Transcript
00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:23Terry and Dan Stafford...
04:25Go on!
04:25Go on!
04:27Go on!
04:28Go!
04:29Whether that's gonna happen.
04:36Bye!
04:38Wow, Sam!
04:46I had a call from the Sunday Times today, sir,
04:49regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy,
04:52and it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen, again and again,
04:56the same words came up.
04:58Irrelevant, old, expensive, out of touch.
05:02Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir.
05:04Really?
05:06Should I cover my ears?
05:08No, on the contrary.
05:08They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic.
05:15And when asked, almost half believe you would make an excellent king
05:18and would support an early application by the Queen in your favour.
05:25And this story is running when?
05:28Sunday week, sir.
05:30When I'll be in Italy with the family.
05:32Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal.
05:35As you know, a big part of your appeal as future king
05:38is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen.
05:41Yes.
05:42So we've taken the liberty of briefing one or two friendly newspapers
05:45that it's a second honeymoon.
05:51Right.
06:08That's what they said.
06:10Those are the words they used.
06:12Second honeymoon.
06:13Third honeymoon.
06:16Who's the next?
06:35Who's the next?

11:25beaches along the way and water sports and noisy water sports and shopping
11:37shopping it's possible some people might like to go shopping one day
11:40who show of hands would anyone apart from diana like to go shopping
11:47and the entire point of being on a beautiful yacht like this is that
11:51you can escape from hordes of people indulging in retailers recreation

13:34there it is again
13:35right i'm off
13:38one last day cutting ribbons in morecam
13:40then feet up for the summer
13:56as patron of the church urban fund
13:59i am aware of the vast challenges faced by this community and many others across the diocese
14:08the milk marketing board is among the most enduring and resilient of britain's commercial enterprises
14:15this state-of-the-art dairy complex is testament to the continuing vitality of british others
14:26it has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers
14:31representing a great 30 percent of the european freight market
14:36it is clear that intermodal containers are lancashire's ticket to a bright future
15:05how long has the pressure been down on that ground
15:21it shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart she's a creature of another age
15:28effectively a world war ii cruiser with soft furnishings
15:32in many ways she's obsolete
15:34don't say that
15:36what are the options
15:37well we've trouble with the main engine
15:39stubborn boilers out of service
15:43sentimentally i think we'd all prefer to stick with her
15:47i should say
15:48but we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best
15:54are you seeing the prime minister in balmoral next week
15:58yes he's coming with his wife dora
16:00no that's not right
16:03nora
16:05norma
16:05well you might want to bring it up with him then
16:08i'll talk to the admiral and come up with some figures
16:12but it's the first time i've started to consider the unthinkable
16:15what's that
16:16a replacement
16:20built in ad 27 by
16:25tiberius
16:26wow
16:27the most magnificent of world imperial residences here in capri
16:34some people say that tiberius escaped to capri
16:37because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court in rome
16:41not something i could ever understand
16:44but after a long successful career
17:07it's an extraordinary
17:09two people's understanding of fun
17:10could be so wholly different
17:20when they suggested to us
17:23diana and i that
17:25we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon
17:31i said to them you obviously weren't at the first one
17:34on britannia wasn't it
17:36yes
17:36i know the queen thinks the royal yacht is perfect in every way but as a
17:41an intimate space for newlyweds
17:43it's like a floating observation tank
17:47every
17:49awkward silence
17:52stilted conversation between bride and glue
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200 crew
18:17the irony is i'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy
18:21it seems to lift the rest of the world up
18:26when we're together in public
18:28i can't deny it is magical
18:30the perfect team
18:33yet in private
18:39listen to me
18:41after everything you've been through with your girl
18:47she let me comb her hair last week
18:50first time since it's grown back

22:49when you find it i'll be on deck
23:06well to say the article has had an impact
23:08would be an understatement
23:10it's provoked significant debate
23:12on radio and television
23:13with one particular phrase
23:15getting most attention
23:16queen victoria syndrome
23:18yes i saw that
23:23an aging monarch
23:25too long on the throne
23:26whose remoteness from the modern world
23:28has led people to grow
23:29tired not just of her
23:31but of the monarchy itself
23:36any reaction from the queen
23:38my understanding is she hasn't seen it
23:40that they've kept it from her
23:42to protect her feelings
23:45doesn't that tell you everything
23:51i'd like you to arrange a meeting
23:53with the prime minister
23:54as soon as we're back
23:56you'll think of her suitable pretext
24:06look it's a whale
24:08where
24:11oh good spot
24:15no look at the way it's surfacing
24:17it's a minky
24:18probably smell it before we see it again
24:20if we get any closer
24:22their blue smells of rotten cabbages
24:24a stinky minky
24:33oh there she is
24:36bladder
24:38there
24:42oh yes
24:44like a bulrush out of a pond
24:47isn't she a beauty
24:49you say so dear
24:53it's one of the last manned lighthouses in scotland
24:58why don't we pay her a visit
24:59really
25:00must we
25:00come on
25:01a bit of exercise is good for the figure
25:03at our age the weight does not stay off by itself
25:06come on
25:07no
25:08no
25:17no
25:18no
25:19no
25:20no
25:21no
25:21no
25:38People wonder why I find lighthouses so inspiring when you get to a place like this.
