Transcript
00:28You
00:34Bob Hawke, if you win the election next week, which all the polls predict, one of your first public acts
00:42as Prime Minister will be to welcome Prince Charles and the Princess of Wales and young Prince William.
00:47Does that prospect fill you with enthusiasm?
00:51I don't regard it as the most important thing I'm going to have to do in the first month in
00:56office.
00:59But yes, they are coming. I've had the opportunity of meeting Charles on a number of occasions. I find him
01:07a nice young bloke.
01:11Is he the sort of man you'd like to be the King of Australia?
01:14Look, I don't think we'll be talking about kings or monarchy here in Australia much longer. You know, we're past
01:21that now, aren't we? We're a bit more mature.
01:24You know my position on this. It's no secret. I respect and admire the Queen enormously.
01:33The desire is simply to have a head of state that embodies and represents Australia's values and traditions.
01:41A head of state that looks like us, sounds like us, thinks like us.
01:47As opposed to?
01:48Well, one of them, a POM.
01:51You know, an unelected non-Australian who lives on the other side of the world and for all their good
01:57intentions is a different breed.
02:00You wouldn't put a pig in charge of a herd of prime beef cattle.
02:04Even if it did look good in a Twinset and Portage.
02:11Your Majesty, the results of the Australian general election.
02:17Oh, good news or bad?
02:19Mr Hawke by a landslide.
02:21Oh dear, the one who wants us out.
02:22Prayed so.
02:23The rough, tough former trade union negotiator and the proud holder of the world record for beer drinking.
02:28A yard of ale in a sconce pot in 11 seconds.
02:30Oh, I don't know what that is. Sounds very impressive.
02:33Well, it's a lot of beer. Very quickly. Tea total now, I believe, ma'am.
02:37A great relief to everyone, I should imagine.
02:39Especially Mrs Hawke. Is there a Mrs Hawke?
02:42Yes, there is. Hazel.
02:43Ah, Hazel. Stranger, I think, to name a child after a tree.
02:46Especially a Northern Hemisphere tree.
02:49I suppose it does put the pressure on them, rather.
02:52On who, ma'am?
02:54The Prince and Princess of Wales and their forthcoming tour.
02:58Do you think they'll be all right?
02:59In fact, I know one shouldn't listen to gossip, but I had lunch with Princess Margaret the other day.
03:04There's growing concern among those who chatter at Kensington Palace.
03:08You thought we didn't listen to chatter?
03:09I listened to nothing else.
03:12About the Princess of Wales.
03:16She's struggling to cope, apparently.
03:20Wretched in the marriage.
03:24And, if rumours are to be believed, she's, uh, doing things to herself.
03:30What kind of things?
03:39People do the strangest things when they're unhappy.
03:48I heard she was insisting on taking the baby with them on the tour.
03:50What for?
03:52As a stabilising influence.
03:53Since when has a baby ever been a stabilising influence on anything?
03:58We never took the children anywhere.
04:01When we went to Australia in 1954, we left them at home for five months.
04:06And you suppose that might have had consequences?
04:09On what?
04:10The tour was a triumph.
04:17I should probably ask Charles and Diana to come and see me.
04:20This tour is too important.
04:50MUSIC CONTINUES
05:19MUSIC CONTINUES
05:48MUSIC CONTINUES
05:51Does anyone know the story of the Russian bear hunter?
05:55I'm afraid I've already told Mrs. Parker Bowles.
05:57Perhaps she could help me tell it.
05:59All right, sir.
06:04The bear hunter goes deep into the Siberian woods.
06:07Suddenly, he sees...
06:08An enormous bear.
06:10The hunter raises his gun and bang, he shoots.
06:15The bear disappears from view.
06:17Got him, he thinks.
06:19But then he feels a tap on the shoulder.
06:21He looks up to see the bear who says...
06:23No one takes a shot at me and gets away with it.
06:26Your choice.
