13:50That's so, that's brilliant.
14:00It's just the sheer humiliation of it all.
14:05Which is why this time, I'm left with no option but to...
14:12Or mention the D word.
14:15Diplomacy? Détente?
14:17What? Is it asking too much to say duty?
14:22Divorce, mummy.
14:23Oh, darling.
14:25She's had enough.
14:28And I don't blame her.
14:31I blame us.
14:33What?
14:33We all knew what we were getting into when we brought Sarah into the family.
14:37Everyone was so pro. You more than anyone.
14:41Yes. She was a breath of fresh air.
14:46Modern, relatable, buckets of fun.
14:49That laugh.
14:51So infectious.
14:52Yes.
14:54But that's what we do in this family.
14:57Destroy anyone that's different.
14:59Not at the beginning, of course.
15:01First we tell ourselves how good they'll be for the system.
15:04They'll be our salvation, our secret weapon.
15:07Make us look more modern, more normal, more human.
15:14And we learn the same painful lessons yet again.
15:19That no one with any character, originality, spark, wit and flair, has a place in the system.
15:30Dear Peter, it was a great pleasure to hear from you again, and I look forward to seeing you on
15:36the 7th.
15:38I would say keep your eyes open for a diminutive 60-year-old prune.
15:42But mercifully, time hasn't touched me at all, and I'm entirely unchanged since our last meeting in 1955.
15:49What?
16:01How many?
16:04How many?
16:11Over?
16:13I know it!adosn
16:19I'd like to see you.
16:22Roger Carter.
16:27Harold Armstrong Scott.
16:30I'd like to see you again.
16:32Martin.
16:34And the former equerry to his majesty of king.
16:41Come on, honey.
16:44Peter.
16:47Having danced
16:49a little too vigorously
16:50with the princesses,
16:52join me with the festivities.
16:55I, and I expect
16:56the rest of you, never
16:58forget the beauty of the
17:01Drakensburg Mountains,
17:03Victoria Falls,
17:05endless deserted beaches,
17:09as well
17:11as the Port of Elizabeth.
17:23People
17:42and and
17:42and
17:42and
17:43and
17:51Please certainly put some color in your cheeks.
17:55Does he have a name?
17:57Tim.
17:59Does he make you happy?
18:02Are you in love?
18:05I think I am.
18:07Does everyone disapprove?
18:09Almost certainly.
18:12Then take it.
18:14Fight for him.
18:16Ah, this song.
18:18And that's my cue to leave.
18:20Are you going so soon?
18:22Yes.
18:23Goodbye, darling.
18:24Safe jim home.
18:27This song used to be your cue to stay.
18:30I know, but I...
18:32I'm afraid I must insist.
18:34What?
18:45What the hell?
18:46What the hell?
18:51Ah!
18:54What?
18:57I don't know.
18:58I'm afraid I should.
18:58Come on.
18:59Move the wrong way.
19:04I feel like you're going to be a little girl.
19:04This is what I'm doing.
20:10That was lovely.
20:13I hope we don't leave it another 40 years or meeting again.
20:18Well, as it happens, I shall be back in London soon.
20:25And there are some things I'd like to return to you.
20:29The letters.
20:32Oh.
20:33Not as a rejection.
20:36I kept them all.
20:39Reading them, it took me back to that time.
20:41And I thought, they're so precious.
20:45I'm not getting any younger, and if anything should happen, I'd hate to see them fall into
20:50the wrong hands.
20:51So I...
20:54Well, I thought better with you.
20:58That's very thoughtful of you.
21:02As it happens, I kept all your letters, too.
21:06Every one of them.
21:11Good night, Peter.
21:13Good night, you, Orwell Hines.
21:15Good night, you, Orwell Hines.
21:45Oh.
21:46My book.
21:47Almost finished.
21:50So many other riveting things to read, too.
21:54Don't.
21:56Anyway.
22:00I'm here to talk about Tim.
22:02Tim?
22:05Commander Lawrence.
22:07Oh.
22:09Are you two still...
22:10We are.
22:12And I'm here to say we intend for it to be permanent.
22:18As in, till death do us part.
