02:50By the end of this tour, I think we'll be able to make a qualitative assessment about where the finest
02:56women in the world come from.
02:58For now, however, I can tell you the women of New Guinea are sweeter than those of Ceylon and right
03:04up there with those of Malaya!
03:09I have shared these secrets with you in good faith.
03:12The contents must, like all disclosures of the officers on board are married and would kill me if they knew
03:21what I was writing!
03:24Strict, strict non-disclosure policies apply. What happens on tour stays on tour!
03:31But rest assured, I will keep you updated on our forthcoming adventures.
03:38I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow member, Mike!
03:47I sense this will be a momentous, ever, ever your fellow!
03:53I'm excited!
03:54I'm excited!
03:54I'm excited!
03:55I'm excited!
03:56I'm excited!
03:56I'm excited!
03:58I'm excited!
04:01I'm excited!
07:21Hello?
07:23Hello?
07:24Hello?
07:25Hello?
07:25Hello.
07:25Hello, Philip.
07:27Hello?
07:27Can you hear me?
07:28Yes, yes, I can hear you.
07:37Hello?
07:42Hello?
07:45Can you hear you, Philip?
07:51Can you hear me?
08:12This is a...
08:14You can hear you, man, you're a...
08:16at least, gentlemen.
08:16Yes, they're probably...
08:25and...
08:26At ease, gentlemen?
08:34Well, our adventure is only two weeks old,
08:37and it's already taken us nearly 20,000 miles
08:40as we travel the far corners of the world
08:45in an attempt to repair the reputation of our country
08:49currently being ruined by our politicians.
08:54I would like to thank each and every one of you
08:57for your professionalism and discipline.
09:00You have all been brilliant, all that is,
09:02except for the football team.
09:04Your shoddy, leaky defence and absence
09:08of a natural left-sided player
09:09led to that rather humiliating defeat
09:11by the seamen's club of all bloody people at Port Sweternand.
09:18I should also like to say, if I may, Admiral.
09:22Yes, sir.
09:27It's been wonderful for me, on a personal level,
09:30to be back at sea.
09:32The Royal Navy has always occupied a very special place
09:35in my life and, indeed, in my heart.
09:41There are few greater pleasures in life
09:43than serving on a ship such as this.
09:46That's why it's all so very difficult to leave.
09:49But, leave, I must, and fly to Melbourne
09:53to open the Olympics there,
09:54where I must generally behave myself.
09:57Shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons.
09:59It will be hell, I can assure you.
10:03And I will be counting the minutes
10:05until you come and pick me up again
10:06and we can continue our great adventure.
10:08Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves.
10:12Keep fit.
10:13And don't drink all the bloody beer.
10:19Thank you so much.
10:22Well done, boys.
10:23Well done, Peter.
10:24Good stuff.
10:25Thank you, sir.
10:26Well done.
10:27Well done.
10:28Well done.
10:29You're a...
10:29You're a...
10:30You're a...
10:30Yeah.
10:36So depressing, this sewer's business.
10:39Well, can't read about it, then.
10:41I can't help myself.
10:43What were they thinking?
10:44Should we take a look at the schedule?
10:46Will I tune you up?
10:47Ah, probably not, no.
10:49I've been stripping things out wherever I can,
10:51but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
10:53We start with a uranium mine visit
10:55in the Northern Territory.
10:56You see.
10:57Agricultural parades in Sydney,
10:59then overdo a British Empire
11:00service league conference in Canberra,
11:02and finally garden parties
11:04at the government house.
11:05Joy.
11:06But I've come up with
11:07a nice little stock speech
11:08which you can memorize like a minor bird
11:10and deliver each step of the way.
11:15Australia.
11:16In the name itself,
11:18conjures up such romantic images
11:19of progress,
11:20ambition,
11:21possibility.
11:28It is said that the mark
11:29of any great nation
11:30is the journey it has endured
11:32on its path to glory.
11:37What a journey Australia must take.
11:46From those early European explorers
11:48who landed at your shores,
11:50we've endured great hardship
11:51and crisis.
