00:02:14That's not a proposal. I can't do that without my mother's permission.
00:02:18But I realise more than anything in the world, I want you to be my wife.
00:02:30That's a complete disaster.
00:02:32He is. Including the Prime Minister's claim that Saddam's apparently non-existent weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes.
00:02:40So the Scots cart will be there.
00:02:44Rest on the platform near the High Older.
00:02:53Good morning, gentlemen.
00:02:55Good morning, ma'am.
00:02:55Good morning.
00:02:56Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting is,
00:03:00and I should say it's not because we have any reason to be fearful...
00:03:03Oh, get on with it, David.
00:03:05...that we might really step up our planning of Operation London Bridge.
00:03:10That's the code name for your funeral, ma'am.
00:03:13We know what it is, Edward.
00:03:15Is that really necessary?
00:03:17I recently got a clean bill of health, and in terms of age, I'm only...
00:03:2080.
00:03:21Yes, all right. Not quite.
00:03:23A matter of months.
00:03:25Simply for reasons of prudence and good order.
00:03:27Well, in which case, why not start with the Duke of Edinburgh?
00:03:30He's older than me.
00:03:31And statistically, men tend to die earlier.
00:03:34Well, that's true.
00:03:34And that's why we've been working on mine for years.
00:03:38Operation Forth Bridge.
00:03:40Oh.
00:03:40No, don't say that.
00:03:41Why?
00:03:42It's so sad.
00:03:44Oh, no.
00:03:46No, it's...
00:03:46I'm finding it all rather stimulating.
00:03:49You might, too.
00:03:51It's surprising what it all stirs up.
00:03:53Isn't it, Edward?
00:03:54So, with your permission, ma'am, can we make a start?
00:03:57Let's go.
00:04:16As a template, we've used the funeral of the late King George VI.
00:04:20We would call on an estimated 6,000 military personnel at the procession.
00:04:26A tri-service parade, embracing each of the armed services,
00:04:31alongside representatives from the 15 other Commonwealth realms.
00:04:36The gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard.
00:04:40They will march at the customary rhythm of certain places.
00:04:44And also, because two spiritual systems, can we make a start?
00:04:58It'sì–¼...
00:05:08That's what we want to do, the gouffs...
00:07:12Do you remember when he first came to power, they took to the streets and cheered.
00:07:17Now they want to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:07:21And Tony Blair has become Tony Blyer.
00:07:25One's reminded once again that the career of prime ministers is nasty, brutish and short.
00:07:31Except I gather he's no intention of stepping down.
00:07:33His ambition is to become the first Labour prime minister to win a third successive term.
00:07:38That's the thing.
00:07:40Once people get a taste of life at the top, they never want to leave.
00:07:43Is that right?
00:07:44I just want to keep on and on.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49Anyway, I'm sure this is not why you've come to see me today.
00:07:53No.
00:08:01I've come to make a request I wish I'd made 30 years ago.
00:08:07To ask your blessing to marry Camilla.
00:08:15Can't say this has come out of the blue, mummy.
00:08:18She and I have been in love now for 30 years.
00:08:23And every day of those 30 years, she has been heroic.
00:08:27You don't think ending her relationship with you once you'd married Diana would have been heroic?
00:08:33She did.
00:08:34Camilla is blameless in that regard.
00:08:36She always wanted to keep her marriage.
00:08:38Then why didn't she?
00:08:39Because her husband left.
00:08:41And why did he do that?
00:08:43Because he'd had enough, as I understand it, of reading about her adultery with you in the newspapers.
00:08:47You and I both know Andrew is no angel.
00:08:50He was serially unfaithful himself.
00:08:52So can we agree there's nothing heroic about any of this?
00:08:55For years and years, Camilla has suffered judgment and calumny and never, ever complained.
00:09:01Not once.
00:09:03That is heroic.
00:09:06Instead, she stayed silent and loyal to you and the crown.
00:09:12But not a single thank you in return.
00:09:15A thank you?
00:09:16Yes, thank you.
00:09:17Not just for her discretion, but for loving and making happy the person who's next in line.
00:09:26That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:38What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:44He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50You always said, Mommy, that you couldn't do the job without Papa by your side.
00:09:57That he's your strength and stay.
00:10:02And Camilla is my strength.
00:10:04And my stay.
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her.
00:10:11I will reflect on it.
00:10:14Take advice.
00:10:17And give you an answer soon.