22:21What?
22:23You hardly know one another.
22:26Almost three years, Mummy.
22:29And the ink is barely dry on your divorce from Mark.
22:33And in the climate we find ourselves with so much scrutiny on the family.
22:41Are you sure it wouldn't be wise to wait?
22:46Wait.
22:47Wait.
22:47Just a little.
22:50Darling, I'm glad you found happiness.
22:52I know how difficult it was in the end with Mark.
22:54But of all the families you could have been born into, fate has endowed you with this one.
22:59With everything that goes with it.
23:01Including the fact that your mother is Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
23:04And remarriage when the first husband is still alive, as you well know, is not only frowned upon.
23:10It is forbidden.
23:11I, of all people, hardly need reminding of the requirements of being in this family.
23:18I have dedicated myself to my role.
23:20Bent myself into shape.
23:21Placed duty above all else.
23:23Including more often than not my own happiness.
23:26Five engagements a day.
23:29Three hundred days a year for the past twenty-four years.
23:32Well, you cannot have all of me.
23:36And I will not give all of me.
23:40And I will marry Tim.
23:56In you go.
23:57In you go.
23:58In you go.
24:00How was that?
24:02Fine.
24:06Let's just go.
24:07Wait.
24:08All right.
24:40Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song, and the melody haunts my reverie.
24:58And I am once again with you, though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain, my stardust
25:15melody, the memory...
25:18Your Royal Highness, as requested, I will be accompanying you on a short ride to Gregowan Lodge tomorrow, weather permitting.
25:26Group Captain Peter Townshend.
25:33Your Royal Highness, I've been meaning to thank you for your kindness in Balmoral.
25:39You may have thought your kind act went unnoticed, camouflaged as you were in your green tartan skirt and tweed
25:46jacket.
25:47It did not.
25:51My darling Margaret, it was reckless of you to visit me in my office today.
25:56My stardust melody, the memory of love's refrain.
26:05Reckless and magnificent.
26:10I do love you so.
26:26Darling Margaret, it seems the world has intruded our private Eden, and wants to forbid our love.
26:37They're banishing me.
26:39They're banishing me.
26:39Sending me away, like a criminal.
26:43I hate to think of you suffering, a creature made for happiness.
26:49But hold to our pact.
26:53Stay true to one another, in spite of everything.
27:01Margaret, I write to you with a heavy heart.
27:04I have just returned to Brussels from a year abroad around the world.
27:09A young woman named Mary Luce accompanied me on this trip as my secretary and photographer.
27:16Her companionship has been one of the few joys in my life.
27:20I have decided to ask her to marry me.
27:24I know you will feel betrayed by this decision.
28:12I have decided to with a Gloria Luce.
28:20Prince Harming, they're calling me now
28:23amid endless other calumnies and lies
28:27I know you've always tried to see both sides of the marriage
28:30but will you now finally agree
28:32that official separation is the only sensible course?
28:36Charles
28:39If it were just incompatibility or infidelity
28:43that would be one thing
28:45but the sheer vindictiveness of that Morton book
28:50and then the temerity to insist that she had nothing to do with it
28:54I've done as you asked, Mummy
28:58I've tried to make it work for 11 years
29:03but there comes a point
29:04I have been no stranger this year to my children's marital difficulties
29:09but while Anne's and Andrew's problems are deeply distressing
29:13yours are in a category of their own
29:14because you as future king are in a category of your own
29:19at my coronation I took an oath that you will one day take at yours
29:24to maintain the laws of God
29:27and God's law is that marriage is for life
29:31and while it is expected for the monarch to be married and produce an heir
29:35being happily married is a preference rather than a requirement
29:41you also took a solemn promise to maintain and protect the crown
29:46Diana won't rest until she's blown the whole thing up
29:49is that what you want?
29:57it's funny, isn't it?
29:58I...