11:52Less independently minded nations
11:54would have faltered
11:55sought support
11:56from the parent nation.
11:58Once so integral
11:59to their governance,
12:00but Australia forged onwards.
12:05Like it's rugged
12:06and at times
12:08unforgiving landstates,
12:10Australia showed true strength,
12:13true metal.
12:18You have admirably developed
12:21every branch of your life
12:22and culture.
12:26And just 200 years
12:28have grown into a unique
12:29and individual civilization
12:32which I'm sure will rank
12:34among the greatest
12:35that the world has seen.
12:43Australia.
12:45Excuse me.
12:48Name's Helen King.
12:5029 years old,
12:51writes for The Age,
12:52one of the most prominent
12:53newspapers here.
12:54She's asked to meet you.
12:57That's me, sir.
12:59What for?
13:00Interview.
13:02I thought we decided
13:03no interviews.
13:04We did,
13:04but in her case
13:05I find myself moved
13:06to make an exception.
13:07You saw the way
13:08she was looking at me.
13:09Yes.
13:10You don't think
13:11I'm being delusional.
13:13Gentleman's radar
13:14on all that.
13:15No.
13:16Not to mention
13:17the way she's followed us
13:17every step of the tour.
13:18No, I think we can safely
13:20assume this one's a friend,
13:22not an enemy.
13:32The car carrying
13:34His Royal Highness,
13:35the Duke of Edinburgh,
13:37makes his way out
13:38onto the splendid red track
13:39here on the pleasant
13:40afternoon in Melbourne.
13:43The crowds have excited
13:44that they get
13:45their first glimpse
13:46of the Duke,
13:47who is reported
13:48to be greatly enjoying
13:49his time here in Australia.
13:52And now,
13:53we're nearly there
13:53as the Duke
13:55takes his place
13:56in the world.
13:58APPLAUSE
14:00I declare open
14:01the Olympic Games
14:03of Melbourne,
14:05celebrating
14:06the 16th
14:07Olympiad
14:08of the modern era.
14:10APPLAUSE
14:15He looks happy.
14:18Once.
14:20The Duke smiles
14:21with thunderous applause
14:23and thousands of cheers
14:25from the fighting spectators
14:27to reverberate
14:28around the crowded space.
14:29You can thank me for that.
14:31It's my idea.
14:32I always knew
14:33it was a good idea
14:33to let him shine.
14:35Alone.
14:36What a magnificent moment.
14:38Yes, thank you, Marie.
14:47In ancient Greece,
14:49the beginning of the Games
14:50was heralded
14:50by the homing
14:51of the pigeons.
14:53And so too today.
15:07Ready?
15:08Yes.
15:09Yes.
15:13Mrs. Parker,
15:14this way, please.
15:15We do.
15:18Mrs. Parker,
15:19how can I help?
15:20I'd like to separate
15:21from my husband.
15:23Better still,
15:24divorce.
15:26Do you mind me asking
15:27on what grounds?
15:28The fact I never see him.
15:31Absence isn't
15:32a legal ground
15:33for divorce.
15:37Neglect?
15:38Nor that, I'm afraid.
15:39We're going to need
15:40one of the big three.
15:41Adultery,
15:42unreasonable behaviour
15:43or insanity.
15:44I'm quite sure
15:45there has been adultery.
15:47We will need evidence.
15:50That won't be easy
15:51because of his job.
15:55Mike works
15:56for the Duke of Edinburgh.
15:57In what capacity?
15:59His private secretary.
16:01Oh, I see.
16:03He's also his closest friend.
16:05They're virtually inseparable.
16:08Are you really sure
16:10about this?
16:11A divorce
16:12can leave a woman
16:13quite isolated.
16:15Maybe things will get better
16:17if you
16:18stick it out.
16:20I tend to think
16:21that's always
16:22the best way
16:22for everyone.
16:25Grass
16:26is rarely
16:26greener.
16:29I will come back
16:30when I have evidence.
16:32I will come back
16:46when I have evidence.
