00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.
00:54Princess Diana in a strapless lilac chiffon gown printed with gold pattern receiving the attention.
01:00But it's the Prince's night, His Royal Highness celebrating his 37th birthday at this special gala event.

03:40And when she loves what she wants from her time
03:47And when she waves up and fades from her time
03:54She'll see how you do something just before you know her
04:01With a little temper, you know I've seen her in September
04:07She'll see how you do something just before you know her
04:51Happy birthday!
05:17What were you thinking?
05:20I was only trying to make you happy
05:22That grotesque, mortifying display had nothing to do with me or my happiness
05:28Eight minutes they were on their feet
05:31Cheering you
05:32Tomorrow the newspapers will be about nothing other than you
05:35And people will see that it was about my feelings for you
05:38Now if you had any feelings for me, if you had any understanding of me
05:43If you had anything between your ears other than self-obsession
05:46You'd know public displays like that horrify me
05:48Everything I do seems to horrify you
05:50Increasingly yes
05:51I never thought you'd manage this, but you're really succeeding now
05:54And what's that?
05:55I'm starting to properly loathe you
05:57But what's taking you so long?
05:58The rest of us have been there for some time
06:19What are you doing?
06:20I'm going back to Gloucestershire
06:23Of course
06:24It's where she'll be waiting for you
06:28I'm sure she'll know exactly how to make you happy
06:42Charles and Diana seem to be getting on again
06:45Hallelujah
06:47Apparently she surprised him with a dance last night at the Opera House
06:50Really?
06:51Full of high kicks and spins
06:54Why did you never do that for me?
06:56Dance on your birthday?
06:58Yes
06:59Like Salome
07:01Because if memory serves, you had your own ballerinas for that
07:06Honestly
07:09Rubbish you talk sometimes
07:13It says here they're off to Switzerland
07:15Skiing with friends
07:17Perhaps their marriage has turned a corner
07:20Now, much more importantly
07:21Who is Billy Joel?
07:24Billy Joel
07:25Oh, Joel?
07:27Yes
07:28Uptown girl
07:31What are you talking about?
07:53We're hugging you
07:56When you are shining, What are you doing?

10:50Oh, thank you, Martin.
11:03Why bridges?
11:06We're all bridges.
11:08I'm London Bridge, Mummy's Tay Bridge, your fourth bridge.
11:13The choice of name was to suggest a link between this life and...
11:20...and the next.
12:13We've had it confirmed. The Prince of Wales is safe, ma'am.
12:18Although one of the guests, Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson, is still in intensive care...
12:23...and the one fatality was Hugh Lindsay.
12:27Oh, no.
12:29His wife, our widow, works in the press office.
12:34Sarah.
12:35Hmm.
12:37If you wanted to send a letter.
12:38Of course.
12:45Martin?
12:47Yes, ma'am.
12:48Just to say...
12:50...along with the coverage of His Royal Highness's near escape...
12:54...we should also brace ourselves for more speculation...
12:58...about the Wales' marriage.
13:00It seems the Prince and Princess had not been on the best of terms...
13:03...prior to the accident, and we'd received reports of...
13:07...arguments and raised voices.
13:09Certain newspapers were about to run stories...
13:12...and although we might expect a reprieve of...
13:14...a few days, given the circumstances...
13:16...we can't expect it to last for long.
13:23No.
13:41The Prince and Princess of Wales are travelling back to Britain this afternoon...
13:45...following a devastating accident that has cut short...
13:48...their skiing holiday in Switzerland.
13:50On board their flight will be the body of Major Hugh Lindsay...
13:54...a close friend of the couple who died in the avalanche yesterday.
13:58The Prince of Wales was himself only inches away from death.
14:47The Prince of Wales states who were living with the
15:09you said you're on your way hello darling
15:15oh thank you what have i done now you nothing but as his sister and confidant i thought you might
15:23throw some light on a subject about which i've been ostriching rather the true state of charles's
15:28marriage you don't want to know actually i do tea yes please
15:55thank you
15:58the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth please
16:09once upon a time there was a beautiful young girl who fell madly in love with a handsome prince
16:14unfortunately the prince was already in love with someone else who was herself in love with
16:18someone else and they all lived unhappily ever after that's it in a nutshell do you need more
16:25a little there's already a big age difference but charles is older than his years and diana is
16:30younger than hers which makes it not an age gap but an age chasm on the face of it they
16:36come from
16:36similar aristocratic backgrounds but their personalities come from different planets
16:40they have different interests different friends he doesn't understand her she doesn't understand him
16:46and considering all that they've actually done remarkably well
16:50but
16:53there comes a point in any failing marriage and here i speak with some experience
16:58when you realize there's no point in trying anymore it's easier to just let the current take you away
17:05and the minute harry was born and duty was done the marriage was effectively over and they started to
17:09find comfort in the arms of others how many others
17:15diana's been with her bodyguard her riding instructor
17:20and charles he's just been with one he's also been a bit more discreet the only people who know about
17:27camilla well pretty much the old of gloucestershire who all seem to be involved in facilitating it
17:33you can't conduct an extramarital affair without somewhere to meet or sleep or do you think
17:38but diana aunt margot tells me at kensington palace it's like a revolving door
17:47suitors park outside her office because it's the only place with no security cameras
17:51one after another in and out in and out
17:59unfortunately the wales marriage is a rare example of something that is actually worse than the
18:03newspaper's report
18:30sir
18:32the queen
18:34I was asked to see you in the winter's plans at the earliest opportunity.
