00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.
00:54Princess Diana in a strapless lilac chiffon gown printed with gold pattern receiving the attention.
01:00But it's the Prince's night, His Royal Highness celebrating his 37th birthday at this special gala event.
01:15The Prince's night is the Prince of Wales.
01:19Plan for age 730.
01:23The Prince's night is the Prince of Wales.
01:24And then there's no surprise, I'm feeling like this at this special gala event.

06:47she surprised him with a dance last night at the Opera House.
06:50Really?
06:51Full of high kicks and spins.
06:53Why did you never do that for me?
06:56Dance on your birthday?
06:58Yes.
06:59Like Salome.
07:01Because, if memory serves, you had your own ballerinas for that.
07:06Honestly.
07:09Rubbish you talk sometimes.
07:13It says here they're off to Switzerland skiing with friends.
07:17Perhaps their marriage has turned a corner.
07:20Now, much more importantly, who is Billy Joel?
07:24Billy Joel.
07:26Oh, Joel?
07:27Yes.
07:28Uptown girl.
07:31What are you talking about?
07:46Where are you?
07:57Oh.
08:04Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
09:17Right.
09:21Right.
09:22Obviously, the minute you can confirm anything.
09:25Anything at all.
09:26I need to see the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh immediately.
09:29Prince Charles has been caught in an avalanche at the Swiss resort of Closters.
09:34The Prince of Wales was skiing with a group of friends when the avalanche struck.
09:38There had been a warning of possible avalanches in the region after heavy snowfall.
09:43Rescue helicopters are attending the scene, but it is not known whether the Prince has survived.
09:48A desperate rescue operation is now underway.
09:52Efforts to locate the Prince continue.
09:55They were on the Haglomad, a notoriously challenging off-piste slope,
10:02when the avalanche struck.
10:04It seems that two of the party were hit and swept away.
10:10Why were they even skiing, if the conditions were dangerous?
10:13The conditions this morning were apparently ideal.
10:16And a male body has been found?
10:20Those are the first unconfirmed reports.
10:23Yes.
10:24Obviously, every effort possible is being made to identify the body,
10:28but should the unthinkable turn out to be true,
10:32and the Prince of Wales is, in fact, um...
10:39We have contingency plans in place for all members of the royal family.
10:43Menai Bridge is no exception.
10:47It's the codename for the death of the Prince of Wales.
10:50Thank you, Martin.
11:03Why bridges?
11:06We're all bridges.
11:08I'm London Bridge. Mummy's Tay Bridge.
11:10You're fourth bridge.
11:13The choice of name.
11:15Was to suggest a link between this life and...
11:19and the next.
12:13We've had it confirmed.
12:14The Prince of Wales is...
12:15safe, ma'am.
12:18Although, one of the guests, Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson,
12:21is still in intensive care,
12:23and the one fatality was Hugh Lindsay.
12:27Oh, no.
12:29His wife, our widow,
12:32works in the press office.
12:34Sarah.
12:36Hmm.
12:36If you wanted to send a letter.
12:38Of course.
12:45Martin?
12:47Yes, ma'am.
12:48Just to say,
12:50along with the coverage of His Royal Highness's near escape,
12:54we should also brace ourselves for more speculation
12:58about the Wales' marriage.
13:00It seems the Prince and Princess had not been on the best of terms
13:03prior to the accident,
13:05and we'd received reports of arguments and raised voices.
13:09Certain newspapers were about to run stories,
13:11and although we might expect a reprieve of a few days,
13:15given the circumstances,
13:17we can't expect it to last for long.
13:41The Prince and Princess of Wales
13:43are travelling back to Britain this afternoon
13:45following a devastating accident
13:47that has cut short their skiing holiday in Switzerland.
13:50On board their flight
13:51will be the body of Major Hugh Lindsay,
13:54a close friend of the couple
13:55who died in the avalanche yesterday.
13:58The Prince of Wales was himself
13:59only inches away from death.
14:20The Prince of Wales was T
14:31Oh, my God.
15:09You said you were on your way.
15:10Hello, darling.
15:15Oh, thank you.
15:17What have I done now?
15:19You, nothing.
15:20But as his sister and confidant,
15:22I thought you might throw some light on a subject
15:25about which I've been ostriching, rather.
15:27The true state of Charles' marriage.
15:29You don't want to know.
15:31Actually, I do.
15:35Tea?
15:36Yes, please.
15:58The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:02Please.
16:06All right.
16:10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl
16:12who fell madly in love with a handsome prince.
16:14Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else,
16:17who was herself in love with someone else,
16:19and they all lived unhappily ever after.
16:22That's it.
16:23In a nutshell, do you need more?
16:25A little.
16:26There's already a big age difference,
16:28but Charles is older than his years,
16:30and Diana is younger than hers,
16:31which makes it not an age gap, but an age chasm.
16:34On the face of it,
16:35they come from similar aristocratic backgrounds,
16:37but their personalities come from different planets.
16:40They have different interests,
16:42different friends.
16:43He doesn't understand her.
16:44She doesn't understand him.
16:46And considering all that,
16:47they've actually done remarkably well.
16:53But there comes a point in any failing marriage,
16:55and here I speak with some experience.
16:58When you realize there's no point in trying anymore,
