00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:18on the defence.
04:36Thank you very much.
04:45I took what I did and this again told you...
04:47I did a call.
04:47from the sunday times today sir regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy and it's
04:52interesting when talking about the queen again and again the same words came up irrelevant old
04:59expensive out of touch quite distinct from the way people talked about you sir really
05:06should i cover my ears no on the contrary they described you as young energetic modern empathetic
05:14and when asked almost half believe you would make an excellent king and would support an
05:19early application by the queen in your favor
05:25the story is running when sunday week sir when i'll be in italy with the family well actually
05:32we think the timing of the holiday is ideal as you know a big part of your appeal as future
05:38king
05:38is the prospect of the princess of wales as queen yes so we've taken the liberty of briefing one or
05:44two friendly newspapers that it's a second honeymoon right
06:08that's what they said those are the words they used second honeymoon

10:58recuperating after being injured in the italian wars of independence am i right yes sir then on
11:05to capri to see the ruins of the magnificent villa jovis then down the amalfi coast onto sicily
11:11with a final stop in olbia on sardinia for a private view of the museo archeologico there
11:19and were there any other requests some beaches perhaps there will of course be
11:25beaches along the way and water sports and noisy water sports and shopping
11:37shopping it's possible some people might like to go shopping one day
11:40who show of hands would anyone apart from diana like to go shopping
11:47and the entire point of being on a beautiful yacht like this is that you can escape from
11:53hordes of people indulging in retailers recreation
12:00me i want to go shopping me too
12:10then we'll go shopping
12:21thanks for sticking up for me
12:24what's brave special treat you get to choose between a bedtime story or super mario don't tell your father

12:43good morning night love you i love you too my darlings
13:09charles and diana seem to be the happy couple again
13:13what a blessing that would be for everyone
13:20who's that what was what that noise
13:28there was a mechanical noise
13:34there it is again
13:35right i'm off
13:38one last day cutting ribbons in morecam
13:40then feet up for the summer
13:56as patron of the church urban fund i am aware of the vast challenges faced by this community
14:04and many others across the diocese
14:07the milk marketing board is among the most enduring and resilient of britain's commercial enterprises
14:15this state-of-the-art dairy complex is testament to the continuing vitality of british others
14:26it has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers
14:31representing a great 30 percent of the european freight market
14:36it is clear that intermodal containers are lancashire's ticket to a bright future
15:05how long has the pressure been down on that ground
15:08since this morning sir
15:22it shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart she's a creature of another age
15:28effectively a world war two cruiser with soft furnishings
15:32in many ways she's obsolete
15:34don't say that
15:36what are the options
15:37well we've trouble with the main engine
15:40stubborn boilers out of service
15:43sentimentally i think we'd all prefer to stick with her
15:47i should say
15:48but we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best
15:55are you seeing the prime minister in balmoral next week
15:58yes
15:58he's coming with his wife dora
16:00no that's not right
16:03nora
16:05well you might want to bring it up with him then
16:08i'll talk to the admiral and come up with some figures
16:12but it's the first time i've started to consider the unthinkable
16:15what's that
16:17a replacement
16:46built in
16:47built in
16:59good bye charles we'll miss you while we're having all the fun
17:07it's an extraordinary how two people's understanding of fun could be so wholly different
17:20when they suggested to us
17:23diana and i that
17:25we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon
17:31i said to them you obviously weren't at the first one
17:34on britannia wasn't it
17:36yes
17:36i know the queen thinks the royal yacht is perfect in every way
17:40but as a
17:41an intimate space for newlyweds
17:43it's like a floating observation tank
17:47every
17:49awkward silence
17:52stilted conversation between bride and glue
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200 crew
18:06did you just say bride and glue
18:09did i
18:16so the irony is i'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy
18:20it seems to lift the rest of the world up