06:28Either I can tear you to pieces and devour you now, or...
06:31Or, you can drop your trousers, bend over and let me have my way with you.
06:40The hunter pulls down his trousers and the bear does his worst.
06:45Afterwards, the hunter hobbles into town.
06:48Somewhat bow-legged.
06:50Yes.
06:51And he buys a much bigger gun and goes back into the woods.
06:54And it isn't long before he sees the bear again.
06:56He raises his gun.
06:58Bang!
06:59Farts.
07:00But when the smoke clears...
07:02The bear is nowhere to be seen.
07:05Caught him, the hunter thinks.
07:07But a moment later, he feels another tap on the shoulder.
07:10And the bear says...
07:12You know what to do.
07:15Now, after the bear's done his worst,
07:18the hunter heads back in town again and buys an even bigger gun.
07:21A bazooka?
07:21Yes.
07:22He goes back into the woods.
07:23He sees the bear.
07:24He takes aim and fires.
07:25Boom!
07:27But when the smoke clears,
07:30the hunter looks up to see the bear standing over him.
07:33And the bear says...
07:37You're not really in this for the hunting, are you?
07:39LAUGHTER
07:49I wanted to wish you both luck
07:50and asked Sir Sonny to join us today
07:53to stress again the importance of the trip.
07:55Thank you, ma'am.
07:57As you know, Australia is one of the most important
08:00and influential members of the Commonwealth.
08:03If they were to strike out and assert their independence,
08:07the worry is other countries could fall like dominoes.
08:10You're too young to remember,
08:11but we also toured Australia and New Zealand in 1954.
08:15Yes.
08:16It was long and hot and arduous.
08:19Yes.
08:20But we worked together.
08:22As a team.
08:23And in the end, I think,
08:26it wasn't only a success politically.
08:29It...
08:30It brought us very close.
08:33Yes.
08:35And as husband and wife,
08:38we would wish the same for you.
08:40Mm-hmm.
08:49It's all right.
08:49It's all right.
08:49Mummy's here.
08:50It's you, babe.
08:51We've got the door.
08:52It's all right.
08:54It's all right.
08:55It'll be all right once we get to the baby.
09:05Then on to Ayers Rock on the 23rd.
09:08Uh, Sydney on the 28th.
09:11Before, uh, Brisbane, Tasmania,
09:14and Canberra for an audience with the Prime Minister
09:16and his wife.
09:17Then the tour moves to New Zealand.
09:19There's an awful lot of moving around.
09:21A baby needs stability.
09:23And, perhaps, for that reason,
09:26the baby was never intended to be part of the trip.
09:28I always made it perfectly clear.
09:30No baby, no me.
09:31And everyone accepted that,
09:32and as I understand,
09:33has worked very hard to change plans
09:35that were set in stone.
09:37And now, instead of being separated for six weeks,
09:40it's just, uh...
09:42How long?
09:43The first two weeks.
09:44What?
09:46When the tour is at its most arduous.
09:48Well, where will William be then?
09:50Wumagama.
09:51Where?
09:51It's a sheep station in New South Wales.
09:54Whose idea was this?
09:56Mine, ma'am.
09:57Do you have children?
09:59No, ma'am.
10:00Why does that not come as a surprise?
10:02Diana!
10:03Come with me.
10:04Ma'am?
10:05Please.
10:13What do you see?
10:16Miss Royal Highness Prince William.
10:18That's a title.
10:19You can't see a title.
10:21Very well.
10:22I see a baby boy.
10:24Asleep or awake?
10:26Awake.
10:27Loud or quiet?
10:28Quiet.
10:30Angry or calm?
10:31Calm.
10:32Ugly or beautiful?
10:34It's just a question, Mr. Adee.
10:35Nothing to be frightened of.
10:37Is the child ugly?
10:39No.
10:39Then can we agree that this child is the opposite of ugly?
10:42Can we say he's a beautiful child?