25:55New inquiry? Tim? No, he's been with us for a while.
26:02What come I never noticed? Because you're married.
26:09Very technically. What's he like? Reliable, sensible, agreeable.
26:18Hmm. I think we ought to get back to lighthouses.
26:25Those beacons of light in an otherwise black and hopeless night that reassure the lonely mariner they are not forgotten.
26:34And we'll soon find land and home and hope.
26:48I really can't.
26:54May I? I'm all right.
26:56It appears that there has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday.
27:01Clash of diaries, I understand. What?
27:03This Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at Oxford University.
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a diary conflict through no fault of mine and I have to get back.
27:20You're supposed to be here for two weeks.
27:21Yes, I know.
27:22Don't ever.
27:23The plans change.
27:25I have a commitment at Oxford University.
27:27It isn't the university.
27:30It's a summer school for tourists. It's not essential.
27:32It is to me.
27:36This is our holiday.
27:39It's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing, which is why I agreed to you bringing your friends
27:46along to entertain you.
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today, requested by your people so the lie could be paraded
27:52to the world's media about what an adoring husband you are on one condition.
27:55What's that?
27:56That you actually are one.
28:37The Slave Enemii
28:39Check out!!!
28:41The Slave Enemii
28:42Check out!!!
28:46Please!
28:47Check out!!!
28:56I love you.
29:35Tens of thousands of British families repossessions are now record levels in
29:40the first half of this year 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies
29:53i think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the war
29:58and it has struck right across the economy it's certainly been a very difficult year
30:06the prime minister your royal highness
30:11prime minister your royal highness so kindly you should come sir
30:19uh before we begin i wonder did your office let anyone at buckingham palace know that we were
30:25meeting i don't believe so sir probably for the best
30:36there are two reasons i asked if i could see you today the first conserving our built heritage
30:44i wonder did you receive the copy of my book i did i don't suppose you found time to flick
30:49through it knowing we were meeting today i made a point of it reading it i'm sure you thought
30:56what an old fogey how stuck in the past he is with his loathing of modernism and change not at
31:04all
31:07why you'd have been right to i am fixated by the past by tradition preserving it conserving it but
31:18none of us is exclusively one thing human beings are too interesting for that you yourself are full of
31:23fascinating contradictions sir coming from brixton a multicultural working-class part of london one
31:30might have expected you either to have concealed your past in order to fit in with the tories or to
31:36have a more socialist viewpoint and become a rising star in the labor party i have never felt that
31:41because of my background i should not be a conservative precisely you not only refuse to
31:48deny your contradictions you don't see them as contradictions i don't which makes you a far more
31:54interesting more complex more impressive person and i hope that the same can be said of me
32:09which brings me to the second reason for our meeting you saw the uh
32:15the recent poll and sunday times article about the queen i did queen victoria's syndrome
32:27what were your conclusions it's just a poll sir true
32:36not a reassuring one bowels come and go dangerous to ignore them equally dangerous to be guided by them
32:55there must have been many polls around the time of mrs thatcher's departure
33:03i'm sure many people wanted the iron lady to go on forever but
33:06what makes the conservative party the successful electoral force that it is
33:11its instinct for renewal and its willingness to make way for someone younger
33:19for almost 60 years my great great grandfather edward the seventh was kept waiting in the wings
33:28it was said that queen victoria had no confidence in him thought him dangerous free thinking
33:37he longed to be given responsibilities but his mother refused even forbade him from seeing state papers
33:49and yet when his time came he proved his doubters wrong and his
33:54dynamism his intellect his popular appeal made his reign a triumph
34:00what are you saying sir i'm saying what a pity it was what a waste
34:08that his voice is his presence his vision wasn't incorporated earlier it would have been so good
34:19it would have been so good for everybody
34:30you're coming to balmoral to the gillies ball yes very much looking forward to it
34:39well then you'll have an opportunity to uh
34:43judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about so deeply
34:54is in safe hands
35:02and now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations
35:07uh
35:23so
35:25so
35:43Oh, my God.
35:46Hello.
35:47Hello, my dear.
35:49Calm down, love.
35:50Come on.
35:51I'm so disappointed.
35:53I'm so disappointed.
35:54Hello.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, there never disappoints me here.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:02Hello, you.
36:05Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We haven't.
36:08I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Well, don't go on.
36:11Here, Mum.
36:13We had a lovely morning.
36:15We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty?
36:21Doesn't she look pretty, Mum?
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am.
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:46What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the charge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:32Come on, girls.
37:35Come on.
37:35Kneel to.
37:36Kneel to.
37:51Come on.
37:52Come on, buddy.
37:53Let's go.
37:53Hold on.
37:54Let's go.
39:28Did you come by train?
39:30Aeroplane, then car.
39:32Of course.
39:33For a busy man, every minute counts.
39:36But I'm a great believer in coming by sea.
39:38Instead of three hours door to door,
39:41it can take as long as two weeks on the war yacht.