00:10:50You all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge.
00:10:54Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:10:57Oh, yes.
00:10:58A little heavy at the moment, ma'am.
00:10:59But it will shrink down nicely as you begin to express your preferences.
00:11:03My preference would be a quiet service in Scotland, out of sight and over in 20 minutes.
00:11:09Perfectly understandable.
00:11:10But this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest-serving monarch in history.
00:11:14People will want to celebrate your reign and mark the end of an era.
00:11:18Not just here, but all around the world.
00:11:20So, I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies depending upon where the, uh, forgive me, ma'am, the, uh,
00:11:28death actually occurs.
00:11:30If it's abroad, ma'am, or here in the United Kingdom.
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local.
00:11:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:11:39The first chapter is, if the event occurs on a foreign tour, please turn to page 10.
00:11:53Are you guys going to Harry Meade's birthday party?
00:11:56Definitely.
00:11:57When is it?
00:11:58Next week.
00:11:59Should be good.
00:12:00Two hundred and fifty people going.
00:12:03Fancy dress.
00:12:04I hate fancy dress.
00:12:05You have to rent a costume which invariably stinks of other people's B.O.
00:12:09Fucking royal twat.
00:12:12Meet my brother.
00:12:13Life and soul.
00:12:15What's the theme?
00:12:17Colonials and natives.
00:12:19Then there's that.
00:12:20You think they could have picked a more offensive theme?
00:12:23Mate, you're such an undergraduate now.
00:12:25You'd have never said that before you went to uni.
00:12:27Now I am saying it.
00:12:28Cliché.
00:12:28That's me, Dad.
00:12:29I'm out.
00:12:30Fucking idiot.
00:12:31Come on, lad.
00:12:32You know, you can't fucking shoot me.
00:12:35Fuck you.
00:12:36Fuck the rest.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on.
00:12:38Hold on.
00:12:39Hold on.
00:12:39He's going.
00:12:39Hold on.
00:12:40He's going to kick his arse.
00:12:41He's going to kick his arse.
00:12:42Fucking ass.
00:12:43Goose.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses.
00:12:48I just had a call from the Queen's private secretary.
00:12:52Can you come down, please?
00:12:54It's never good when they come in packs.
00:12:59Yeah.
00:12:59Oh, my God.
00:13:13Excuse me.
00:13:28your majesty
00:13:29my lord bishops
00:13:32i asked you all here today
00:13:34because the prince of wales
00:13:36has requested my permission
00:13:37to marry mrs parker bowls
00:13:43and i think i'd like to grant it
00:13:51and of course as head of the church of england
00:13:54that is your right
00:13:57but it will not be straightforward
00:13:59or one suspects popular
00:14:02why i was led to believe
00:14:05the general senate had eased its stance
00:14:07on the marriage of divorcees
00:14:08it has
00:14:10but
00:14:11many people in this country still believe
00:14:14that the relationship between the prince of wales
00:14:17and mrs parker bowls
00:14:19was responsible
00:14:20for the breakdown of a royal marriage
00:14:23the church
00:14:25i think needs to be satisfied
00:14:27that permitting the new marriage
00:14:30would not in effect
00:14:32consecrate a past infidelity
00:14:35for the church of england to be seen to be blessing it
00:14:38could risk a split in the anglican communion
00:14:43one suggestion could be that
00:14:45and i would be interested in hearing the archbishop of canterbury's view
00:14:50that the prince and mrs parker bowls
00:14:52marry in a civil ceremony
00:14:54and then have a church blessing afterwards
00:14:57in a registry office
00:15:00in the eyes of the church
00:15:01no marriage service is more legitimate than another
00:15:04it's more a question of signals
00:15:06appearances
00:15:08the condition of the blessing
00:15:11could be some form of atonement
00:15:15quite so
00:15:16some acknowledgement of wrongdoing on the couple's part
00:15:24the service might include a prayer of penitence
00:15:27in which the couple join with the congregation
00:15:30in asking forgiveness for past
00:15:34wickedness
00:15:39i've always taken comfort in the knowledge that god
00:15:42retaineth not his anger forever
00:15:45because he delighteth in mercy
00:15:49whatever short-term risk the marriage may present to the integrity of the church
00:15:54one has to imagine
00:15:55it would do less damage
00:15:57than if i were to die
00:15:59well it is going to happen
00:16:01one day
00:16:04and my heir acceded to the throne
00:16:07while living in sin
00:16:24good afternoon sir
00:16:25good afternoon sir
00:16:26it was an incredible decision
00:16:30your all highnesses her majesty will see you now

00:17:18it's what he wants to do
00:17:22how would you both feel
00:17:24about him getting married
00:17:25i knew it
00:17:28why can't they just carry on as they are
00:17:29because charles would be king one day
00:17:32the last time we had an unmarried king on the throne
00:17:34it did not end well
00:17:36yeah but was he
00:17:36william

00:20:28it's done
00:21:36Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted,
00:21:42all this talk of my funeral has stirred things up a bit.
