00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:51It's not a head.
00:02:53It's not a head.
00:02:54It's not a head.
00:03:03It's not a head.
00:03:04It's not a head.
00:03:08It's not a head.
00:03:09It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:10It's not a head.
00:03:11It's not a head.
00:03:12It's not a head.
00:03:13It's not a head.
00:03:16It's not a head.
00:03:18It's not a head.
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandring.
00:04:49I believe you'd give me the all-clear to shoot.
00:04:51Consider a given.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am. Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vinicius Scott. I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right. She's with me.
00:05:08Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:42Um...
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Who is that?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on. Be candid.
00:06:12It is said...
00:06:14you can be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster. Did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true.
00:06:21But you need to be a monster to defeat Hitler.
00:06:24Ah.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What's in it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray vision,
00:06:34you will need to open it,
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America?
00:06:53Or the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:57Then, start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed.
00:07:02If you hear no response,
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:10What?
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited is worse than 1949.
00:07:26And in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in sterling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimates...
00:07:41suggest that in 1952,
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between
00:07:48five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:00for recovery.
00:08:02the American
00:08:02The American
00:08:03The American
00:08:03of the United Kingdom.
00:08:07The American
00:08:08of the United Kingdom.
00:08:12The American
00:08:12Either we get
00:08:13with it now,
00:08:14or we lose the next election,
00:08:16and quite possibly lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:19You must act, Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger,
00:08:23more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader.
00:08:34And he became party leader
00:08:37on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:43Then you must go and see
00:08:44the one person who can.
00:09:14and let it rip offì „
00:09:38Hello.
00:09:40Are these things for me?
00:09:42Thank you very much.
00:09:53so apparently there's a large breeding herd of elephants at treetops so we've got to get
00:09:58there early not too early I hope what else have you got in mind for our little holiday
00:10:08why does everybody think just because we're royal we like fine dining don't they realize
00:10:13we're savages good for nothing but school to listen nursery food it's all right you can use
00:10:18your fingers look let's stop watch
00:10:37your old highness kiss me
00:10:44come on
00:10:47his majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m
00:11:11good afternoon sir good afternoon
00:11:15his majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at beaches club today
00:11:22no not at all still rather wet underfoot I'm afraid after the storms yesterday but we can
00:11:27provide you with wellington boots there's no need to worry what size are you sir nine and a half
00:11:34though my riding boots are a 10 and my trench boots were an 11
00:11:40make of that what you will
00:11:53much of this is just a function of age
00:11:58focus is almost entirely on issues relating to america and the soviet union so important domestic
00:12:06matters
00:12:08are falling behind
00:12:16what do you suggest i do well sovereign of course there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint
00:12:26but as a friend as albert winsor you are the one person i can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen
00:12:38well that is where we are from
00:12:40well that is what is i'm afraid but i no longer am albert winsor
00:12:47well that person was murdered by his elder brother
00:12:53when he abdicated and of course albert winsor would dearly love to say to his old friend winston
00:13:00and churchill take a step back put your feet up let the younger generation have a go
00:13:09but he is no longer with us and that void has been filled by george the sixth who it turns
00:13:18out is
00:13:18quite the stickler and no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office
00:13:29himself
00:13:30even when it's in the national interest sir the national interests or anthony
00:13:36the reason i agreed to grant you an audience
00:13:55not to hear your grievances

00:14:10as sovereign i do have the right to be consulted
00:14:15to encourage
00:14:17to warm
00:14:19it is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time
00:14:27and have high office thrust upon you when you are not ready

00:27:01If you mean the new queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05Then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the governor in Nairobi.

00:28:43They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news of the princess?
00:28:47No, sir.
00:28:48Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:29:00God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All they have to do is make sure the fan's off and wait.
00:29:10No!
00:29:11Stop!
00:29:13She's just...
00:29:14She's overheated.
00:29:15No, can I have that?
00:29:17All you have to do...
00:29:21Is wait.

00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:02Hmm?
00:33:25The profound sense of personal grief felt
00:33:29amongst his people today stems from their respect.
00:33:32I know it happened.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:38I should be the one to tell her.
00:33:57I should be the one to tell her.
00:34:00I should be the one to tell her.
00:34:08I should be the one to tell her.
00:34:33The king, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in
00:34:39his sleep.
00:34:39The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the royal family.
00:35:04There is no answer to her as well.
00:35:04There is no one having fun of her.
00:35:04I think that is a key to her.
00:35:05The children will be the one to tell her.
00:35:28I don't know.
00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process, it may distress you.
00:36:14You're wrong, Linus.
00:36:24You're wrong, Linus.
00:36:40Linus.
00:36:44Linus.
00:36:46Linus.
00:36:57Linus.
00:36:59Linus.
00:37:00Linus.
00:37:05Linus.
00:37:08Linus.
00:37:17Linus.
00:37:29Linus.
00:37:30Linus.
00:37:31Linus.
00:37:33Linus.
00:37:47It's all right.
00:37:56You're not going.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:01It's all right.
00:38:09May I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress.
00:38:27We've called ahead to London and something will be brought onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:34And a word of warning, ma'am.
00:38:38A good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondents mostly.
00:38:47Assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:51Should I say something?
00:38:53No, that won't be necessary.
00:38:56Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am.
00:39:04Your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as queen.
00:39:10Your father took George.
00:39:12Obviously his name is, was, Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward.
00:39:23Of course, his name was David.
00:39:24What's wrong with my name?
00:39:27What's wrong with my name?
00:39:34Well, then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:44Then long live queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:11Well, then, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:15Ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:24I'm sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:28Sir, I'm sorry about her.
00:40:35The dress, ma'am.
00:40:36I'm sorry about her.
00:40:46Sir, I'm sorry about her.
00:40:52I'm sorry about her.
00:40:56Goodbye.
00:40:56Now.
00:41:27Now.
00:41:57Now.
00:42:26Now.