10:44I'm busy, ma'am.
10:45What is your point?
10:46My point is that this child is not just beautiful.
10:49This child is perfect in every single way.
10:52So why should you expect me, as his mother, to be without him for one second, let alone two weeks?
10:57Because you married the Prince of Wales, ma'am.
11:00And that is an act of service to the Crown and to the country which you signed up to willingly
11:04and with open eyes.
11:05And you are the Princess of Wales.
11:08And the greatest act of service that I can give to the Crown as Princess is not to be some
11:14meat little wife following the great prince around like some smiling doll,
11:17but to be a living, breathing, present mother, bringing up this child in the hopes that the boy that will
11:22one day become king still has a vestige of humanity in him.
11:26Because God knows he's not going to be getting it from any of his courtiers.
11:35Mummy's here.
11:36Yeah.
11:46New Zealand.
11:47Yes.
11:48New Zealand.
11:52Welcome to Alice Springs.
11:53More than a much lighter.
11:55A wish.
11:55Hello there.
11:56Sounds up.
11:56Charles, let me know.
12:01I don't know what you're doing, you've got it.
12:17Dianne, come on.
12:18You have to do it.
12:38I understand before we arrived, you received about a month's worth of rain in a week.
12:44Of course, in Britain, you'd call that summer.
12:50Seriously, my wife and I, we couldn't be more delighted to be here.
12:56Question for the princess. What part of the tour are you most looking forward to?
13:00Oh, gosh.
13:03There's so many.
13:05We're going to a glamorous ball in Sydney.
13:12And, um...
13:16We're going to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney.
13:19I think we're going on a pleasure cruise on some river.
13:26Um...
13:26And then we're going to...
13:27We're going to visit Ayers Dock.
13:31Rock.
13:32Ayers...
13:32Ayers Rock.
13:37Hey, what about the cost of the trip at a time when Australia is experiencing extreme weather?
13:43You know, and the...
13:43The money could be spent on the victims.
13:45I'm afraid that's not really my department.
13:48She's good with glamorous balls.
13:51As Rock or As Dock...
13:54Apparently, there are protests planned for their visit to Canberra.
13:58A growing backlash about the expense of the trip.
14:01...will take place along the Dermot River in Tasmania.
14:04But before that...
14:04Maybe now's the moment.
14:101788, the first fleet landed at Sydney Cove.
14:13Two long centuries of subjugation by Mother Crown.
14:17And we are still unable to cut the apron strings and stand on our own two feet.
14:23Why?
14:24Because there has never been the tipping point.
14:28Where we finally say...
14:30Enough.
14:34But, uh...
14:35Five will get to ten.
14:36It'll be this jug-eared bonehead that pushes us all over the edge.
14:42And Australia gets to be free.
14:45Once and for all.
14:48That's all for now.
14:49Thank you all very much.
15:03An hospitable Perth.
15:05Fresh, alert, scrubbed by the sun.
15:07City of Australia's tomorrow.
15:12Into Queensland.
15:14Name for another great queen four generations back.
15:32What's this?
15:33Australia.
15:341954.
15:35I wanted to remind myself.
15:39One of your greatest hits.
15:40Yes, I think so.
15:43How hot it was. Do you remember?
15:45Yes, one could hardly sleep at night.
15:48No.
15:53Look at the size of those crowds.
15:57Head of the Commonwealth, defender of the faith.
16:06Sydney, over a million people turned out.
16:08To see their beautiful new queen.
16:10Now she's old and dumpy. They want to get rid of her.
16:13Not old and dumpy. Experienced and mature.
16:18Which is why you should have gone yourself,
16:20instead of sending out the BT.
16:23This was always designed to be Charles' tour.
16:26As Prince of Wales, he has to start sometime.
16:28Then send him to the Bahamas or Seychelles,
16:30not Australia and New Zealand.
16:33Some countries are too important to send out the understanding.