16:46I did.
16:46Yes.
16:47And the pentabarbitone?
16:48Yes, I'm taking
16:49the pentabarbitone,
16:51but it doesn't work.
16:53I need something stronger.
16:55There is nothing stronger.
16:59The fact is,
17:00in terms of pharmacology,
17:02we've gone as far as we can.
17:11I have the greatest sympathy
17:12for your condition,
17:14Prime Minister.
17:15And I fully understand
17:16the need for rest.
17:19But given the challenges
17:21that are now facing
17:21this country,
17:23you don't feel
17:24that you have a responsibility
17:25to execute your duties
17:27just a little longer.
17:28I asked the physician
17:29the same question, ma'am,
17:31but he insisted
17:34he felt that I was
17:36at the very limit
17:37of human endurance.
17:42But the country
17:44will be in safe hands.
17:46Mr. Butler will take charge
17:48in my absence.
17:50Mr. Head will oversee
17:52the withdrawal
17:53of our troops from Egypt.
17:55And Mr. Macmillan
17:56will oversee the
18:00economic situation.
18:01Economic crisis.
18:05How long do you imagine
18:06you'll be away?
18:07Not long, ma'am.
18:10A few weeks.
18:12Well,
18:13I suppose one can always
18:15reach you
18:15at short notice.
18:17It's a point I always make
18:18to my private secretaries.
18:20Yes, I'm away.
18:22But Windsor
18:23radios just round the corner.
18:25And Norfolk too.
18:27County Durham,
18:29isn't it?
18:30Your family home.
18:34Jamaica, ma'am.
18:37Your family home?
18:38Where the doctor
18:40felt I should be going.
18:41He specified Jamaica.
18:43He specified sunshine,
18:45tropical sunshine.
18:46He said
18:47he felt my life
18:48might depend on it.
18:53What would he prescribe
18:54for the rest of us?
18:56Do you imagine?
19:01Prime Minister.
19:03Your Majesty.
19:09Serious?
19:10Oh.
19:34I won't do it.
19:34How long do I routinely
19:35R35
19:35never
19:35I'll
19:38Excuse me.
19:40Excuse me.
19:41You work in there, don't you?
19:44At the Thursday Club as a waitress.
19:47Who's asking?
19:48My name is Eileen.
19:50Do you have a minute?
19:51What can I do for you?
19:54I'd like you to tell me what goes on inside.
19:59Are you a reporter or something?
20:00No, no.
20:01Nothing like that.
20:02Just a wife of one of the members.
20:05And mother to his children.
20:07You may know him.
20:08His name is Mike.
20:09There are so many gentlemen.
20:11Mike Parker.
20:15You do know him, don't you?
20:19Mike would have made sure of that.
20:21You're just his type.
20:24Look, one day you will be married too,
20:26and I sincerely hope that you make a good choice.
20:29But if you don't, and you meet a man who makes you unhappy,
20:33then as a woman, I would wish for you to be able to leave that man
20:38easily, painlessly.
20:40So if there is anything you can tell me
20:42that might make my leaving easier.
20:44I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker,
20:46but I know nothing of your husband.
20:49Here is my address and, um, and my number.
20:55Just...
20:57If anything should occur to you.
21:00Go to the party.
21:14No!
21:19Yes!
21:19Yes, yes, yes.
21:21Yes, yes.
21:24Billy, Billy, Billy.
21:35Martin.
21:36Do you have a minute, Michael?
21:38I think it's important.
21:40Coming.
21:44I'm going to ask you to go through it again.
21:46Yes, the provenance of this room is quite arcane.
21:50Your sister?
21:52Sister-in-law.
21:53Had lunch with her aunt,
21:55who had just spent the weekend at...
21:58Chumley Castle.
21:59At which one of the other guests was the bridge partner...
22:03Tennis.
22:05...of the solicitor visited by Eileen Parker.
22:11I think that's it.
22:13That's half Britain already.
22:15And all of these people now know...
22:18...Mrs. Parker...
