00:00You
00:34Ah, there you are. Come in. I'm practicing for the big day tomorrow and, um, I need an archbishop.
00:51Will you do me the honor from here?
01:00Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
01:05I am... willing.
01:11Will you maintain and preserve in... invi...
01:22Ah, inviolably. It means to make a promise you can... you can never break. A very sacred promise indeed.
01:37Yes!
01:40We're ready for you, sir.
01:42Oh, not yet, Tommy.
01:45We haven't even reached the anointing.
01:49You have to anoint me.
01:51Otherwise, I can't...
01:56Be king.
01:59Do you understand?
02:03When the holy oil touches me,
02:07I am...
02:09I am transformed.
02:13Brought into direct contact with the divine.
02:22Forever changed.
02:27Bound to God.
02:30It is the most important part of the entire ceremony.
02:36So we had better practice, hadn't we, Archbishop?
02:45Be thy hands anointed with holy oil.
02:55Be thy breast anointed with holy oil.
03:11As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:12Be thy head anointed with holy oil.
03:17As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:26Oh, goodness.
03:35That's very heavy indeed.
03:37Five pounds, sir.
03:39Not to mention the, uh, symbolic weight.
03:43Hmm?
03:45Mm-hm.
03:47Mm-hm.
03:48Mm-hm.
03:51Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:56And the side I heard, I never see.
04:00Mm-hm.
04:09Mm-hm.
04:11Mm-hm.
04:12Mm-hm.
04:13Mm-hm.
04:18Mm-hm.
04:43It's not as easy as it looks.
04:47It's exactly what the king said.
04:51I remember.
04:56Do you suppose I could borrow it for a couple of days?
05:00Just to practice?
05:03Borrow it, ma'am?
05:05From whom?
05:07If it's not yours, whose is it?
05:14Good night.
06:54Close your eyes, and don't open them until I say so.
07:06Oh, any idea where the Duke is?
07:08His Royal Highness went flying, ma'am.
07:10Howdy?
07:11Again?
07:18So when's the big day?
07:21Pilot's exam.
07:23Two weeks.
07:25Are you still on track for the record?
07:26I am.
07:27Just.
07:28If I do nothing else.
07:30Oh.
07:31Then you'll hate me.
07:33Why?
07:34There is something I wanted you to help me with.
07:36It would have to be jolly important to distract me from getting my wings faster than anyone in British aviation
07:40history.
07:41It is.
07:43I'd like you to come aboard my coronation committee.
07:48In which capacity?
07:50As chairman.
07:52You already have one.
07:54Bernard.
07:56I'd ask the Duke of Norfolk to make room for you.
07:59I want to make a public declaration of my trust in you.
08:02There's no need to matronize me.
08:04I'm not matronizing you.
08:06Yes, you are.
08:06You're taking pity on me and giving me a job for appearance's sake.
08:10No, it's not that.
08:11I was just thinking how I'd like us to spend more time together.
08:14What are you talking about?
08:15We spend all our time together.
08:17No, we don't.
08:18You're always off flying or lunching with strange men.
08:21A few hours a week, darling.
08:23Anyway, what else am I supposed to do?
08:24Sit around and wait for you while you're queening?
08:27Queening?
08:27Yes, queening.
08:29Maybe I'd like your help with the queening.
08:31Oh, in the same flattering way you asked me to redecorate Clarence's house.
08:35Well, you did that jolly well.
08:36I felt like a sissy.
08:38Fussing about curtain fabrics and paint charts.
08:40Honestly, it's just queening of another sort.
08:53What would it entail?
08:56Well, the Duke of Norfolk will run the show from an organizational perspective.
09:02Look after the seating, the route of the procession.
09:04But as chairman of the committee, you'd have name-button ideas.
09:08Inspire everyone.
09:09Lead them.
09:10They won't listen to me.
09:12The grey old men, the men with moustaches.
09:14They hate me.
09:20They do not hate you.
09:21They do.
09:23They treat me as an outsider.
09:25In irrelevance.
09:27Yes, everyone does.
09:46Total control or nothing at all.
09:49Those are my turns.
09:57You should be right.
10:00But don't go mad.
