Short filmTranscript
00:16As His Majesty the King has not yet produced a male successor, nor do we at this stage expect one,
00:23the decision has been taken to start preparing you in earnest for the crown.
00:27From this moment on, you will no longer be the heir presumptive, but the heir apparent, and your life will
00:33be quite different.
00:35You will not be able to travel unaccompanied, nor to socialize as freely.
00:41Your father, the king, had little or no time to prepare for the throne, which was thrust upon him.
00:48We will not be caught out again.
00:51The crown is not just an ornament to be worn.
00:55It is a privilege.
00:57And a burden, which comes with formidable expectations and responsibilities.
01:26I don't think I can do it.
01:29I could.
01:31I know you could.
01:33I'd love every minute to be on every coin, on every banknote, to be the most famous woman in the
01:41world.
01:42I'd be so very good at it.
01:45Wearing a big crown, giving everyone orders.
01:50Yes.
01:55Then tell them.
01:57Margaret Rose can do it.
01:59Margaret Rose wants to do it.
02:02Margaret Rose was born to do it.
02:05You were.
02:08Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
02:10It would be the best thing for both of us.
02:14All right.
02:19Good.
02:20It's okay.
03:07Oh
03:12Your majesty
03:18Just come to wish you a bon voyage and to thank you
03:21What for?
03:23For agreeing to squeeze in so many public engagements
03:25On what is essentially a private trip
03:27And for flying this way commercially
03:29Oh, it's not so bad
03:31They've cleared out the first-class cabin just for us
03:35What's the first stop? New York
03:36Ah, San Francisco, then Los Angeles
03:39Then five days with the Douglases in Arizona
03:42Oh, lovely
03:43Then on to New York
03:44Where Tony is promoting his book
03:47You've written a book?
03:49Ah, a book of my photographs
03:50Oh, you are clever
03:52You must make time to really relax, too
03:55We will
03:56Be good to one another
03:58Kind to one another
04:01Both of you
04:06Sad she felt the need to say that
04:08What?
04:09Be good to one another
04:10Kind to one another
04:11Eight of you
04:13I was a little clumsy
04:17But she means well
04:19Two of us
04:21Are complicated
04:24She and I are complicated
04:27It's true
04:29Elder sister, younger sister
04:32Number one and number two
04:33Who's number one?
04:37You, of course
04:39A natural number one
04:41Whose tragedy it is to have been born number two
04:45That is my button
04:48She knows it, too
04:51Yes, I think she does
04:54That's our battle
04:57Welcome aboard this BAC flight to San Francisco
05:00Please take your seats and relax
05:02We're now ready for departure
05:04And we'll be taxiing shortly
05:06We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a very pleasant flight
05:20Which is mostly our agency
05:21The dream is the man who is a frightening woman
05:24All who wishes to the Japanese
05:24But we're still there
05:24We're still trying to expect what happened

06:50good morning mr ambassador economically as you know marvin the united kingdom is right up against
06:56it is seeing a terrifying run on sterling and our credit from the imf is about to expire
07:03now the prime minister has made several attempts to speak to the president about another bailout
07:08rescue package but the president refuses to take his call president johnson is a busy man
07:16too busy to talk to his oldest ally historically the holder of this office has the warmest
07:22relationship with down the street think of churchill and roosevelt or truman and adley
07:27mcmillan and jfk no need to keep mentioning jack kennedy like that keep mentioning it's just
07:35provocative unhelpful president johnson is his own man of course i mentioned it only in the
07:45context of our leader standing shoulder to shoulder in times of difficulty the united kingdom and the
07:51united states historically it's like a marriage will you talk to him
08:01no screw the brits i don't like them i never liked them they're not looking down at you through
08:06their noses they're holding their hands out like beggars and i don't give a crap about any special
08:09relationship erald wilson wants my help you should have thought about that when he refused to support
08:14me over vietnam you can't screw a man in the ass and then expect him to buy you flowers
08:24the prime minister your majesty your majesty prime minister
08:40well i'm sure that it did not escape your attention that president johnson failed to attend
08:46at so instance funeral yes on account of a code well that was the explanation the white house gave but
08:52it persuaded no one now i fear that the president may have taken against me for what he sees as
09:00my
09:01failure to support him over vietnam and i wondered
09:09in the past the royal family has been extremely helpful in keeping this special relationship afloat
09:19and given the predicament the country finds itself in economically you'd like us to roll out the red
09:26carpet make a bit of a fuss

16:35that's a long flight
16:37followed by a long drive
16:40stay in some creepy haunted castle
16:42the weather's terrible
16:47and it would involve making small talk to fancy people
16:52then when you go shooting
16:53there's rules
16:55things you do and don't do
16:58which would involve researching
17:00learning
17:01cutting my nails
17:04and i'd still get it all wrong
17:07and then everybody'd laugh at me
17:09and they'd say how i wouldn't know jack kennedy
17:11who would know exactly which knife and fork to use
17:14and which bird to shoot
17:17so my position has not changed

19:01Tony!