16:37Symbol of the unity of crown and people.
16:42And the nation waits.
16:52They're all hanging over here.
16:53Towards the cameras, please.
16:55Diana.
16:56Maybe get in closer together if possible.
16:57Diana, over this way.
16:58That's great. Thank you.
17:00Can you do some big smiles, please?
17:02Can we get some waves for the Australians?
17:05Diana.
17:06Your Royal Highness, this way.
17:07We're heading up to the top today.
17:20Charles.
17:24Charles.
17:25I can't.
17:27The heat.
17:28I feel dizzy.
17:33I think I need to go and sit down.
17:36Can't you pull yourself together?
17:37What up?
17:39What up?
17:39Feeling all right, Diana?
17:40Princess.
17:41You all right, princess?
17:43At this point, the princess seemed to struggle.
17:45The English rose, wilting in the heat, perhaps.
17:48It's pathetic.
17:50She's pathetic.
17:52It's so critical that you get this tour absolutely right.
17:57And yet, she's so weak and fragile.
18:01One can't rely on her for the simplest thing.
18:05Letting the side down wherever she goes.
18:08How would I get through the next six weeks without you?
18:11By ringing me every day.
18:14Letting me cheer you up.
18:16You're going to be brilliant.
18:19Oh, God, I miss you, my darling.
18:21Your adulthood.
18:23If Diana had one ounce of the strength of character
18:25that you seemed to display at every turn,
18:27then perhaps we could rescue her.
18:30God, now what?
18:32Do you understand?
18:33It never ends.
18:35I'll call you back.
18:37We have to reorganize police, schools, couriers, military, security...
18:41I don't care.
18:41I don't care about any of that.
18:44It's intolerable.
18:45What's intolerable?
18:46Well, I don't expect you to understand.
18:47I just need him to let me go.
18:49Wherever it is, they've taken my son.
18:51Oh, Magma, it's on the other side of the country.
18:53I explained to her, Royal Highness.
18:55We are just five days into a very important tour,
18:57which has been years in the planning.
18:59We can't just change things around willy-nilly.
19:01And I told him...
19:02Yes, and me.
19:02...that if people expect me to continue with this tour for another minute,
19:05then I need to see my son first.
19:09Our son.
19:12We can't do it.
19:14Oh, my God.
19:44Oh, my goodness.
19:48William? William!
19:51William. William.
19:53Thank you so much. Has he been all right?
19:55He's been home.
19:56Hi, darling. Hello.
19:58How are you? Yes.
20:02Oh, I missed you so much.
20:05Yes.
20:07Hi, Kenny. Kenny.
20:11Want to go to Daddy?
20:12Who? It's William.
20:13He's out of here.
20:14Brown somewhere.
20:15Who does he look like?
20:17He's all his favourite toys.
20:19Is he more Spencer or Windsor?
20:21William!
20:25Oh, that's lovely.
20:27In it is.
20:28I'm a performer.
20:29How about his spares?
20:31I'm today.
20:34It's doing quite well.
20:38There you are.
20:40Close your eyes.
20:41Come on.
20:42Come on,
20:42Wow.
