00:02:01It's ridiculous.
00:02:07Marry me.
00:02:14That's not a proposal. I can't do that without my mother's permission, but...
00:02:19I realise more than anything in the world, I want you to be my wife.
00:02:30That's a complete disaster.
00:02:33Including the Prime Minister's claim that Saddam's apparently non-existent weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes.
00:02:53Good morning, gentlemen.
00:02:55Good morning, ma'am.
00:02:55Good morning.
00:02:56Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting is, and I should say it's not because we have any reason to
00:03:02be fearful...
00:03:03Oh, get on with it, David.
00:03:05...that we might really step up our planning of Operation London Bridge.
00:03:10That's the code name for your funeral, ma'am.
00:03:13We know what it is, Edward.
00:03:15Is that really necessary? I recently got a clean bill of health, and in terms of age, I'm only...
00:03:20Eighty.
00:03:21Yes, all right. Not quite.
00:03:23A matter of months.
00:03:25Simply for reasons of prudence and good order.
00:03:27In which case, why not start with the Duke of Edinburgh? He's older than me.
00:03:31And statistically, men tend to die earlier.
00:03:34Well, that's true. And that's why we've been working on mine for years.
00:03:38Operation Fourth Bridge.
00:03:40Oh. No, don't say that.
00:03:41Why?
00:03:42It's so sad.
00:03:44Oh, no. No, it's... I'm finding it all rather stimulating.
00:03:49You might, too.
00:03:51It's surprising what it all stirs up, isn't it, Edward?
00:03:54Yes.
00:03:54So, with your permission, ma'am, can we make a start?
00:04:16As a template, we've used the funeral of the late King George VI.
00:04:20Next, we would call on an estimated 6,000 military personnel at the procession, a tri-service parade, embracing each
00:04:29of the armed services, alongside representatives from the 15 other Commonwealth realms.
00:04:36The gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard. They will march at the customary rhythm of service.
00:04:50. . . . . . . . . . . .
00:05:03. . . . . . . .
00:06:54What's going on?
00:06:56The Prime Minister's just coming out, sir.
00:07:12Do you remember when he first came to power?
00:07:14They took to the streets and cheered.
00:07:17Now they want to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:07:21Tony Blair has become Tony Blyer.
00:07:25One's reminded once again that the career of Prime Ministers is nasty, brutish and short.
00:07:31Except I gather he's no intention of stepping down.
00:07:33His ambition is to become the first Labour Prime Minister to win a third successive term.
00:07:38That's the thing.
00:07:40Once people get a taste of life at the top, they never want to leave.
00:07:43Is that right?
00:07:44They just want to keep...
00:07:46on and on.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:50Yes.
00:07:50Anyway, I'm sure this is not why you've come to see me today.
00:07:53No.
00:08:01I've come to make a request I wish I'd made 30 years ago.
00:08:07to ask your blessing
00:08:10to marry Camilla.
00:08:15Can't say this has come out of the blue, Mummy.
00:08:18She and I have been in love now for 30 years.
00:08:23And every day of those 30 years, she has been heroic.
00:08:27You don't think ending her relationship with you once you'd married Diana would have been heroic?
00:08:33She did.
00:08:33Camilla is blameless in that regard.
00:08:36She always wanted to keep her marriage.
00:08:38Then why didn't she?
00:08:39Because her husband left.
00:08:41And why did he do that?
00:08:43Because he'd had enough, as I understand it, of reading about her adultery with you in the newspapers.
00:08:47You and I both know Andrew is no angel.
00:08:50He was serially unfaithful himself.
00:08:52So can we agree there's nothing heroic about any of this?
00:08:55For years and years, Camilla has suffered judgment and calumny and never, ever complained.
00:09:01Not once.
00:09:02That is heroic.
00:09:06Instead, she stayed silent and loyal to you and the crown.
00:09:12But not a single thank you in return.
00:09:15A thank you?
00:09:16Yes, thank you.
00:09:17Not just for her discretion, but for loving and making happy the person who's next in line.
00:09:24That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:37What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:44He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50You always said, Mummy, that you couldn't do the job without Papa by your side.
00:09:56That he's your strength and stay.
00:10:01And Camilla is my strength.
00:10:04And my stay.
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her.
00:10:11I will reflect on it.
00:10:14Take advice.
00:10:17And give you an answer soon.
00:10:42You'll probably be fine.
