00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:57One, two, three, fast.
02:59Come on, you'll be so silly. Come on.
03:08Hello.
03:13Andrew.
03:15Your royal highness.
03:20Mummy?
03:26is she um she'll be with you in just a moment i have to wait till she picks up in
03:30the other room
03:34so is everyone uh there together yes all here such a special time of year
03:42and is it just the four of you for christmas or
03:45i believe that's her now sir thank you right i'm playing move up laura you've been cheating again
03:52hello i wish you would answer the phone i never know what to say we're alone now
03:59i'm in the bedroom in bed on top of it lucky old bed
04:07are you still in tesha i am missing you terribly
04:14back soon though my darling are you still making the speech in oxford tomorrow yes
04:21that's the reason i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it is it very long
04:25only we're a full house no no no short and punchy and a bit controversial which is why i want
04:32your
04:33opinion you always know best when to rein me in all right oh remind me of the subject the teaching
04:41of
04:41english language in schools it is quite astounding to think that in england we have produced one of
04:49the world's most beautiful languages however the rate at which that language is degenerating has become
04:55a cause for concern it's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats
05:02of shelley of shakespeare efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching
05:08are no longer a priority if we look at the way english is used in business in the popular press
05:14or on television programs or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
05:20so
05:21have
05:34What's the address?
05:35Front side, front side.
05:37And what town are you in?
05:38A chapter.
05:39It's not exactly what's happened.
05:51It's not exactly what's happened.
05:58It's not exactly what's happened.
06:23Every situation is a win-win.
06:26As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this, but the rot begins in the very institutions whose
06:33duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
06:39If we want to produce the next generation of great writers, we must use our education system to protect what
06:46is surely our greatest national export, the English language.
06:50Which, like any language, is so much more than a collection of words.
06:56It's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
07:31What do you think?
07:33Feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
07:38You're awfully good at feeling all the way along.
07:42Stop it.
07:46It's too dangerous.
07:48If we run this, we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:55But, uh, I don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else, either.
08:03So pay him what he wants.
08:05Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:13Be gone to sleep.
08:15Now I'm here.
08:21Night of you.
08:24Adore you.
08:27Night.
08:27Night.
08:30Night.
08:57Night.
09:00Night.
09:08Night.
09:09Night.
09:12Night.
09:15Night.
09:15Night.
09:15Night.
09:17Night.
09:18Night.
09:18Night.
09:20Night.
09:24Night.
10:10You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
11:18Their royal highnesses have no plans to divorce and their constitutional positions are unaffected.
11:24We share the great sorrow which this announcement will cause and ask the public to join us in praying that
11:33God will bring comfort and strength to the prince and princess.
11:37The decision by the prince and princess of Wales to separate has been reached amicably.
11:42They will both continue to participate fully in the upbringing of their children.
11:46And will continue to carry out full and separate programs of public engagement.
11:54The queen and the duke of Edinburgh, though saddened, understand and sympathize with the difficulties that have led to this
11:59decision.
12:03That is the text of the announcement.
12:09I'm sure that I speak for the whole house and millions beyond it in offering our support to both the
12:16prince and princess of Wales at this difficult time.
12:19Amen.
12:22Amen.
12:33Amen.
12:35Amen.
12:39Amen.
13:12When a vessel is in rough seas, it's sometimes necessary to alter her course.
13:19That's why we're all here today.
13:23Now, this particular expedition is the brainchild of the Lord Chamberlain.
13:28David, did you want to say a few words?
13:31Thank you, sir.
13:34I think we can all agree the last few years have been particularly challenging for the monarchy.
13:40The fire at Windsor Castle, the failure of several royal marriages,
13:47questions being raised as to the family's value for money, its relevance.
13:52It's all right. No need to go over it all again.
13:57And so, in consultation with Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,
14:02we've decided to set up an informal council of war.
14:06A task force to safeguard the monarchy's survival in a rapidly changing world.
14:12And since the idea is to find new directions for a way forward...