00:48:32was tommy lassells he's stuck in the land that time for gold
00:48:41you asked to see me sir
00:48:44i did
00:48:52i'd assumed that following the death of his late majesty you would at the earliest appropriate
00:48:59moment
00:49:01be resuming your duties with the royal air force
00:49:03yes sir
00:49:07i mentioned this to the queen
00:49:10the queen mother this morning who then asked me quite unusually to ask you whether you might like
00:49:17to reconsider such a departure
00:49:20sir
00:49:20she felt that you had enjoyed an uncommonly close association with her late husband and earned not
00:49:27just his trust the trust and affection of the whole family thank you sir in the light of this she
00:49:33wondered whether you might consider staying on in a new role as controller of the queen mother's household
00:49:41i see
00:49:41a kind and generous offer as befits the widow of a kind
00:49:47and generous man
00:49:51but while i'm sure you're greatly flattered i don't expect you to accept the post
00:49:55hence my discouragement of the offer i didn't want her majesty to suffer the embarrassment of a
00:50:00refusal
00:50:01why would i not accept sir
00:50:04you're asking the wrong question townsend why would you
00:50:08you're a decorated war hero still in your prime
00:50:11controller of the queen mother's household has no military associations
00:50:15would take you away from your wife and children
00:50:18after all the person with whom you enjoyed the uncommonly close understanding is deceased
00:50:30unless i'm missing something unless there is someone else with whom you enjoy an uncommonly close
00:50:37understanding which would make accepting this post more attractive
00:50:43i don't know what you're referring to sir don't you group captain townsend husband and father
00:51:03you're probably telling yourself that because no one has confronted you about it that no one can know
00:51:10allow me to disabuse you of that delusion
00:51:14within the close community of those that serve the family i regret to tell you
00:51:20the talk ugly talk unbecoming tittle tattle is a little else now i'm well aware of the toll
00:51:28that round the clock service takes on the private lives of those that serve i am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings generated by continued close proximity to the people you're working for but
00:51:42i would hate you to mistake those feelings for anything else
00:51:58will you thank the queen mother for her kind offer
00:52:06i should be delighted to accept there's no rush take your time to think it over 72 hours
00:52:15a week i want you to make the right decision i already have sir the answer is yes
00:52:43i want you to make the right decision i have to stay with me
00:52:59I
00:53:00Make a good time
00:53:18Your majesty I've been asked to give you this
00:53:22And this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary
00:53:24Thank you
00:53:29Thank you, Chargerous
00:53:31I'll take over from here
00:53:39Thank you, Martin
00:53:40Thank you, sir
00:53:46Your Majesty
00:53:49Martin
00:54:11Dearest Lilibet
00:54:13I know how you loved your papa, my son
00:54:17And I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss
00:54:23But you must put those sentiments to one side now
00:54:26For duty calls
00:54:29The grief for your father's death will be felt far and wide
00:54:34Your people will need your strength and leadership
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal indulgences from duty
00:54:52You must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes
00:54:57And while you mourn your father
00:55:00You must also mourn someone else
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten
00:55:06For she has now been replaced by another person
00:55:10Elizabeth Regina
00:55:16The two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another
00:55:22The fact is
00:55:25The crown must win
00:55:30Must always win
00:55:37Ready, man
00:55:38It's all right
00:55:39I'll escort it out from here
00:55:40No, sir
00:55:41If you don't mind
00:55:42The crown takes precedence
00:55:44No, sir
00:55:55No, sir
00:56:05No, sir
00:56:06You saw your father
00:56:07You met your father
00:56:07Yeah
00:56:09Yes, sir
00:56:10No, sir
00:56:11No, sir
00:56:13No, sir
00:56:14No
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:20Shocking, shocking.
00:56:36This is London.
00:56:39Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives, which resounded far and wide.
00:57:30Stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life.
00:57:37And made countless millions of human beings around the world pause and look around them.
00:57:50The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:06Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother.
00:58:31I lived through every minute of this struggle.
00:58:36With a heart that never quavered.
00:58:40And a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport.
00:59:06And after a good night to those who loved him best, he fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I,
01:00:14did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:32On the edge of catastrophe.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era, may well feel a
01:00:53thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the queen.
01:01:08God save the queen.
01:01:10God save the queen.
01:01:11God save the queen.
01:01:14God save the queen.
01:01:21God save the queen.