00:10:50You all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge.
00:10:54Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:10:57Oh, yes, a little heavy at the moment, ma'am.
00:10:59But it will shrink down nicely as you begin to express your preferences.
00:11:03My preference would be a quiet service in Scotland, out of sight and over in 20 minutes.
00:11:09Perfectly understandable.
00:11:10But this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest-serving monarch in history.
00:11:14People will want to celebrate your reign and mark the end of any era.
00:11:18Not just here, but all around the world.
00:11:20So, I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies depending upon where the, uh, forgive me, ma'am, the, uh,
00:11:28death actually occurs.
00:11:30If it's abroad, ma'am, or here in the United Kingdom.
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local.
00:11:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:11:39The first chapter is if the event occurs on a foreign tour.
00:11:45Please turn to page 10.
00:11:53Are you guys going to Harry Meade's birthday party?
00:11:56Definitely.
00:11:57When is it?
00:11:58Next week.
00:11:59Should be good.
00:12:00250 people going.
00:12:03Fancy dress.
00:12:04I hate fancy dress.
00:12:05You have to rent a costume, which invariably stinks of other people's BO.
00:12:09Fucking royal quack.
00:12:12Meet my brother.
00:12:13Life and soul.
00:12:15What's the theme?
00:12:17Colonials and natives.
00:12:18Then there's that.
00:12:21You think they could have picked a more offensive theme?
00:12:23Mate, you're such an undergraduate now.
00:12:25You'd have never said that before you went to uni.
00:12:27Now I am saying it.
00:12:28Cliche.
00:12:29That's me, Dad.
00:12:29I'm out.
00:12:30Fucking idiot.
00:12:31Come on, lad.
00:12:32You know, you can't fucking shoot me.
00:12:35Fuck you.
00:12:36Fuck the rest.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on, hold on.
00:12:39Hold on, hold on.
00:12:40Kick his ass.
00:12:42Fucking ass.
00:12:43Goose.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses.
00:12:48I just had a call from the Queen's private secretary.
00:12:52Can you come down, please?
00:12:54It's never good when they come in packs.
00:12:59Yeah.
00:13:28Your Majesty.
00:13:29My Lord Bishops.
00:13:32I asked you all here today because the Prince of Wales has requested my permission to marry
00:13:38Mrs. Parker Bowles.
00:13:43And I think I'd like to grant it.
00:13:51And, of course, as head of the Church of England, that is your right.
00:13:57But it will not be straightforward.
00:13:59Or, one suspects, popular.
00:14:02Why?
00:14:03I was led to believe the General Synod had eased its stance on the marriage of divorcees.
00:14:08It has.
00:14:10But many people in this country still believe that the relationship between the Prince of
00:14:16Wales and Mrs. Parker Bowles was responsible for the breakdown of a royal marriage.
00:14:24The Church, I think, needs to be satisfied that permitting the new marriage would not, in
00:14:30effect, consecrate a past infidelity.
00:14:35For the Church of England to be seen to be blessing it, could risk a split in the Anglican
00:14:41communion.
00:14:43One suggestion could be that, and I would be interested in hearing the Archbishop of Canterbury's
00:14:49view, that the Prince and Mrs. Parker Bowles marry in a civil ceremony, and then have
00:14:55a Church blessing afterwards.
00:14:57In a registry office?
00:15:00In the eyes of the Church, no marriage service is more legitimate than another.
00:15:04It's more a question of signals, appearances.
00:15:09A condition of the blessing could be some form of atonement.
00:15:15Quite so.
00:15:16Some acknowledgement of wrongdoing on the couple's part.
00:15:24The service might include a prayer of penitence, in which the couple join with the congregation
00:15:30in asking forgiveness for past... wickedness.
00:15:39I've always taken comfort in the knowledge that God retaineth not his anger forever, because
00:15:45he delighteth in mercy.
00:15:49Whatever short-term risk the marriage may present to the integrity of the Church, one
00:15:55has to imagine it would do less damage than if I were to die.
00:15:59Well, it is going to happen one day.
00:16:04And my heir acceded to the throne while living in sin.
00:16:16Are you?
00:16:24Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:27It was an incredible decision.
00:16:30Your Highnesses, Her Majesty, we'll see you now.
00:16:37Come on, hurry.
00:16:39Hurry.
00:16:40Oh, well.
00:16:50Granny.
00:16:52Thank you both for coming.