00:21:47Anything you want to discuss?
00:21:50Not yet.
00:21:58Well, in that case, good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:36Wait, thank you.
00:23:06Your Majesty, you asked to see me.
00:23:09I did.
00:23:11I hope you know how much everyone appreciates your beautiful music every day.
00:23:16I don't mind telling you.
00:23:17There are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit...
00:23:22Then I hear you play and all that goes away.
00:23:25Thank you, ma'am.
00:23:27They've got me planning my funeral at the moment, just as a precaution,
00:23:32and I'm in the process of choosing the music
00:23:35and wondered if there was a tune for the pipes you thought might work.
00:23:42There are a number of laments written for fallen soldiers, ma'am.
00:23:49I will go home to contain.
00:23:50It springs to mind.
00:23:52Lord Lovett's lament.
00:23:53But is there a particular one that you like?
00:23:56Me, ma'am?
00:23:58Yes, Pipes.
00:23:59You.
00:24:05There is...
00:24:09There is one that I particularly like.
00:24:15It's sleep, dearie sleep.
00:24:18Will you play it for me?
00:24:25What now?
00:24:26Why not?
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:29It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:24:31It's not a din to me.
00:24:58It is a pitiful.
00:24:59So, I'll go for it.
00:25:00I'll go for it.
00:25:03I'll go for it.
00:25:04But it's true.
00:25:05Don't you?
00:25:10One of a din, ma'am.
00:25:11One of a din, ma'am.
00:25:11One of a din, ma'am.
00:25:28Soldier, lie down on your wee pickle store
00:25:36It's not very broad
00:25:41And it's not very broad
00:25:46But dearie, it's better than nothing
00:25:53It's all sleep, dearie sleep
00:26:33Here we go, what about an astronaut?
00:26:36Or a cowboy
00:26:37No, he's more of a goody-goody
00:26:39Or a dick
00:26:40I'm going as a lion
00:26:41As a lion king
00:26:42Oh, R of R
00:26:43I'm going to ghost
00:26:44What about biggles?
00:26:46What's that got to do with colonials and natives?
00:26:48Good point
00:26:50Germany had an empire, didn't they?
00:26:52What about this?
00:26:54I don't know
00:26:55Maybe cover the swastika?
00:26:56Oh, come on
00:26:57Wearing the outfit doesn't make him a Nazi
00:27:00Isn't that the joke?
00:27:01How about that wedding dress for you?
00:27:03Come on

00:35:26No breakfast.
00:35:28Wasn't hungry.
00:35:29Not like you.
00:36:02Harry was foolish to go to that party dressed in that costume, but he was bloody unlucky
00:36:08that a fellow guest should go to the newspapers like that.
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:13So I phoned the costume rental shop, gave him a piece of my mind.
00:36:17Why?
00:36:19Why?
00:36:19What will it take to get you to understand?
00:36:21Should I draw it in sodding crayon?
00:36:26The uniform was inaccurate.
00:36:29The German African Corps never wore swastikas.
00:36:35A fact I impressed upon the sandhurst top brass, who happily agreed this latest episode should
00:36:43not prevent Harry entering officer training.
00:36:46Oh, well done.
00:36:47Oh, well done.
00:36:47To ban him would be madness and would only exacerbate the real problem.
00:36:53Which is?
00:36:54A lack of a sense of purpose due to a failure of responsible parenting.
00:37:02Yes.
00:37:06Do you want to discuss anything before I go?
00:37:09About what?
00:37:11Well, the funeral.
00:37:13Well, it might have stirred up for you.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:19Well.
00:37:19I'll be off.
00:37:22Duty calls.
00:37:25Ah.
00:37:35New card.
00:37:36Why didn't you tell him?
00:37:41What you've been thinking about?
00:37:42You've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral.
00:37:45In fact, since the golden jubilee.
