Short filmTranscript
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.
02:12Margaret Rose is...
02:15All right.
02:19Good.
02:54Oh, my God!
02:56Oh, my God!
02:56Oh, my God!
02:57The Queen!
03:08Hello, dear Queen.
03:13Your 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.
03:29Well, it's not so bad.
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us.
03:35What's the first stop?
03:36New York.
03:37Uh, San Francisco.
03:38Then Los Angeles.
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona.
03:42How lovely.
03:43Then on to New York, where Tony is promoting his book.
03:47You've written a book?
03:49A book of my photographs.
03:50Oh, you are clever.
03:52You must make time to really relax, too.
03:55We will.
03:57Be good to one another.
03:59Kind to one another.
04:01Basically.
04:06Sad she felt the need to say that.
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another.
04:11Kind to one another.
04:12Both of you.
04:13I was a little clumsy.
04:17But she means well.
04:19Two of us are complicated.
04:24She and I are complicated.
04:27It's true.
04:29Elder sister, younger sister.
04:32Number one and number two.
04:34Who's number one?
04:37You, of course.
04:39A natural number one, whose 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 her button.
04:55Welcome aboard this BOAC flight to San Francisco.
05:00Please take your seats and relax.
05:02We're now ready for departure and we'll be taxiing shortly.
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight.
06:50Good morning, Mr. Ambassador.
06:53Economically, as you know, Marvin, the United Kingdom is right up against it.
06:57We're seeing a terrifying run on sterling and our credit from the IMF is about to expire.
07:03Now, the Prime Minister has made several attempts to speak to the President about another bailout.
07:08Rescue package.
07:10But the President refuses to take his call.
07:13President Johnson is a busy man, too busy to talk to his oldest ally.
07:19Historically, the holder of this office has the warmest relationship with Downing Street.
07:23Think of Churchill and Roosevelt, or Truman and Adley, McMillan and JFK.
07:29No need to keep mentioning Jack Kennedy like that.
07:33Keep mentioning?
07:34It's just provocative.
07:36It's just provocative.
07:37Unhelpful.
07:38President Johnson is his own man.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Of course.
07:43I mentioned it only in the context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty.
07:48Morning, Prime Minister.
07:49The United Kingdom and the United States.
07:54Historically, it's like a marriage.
07:58Will you talk to him?
08:01No.
08:02Screw the Brits.
08:03I don't like them.
08:03I never liked them.
08:05They're not looking down at you through their noses.
08:06They're holding their hands out like beggars.
08:08And I don't give a crap about any special relationship.
08:11Harold Wilson wants my help.
08:12He should have thought about that when he refused to support me over Vietnam.
08:15You can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers.
08:24The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
08:25Your Majesty.
08:28Prime Minister.
08:41I'm sure that it did not escape your attention that President Johnson failed to attend at
08:47Suenst's funeral.
08:48Yes, on account of a cold.
08:50Well, that was the explanation the White House gave, but it persuaded no one.
08:53Now, I fear that the President may have taken against me for what he sees as my failure
09:01to support him over Vietnam.
09:03And I wondered, in the past, the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special
09:16relationship afloat.
09:20And given the predicament the country finds itself in economically...
09:25You'd like us to roll out the red carpet?
09:27Make a bit of a fuss?
09:32Please.
09:34All right.
09:35I shall consult the three wise men, see what they have to say.
09:40Thank you, ma'am.
09:50What we have witnessed in Princess Margaret is a more vibrant, modern, and engaging version
09:58of her older sister.
10:00Quite right.
10:02To those accustomed to the formality of traditional royal visits, meeting Princess Margaret has
10:08been like going from a black and white film to one in color.
10:12What about a state dinner?
10:14Like the one held for Woodrow Wilson in 1918.
10:17Or a weekend at Windsor Castle.
10:19The important thing here, I'm told, is that whatever we offer President Johnson, it must
10:24exceed whatever we gave the Kennedys.
10:26When you're smart.
10:28Hey, we wanted to see the Queen.
10:31You're seeing something better than the Queen.
10:33What do you think is the main difference between Britain and America?
10:36Well, my sister isn't on the backboards here.
10:39What are you most looking forward to in America?
10:44Liberty.
10:46But when you're crying, you get all the way to stop your silence.
10:54Be happy again, keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world starts with
11:05you.
11:07You smiley, darling.
11:09What news of Princess Margaret?
11:11After three days in San Francisco, Her Royal Highness has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
11:16Any disasters I should be aware of?
11:18No, on the contrary, the trip seems to have been a great success.
11:21Really?
11:22Yes, rave reviews, all the newspapers.
11:26With even a name having been coined for the multitude of fans and well-wishers who have
11:30followed her every step of the way.
11:33Which is?
11:34Margaretologists.
