00:00:00You
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:24Let's go.
00:02:31We got something.
00:02:37I don't know.
00:03:17I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice,
00:03:48and 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.
00:04:53Okay, let's go.
00:05:16Don'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.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day, Winston.
00:06:33Ever.
00:06:34The publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest.
00:06:41What 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-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:29Now, the Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all gone astray.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way, and when you turn to your own way...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely. A 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.
00:09:04Well, there's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:07But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:12Now, 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
00:09:25and live 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.
00:09:35Hope 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.
00:09:46When you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way,
00:09:51you will soon prefer your own ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good,
00:10:01and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear true love.
00:10:22Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, dear true love.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Brother.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:43Ah!
00:10:50No!
00:10:53It's me, it's me!
00:10:55No, I don't.
00:10:58Where's your cap?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:16Ah!
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique!
00:11:22Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:25Fique.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:43I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48So, thank you.
00:11:58So, thank you.
00:12:00So, thank you.
00:12:03Thank you so much.
00:12:09Thank you so much.
00:12:09There is just another one.
00:12:09What's your life here?
00:12:12I don't like it.
00:12:13Oh, no.
00:12:13That's so much.
00:12:14I love it.
00:12:15Oh!
00:12:16I can't see you again.
00:12:17And then you so much fear it together.
00:12:18And then it's true.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me. The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past eleven, then inspected the gardens, then 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, but 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 is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:38Not this again.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I 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, who 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?
00:14:59The 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 and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, though, ma'am,
00:15:26that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37...crusades, which 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.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:47It's, um, His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has 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.
00:16:53Morning.
00:16:53Morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05Albert?
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:08Yes, ma'am.
00:17:08Yes, ma'am.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:30Oh.
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.
00:18:03That'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
00:18:12if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches,
00:18:27let us hope the rest of the trip
00:18:30is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing
00:18:34due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too.
00:18:39common and uninteresting people,
00:18:41pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London,
00:18:49my mood was lifted slightly
00:18:51by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen,
00:19:00sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening,
00:19:08I feared things would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house
00:19:14somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:27But George excelled,
00:19:29as ever,
00:19:30and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:33Of course,
00:19:33the true purpose of the visit
00:19:34can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any
00:19:37job hunting by His Royal Highness,
00:19:39it might be seen as a
00:19:41violation of the agreement
00:19:42made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness
00:19:45might find himself
00:19:46not only being asked
00:19:47to leave the country,
00:19:48but also without a pension.
00:19:51So,
00:19:52this trip must be perceived
00:19:54first and foremost
00:19:55as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding,
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications
00:20:10are most encouraging.
00:20:11Walter Monckton
00:20:13has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses
00:20:15from Lord Salisbury,
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook,
00:20:18Lord Dudley,
00:20:18the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the Foreign Secretary,
00:20:22Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh,
00:20:24Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold
00:20:27a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh,
00:20:29dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Thank you very much.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and 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
00:21:20in a hideous shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:24A box,
00:21:25the one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Airbrushes,
00:21:30floorbrushes,
00:21:32toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about
00:21:36what to preach about today,
00:21:37I considered various topics
00:21:40which speak to me personally,
00:21:41but I thought that I would start
00:21:43with a simple question.
00:21:47What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us,
00:21:51Colossians 1.27 says,
00:21:53that a Christian is a person
00:21:55in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:00The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have
00:22:04a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ
00:22:13as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:28You do speak with such wonderful
00:22:30clarity 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,
00:22:39I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves
00:22:43at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world,
00:22:49we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide it.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01Well, the great joy that I felt today
00:23:04was that of being a simple congregant,
00:23:07being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican church,
00:23:11in terms of rank,
00:23:12even 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,
00:23:29to be able to just disappear
00:23:31and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things,
00:23:42I do think of myself
00:23:43as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living
00:23:49that root me,
00:23:51guide me,
00:23:53define 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,
00:24:09I have to say that I find that
00:24:11very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time
00:24:16I ever spoke in public,
00:24:18I was 12 years old
00:24:19at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother
00:24:23he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things,
00:24:27I had a gift.
00:24:33You just listened.
00:24:35Goodbye.
00:24:43Bye.
00:24:44Bye.
00:24:45Bye.
00:24:46Bye.
00:24:48Bye.
00:24:50Bye.
00:24:51Bye.
00:24:53Bye.
00:24:54Bye.
00:25:29I have no 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.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:02Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:08Principled 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?
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:34Dear Botherham.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Botherham, thank you so much.
00:26:37We 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
00:26:51act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:27:00That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my Council of War.
00:27:05My brains trust of 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
00:27:18of the war, in a liaising role between us and the French, and I 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, helping boost our
00:27:39much-needed dollar reserves, a man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being
00:27:47a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen, the whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier, the 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, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:20My 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
00:28:31me.
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.
00:28:42But all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving the American evangelist
00:28:49here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country?
00:28:53Turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their inspiration.