20:42Oh
21:10Gun down
21:12yes finally exhausted after his performance the star crashing and bashing into everything
21:21the basher mini tornado will you eat they made somewhat unimaginatively for sheep station
21:33shepherd's pie
21:37i'm not hungry
21:59what
21:59i wanted to talk to you i've had some thoughts
22:06about
22:07advice us
22:11i have some things i'd like to discuss too would you like to go first
22:16we'd make a nice change what does that mean it means you always go first you're not poppycock
22:21you're the prince of wales you're born to go first
22:28are you even remotely aware of how bad things have got for me
22:33i'm not blind i can see how unhappy you are how thin you've become
22:44trust me you don't know the half of it i know more than you think
22:50and people talk the staff and i was very saddened
22:59horrified by what i learned
23:03so what do you want from me
23:13i don't think you have the faintest idea of what it's like to feel this way
23:31to be constantly overlooked ignored unappreciated
23:35i know what being overlooked feels like better than anyone i spent my whole life being unthanked
23:42unappreciated uncared for and if i've been cold or distant with you perhaps because i don't feel truly understood by
23:49you
23:50i sometimes think you see me as an old man
23:54or worse a gargoyle above the church door
23:58grey made of stone
24:02unemotional but i'm not
24:05you think i don't crave the occasional
24:08well done or aren't you clever
24:11or even just a thank you
24:15i need encouragement and the occasional pat on the back too
24:20well does that explain why you keep going to her
24:24i'm not going to say her name
24:26i'm worried if i do i might spit
24:28camilla what's she got to do
24:30well that's what i keep asking myself
24:33what's she got to do with anything
24:34but obviously she's got a lot to do with everything
24:37because you can't leave her alone
24:39she and her husband are close friends
24:40not just of mine but the whole family's
24:42you remember i found your bracelet
24:44the one with your nicknames engraved on it
24:45fred and gladys
24:47it was just harmless fun
24:48three days before our wedding you gave that to her
24:51and on our actual honeymoon
24:52you wore the cufflinks that she gave you
24:54with the interlocking initials the two c's
24:57interwoven and obscenely entwined like lovers
25:01and on the same honeymoon a photograph of her
25:03falls out of your diary
25:05and then later in the year i find your love letters
25:07page after page of the passion i'm not getting from you
25:10because you show no interest in me
25:13you refuse to come to highgrove where i'm happiest
25:15yes because she is there
25:17oh and not just her but the gardens and the polo and the hunts
25:20and the boring old philosophers and father substitutes
25:23who patronize me and ignore me but love her presumably
25:28which is why the two of you are perfect for each other
25:30so where do i fit in
25:32you fit in because you're my wife
25:35and
25:39because i love you
25:50i
25:52i did
25:54i do
25:58gosh
26:06so
26:09how are we going to solve it
26:13well
26:15well i suppose
26:17i suppose we've got to learn
26:19to give it to each other on a more regular basis
26:24the encouragement i mean
26:26and the other thing
26:27oh yes that too
26:29i still think you're gorgeous
26:33cleverest handsomest man in every room
26:34do you really
26:38pathetic
26:38but i do need that sometimes
26:41and
26:42you look gorgeous too
26:43your
26:45beauty
26:45your radiance

26:48shining

26:52when they look at you
26:53it makes me realize
26:54i'm the luckiest man in the world
26:56and we're the luckiest family in the world
26:59it makes me want to ring the queen back in london and say
27:02can you hear that mummy
27:03listen to that
27:04it's a hundred decibels louder than anything you ever got
27:06chew on that
27:07choke on that
27:11you know i think this might be the most important conversation we've ever had
27:16yes
27:16and the solution is so simple
27:19anytime either of us feels like we're not getting what we need
27:22we simply need to give that very thing to the other
27:26because if you learn anything from today
27:28we both need the same as each other
27:31to be encouraged
27:34to be supported
27:37to be appreciated
27:41to be loved
27:44yes
27:47a toast
27:48to a first start
27:49a new beginning
27:52happy easter my darling
28:01happy easter my darling
28:32The first leg of the world tour has come to an end.
28:34The Prince and Princess have seen a fair slice of the Northern Territory.
28:38The royal couple have urged 2,000.
28:40The well-wishers were there to greet them.
28:41But the more formal welcome came to the Governor General and the Prime Minister.
28:47We're absolutely delighted to be here. Thank you, sir.
28:49Hours before they were due to arrive in the city,
28:52tens of thousands of people began lining the streets from the airport.
28:55By now, the pace was really beginning to pick up, and so too was the public's reaction.
29:00More than 5,500 people cued patiently to take up the best possible position around the ropes...