18:26when we're together in public i can't deny it is magical the perfect team
18:33yet in private
18:39listen to me after everything you've been through with your girl
18:47she let me comb her hair last week
18:50first time since it's grown back
18:52do you know it's come back curly
18:56found myself slightly ashamed to think i actually prefer it that way
19:03it's a dreadful wicked disease
19:08you've all been so wonderfully strong
19:13is it important
19:15the sunday time sir
19:18oh yes
19:20i'll leave you to it
19:25it's running tomorrow

20:34has the queen gone to breakfast
20:36on our way sir
20:37make sure the sunday times is removed

20:45understood
20:46sir
20:46good morning
21:03majesty
21:05oh this effect
21:07no

21:23why not
21:24it's not today's it's yesterday's
21:26but yesterday was saturday and that i think we can all agree is the sunday times
21:32i mean last week's what but this is today's sunday telegraph today's mail on sunday
21:36and the latest racing post
21:38oh yes please
21:42thank you
22:05yes
22:08i'm sorry to disturb sir
22:12but i thought you should be aware of this
22:22it's outrageous
22:24she never stops she never complains she never puts a foot wrong she's utterly magnificent and they print rubbish like
22:31this
22:31looks like more rain on the way i shouldn't be surprised it is the west coast of scotland
22:38i suppose you've seen the sunday times
22:40oh morning robert
22:42good morning your majesty
22:44because i checked apparently it has been delivered
22:48i'll look into it ma'am
22:49when you find it i'll be on deck
23:06well to say the article has had an impact would be an understatement
23:10it's provoked significant debate on radio and television with one particular phrase getting most attention
23:16to queen victoria syndrome
23:19yes i saw that
23:23an aging monarch too long on the throne whose remoteness from the modern world has led people to grow tired
23:30not just of her but of the monarchy itself
23:36any reaction from the queen
23:38my understanding is she hasn't seen it
23:40that they've kept it from her to protect her feelings
23:45doesn't that tell you everything
23:51i'd like you to arrange a meeting
23:53with the prime minister
23:54as soon as we're back
23:57you'll think of her suitable pretext
23:59you'll think of her suitable pretext
23:59you'll think of her suitable pretext
24:06you'll think of her suitable pretext
24:07look it's a whale where
24:11oh good spot
24:14oh beck
24:15no look at the way it's surfacing it's a minky
24:19probably smell it before we see it again if we get any closer
24:22their blow smells of rotten cabbages
24:24a stinky minky
24:33oh
24:33there she is
24:35bladder
24:38there
24:42oh yes
24:44like a bulrush out of a pond
24:47isn't she a beauty
24:49you say so dear
24:53she's one of the last manned lighthouses in scotland
24:58why don't we pay her a visit
24:59really must we
25:00come on
25:01a bit of exercise is good for the figure
25:03at our age the weight does not stay off by itself
25:06come on
25:07no
25:08them
25:18and
25:19and
25:20and
25:38People wonder why I find lighthouses so inspiring when you get to a place like this.
25:55New query. Tim? No, he's been with us for a while. What come I never noticed? Because you're
26:07married. Are you technically? What's he like? Reliable, sensible, agreeable. I think we
26:21ought to get back to lighthouses. Those beacons of light in an otherwise black and hopeless
26:29night that reassure the lonely mariner they are not forgotten and will soon find land
26:36and home. Hope.
26:56It appears there's has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday. Clash of diaries,
27:02so I understand that. What? Yes, Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at Oxford University.
27:10What's this about us going home? It turns out there's a diary conflict through no fault of
27:18mine and I have to get back. You're supposed to be here for two weeks. Yes, I know. Don't
27:22ever. The plans change. I have a commitment at Oxford University. It isn't the university.
27:30It's a summer school for tourists. It's not essential. It is to me.
27:36This is our holiday. It's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing, which is why I agreed to bring your friends
27:46along to entertain you. And I even agreed to do the photo call today, requested by your
27:51people so the lie could be paraded to the world's media about what an adoring husband you are
27:54on one condition. What's that? That you actually are one.
27:59But not have you one idea and never knew how to do your work under the world's media.
28:04You're going to be on one sign for anything.
28:06Patrick, let me move and while I'm done.
28:08Are those those bad things?
28:17I say?
28:18I'm sorry.
28:20I mean.
28:57All right, all right, all right.