10:03What does that mean?
10:04It means just don't go mad.
10:09Coronation.
10:10A service which goes back a thousand years.
10:15Some things can't be changed.
10:16Yes, yes, yes, all right.
10:33When did you move in?
10:35The city of Paris owns the property, you know.
10:39And, happily, the city very kindly let us take the house for a small amount of rent.
10:44So we moved in by summer's end.
10:48You must have been thrilled, your highness.
10:51Not your highness.
10:52Oh.
10:53Saw point.
10:54Just a duchess.
10:56Not age or age.
10:59So, ma'am.
11:01Ma'am.
11:02Or your grace.
11:07What made you choose this particular house?
11:09It has a two-acre park, which gives us privacy.
11:12And its size means the Duke and I can finally entertain properly, and we very much enjoy entertaining.
11:18The duchess is so very good at it.
11:20I believe our editor agreed, as part of the deal, that you would give our readers some tips for entertaining.
11:27Did we agree there?
11:28We did, darling, yes.
11:30We paid extra.
11:32Perfect.
11:33Big smiles.
11:36Perfect.
11:38Well, having had a naval background, I don't much care for fussy things or smells, but I do like a
11:47good, well-milled soap.
11:53What sartorial tips would you give the young men of today?
11:56No matter what the fashion, a well-cut suit in a beautiful fabric will take you anywhere.
12:05Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?
12:12You're very fortunate.
12:14He lets no one in here.
12:16It's his private room, full of secrets.
12:19Not secrets, darling.
12:21Memories.
12:22Precious memories.
12:26I come in here for a few moments every day to meditate and remember.
12:35Goodness.
12:36Bagpipes too.
12:38Yes, I play.
12:40When he gets homesick.
12:43My favourite armchair.
12:47And the briefcase?
12:49Box.
12:51As monarch, one receives a daily red box from the government.
12:58State papers, business of the day.
13:02Matters requiring royal assent.
13:04That was the final box I received as king.
13:09It contained my education papers.
13:13And all these photographs of you as king.
13:16There are none with the crown.
13:17Why is that?
13:19I never made it that far.
13:27I never had a coronation.
13:36Oh, I forgot to mention.
13:38I had a call today from Sir John Weir.
13:42Who?
13:44My mother's doctor.
13:47Telling me that, in his opinion, she was in her final days now.
13:53And that my sister and I should make our way over.
13:57With me?
14:02Probably best without.
14:09Even if she dies?
14:11Yes.
14:13So she does.
14:16I couldn't bear to go over twice.
14:20I shall have to be brave.
14:25My darling one.
14:32I can go without you.
14:35To cold London.
14:37London.
14:40Brutal London.
14:43Hellish London.
14:58Shall we fuck?
15:17The Lord's Great Chamberlain.
15:19The Lord Chamberlain.
15:20The Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps.
15:22And the Comptroller, Your Majesty.
15:25I've asked you to join me.
15:27Because I've made a decision regarding the coronation committee.
15:31Which is that I would like my husband to be the chairman of that committee.
15:41That's impossible, ma'am.
15:43There can only be one chairman.
15:45As far as I'm aware, I only have one husband.
15:49And the Duke of Norfolk will be expecting it to be him.
15:52He is the Earl Marshal.
15:54That may be.
15:55And the Chief Butler of England.
15:57He would be the 16th Duke of Norfolk to do it.
16:00He ran your father's coronation.
16:03His father ran your grandfather's.
16:07And running the coronation, that's what the Norfolks do.
16:13Couldn't you give Philip some other job?
16:16Like what?
16:21Arrange the photographer.
16:27The chairmanship is what he wants.
16:29With full autonomy.
16:31Therefore, it is what I want.
16:35Norfolk can be vice chair.
16:37Why don't you think about it?
16:39I have.
16:40And my decision stands.
16:50Well, of course, the Duke of Norfolk will be furious.
16:53Yes.
16:55And Bernard does fury so well.
16:57What would your majesty suggest?
17:01I will throw my hat in that Bernard and sanity will prevail.
17:06The Queen is young.
17:08And has to learn what any young general has to learn.
17:12Namely?
17:14Which battles to fight and which to leave.