29:06Here, the reception of the royal couple were getting...
29:10There was a frenzy of waving hands and flags as the Prince and Princess appeared,
29:14holding hands in the back of their royal choice.
29:15The crowds were desperate to get a glimpse of the perfect couple, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
29:25Even overseas reporters who've seen it all before seemed a little taken aback by the sheer scale.
29:31You're exciting.
29:32Hello.
29:36Please welcome the heir to the throne and Australia's future king,
29:41His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales.
29:51Thank you, Sir Jim.
29:53In case you've been living in a cave, perhaps I should introduce you to a most remarkable woman,
29:59and mother, who I am proud to call her wife.
30:25No wonder it's too good to be true.
30:30Can't take my eyes off the view.
30:32But I love you.
30:33You'd be like heaven to touch
30:36I want to hold you so much
30:41Ever unless love has arrived
30:45And I thank God I'm alive
30:49You're just too good to be true
30:53You take my eyes and you
30:56That's what you give me a show as hell
30:58Yeah, I know
31:14I love you, baby
31:17And if it's quite alright
31:19I need you, baby
31:21To warm and lonely night
31:23I love you, baby
31:25Rest in me when I say
31:30Oh, pretty, baby
31:32Don't bring me down, I pray
31:35Oh, pretty, baby

32:47thank you edward
32:48you had fun together at the ball
32:52we did i could have danced all night
32:55so has that been the highlight
32:57well that's hard to say
32:58um we greatly enjoyed seeing sydney harbour
33:02and charles tried body surfing on bondi beach
33:05but um i suppose the greatest highlight has been
33:09well um well meeting all of you
33:13the people of australia
33:14you've made us feel so welcome so at home
33:17well perhaps because you've been so refreshing
33:21you're not what we expect from royalty
33:23well that's because i don't think of myself as royalty
33:26you know first and foremost i'm a wife and a mother
33:30that's what's most important to me
33:32she really is a wonderful mother and how's william
33:37getting along he's having a magical time there so he likes australia
33:40well let's put it like this his favorite cuddly toy used to be a whale
33:44since coming here it's been firmly supplanted by a koala
33:4810 000 people were waiting to catch sight of the prince and princess
33:52along the way the princess was overwhelmed with posies and small gifts from equally small children
33:57no he's very busy at the moment and cannot comment
34:00his support will not be answering any questions about this at present
34:18i don't know
34:41Oh
35:10Oh
35:34Oh
36:21There's a problem no one foresaw
36:24Huge crowds wherever they go
36:26Some even bigger I'm told
36:28Than those you got back in the 18th century
36:30Or whenever you went
36:311954
36:33And I very much doubt it
36:34Along with raves in all the newspapers
36:36For Diana's beauty
36:38And charm
36:40And most of all her motherhood
36:43I heard she'd been hysterical
36:45Clinging to the poor baby
36:47Like a life raft
36:48Evidently that clinging is what the Australians have responded to
36:51What a natural mother she is
36:54How physical
36:56And caring
36:58Anyway why is all this a problem?
37:00You and I both know how much Charles Craves
37:01Reassurance
37:02And attention
37:03And praise
37:05This tour of Australia and New Zealand
37:08Was supposed to be his grand debut
37:09His moment in the sun
37:11His future king
37:15Just saying
37:16Welcome and welcome
37:16But there was little doubt
37:18Who most people really wanted to see
37:20Hello
37:21Thank you
37:22Hello
37:22Hello
37:23Thank you for coming
37:24Thank you
37:25Hello
37:26Where's Princess Di?
37:28She's busy working on my friend
37:29She's having to put up with me
37:33We only need a day to see
37:35Lady Di
37:35Are you going in for a swim map?
37:39Don't think so
37:41Which one do you fancy giving you the kiss of life?
37:43Let's hope it doesn't come to that
37:46How about it boys?
37:47Any volunteers?