11:36Margaretologists?
11:38Yes, ma'am.
11:39Fans who have delighted in Her Royal Highness' intelligence and articulacy, her beauty and charm.
11:44With one newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, even going so far as to...
11:48It's all right.
11:48Thank you, Martin.
11:49Yes, ma'am.
11:50I'm a queen, not a saint.
11:52That's it.
11:52Try not to smile.
12:10I gave it.
12:12Not once, not twice, but three times and you ignored it.
12:15What?
12:16A signal.
12:17Our signal that I wanted to leave.
12:20I didn't see it.
12:21You know, as well as I, that if you are the guest of honour, you cannot just leave.
12:27In the course of our marriage, I have lost count of the number of times you've walked out
12:31as guest of honour.
12:33Once or twice.
12:34All the bloody time.
12:36When it's dreary.
12:37When it suits you.
12:39Well, the people are ugly and dull.
12:43These people were musing and attractive and made me feel good.
12:51No, no, no, no, no, the alcohol made you feel good and blunted your judgment to the sycophancy
12:58of the people surrounding you.
12:59Is that right?
13:01Yes, keys.
13:03Well, sadly, it's not blunted my judgment to your mean-spiritedness and jealousy and general
13:13pusinalaminity, pusinalaminity, small-mindedness.
13:21I didn't recognise this.
13:24Hmm.
13:25Come to think of it.
13:26I didn't recognise you.
13:31Actually, nor did anyone else.
13:34I mean, if we're honest.
13:39Isn't that the real problem here?
13:41Hmm?
13:44Oh, I'm sorry.
13:46And you are Tony who?
13:49Oh, yeah, the husband guy.
13:54It's not easy, sometimes.
13:57What is not easy?
14:00Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess.
14:04Don't talk to me about being a second fiddle.
14:07I get so little limelight.
14:12No, it's the price I pay for the sister I have.
14:16But if the opportunity should once arise for me to shine, I'd appreciate you putting aside
14:24the competitive little narcissist that rages within you.
14:30And letting me savour it.
14:41I promise that once we get to New York, the 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.
15:00And nothing will make me happier.
15:15Now, you can tell me, oh, you want 50,000, hell, 100,000 more boots on the ground are going
15:19to resolve this.
15:21But I put 100,000 more men in there.
15:23Who's to say that Ho Chi Minh isn't going to put 100,000 more?
15:26A man can't fight if he can't see daylight at the end of the road.
15:31I want to see solutions, gentlemen, solutions, not more numbers.
15:37By God, I will not be the first American president to lose a goddamn war.
15:44That'll be all.
15:45Yes, sir, it's better.
15:58What is this?
16:00A peace offering from the Brits.
16:02Open to secure the bailout.
16:07Weekend shooting at Balmoral?
16:09Yes, sir.
16:10That's as good as it gets.
16:12Even Kennedy never got that.
16:15Really?
16:16He got a banquet, Naval Guard of Honor, but never a weekend shooting in Scotland.
16:22No one has gotten that.
16:27Hmm.
16:34Still, that's a long flight.
16:37Followed by a long drive.
16:40Stay in some creepy haunted castle.
16:43The 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, which would involve researching, learning, cutting my
17:02nails.
17:04And I'd still get it all wrong.
17:07And then everybody would 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 changed.
17:36So my position has not changed.
17:51And I'd say that.
18:04I've been doing it.
18:12I've been doing it.
18:13I've been doing it.
18:13I've been doing it.
18:14It's a 15th century country house set under the Santa Rita Mountains in miles and miles of wide open desert.
18:29MUSIC PLAYS
19:01Tony. Brace yourselves.
19:05Come along, darling.
19:11Your royal heinous.
19:13No blinking, no kissing.
19:15Jabs!
19:22Oh, I look hideous.
19:25No.
19:29Ghastly.
19:30You look a bit tired.
19:33A bit coldy.
19:35It's only to be expected after your...
19:39heroics.
19:41You hated every minute, didn't you?
19:44Maybe.
19:46That's irrelevant.
19:49The newspapers didn't.
19:52Page after page about how extraordinary you are.
19:57What 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.
20:08And now, you must sleep.
20:10What will you do?
20:12Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
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.
20:40Just got off the phone with the queen.
20:42Don'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.
21:03Just have him reply.
21:06Well, now, don't you do this, Mormon.
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.
21:16It's head of state, prime minister, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street.
21:20It's like a double leg, 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?
21:42If I want to issue an invitation to get me out of trouble.
21:45Well, you call me, sir, your oldest friend.
21:48I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble.
21:52All 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, and here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered
22:10them 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.
22:19The American people and their press have warmed to the couple, enchanted by the natural display
22:26of charm and friendliness.
22:28Prime Minister for you.
22:29I said it was urgent.