14:17Ahead.
14:21Ahead.
14:22Ahead.
14:22Ahead.
14:23Ahead.
14:24Ahead.
14:26Ahead.
14:27Ahead.
14:27We would call it the Way Ahead Group.
14:31I suppose I should be grateful.
14:34I've been preaching the gospel of change for...
14:37I don't know how long, after 25 years, they finally agree.
14:41And what did they come up with?
14:43Are we ready for this?
14:45Allowing the public into the royal box of the Albert Hall from time to time.
14:49Mm. Radical.
14:50Making the requirement to bow or curtsy to some members of the royal family optional.
14:55Giving the royal air force central band a more enhanced role in the changing of the guard ceremony at the
15:01palace.
15:01And that's progressive because...
15:03They have some women members within their ranks.
15:05Vive la revolution!
15:07Quite.
15:08Meanwhile, nothing on constitutional reform.
15:10Nothing on the monarch being both head of state and supreme governor of the Church of England.
15:15How on earth to square that with a country that's supposed to be a modern democracy?
15:18I told them, you should be thinking of something much more radical.
15:22You talk of cost-cutting measures and reform of the civilists.
15:27I say, why not abolish it altogether?
15:29Have the monarchy fund itself.
15:32You talk about including more women in the pomp and pageantry.
15:35But why not something more far-reaching than that?
15:38Ending the bar on the eldest daughters inheriting the throne.
15:42The problem with the ideas that you've presented today is that they don't reflect a modern Britain.
15:47What it looks like.
15:48What it feels like.
15:49What its concerns are.
15:51Education.
15:52The threat to the environment.
15:53Better opportunities for disadvantaged youth.
15:55Things I've been campaigning on for years.
15:57I'm afraid I did get rather carried away.
16:01He even dared bring up our great leader to her face.
16:05God.
16:06We all saw the unfortunate poll recently about Queen Victoria Syndrome.
16:11And how many people find the crown remote and out of touch.
16:16You claim to want to refresh the monarchy.
16:19Well what I'm proposing is precisely that.
16:21A new welfare monarchy.
16:23That's less about mystery and magic and divine right.
16:29And more about our practical role in today's society.
16:33That was a different Charles today.
16:37Separation from Diana has liberated him.
16:40Energized him.
16:42And what if being informed and in touch is what people want from their sovereign?
16:49Having controversial opinions and agitating politically is not what people want from their sovereign.
16:59I just think while we're setting up committees or task forces hoping to find ways forward.
17:07It might be useful to acknowledge that the solution we are looking for.
17:16Could be right under our noses.
17:24Could be right under our noses.
17:41Hey Lord.
17:43Yes?
17:48Yeah.
17:54Yep.
18:00Right.
18:00I'm sorry.
18:20What's that?
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:49Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it
18:57because of the potential damage it might do to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated
19:04the newspaper fields at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts
19:12to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:17How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults. No one else's business.
19:28Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
19:40which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:44Don't you remember the conversation?
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:03What do you think?
20:05I think it's brilliant.
20:07I think you could go further.
20:10Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal, the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:18Oh, I quite agree.
20:20I really might cry with the secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to
20:27leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:50Oh, God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:00Oh, that's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:13It's like that program, Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm all right.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is, I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:38I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:45Do you?
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately.
21:49Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just...
21:53live inside your trousers or something so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into?
21:58A pair of knickers?
22:00Oh, God forbid.
22:01A tampax of just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:08What a wonderful idea.
22:10My luck to get chucked down the lavatrians.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top, never going down.
22:17Darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:24What sort of box?
22:26A box of Tampax.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38No, I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Night night, my darling.
22:46I do love you.
22:48Love you too.
22:51Don't want to say goodbye.
22:53Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14My darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16Oh, God.
23:18So do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:22What are you doing?
23:27Night.
23:30Night of you.
23:33I adore you.

24:08Night.
