00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Lush.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:16Enjoy.
00:01:45newspapers.
00:01:46Subtitles.
00:01:48Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:48We got something.
00:03:18Here it is.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:45Freedom.
00:03:46In a country of his choice and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:04Come on.
00:04:24Come on.
00:04:34Come on.
00:04:35Come on.
00:04:40Come on.
00:04:52Come on.
00:05:16Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:32Don't you knock, sir.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:30These papers must never see the light of day, Winston, ever.
00:06:35Publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:38The gravest, what is written here, brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:12The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain
00:08:19of the American evangelist team headed by Billy Graham.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate grey suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way.
00:08:42It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young.
00:08:49He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely.
00:08:52A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door to door in North Carolina.
00:09:03What?
00:09:04There's a humility to that which I like.
00:09:07Are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:13Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel not of despair but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:36Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling.
00:09:45Any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear Trooper.
00:10:23Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Bravo.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:50Now they are losing.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't mind.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique! Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no, I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:59How did you help me?
00:12:04I am out!
00:12:08I am out!
00:12:16Thank you, sir.
00:12:22And you can Magazine Magazine.
00:12:23Oh, my God.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me.
00:12:57The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens,
00:13:03and at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it,
00:13:12but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Dien.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me.
00:13:33Is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice,
00:14:08who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:37The third of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor,
00:15:19and private lunch to follow?
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:27that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham
00:15:31not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37crusades,
00:15:38which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:47Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor
00:15:51has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Hmm.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:04Mr. Albaire.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't.
00:18:14I have access to the U.S. State Department of Justice.
00:18:22The U.S. State Department of Justice.
00:18:25The U.S. State Department of Justice.
00:18:27It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too, common and uninteresting people, pestering me to join them for drinks or
00:18:44play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters, who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse, as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab
00:19:14little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Rosie.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:25Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:56I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign, gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:11Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American Ambassador, and the Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:06Can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:28Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on, I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes, floor brushes, toothbrushes.
00:21:32Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49What is a Christian?
00:21:50The Bible tells us, Colossians 127 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty, and you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide it.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I ever spoke in public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural, that of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29It's true.
00:24:30It's true.
00:24:41It's true.
00:24:45It's true.
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my Council of War, my Brains Trust, politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a Major General attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I've much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:40A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes.
00:28:13They're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:18Good morning.
00:30:20Good morning.
00:30:30Good morning.
00:30:40Come on.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:11...uh, American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from...
00:31:24...Treyfurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Lieutenant von Loesch.
00:31:36Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man...
00:31:47...Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt.
00:31:50Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:53Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:32:03When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Paul Schmidt asked his assistant, von Loesch...
00:32:14...to dispose of all the top secret papers...
00:32:17...which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21Dr. Paul Schmidt bought the vast majority.
00:32:22And von Loesch, duly burnt.
00:32:24The vast majority.
00:32:26Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:32:30Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:32:31Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Loesch kept back, there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations,
00:33:12in particular the relationship of Nazi High Command with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans, who are now insisting that this volume of Marburg
00:33:43files be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:26I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:44And this one, I hope you enjoy my future.
00:34:50There you go.
00:35:15Your royal highness, parent secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future, his royal highness.
00:36:07His royal highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the foreign secretary today.
00:36:38Who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15I'm counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:19Then, your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:38:00Your majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Oh, actually, I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one, and might be able
00:38:39to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated, not because I no longer wish
00:38:55to serve this country.
00:39:00Anyway, one or two ideas came up for jobs, which would require the blessing both of government
00:39:09and crown.
00:39:10Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given
00:39:15by government, and I've been assured of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner, working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British
00:39:48interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:02Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Why, sort of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government
00:41:00and pledging your support for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain
00:41:11where you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace
00:41:32was in complete agreement with your own point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:51Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed,
00:42:02that England and Germany should never be enemies again after the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him
00:42:18by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands,
00:42:25pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead,
00:42:34when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit,
00:42:42I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:54They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumors and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything all right?
00:43:29Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:31Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:38Goodness, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:46I think it's time that he'd be forgiven.
00:43:48Are you mad?
00:43:49You can't forgive that man.
00:43:51Why not?
00:43:52What he did to this country.
