00:00:00You
00:00:46How much further, Luce?
00:00:49Hurry, Lord.
00:01:01Pull over, private.
00:01:06Grab those shovels.
00:01:10Show us, Luce.
00:01:15Spread out.
00:01:49Here.
00:01:53Start digging.
00:02:16We got something.
00:02:18Combined?
00:02:28Agh.
00:02:29Agh.
00:02:32Agh.
00:02:36I don't know.
00:03:17I don't know.
00:03:43What's he asking for?
00:03:46Freedom in a country of his choice, and a generous pension to last the rest of his lifetime.
00:03:55Well, let's see how good it is first.
00:04:03Get it translated.
00:04:21Come on.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day, Winston, ever.
00:06:34The publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest?
00:06:41What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:08:29The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all got a strength.
00:08:37With everyone turned to his own way,
00:08:41and when you turn to your own...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young. He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door to door in North Carolina.
00:09:04There's a humility to that, which I like.
00:09:06But are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:13Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and shops
00:09:25and live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:36Hope for society. Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves from an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling. Any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way,
00:09:51you will soon prefer your own ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:55God, you come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good
00:10:00and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you.
00:10:14Happy birthday to you.
00:10:18Happy birthday, dear true love.
00:10:22Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, dear true love.
00:10:28Good boy.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Robert.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:43Good shot.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No, I don't know.
00:10:58Where's your cat?
00:11:11You look very dashing.
00:11:21Magnifique buffet.
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:43I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:59I don't like it.
00:12:03I don't like it.
00:12:10I don't like it.
00:12:11Oh, my God.
00:12:41Oh, my God.
00:13:11I hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:17Oh, my motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I will simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice, who could know by his opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived
00:15:32as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:22Yes, sir.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:45I am.
00:17:46As historians, we have a duty to publish the truth.
00:17:50No exceptions.
00:17:52Otherwise, what are we all doing?
00:17:55Protecting Nazis?
00:17:57Protecting something else.
00:17:59My hands are tied.
00:18:01But his are not.
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04I have access to the U.S. State Department duplicate files.
00:18:07Including this.
00:18:09There's nothing to stop the American government publishing if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches, let us hope the rest of the trip is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing due to bad weather.
00:18:35The company on the boat was dreadful, too.
00:18:39Common and uninteresting people, pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London, my mood was lifted slightly by a large group of welcoming supporters who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen, sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening, I feared things would go from bad to worse.
00:19:11As we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house, somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:21Lucy.
00:19:22Your Royal Highness.
00:19:23How are you?
00:19:24Very well.
00:19:26Your Royal Highness.
00:19:26Baba, dear.
00:19:27But George excelled, as ever, and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:32Of course, the true purpose of the visit can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting by His Royal Highness, it might be seen as a violation of
00:19:42the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself not only being asked to leave the country, but also without a pension.
00:19:51So, this trip must be perceived, first and foremost, as a literary one.
00:19:56I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding, I've started a campaign.
00:20:07Gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury, Lord Beaverbrook, Lord Dudley, the American ambassador.
00:20:20And the foreign secretary, Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh, Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward have agreed to hold a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh, dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:05Can you just make up an excuse and say I'm off sinning somewhere?
00:21:09No.
00:21:15Lanky bugger, isn't he?
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome.
00:21:19Door-to-door salesman in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:25What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:27Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floorbrushes.
00:21:32Toothbrushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about what to preach about today, I considered various topics which speak
00:21:41to me personally, but I thought that I would start with a simple question.
00:21:46What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us, Colossians 1.27 says, that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:59It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ as Savior.
00:22:15And that is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:28You do speak with such wonderful clarity and certainty.
00:22:32I find it very reassuring.
00:22:35And it's not only me.
00:22:37The rest of the country, too, I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world, we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Well, that's not me.
00:22:54The scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today was that of being a simple congregant, being taught, being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church, in terms of rank, even the great archbishops of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me, above me, above me there is only God.
00:23:20Well, that must be lonely sometimes.
00:23:22Yes, it is.
00:23:26Which is why it's lovely, as queen, to be able to just disappear and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things, I do think of myself as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living that root me, guide me, define me.
00:24:00Have you always been such a good speaker?
00:24:03I was actually a shy child.
00:24:05No.
00:24:06Mm-hmm.
00:24:07Speaking as a shy child myself, I have to say that I find that very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time I've spoken public, I was 12 years old at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother he thought I was a natural.
00:24:25That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:29That, of all things, I had a gift.
00:24:59That, of all things, I was very proud of that man.
00:25:02That, of all things, I was veryelcome in fact.
00:25:13He was very Š½ŠøŠŗ-
00:25:13And his mother, you must be hiding.
00:25:29I have no objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing you.
00:25:57You didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:21Ah, there you are. Plot is all.
00:26:25Your royal highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn, there's treason abound.
00:26:30George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir, dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well, thank you.
00:26:36Water, thank you so much.
00:26:37And we all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, his royal highness, in his quest to find a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53And turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56And turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all, my council of war, my brains trust, politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war,
00:27:19in a liaising role between us and the French, and I've much enjoyed it.
00:27:22Or a position within the board of trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy, helping boost our much-needed dollar
00:27:40reserves.
00:27:41A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter, all those grasping international businessmen, the whiff of profit and self-interest?
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier, the idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:15Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me,
00:29:26I can truthfully say all is well.
00:29:30Today was a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet,
00:29:54the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material
00:30:06which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:35The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:59The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:31:08The War ended.
00:31:10Some British troops.
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops, arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefowod near Eisenhower in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:34Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator, ma'am,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, Von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21Von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:34hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which Von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations,
00:33:12in particular the relationship of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files be published.
00:33:48And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:33:59I hope you'll believe that.