29:58for years I've called for a more modern monarchy
30:01that reflects the world outside
30:05but look at the rates of family breakdown out there
30:07and then look at us
30:09Margaret divorced
30:10Anne divorced
30:12right
30:12Andrew humiliated and heading for divorce
30:16me trapped and dreaming of divorce
30:18and you talk about moral examples
30:21if we were an ordinary family
30:24and social services came to visit
30:26they'd have thrown us into care
30:28and you into jail
30:28that's enough
30:31we've got our modern monarchy all right
30:35just not in the way we hoped
30:44it begins to look like parental failure
30:47the gravest kind
30:51and yet the Duke of Edinburgh and I
30:52could not have been more clear with the children
30:54about how important we consider marriage to be
31:01I have every sympathy
31:05my own daughter is divorced
31:08my son is separated
31:11all we can do
31:13is ask for God's guidance
31:16how did it come to this
31:21our generation was brought up to believe
31:23that marriage was an ideal
31:25and divorce was a problem
31:28this generation
31:32yes
31:34but the prince and princess
31:37are not yet separated
31:38there is still hope of reconciliation
31:41and we all pray for it
31:48we do
31:53daily
31:57we do
32:00we do
32:01we do
32:03we do
32:17we do
32:19we do
32:29The force is coming in of a fire at Windsor Castle, with flames shooting from the turrets
32:34and smoke pouring out of the town.
32:37The Majesty is being kept informed of the operation, and it's understood she's on her
32:43way to the scene.
33:04It went up like a tinderbox, those were the words of one observer about this blaze, which
33:09despite the efforts of the fire service, still shows no signs of being brought under control.
33:15The entire North Terrace is ravaged by flames, fire crews are working determinedly to stop
33:20them spreading and destroying some of Britain's most priceless treasures.
33:25It's now about six hours since this fire started, and much of the top left-hand side
33:30of Windsor Castle is still on fire, still burning.
33:34The destruction inside, I'm told, is absolutely enormous.
33:37Ceilings have come down, smoke damage, fire damage, water damage.
33:41Well, I was talking to one of the Queen's aides, and I asked him what she felt about what had
33:47happened and what her mood about it was, and he said that she's like any mother watching
33:51her own home burn down.
33:53She's obviously absolutely devastated.
33:55People are just absolutely stunned by what's happening around them.
34:03You're welcome.
34:10It's your best seeing her being.
34:12The truth is all about you.
34:14What is the truth?
34:16Not the truth.
34:22You're welcome.
34:23The truth is all about you.
34:24It's all about you.
34:26You're welcome, since I was brothers and sisters.
35:02The Rembrandt?
35:04Saved.
35:06The Reubens?
35:08Thank God, saved.
35:10And the Leonardo.
35:12But tragically, more than a hundred rooms, including nine state rooms, destroyed.
35:21What about the Crimson Troine Room?
35:24Dare I ask?
35:27I'm surprised you remember it.
35:30Of course I remember it.
35:34Everyone had gone up to London for some ceremony or other.
35:38It's the Monday service at St. Thomas.
35:41Leaving us alone.
35:45We spent a whole afternoon in the Crimson Room, locked in conversation.
35:51Yes.
35:53Whatever were we talking about?
35:56Everything and nothing, I suppose.
35:58Not nothing.
36:01As I remember, we were excitedly making plans for our future.
36:07With such certainty and conviction.
36:13Like those plans, I'm afraid the Crimson Room did not survive.
36:20How sad.
36:22Yes.
36:26I'm curious.
36:28What made you write to me after all that time?
36:34Now life goes on forever.
36:40Recently, I had that made clear to me by my doctor.
36:46Oh.
36:48Peter, I'm so sorry.
36:52Around the same time I heard a radio interview with you.
36:55And I suppose I wanted to know if our love, in the context of a whole life, had been a
37:06fleeting one or a lasting one.
37:39Face intense questioning over how the restoration bill will be met.
37:43Some Labour MPs say the Queen, not taxpayers, should pay for all repair work.
37:49The monarchy can't have it always a one-way system under which we, the taxpayers, pick up the bills.
37:56But they refuse to be taxpayers themselves.
38:00Neither the building nor its contents were insured.
38:02Good time, bad time.
38:03The very worst of times.
38:08Any idea how it started?
38:11The great metaphor.
38:14I mean, fire.
38:17The spotlight blew a fuse or something.
38:21In the private chapel.
