00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:20It's about to think.
04:46I have a call from the Sunday Tariff at the Board.
04:48times a day, sir, regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy, and it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen, again and again, the same words came up. Irrelevant, old, expensive,
05:00out of touch. Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir. Really? Should I cover my
05:07ears? No, on the contrary. They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic, and when asked
05:16almost half believe you would make an excellent king and would support an early application by the
05:20Queen in your favour. And the story is running when? Sunday week, sir. When I'll be in Italy with the
05:31family. Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal. As you know, a big part of your
05:37appeal as future king is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen. Yes. So we've taken the liberty
05:43of
05:43briefing one or two friendly newspapers that it's a second honeymoon. Right.
06:08That's what they said. Those are the words they used. Second honeymoon.

11:37shopping it's possible some people might like to go shopping one day
11:40who show of hands would anyone apart from diana like to go shopping

13:34there it is again
13:35right i'm off
13:38one last day cutting ribbons in morecam
13:40then feet up for the summer
13:56as patron of the church urban fund
13:59i am aware of the vast challenges faced by this community and many others across the diocese
14:08the milk marketing board is among the most enduring and resilient of britain's commercial enterprises
14:15this state-of-the-art dairy complex is testament to the continuing vitality of british others
14:26it has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers
14:31representing a great 30 percent of the european freight market
14:36it is clear that intermodal containers are lancashire's ticket to a bright future
15:05how long has the pressure been down on that ground
15:21it shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart she's a creature of another age
15:28effectively a world war ii cruiser with soft furnishings
15:32in many ways she's obsolete
15:34don't say that
15:36what are the options
15:37well we've trouble with the main engine
15:39stubborn boilers out of service
15:43sentimentally i think we'd all prefer to stick with her
15:47i should say
15:48but we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best
15:54are you seeing the prime minister in balmoral next week
15:58yes he's coming with his wife dora
16:00no that's not right
16:03nora
16:05norma
16:05well you might want to bring it up with him then
16:08i'll talk to the admiral and come up with some figures
16:12but it's the first time i've started to consider the unthinkable
16:15what's that
16:16a replacement
16:20built in ad 27 by
16:25tiberius
16:26wow
16:27the most magnificent of world imperial residences here in capri
16:34some people say that tiberius escaped to capri
16:37because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court in rome
16:41not something i could ever understand
16:44but after a long successful career
17:07it's an extraordinary
17:09two people's understanding of fun
17:10could be so wholly different
17:20when they suggested to us
17:23diana and i that
17:25we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon
17:31i said to them you obviously weren't at the first one
17:34on britannia wasn't it
17:36yes
17:36i know the queen thinks the royal yacht is perfect in every way but as a
17:41an intimate space for newlyweds
17:43it's like a floating observation tank
17:47every
17:49awkward silence
17:52stilted conversation between bride and glue
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200 crew
18:17the irony is i'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy
18:21it seems to lift the rest of the world up
18:26when we're together in public
18:28i can't deny it is magical
18:30the perfect team
18:33yet in private
18:39listen to me
18:41after everything you've been through with your girl
18:47she let me comb her hair last week
18:50first time since it's grown back

23:06well to say the article has had an impact
23:08would be an understatement
23:10it's provoked significant debate
23:12on radio and television
23:13with one particular phrase
23:15getting most attention
23:16queen victoria syndrome
23:18yes i saw that
23:23an aging monarch
23:25too long on the throne
23:26whose remoteness from the modern world
23:28has led people to grow
23:29tired not just of her
23:31but of the monarchy itself
23:36any reaction from the queen
23:38my understanding is she hasn't seen it
23:40that they've kept it from her
23:42to protect her feelings
23:45doesn't that tell you everything
23:51i'd like you to arrange a meeting
23:53with the prime minister
23:54as soon as we're back
23:56you'll think of her suitable pretext
24:06look it's a whale
24:08where
24:11oh good spot
24:15no look at the way it's surfacing
24:17it's a minky
24:18probably smell it before we see it again
24:20if we get any closer
24:22their blue smells of rotten cabbages
24:24a stinky minky
24:33oh there she is
24:36bladder
24:38there
24:42oh yes
24:44like a bulrush out of a pond
24:47isn't she a beauty
24:49you say so dear
24:53it's one of the last manned lighthouses in scotland
24:58why don't we pay her a visit
24:59really
25:00must we
25:00come on
25:01a bit of exercise is good for the figure
25:03at our age the weight does not stay off by itself
25:06come on
25:07no
25:38people wonder why i find lighthouses so inspiring
25:41when you get to a place like this
25:55new inquiry
25:57tim
25:58no he's been with us for a while
26:03what come i never noticed
26:06because you're married

26:12what's he like
26:14reliable
26:16sensible
26:17agreeable
26:18hmm
26:20i think we ought to get back to lighthouses
26:25those beacons of light
26:26in an otherwise black and hopeless night
26:30that reassure the lonely mariner they are not forgotten
26:34and we'll soon find land and home
26:38and hope
26:56it appears that there's has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday
27:01clash of diaries i understand
27:02what
27:03his principal wells is due to give a lecture at university
27:06there won't be any sharks
27:10what's this about us going home
27:13it turns out there's a
27:15a diary conflict
27:17through no fault of mine and i have to get back
27:20you're supposed to be here for two weeks
27:21yes i know
27:22don't ever
27:23the plans change
27:24i have a commitment at oxford university
27:27it isn't the university
27:30it's a summer school for tourists it's not essential
27:32it is to me
27:36this is our holiday
27:39it's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family
27:42and i know you struggle with that sort of thing
27:44which is why i agreed to bringing your friends along to entertain you
27:48and i even agreed to do the photo call today
27:50requested by your people so the lie could be paraded to the world's media
27:53about what an adoring husband you are on one condition
27:55what's that
27:56that you actually are one
27:59what's that meaning
28:00what's that meaning
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:11Prime Minister.
