00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:57One, two, three...
02:58Come on!
03:08Hello?

04:07are you still in tesha i am missing you terribly
04:14back soon though my darling are you still making the speech in oxford tomorrow yes
04:21that's the reason i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it is it very long
04:25only we're a full house no no no short and punchy and a bit controversial which is why i want
04:32your
04:33opinion you always know best when to rein me in all right oh remind me of the subject the teaching
04:41of
04:41english language in schools it is quite astounding to think that in england we have produced one of
04:49the world's most beautiful languages however the rate at which that language is degenerating has become
04:55a cause for concern it's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats
05:02of shelley of shakespeare efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching
05:08are no longer a priority if we look at the way english is used in business in the popular press
05:14or on television programs or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
05:20very long as we have had to see here and i'm the first one here all right
05:34What's the address?
05:35Front drive, front drive.
05:37And what town are you in?
05:38A chapter.
05:39It's funny exactly what's happened.
06:04Yeah.
06:04He's just all up and down, can you hear him bleed?
06:06Stop it.
06:07Yeah, no, he's doing his bleed.
06:08He's checking the piss, he's lost in.
06:10Have they been here?
06:11Yes, I'll tell you.
06:12Sir, sir, can you calm down and tell me exactly what you're doing?
06:15You'll see just how it mavericks our great mother tongue as you come.
06:20Everything happens at the end of the day, and every situation is a win-win.
06:26As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this, but...
06:30The rot begins in the very institutions whose duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
06:39If we want to produce the next generation of great writers, we must use our education system
06:44to protect what is surely our greatest national export, the English language.
06:51Which, like any language, is so much more than a collection of words.
06:56It's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
07:05What do you think?
07:06Oh, I think it's brilliant.
07:09I mean, you could go further.
07:10Our language is like an endangered species that needs to be protected.
07:14It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
07:16Oh, I quite agree.
07:19I read it for my private secretary, so I might have gone too far.
07:22I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
07:26Yes.
07:28I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
07:32Just feel one's way along with it, if you...
07:35If you know what I mean.
07:36Mmm.
07:38You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
07:42Stop it.
07:46It's too dangerous.
07:48If we run this, we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:55But, er, I don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else, either.
08:03So pay him what he wants.
08:05Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:12Be gone to sleep.
08:15Now I'm here.
08:20Night of you.
08:23Adore you.
08:26Night.
08:29Night.
08:30Night.
08:59Tribeca.
10:10You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
16:49Any other thoughts of Jesus?
16:52And ourQuƩ bijvoorbeeld we're going to Therapy Scotland.Ɣvel
17:00Ladies and Barty,
17:00how did you teachčÆ framers?
17:01by setting up committees or task forces hoping to find ways forward,
17:07it might be useful to acknowledge that the solution we are looking for
17:16could be right under our noses.
17:33PHONE RINGS
17:41Hey, Lars.
17:43Yes?
17:49Yep.
17:54Yep.
17:59Check it already.
18:00Right.
18:21What's that?
18:25Yes.
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:48Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it
18:57because of the potential damage it might do to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated,
19:04the newspaper feels at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts
19:12to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:17How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults.
19:27No one else's business.
19:29Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
19:40which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:44Don't you remember the conversation?
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:03What do you think?
20:05I think it's brilliant.
20:07I think you could go further.
20:10Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:18I quite agree.
20:19I really might cry with the secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to...
20:27leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it.
20:38If you know what I mean.
20:40Mmm.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:51God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:01That's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:14It's like that program Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm all right.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:38I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:45Do you?
21:46Mmm.
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately.
21:49Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just...
21:53...live inside your trousers or something.
21:55It would be so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into? A pair of knickers?
22:00Oh, God forbid. A Tampax and just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:07What a wonderful idea.
22:10My luck to get chucked down the lavatrons.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top, never going down.
22:17Oh, darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:24What sort of box?
22:26A box of Tampax.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38No, I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Night-night, my darling. I do love you.
22:48Love you, too.
22:52Don't want to say goodbye.
22:54Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14Oh, darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16Oh, God.
23:18So do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:22What are you doing?
23:27Night.
23:30Night.
23:31Night.
23:32Love you.
23:33I adore you.
23:36Night.
23:38Night.
23:39Night.
24:44Here, I bought you some weapons-grade, entirely chemical cold medication.
24:52I know you're probably taking some sort of root herb.
24:57Garlic, ginger, and elderberry.
25:00I thought I'd bring you something that actually works.
25:06Poor you.
25:11Some assassination.
25:15Complete decimation of my character and everything I've worked so hard for.
25:22It's no secret, I think, over the years, you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself.
25:29But no one deserves this.
25:38It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
25:41As if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone.
25:44Said embarrassing things.
25:47It was all a bit embarrassing, wasn't it?
25:51It was a little gynecological, in my taste.
25:57Well, as I'd taken my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat.