22:20...is seeking a divorce.
22:23Yes.
22:25It's unfortunate.
22:27It'll be hard to contain.
22:30What are...
22:32...Mrs. Parker's...
22:36...grievances?
22:39Neglect.
22:40Unreasonable behavior.
22:43And...
22:44...infidelity.
22:46Just a wife's suspicions.
22:48Nothing concrete.
22:49But I believe specific mention was made of a lunch club...
22:52...where Lieutenant Commander Parker and the Duke of Edinburgh...
22:55Don't tell me.
22:57Frequent guests.
22:58Actually...
23:00...Founder members.
23:03Keep an eye on this for me, would you, Martin?
23:06How close are I?
23:07Yeah.
23:07Three thousand problems.
23:08Here it is.
23:21Madam.
23:22Thank you very much.
23:42Ready, sir?
23:43Certainly.
23:44Here.
23:45His Royal Highness is the Duke of Edinburgh.
23:47Thank you for seeing me, sir.
23:49Not at all.
23:53Well, erm...
23:54...just bear with me while I put my things down and set up.
23:58Please.
24:09Just going to put a microphone right here.
24:11Can I help?
24:12No.
24:13No, it's fine.
24:18Right.
24:19I think that's it.
24:21Right.
24:22Well, I'll, er...
24:23I'll leave you two to it, then.
24:24Thank you, Michael.
24:25Please.
24:32Very when you are.
24:34Well, we can't really start without passing comment on the situation in Egypt...
24:37...and the international response.
24:40Why?
24:43Huge demonstrations on the streets of London.
24:46Eden caving in to international pressure and calling a ceasefire.
24:49You don't think it's a pretty significant moment for your country?
24:52Perhaps.
24:53But I'm not going to pass comment on that.
24:55Why not?
24:56It's not my job.
24:57It's not what members of the royal family do.
25:00But you must have thoughts about it.
25:02Of course.
25:03Not a vegetable.
25:04But my thoughts on issues like that remain a private matter.
25:11One can't help wondering where it leaves Britain's place in the world.
25:15Oh, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
25:16No.
25:17The view from over here is that Britain has been publicly humiliated.
25:21Oh.
25:22As someone with surprisingly progressive views, that must concern you.
25:27I have progressive views.
25:29You don't think that you do?
25:32Televising the coronation?
25:34Advocating modernisation?
25:35That's just common sense.
25:36If you're a progressive, one prepared to make changes.
25:40Well, let's just say that I learnt very early on that it's wise not to take things for granted.
25:44You're referring to your family.
25:47How they had to leave Greece in the revolution.
25:50Your grandfather was shot.
25:51Your father fled to avoid being shot.
25:54Yes, correct.
25:58Well, you see, there's so much that people don't really know about you.
26:05I can assure you it's all been rather embellished.
26:08The truth is really quite dull.
26:11Dull?
26:12How you personally fled Corfu in an orange crate.
26:15And then in childhood, in exile, always on the move.
26:18Exile is too strong a word, too emotional.
26:21Just how it was for everyone.
26:22You just got on with it.
26:26But it can't have been easy.
26:30Was the trauma of being in exile what brought on your mother's illness, do you think?
26:40What illness?
26:42Well, the information I have is that she suffered a breakdown.
26:53Things weren't easy for her.
26:57But she got on with it.
26:58She was taken away, wasn't she?
27:00To an institution.
27:02And then your father promptly abandoned the family, ran off with his mistress?
27:06I don't know what you've been reading or who you've been speaking to, but both my mother and my father
27:10played very active roles in all their children's lives.
27:13So it isn't true that you didn't see your father for the last six years of his life?
27:16I think if we were to remain friends, we really should move on.
27:20All right.
27:23May I ask you about your education?
27:26Sir.
27:33Sir.
27:36What about it?
27:37That was pretty unusual, too.
27:39I went to boarding school in Britain. I knew what was unusual about that.
27:42For a while, but then you were taken out of there and sent to school in Germany.
27:45Because my sisters lived there.