30:13Your Royal Highness.
30:15So kindly you should come.
30:16Sir.
30:20Before we begin, I wonder, did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we were meeting?
30:25I don't believe so, sir.
30:27Probably for the best.
30:36There are two reasons I asked if I could see you today.
30:40The first, conserving our built heritage.
30:44I wonder, did you receive the copy of my book?
30:46I did.
30:48I don't suppose you found time to flick through it.
30:50Knowing we were meeting today, I made a point of it.
30:53Reading it, I'm sure you thought, what an old fogey.
30:58How stuck in the past he is with his loathing of modernism and change.
31:04Not at all.
31:05Why?
31:07I, you'd have been right to.
31:09I am fixated by the past, by tradition, preserving it, conserving it.
31:17But none of us is exclusively one thing.
31:19Human beings are too interesting for that.
31:22You yourself are full of fascinating contradictions.
31:25Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton, a multicultural, working-class part of London,
31:30one might have expected you either to have concealed your past in order to fit in with the Tories
31:35or to have a more socialist viewpoint and become a rising star in the Labour Party.
31:40I have never felt that because of my background I should not be a Conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:45You not only refuse to deny your contradictions, you don't see them as contradictions.
31:52I don't.
31:53Which makes you a far more interesting, more complex, more impressive person.
32:02And I hope that the same can be said of me.
32:09Which brings me to the second reason for our meeting.
32:12You saw the, uh, the recent poll and Sunday Times article about the Queen.
32:20I did.
32:22Queen Victoria's Syndrome.
32:27What were your conclusions?
32:31It's just a poll, sir.
32:34True.
32:36Not a reassuring one.
32:38Polls come and go.
32:40Dangerous to ignore them.
32:42Equally dangerous to be guided by them.
32:55There must have been many polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure.
33:03I'm sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever, but what makes the Conservative Party the successful
33:09electoral force that it is?
33:11Its instinct for renewal and its willingness to make way for someone younger.
33:19For almost 60 years, my great-great-grandfather, Edward VII, was kept waiting in the wings.
33:29It was said that Queen Victoria had no confidence in him, thought him dangerous, free-thinking.
33:38He longed to be given responsibilities, but his mother refused.
33:44Even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came, he proved his doubters wrong, and his dynamism, his intellect, his popular appeal made
33:57his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying, what a pity it was.
34:06What a waste.
34:08That his voice, his presence, his vision, wasn't incorporated earlier.
34:16It would have been so good.
34:19For everybody.
34:30You're coming to Balmoral, to the Gillies Ball?
34:34Yes.
34:35Very much looking forward to it.
34:39Well, then you'll have an opportunity to, uh, judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about so
34:49deeply
34:54is in safe hands.
35:02And now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations.
35:29Well, then you'll have an opportunity to, uh, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
35:52come on, come on.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, then, every discipline is here.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:05Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We have, and I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
36:11Hi, mummy.
36:13We had a lovely morning.
36:15We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty?
36:21Doesn't she look pretty, mummy?
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am.
36:37I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the royal yacht.
36:46What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the charge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:32Come on, Wilton.
37:34Come on, Wilton.
37:36Wilton.
37:38Wilton.
37:43Wilton.
37:51Wilton.
37:53Hold on.
37:54Let's go.
38:22Good job.
38:51Good job.
39:31Good job.
39:45Wonderful way to decompress.
39:48And, as my great-great-grandmother, who started the Western Isles tour, said,
39:53let time slow down so that one breathes freedom and peace,
39:58making one forget the world and its sad turmoil.
40:09I am aware the comparison between Queen Victoria and me has been made recently in the newspapers
40:14and intended as criticism.
40:17What people fail to understand is I see any similarity with Queen Victoria as a compliment.
40:23Attributes people use to describe her.
40:26Constancy.
40:28Stability.
40:29Calm.
40:30Duty.