24:14there's uproar in britain over the publication of the so-called camillagate tapes the phone call
24:19allegedly between prince charles and a close female friend was taped three years ago he will
24:23not come back from this the tapes are filthy it's raised doubts over whether the prince of wales
24:29could ever be king yet another royal scandal making headlines yet another bitter blow to a
24:34hurricane crisis sally hickman mbc news london
24:44here i bought you some weapons grade entirely chemical cold medication
24:52i know you're probably taking some sort of root herb garlic ginger and elderberry
24:59i thought i'd bring you something that actually works
25:06poor you
25:11some assassination
25:15complete decimation of my character and
25:19everything i've worked so hard for
25:22it's no secret i think over the years you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself
25:29but no one deserves this thank you
25:38it's hypocrisy that gets me
25:41as if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone
25:44said embarrassing things
25:47it was all a bit embarrassing wasn't it
25:51it was a little
25:53gynecological
25:53in my taste
25:57well
25:59also taking my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat
26:02oh god
26:02it was a surprising residue lift
26:07of being touched by
26:10two teenagers of a certain age being
26:13so gloriously human and
26:17entirely in love
26:23for that alone you deserve some credit
26:27in this family especially
26:30you are sweet
26:31i doubt our dear papa will see it that way
26:45all right
26:49i'll speak to you tomorrow
26:57if i weren't so ashamed i might confess of admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement
27:04in one fell swoop you've succeeded in alienating the church of your moral fitness
27:10the politicians over your conduct unbecoming
27:13the house of commons is in uproar
27:16they're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button
27:22among your many entirely unjustified military honors
27:27is colonel in chief of the royal regiment of wales
27:31i wonder if you might remind us of their motto
27:38in english
27:43better death than dishonor
27:44what's that speak up
27:45better death than dishonor
27:49a sentiment on which you would do well to reflect
28:01are you still here
28:20it's so painful
28:23and so public
28:27so unnecessary too
28:29everyone in hq is frightened my dear father included
28:33they don't know how the world has changed everyone's just blaming everyone else
28:38that's no excuse for gratuitous sadistic exhibitionism sounds like playground bullying
28:46the way the sycophants all nodded
28:50i'm grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once
28:56it leaves me no choice
29:02to protect yourself
29:06to look after yourself
29:14yes
29:23historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened because nothing official has
29:27happened but a change is happening so i ask if you look around you what do you see not old
29:33stuffy courtiers but young professional men and women of today
29:38the way ahead group or the lagging behind group as i like to call them
29:43was set up to prepare the monarchy for the coming millennium but it seems to me they hold some
29:47confusion as to which millennium we're actually in
29:50i think as a guiding principle if we're interested in saving the monarchy we should do the exact
29:54opposite of what the way head group recommends
29:57i think we all agree and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut a dangerous rut
30:02it's vital that people are given a reason to believe in and be excited about the future and
30:07if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is and the answer is
30:10is you sir
30:12but right now the problem is no one knows you they don't know who you really are or what you
30:16think
30:17or feel i quite agree
30:20well what should we do about that well one thought that we had was that um perhaps a mature progressive
30:29open television special would be a way to go where the prince of wales is finally given the
30:35opportunity to freely air his voice alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview we could
30:41grant cameras unprecedented access to a future king at work an intimate and authoritative profile
30:49of an enlightened thoughtful forward-thinking man who has been prince of wales for a quarter of a
30:55century and a chance for him to lay out his vision for a modern monarchy a modern britain
31:01who are you thinking of as the interviewer well there are a number of candidates but the the name
31:07we're most excited about is is jonathan dimbleby
31:12he's serious he's forthright he's independent-minded
31:19people will know that it's not puffery or chocolate box royalism with dimbleby
31:25there is an element of risk which is quite unusual he's bound to ask about the marriage at some point
31:33but in our view there's there's a far greater prospect of reward
31:44i'm just a little bit measured
31:48just we are set ready to go good right this is it thank you
31:53you're johnny how are you sir where do you want me
31:57i'm sitting here please please