27:47Your Nazi sisters.
27:49Oh, Christ.
27:50One of whom was married to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
27:52I was at school in Germany for less than a year before I returned to the United Kingdom.
27:57What point are you trying to make here?
27:59I think it's pretty clear which side I was on.
28:01My record in the war speaks for itself.
28:02I'm simply saying that your background is so much more interesting and complex than people might imagine.
28:07Do they imagine anything?
28:08I think people are curious.
28:12There is this striking, handsome man.
28:15Walking beside the most famous woman in the world.
28:19Who is he?
28:22Well, I hate to disappoint.
28:27But he really is just a normal man.
28:29In what from the outside probably looks like rather a strange life.
28:34But from the inside really is no different to anyone else's.
28:41I don't think there's anything about you that's like anyone else.
28:46From a young age you were effectively orphaned.
28:49Your favorite sister Cecile, also a Nazi, died in a plane crash.
28:53Yeah, I really think we should move on now.
28:54What kind of impact does that have on a man?
28:57That's the kind of trauma that will doubtless have a bearing on how your own children and the future king
29:02of England abroad are.
29:03That's enough.
29:08I think people have a right to know about their leaders.
29:11Don't you?
29:12Especially ones that can't be thrown out with free and fair elections.
29:20Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
29:44Just don't ever let my vanity get the better of me again.
29:45Christ.
29:47Christ.
29:49Christ.
30:15Christ.
30:15Christ.
30:16Christ.
30:16Christ.
30:21Christ.
30:28Christ.
30:30Christ.
30:33Christ.
30:34Christ.
30:34Christ.
30:35Christ.
30:35Christ.
30:36Christ.
30:39Christ.
30:49Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job, the company he keeps.
31:00He didn't mention a wife or children.
31:08I'm so sorry.
31:14If you are really sorry, I want to make my life easier.
31:21Of course.
31:24We will need you to make an official statement and give evidence in court.
31:29I can't do that.
31:30I would lose my job, my reputation.
31:31I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
31:33No.
31:37No.
31:39So you telephoned me and agreed to come here today for what, precisely?
31:44To put colour into my nightmares?
31:47I'm sorry.
31:55My sources now tell me that Mrs. Parker has gone as far as bringing a waitress from a
31:59Thursday lunch club to see her divorce line.
32:02I gather the waitress has not provided hard evidence on this occasion, just hearsay.
32:08They were obviously getting close.
32:09This cannot be allowed to go one single step further, Martin.
32:14No.
32:15If Mrs. Parker succeeds in getting her divorce, the newspapers would make a not unreasonable
32:21assumption that anything that Lieutenant Commander Parker has done, the Duke of Edinburgh has
32:27done too.
32:27We do not want words like infidelity and divorce swirling around.
32:34No.
32:35No.
32:35Whether there is any truth in the allegations or not, it would shatter the interoperable
32:40marriage and jeopardize the entire monarchy.
32:47Any ideas?
32:50Stand easy.
32:51Stand easy.
32:52Right, our grown-up duties are done.
32:54The Olympics are officially up and running, which means, gentlemen, we can now get on with
32:59the important business at hand, our tour!
33:05We have nine weeks between now and our arrival home.
33:09In that time, we will be visiting the remotest parts of the Commonwealth.
33:12But I'm delighted to say that during that time, we will be without reporters.
33:18We will be without photographers.
33:22We will be out of the world's eye.
33:26And with that in mind, I think Michael's got a suggestion.
33:31Right, gentlemen.
33:31Yes, I'd like to propose something a little unusual.
33:34Something I'm fairly sure none of us has ever participated in before.
33:38A beard-growing competition!
33:42Now, special dispensation has been given to the dozen or so men who already have beards.
33:48Shave them off.
33:48And they'll act as judges for the rest of our efforts, all right?
33:53Yeah!
33:55Hey, Chris!
33:56Hey!
33:57Hey!
33:58Hey!
33:59Hey!
34:00Hey!
34:00Hey!
34:02Hey!
34:03Hey!
34:03Hey!