19:34I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
20:01I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
20:09I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
20:23I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
20:45I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
21:02I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
21:32I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
22:32I was asked to see you in the winter's plans.
23:04Sir?
23:06Thank you, Nigel.
23:33I'm in.
23:39Thank you both for coming.
24:10And the constancy and stability that the monarchy is supposed to represent is called into question too.
24:16So I would like to ask one fundamental question of you both.
24:21Does either of you no longer want this marriage to work?
24:39Well, now that you mention it, I have given it all some thought.
24:47And...
24:48No, wait.
24:54I still want to make this marriage work.
24:58With all my heart.
25:01Then why have you broken your vows, as I understand you have?
25:13Because...
25:17Sometimes you don't know how you feel about something until you've nearly had it taken away.
25:25The moment I heard about the avalanche and the possibility that Charles might have...
25:31I can't even say it.
25:33In that instant, I felt an overwhelming emptiness and loss.
25:39And for the first time, I saw all the hurt and the pain that I'd been inflicting on you.
25:45And you on me.
25:48And suddenly, it all seemed so childish.
25:52So pointless.
25:56And do you understand what it takes to make a marriage work?
26:01The respect one must show the other party.
26:04The blind eyes one needs to turn.
26:07The arrangements both of you must come to.
26:11The freedoms both of you must respect.
26:14And the rules you must abide by.
26:19I am ready to commit to anything.
26:25To go to any lengths.
26:28And I want to say to you...
26:31That I'm sorry.
26:34For my part.
26:38In everything.
26:41Good.
26:42Well, that's that then.
26:43What?
26:45Do I get a chance to speak?
26:49Say what?
26:54What else is there to say?
27:37It's a nightmare.
27:39With the whole speech prepared,
27:40and out of nowhere, Diana does that.
27:43Ambushes me like that.
27:45And Mummy, you know her.
27:48So grateful the subject was over,
27:50she couldn't get out of the room quickly enough.
27:53Well, I won't let this go.
27:55I spoke to my protection officers.
27:57They all know what she gets up to.
27:59And if anything happens,
28:01if Diana puts even the slightest foot wrong,
28:03if she even thinks about straying,
28:07they'll let me know.
28:23Major Hewitt's gone.
28:29I gave him the heave-ho.
28:33Everyone else, too.
28:35No more little flirtations.
28:38No more Plan Bs.
28:40All doors firmly shut.
28:46Any more telephone calls from Major Hewitt?
28:48Make sure to say I'm out.
28:50I don't want to hear from him.
28:54He can't just show up.
28:56He's not welcome here anymore.
28:58No.
28:59For the first time,
29:00things do feel different.
29:02I feel different.
29:03because I've realised how much I want to make this marriage work.
29:08And to that end,
29:09with our seventh anniversary coming up.
29:13Well,
29:14I've had some ideas.
29:18On the 21st,
29:21we have lunch at the Community Enterprise Trust in Hartlepool,
29:24followed by a turf-cutting ceremony
29:27at Hilton Colliery Redevelopment Site in Sunderland.
29:32What about the 22nd?
29:33A presentation of new colours
29:35to the 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders
29:37at Fort George in Vanessa.
29:39I'm trying to find time
29:40for a weekend in Scotland
29:41with Mrs. Parker Bowles.
29:42What about the 29th?
29:45That might be tricky.
29:47Why?
29:47I'm free the day before,
29:48not due back in Cornwall
29:49until the 2nd,
29:50which is a Tuesday.
29:51The 29th is your wedding anniversary, sir.
29:59Of course.
30:01As a matter of fact,
30:03the Princess of Wales
30:04made a point of requesting you be in Highgrove that weekend.
30:10She said she had something specific in mind.
30:23to The Woods
30:24I'm sorry.
30:24I thought I had an answer.
30:27This is my last hero.
30:29I thought I had another man.
30:35Oh, yeah.
30:38This is my last hero.
30:41I thought I'd be my last hero.
30:46On the 21st,
30:47I thought I had a good
35:03What is this?
35:04Wait, watch.
38:49I can't stay long.
38:50The children are home.
38:54I need to know.
38:55I need to know.
38:58Do you still have feelings for Andrew?
39:02What?
39:03What?
39:03I don't mean normal feelings.
39:04He's your husband and the father of your children.
39:06I mean special feelings.
39:16Ann told me that...
39:19And told me that Andrew, not I was the big love of your life and that your feelings for me
39:23were perhaps not as deep as I'd imagined.
39:24That's not true.
39:28Andrew has never adored me like you do.
39:30Or shown me the same devotion.
39:34He also doesn't need me like you do.
39:37I do need you.
39:39And that's why it's so important.
39:42We both feel the same.
39:45And want the same.
39:50And if the opportunity were to present itself...
39:54and I were able to escape this...
39:59calamity of marriage,
40:01that you be prepared to do the same thing
40:03and leave Andrew,
40:07can you make me that promise?
40:15What we both want and what we can actually do
40:17are not the same thing.
40:21It's important we remain realistic.
40:23I'm not the same thing, sir.
40:27But you have my word.
40:30My love for you is real.
40:47I should go.
41:12And the environment are being damaged.
41:14Mrs. Thatcher has been welcomed in Canberra
41:17by the Australian Prime Minister.
41:39And one, and two, and three, and four,
41:44and turn towards the bar.
41:46And arm moves like this.
41:49Come along, Diana.
41:51And again.
41:53And one, and two, and three, and...
41:57and three, and three, and two...
42:00And three, and three, and four.
42:31I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, so you can see you.