29:35Tens of thousands of British families repossessions are now record levels in
29:40the first half of this year 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies
29:53I think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the
29:57war and it has struck right across the economy it's certainly been a very difficult year
30:06the Prime Minister your Royal Highness Prime Minister your Royal Highness so kindly you should come sir
30:20before we begin I wonder did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we were
30:25meeting I don't believe so sir probably for the best there are two reasons I asked if I could see
30:40you today the first conserving our built heritage I wonder did you receive the copy of my book I
30:47did I don't suppose you found time to flick through it knowing we were meeting today I made a point
30:52of it
30:53reading it I'm sure you thought what an old fogey how stuck in the past he is with his loathing
31:01of
31:02modernism and change not at all why you'd have been right to I am fixated by the past by tradition
31:15preserving it conserving it but none of us is exclusively one thing human beings are
31:20too interesting for that you yourself are full of fascinating contradictions sir coming from
31:26Brixton a multicultural working-class part of London one might have expected you either to have concealed
31:33your past in order to fit in with the Tories or to have a more socialist viewpoint and become a
31:39rising
31:39star in the Labour Party I've never felt that because of my background I should not be a
31:44conservative precisely you're not only refused to deny your contradictions you don't see them as
31:50contradictions I don't which makes you a far more interesting more complex more impressive person and I
32:02I hope that the same can be said of me which brings me to the second reason for our meeting
32:12you saw the uh
32:15the recent poll and Sunday Times article about the Queen I did Queen Victoria's syndrome
32:27what were your conclusions it's just a poll sir true not a reassuring one polls come and go
32:40dangerous to ignore them equally dangerous to be guided by them
32:55there must have been many polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure
33:03sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever but what makes the Conservative Party the
33:08successful electoral force that it is its instinct for renewal and its willingness to make way for
33:15someone younger for almost 60 years my great-great-grandfather Edward VII was kept waiting in the wings
33:28it was said that Queen Victoria had no confidence in him thought him dangerous free-thinking
33:38he longed to be given responsibilities but his mother refused even forbade him from seeing state papers
33:49and yet when his time came he proved his doubters wrong and his dynamism his intellect his popular
33:56appeal made his reign a triumph
34:00what are you saying sir I'm saying what a pity it was what a waste that his voice is is
34:12his presence his vision
34:13wasn't incorporated earlier would have been so good for everybody
34:30you're coming to Balmoral to the Gillies ball yes very much looking forward to it
34:39well then you'll have an opportunity to judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about
34:48so deeply
34:54is in safe hands
35:02now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations
35:14so
35:24you
35:44Oh, my God.
35:56Well, the weather never disappoints me here.
35:59Hello, you. Hello, you.
36:03Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We have, and I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
36:13We had a lovely morning. We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty? Doesn't she look pretty, Mum?
36:22Yes.
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am?
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:46What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the judge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:18How left?
37:32Untiliver.
37:33Give them look.
37:34Help them.
37:36Eelton.
37:36Eelton.
37:38Eelton.
37:39Carolina.
37:52Hold on, let's go.
38:22Good job.
38:43Good job.
39:21The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
39:23Prime Minister.
39:24Your Majesty.
39:26Tea.
39:28Did you come by train?
39:30Aeroplane, then car.
39:32Of course.
39:33You're a busy man, every minute counts.
39:36But I'm a great believer in coming by sea,
39:38instead of three hours door-to-door,
39:41it can take as long as two weeks on the Royal Yacht.
39:45Wonderful way to decompress.
39:48And, as my great-great-grandmother,
39:51who started the Western Isles tour, said,
39:53let time slow down
39:55so that one breathes freedom and peace,
39:58making one forget the world
40:00and its sad turmoil.
40:08I am aware the comparison between Queen Victoria and me
40:12has been made recently in the newspapers
40:14and intended as criticism.
40:16What people fail to understand is
40:19I see any similarity with Queen Victoria as a compliment.
40:23Attributes people use to describe her.
40:26Constancy, stability, calm, duty.
40:30I would be proud to have described me.
40:34And speaking of the Royal Yacht,
40:37it has now become clear that a small refit,
40:39teeny-tiny little refreshment and refurbishment
40:42is required to keep her in tip-top shape.
40:45I am aware the costs for its maintenance
40:48are borne by the government, not by the palace,
40:50and so here I am, coming to you, Prime Minister,
40:55on bended knee for the sign-off.
40:57But I'm hoping that will be a formality.
41:05I'm just mindful that before she left office,
41:08Mrs Thatcher bequeathed the palace
41:10an extremely generous civil list settlement.
41:14A deal that leaves the Royal Family
41:16richer than ever before.
41:19Given that this deal was designed precisely
41:21to forestall any awkward public debate
41:25on Royal spending,
41:26I feel bound to at least raise the question
41:28of whether there's a way you might consider
41:31bearing the cost yourselves.
41:35It's just with the Royal Yacht
41:37being perceived as something of a luxury,
41:39there is a danger the palace
41:40could be seen to be asking for too much.
41:43But she isn't a luxury.
41:45Isn't she?