37:49I think you've got some admirers
37:50Can we get you guys all closer?
37:52No worries
37:52Just remember
37:53No touching
37:54No looking
37:55To me or them
37:59That was picked up nicely there by his royal house
38:01And off it goes
38:02Number five is in there
38:04Trying to cut him off
38:07Prince Charles here
38:08Prince of Wales
38:09He's playing on a borrowed pony
38:10Called Apollo
38:13A strong hit from number two there
38:15And here comes Prince Charles
38:17Swooping from his position at the back
38:19He's catching
38:19Everybody ready?
38:22Get set
38:23Go
38:38Who's playing?
38:41Are you a real princess?
38:43What do you put me in five hours?
38:46That works
38:46As they move from Queensland to Tasmania
38:50The royal tour is going from strength to strength
38:53And whilst it's been a great personal victory for Prince Charles
38:57No one can deny
38:59It's the princess of Wales
39:01Who's truly captured the heart of a nation
39:04Well she's not stuffy like the rest of the world
39:07Right
39:07You get a sense of her being a real person?
39:10Yes
39:10You've got to love her haven't you?
39:12Do you love Charles as much as you love Donald?
39:14Yeah
39:14She loves him
39:15He must have something wasn't he?
39:17She's so
39:17And what do you think of the princess?
39:19She's amazing
39:20She's just like her
39:21Is she?
39:22Do you think you can have a cup of tea with her or something?
39:25Absolutely
39:25She's really down to her that side
39:35She's amazing
40:00It's a great pleasure to be able to come to Tasmania
40:02to receive such an enthusiastic
40:05and heartwarming welcome.
40:07The last time I was here was two years ago, 1981,
40:11shortly before we were married.
40:13At that time, everybody was saying,
40:16good luck and hope everything goes well
40:19and how lucky you are to be engaged as such a lovely lady.
40:24And my goodness, I am lucky enough to be married to her.
40:36That's the thing about ladies, you never quite know what they get up to when your back's turned.
40:44It's the final straw, honestly. Pulling faces, horsing around while I'm trying to do my job.
40:49I was blushing, blushing at your compliments.
40:51People were laughing at me, laughing in my face at the end of a week in which half of Australia
40:55has also been booing me.
40:57I don't deserve this. This was supposed to be my tour.
41:01My tour as Prince of Wales to shore up one of the key countries in the Commonwealth at a very
41:05delicate moment politically.
41:07And thanks to you.
41:07Thanks to me, people have shown up. Thanks to me, people are interested.
41:11No, thanks to you, people are laughing in my face.
41:14Booing the heir to the throne. Booing the crown.
41:17Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, don't do this.
41:22Please. Open the door.
41:27Charles.
41:30We still have ten days in New Zealand to get through.
41:50Ah, welcome, Your Royal Highness.
41:52Prime Minister.
41:53Given our, uh, different perspectives, our different views on the, uh, appropriate governance of this nation,
42:00I never thought I'd find myself commiserating with you, but, uh, let's face it, she's made us both look like
42:07chumps.
42:09I don't understand.
42:14Pera Nullius.
42:17That's what your ancestor, King George III, called us when the Brits first arrived.
42:25Nobody's country.
42:28Well, by God, we were somebody's country then.
42:33And, uh, we're our own country now.
42:37When you arrived, I thought you visit might inspire Australia to finally throw off the shackles and stand on our
42:47own two feet.
42:48And, uh, no offence, but, uh, if it had just been you, you know, I might have got my wishes.
42:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
42:58But then, you know, she comes along.
43:03The, the perfect wife, the perfect princess, and the whole place goes nuts.
43:11The power of fairy tales.
43:17that superstar may have just set back the cause of republicanism in Australia for the foreseeable future
43:54I don't know how to do it
45:15Kensington Palace.
45:35It's the Princess of Wales.
45:37I was hoping the Queen might see me.
46:29Welcome back.