17:19Well, let me know what you want me to do.
17:22Same as always, Tommy.
17:25Exactly as I tell you.
17:28Now, I've spoken to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
17:32who's agreed to help us with our other delicate matter,
17:37the Duke of Windsor.
17:39When does he arrive?
17:41This afternoon, I believe.
17:42God help us.
17:44And when will you meet him?
17:46We thought tomorrow, ma'am.
17:50Good.
17:51Sooner the better.
17:53You're sure to be firm, Tommy.
17:55Yes, ma'am.
17:56That one's like mercury.
17:58He'll slip through the tiniest crack.
18:06Good afternoon.
18:08Good afternoon.
18:08I've returned to London to visit my mother, Queen Mary,
18:14who I'm delighted to say has made such good improvement in recent days.
18:21Thank you very much.
18:40My dearest darling one, London is as awful and hellish, and as full of my smug, stinking relations as ever.
18:52Each day, I call on Mama in the afternoon.
18:56And although she doesn't look quite as bad as the doctors warned me,
19:00she'll never again be able to leave her rooms,
19:03far less go out in public.
19:24What?
19:28Don't go.
19:32I'm going anywhere, ma'am.
19:34I'm going anywhere, ma'am.
19:39It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to endure.
19:43And spending so much time with a woman who has been so vicious and inhumane to you, my beloved, is
19:50wearing me down.
19:52Come in.
19:59Sorry to disturb you, Your Royal Highness.
20:02What is it?
20:03The Archbishop of Canterbury's private secretary called, sir, requesting a meeting between you and His Grace.
20:09Oh, what about?
20:10It didn't say, sir.
20:12He hoped you could make tomorrow.
20:15Fine, I have a few errands planned, but the Archbishop can come to lunch.
20:20As a matter of fact, they suggested 4pm.
20:24Well, all right.
20:26We'll give him tea.
20:28At Lambeth Palace.
20:32Of course.
20:35I'm no longer king.
20:37I go to them.
20:44Good night, Your Royal Highness.
20:59Good night.
21:00Thank you, Ernie.
21:05We'll get back from the house to our friend.
21:06Get back from the house.
21:06Good day.
21:08Good night.
21:08Good night.
21:08Good night.
21:09Good night.
21:22is royal highness the duke of windsor your grace goodness what is this an ambush not at all sir
21:31you're not just a gathering of old friends who come together to appeal to you in person
21:39in the hope that you will do what we all think would be
21:47the right thing
21:51regarding what
21:52the coronation
21:57what about the coronation
22:03we acknowledge
22:06as a
22:08as a member of the queen's close family you are entitled to attend
22:14but also feel that the attendance at this sacred ceremony
22:21by one who however good his reasons
22:24did not feel capable of undertaking the obligations himself
22:34well it could strike a wrong note
22:39and would be deeply upsetting to whom
22:43to everyone concerned
22:45i didn't ask you tommy
22:48this is cookies work isn't it
22:50the queen mother's
22:52it's got her pudgy little fingers all over it
22:56she asked you to do her dirty work for her and you agreed archbishop shame on you
23:01i will attend if i want and i do want and so does my wife
23:05alas no sir
23:08of course the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you as a royal duke
23:13but that obligation does not extend to the duchess of windsor
23:17and it is my duty to inform you
23:20on behalf of the royal family and the government with whom we have worked in close consultation
23:25that she will not be offered an invitation
23:30oh it's madness
23:35the pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits
23:39seventeen years have elapsed
23:43since the abdication
23:46shouldn't bygones be bygones
23:49some things can never be forgotten
23:51which of us for example has forgotten the song
23:54you would compare the love and public commitment i made to my wife to slaughter in a world war
24:20why not use a celebration such as this
24:26the investiture of a new sovereign a beautiful young child symbol of maternity change and progress to turn a page
24:38surely the sophistication of a society can be measured by its tolerance and ability to forgive
24:44its weakness too
24:46sometimes lines just need to be drawn
24:49you know tommy you're an embarrassment to the institution you serve
24:54and to the country that institution serves in turn
24:57and i will take a lecture on national embarrassment from many people sir but not from you
25:04let's face it
25:06this whole thing is a charade