22:35Prime Minister?
22:37Just to say, we've finally had a response from the Americans, ma'am.
22:43They've come back with an invitation of their own to dinner at the White House.
22:50For me?
22:51No, for Princess Margaret.
22:54Oh, that's cunning.
22:55Yes.
22:57That way, 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
23:13the White House, and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause.
23:21It would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy.
23:26For which you want to send Princess Margaret?
23:29Yes, well, that had been my reaction.
23:32But her trip to America has been a terrific success.
23:36So I gather.
23:39So will you ask her.
23:44If those are my instructions.
23:48Please.
23:54Well, well.
23:55I suppose the situation is so dire, there's really nothing to lose.
24:00He doesn't know my sister.
24:04Ma'am.
24:10Mo.
24:11Mo.
24:15Your Royal Highness.
24:17Mo.
24:17No.
24:18Telephone for you.
24:19No.
24:20It's the Queen.
24:35Hello, you.
24:37Hello, you.
24:39Sorry to disturb.
24:41I know you're on holiday, so you don't want to hear this.
24:44What?
24:45We've had an invitation from the White House for you to go to Washington and have dinner
24:50with the President and the First Lady.
24:52And we'd like you to attend.
24:54When?
24:54This Wednesday.
24:57Oh, I can't.
24:59Why not?
25:02I'm going to be in New York.
25:05And Tony's book launch.
25:08Perhaps I should make it clear.
25:10There is rather a lot riding on it, and everyone is keen, very keen, for you to go.
25:16Perhaps I should make it clear that nothing is going to stop me from supporting my husband.
25:21Just like you asked me to.
25:23Margaret!
25:23Margaret!
25:27.
26:04Dear Margaret, as a wife, I understand your desire to support Tony.
26:09You know that it was my honest hope that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous, more encouraging to each other.
26:18But for now, such considerations must be put aside.
26:23I have asked you this once as a sister, and now I must command it as your queen.
26:31Your Royal Highness, sir, thank you so much for agreeing to this.
26:37The most recent list of people attending the dinner, with some brief biographies of those
26:42expected to sit close to you.
26:43Well, what I'm asking you to do amounts to much more than simply attending a dinner.
26:53Currently, there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity that require
26:59a 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, but you are a wasted resource.
27:14Well, the task you are embarking on today could not be more crucial.
27:19Britain currently has a deficit of 800 million pounds.
27:23What we need is a bailout of at least 1,000 million.
27:32Only the Americans can give it to us.
27:38I know you like to do things your own way, but this is a diplomatic mission of the highest
27:45sensitivity, and I would urge you, for once, to 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, exhaust the credit facilities available to us, face
28:06a run on sterling, and the government would be left with no option but to devalue the pound.
28:12And that's bad.
28:15Devaluation is worse than bad.
28:17It would relegate sterling to the second division of the world's currencies, and Britain to the
28:21third division of the world's economies.
28:25It would mean international humiliation, political ignominy, and financial ruin.
28:40Romanus?
28:41President Johnson.
28:45And that's what it's çek for.
28:47Anyway, we're time.
28:52O'clock.��
29:00budget weather. Here's
29:01in our category. WhatNeists?
29:06Let's speak.
29:09Run theanz氣.
29:10guerre. Let's speak.
29:10We're done with
29:10done with us. We're
29:11done with us.
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:34I...
29:36I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?
30:05I 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.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most
30:21the frustrations and resentments
30:23that can build up from a life as a number two,
30:28a support act,
30:31even of someone you adore.
30:35You 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.
30:56Thoroughly, enthusiastically, unreservedly.
30:59He said, um, if I remember rightly,
31:04Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother
31:06just to take the skin off her ass
31:08to make a drum to beat his own praises.
31:18Right?
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,
31:37a little off-colour.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on, then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:46Well, the first one went a little bit, though.
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware.
32:00Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits,
32:07she 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?
32:34Princess 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 arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:09Then, 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
33:51at four in the morning,
33:53newly anglophile President Johnson
33:55having agreed to the bailout.
33:57The special relationship,
33:58more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:02That's what I thought, you crook.
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.
34:16Yes, I am.
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
34:29every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice
34:34to 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.
34:47Faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:50No, you can't.
34:51No, you can't.
34:52No, you can't.
34:52No, you can't.
34:53No, you can't.
35:15Prime Minister.
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness.
35:20Very well played.
35:22Thank you, sir.
35:23Shall we?
35:24No, you can't.
36:11Hail the conquering heroine.
36:13Ah, yes.
36:15Let the abuse begin.
36:17Now, you must know by now,
36:19any triumph from this family
36:20is met with a healthy dose of...
36:21Envy?
36:22Spite?
36:22Good-natured teasing.
36:23To keep one's feet on the ground.