34:07Hey!
34:09Hey!
34:14Hey!
34:15Hey!
34:33Hey!
34:34Hey!
34:43Right, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that be have decided
34:46they would like you to make a Christmas speech.
34:49What?
34:50To who? The men on board?
34:52Uh, no, to the half a billion people that make up the Commonwealth of Nations.
34:57In the Lord Chamberlain's office,
34:58they'd like you to make a companion Christmas speech to the Queens.
35:01A thousand words, preferably uplifting in tone and Christian in sentiment,
35:06with as many references as possible to the importance of family and the sanctity of marriage.
35:12What if I don't want to?
35:14Well, I'm afraid no provisions appear to have been made
35:16for your having an opinion about that, or indeed anything else.
35:21Because of seniority, your speech will come second, at the usual time, 3 p.m.
35:28However, on Christmas morning, the Duke of Edinburgh is expected to be in Graham Land,
35:34which is in the Antarctic Peninsula, which is ten hours behind us.
35:37So he'll have to get up at the crack of dawn to make his speech.
35:40May I ask why he's making a speech?
35:44Um?
35:45Well, it's not usual, is it?
35:48No, it is extra-ordinary.
35:51Um, I think the feeling was that with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness
35:56having not been seen in public together so long,
36:01being at least heard together...
36:04No, I see.
36:04It might reassure people that all is still well.
36:07I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
36:09Well, I would.
36:10And I think it's a good idea.
36:13Thank you, Michael.
36:20May I just ask, just out of curiosity,
36:26what's the longest amount of time that you and Lady Adeen have been separated?
36:31Uh, three weeks, I think.
36:35See, and would you say that you thrive or suffer from the separation?
36:41Well, we don't much care for it, ma'am.
36:44Helen, in particular, believes
36:47that little good comes from a couple being apart,
36:50but a husband and wife belong together.
36:57Of course.
37:01Ma'am.
37:01I'm not this person.
37:04Oh my god.
37:10Oh my god.
37:20Oh my god.
37:28Kae ass.
37:48Yes, sir.
37:51What's up?
37:52Australian naval patrol boat.
37:54It's Jameis Warren has put out a distress call.
37:56They picked up a fishing boat out of power and it's drifted for days.
38:00Only one man left alive and he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
38:02He suffered a broken rib cage and his lung may be punctured.
38:05And the war really doesn't have a doctor on board.
38:07The man is dying.
38:08Are we the nearest ship?
38:09There's a French freighter three miles further out.
38:12We are the nearest ship.
38:14Set your course.
38:16Bring her about.
38:18Coming about.
38:19Time to breathe.
38:39Time to breathe.
38:56Trask!
39:03Howdy.
39:05We fished him out of the water floating near his boat.
39:08The rest of his crew must have drowned.
39:10There's no log on board, so we don't know who he is or where he's from.
39:13It doesn't matter who he is or where he's from.
39:15He was the captain of his ship.
39:18That's where it counts.
39:20He's one of us.
39:24You know, it's out of the question, sir.
39:27Why?
39:28We have a strict schedule, it's part of an official term.
39:31And to take the man back to wherever he came from would be to turn back in entirely the wrong
39:35direction.
39:37It'd take days, maybe a whole week off our important schedule.
39:40We can make that time up.
39:41The man's fortunate enough, we saved his life.
39:44We'll simply drop him off at the next destination and that'll be that.
39:47He will be needlessly separated from his home.
39:50Find himself in a strange country with a foreign language.
39:54Away from his family.
39:55Not my concern.
39:57Another vessel with less important duties might find time for such sentimental charity.
40:02We've done our important duties and are on the way home.
40:06Effectively glorified pleasure cruiser with an abundance of fuel and time to spare.
40:12So my decision as flag officer is no.
40:15And my decision as admiral of the fleet is that we do.
40:26There is only one person in command of the vessel.
40:34It's the flag officer.
40:37If you'd recall your naval training, you'd remember.
40:41I do recall my naval training as it happens.