19:02Brace yourselves.
19:05Come along, darling.
19:11Your royal heinous.
19:13No blinking, no kissing.
19:15Jabs!
19:22Oh, I look hideous.
19:25No.
19:29Ghastly.
19:30You look a bit tired.
19:33A bit coldy.
19:35It's only to be expected after your...
19:39heroics.
19:41You hated every minute, didn't you?
19:44Maybe.
19:46That's irrelevant.
19:49The newspapers didn't.
19:52Page after page about how extraordinary you are.
19:57What an asset to the crown.
19:59How underused you are.
20:00What a secret weapon.
20:01How deserving you are of the spotlight.
20:03Your elder sister eclipsed and outshone.
20:06Darling.
20:07And now, you must sleep.
20:10What will you do?
20:12Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
20:16So rest.
20:17I will.
20:18And get well for New York.
20:35Mr. President, I just got off the phone with our ambassador in London.
20:38We just got off the phone with the prime minister.
20:40Just got off the phone with the queen.
20:42Don't tell me everybody's pissed.
20:44The general view seems to be that if you have a quarrel with the prime minister, that's one thing.
20:50But no one gets to insult the crown, sir.
20:52It's like treason or something.
20:55How have I insulted the crown?
20:57By not accepting the queen's invitation, sir.
20:59Well, I didn't refuse.
21:03Just have him reply.
21:06Well, now, don't you do this, Marvin.
21:09You're my chief of staff.
21:10You're supposed to have my back.
21:12Don't you get suckered into this.
21:13You know, they got this whole thing going on over there.
21:16Head of state, prime minister, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street.
21:20It's like a double act, like tag team wrestling.
21:22One of them gets in trouble.
21:24The other jumps in to bail them out.
21:26Wilson screws me over Vietnam, and she jumps in to make it all good with some bursts.
21:31You bullshit.
21:32We don't have that here.
21:35Oh, sir.
21:38Buck stops with me.
21:40Who the hell am I supposed to call if I want to issue an invitation to get me out of
21:45trouble?
21:45Well, you call me, sir, your oldest friend.
21:48I come up with a sensible plan to get us all out of trouble.
21:51All right.
21:52Come up with a plan.
21:54Well, sir, I just did.
21:57This is the plan, right here.
22:00Who in God's name is that?
22:04They came to land at Oakland Airport.
22:07And here, as in San Francisco, crowds met and cheered them everywhere they went.
22:12The princess was radiant, obviously enjoying herself.
22:15It wasn't long before her sparkle cast an informal atmosphere over the occasion.
22:19The American people and their press have warmed to the couple, enchanted by the natural display of charm and friendliness.
22:28Prime Minister for you, ma'am.
22:30The princess and ma'am.
22:32I said it was urgent.
22:32Excellent ambassadors of Britain.
22:34Our door is 5,000 miles of time.
22:36Prime Minister?
22:37Just to say, we've finally had a response from the Americans, ma'am.
22:43They've come back with an invitation of their own.
22:48To dinner at the White House.
22:50For me?
22:51No, for Princess Margaret.
22:54Oh, that's cunning.
22:56Yes.
22:57That way, President Johnson can't be accused of snubbing my offer.
23:00No.
23:02It also sidesteps the all-important issue of the bailout.
23:06Indeed.
23:07But we think not all is lost that Princess Margaret should accept the invitation, go to the White House,
23:14and use the occasion to win over hearts and minds to the British cause.
23:21It would be a political engagement of the utmost delicacy.
23:26For which you want to send Princess Margaret?
23:29Yes, well, that had been my reaction.
23:32But her trip to America has been a terrific success.
23:36So I get her.
23:39So will you ask her.
23:44If those are my instructions.
23:48Please.
23:54Well, well.
23:55I suppose the situation is so dire,
23:57there's really nothing to lose.
23:59He doesn't know my sister.
