00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:14All right.
02:19Good.
02:48To
03:07Oh
03:12Your majesty
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements
03:25On what is essentially a private trip
03:27And for flying this way commercially
03:29Oh, it's not so bad
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us
03:35What's the first stop? New York
03:36Ah, San Francisco, then Los Angeles
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona
03:42Oh, lovely
03:43Then on to New York
03:44Where Tony is promoting his book
03:47You've written a book?
03:49Ah, a book of my photographs
03:50Oh, you are clever
03:52You must make time to really relax, too
03:55We will
03:56Be good to one another
03:58Kind to one another
04:01Both of you
04:06Sad she felt the need to say that
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another
04:10Kind to one another
04:11Eight of you
04:13I was a little clumsy
04:17But she means well

04:33Who's number one?
04:37You, of course
04:39A natural number one
04:41Whose tragedy it is to have been born number two
04:45That is my button
04:48She knows it, too
04:51Yes, I think she does
04:54That's our battle

06:58on sterling and our credit from the imf is about to expire now the prime minister has made several
07:05attempts to speak to the president about another bailout rescue package but the president refuses
07:11to take his call president johnson is a busy man too busy to talk to his oldest ally historically
07:20the holder of this office has the warmest relationship with down the street think of
07:24churchill and roosevelt or truman and adley mcmillan and jfk no need to keep mentioning jack kennedy
07:31like that keep mentioning it's just provocative unhelpful president johnson is his own man
07:41of course i mentioned it only in the context of our leaders standing shoulder to shoulder in
07:47times of difficulty the united kingdom and the united states historically it's like a marriage
07:58will you talk to him
08:01no screw the brits i don't like them i never liked them they're not looking down at you through their
08:06noses they're holding their hands out like beggars and i don't give a crap about any special relationship
08:11gerald wilson wants my help you should have thought about that when he refused to support
08:14me over vietnam you can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers
08:24the prime minister your majesty your majesty
08:27prime minister
08:41i'm sure that it did not escape your attention that president johnson failed to attend
08:46at so instance funeral yes on account of a code well that was the explanation the white house gave but
08:52it persuaded no one now i fear that the president may have taken against me for what he sees as
09:00my
09:01failure to support him over vietnam and i wondered
09:09in the past
09:11the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat
09:20and given the predicament the country finds itself in economically
09:25you'd like us to roll out the red carpet make a bit of a fuss
09:32please
09:34all right i shall consult the three wise men see what they have to say
09:41thank you ma'am

09:58older sister quite right
10:02to those accustomed to the formality of traditional royal visits meeting princess
10:07margaret has been like going from a black and white film to one in color
10:13what about a state dinner like the one held for woodrow wilson in 1918 or a weekend at windsor castle
10:19the important thing here i'm told is that whatever we offer president johnson
10:23it must exceed whatever we gave the kennedys hey we wanted to see the queen you're seeing something
10:32better than the queen what do you think is the main difference between britain and america well

14:43that once we get to new york
14:47the spotlight will be entirely on you and your book
14:52i'll take a back seat and be the adoring and supportive number two you want me to be

16:15really he got a banquet naval guard of honor but never a weekend shooting in scotland
16:21no one has gotten that
16:26hmm
16:32still
16:34that's a long flight followed by a long drive
16:40stay in some creepy haunted castle the weather's terrible
16:47and it would involve making small talk to fancy people
16:52then when you go shooting there's rules things you do and don't do
16:58which would involve researching learning cutting my nails and i'd still get it all wrong
17:07and then everybody'd laugh at me and they'd say how i wouldn't know jack kennedy who would know exactly
17:12which knife and fork to use and which bird to shoot
17:16so my position has not changed
17:20it is still no thank you your majesty