38:23All very innocent.
38:25Or was it?
38:28Like one of those...
38:31Agatha Christie mysteries.
38:33One can imagine multiple suspects, each with their own perfectly plausible motive to burn the place down.
38:41Who?
38:42My neighbour, for one.
38:44Diana.
38:45Frustrated, after years of neglect, she decides to take the matter into her own hands.
38:52Though arson probably isn't violent enough for her, she'd prefer an atomic bomb.
38:58Hasn't she detonated that already?
39:00Andrew.
39:01Andrew.
39:02The Duke of Eauhawk.
39:03Furious at his own mother for having led him to believe his whole life that he was irresistible and invulnerable
39:10only to discover his principal role is to be humiliated.
39:16Me?
39:20You?
39:23You?
39:24You don't think I have reason to burn down my sister's home?
39:30Why would you do that?
39:33Because of what she denied me?
39:40Peter Townsend.
39:43What?
39:46Without sun and water, crops fail, Lilibet.
39:56Let me ask.
39:57How many times has Philip done something?
40:03Intervene when you couldn't.
40:05Be strong when you couldn't be.
40:07Be angry when you couldn't be.
40:09Be decisive when you couldn't be.
40:11How many times have you said a silent prayer of gratitude for him and thought to yourself,
40:16if I didn't have him, I'd never be able to do it.
40:18How often?
40:21Peter was my son.
40:26My water.
40:29And you denied me him.
40:31I denied you as queen, not as your sister.
40:36The conditions are irrelevant.
40:37The prohibition is what counts.
40:40A prohibition, incidentally.
40:41You are not now extending to Anne.
40:43That is different.
40:44How is it different?
40:48Anne is a royal princess with no prospect of acceding to the throne, as was I.
40:54Commander Lawrence is a palace equerry marrying scandalously above his station.
40:59Peter was a palace equerry hoping to marry scandalously above his.
41:03Anne and Commander Lawrence are in love.
41:05Peter and I were in love.
41:06In both cases, one party is a divorcee.
41:09The situation is identical in every way except for the outcome.
41:14She is being allowed to marry him.
41:20I wasn't.
41:24Her story ends happening.
41:29I did not.
41:36And yet, even after 40 years, you cannot bring yourself to acknowledge what happened to me and the part you
41:48played in it.
41:50I am kind of at the top of a house here.
41:56Tony, thewoman has been on the floor.
41:57Well, I was as a child.
42:00I was so angry.
42:01We were trying not to recognize you, too.
42:07I was so angry.
42:18How did you see therade?
42:27I don't know.
42:55I'll put some balsam in your purse tonight, in case you shouldn't stop it.
42:59Thank you, Peggy.
43:01Your Majesty.
43:02Mummy, that's a surprise.
43:05I've been told you're unwell.
43:07It's just a cold.
43:09I heard fever.
43:11In which case, the only sensible course is bed rest.
43:14It's a lunch to celebrate me.
43:16I can't pull out.
43:17Yes, you can.
43:19And I don't want to pull out.
43:27I've also taken a look at the speech.
43:30You know the three questions we always ask ourselves.
43:33Does it need saying?
43:35Does it need saying now?
43:37Does it need saying by me?
43:40To describe it in this way, annus horribilis.
43:45People will remark on it.
43:47Not just because of the theatrical deviation into Latin.
43:50What's your point?
43:51My point, since we're speaking Latin now, is tempus fugit.
43:59Time passes.
44:00People will move on and forget.
44:01Make a statement like this.
44:03No one will forget.
44:05Quite apart from the fact it's an expression of personal sentiment, the kind of which we do not make.
44:10Mummy.
44:10And it could also be interpreted as an admission of our failings, which will only encourage further attacks.
44:18It has been, by some margin, the worst year of my reign.
44:22Quite possibly my life.
44:24I'm happy for people to know.
44:27Know what?
44:28That their queen is depressed.
44:30That I'm made of flesh and blood.
44:33And that perhaps we have fallen short in our duty as a family.
44:38And owe them an apology.
44:41Apology?
44:44That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary.