00:43:53Those were different times.
00:43:56He's explained all that to me.
00:43:58I bet he did.
00:44:00Philip.
00:44:03Forgiveness is very important to me.
00:44:06It's not often I say this,
00:44:08so perhaps if I do,
00:44:10you will take it seriously.
00:44:17Ask...
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you.
00:44:22What?
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:24And tell him of your proposed course of action.
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that.
00:44:28Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing.
00:44:32I'd go and see him.
00:44:33In an unofficial capacity.
00:44:35For sherry or tea.
00:44:37Or human blood,
00:44:38whatever that monster drinks.
00:44:40And ask him about your uncle.
00:44:43He was his private secretary while he was king.
00:44:45He knows everything there is to know.
00:44:47And he was killed.
00:45:02So,
00:45:02See you later.
00:45:03We'll take care of those people.
00:45:042,
00:45:042,
00:45:053,
00:45:053,
00:45:26your majesty tommy it's terribly inconvenient ah your meat battle yes ma'am now don't say anything
00:45:41ah yes those uniforms 19th century yes and that standard is duke of wellington very good ma'am so it's
00:45:53waterloo salamanca ah oh and these troops of sir edward pakenham's third infantry division
00:46:05very lovely did you have them made a gift ma'am from your grandfather when i was in his service
00:46:14shall we ma'am yes
00:46:25i'm proposing to let the duke of windsor back into public life
00:46:30and as an example of a christian in a christian country to forgive
00:46:39your majesty that would
00:46:42in my view be a mistake
00:46:48why
00:46:51before you make your decision ma'am i believe you should be in full possession
00:46:55of the facts i've read the marburg files so have i i said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more yes ma'am
00:47:09the duke of windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king
00:47:14surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier men such as carl the duke of sax coburg a renowned
00:47:22nazi he also shared classified allied documents with the duchess of windsor who was herself we
00:47:30believe sharing a bed forgive me ma'am with the german ambassador herr ribbentrump
00:47:54it became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried
00:48:02because then we had the application
00:48:09having promised to retire from public life we now know that he had no such intention
00:48:15why else would the pair of them decide to visit hitler in germany
00:48:29the fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit
00:48:32so it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of herr hess
00:48:39that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate
00:48:46the duke of windsor as king of england
00:48:49effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father
00:48:54in return for german forces being given free reign across europe
00:49:00german troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion
00:49:04if necessary and there were visits to ss training schools and early versions of the concentration camps
00:49:13now of course the full horrors were yet to come
00:49:16nonetheless he visited
00:49:27shall i continue ma'am
00:49:34when a german aircraft crashed in belgium carrying hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of france
00:49:41the duke wasted no time
00:49:42in letting his nazi friends know that allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information
00:49:49which gave germany time to change its plans
00:49:53and in less than a month
00:49:56paris fell to german occupation
00:49:59but perhaps worst of all
00:50:02the duke told the german government that resolve in the united kingdom in the face of the german aerial bombardment
00:50:09was weakening
00:50:10and that continued bombing
00:50:13that is the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects would i quote

00:52:08and i'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication
00:52:13you are permitted to return to united kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the sovereign
00:52:20yes

00:52:42that's why everyone's so thrilled with you
00:52:44the last royal to have a mind of his own was me and that's why they threw me out
00:52:48fine
00:52:50i will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage
00:52:58to the monarchy
00:52:59me with my
00:53:01willfulness
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes
00:53:10our ears
00:53:12to what was being said about you
00:53:15we dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications
00:53:18as cruel chatter
00:53:19in light of your decision to give up the throne
00:53:22but when the truth finally came out
00:53:25the truth
00:53:29it makes a mockery of even the central tenets of christianity
00:53:33there is no possibility of my forgiving you
00:53:36the question is
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself
00:53:40the truth
00:53:40i will kill myself
00:53:42our ears
00:53:43my ears
00:53:43and our ears
00:53:44and the elders
00:53:56the elders
00:53:57their ears
00:54:10they are
00:54:12Oh
00:54:28What's up?
00:54:29Morning, sir
00:54:32Good morning, sir.
00:54:33Good morning.
00:54:39We have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:33You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:22No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:37But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:48True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be un-Christian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Death.