24:04Ma'am.
24:10No.
24:15Your Royal Highness.
24:17No.
24:18Telephone for you.
24:19No.
24:19It's the Queen.
24:35Hello, you.
24:37Hello, you.
24:39Sorry to disturb.
24:41I know you're on holiday, so you don't want to hear this.
24:44What?
24:45We've had an invitation from the White House
24:47for you to go to Washington
24:49and have dinner with the President and the First Lady.
24:52And we'd like you to attend.
24:54When?
24:55This Wednesday.
24:56Ah, can't.
24:59Why not?
25:02I'm going to be in New York.
25:05And Tony's book launch.
25:08Perhaps I should make it clear.
25:10There is rather a lot riding on it.
25:12And everyone is keen, very keen, for you to go.
25:16Perhaps I should make it clear
25:17that nothing is going to stop me from supporting my husband.
25:21Just like you asked me to.
25:23Margaret!
25:25Margaret!
25:53Margaret!
26:04As a wife, I understand your desire to support Tony.
26:09You know that it was my honest hope
26:11that on this trip you would both find the opportunity
26:14to be more courteous, more encouraging to each other.
26:18But for now, such considerations must be put aside.
26:23I have asked you this once as a sister.
26:26And now I must command it as your Queen.
26:31Your Royal Highness, Sir, thank you so much for agreeing to this.
26:37The most recent list of people attending the dinner,
26:40with some brief biographies of those expected to sit close to you.
26:43What I'm asking you to do amounts to much more
26:47than simply attending a dinner.
26:53Currently, there are matters pertaining to this country's future prosperity
26:58that require a concerted effort on our part.
27:02We must heal the divisions that are emerging
27:05between Britain and its American cousins.
27:08You've often lamented that you have nothing to do.
27:11But you are a wasted resource.
27:14Well, the task you are embarking on today
27:16could not be more crucial.
27:19Britain currently has a deficit of 800 million pounds.
27:24What we need is a bailout of at least 1,000 million.
27:32Only the Americans can give it to us.
27:38I know you like to do things your own way.
27:42But this is a diplomatic mission of the highest sensitivity.
27:46And I would urge you, for once,
27:49to play things by the book.
27:54What happens if I fail?
27:56We don't get the bailout.
27:59Then we break our promises to the IMF,
28:03exhaust the credit facilities available to us,
28:06face a run on sterling,
28:08and the government would be left with no option
28:10but to devalue the pound.
28:12And that's bad?
28:15Devaluation is worse than bad.
28:17It would relegate sterling to the second division
28:19of the world's currencies
28:20and Britain to the third division of the world's economies.
28:24It would mean international humiliation,
28:27political ignominy,
28:28and financial ruin.
28:39You're a minus?
28:41President Johnson.
28:43Remember that for this moment?
28:52And we'll hear you.
28:52So I will hear you.
28:58You're a minus.ston.
29:21Good morning, Prime Minister.
29:22Yeah, good morning.
29:25I've had an opportunity now to speak to our ambassador in Washington
29:30about the White House dinner last night.
29:32And?
29:35I... I don't know where to begin.
29:40It seemed that the first course had barely been served
29:43before Princess Margaret made remarks about the late President Kennedy
29:47that were less than discreet.
29:50I met him once, Kennedy.
29:54I was left distinctly underwhelmed.
30:01Margaret.
30:02Oh, I'm sorry.
30:03Did I say something wrong?
30:05I do know these days one's not allowed to think anything other
30:10than what a great statesman Kennedy was.
30:13Say nothing, Lyndon.
30:15Of course he'll say nothing.
30:16He was his loyal deputy.
30:18But I think I can understand better than most
30:21the frustrations and resentments
30:23that can build up from a life as a number two.
30:28The support act.
30:31Even of someone you adore.
30:36You spent three years as vice-president.
30:39I've spent my whole life as vice-queen.
30:43Except that came out wrong.
30:45I didn't mean I'm a vice-queen.
30:48Is there a strategy in place to deal with the fallout?
30:50Oh, no, there's no fallout.
30:53What?
30:54President Johnson agreed.
30:56Thoroughly.
30:57Enthusiastically.
30:58Unreservedly.
30:59He said, um, if I remember rightly,
31:04Jack Kennedy...
31:05Or to kill his own mother
31:06just to take the skin off her ass
31:08to make a drum to beat his own praises.
31:19Right?
31:20I see.
31:23This then led to a drinking contest.
