00:00:01Let's go.
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.
00:02:23Let's go.
00:02:29Come on.
00:02:33Let's go.
00:02:35Let's go.
00:02:37Let's go.
00:03:02I don't know.
00:03:29I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:02Get it translated.
00:04:21Let's see how good it is.
00:04:24Let's see how good it is.
00:04:54Let's see how good it is.
00:05:07Let's see how good it is.
00:05:24Let's see how good it is.
00:05:40Let's see how good it is.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:30Let's see how good it is.
00:06:42What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:06:56Let's see how good it is.
00:07:04Let's see how good it is.
00:07:33Let's see how good it is.
00:07:46Let's see how good it is.
00:07:54It will be threatened.
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 Gray.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:30The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong. We have all got a strength. With everyone turned to his
00:08:40own way, and when you turn to your own...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:47He's not young. He's my age. Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little knife experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:04What? 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. Now 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 and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope. Hope for the individual. Hope for society. Hope
00:09:38for the world.
00:09:38Turning out in droves for an American zealot. He's not a zealot. He's shouting, darling, any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Trooper. Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper. Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:36Well done.
00:10:50Now that I'm losing.
00:10:53It's me. It's me.
00:10:55No, I don't mind.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique! Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no, I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:59Longer, go!
00:12:02At least.
00:12:08I don't like it.
00:12:12I don't think of them.
00:12:16If you see something about you, I can't wait.
00:12:20I could've seen.
00:12:21I can't wait a minute.
00:12:21Of course.
00:12:21No, no, no, no.
00:12:22I can't wait.
00:12:22I can't wait.
00:12:22You were in the middle of the old school.
00:12:51Would you like to know what my day consisted of today?
00:12:56Don't tell me.
00:12:57The same as every other day.
00:12:59I rose late, past 11, then inspected the gardens.
00:13:03And 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 Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:28I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
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.
00:14:38The start 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?
00:14:58The 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, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived
00:15:32as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His 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.
00:16:07Oh.
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 the 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.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, 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...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:27All bad?
00:17:29Take a look at this.
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.
00:18:02That'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 if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches, let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:35The company on the boat was dreadful, too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people, pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse.
00:19:11As we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Lucy.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:26Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba, dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:56I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign.
00:20:07Gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador.
00:20:20And the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
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 and 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 in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as 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 clarity 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, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me, above me, above 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, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define 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, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I've spoken public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:25:16Thank you, Mark.
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,
00:25:41the 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.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled 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?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Water, thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend,
00:26:44His Royal Highness,
00:26:46in his quest
00:26:48to find
00:26:49a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into
00:26:54a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all
00:27:02my
00:27:03council of war,
00:27:05my
00:27:05my brains trust
00:27:06of
00:27:08politicians,
00:27:09artists
00:27:09and
00:27:09philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military,
00:27:12perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a
00:27:15major general
00:27:15attached to the
00:27:16British military mission
00:27:17in France
00:27:18at the beginning of the war
00:27:19in a liaising role
00:27:20between us and the French
00:27:21and I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position
00:27:23within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well,
00:27:26what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote
00:27:28Britain's economic
00:27:29interests aboard.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man
00:27:33in the right position
00:27:34could contribute
00:27:35so much
00:27:36to Britain's economy,
00:27:38helping boost
00:27:38our much-needed
00:27:39dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man the charm,
00:27:42contacts,
00:27:43influence,
00:27:44and the
00:27:45magic
00:27:46of being a
00:27:47former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all
00:27:50feel a little
00:27:51grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those
00:27:53grasping
00:27:54international
00:27:54businessmen,
00:27:55the whiff of
00:27:56profit and
00:27:57self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the
00:27:58direction we were
00:28:00heading earlier,
00:28:00the idea of a
00:28:01liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about
00:28:03the diplomatic
00:28:03service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that
00:28:06idea.
00:28:06Don't the
00:28:07Americans
00:28:08have these
00:28:08unofficial
00:28:09roving
00:28:10ambassadors
00:28:11nowadays?
00:28:12Yes,
00:28:13they're two
00:28:14in London
00:28:14at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well,
00:28:16something like that
00:28:17would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we
00:28:19have...
00:28:19My dearest
00:28:20darling
00:28:21peaches,
00:28:22what a
00:28:23wait
00:28:23is off
00:28:24my mind.
00:28:26Moncton
00:28:26really did
00:28:27come up
00:28:27with the
00:28:28goods,
00:28:28and his
00:28:29friends
00:28:29really do
00:28:30seem to
00:28:30want to
00:28:31help me.
00:28:32Now all
00:28:33I must do
00:28:34is wait
00:28:34while they
00:28:35discreetly
00:28:36make
00:28:36representations
00:28:37on my
00:28:38behalf.
00:28:39I would
00:28:40say wait
00:28:41and pray,
00:28:42but all
00:28:43taste for
00:28:43prayer has
00:28:44left me
00:28:45as I
00:28:45survey the
00:28:46madness
00:28:46involving the
00:28:47American
00:28:48evangelist here.