39:45Wonderful way to decompress.
39:48And as my great-great-grandmother, who started the Western Isles tour, said,
39:53let time slow down so that one breathes freedom and peace,
39:58making one forget the world and its sad turmoil.
40:09I am aware the comparison between Queen Victoria and me has been made recently in the newspapers
40:14and intended as criticism.
40:16What people fail to understand is I see any similarity with Queen Victoria as a compliment.
40:23Attributes people use to describe her, constancy, stability, calm, duty.
40:30I would be proud to have described me.
40:34And speaking of the royal yacht, it has now become clear that a small refit, teeny tiny little refreshment and
40:41refurbishment is required to keep her in tip-top shape.
40:45I am aware the costs for its maintenance are borne by the government, not by the palace.
40:50And so here I am, coming to you, Prime Minister, on bended knee for the sign-off.
40:58But I'm hoping that will be a formality.
41:05I'm just mindful that before she left office, Mrs. Thatcher bequeathed the palace an extremely generous civil list settlement.
41:14A deal that leaves the royal family richer than ever before.
41:19Given that this deal was designed precisely to forestall any awkward public debate on royal spending,
41:26I feel bound to at least raise the question of whether there's a way you might consider bearing the cost
41:33yourselves.
41:35It's just with the royal yacht being perceived as something of a luxury,
41:39there is a danger the palace could be seen to be asking for too much.
41:43But she isn't a luxury.
41:44Isn't she?
41:45Prime Minister, there has always been a royal yacht going all the way back to King Charles II.
41:52She is a central and indispensable part of the way the Crown serves the nation.
41:57And the revenue she has generated doing so is incalculable.
42:00But we're in the midst of a global recession.
42:02Each penny of public spending is closely scrutinized.
42:08I worry that the government spending public money on the refurbishment of a yacht might backfire.
42:17On us both.
42:26When I came to the throne, all my palaces were inherited.
42:32Windsor, Balmoral, Sandringham.
42:35They all bear the stamp of my predecessors.
42:38Only Britannia have I truly been able to make my own.
42:43Perhaps for that reason, the connection between me and the yacht is very much deeper than a mode of transport
42:49or even a home.
42:52From the design of the Hull, the smallest piece of China, she is a floating, seagoing expression of me.
43:07I hope we can agree that as sovereign, I have made very few requests, let alone demands, in return of
43:13the service I have given this country.
43:16Perhaps the reason I have held back is in the hope that when I actually do, people don't just take
43:22it seriously.
43:23They do as I ask, without question.
43:27So, I would like this government's reassurance, your reassurance, that the costs for the refurbishments will be met.
43:34And for you to inform me as soon as the arrangements are in place.
43:41I understand.
43:48Now, the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask, are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine into an independent European country.
43:59They want to break away from Moscow to turn their back on the leadership of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West in a bid to earn hard currency, the other Soviet republics have...
44:27I understand.
44:29I have a seat up here.
44:39He is there.
44:40He is there.
45:43Will you do me the honor, Prime Minister?
45:45The honor would be mine, Your Majesty.
46:31It's been a pleasure.
46:33If you're19, enter my family, I am by me, with theICO.
46:55I was a great fan, my friend.
47:09some local history for you if you're interested of course queen victoria held the first gillies
47:16ball in 1852 and there's been one every year since i see it began as a thank you to the
47:26gamekeepers and
47:27other servants and has since developed into something of a saturnalia if you know your classics
47:36but the rules are turned upside down for a day masters serving slaves and all disciplinary
47:43measures suspended for the night i was just telling the prime minister that these things can get quite
48:01giddy not that i ever witness any of it i'm afraid the real fun only starts when i go to
48:06bed can i
48:07count on you for full report in the morning you can your majesty good night should we slip away our
48:14majesty the queen
48:34prime minister i understand you um you had an audience with the queen today
48:40i know i shouldn't ask but uh i just hope it plays well with the public
48:47sir the uh the refit to britannia that is what she asked you for sir
48:56sometimes these old things are too costly to keep repairing
49:05i'll leave you with that thought
49:09shall we call it a night i can't not yet you dance with me before i scream
49:17i'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow back to normality
49:22now i'm stuck here for another two weeks you just had a lovely family holiday you and the prince of
49:27us look so happy you can judge the health of the family by the state of the marriages for binet
49:36and look ann and mark look at andrew and sarah charles and me
49:45i don't give any of us more than six months
49:50and what happens then when the family falls apart
49:54i say the institution falls apart
49:57and then
50:04the presentation of the parents is what
50:32what's the matter
50:39when you imagine the problems you might be confronted with this prime minister you imagine
50:43tricky sessions at pmqs the economy and free fall
50:48going to war
50:52you never imagine this
50:57the house of windsor should be binding the nation together
51:03setting an example of idealized family life instead
51:08the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch
51:15the junior royals
51:18the junior royals
51:19the junior royals
51:19feckless entitled and lost
51:24and the prince of wales impatient for a bigger role in public life
51:28fails to appreciate that his one great asset is his wife
51:34it's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country
51:41and what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt
51:48on my watch