25:07you knew already the answer to the choice you have given me
25:11it is simply the same as the choice that caused all this offense in the first place
25:15namely would i do anything that excludes or disrespects the woman i love
25:20no never
25:21i will therefore not be attending the coronation of my own niece
25:26whose favorite uncle i have always been
25:29hers you should know was one of the strongest voices involved
25:32oh was it indeed well we know from where she gets that ice in her veins and it wasn't from
25:38my own dear weak brother
25:40nothing weak about the late king sir
25:42i'm sure i'm sure i speak for everyone present when i call him a hero
25:47hear hear
25:51my lord archbishop what a scold you are
25:56and when your man is down how very bold you are
26:00of christian charity how very scant you are you old lang swine
26:08how full of cant you are
26:11a rhyme composed for your perfidious predecessor
26:15at the time of my abdication
26:17i find the sentiment oddly applicable to you
26:21you too
26:38if i were to release a statement
26:41could you have a look over it
26:43of course sir
26:48i'm aware that it's normal for no reigning monarchs to be present
26:52but a coronation
26:55perhaps we could extend that to include former kings too
27:00to spare my blushes
27:02might just
27:03throw some of the vultras off the scent
27:10it's an elegant solution sir
27:12and i'm quite sure cabinet will support it
27:15tommy
27:18i'll speak to their magisters and get back to you
27:30we've just had a call from mulgrass
27:33regarding her majesty queen mary
27:42my own darling sweetheart
27:46well at last it's all over
27:49mama took ill in the afternoon
27:51then began hemorrhaging in the early hours
27:56doctors plied her with tranquilizers and morphine
27:59to ensure there was no suffering
28:01in the end
28:02she passed in her sleep
28:05i was sad of course
28:07but let's not forget
28:08how she clung to such hatred for me
28:11her eldest
28:12till the last
28:15i'm afraid her blood ran as icy cold when she was alive
28:19as it does now she's dead
28:24later in the day
28:25all the members of the family assembled
28:27to identify which of her personal possessions they were most like
28:31not entirely
28:32i told shirley temple what i had my eye on
28:36but as i shan be there when the jackals descend
28:40i don't suppose it will do much good
28:43what a vile tawdry rabble my relatives are
28:47and what a sad desiccated bunch of hyenas most of them have become
28:55but i'm tired of talking about it
28:59i yearn for our perfect life together
29:02away from the snarling and the sniping of the court
29:07i adore you my sweetheart
29:10more deeply than you will ever realize
29:13and i am furiously mad that you aren't here with me as you ought by right to be
29:23while queen mary lived something of the great reigns of queen victoria
29:29and george v seemed to live on with her
29:34proving that character is as it will remain
29:41the essential strength of british monarchy
29:45wherever she went
29:47she was assured of an applause
29:50which sprang from some
29:52deep-seated affection
29:56you noticed
29:57identical to the funeral of your father
30:01nothing different not on detail
30:02but one guest
30:04like
30:07and she always regarded herself
30:10as a servant of our country
30:13which she served
30:15to the end
30:17no sooner does someone in the family of pop their clogs
30:20they ask themselves right
30:21how's it done last time
30:22and it's done exactly the same way again
30:24the people who have come to share in it are locked outside
30:33well i'm not going to let your coronation be like this
30:36you're a young woman
30:36simply of a new era
30:38in a fast-changing
30:42modern world
30:46and i think your coronation should reflect that
30:50for as much as it have pleased almighty god of his great mercy
31:05lord of jesus christ
31:09well
31:10thanks
31:22not
31:23okay
31:36Ladies and gentlemen.
31:38I'm going to speak to you, Mr. Chairman.
31:42I'm going to speak to you, Mr. Chairman.
32:01I'm going to speak to you, Mr. Chairman.
32:18Good morning.
32:25What is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old tonians?
32:33A herd pack.
32:37A school.
33:05Gentlemen.
33:08I'd like to start by saying how very honored I feel to be working with all the great minds and
33:14talents here in this room today
33:16as we come together to organize the very best coronation for my wife, Queen.
33:24We all know the scale of the challenge that faces us.