32:00all right please
32:05five four three
32:09your royal highness it's it's fair to say that in recent years the royal family has been plagued by a
32:18certain amount of adversity do you think with all these setbacks to your family and to you personally
32:26that the monarchy can still survive
32:30well more than that i hope it can can flourish but to do so it needs to adapt
32:38it's no secret that i'm open to the idea of reform i think that we're at a make or break
32:45time for the
32:45monarchy and we need to be radical but of course there's only so much that i can do as prince
32:51of
32:51wales as king you will also find yourself at the head of an established church in the past
32:58you have shown an interest in other faiths how does that sit with a future role as supreme governor
33:04of the church of england defender of the faith of course i prefer to think of myself not as defender
33:11of
33:11just one faith the church of england but as defender of faith in general why should the
33:19church of england have a monopoly on the crown what about the jews and catholics and
33:24sikhs and muslims and hindus are they not its subjects as well there is of course one question
33:30above all that burns in the public's mind and that relates to your marriage to the princess of wales
33:38one of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were repeatedly unfaithful
33:43and that your close association with camilla parker bowls was a deciding factor in its collapse
33:50how do you answer that
33:55mrs wager bowls is a dear friend of mine a wonderful friend that i'm jolly lucky to have
34:04and even within a marriage one must still nurture outside friendships and mrs wager bowls is
34:13just one of a number of friends that i've been close to over the years
34:20when you married your wife you made a pledge before god to uphold your wedding vows did you at least
34:28try to be faithful from the start of course and were you yes
34:37until
34:38until it became obvious that uh
34:50the marriage couldn't be saved both of us having done our best
34:59at which point i
35:03tried to do my duty
35:07but there was uh
35:10there was nothing to be done
35:15so yes
35:20old friendships were rekindled
35:26you've been very forthright in your response very honest
35:31is it your hope that this issue will now go away
35:36well i'd certainly prefer it
35:40and difficulty stems i think from when
35:44when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal
35:49as husbands or as wives or as as parents
35:54and very often the truth is very far from that
35:57the question people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders
36:03do they want someone who errs but who learns from their mistakes who grows who
36:09who recognizes the need for change who has a vision
36:13or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes
36:20and to keep things as they are
36:25really i think that's the clear choice that uh that people are faced with
36:32this desire for progression extends to many aspects of your work as prince of wales
36:43prince charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed to
36:48showcase his work as prince of wales and he appeared to have no regrets as he greeted
36:53onlookers today during his first public appearance since the program aired
37:00his aides were letting it be known they've been delighted with the response to his controversial
37:05television profile palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support
37:11the program contained a number of intimate revelations including the prince's close friendship
37:16with mrs camilla parker bowls the admission divided viewers between those who felt it was a
37:21refreshing attempt to clear the air and those who felt the prince had made an error of judgment
37:27there was no comment from kensington palace but the princess of wales upstaged her husband
37:33by attending the serpentine gallery's annual summer party this evening putting on a defiant display in
37:39what many are already calling her revenge dress
37:51the prince and princess remain focused on their public roles but there is little doubt that the war
37:57of the waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase
38:14the ulysses
38:15the bank
38:16what do you say tonight
38:18Come on, come on!
38:48Reaction to the interview is divided between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king and
38:56should have had the good grace to stay silent, and those that have been pleasantly surprised by what they saw
39:07and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus, rather than
39:22defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies that are traditionally left unreached by the monarch.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician because the crown itself is a
39:41unifying symbol.
39:43It binds together a kingdom of four nations and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:52Charles is frustrated because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate, but there's a danger in that.
40:04One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:07One can end up.