36:25But everyone's very grateful.
36:27The Prime Minister said
36:28he 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
36:37as to what to give you
36:38to show our appreciation.
36:41How would you feel
36:41about the Order of Merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gong and your bong
36:49and your bong for all the men
36:50to whom it matters so much.
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit
36:54to having done a little thinking
36:56in view of how well it all went.
36:59About us doing it more often.
37:04Doing 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
37:17with, I think we can agree,
37:20favourable results.
37:24Isn't it possible
37:25that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:27You 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
37:46is if you were prepared
37:48to share a little more.
37:52For Bazaar sakes.
38:03Let me think about it.
38:05I'll see what I can do.
38:12Don't tell me you softened.
38:13I did.
38:14And with good reason.
38:17Margaret does suffer
38:18more than anyone else
38:19by not having a more meaningful role.
38:22Suffers in health and happiness.
38:24She's overlooked.
38:26And in terms of ability
38:27and character
38:28and intelligence
38:30and flair
38:31she does not deserve
38:32to be overlooked.
38:33So why shouldn't we consider
38:35expanding the role?
38:36Sharing the job a bit more?
38:38There are two answers
38:39to that question.
38:41Neither makes
38:42for pretty listening.
38:46Yes.
38:47The system is unequal.
38:49Unjust and cruel.
38:52Primogeniture divides
38:53and destroys families.
38:54The system stinks.
38:56But
38:56in its cruelty
38:58and injustice
38:59it reflects something else
39:00which is harsh
39:01and brutal
39:02which
39:03no one is suggesting
39:04we rearrange.
39:06Life.
39:09We all desire equality
39:11but here's the thing
39:13we were not born equal.
39:18and what's the second?
39:20Do you remember
39:21I told you once
39:22I got drunk
39:22with that
39:23god awful monster
39:24Tommy Lassels?
39:26Well that night
39:27he shared with me
39:29his theory
39:30about the house of Windsor
39:32I've never repeated
39:33to anyone since.
39:36Go on.
39:40He asked me to imagine
39:41a mythological creature
39:44a rice addler
39:46a polycephalus
39:48a two-headed eagle
39:49for the purposes
39:51of this conversation
39:52I want you to think
39:53of it as representing us
39:55this family
39:58your family
40:00and there have always
40:01been
40:02the dazzling Windsors
40:03and the dull ones
40:04your father
40:05a saint
40:06but dull
40:09sorry
40:11your grandfather too
40:12George the Fifth
40:14deadly dull
40:16at the height
40:17of the great war
40:18when the
40:19the Tsar
40:20and the Kaiser
40:20and the Emperor
40:21of Austria
40:22were dazzling the world
40:23where was he?
40:25He was sticking
40:26stamps in his album
40:27his wife
40:28Queen Mary
40:28wonderful
40:29Ditchwater
40:30and so it goes
40:32through George the Fifth
40:33to Queen Victoria
40:34and back
40:35an uninterrupted line
40:37of stolid
40:38turgid drearings
40:40Culminating in me
40:41Yes
40:41but
40:44alongside that
40:45dull
40:46dutiful
40:47reliable
40:47heroic strain
40:48runs another
40:52the dazzling
40:53the brilliant
40:54the individualistic
40:55and
40:56the dangerous
40:59and so
41:00for every
41:01Victoria
41:01you get
41:02an Edward the Seventh
41:03for every George the Fifth
41:05you get a Prince Eddie
41:07for every George the Sixth
41:08you get
41:09an Edward the Eighth
41:17and she may have had a success
41:19in Washington
41:20but let's not delude ourselves
41:22that serious diplomacy
41:23can be achieved
41:24through drinking and dancing
41:25let Margaret have the glory
41:27but let's not rewrite
41:29the constitutional rule book
41:31because she got lucky once
41:33and where does that leave
41:34my relationship with her
41:35unchanged
41:37you're the queen
41:39and she's your dangerous
41:41baby sister
41:45she's outside
41:46she knows we're talking about her
41:47then let's join her
41:50that feverish mind of hers
41:52needs no encouragement
42:00she comes in
42:02so
42:02let's go
42:02let's go
42:33What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701, not the
42:41wild and irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for
42:51the nation.
42:53Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne, yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish
43:05notions about rewriting the rulebook 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.
43:43Margaret.
43:43Margaret.
44:24Margaret.
44:43Margaret.
45:17Margaret.
45:25Margaret.
45:28Margaret.
45:29Margaret.
45:29Margaret.
45:29Margaret.
46:03When you're smiling, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
46:13When you're laughing, when you're laughing, the sun comes shining through.
46:23But when you're crying, you bring on the rain.
46:29So stop your sighing, be happy again.
46:34Keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
46:58Keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
47:24Keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
47:39Keep on smiling, cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