31:26What?
31:27Last man standing is the winner.
31:29Challenge accepted.
31:30Which in turn led to a limerick contest.
31:33Limericks?
31:33Yes, ma'am.
31:35Some of them, I'm afraid to say,
31:37a little off-colour.
31:39Hmm.
31:40Well, go on, then.
31:43Oh, right.
31:45Um...
31:45Well, the first one went a little...
31:51There was a young woman from Delaware...
31:54Who...
31:54liked to make love.
31:58Liked to make love.
31:59Delaware.
32:00Delaware.
32:01In her underwear.
32:02A terrible prude.
32:03She would never go nude.
32:05And her bum hips and tits,
32:07she would never bear.
32:13What else?
32:14The president countered with,
32:16there was a young man from Wisconsin
32:18who was blessed with an enormously large...
32:21Johnson?
32:25Where's the rest of it?
32:26I believe everyone thought that was long enough.
32:30As it were.
32:32Any more?
32:34Princess Margaret won the evening with this one.
32:37There was a young lady from Dallas
32:40who used a dynamite stick as a phallus.
32:44They found her...
32:48You've made it this far.
32:52They found her vagina in North Carolina...
32:55And her arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
33:01Bravo.
33:08Then, apparently, there was dancing.
33:34Followed by singing.
33:36Anything you can be.
33:38I can be.
33:40Sooner.
33:40Or later.
33:41I'm greater than you.
33:43Yes, I am.
33:44No, you're not.
33:45Yes, I am.
33:46No, you're not.
33:47Yes, I am.
33:48Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:49Yes, I am.
33:50She finally snagged at home
33:51at four in the morning,
33:53newly anglophile President Johnson
33:55having agreed to the bailout.
33:57A special relationship,
33:59more special than ever.
34:00Without being caught?
34:02Yeah.
34:02That's what I thought, you croc.
34:04And all because
34:05Margaret was all the things
34:07I'd specifically begged her not to be.
34:09All the things I could never be.
34:12Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
34:16Yes, I am.
34:19You're all those things, too.
34:20No, I'm not.
34:22I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
34:26Well, of those two,
34:27I would pick dependability
34:29every day of the week.
34:33But it would be nice
34:34to be dazzling on occasion, too.
34:37You are dazzling.
34:38Mm.
34:39You're a dazzling cabbage.
34:42Anything you can say,
34:43I can say faster.
34:45I can say anything faster than you.
34:48No, you can't.
34:49Yes, I can.
34:49No, you can't.
34:50Yes, I can.
34:50No, you can't.
34:51Yes, I can't.
34:51No, you can't.
34:52No, you can't.
34:52No, you can't.
35:01No, you can't.
35:15Prime Minister
35:17Well played, Your Royal Highness
35:20Very well played
35:21Thank you, sir
35:23Shall we?
35:41Thank you
36:11Hail the conquering heroine
36:13Ah, yes
36:15Let the abuse begin
36:17Now, you must know by now
36:19Any triumph from this family is met with a healthy dose of
36:21Envy?
36:22Spite?
36:22Good-natured teasing
36:23To keep one's feet on the ground
36:25Everyone's very grateful
36:27The Prime Minister said he was going to write to you personally
36:30Better than that
36:31He met me at the airport
36:33Ah
36:35And now we're all racking our brains as to what to give you to show our appreciation
36:41How would you feel about the order of merit?
36:44Or the Victorian chain?
36:47You can keep your gongs
36:48And your bongs for all the men to whom it matters so much
36:52But I'd be lying if I didn't admit to having done a little thinking
36:56In view of how well it all went
36:59About us doing it more often
37:03Doing what?
37:05Sharing duties
37:08But we didn't share duties
37:09You just went to a dinner party
37:12In your place
37:14And represented crown and country with
37:17I think we can agree
37:19Favourable results
37:24Isn't it possible that we've stumbled upon something here?
37:28You have far too much to do
37:30Far too much pressure
37:31Far too much responsibility
37:34And I too little
37:35Having no role
37:37Having nothing to do
37:39Is
37:41Soul-destroying
37:45All I'm asking
37:46Is if you were prepared to share a little more
37:52For bizarre sakes
38:02Let me think about it
38:05I'll see what I can do
38:12Don't tell me you softened
38:13I did
38:14And with good reason
38:17Margaret does suffer more than anyone else
38:19By not having a more meaningful role
38:21Suffers in health and happiness
38:23She's overlooked
38:26And in terms of ability and character
38:28And intelligence and flair
38:31She does not deserve to be overlooked
38:32So why shouldn't we consider expanding the role?