26:02God.
26:03It was a surprising residue left.
26:07Of being touched by two teenagers of a certain age, being so gloriously human and entirely in love.
26:23For that alone, you deserve some credit.
26:27In this family especially.
26:30You are sweet.
26:34I doubt our dear Papa will see it that way.
26:45All right.
26:49I'll speak to you tomorrow.
26:58If I weren't so ashamed, I might confess of admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement.
27:04In one fell swoop, you've succeeded in alienating the church over your moral fitness,
27:10the politicians over your conduct unbecoming,
27:13the House of Commons is in uproar.
27:16They're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button.
27:22Among your many entirely unjustified military honours
27:27is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales.
27:31I wonder if you might remind us of their motto.
27:38In English.
27:43Better death than dishonor.
27:45What's that? Speak up.
27:45Better death than dishonor.
27:49A sentiment on which you would do well to reflect.
28:01Are you still here?
28:20I'm so painful.
28:23And so public.
28:27So unnecessary, too.
28:30Everyone at HQ is frightened, my dear father included.
28:33They don't know how the world has changed, and everyone's just blaming everyone else.
28:38That's no excuse for gratuitous, sadistic exhibitionism.
28:42Sounds like playground bullying.
28:46The way the sycophants all nodded.
28:50Grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once.
28:55It leaves me no choice but to...
29:02To protect yourself.
29:06To...
29:07Look after yourself.
29:13Yes.
29:15Yes.
29:23Historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened, because nothing
29:26official has happened.
29:28But a change is happening.
29:30Sir.
29:31I ask if you look around you, what do you see?
29:32Not old, stuffy courtiers, but young, professional men and women of today.
29:38The Way Ahead group, or the lagging behind group, as I like to call them, was set up to prepare
29:44the monarchy for the coming millennium.
29:46But it seems to me they hold some confusion as to which millennium we're actually in.
29:50I think as a guiding principle, if we're interested in saving the monarchy, we should do the exact
29:54opposite of what the Way Ahead group recommends.
29:56I think we all agree, and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut, a dangerous
30:01rut.
30:02It's vital that people are given a reason to believe in and be excited about the future.
30:07And if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is, then the answer is...
30:10It's you, sir.
30:12But right now, the problem is, no one knows you.
30:15They don't know who you really are, or what you think, or feel.
30:18I quite agree.
30:20Well, what should we do about that?
30:23Well, one thought that we had was that, um, perhaps a mature, progressive, open television
30:31special would be a way to go, where the Prince of Wales is finally given the opportunity to
30:35freely air his voice.
30:38Alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview, we could grant cameras, unprecedented access
30:43to a future king at work, an intimate and authoritative profile of an enlightened, thoughtful,
30:51forward-thinking man who has been Prince of Wales for a quarter of a century, and a chance
30:57for him to lay out his vision for a modern monarchy, a modern Britain.
31:01Who are you thinking of as the interviewer?
31:04Well, there are a number of candidates, but the name we're most excited about is Jonathan
31:09Dimbleby.
31:12He's serious, he's forthright, he's independent-minded.
31:19People will know that it's not puffery or chocolate-box royalism with Dimbleby.
31:25There is an element of risk.
31:29He's bound to ask about the marriage at some point.
31:34But, in our view, there's a far greater prospect of reward.
31:44Thank you, John.
31:46I'm being measured.
31:48Just for your set?
31:49Ready to go.
31:49Good.
31:50Right.
31:50This is it.
31:54You're told.
31:55How are you?
31:56Sir.
31:57Where do you want me?
31:58What's this again?
31:59Please.
32:00Right, please.
32:04Right.
32:05Five, four, three.
32:09Your Royal Highness, it's fair to say that in recent years the royal family has been plagued
32:16by a certain amount of adversity.
32:19Do you think, with all these setbacks, to your family and to you personally, that the
32:26monarchy can still survive?
32:29Well, more than that, I hope it can flourish.
32:34But to do so, it needs to adapt.
32:38It's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform.
32:42I think that we're at a make-or-break time for the monarchy, and we need to be radical.
32:48But, of course, there's only so much that I can do as Prince of Wales.
32:53As king, you will also find yourself at the head of an established church.
32:57In the past, you have shown an interest in other faiths.
33:00How does that sit with a future role as supreme governor of the Church of England, defender of
33:06the faith?
33:08Well, of course, I prefer to think of myself not as a defender of just one faith, the Church
33:13of England, but as a defender of faith in general.
33:18Why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the crown?
33:22What about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus?
33:26Are they not its subjects as well?
33:28Well, there is, of course, one question above all that burns in the public's mind, and that
33:34relates to your marriage to the Princess of Wales.
33:37One of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were repeatedly unfaithful
33:43and that your close association with Camilla Parker Bowles was a deciding factor in its collapse.
33:50How do you answer that?