40:35TARECTIVE
40:37surprised you do why it's delicious what's all this I hear about a book the
40:48ideas to a book following on from the interview taking some of the points
40:52further why because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say about
40:59education environment and architecture got drowned out by all the who are about
41:04adultery also people are interested maybe not as interested as you think maybe
41:13more interested than you think my post bag is anything to go by
41:26in the 18th century was considered perfectly normal for Prince of Wales to
41:29set-up shop at Leicester house to generate fresh ideas shadow monarchy lessons a
41:36rival court but this is not the 18th century and creating rival courts is not
41:43what we do in this family we close ranks behind the sovereign not to criticize her
41:52we're all after the same thing and
42:01you sure you want to have some of this asparagus it's fresh from the garden
42:22good night
42:25let's see come in
42:39for years I've doubted Charles
42:44he wasn't strong enough
42:49tough enough
42:52but look what he's just come through
42:55first that phone recording subsequent humiliation
42:59then that interview and subsequent criticism
43:03it hasn't broken him
43:05the opposite
43:07he might be as mad as everyone thinks
43:09but he's not as weak as everyone thinks
43:15Charles I saw today was strong
43:18confident
43:20mature
43:23not only does he have what it takes for the job
43:25in some ways he's already begun
43:28what do you mean?
43:30for the past year
43:31possibly more
43:34Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court
43:37at St. James's
43:40his own
43:42Camelot
43:43his own advisors
43:44his own
43:46modern
43:47progressive agenda
43:51he knows one day he will be King Charles III
43:55and if we want to know what that will look and feel like
44:00well he's starting to show us
44:18the whole point of the Prince's Trust
44:20is to equip young people like you
44:22with the skills
44:23and the confidence
44:25to fulfill your dreams and ambitions
44:30now you may think that someone of my age and background
44:33wouldn't understand young people in your communities
44:36and the unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face
44:42well as it happens I do understand a little bit about
44:47what it is to be criticized
44:49and judged
44:51and I also know
44:53that those judgments are mostly not true
44:57that people out there
44:59have no idea who I really am
45:04I'm sure that each of you
45:07has something within you
45:10an unacknowledged greatness
45:13a talent
45:14that deserves to be recognized
45:18and that's what the Prince's Trust is all about
45:21to give you the confidence to believe in your ideas
45:25and the money to bring them to fruition
45:30I want to reach those that have been overlooked
45:33rejected
45:35to make sure
45:36that you've been given a chance
45:40because it's only when we risk reaching too far
45:44that we find out how far
45:46it's possible to go
45:50thank you
46:14don't sweat the technique
46:20don't sweat the technique
46:33let's trace the hits
46:35and check the file
46:36let's see who fit the dot
46:37check the style
46:38I flip the script
46:39so they can't get filed
46:40at least not now
46:41it'll take a while
46:42I change the pace
46:44to complete the beat
46:45I drop the bass
46:46two MCs get weak
46:47but every row they trace
46:48is a scar they keep
46:49it's when I speak
46:50they freak to sweat the technique
46:52I made my debut in 86
46:55with a melody in a president's mix
46:57and I would stay on target
46:58and reduce the mess
47:00and I still make hits for beats
47:02parties, clubs, instantars, and jeeps
47:04my underground sound
47:05I race the streets
47:06MCs want to beef
47:07then I play for keeps
47:08when they sweat the technique
47:18don't sweat the technique
47:28they want to know
47:29how many times
47:30have I ripped the wreck
47:30but researchers
47:31never found all the pieces yet
47:33scientists
47:34try to solve the context
47:35philosophers
47:36are wondering
47:37what's next
47:37pieces
47:38took their lives
47:39to observe them
47:40they couldn't absorb them
47:41they didn't deserve them
47:42my ideas
47:43are only
47:43for the audience
47:44ears
47:45my opponents
47:45it might take years
47:47pencils, pens, and swords
47:48letters put together
47:49from a key to cards
47:50I'm also a sculpture
47:52born with structure
47:53because of my culture
47:54I'm a ripped destructor
47:55I'm styled out a beat
47:57full of technology
47:58complete
47:58sights and new heights
47:59after I get deep
48:00you don't have to speak
48:02just seek
48:03and peep the technique
48:18I'm styled out a beat