46:30Thank you, Mama.
46:32You said I should always call you that?
46:34Of course.
46:39Please.
46:40Thank you, Nigel.
46:48I've come because I don't know who to turn to anymore.
46:53I'm struggling.
46:55Struggling?
46:57I do.
46:57You've just had a triumph.
46:59I don't consider it a triumph if at the end of it my husband and I are wretchedly unhappy.
47:05Look at these pictures of you both everywhere.
47:07Are you really telling me that's unhappiness?
47:11Well, not in that moment.
47:12No.
47:13In that moment it's perfect happiness.
47:17But then behind closed doors it's a different story.
47:19He resents me, resents the attention I get.
47:24And why is that?
47:26I don't know.
47:29I was hoping you could tell me he's your son.
47:32Because I've been a terrible mother.
47:34Is that what you've come here to tell me?
47:35No.
47:36Or the Duke of Edinburgh, a terrible father.
47:37Of course not.
47:38I struggle to understand Charles sometimes too.
47:40I think that's no secret.
47:42But us sitting here sticking knives into him isn't helpful either.
47:46And is it also possible that there is a part of you that is enjoying your own success rather too
47:50much?
47:52What is too much?
47:54A smile?
47:55A moment's happiness?
47:56Overstepping the mark is too much.
47:59I think we do all know when we've played to the gallery excessively.
48:03We know.
48:06All right.
48:08Yes.
48:10It does feel good sometimes to be cheered.
48:13It can be a comfort.
48:16Because since I've joined this family it's not been easy.
48:19I've been given no help, no support, just thrown in the deep end.
48:22And I think that people out there can sense that I've suffered.
48:25That I'm undervalued, ignored.
48:27I think it's a mistake to assume that people are feeling any sympathy for us at all.
48:30And I think it's a mistake to assume they don't.
48:35You've seen how the crowd responded to me in Australia.
48:38Here too.
48:39And instead of resenting me for it.
48:41I assure you no one resents you.
48:42Charles resents me.
48:45Anne resents me.
48:46And is it possible that you resent me too?
48:47All I want is to play for the team.
48:51You're the princess of Wales, so of course you're part of the team.
48:54Then show me.
48:56This whole thing, it starts and stops with you.
49:00You're the captain of the team.
49:01If you show me love, approval and acceptance, everyone else will follow.
49:07I think we've gone as far as we can for now.
49:10We can continue another time.
49:11Don't dismiss me, please.
49:13Don't push me away.
49:15What?
49:15Mama?
49:16Mama?
49:33That's all I want.
49:38It's all any of us want from you.
49:41Is it too much to ask?
49:59A hug.
50:01A hug.
50:01Yes.
50:02What kind of hug?
50:04A tight, rather desperate hug.
50:07I feel sick.
50:08Yes.
50:11But is it possible that she has a point?
50:15We are rather a tough bunch in this family.
50:18We don't give out much praise or love or thanks.
50:22Perhaps someone like Diana is best placed to...
50:24Hug everyone else too.
50:26To connect with the modern world.
50:29And isn't that how the crown survives?
50:32And stays relevant by changing with the times.
50:36Diana.
50:38Kate.
50:38Is an immature little girl.
50:40Who, in time,
50:42Will give up her struggles.
50:43Give up her fight.
50:45And bend.
50:46As Philip did.
50:48As they all do.
50:49And when she bends,
50:52She will fit.
50:53And if she doesn't bend,
50:55What then?
50:56She will break.
50:59I don't know.
51:47I don't know.
51:57I don't know.
51:59I don't know.
52:12I don't know.
52:25I don't know.
52:26I don't know.
52:29I don't know.
52:38I don't know.
52:58I don't know.
53:35I don't know.
53:52I don't know.
53:54I don't know.
53:54I don't know.
54:05I don't know.
54:22I don't know.
54:22I don't know.
54:23I don't know.
54:24I don't know.
54:28You