19:05Come along, darling.
19:11Your royal heinous.
19:13No blinking, no kissing.
19:15Judge!
19:17This is exhausting.
19:22I look hideous.
19:29Ghastly.
19:30You look a bit tired, a bit coldy.
19:35It's only to be expected after your heroics.
19:40You hated every minute, didn't you?
19:44Maybe.
19:46That's irrelevant.
19:48The newspapers didn't.
19:52Page after page about how extraordinary you are.
19:56What an asset to the crown.
19:59How underused you are.
20:00What a secret weapon.
20:01How deserving you are of the spotlight.
20:03Your elder sister eclipsed and outshone.
20:06Darling.
20:07And now you must sleep.
20:10What will you do?
20:12Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
20:14Father.
20:16So rest.
20:17I will.
20:18And get well for New York.
20:35Mr. President, I just got off the phone with our ambassador in London.
20:38We just got off the phone with the prime minister, just got off the phone with the queen.
20:41Don't tell me everybody's pissed.
20:44The general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister, that's one thing.
20:50But no one gets to insult the crown, sir.
20:52It's like treason or something.
20:55How have I insulted the crown?
20:57By not accepting the queen's invitation, sir.
20:59Well, I didn't refuse.
21:02I just haven't replied.
21:06Well, now, don't you do this, Marvin.
21:09You're my chief of staff.
21:10You're supposed to have my back.
21:12Don't you get suckered into this.
21:13You know, they got this whole thing going on over there.
21:16Head of state, prime minister, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street.
21:20It's like a double act, like tag team wrestling.
21:22One of them gets in trouble, the other jumps in to bail them out.
21:26Wilson screws me over Vietnam, and she jumps in to make it all good with some bursts.
21:31You bullshit.
21:32We don't have that here.
21:35Oh, sir.
21:38Buck stops with me.
21:41Who the hell am I supposed to call if I want to issue an invitation to get me out of
21:45trouble?
21:45Well, you call me, sir, your oldest friend.
21:48I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble.
21:51All right.
21:53Come up with a plan.
21:54Well, sir, I just did.
21:57This is the plan, right here.
22:00Who in God's name is that?
22:04They came to land at Oakland Airport.
22:07And here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered them everywhere they went.
22:12The princess was radiant, obviously enjoying herself.
22:15It wasn't long before her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion.
22:20The American people and their press have warmed to the couple, enchanted by the natural display of charm and friendliness.
22:27The prime minister for you, ma'am.
22:31The princess said it was urgent.
22:32The princess said it was urgent.
22:34The princess said it was urgent.
22:57She said it was urgent.
22:58But I don't think President Johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer.
23:00No.
23:02It also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout.
23:06Indeed.
23:07But we think not all is lost, that Princess Margaret should accept the invitation, go to the White House, and
23:15use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause.
23:21it would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy for which you want to send
23:28princess margaret yes well that had been my reaction
23:32but her trip to america has been a terrific success so i get her
23:39so will you ask her
23:44if those are my instructions
23:48please
23:54well well i suppose the situation is so dire there's really nothing to lose
23:59he doesn't know my sister
24:04ma'am
24:10hello
24:14your royal highness
24:16no
24:17telephone for you
24:19no
24:19it's the queen
24:36hello you
24:38hello you
24:40sorry to disturb
24:41i know you're on holiday so you don't want to hear this
24:44what we've had an invitation from the white house for you to go to washington
24:49and have dinner with the president and the first lady and we'd like you to attend
24:54when
24:55this wednesday
24:57ah can't
25:00why not
25:02i'm going to be in new york
25:04and tell you's book launch
25:08perhaps i should make it clear
25:09there is rather a lot riding on it
25:12and everyone is keen
25:13very keen
25:14for you to go
25:15perhaps i should make it clear
25:17that nothing is going to stop me
25:20from supporting my husband
25:21just like you asked me to
25:23margaret
26:04dear margaret
26:06as a wife
26:07i understand your desire to support tony
26:09you know that it was my honest hope
26:11that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous
26:16more encouraging to each other
26:18but for now such considerations must be put aside
26:23i have asked you this once as a sister
26:25and now i must command it as your queen
26:31your royal highness
26:32sir
26:33thank you so much for agreeing to this
26:37the most recent list of people attending the dinner
26:40with some brief biographies of those expected to sit close to you
26:43what i'm asking you to do
26:45amounts to much more than simply attending a dinner
26:53currently there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity
26:58that require a concerted effort on our part
27:01we must heal the divisions that are emerging between britain and its american cousins
27:08you've often lamented that you have nothing to do
27:11but you are a wasted resource
27:14well the task you are embarking on today
27:16could not be more crucial
27:19britain currently
27:20has a deficit of 800 million pounds
27:23what we need is a bailout
27:26of at least
27:271 000 million
27:32only the americans can give it to us
27:38i know you like to do things your own way
27:42but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity
27:46and i would urge you for once
27:49to play things by the book
27:54what happens if i fail
27:56we don't get the bailout
27:59then we break our promises to the imf
28:03exhaust the credit facilities available to us
28:05face a run on sterling
28:08and the government would be left with no option but to devalue the pound
28:12and that's bad
28:14devaluation
28:15it's worse than bad
28:17it would relegate sterling to the second division of the world's currencies
28:20and britain to the third division of the world's economies
28:24it would mean international humiliation
28:27political ignominy
28:28and
28:31financial ruin
28:40minus
28:40president johnson
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:36I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy. I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong? I do know these days one's not allowed to think anything other
30:10than what a great statesman Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:15Of course he'll say nothing. He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most the frustrations and resentments that can build up from a life
30:26as a number two, a support act, even of someone you adore.
30:36You spent three years as Vice President.
30:39I've spent my whole life as Vice Queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a Vice Queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place to deal with the fallout?
30:51Oh, no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed. Thoroughly. Enthusiastically. Unreservedly.
