?
05:20I was only trying to make you happy.
05:22That grotesque, mortifying display had nothing to do with me or my happiness.
05:28Eight minutes they were on their feet, cheering you.
05:32Tomorrow, the newspapers will be about nothing other than you.
05:35And people will see that it was about my feelings for you.
05:38No, if you had any feelings for me, if you had any understanding of me,
05:43if you had anything between your ears other than self-obsession,
05:46you'd know public displays like that horrify me.
05:48Everything I do seems to horrify you.
05:50Increasingly, yes.
05:52I never thought you'd manage this, but you're really succeeding now.
05:55Then what's that?
05:55I'm starting to properly load you.
05:57What's taken you so long?
05:58The rest of us have been there for some time.
06:19What are you doing?
06:20I'm going back to Gloucestershire.
06:23Of course.
06:24It's where she'll be waiting for you.
06:28I'm sure she'll know exactly how to make you happy.
06:42Charles and Diana seem to be getting on again.
06:45Hallelujah.
06:47Apparently she surprised him with a dance last night at the Opera House.
06:50Really?
06:51Full of high kicks and spins.
06:53Why did you never do that for me?
06:56Dance on your birthday?
06:58Yes.
06:59Like Salome.
07:01Because, if memory serves, you had your own ballerinas for that.
07:06Honestly.
07:09Rubbish you talk sometimes.
07:13It says here they're off to Switzerland skiing with friends.
07:17Perhaps their marriage has turned a corner.
07:19Now, much more importantly, who is Billy Joel?
07:24Billy Joel.
07:26Oh, Joel?
07:27Yes.
07:28Uptown girl.
07:30What are you talking about?
07:32What are you talking about?
07:32ã…‚
11:17life and in the next
12:13we've had it confirmed the Prince of Wales is safe ma'am
12:18although one of the guests Mrs Palmer Tomkinson is still in intensive care and the one fatality
12:25was Hugh Lindsay oh no his wife our widow works in the press office Sarah if you wanted to send
12:38a letter of course Martin yes ma'am just to say along with the coverage of his royal highness's
12:53near escape we should also brace ourselves for more speculation about the Wales's marriage
13:00it seems the Prince and Princess had not been on the best of terms prior to the accident and
13:05we'd received reports of arguments and raised voices certain newspapers were about to run
13:11stories and although we might expect a reprieve of a few days given the circumstances we can't
13:18expect it to last for long now
13:41the Prince and Princess of Wales are traveling back to Britain this afternoon following a devastating
13:47accident that has cut short their skiing holiday in Switzerland on board their flight will be the body
13:52of Major Hugh Lindsay the close friend of the couple who died in the avalanche yesterday the Prince of Wales
13:58was
13:59himself barely pile and he turned away from death
14:12the Coldwell
14:13Lucy
14:13who
14:13myosed
14:16who
15:17What have I done now?
15:19You? Nothing.
15:20But as his sister and confidant, I thought you might throw some light on a subject about which I've been
15:25ostriching, rather.
15:27The true state of Charles' marriage.
15:29You don't want to know.
15:31Actually, I do.
15:35Tea?
15:36Yes, please.
15:58The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:02Please.
16:05All right.
16:10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl who fell madly in love with a handsome prince.
16:14Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else, who was herself in love with someone else, and they
16:19all lived unhappily ever after.
16:22That's it.
16:23In a nutshell, do you need more?
16:25A little.
16:26There's already a big age difference, but Charles is older than his years, and Diana is younger than hers, which
16:31makes it not an age gap, but an age chasm.
16:34On the face of it, they come from similar aristocratic backgrounds, but their personalities come from different planets.
16:40They have different interests, different friends.
16:43He doesn't understand her.
16:44She doesn't understand him.
16:46And considering all that, they've actually done remarkably well.
16:50But.
16:53There comes a point in any failing marriage, and here I speak with some experience, when you realize there's no
16:59point in trying anymore.
17:00It's easier to just let the current take you away.
17:05And the minute Harry was born and duty was done, the marriage was effectively over, and they started to find
17:09comfort in the arms of others.
17:12How many others?
17:15Diana's been with her bodyguard, her riding instructor.
17:20And Charles?
17:22He's just been with one.
17:24He's also been a bit more discreet.
17:26The only people who know about Camilla are, well, pretty much the whole of Gloucestershire, who all seem to be
17:31involved in facilitating it.
17:33You can't conduct an extramarital affair without somewhere to meet, or sleep, or...
17:38What do you think?
17:39But Diana, Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace it's like a revolving door.
17:46The suitors park outside her office because it's the only place with no security cameras.
17:51One after another.
17:53In and out.
17:56In and out.
17:59Unfortunately, the Wales marriage is a rare example of something that is actually worse than the newspaper's report.
18:31The Queen.
18:34He has asked to see you in the winter's plans at the earliest opportunity.