38:36Sharing the job a bit more?
38:38There are two answers to that question
38:41Neither makes for pretty listening
38:46Yes, the system is unequal
38:48Unjust and cruel
38:50And primogeniture divides and destroys families
38:54The system stinks
38:55But
38:56In its cruelty and injustice
38:59It reflects something else
39:00Which is harsh and brutal
39:02Which no one is suggesting we rearrange
39:05Life
39:09We all desire equality
39:11Here's the thing
39:14We were not born equal
39:18And what's the second?
39:20Do you remember I told you once
39:22I got drunk with that
39:23God-awful monster Tommy Lassels?
39:26Well that night
39:27He shared with me
39:29His theory
39:30About the house of Windsor
39:32I've never repeated to anyone since
39:35Go on
39:40He asked me to imagine
39:41A mythological creature
39:44A rice addler
39:46A polycephalus
39:48A two-headed eagle
39:49For the purposes of this conversation
39:52I want you to think of it as representing us
39:55This family
39:58Your family
40:00And there have always been
40:02The dazzling Windsors and the dull ones
40:04Your father
40:05A saint
40:06But dull
40:09Sorry
40:11Your grandfather too
40:12George the Fifth
40:14Deadly dull
40:16At the height of the great war
40:18When the
40:19The Tsar and the Kaiser
40:20And the Emperor of Austria
40:22Were dazzling the world
40:23Where was he?
40:25He was sticking stamps in his album
40:27His wife
40:28Queen Mary
40:28Wonderful
40:29Ditchwater
40:30And so it goes
40:32Through George the Fifth
40:33To Queen Victoria
40:34And back
40:35An uninterrupted line
40:37Of stolid
40:38Turgid drearings
40:40Culminating in me
40:41Yes
40:41But
40:44Alongside that
40:45Dull
40:46Dutiful
40:47Reliable
40:47Heroic
40:48Strain
40:48Runs another
40:52The dazzling
40:53The brilliant
40:54The individualistic
40:55And
40:56The dangerous
40:59And so
41:00For every Victoria
41:01You get
41:02An Edward the Seventh
41:03For every George the Fifth
41:05You get a Prince Eddie
41:07For every George the Sixth
41:08You get
41:09An Edward the Eighth
41:12For every Lilibet
41:15You get a Margaret
41:17And she may have had a success in Washington
41:20But let's not delude ourselves
41:22That serious diplomacy can be achieved through drinking and dancing
41:25Let Margaret have the glory
41:27But let's not rewrite the constitutional rule book
41:31Because she got lucky once
41:33And where does that leave my relationship with her?
41:36Unchanged
41:37You're the Queen
41:39And she's your dangerous baby sister
41:45She's outside
41:46She knows we're talking about her
41:47Then let's join her
41:50That feverish mind of hers
41:52Needs no encouragement
41:56She's outside
41:57She's outside
41:59What's she's outside
41:59That feverish mind of hers
42:08Will she realize
42:08That she's outside
42:08She's outside
42:09Another
42:09An
42:09You're
42:12One
42:33What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
42:35The order of succession to the throne is determined by the Act of Settlement of 1701, not the wild and
42:41irresponsible whims of young princesses.
42:45The principle of undisturbed hereditary descent is a pillar of stability and perpetuity for the nation.
42:53Princess Elizabeth's destiny is to accede to the throne. Yours is to serve and support.
42:58I would urge you to accept your position in life and to dismiss, forthwith, any childish notions about rewriting the
43:07rulebook so that it might better suit your character.
43:11We all have a role to play. Princess Elizabeth's will be center stage and yours, ma'am, will be from
43:18the wings.
43:43Margaret.
44:03Margaret.
44:03Margaret.
44:03Margaret.
44:07Margaret.
44:10Margaret.
44:11Margaret.
44:11Margaret.
44:12Margaret.
44:13Margaret.
44:13Margaret.
44:15Margaret.
44:15I don't know.
44:53I don't know.
45:31I don't know.
45:48I don't know.
45:52I don't know.
46:03When you're smiling, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
46:13When you're laughing, when you're laughing, the sun comes shining through.
46:23But when you're crying, you bring on the rain, so stop your sighing, be happy again, keep on smiling.
46:36Cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you.
47:15I don't know.
47:29You