33:28The eyes of the world will be on us.
33:30Britain will be on show.
33:31And we must put our best foot forward.
33:37In such circumstances, the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent set by the grand
33:44and successful coronations of the past.
33:48But looking to the past for our inspiration would be a mistake, in my view.
33:56Britain today is not the Britain of past coronations.
33:59Assumptions made at the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made anymore.
34:07That is why I think we should adapt this ceremony.
34:13Make it less ostentatious, more egalitarian.
34:17Show more respect and sensitivity to the real world.
34:21We have a new sovereign, young and a woman.
34:24Let us give her a coronation that is befitting of the wind of change that she represents, modern and forward
34:34-looking, at a moment in time where exciting technological developments are making things possible we never dreamt of.
34:41Which brings me to my next point.
34:57It's a... unconscionable vulgarisation.
35:05How close are you proposing that these cameras get...
35:08They will be kept at a very discreet distance.
35:11No, no, close-up, sir.
35:16Zoom.
35:17Lenses.
35:18Oh, no.
35:18It will all be done with the greatest sensitivity and respect for the occasion.
35:34But, I have had one or two broader thoughts about the service itself.
36:00A young couple, playing marital games with the most cherished parts of our history and pageantry.
36:08our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these radical proposals television being just
36:14the tip of the iceberg she's simply trying to keep peace in her own bedchamber by promoting
36:23her husband keeping him happy and occupied and virile that's what's going on here winston
36:32why what else has he proposed
36:40prime minister your majesty
37:02please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband i told him not to go mad
37:10and no one is questioning the duke of edinburgh's motives or the sincerity of his beliefs i see
37:17he went mad the changes he is proposing to an ancient sacred never previously changed liturgy and text
37:32it went from top to toe and if it were just a business it would be applauded but this
37:40isn't a business it's the crown
37:45and one has to ask oneself what is the purpose of the crown what is the purpose of the monarchy
37:54does the crown bend to the will of the people to be audited and accountable
37:58or should it remain above temporal matters
38:08what say you
38:13no ma'am
38:16what say you
38:18the decision is yours to make
38:22we will take our lead
38:25from you
39:00we are
39:02we are
39:02we are
39:27What is this? Hide and seek.
39:29I told you not to overstep the mark.
39:31And I made it clear. Can't blanch or nothing at all.
39:33Trade unionists and businessmen in the Abbey.
39:35If you want to stay on the throne, yes.
39:38In a trim-down televised coronation.
39:40If you want to avoid a revolution, yes. You forget.
39:43I have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown
39:47because they're out of step with the people.
39:49I left Greece in an orange crate. My father would have been killed.
39:52My grandfather was. I'm just trying to protect you.
39:55From whom? The British people?
39:57You have no idea who they are or what they want.
40:00Oh, oh, I'm just Johnny Foreigner again who doesn't understand.
40:03Fine. Fine. You want a big, overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of the country is on rations?
40:09Have it. But don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of our children are on spikes.
40:15If the people are hungry, they want something that lifts them up.
40:18And how do you propose lifting them if they cannot see it?
40:23The people look to the monarchy for something bigger than themselves.
40:26An inspiration. A higher ideal.
40:28If you put it in their homes, allow them to watch it with their dinner on their lips.
40:33Democratize it. Make them feel that they share in it. Understand it.
40:36All right. Right. I'll support you in the terrorizing.
40:46You won't regret it.
40:48On one condition.
40:53That you kneel.
41:07Who told you?
41:09My Prime Minister.
41:12He said you intended to refuse.
41:14No, I merely asked the question whether it was right in this day and age that the Queen's consort, her
41:18husband, should kneel to her rather than stand beside her.
41:23He won't be kneeling to me.
41:25That's not how it will look. That's not how it will feel.
41:27It will feel like a eunuch. An amoeba is kneeling before his wife.
41:31He'll be kneeling before God and the crown, as we all do.
41:34I don't see you kneeling before anyone.
41:35I'm not kneeling because I'm already flattened under the weight of this thing.
41:38Oh, spare me the false humility. It doesn't look like that to me.
41:41How does it look to you?
41:42It looks to me like you're enjoying it.