40:30I would be proud to have described me.
40:34And speaking of the royal yacht, it has now become clear that a small refit, teeny tiny little refreshment
40:41and refurbishment is required to keep her in tip-top shape.
40:45I am aware the costs for its maintenance are borne by the government, not by the palace.
40:50And so here I am, coming to you, Prime Minister, on bended knee for the sign-off.
40:57But I'm hoping that will be a formality.
41:05I'm just mindful that before she left office,
41:08Mrs. Thatcher bequeathed the palace an extremely generous civil list settlement.
41:14A deal that leaves the royal family richer than ever before.
41:19Given that this deal was designed precisely to forestall any awkward public debate on royal spending,
41:26I feel bound to at least raise the question of whether there's a way you might consider bearing the cost
41:33yourselves.
41:35It's just with the royal yacht being perceived as something of a luxury,
41:39there is a danger the palace could be seen to be asking for too much.
41:43But she isn't a luxury.
41:45Isn't she?
41:45Prime Minister, there has always been a royal yacht going all the way back to King Charles II.
41:51She is a central and indispensable part of the way the Crown serves the nation.
41:57And the revenue she has generated doing so is incalculable.
42:00But we're in the midst of a global recession.
42:02Each penny of public spending is closely scrutinized.
42:08I worry that the government spending public money on the refurbishment of a yacht might backfire.
42:17On us both.
42:26When I came to the throne, all my palaces were inherited.
42:32Windsor, Balmoral, Sandringham.
42:35They all bear the stamp of my predecessors.
42:38Only Britannia have I truly been able to make my own.
42:43Perhaps for that reason, the connection between me and the yacht is very much deeper than a mode of transport
42:49or even a home.
42:52From the design of the Hull, the smallest piece of China, she is a floating, seagoing expression of me.
43:07I hope we can agree that as sovereign, I have made very few requests, let alone demands, in return of
43:13the service I have given this country.
43:16Perhaps the reason I have held back is in the hope that when I actually do, people don't just take
43:22it seriously.
43:23They do as I ask, without question.
43:27So, I would like this government's reassurance, your reassurance, that the costs for the refurbishments will be met.
43:34And for you to inform me as soon as the arrangements are in place.
43:41I understand.
43:46Now, the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask, are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine into an independent European country.
43:58They want to break away from Moscow, to turn their back on the leadership of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West in a bid to earn hard currency.
44:19The other Soviet republics have...
44:27And I'm ready to disappear.
44:29Go,ć»is up.
44:34Go,ć»is up.
44:37Come, in.
45:28Our Majesty, the Queen!
45:43Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:45The honour would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You lose my faith.
45:54I'm in there.
45:55I do.
45:57You're great.
45:57I'm in there.
45:59Here we go.
46:19But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the royal yacht to a cost-benefit
46:25equation. It's offensive. Oh yes, I know, repairs are an economic inconvenience, but I would argue
46:32a minor one next to the yacht's enduring role as a national symbol and her importance to the queen
46:40personally. Boys, say good night to Mr. Major. Good night. Good night, sir. Good night.
47:09Some local history for you if you're interested. Of course. Queen Victoria held the first Gillies
47:16Ball in 1852 and there's been one every year since. I see. It began as a thank you to the
47:26gamekeepers
47:27and other servants and has since developed into something of a Saturnalia, if you know your classics.
47:36But the rules are turned upside down for a day. Masters serving slaves and all disciplinary measures suspended for the
47:45night.
47:57I was just telling the Prime Minister that these things can get quite giddy. Not that I ever
48:03witness any of it. I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed. Can I count on
48:07you for a full report
48:08in the morning? You can, Your Majesty. Good night. Can we slip away? Our Majesty the Queen!
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today. I know I shouldn't ask, but,
48:42uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:47Sir? The, uh, the refit to Britannia. That is what she asked you for. Sir?
48:56Sometimes these old things are too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:10I can't. Not yet.
49:12Will you dance with me before I scream?
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow back to normality.
49:22Now I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you just had a lovely family holiday. You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of a family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:35And look. Anne and Mark. Look at Andrew and Sarah. Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:57And then...
50:01Piss!
50:04Representation in here.
50:06This is what we've done.
50:20What do you mean?
50:21No.
50:21Right!
50:22You're off the...
50:23You're off the...
50:24You're off the...
50:25You're off the...
50:27Fuck!
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with as Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs, the economy in freefall, going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be binding the nation together.
51:03Setting an example of idealized family life.
51:07Instead, the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals.
51:18Feckless.
51:20Entitled.
51:21Lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales, impatient for a bigger role in public life, fails to appreciate that his one great
51:31asset is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
51:51On my watch.
51:53On my watch.
52:14On my watch.
52:23On my watch.
52:39Oh!
52:39I'm out.
52:40Don't force me.
52:40To me, profane, I don't know.
52:40Oh!
52:43I'm out.
52:43Oh, my gosh.