00:37:48How tired.
00:37:50No, not just tired.
00:37:52Exhausted you are by it all.
00:37:55Years.
00:38:01How ready for a rest.
00:38:05And at the same time, how ready he suddenly looks.
00:38:09Who?
00:38:11Charles.
00:38:14Oh.
00:38:15Him.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:28We even have precedent.
00:38:30Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in favor of her daughter.
00:38:35Charlotte of Luxembourg was also in her late 60s.
00:38:37That's the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
00:38:38A bicycle monarchy is not something at all.
00:38:41It's exactly the same thing.
00:38:42And in both cases, a great success.
00:38:49You've been on the throne for over half a century.
00:39:20That's longer than any other queen.
00:39:21Stepping down.
00:39:23Stepping down is the right thing to do.
00:39:26As queen and as a mother.
00:39:28Right.
00:39:29And a blacksmith.
00:39:41You have the bloody vet.
00:39:57You have to find out.
00:40:06everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding
00:40:109th of april at the guild hall in windsor
00:40:14we also felt given your role as head of the church of england and the church's position
00:40:20that marriage is a lifelong commitment that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony
00:40:25in person the idea being you can watch the coverage on television and and then join
00:40:31everyone for the service at st george's chapel and the reception at windsor castle
00:40:39has the prime minister been invited to the reception yes ma'am and the leader of the
00:40:45opposition yes and the archbishop of canterbury yes and there will be an opportunity for me
00:40:52to say a few words oh i'm sure everyone would would be delighted would you like me to draft
00:40:59something that won't be necessary i'll write something myself that's all thank you robin
00:41:19you were all for the uniform in the costume shop egging me on now suddenly you're mr morality
00:41:24oh okay right stabbing me in the back ladies and gentlemen of the jury how many faces does
00:41:29this man have you know i'm not sure i like you're turning into and i'm not sure i like you've
00:41:32been

00:41:36how was supper well i'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant
00:41:41boys were snapping at each other well that's just boys
00:41:45can i just make one request that you don't make my wedding day a misery
00:41:51i've waited too long for it yes but you didn't witness it it was horrid how they were to each
00:41:58other vicious and unkind they're young riding the waves of emotion which is understandable after
00:42:05what they've been through are they going to blame me do you think and hold me responsible for the way
00:42:12they've turned out well being their father you are responsible for making it better
00:42:20as soon as they're through tomorrow everything will be fine
00:42:25well i do hope so how are you me i'm all right
00:42:32my sister persuaded me to get a fake tan so now i smell like the dog's blanket
00:42:41are you having any last minute doubts not me i'm in
00:42:50for all of it for whatever being married to you turns out to be
00:42:56well you might find out what that entails sooner than you imagine what's that supposed to mean
00:43:04i've been told that the queen intends to make a speech at the reception afterwards
00:43:08a speech which nobody has seen and which she's um written herself
00:43:17it feels like she's planning a big announcement
00:43:22my father met with anne to ask what she thought was in it but she's as baffled as the rest
00:43:27of us
00:43:28then anne rang andrew and he went riding with the queen but you know andrew drew a complete blank
00:43:37so if her intention was to set tongues wagging she certainly succeeded
00:43:43don't give it any further thought
00:43:46yes
00:43:48just think about the boys
00:43:51thank you darling
00:44:11yeah
00:44:16dinner was weird
00:44:21yeah
00:44:24when he overcompensates like that
00:44:27this could be an exciting new chapter for us all
00:44:32bath
00:44:33a few years ago
00:44:35it would have pissed me off
00:44:37now i just don't care
00:44:44i heard granny's going to make a speech at the wedding
00:44:47would you like to know what else i had
00:44:52that she's going to use the occasion to tell the family she's standing down
00:44:57after 50 years in the job
00:44:58she'd never do that
00:45:00and even if she did why on past big day
00:45:02because it's the wedding present he most wants
00:45:07he does want it doesn't he craves it
00:45:12for him and for camilla
00:45:18if she did you know what else it would mean
00:45:21it would be you next
00:45:24that would make you william the fifth
00:45:27better than second
00:45:28he was assassinated by his brother
00:45:31was he
00:45:32who would you believe was also called prince harry
00:45:35he had william killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to winchester to claim the throne for himself
00:45:44don't worry me i wouldn't do that to you
00:46:01really
00:46:06thank you
00:46:08thank you
00:46:38and then wait
00:46:39you boys
00:46:47thank you
00:48:11I don't know what you think you're doing.
