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.

05:31oh
05:31oh
06:54Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so.
07:06Oh.
07:07Any idea where the Duke is?
07:08His Royal Highness went flying, ma'am.
07:10Howdy?
07:10Again.
07:18So when's the big day?
07:21Pilot's exam.
07:23Two weeks.
07:24Are 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
07:40in British aviation history.
07:41It is.
07:42Please.
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.
08:23What else am I supposed to do?
08:24Sit around and wait for you while you're queening?
08:27Queening?
08:27Yes.
08:28Queening.
08:29Maybe I'd like your help with the queening.
08:31In 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.
08:57The Duke of Norfolk will run the show.
08:59Oh.
08:59From an organizational perspective.
09:01Look after the seating, the route of the procession.
09:04But as chairman of the committee you would have name-button ideas.
09:08Inspire everyone.
09:09Lead them.
09:10They won't listen to me.
09:12The grey old men.
09:13The men with moustaches.
09:14They hate me.
09:19They do not hate you.
09:21They do.
09:22They treat me as an outsider.
09:26In irrelevance.
09:28Everyone does.
09:45Total control or nothing all.
09:49Those are my turns.
10:00but don't go mad what does that mean it means just don't go mad

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
19:46and inhumane
19:48and inhumane to you my beloved
19:49is wearing me down
19:52amen
19:59sorry to disturb you your royal highness

20:12he hoped you could make tomorrow

21:05good night
21:06good night
21:07good night
21:08good night
21:09good night
21:09good night
21:11good night
21:22is royal highness the duke of windsor your grace goodness what is this an ambush not at all sir
21:32no 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 the right thing
21:51regarding what the coronation
21:57what about the coronation
22:03we acknowledge as a as a member of the queen's close family you are entitled to attend
22:14but also feel that the attendance at this sacred ceremony by one who however good his reasons
22:24did not feel capable of undertaking the obligations himself
22:34it could strike a wrong note and would be deeply upsetting to whom to everyone concerned i didn't
22:45ask you tommy this is cookie's work isn't it queen mother's it's got her
22:54pudgy little fingers all over it she asked you to do her dirty work for her and you agreed archbishop
23:00shame on you i will attend if i want and i do want and so does my wife alas no
23:06sir
23:08of course the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you as a royal duke but that
23:14obligation does not extend to the duchess of windsor and it is my duty to inform you on behalf of
23:21the
23:21royal family and the government with whom we have worked in close consultation that she will not be offered an
23:28invitation
23:29oh it's madness
23:34the pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits seventeen years have elapsed since the abdication
23:46shouldn't bygones be bygones
23:49some things can never be forgotten which 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
24:27the 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 and 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 it is simply the same as the choice
25:13that caused all this offense in the first place
25:15namely would i do anything that excludes or disrespects the woman i love no 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
25:37and it wasn't from my own dear weak brother
25:40nothing weak about the late king sir
25:42i'm sure i speak for everyone present when i call him a hero
25:47hear hear
25:51my lord archbishop
25:54what a scold you are
25:56when 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 at the time of my abdication
26:17i find the sentiment oddly applicable to you too
26:22two
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 vultures 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 magistrates and get back to you
27:30we've just had a call from mulbrach
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
27:52then 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 she 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
28:30they were most liked
28:31not entirely
28:32i told shirley temple what i had my eye on
28:36thank you
28:37but as i shan be there when the jackals descend
28:39i don't suppose it would do much good
28:43what a vile tawdry rabble my relatives are
28:47and what a sad desiccated bunch of hyenas
28:51most 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
29:16as 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
29:35proving 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 nor on detail
30:02but one guest
30:04like
30:06and she always regarded herself
30:10as a servant of our country
30:13which she served
30:14to the end
30:17no sooner does someone in the family of potlick clogs
30:20they ask themselves right
30:21how's it done last time
30:22and it's done exactly the same way again
30:28the people who have come to shame 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
30:39in 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
31:06earth to earth
31:07earth to earth
31:07ashes to ashes
31:10dust to dust
31:13ensure that so to cope with the resurrection of the eternal life
31:18and all of the Christians
31:19our lord Lord Jesus Christ Father
31:22you yourä¾®red
31:23and failure sent to
31:25the road
31:28warning all the europeans
31:30do
31:34our Lord Lord Jesus
31:36Ladies and gentlemen, you know what's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen, you know what's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
32:02We should go.
32:18Good morning.
32:23What's up?
32:24What is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old toenings?
32:32A herd pack.
32:37School.
32:38.
33:08gentlemen i'd like to start by saying how very honored i feel to be working with all the great
33:13minds and talents here in this room today as we come together to organize the very best
33:19coronation for my wife queen we all know the scale of the challenge that faces us
33:28the eyes of the world will be on us britain will be on show and we must put our best
33:34foot forward
33:37in such circumstances the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent set by
33:44the grand and successful coronations of the past but looking to the past for our inspiration would
33:53be a mistake in my view britain today is not the britain of past coronations assumptions made at
34:00the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made anymore that is why i think
34:08we
34:09should adapt this ceremony make it less ostentatious more egalitarian show more respect and sensitivity
34:19to the real world we have a new sovereign young and a woman let us give her a coronation that
34:28is
34:28befitting of the wind of change that she represents modern and forward-looking at a moment in time
34:36were exciting technological developments and making things possible we never dreamt of which brings
34:41me to my next point
34:55it's a unconscionable vulgarization
35:04it's a unconscionable vulgarization
35:16zoom lenses oh no it 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
35:59we can both see what's going on here a young couple are playing marital games with the most
36:04cherished parts of our history and pageantry our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these
36:11radical proposals television being just the tip of the iceberg
36:19she's simply trying to keep peace in her own bedchamber
36:22by promoting her husband keeping him happy and occupied and virile
36:30that's what's going on here winston why uh what else has he proposed
36:40prime minister your majesty
37:02please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband
37:06i told him not to go mad
37:10no one is questioning the duke of edinburgh's motives or the sincerity of his beliefs
37:17i see he went mad
37:20the changes he is proposing to an ancient sacred never previously changed liturgy and text
37:32if it went from top to toe
37:36and if it were just a business it would be applauded but this isn'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
37:59or should it remain above temporal matters
38:08what say you
38:13no ma'am
38:16what say you
38:19the decision is yours to make
38:23we will take our lead from you
38:42to get your head
38:47we have
38:48no ma'am
38:50Oh, my God.
39:27what is this hide and seek i told you not to overstep the mark and i made it clear
39:31can't planch or nothing at all trade unionists and businessmen in the abbey if you want to
39:36stay on the throne yes in a trim down televised coronation if you want to avoid a revolution
39:42yes you forget i have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown
39:47because they're out of step with the people i left greece in an orange crate my father would
39:51have been killed my grandfather was just trying to protect you from whom the british people you
39:58have no idea who they are or what they want oh oh i'm just johnny foreigner again who doesn't
40:03understand fine fine you want a big overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of
40:07the country is on rations have it but don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of
40:13our children are on spikes the people are hungry they want something that lifts them

41:15whether it was right in this day and age that the queen's consort her husband should kneel to her
41:20rather than stand beside her you won't be kneeling to me that's not how it will feel it will feel