00:28:49What has
00:28:50happened to
00:28:51the people
00:28:51of this
00:28:52country,

00:29:06Can you
00:29:07imagine the
00:29:08banality of
00:29:09those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness,
00:29:12self-congratulation
00:29:13and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a
00:29:16grotesque
00:29:16occasion that

00:29:31worth living.
00:29:32Your loving
00:29:33husband,
00:29:35David.
00:29:40Good morning,
00:29:42I'm ready
00:29:42to go in.
00:29:43Ready to go
00:29:43out, sir.
00:29:49I received
00:29:50a visit
00:29:50yesterday
00:29:51afternoon
00:29:51from John
00:29:52Wheeler
00:29:52Bennett,
00:29:54the senior
00:29:56historian in
00:29:56charge of
00:29:57publishing
00:29:57the German
00:29:58War Files,
00:29:59who informed
00:30:00me that
00:30:01this government
00:30:02was now
00:30:04left with no
00:30:04choice but
00:30:05to publish
00:30:05certain material
00:30:06which both
00:30:07my predecessor,
00:30:09Winston Churchill,
00:30:10and yours,
00:30:10your late
00:30:11father,
00:30:12tried to
00:30:12suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg
00:30:16Files, ma'am.
00:30:33Tickle,
00:30:35the Marburg
00:30:38head
00:30:38to the
00:30:39I love you.
00:30:43I'll see you
00:30:46next to
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. Schmidt.
00:31:50Dr. Paul Schmidt.
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. Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lersch, to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in
00:32:19archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch 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.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command with 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.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39You are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files...
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country?
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:33:59There is no confusion.
00:34:00I'llg were to ...
00:34:14Prepare...
00:34:17Place inunciation.
00:34:18Well I know?
00:34:18We can die.
00:34:22From where I am at the center of the world.
00:34:23People that have made no sense ...
00:34:23Are we still vulnerable,―
00:34:29to me,
00:34:29I don't know.
00:35:02I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations,
00:35:34and having given the matter careful thought,
00:35:38it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:04Your Royal Highness.
00:36:07Your Royal Highness.
00:36:09Your Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one.
00:36:36I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of
00:36:42value and importance.
00:36:43I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:05Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:20Your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me.
00:38:14French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Oh, 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.
00:39:00Anyway.
00:39:02One or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government.
00:39:16And I've been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, 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, Capwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, I'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 while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:49Well, it's utter nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:46You 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, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:08People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:23People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, 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.
00:43:23The Queen's The Last Beat
00:43:25To the Queen
00:43:25Everything alright?
00:43:29Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:37Go on, alas, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:46I think it's time that he'd be forgiven.
00:43:48Are you mad? You 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, so perhaps if I do,
00:44:10you will take it seriously.
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you.
00:44:22What?
00:44:24And 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.
00:44:32Go 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.
00:44:46He knows everything there is to know.
00:45:26No, I don't know.
00:45:28Tommy.
00:45:29He's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:41Ah, yes, those uniforms.
00:45:45Nineteenth century?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:49And 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?
00:46:07A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall 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, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why?
00:46:51Before you make your decision, ma'am, I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:05Yes, 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.
00:47:59But we needn't have worried.
00:48:02Because then we had the application.
00:48:09Having promised to retire from public life,
00:48:12we 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.
00:48:33So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip,
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess,
00:48:39that the plan was 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,
00:48:54in return for German forces being given free reign across Europe.
00:49:00German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion,
00:49:05if necessary.
00:49:07And there were visits to SS training schools
00:49:10and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13Now, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:27Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34When a German aircraft crashed in Belgium,
00:49:37carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of France,
00:49:41the Duke wasted no time
00:49:42in letting his Nazi friends know
00:49:45that Allied forces had indeed recovered this priceless information.
00:49:49which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And in less than a month,
00:49:56Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all,
00:50:02the Duke told the German government
00:50:05that resolve in the United Kingdom
00:50:07in the face of the German aerial bombardment was weakening,
00:50:11and that continued bombing,
00:50:13that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen
00:50:17and former subjects would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word.
00:50:56S-I-N.
00:50:59Sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58,
00:51:04the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born,
00:51:09speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:14God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now you may be out with legion teeth.
00:51:20We're fighting.
00:51:21Colts.
00:51:22A church member.
00:51:23A good standing in the community.
00:51:25But it's your heart,
00:51:26the 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,
00:51:52all spoke in its favour.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But, on balance,
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10that 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, our ears,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it as fabrications, as cruel chatter,
00:53:20in 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?
00:53:40The noise of even the pain before you broke yourself.
00:53:51The sadness of the world.
00:53:53The fear of even the wall.
00:53:54In the midst of the blood.
00:53:58The government.
00:53:58The power of even the men's arms is off.
00:53:59The power of even the blood!
00:54:01I see the floor of the men's arms.
00:54:02The power of even theanders.
00:54:03The power of even the metals.
00:54:07The power of even the HOWEF.
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?
00:56:04So, forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian 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.
00:56:39But 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.
00:57:31Yes.
00:59:31We all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have in
00:59:35common.
00:59:36Which is?
01:00:05It's you.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