41:43It's released an unattractive sense of authority and entitlement that I have never seen before.
41:48And in you, it's released a weakness, an insecurity I've never seen before.
41:51Are you my wife or my Queen?
41:53I'm both.
41:54I want to be married to my wife.
41:56I am both, and a strong man will be able to kneel to both.
41:59I will not kneel before my wife.
42:00But your wife is not asking you to.
42:02But my Queen commands me.
42:03Yes.
42:03I beg you, make an exception for me.
42:10No.
43:02Come on.
43:03Come on.
43:03They'll be here soon.
43:09David, you're our host, darling.
43:14You're right there.
43:36All right, everyone, she's arriving, the dreaded gold stake coach, made in the 1760s, and the
43:47most uncomfortable ride known to man.
43:56Final checks, please, gentlemen.
43:59West door.
44:00West door, sir.
44:02Triforium.
44:03Triforium.
44:03Stand by, sir.
44:04South transept.
44:06South transept.
44:08Orban screen.
44:09Orban screen.
44:09Standing by, sir.
44:10Triforium two.
44:12Triforium two.
44:13Standing by, sir.
44:14Gentleman.
44:16Three, two, one.
44:42Who's that?
44:44One.
44:45Oh.
44:46Uh...
44:49Oh, it's Lord Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle, the man that gave away India and his
44:57own wife.
44:58handle the pain.
45:00Can't hold it by narrow, if you please.
45:02Oh, my God.
45:06Oh, my God.
45:13Oh, my God.
45:14Oh, my God.
45:14Oh, my God.
45:15Oh, my God.
45:18Oh, my God.
45:27Oh, my God.
45:28Oh, my God.
45:36Come ye before Him and will rejoice.
45:54Moving forwards now, four knights of the Garter, the Dukes of Wellington and Portland, the Earl Fortescue and the Mycount
46:02Allendeck, bringing with them a golden canopy to shield Her Majesty from view during the most sacred of the coronation
46:09rituals, the Anointing.
46:11In three, two, one.
46:23Where'd she go?
46:26And now we come to the Anointing.
46:31The single most holy, most solemn, most sacred moment.
46:38The entire service.
46:43So how come we don't get to see it?
46:47Because we are mortals.
46:48So how come we don't get to see it?
46:57So how come we don't get to see it?
47:18Is your Majesty willing to take the oath?
47:24I am willing.
47:28Will you maintain and preserve this?
47:42Invariably.
47:46I will.
47:48I will.
48:11I am...
48:15anointed with holy oil.
48:36With thy breast
48:39anointed with holy oil.
48:48With thy head anointed with holy oil.
49:01As kings, priests, and prophets
49:07were anointed,
49:09and as Solomon was anointed
49:18king
49:20by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet,
49:26so be thou anointed,
49:29blessed, and consecrated queen
49:34over the peoples
49:36whom the Lord thy God
49:40hath given thee to rule
49:44and govern
49:46in the name of the Father,
49:49and of the Son,
49:51and of the Holy Ghost.
49:57Amen.
49:59Amen.
50:02Amen.
50:12Amen.
50:14Oils and oaths,
50:16orbs and scepters,
50:19symbol upon symbol,
50:22an unfathomable web
50:24of arcane mystery and liturgy,
50:28Blurring so many lines, no clergyman or historian or lawyer could ever untangle any of it.
50:39It's crazy.
50:40On the contrary, it's perfectly sane.
50:43Who wants transparency when you can have magic?
50:49Who wants prose when you can have poetry?
50:54Pull away the veil, and what are you left with?
50:59An ordinary young woman of modest stability and little imagination.
51:07Wrap her up like this, anoint her with oil, and hey presto, what do you have?
51:18A goddess.
51:23Say, look at this.
51:29And listen to the mountains, the mountains, the mountains, the mountains.
52:09How do you think you turned all that down?
52:19That chance to be a god.
52:26I turned it down for something greater still.
52:39For love.
52:55For love.
53:17For love.
53:34I feel it.
53:36Do you modern.
53:38It became your least mind of life in this person?
53:43I felt IDF.
53:47against all manner of folks, so help me God.