00:48:14I'm doing the sensible thing, the responsible thing.
00:48:19If we're not careful, if I go on another 20, 25 years, a tired, white-haired, geriatric
00:48:26queen will hand over to a tired, white-haired, geriatric Prince of Wales.
00:48:58Those are the rules.
00:49:00You're fit enough to ride and drive, so you're fit enough to wear the crown.
00:49:03You remember what Queen Mary told you?
00:49:08Another geriatric.
00:49:12Monarchy is something you are, not what you do.
00:49:15The crown is a symbol of permanence, of stability, of continuity.
00:49:19If you step down, you will be symbolizing instability and impermanence.
00:49:25You'll also be indicating the luxury of choice, which is the one thing we cannot have if we
00:49:30claim the crown is also our birthright.
00:49:33So you would have a superannuated old lady running the show, while a fit, energetic Prince
00:49:38of Wales watches on, straining at the leash.
00:49:40But I don't see you as decrepit.
00:49:43Since the Jubilee, since Mummy's death, I see you as liberated.
00:49:48Confident.
00:49:50You say that Charles is in his prime.
00:49:52Well, I see you in yours.
00:49:58And admit it.
00:50:01You sometimes think there's a difference between you and the rest of the family.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:11It comes naturally to you.
00:50:15They all seem to make such a mess of it.
00:50:18I didn't say that.
00:50:22No, but you've thought it.
00:50:24Privately.
00:50:27And with good reason.
00:50:31This system is a dreadful thing to inflict upon people.
00:50:35It's not natural.
00:50:37It's not fair.
00:50:39It's not kind.
00:50:42But you seem to thrive in it.
00:50:46And more importantly, it seems to thrive under you.
00:50:52So shouldn't you stay for every single day that you can?
00:51:00But what about the life I put aside?
00:51:06The woman I put aside when I became queen?
00:51:16What sort of question is that?
00:51:19For years now, there has been just one Elizabeth.
00:51:24Queen Elizabeth.
00:51:30If you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor, you wouldn't find her.
00:51:37She's gone.
00:51:40Long gone.
00:51:43You buried her years ago.
00:52:03And here they are, his royal highness, the prince of Wales, and her royal highness, the duchess of Cornwall, facing
00:52:09the public for the first time as man and wife.
00:52:13No fairy tale kiss from the happy couple for the onlookers. Instead, smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Ready?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:31A son. A speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:42Are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure. Thank you.
00:52:49Come on.
00:53:14Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men,
00:53:22we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickeds,
00:53:28which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against thy divine majesty,
00:53:37provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us.
00:53:42We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us.
00:53:57Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.
00:54:00Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:02Grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life,
00:54:08in the honour and glory of thy name.
00:54:11Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:54:25Thank you very much.
00:54:52I'm ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:09May silence for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:44Today has been a memorable day, with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago, and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7-to-1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14
00:56:04lengths.
00:56:05Royal Leclerc finished second, simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chaplain at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21It is to be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for
00:57:28years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour.
00:58:13Both, as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:54Yes!
00:58:56Yes!
00:59:01This way!
00:59:08Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:11Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14Are you sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Nothing.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to.
00:59:43Go bad.
00:59:45I was going to say need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah.
00:59:53Photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside.
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:05Your royal highnesses.
01:00:06Your royal highnesses.
01:00:08Your future majesty.
01:00:13Your royal highnesses.
01:00:14Thank you very much.
01:00:16Ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:17Tootie.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:18Come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them.
01:00:23Keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:40Harry.
01:00:42Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you your majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake.
01:00:47Get out of the way.
01:00:48This way please everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:00:59God's sake.
01:01:01Take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:03All right.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14For what e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way please.
01:01:30This way everyone please.
01:01:35Well that was a surprise.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh.
01:02:33Night on the town?
01:02:34Joyriding?
01:02:35Ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as queen for as long as you possibly can for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No.
01:03:11But I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember?
01:03:12I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:29The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:32This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:41We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is, that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep dearly sleep.
01:04:38Oh.
01:04:39You looked?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:43A piper's lament.
01:04:46Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:53And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58You looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:03Well.
01:05:09I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:29I'll leave you again.
01:05:31And now, if you go now...
01:05:31I can't do it anyway.
01:05:33I can't do it anymore.
01:05:48I can't wait for you.
