00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:14Oh, what's that?

35:38in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho,
35:48of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:51Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:55The British press has caught on, with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59not since the first rumours of a romance
36:02between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson
36:06have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:12Go on.
36:13The Sunday Pictorial on its front page reminds its readers
36:18that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the world
36:21because it is a family.
36:24Time magazine has a headline, Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:27It goes on to say,
36:29Not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace
36:33unless have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily
36:36towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:00The Devil's Advocate might argue,
37:03and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:07that the Duke's early return,
37:09obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers
37:15and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:22And we don't want that.
37:25No.
37:33So what, then?
37:43What?
37:49Yes?
37:52The Admiral would like a woe, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56Tell him he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact,
37:59he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:30Come on.
38:39Admiral.
38:41Could you come in?
38:43Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch
38:47regarding your reunion photo call
38:49with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon
39:00a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06... are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07You've been quite specific
39:08for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:21Thank you, sir.
39:42Thank you, sir.
40:06Hi.
40:11Not that one.
40:12One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deference.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat, sir?
41:40We'll talk later.
41:43Shall we?
42:13How are you?
42:15How have you been for?
42:17I can't be a man, sir.
42:18And it's very exciting.
42:19For the world, it's going to level to quell rumors of a risk.
42:23I can't be a man.
42:46I can't be a man.
42:54The Queen of Edinburgh
42:58The Queen of Edinburgh
43:01Now the eyes of the world
43:03Turn towards the royal yacht
43:05On which they have sought shelter
43:09No, Clara, no, I see
43:10Thank you
43:21That was the palace press secretary
43:25In his view, the steps that we've taken
43:27The share we've put on
43:31The steps that we've taken haven't quite done the trick
43:37The rumours still haven't gone away
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this
43:59No
44:15So I thought we might take this opportunity
44:20Without children, without distraction
44:25To lay our cards on the table
44:29And talk frankly for once
44:32About what needs to change
44:34To make this marriage work
44:37All right
44:38Who goes first?
44:40Stupid question
44:41I've learned one thing by now
44:42It's that I go second
44:45If I am to go first
44:47That's where I'd start
44:52You're complaining
44:53My complaining?
44:54It's incessant
44:55Whining and whinging like a child
44:57Are you surprised?
44:59The way those god-awful moustaches that run the palace
45:01Continue to infantilise me
45:03Perhaps if you weren't behaving like an infant
45:04Giving me lists, sending me instructions
45:06Do this, don't do that
45:07Wear this, don't wear that
45:08Say this, don't say that
45:09Can you imagine anything more humiliating?
45:11Yes
45:12As a matter of fact, I can
45:16I've learned more about humiliation in the past few weeks
45:19Than I hoped I would in a lifetime
45:28I've never felt more alone than I have in the past five months
45:33And why do you think that was?
45:36And why do you think that was?
45:37Because of your behaviour
45:38Because you sent me away
45:39Yes, and why do you think that was?
45:41I don't know, you tell me
45:43Because you're lost
45:45You're lost in your role
45:46And you're lost in yourself
45:49Christ
45:52Look
45:54I realise
45:56That this marriage has turned out to be something quite different to what we both imagined
46:00Understatement
46:01And that we both find ourselves in a
46:04A
46:05Prison
46:09In a situation
46:12That is unique
46:15Our marriage is different to any other in the country because the exit route which is open to everyone else
46:21A divorce?
46:22Yes
46:23A divorce
46:26It's not an option for us
46:31Ever
46:44No
46:45No
46:55This...
46:56This restlessness of yours, it has to be a thing of the past
47:02It's what I need
47:05And it's what our family needs
47:10The monarchy is too fragile
47:11You keep telling me yourself
47:13One more scandal, one more national embarrassment and it would all be over
47:24So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in
47:29To be in
47:30Not out
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price
47:45I'm asking
47:48What it will take
48:02To make it work?
48:05To make it work
48:08To make it bearable
48:11I'll need the respect and acknowledgement of the dreaded moustaches
48:15Please stop calling them that
48:17I'll stop calling them that when they don't all have one
48:19An end to their snobbery and prejudice
48:22No more being sniffed at for being a foreigner with a background
48:25Nobody understands
48:26Will you earn their respect with your behaviour?
48:28No
48:28No
48:30I will earn their respect with the only thing those creatures understand
48:34A gesture, a statement, something irrefutable that shuts them up and commands their respect
48:38Right now, I am currently outranked by my eight year old son
48:42Yes, of course, he's the heir to the throne
48:54I am his father, Elizabeth
48:57I am his father, Elizabeth
48:57I am his father, Elizabeth
49:10Under the great seal of the realm
49:13Bearing the date of the 22nd of February, 1957
49:17To give and to grant
49:20Under his royal highness
49:22The Duke of Edinburgh
49:23The style and titular dignity
49:28Of a prince
49:29Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
49:31And more than other
49:36The Duke of Edinburgh
49:38The Duke of Edinburgh
49:38Shall henceforth be known
49:40As his royal highness
49:42The Prince Philip
49:44Duke of Edinburgh
50:12Thank you
52:38Michael.
52:40Do you have a moment?
52:42Of course not.