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
00:29:26can truthfully say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennett, the senior historian in
00:29:57part of publishing the German war files, who informed me that this government was now left
00:30:04with no choice but to publish certain material, which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill,
00:30:10and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:42The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man, Hitler's personal translator, was Dr. Schmid, Dr. Paul Schmid.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:03When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmid asked his assistant, von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in
00:32:19archives.
00:32:22And von Lersch had duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material, hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back, there was one file...
00:33:09pertaining to anglo-german relations in particular relationship of nazi high command
00:33:16with 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 that's your lot unaware that a copy had been sent to
00:33:33the americans who are now insisting that this volume of marburg files
00:33:45be published and this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country
00:33:57i hope you have a strong stomach
00:34:07so
00:34:42I don't know.
00:35:14I don't know.
00:35:43I don't know.
00:36:00I don't know.
00:36:03I don't know.
00:36:06His royal highness.
00:36:07His royal highness.
00:36:38I don't know.
00:37:09I don't know.
00:37:15I don't know.
00:37:16Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again, your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:37:59Your majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes.
00:38:12That color was me.
00:38:14French gray.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:26Oh, 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.
00:38:38And might be able to 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.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway.
00:39:02One or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:10Of course, before coming here and bothering you,
00:39:13I made sure the support would be given by government.
00:39:16And I've been assured of that support.
00:39:18Support for what jobs?
00:39:21Well, 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,
00:39:30Gatwin 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,
00:39:43working with the Commonwealth Relations Office
00:39:46to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think,
00:39:51as it specializes in the practical side
00:39:53of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:00Well,
00:40:02I'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
00:40:17while you were in Lisbon,
00:40:19during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:29Which American historians,
00:40:31supported by the French and the British,
00:40:34are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:42Letters.
00:40:42Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship
00:40:48with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940,
00:40:55it states that you were considering publicly
00:40:58going against the government
00:41:00and pledging your support for peace with Germany,
00:41:02thereby breaking with my father, the King.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support,
00:41:08the German government offered you a home in Spain
00:41:11where you could wait out the rest of the war
00:41:13in peace and safety
00:41:15while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas
00:41:18as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas
00:41:23because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers,
00:41:29you're quoted as saying
00:41:30that the Führer's desire for peace
00:41:32was in complete agreement
00:41:35with your own point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king, I was committed to the idea,
00:42:00passionately committed,
00:42:02that England and Germany should never be enemies again
00:42:05after the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication
00:42:10of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones
00:42:16that made a monster of him
00:42:18by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands.
00:42:24They're grandstands.
00:42:25They pat themselves on the back
00:42:27for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war.
00:42:32Millions 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.
00:42:49Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:24What do you think?
00:43:25Everything all right?
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of 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 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.
00:44:18Ask 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.
00:44:32Then go and see him in an unofficial capacity
00:44:35for sherry or tea.
00:44:37Or human blood, whatever 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.
00:45:05You can't wait.
00:45:29You can't wait.
00:45:29He's happily gonna leave the hall.
00:45:31He's still worried.
00:45:33You can't wait.
00:45:34That's close to him.
00:45:35Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:43It's those uniforms.
00:45:45Nineteenth century?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is the Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:53So is Waterloo.
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:58Oh.
00:46:00And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:15Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:16Yes.
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.
00:46:35To forgive.
00:46:39Your Majesty, that would...
00:46:42In my view...
00:46:44Be a mistake.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:51Before you make your decision, ma'am,
00:46:53I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:57I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:59So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:06Yes, 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.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor,
00:47:28who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive me, ma'am,
00:47:33with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
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 Führer labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:32So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip at the home of Herr Hess that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England.
00:48:50Effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe.
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion if necessary.
00:49:06And 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 in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information,
00:49:50which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And in less than a month, Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all, the Duke told the German government that resolve in the United Kingdom in the face
00:50:08of the German aerial bombardment was weakening.
00:50:10And that continued bombing, that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects,
00:50:18would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:30away...
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:02From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:15God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now you may be out with Legion T.
00:51:20We're fine, coaching, a church member, a good standing in the community.
00:51:25But it's your heart, heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you.
00:51:42And weighing it all up.
00:51:45The amount of time that has passed.
00:51:49And my affection for you, personally, all spoke in its favor.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:09that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who's fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your mother?
00:52:34No.
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's?
00:52:38I came to my own mind.
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own.
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and 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 to the monarchy,
00:52:59me with my willfulness,
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?
00:53:40What do you think is a judge of your own behavior?
00:53:53I will see you with a moment when the truth is
00:53:54pressed the mirror.
00:53:54But now if we do not promise it is
00:54:00because it is efficient.
00:54:01You are the need of ourselves.
00:54:01I am the need of direction.
00:54:01No need of the need.
00:54:02You do not fear nothing but
00:54:03for all of some predators.
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39We have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:29Your majesty?
00:55:33You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do 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?
00:56:04Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:20Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:38But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
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.
00:57:00We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:16The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