30:59He said, um, if I remember rightly, Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother, just to take the skin off her ass to make a drum to beat
31:09his own praises.
31:19Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them, I'm afraid to say, are a little off-color.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on, then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:46Well, the first one went a little bit.
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware, Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president countered with,
32:16there was a young man from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed with an enormously large...
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone thought that was long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:33Princess Margaret won the evening with this one.
32:37There was a young lady from Dallas
32:39who used a dynamite stick as a phallus.
32:44They found her...
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina in North Carolina...
32:55And her asshole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:08Then, apparently, there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be, I can be.
33:39Greater, sooner, or later.
33:41I'm greater than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:50She finally snagged at home at four in the morning.
33:53Newly anglophile President Johnson
33:55having agreed to the bailout.
33:57A special relationship more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:02That's what I thought, you croc.
34:04And all because
34:05Margaret was all the things
34:07I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:12Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:19You're all those things, too.
34:20No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two,
34:27I would pick dependability every day of the week.
34:33It would be nice to be dazzling on occasion, too.
34:37You are dazzling.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:42Anything you can say,
34:43I can say,
34:44faster.
34:45I can say anything
34:46faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:51Take it.
34:52Take it.
34:52Take it.
34:52Take it.
35:15Prime Minister.
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness.
35:20Very well played.
35:21Thank you, sir.
35:23Call it.
36:11Hail the conquering heroine.
36:13Ah, yes.
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now, any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of envy, spite,
36:22good-natured teasing to keep one's feet on the ground.
36:25But everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally.
36:30Oh, better than that.
36:31He met me at the airport.
36:34Ah.
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs and your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking in view of how well it
36:57all went.
36:59About us doing it more often.
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties.
37:08But we didn't share duties.
37:09You just went to a dinner party.
37:12In your place.
37:14And represented crown and country with, I think we can agree, favorable results.
37:24Isn't it possible that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do.
37:30Far too much pressure.
37:32Far too much responsibility.
37:34And I too little.
37:36Having no role.
37:38Having nothing to do.
37:40Is soul destroying.
37:45All I'm asking is if you were prepared to share a little more.
37:52For Beza sakes.
38:02Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:11Don't tell me you've softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else by not having a more meaningful role.
38:22Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability and character and intelligence and flair, she does not deserve to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider expending the role?
38:36So why shouldn't we consider expending the role?
38:37Sharing the job a bit more?
38:38There are two answers to that question.
38:41And neither makes for pretty listening.
38:46Yes, the system is unequal.
38:49Unjust and cruel.
38:50And primogeniture divides and destroys families.
38:55The system stinks.
38:56But in its cruelty and injustice, it reflects something else which is harsh and brutal.
39:02Of which no-one is suggesting we rearrange.
39:06Life.
39:08We all desire equality.
39:11But here's the thing.
39:14We were not born equal.
39:17And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once I got drunk with that god-awful monster Tommy Lassels?
39:26Well, that night, he shared with me his theory about the House of Windsor.
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since.
39:36Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine a mythological creature.
39:44A rice addler.
39:47A polycephalus.
39:48A two-headed eagle.
39:50For the purposes of this conversation, I want you to think of it as representing us.
39:55This family.
39:58Your family.
40:00And there have always been the dazzling Windsors and the dull ones.
40:04Your father.
40:06A saint.
40:07But dull.
40:09Sorry.
40:11Your grandfather too.
40:13George the Fifth.
40:14Deadly dull.
40:16I mean, at the height of the Great War, when the Tsar and the Kaiser and the Emperor of Austria
40:22were dazzling the world.
40:23Where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album.
40:27His wife.
40:28Queen Mary.
40:29Wonderful.
40:29Ditchwater.
40:30And so it goes through George the Fifth to Queen Victoria and back.
40:35An uninterrupted line of stolid, turgid dreariness.
40:40Culminating in me.
40:41Yes, but alongside that dull, dutiful, reliable, heroic strain, runs another.
40:52The dazzling, the brilliant, the individualistic and dangerous.
40:59And so, for every Victoria, you get an Edward the Seventh.
41:04For every George the Fifth, you get a Prince Eddie.
41:07For every George the Sixth, you get an Edward the Eighth.
41:12For every Lilibet, you get a Margaret.
41:17And she may have had a success in Washington.
41:20But let's not delude ourselves that serious diplomacy can be achieved through drinking and dancing.
41:26Let Margaret have the glory.
41:28But let's not rewrite the constitutional rule book because she got lucky once.
41:33And where does that leave my relationship with her?
41:36Unchanged.
41:37You're the Queen.
41:39And she's your dangerous baby sister.
41:45She's outside.
41:46She knows we're talking about her.
41:48Then let's join her.
41:50That feverish mind of hers needs no encouragement.
42:33What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701,
42:40not the wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:53Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne.
42:56Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the
43:07rule book so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play.
43:14Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
44:03Princess Elizabeth's will be from the ship.
44:03Princess Elizabeth's will be centre stage and 해vers.
44:13Princess Elizabeth's will be certo.
44:22Oh, my God.
46:15When you're laughing, when you're laughing, the sun comes shining through.
46:24But when you're crying, you bring on the rain.
46:29So stop your sighing.
46:32Be happy again.
46:34Keep on smiling.
46:36Cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