17:00it's easier to just let the current take you away.
17:05And the minute Harry was born and duty was done,
17:07the marriage was effectively over,
17:09and they started to find comfort in the arms of others.
17:12How many others?
17:15Diana's been with her bodyguard,
17:17her riding instructor.
17:20And Charles?
17:22He's just been with one.
17:24He's also been a bit more discreet.
17:26The only people who know about Camilla are...
17:28Well, pretty much the old of Gloucestershire,
17:30who all seem to be involved in facilitating it.
17:33You can't conduct an extramarital affair
17:35without somewhere to meet, or sleep, or...
17:38Do you think?
17:39But Diana...
17:40Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace
17:42it's like a revolving door.
17:47Suitors.
17:47Park outside her office
17:48because it's the only place with no security cameras.
17:51One after another.
17:53In and out.
17:56In and out.
17:59Unfortunately, the Wales marriage is a rare example
18:02of something that is actually worse
18:03than the newspaper's report.
18:30So, the Queen...
18:34I was asked to see you in the princess of Wales at the earliest opportunity.
19:31I was asked to see you in the past.
20:01I was asked to see you in the past.
20:09I was asked to see you in the past.
20:23I was asked to see you in the past.
20:37I was asked to see you in the past.
21:01I was asked to see you in the past.
21:31I was asked to see you in the past.
22:01I was asked to see you in the past.
22:31I was asked to see you in the past.
23:05I was asked to see you in the past.
23:06Thank you, Nigel.
23:07Let's go.
23:33Mommy.
23:39Thank you both for coming.
23:46I asked you here today because word has reached me
23:48about the difficulties you're experiencing.
23:52But something as important as the marriage of the future monarch
23:56simply cannot be allowed to fail.
24:00Your marriage, all our marriages,
24:02are a reflection on the integrity of the crown.
24:06And if they show cracks that they cannot be relied upon,
24:10then the constancy and stability that the monarchy is supposed to represent
24:13is called into question too.
24:16So I would like to ask one fundamental question of you both.
24:21Does either of you no longer want this marriage to work?
24:37Well...
24:40Now that you mention it,
24:44I have given it all some thought.
24:47And...
24:48No! Wait!
24:54I still want to make this marriage work.
24:59With all my heart.
25:01Then why have you broken your vows, as I understand you have?
25:13Because...
25:16Sometimes...
25:18You don't know how you feel about something
25:21until you've nearly had it taken away.
25:25The moment I heard about the avalanche
25:27and the possibility that Charles might have...
25:31I can't even say it.
25:33In that instant,
25:35I felt an overwhelming emptiness
25:37and loss.
25:39And for the first time,
25:41I saw all the hurt and the pain
25:43that I'd been inflicting on you
25:45and you on me.
25:48And suddenly it all seemed so childish.
25:52So pointless.
25:56And do you understand what it takes
25:58to make a marriage work?
26:01The respect one must show the other party.
26:04The blind eyes one needs to turn.
26:07The arrangements both of you must come to.
26:11The freedoms both of you must respect.
26:14And the rules you must abide by.
26:19I am ready to commit to anything.
26:25To go to any lengths.
26:28And I want to say to you
26:31that I'm sorry
26:34for my part
26:38in everything.
26:41Good.
26:42Well, that's that then.
26:43What?
26:45Do I get a chance to speak?
26:49Say what?
26:52What?
26:54What else is there to say?
27:37It's a nightmare.
27:39Had the whole speech prepared
27:40and then out of nowhere
27:41Diana does that.
27:43Ambushes me like that.
27:45And mummy,
27:46you know her,
27:48so grateful the subject was over
27:50she couldn't get out of the room
27:51quickly enough.
27:53Well, I won't let this go.
27:55I spoke to my protection officers.
27:57They all know what she gets up to.
27:59And if anything happens,
28:01if Diana puts
28:01even the slightest foot wrong,
28:03if she even thinks
28:04about straying,
28:07they'll let me know.
28:23Major Hewitt's gone.
28:29I gave him the heave-ho.
28:33Everyone else, too.
28:35No more little flirtations.
28:37No more Plan Bs.
28:40All doors firmly shut.
28:46Any more telephone calls
28:47from Major Hewitt?
28:48Make sure to say I'm out.
28:50I don't want to hear from him.
28:54He can't just show up.
28:56He's not welcome here anymore.
28:58No.
28:59For the first time,
29:00things do feel different.
29:02I feel different.
29:03because I've realised
29:05how much I want
29:06to make this marriage work.
29:08And to that end,
29:09with our seventh anniversary coming up.
29:13Well,
29:14I've had some ideas.
29:18On the 21st,
29:21we have lunch
29:22at the Community Enterprise Trust
29:23in Hartlepool,
29:24followed by a turf-cutting ceremony
29:27at Hilton Colliery

29:30in Sunderland.
29:31What about the 22nd?
29:33A presentation of new colours
29:35to the 1st Battalion
29:36Gordon Highlanders
29:37at Fort George in Vanessa.
29:39I'm trying to find time
29:40for a weekend in Scotland
29:41with Mrs Parker Bulls.
29:42What about the 29th?
29:45That might be tricky.
29:47Why?
29:47I'm free the day before,
29:48not due back in Cornwall
29:49until the 2nd,
29:50which is a Tuesday.
29:51The 29th is your wedding anniversary, sir.
29:59Of course.
30:01As a matter of fact,
30:03the Princess of Wales
30:04made a point
30:05of requesting you be

30:07that weekend.
30:10She said she had
30:11something specific in mind.
30:14She said she scores