41:45Prime Minister,
41:47there has always been a Royal Yacht
41:50going all the way back to King Charles II.
41:52She is a central and indispensable part
41:54of the way the Crown serves the nation.
41:57And the revenue she has generated doing so
41:59is incalculable.
42:00But we're in the midst of a global recession.
42:02Each penny of public spending
42:04is closely scrutinized.
42:08I worry that the government spending public money
42:10on the refurbishment of a yacht
42:14might backfire.
42:17on us both.
42:26When I came to the throne,
42:29all my palaces were inherited.
42:32Windsor,
42:33Balmoral,
42:34Sandringham.
42:35They all bear the stamp
42:37of my predecessors.
42:38Only Britannia
42:39have I truly been able
42:41to make my own.
42:43Perhaps for that reason,
42:45the connection between me
42:46and the yacht
42:47is very much deeper
42:48than a mode of transport
42:49or even a home.
42:52From the design
42:53of the Hull,
42:54the smallest piece of China,
42:56she is a floating,
42:57seagoing expression
42:59of me.
43:07I hope we can agree
43:08that as sovereign,
43:09I have made very few requests,
43:11let alone demands,
43:12in return of the service
43:13I have given this country.
43:16Perhaps the reason I have held back
43:18is in the hope
43:19that when I actually do,
43:20people don't just take it seriously.
43:23They do as I ask,
43:24without question.
43:27so I would like
43:28this government's reassurance,
43:30your reassurance,
43:31that the costs
43:32for the refurbishments
43:33will be met
43:34and for you to inform me
43:35as soon as the arrangements
43:36are in place.
43:41I understand.
43:47Now,
43:48the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask,
43:52are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine
43:56into an independent
43:57European country.
43:59They want to break away
44:00from Moscow
44:01to turn their back
44:02on the leadership
44:03of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West
44:17in a bid to earn hard currency.
44:19The other Soviet republics
44:21have...
44:28Is there anything
44:31where they may
44:32may not kill people?
44:32They say...
44:36They say...
44:37Maybe us?
44:38We lain time...
45:43Will you do me the honor, Prime Minister?
45:45The honor would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You know you're my name.
45:53All right.
45:54All right.
45:55All right.
45:55All right.
45:55I do.
45:56The main thing for him is a master.
45:59Here we go.
46:18But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the royal yacht to a cost-benefit equation.
46:25It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience.
46:31But I would argue a minor one.
46:34Next to the yacht's enduring role was a national symbol.
46:37And her importance to the queen, personally.
46:42Boys, may good night to Mr. Major.
46:45Good night.
46:45Good night.
46:46Good night, sir.
47:09Some local history for you, if you're interested.
47:12Of course.
47:13Queen Victoria held the first gillies ball in 1852, and there's been one every year since.
47:21I see.
47:21It began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants, and has since developed into something of a
47:31saturnalian, if you know your classics.
47:36But the rules are turned upside down for a day.
47:40Masters serving slaves, and all disciplinary measures suspended for the night.
47:57I was just telling the Prime Minister that these things can get quite giddy.
48:02Not that I ever witness any of it.
48:04I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed.
48:07Can I count on you for a full report in the morning?
48:09You can, Your Majesty.
48:11Good night.
48:12Can you slip away?
48:14Our Majesty the Queen!
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today.
48:40I know I shouldn't ask, but, uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:46Sir?
48:48The, uh, the refit to Britannia.
48:52That is what she asked you for.
48:54Sir?
48:56Sometimes these old things, uh, they're too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:11I can't, not yet.
49:12Will you dance with me before I scream?
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow, back to normality.
49:22Now I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you've just had a lovely family holiday.
49:26You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of a family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:36And look.
49:38Anne and Mark.
49:39Look at Andrew and Sarah.
49:42Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:57And then...
50:00And then...
50:02I say the institution falls apart.
50:07I say the institution falls apart.
50:24And then...
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with this Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs, the economy in free fall, going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be binding the nation together, setting an example of idealized
51:06family life.
51:07Instead, the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals are feckless, entitled, and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales, impatient for a bigger role in public life, fails to appreciate
51:29that his one great asset is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
51:51On my watch.
52:15On my watch.
52:16On my watch.
52:43On my watch.
52:44On my watch.
52:52On my watch.
52:54On my watch.
53:01On my watch.
53:15On my watch.
53:18On my watch.
53:20On my watch.
53:29On my watch.