00:16:54Now, I need some air.
00:16:56Would you be very cross if I suggest we go for a walk?
00:17:11I'd like to discuss your dear Papa.
00:17:14What's he done now?
00:17:15Nothing he's done.
00:17:18It's what he wants to do.
00:17:22How would you both feel about him getting married?
00:17:25I knew it.
00:17:28Why can't they just carry on as they are?
00:17:30Because Charles would be king one day.
00:17:32The last time we had an unmarried king on the throne, it did not end well.
00:17:36Yeah, but was...
00:17:36William?
00:17:40Obviously, both of us prefer to think of him with mummy.
00:17:43And anything other than that feels...
00:17:46Wrong.
00:17:47So wrong.
00:17:49But I suppose this is the reality.
00:17:53And she does seem to make him happy.
00:17:57Does she?
00:17:59And having him happy and settled is good for us.
00:18:04And ultimately, good for...
00:18:06Good for...
00:18:07Well, as you say, he is going to be king.
00:18:10Isn't he, one day?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:14Plus, then he might finally shut up about it all.
00:18:19So?
00:18:22Is that a yes?
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:28I didn't want to give my blessing until you had given yours.
00:18:36Yes, good.
00:18:44Yes?
00:18:47Yes, of course.
00:18:48It's the queen.
00:18:50You're wrong, my highness.
00:18:51My highness.
00:18:52Yes, put her through, please.
00:19:02Mummy.
00:19:08I can't believe you caved like that.
00:19:10I didn't cave.
00:19:11I'm just being a realist.
00:19:12I'm changing your tune.
00:19:13I'm not saying what you feel.
00:19:14That's what being a realist is.
00:19:15You're such a fucking company, man.
00:19:17I'm just trying to be an adult.
00:19:20Don't expect you to understand what that feels like.
00:19:24Congratulations.
00:19:28Thank you, mummy.
00:19:36It's done.
00:21:13Teeth.
00:21:17Harry's more gritted than William's.
00:21:19I'm not surprised.
00:21:22I worry about Harry.
00:21:25We all do.
00:21:27Some time in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35everything all right i think so though as you predicted

00:35:21Oh, there you are.
00:35:24Yes, here I still am.
00:35:26No breakfast.
00:35:28Wasn't hungry.
00:35:29Not like you.
00:35:48How was Harry?
00:35:50a bit subdued his father's got him mucking out pigs as punishment that feels a little old testament
00:35:59i agree harry was foolish to go to that party dressed in that costume but
00:36:06he was bloody unlucky that a fellow guest should go to the newspapers like that yes
00:36:13so i phoned the costumed rental shop gave him a piece of my mind why what will it take
00:36:20to get you to understand should i draw it in sodding crayon the uniform was inaccurate
00:36:29the german africa corps never wore swastikas
00:36:35a fact i impressed upon the sandhurst top brass who happily agreed this latest episode should not
00:36:43prevent harry entering officer training oh well done to ban him would be madness
00:36:50and would only exacerbate the real problem which is a lack of a sense of purpose due to a failure
00:36:58of
00:36:58responsible parenting
00:37:02yes
00:37:06do you want to discuss anything before i go about what
00:37:11well the funeral but it might have stirred up for you
00:37:15no thank you right well i'll be off duty calls
00:37:35you card why didn't you tell him
00:37:41what you've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral
00:37:44in fact since the golden jubilee
00:37:48how tired no not just tired exhausted you are by it all
00:37:55yes
00:38:01how ready for a rest
00:38:05and at the same time how ready he suddenly looks
00:38:09who
00:38:11charles
00:38:14oh
00:38:14him
00:38:17yes
00:38:28we even have precedent
00:38:30queen williamina of the netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in favor of her daughter
00:38:35charlotte of luxembourg was also in her late 60s
00:38:37that's the netherlands and luxembourg
00:38:38bicycle monarchy is not something at all
00:38:40it's exactly the same thing and in both cases a great success
00:38:49you've been on the throne for over half a century
00:38:51that's longer than any other queen
00:38:53apart from queen victoria
00:38:54how effective was she by the end
00:38:57rheumatic and blind weak and unwell
00:38:58hidden away on the isle of wight
00:39:01you're almost 80 years old
00:39:02so everyone keeps reminding me
00:39:05well that's only 20 years past the retirement age for women
00:39:08no need to go on
00:39:09that's what i'm saying
00:39:11no need to go on
00:39:14your first loyalty has always been to the crown
00:39:17sometimes at the expense of being a mother
00:39:22stepping down
00:39:23is the right thing to do
00:39:26as queen and as a mother