44:49Monarchy is the only part of the Constitution with an element of the divine.
44:55When you wear the crown, you are transfigured.
45:00Apologizing, Sal, is not just your dignity, but God's.
45:04Whose will it is that you are who you are.
45:09Actually, I'm not sure if there's anything to be gained by that.
45:13Yes, there is.
45:15Her peace of mind.
45:18She's done God's will about as immaculately as any human for the past 40 years.
45:24She's earned the right to say anything she likes.
45:28And it's our job to support her.
45:32Unconditionally.
45:32Since when have you sung that tune?
45:34Since day one he sung that tune.
45:36Day one.
45:44Now, if you don't mind, we're due at the Guildhall.
45:58Day one.
46:01of the Hillary Company, Royal Salute!
46:14Please be upstanding, the Royal Majesty and Queen.
46:18My Lord Mayor,
46:22the anniversary of any occasion is a time to reflect.
46:28But in light of the events of the last 12 months,
46:33perhaps I have more to reflect on than most.
46:391992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted pleasure.
46:47It has turned out to be an annus horribilis.
46:54No institution is beyond reproach, and no member of it either.
47:02The high standards we in the monarchy are held to by the public
47:07must be the same benchmark to which we hold ourselves personally.
47:14If we can't admit the errors of our past,
47:18what hope for reconciliation can there be?
47:29Today, I'd like to pay tribute, if I may, to my family.
47:37Throughout the four decades, I have been on the throne.
47:40They have quite literally been my sun and water.
47:49For all the sacrifices they have made.
47:53Indeed, to all of you here,
47:56whose prayers and well wishes
47:59have been a source of strength to me
48:02this last 40 years,
48:06I say thank you.
48:09Please be understanding
48:11for a close,
48:13and this will be to me.
48:40Annus Horribilis.
48:41Well, it has been.
48:42All of you.
48:43And I can see much of that has been my fault.
48:46For the record,
48:48no one blames you.
48:50On the contrary,
48:51everyone blames me all of the time.
48:54And you're right to.
48:56This system,
48:57of which the sovereign is the principal beneficiary,
49:00is horribly hard on the rest of you.
49:03You too?
49:04That's the job.
49:05Let's face it.
49:10Come and have lunch here tomorrow.
49:12We could get a little bit tipsy.
49:15Make light of it all.
49:17The fire, the job,
49:20the children,
49:22Peter Townsend.
49:23I'd love to.
49:26But sadly, I'm going to Carlisle
49:27to open a business park.
49:29What?
49:30Then Penrith.
49:32Oh!
49:32The Scots Guard Association.
49:35Then Kirby Stephen in Cumbria,
49:37to visit the Factory of Heredities.
49:40Then I'll have to get sloshed on my own.
49:43With rum.
49:44Rum?
49:46You're not drinking rum,
49:48like some pirate.
49:49No!
49:51Rum!
49:52My dog!
49:56Oh!
49:59It's funny.
50:01I'm here,
50:02with Brandy and Sherry.
50:07What does that say about us?
50:13Good night, Lilibet.
50:15Good night, Lilibet.
50:16I do love you.
50:20I love you too.
50:22Very much.
50:27God, that was middle class.
50:29Promise me we'll never do that again.
50:30Never.
50:33Good night.
50:34Good night.
50:35Good night.
50:45Sometimes I wonder
50:48Why I spend
50:50The lonely night
50:54Dreaming of a song
50:56The melody
51:00Haunts my reverie
51:03And I am once again with you
51:07When our love was new
51:11And each kiss and inspiration
51:17Oh, but that was long ago
51:20Now my consolation
51:23Is in the stardust of the sun
51:29Beside
51:31A garden wall
51:33When stars are bright
51:37You are in my arms
51:40The night ringale
51:42Tells his fairy tale
51:45Of paradise where roses grew
51:49Though I dream in vain
51:53Though I dream in vain
51:55In my heart
51:57It will remain
52:00My stardust melody
52:02The memory of love's refrain
52:07Oh, I can't take care of
52:27Who is a bloody top
52:27Oh god
52:28He did not
52:30You too
52:30I think descends
52:36Did they perform