40:44Manning command posts on destroyers during the war, the same war which I believe you spent on shore duty.
40:51I have never abused my privileges and I don't intend to start now but this is the Royal Yacht.
40:56I am on it representing the crown and I say turn it around and take this man home.
41:01There is only one person in my village.
41:14You've seen this scene of great
41:31Many thousands of miles, I'm happy to report that we saved our greatest adventure for last
41:39As the Royal Yacht Britannia turned naval rescue and we fished a shipwrecked Mariner under the water
41:47Our brilliant surgeons operated on him and we went out of our way to return him to his home his
41:52family and his people
42:16The Royal Yacht Britannia
42:33And what people, what family, what a home.
43:10Should you Thursday club members ever grow tired of your colourless and empty lives in London,
43:17I suggest immediate relocation to the discreet island nations nestled around Tonga.
43:24Surely the closest one can come to heaven on earth.
43:30Never have we received such a welcome, or eaten so well.
43:37Never have I experienced such a willingness to set oneself free and enjoy.
43:45And nowhere on earth, and we have by this point travelled across almost every inch,
43:52have we encountered such beautiful women.
44:13These really have been the most remarkable few days.
44:19And it is with the greatest reluctance that after three days here we tear ourselves away.
44:26Each of us, not a little bit, but a great deal in love.
44:46That is your husband's handwriting, isn't it?
44:53You said you needed evidence.
44:59That's not a royal tour, that one.
45:01It's a five-month stag night.
45:04Whores in every port.
45:06It's a five-month stag night.
45:09You said you need to have a house.
45:12You said you need to have a house.
45:12Good luck.
46:01happy christmas
46:20oh
46:34written it yes no i'm waiting for inspiration to strike
46:44might i suggest some gung-ho platitudes about christmas in the commonwealth
46:50that's what they want me to say i mean what i want to say
46:57right

47:40it's time good your majesties your royal highnesses
47:52good morning this is britannia i'm speaking to you from the edge of the south pacific
47:5959 degrees south and 60 degrees west you have to turn the globe upside down to find this place
48:05indeed a few of us aboard the royal yacht feel a little upside down having never been this far from
48:11home the remoteness of the location presents one with a precious opportunity to think
48:19about one's own life one's own way of living
48:24we've traveled the world now and seen all manner of tribes societies and cultures we've had endless
48:32debates about which places have the best systems of government or justice or the most interesting
48:36religions and we've been amazed and impressed by so much of what we've seen
48:44naturally it has led us to examine our own lives
48:47and the way we live the things we take for granted is that really philip some sort of philip
48:55impersonator why it sounds so odd so different
49:05and here i am almost 10 000 miles from london surrounded by empty water
49:14it's a fine life on board a ship but it can be a solitary one
49:22we are meant together
49:27but we each stand alone
49:50and ask to tell you that they're ready for you
49:55right
49:59last minute changes

50:27we are ready for you ma'am
50:30yes
50:38happy christmas
50:44the people of britain and the commonwealth will now listen to the voice of her majesty the queen
50:51thank you
50:58once again messages of christmas greeting have been exchanged around the world
51:05carried upon the invisible wings of 20th century science
51:11and of all those many messages from all corners of the commonwealth
51:17none has given us greater pleasure than hearing those of my husband
51:24from the remote and lonely spaces of antarctica
51:31to him i say from all the members of your family gathered here today
51:39our very best wishes go to you on board britannia
51:46a very large united family is waiting for you here
51:57and we'll always be waiting for you wherever you are
52:17and we'll always be waiting for you wherever you are
52:20to those men and women of the commonwealth
52:24whose efforts in our great cities
52:26my focus takes care of at any of us

53:17There you are.
53:28You all right?
53:31Fine.
53:41Her speech.
53:44What about it?
53:47Touching.
53:50Unexpectedly touching.
53:53Call me off guard.
53:58I might even have to confess to feeling a little...
54:04Homesick.
54:08Yes.
54:12Yes.
54:14Yes.
54:14Yes.
54:16Yes.