00:40:06everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding
00:40:09everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding
00:40:109th of april at the guild hall in windsor
00:40:14uh we also felt given your role as head of the church of england and the church's position that marriage
00:40:20is a lifelong commitment that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony in person
00:40:27the idea being you can watch the coverage on television and uh and then join everyone for the service at
00:40:33saint george's chapel and the reception at windsor castle
00:40:40has the prime minister been invited to the reception
00:40:43yes ma'am
00:40:44and the leader of the opposition
00:40:46yes
00:40:47and the archbishop of canterbury
00:40:49yes
00:40:50and there will be an opportunity for me to say a few words
00:40:54oh i'm sure everyone would would be delighted would you uh like me to draft something
00:40:59that won't be necessary i'll write something myself that's all thank you robin

00:41:36how was supper

00:41:41boys were snapping at each other
00:41:43well that's just boys
00:41:45can i just make one request that you don't make my wedding day a misery
00:41:51i've waited too long for it
00:41:54yes but you didn't witness it it was horrid how they were to each other
00:41:59vicious and unkind
00:42:01they're young riding the waves of emotion which is understandable after what they've been through
00:42:07are they going to blame me do you think and hold me responsible for the way they've turned out
00:42:13well being their father you are responsible
00:42:16for making it better
00:42:20as soon as they're through tomorrow everything will be fine
00:42:25well i do hope so
00:42:27how are you me i'm all right
00:42:32my sister persuaded me to get a fake tan so now i smell like the dog's blanket
00:42:41are you having any last minute doubts
00:42:44not me
00:42:46i'm in
00:42:50for all of it
00:42:52for whatever being married to you turns out to be
00:42:56well
00:42:57you might find out what that entails sooner than you imagine
00:43:01what's that supposed to mean
00:43:04i've been told that the queen intends to make a speech at the reception afterwards
00:43:08it's a speech which nobody's seen and which she's um written herself
00:43:17it feels like she's planning a big announcement
00:43:22my father met with anne to ask what she thought was in it but she's as baffled as the rest
00:43:27of us
00:43:28then anne rang andrew and he went riding with the queen but
00:43:32well you know andrew drew a complete blank
00:43:37so if her intention was to set tongues wagging she certainly succeeded
00:43:43don't give it any further thought
00:43:46yes
00:43:48just think about the boys
00:43:51thank you darling
00:44:11thank you
00:44:13thank you
00:44:17dinner was weird
00:44:20yeah
00:44:24when he overcompensates like that
00:44:27this could be an exciting new chapter for us all
00:44:32bath
00:44:33a few years ago
00:44:35it would have pissed me off
00:44:37now i just don't care
00:44:44i heard granny's going to make a speech at the wedding
00:44:47would you like to know what else i had
00:44:52that she's going to use the occasion to tell the family she's standing down
00:44:57after 50 years in the job
00:44:58she'd never do that
00:45:00and even if she did why on past big day
00:45:02because it's the wedding present he most wants
00:45:07he does want it doesn't he craves it
00:45:12for him and for camilla
00:45:18if she did you know what else it would mean
00:45:21it would be you next
00:45:24that would make you william the fifth
00:45:27better than second
00:45:28he was assassinated by his brother
00:45:31was he
00:45:32who would you believe was also called prince harry
00:45:35he had william killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to winchester to claim the throne for himself
00:45:44don't worry me i wouldn't do that to you
00:46:00really yeah
00:46:02Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:46:37Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:47:02Let's go, let's go.
00:47:32Let's go, let's go.
00:48:02Let's go, let's go.
00:48:12I don't know what you think you're doing.
00:48:14I'm doing the sensible thing, the responsible thing.
00:48:19We're not careful.
00:48:20If I go on another 20, 25 years, a tired, white-haired, geriatric queen will hand over to a tired,
00:48:28white-haired, geriatric prince of Wales.
00:48:30Those are the rules.
00:48:32But if he were then to go on another 20, 25 years, it would mean that for the next half
00:48:38century, the British monarchy would be a very decrepit experience indeed.
00:48:42Is that the right thing to do to the institution?
00:48:45Charles is in the prime of his life now.