33:55Mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine, a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to
34:02have, and even within a marriage, one must still nurture outside friendships.
34:10And Mrs. Parker Bowles is just one of a number of friends that I've been close to over the
34:18years.
34:20When you married your wife, you made a pledge before God to uphold your wedding vows.
34:27Did you at least try to be faithful from the start?
34:30Of course.
34:31And were you?
34:32Yes.
34:39Until it became obvious that the marriage couldn't be saved, both of us having done our best.
34:59at which point I tried to do my duty, but there was, uh, there was nothing to be done.
35:15So, yes, uh, old friendships were rekindled.
35:26You've been very forthright in your response, very honest.
35:30Is it your hope that this issue will now go away?
35:35No.
35:37Well, I'd certainly prefer it.
35:40It typically stems, I think, from when, when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort
35:47ideal as husbands or as wives or as, as parents, and very often the truth is very far from that.
35:57The question people have to ask themselves is, what do they want in their leaders?
36:03Do they want someone who errs, but who learns from their mistakes, who grows, who, who recognizes
36:10the need for change, who has a vision, or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes,
36:20and to keep things as they are?
36:25Really, I think that's the clear choice that, uh, that people are faced with.
36:43Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed
36:48to showcase his work as Prince of Wales, and he appeared to have no regrets, as he greeted
36:53onlookers today during his first public appearance since the program aired.
37:00His aides were letting it be known they'd been delighted with the response to his controversial
37:05television profile.
37:06Palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support.
37:11The program contained a number of intimate revelations, including the Prince's close
37:15friendship with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles.
37:18The admission divided viewers between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt to clear
37:22the air and those who felt the Prince had made an error of judgment.
37:27There was no comment from Kensington Palace, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband
37:33by attending the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party this evening, putting on a defiant
37:38display in what many are already calling her revenge dress.
37:50The Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles, but there is little doubt that
37:57the war of the Waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase.
38:04Camilla! Camilla!
38:08Camilla!
38:09Camilla!
38:12Camilla!
38:13Camilla!
38:13Camilla!
38:14Camilla!
38:26Camilla!
38:27Camilla!
38:27Camilla!
38:48Reaction to the interview is divided
38:51between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king
38:55and should have had the good grace to stay silent
38:59and those that have been pleasantly surprised
39:05by what they saw and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general
39:15to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus,
39:21rather than defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies
39:31that are traditionally left unreached by the monarchs.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician
39:39because the crown itself is a unifying symbol.
39:43It binds together a kingdom of four nations
39:46and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:51Charles is frustrated because the crown has many of the functions
39:57of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate.
40:01But there's a danger in that.
40:04One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:29You're not eating?
40:33no you don't have an appetite i'm so surprised you do why it's delicious
40:43what's all this i hear about a book
40:47the idea is to do a book following on from the interview taking some of the points further why
40:56because a lot of the really important things i wanted to say about education and environment
41:00and architecture got drowned out by all the hoo-ha about adultery also people are interested
41:09maybe you're not as interested as you think maybe more interested than you think
41:15my post bag is anything to go by
41:26in the 18th century it was considered perfectly normal for the prince of wales to set up shop
41:30at leicester house to generate fresh ideas shadow monarchy lessons a rival court but this is not
41:38the 18th century and creating rival courts is not what we do in this family we close ranks behind
41:47the sovereign not to criticize her
41:51we're all after the same thing ann
42:00are you sure you won't have some of this asparagus it's fresh from the garden
42:22goodnight
42:23goodnight
42:33goodnight
43:03goodnight
43:04for years i've doubted charles
43:05The opposite. He might be as mad as everyone thinks, but he's not as weak as everyone thinks.
43:15Charles I saw today was strong, confident, mature.
43:23Not only does he have what it takes for the job, in some ways he's already begun.
43:28What do you mean?
43:30For the past year, possibly more.
43:34Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court at St. James'.
43:40His own Camelot. His own advisers. His own modern, progressive agenda.
43:51He knows one day he will be King Charles III.
43:55And if we want to know what that will look and feel like...
44:00Well, he's starting to show us.
44:17The whole point of the Prince's Trust is to equip young people like you with the skills and the confidence
44:25to fulfill your dreams and ambitions.
44:30Now, you may think that someone of my age and background wouldn't understand young people in your communities and the
44:37unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face.
44:42Well, as it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized and judged.
44:51And I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
44:57That people out there have no idea who I really am.
45:02How about you?
45:04I'm sure that each of you has something within you.
45:10An unacknowledged greatness.
45:13A talent that deserves to be recognized.
45:18And that's what the Prince's Trust is all about.
45:21To give you the confidence to believe in your ideas.
45:25And the money to bring them to fruition.
45:29I want to reach those that have been overlooked.

45:35To make sure that you've been given a chance.
45:40Because it's only when we risk reaching too far that we find out how far it's possible to go.