00:48:48Honestly, I've never heard so much nonsense.
00:48:50Have you forgotten the oath that you took?
00:48:52Look, I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to
00:48:58your service.
00:48:59You're fit enough to ride and drive, so you're fit enough to wear the crown.
00:49:03You remember what Queen Mary told you?
00:49:08Another geriatric.
00:49:12Monarchy is something you are, not what you do.
00:49:15The crown is a symbol of permanence, of stability, of continuity.
00:49:19If you step down, you will be symbolizing instability and impermanence.
00:49:25You'll also be indicating the luxury of choice, which is the one thing we cannot have if we claim the
00:49:31crown is also our birthright.
00:49:33So you would have a superannuated old lady running the show, while a fit, energetic Prince of Wales watches on,
00:49:39straining at the leash.
00:49:41But I don't see you as decrepit.
00:49:43Since the Jubilee, since Mummy's death, I see you as liberated.
00:49:48Confident.
00:49:50You say that Charles is in his prime, well...
00:49:53I see you in yours.
00:49:58And admit it.
00:50:01You sometimes think there's a difference between you and the rest of the family.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:11It comes naturally to you.
00:50:15They all seem to make such a mess of it.
00:50:18I didn't say that.
00:50:23No, but you've thought it.
00:50:24Privately.
00:50:27And with good reason.
00:50:31This system is a dreadful thing to inflict upon people.
00:50:35It's not natural.
00:50:37It's not fair.
00:50:39It's not kind.
00:50:42But you seem to thrive in it.
00:50:46And more importantly, it seems to thrive under you.
00:50:52So shouldn't you stay for every single day that you can?
00:51:00But what about the life I put aside?
00:51:06The woman I put aside when I became queen.
00:51:16What sort of question is that?
00:51:19For years now, there has been just one Elizabeth.
00:51:24Queen Elizabeth.
00:51:30If you weren't looking for Elizabeth Windsor, you wouldn't find her.
00:51:37She's gone.
00:51:40Long gone.
00:51:43You buried her years ago.
00:52:03And here they are, his royal highness, the prince of Wales, and her royal highness, the duchess of Cornwall,
00:52:09facing the public for the first time as man and wife.
00:52:12No fairytale kiss from the happy couple for the onlookers.
00:52:16Instead, smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Ready?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:31Son.
00:52:33The speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:41Are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure.
00:52:49Come on.
00:53:13Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:53:18maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickeds,
00:53:28which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against
00:53:35thy divine majesty.
00:53:41We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us.
00:53:57Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.
00:54:00Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:02Grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life,
00:54:07in the honour and glory of thy name.
00:54:12Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:54:52I'm ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:09May silence for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:44Today has been a memorable day, with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago, and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7-to-1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14
00:56:04lengths.
00:56:05Royal Leclerc finished second, simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chaplain at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21It is to be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for
00:57:28years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour.
00:58:13Both, as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:43Charles and Camilla.
00:58:55Get you!
00:58:56You're not getting real enough!
00:58:58Oi!
00:59:01This way!
00:59:08Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:11Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14Are you sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Nothing.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to.
00:59:43Go bad.
00:59:45I was going to say need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah.
00:59:53Photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:05Your royal highnesses.
01:00:06Your royal highnesses.
01:00:08Your future majesty.
01:00:13Your royal highnesses.
01:00:14Thank you very much.
01:00:16Ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:17Tootie.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them.
01:00:23Keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:40Harry.
01:00:42Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you your majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake.
01:00:47Get out of the way.
01:00:48This way please everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:00:59God's sake.
01:01:01Take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:03All right.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14For what e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way please.
01:01:30This way everyone please.
01:01:35Well that was a surprise.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:33Night on the town?
01:02:34Joyriding?
01:02:35Ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as queen for as long as you possibly can for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11But I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember?
01:03:12I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:29The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:32This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:41We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is, that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep dearly sleep.
01:04:38Oh.
01:04:39You looked?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:43A piper's lament.
01:04:46Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:53And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58You looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:03Well.
01:05:09I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:21I'll leave you to it.
01:05:23It's like a humorous.
01:05:25All right.
01:05:26I'll leave you.
01:05:27Bye.
01:05:28Bye.
01:05:31Bye.
01:05:33Bye.
01:05:35Bye.
01:05:36Bye.
01:05:38Bye.
01:05:39Bye.
01:05:41Bye.