00:34:13You're welcome.
00:34:19We have the biggest time to go.
00:34:29Let's get to the end of the Lord.
00:34:29I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness, Foreign Secretary, please.
00:35:22You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like
00:35:39we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:04His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:21His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today, who has managed to find
00:36:40three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:43I am so happy.
00:36:47These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:57So, only one obstacle remains, to get the blessing of the crown, which involves a brief trip
00:37:06back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again, your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, your majesty.
00:38:00Your majesty.
00:38:06Ah yes, your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes.
00:38:12That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27No, actually I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one.
00:38:38And might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country.
00:38:46The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway, one or two ideas came up.
00:39:05For jobs.
00:39:06Which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:09Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government.
00:39:16And I've been short of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:25The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Capwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:01Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon.
00:40:18During the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:24Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:28Which American historians, supported by the French and the British, are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters and telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's out of nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:04In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Fuhrer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:45You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:55As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:13You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they're grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:42:59Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:06It's not a compelling thing ever.
00:43:07It was the least clear.
00:43:15It's not a stable thing ever.
00:43:20It's not a talent.
00:43:20It's not a loving thing ever.
00:43:25Everything all right?
00:43:30can i ask your opinion of course what about forgiveness what have i done now
00:43:40no not you uncle david
00:43:46i think it's time that he'd be forgiven are you mad you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not what he did to this country those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me i bet he did philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me it's not often i say this so perhaps if i do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:18ask ask tommy lassells to come and see you
00:44:23what tell him of your proposed course of action i can't keep summoning him like that why not
00:44:30well he's retired for one thing go and see him in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea or human
00:44:38blood whatever that monster drinks and ask him about your uncle he was his private secretary
00:44:44while he was king he knows everything there is to know
00:44:54okay
00:45:08so
00:45:26your majesty tommy it's terribly inconvenient
00:45:34ah you're mid battle yes ma'am
00:45:39now don't say anything ah yes those uniforms 19th century yes and that standard is duke of
00:45:50wellington very good ma'am so is waterloo salamanca ah
00:45:59oh and these troops of sir edward pakenham's third infantry division very lovely did you have them
00:46:07made a gift ma'am from your grandfather when i was in his service shall we ma'am yes
00:46:25i'm proposing to let the duke of windsor back into public life
00:46:30and as an example of a christian in a christian country to forgive
00:46:39your majesty that would
00:46:42in my view be a mistake
00:46:48why
00:46:51before you make your decision ma'am i believe you should be in full possession
00:46:55of the facts i've read the marburg files so have i i said full possession
00:47:04you mean there's more yes ma'am
00:47:09the duke of windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king
00:47:14surrounded himself with a new breed of courtier men such as carl the duke of sax coburg a renowned
00:47:22nazi he also shared classified allied documents with the duchess of windsor who was herself we
00:47:30believe sharing a bed forgive me ma'am with the german ambassador herr ribbentrop
00:47:37and
00:47:54it became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box
00:48:00but we needn't have worried because then we had the application
00:48:09having promised to retire from public life we now know that he had no such intention
00:48:15why else would the pair of them decide to visit hitler in germany
00:48:28the fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit so it is unsurprising that it was on that same
00:48:35trip at the home of herr hess that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate the duke of windsor as king of england effectively betraying and dethroning your dear
00:48:53late father in return for german forces being given free reign across europe german troops were even
00:49:02promised to quell a colonial rebellion if necessary and there were visits to ss training schools and
00:49:10early versions of the concentration camps now of course the full horrors were yet to come nonetheless
00:49:17he visited
00:49:26shall i continue ma'am
00:49:34when a german aircraft crashed in belgium carrying hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of
00:49:41the duke wasted no time in letting his Nazi friends know
00:49:45that Allied forces had indeed recovered
00:49:47this priceless information,
00:49:50which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And in less than a month, Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all,
00:50:02the duke told the German government
00:50:05that resolve in the United Kingdom
00:50:07in the face of the German aerial bombardment was weakening.
00:50:11And that continued bombing,
00:50:13that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen
00:50:17and former subjects, would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:51The problems of the world can be summed up in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:15God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now, you may be out with legion teeth.
00:51:21We're fine. Culture, a church member, a good standing in the community.
00:51:25But it's your heart, heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you.
00:51:42And weighing it all up,
00:51:45the amount of time that has passed,
00:51:49and my affection for you, personally,
00:51:52all spoke in its favour.
00:51:56But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:10that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who's fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your mother?
00:52:34No.
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's?
00:52:38I came to my own mind.
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own.
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and that's why they threw me out.
00:52:48Fine.
00:52:50I will go.
00:52:53But let me ask you this.
00:52:56Who has done more damage to the monarchy,
00:52:59me with my willfulness,
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes,
00:53:10our ears,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it as fabrications,
00:53:18as cruel chatter,
00:53:20in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:23But when the truth finally came out,
00:53:25the truth,
00:53:29it makes a mockery of even the central tenets of Christianity.
00:53:33There is no possibility of my forgiving you.
00:53:36The question is,
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:53:42you,
00:54:07you, you, you?
00:54:10That's so unique.
00:54:10I mean, of course...
00:54:27Good morning, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your majesty?
00:55:30Your majesty?
00:55:34You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham, I asked you here today because there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:05Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where one can be a good Christian and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross, Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:39But we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:49True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely, and one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Amen.
00:57:32Amen.
00:57:40Amen.
00:57:43Amen.
00:57:45Amen.aires
00:59:02Oh, you're drunk.
00:59:04I am. I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06I do not mean he's drunk because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:12Oh, your dear...
00:59:14Your dear...
00:59:16Your dear mar was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:21And Tommy Lassell's the other.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:26I know.
00:59:27Hideous thought.
00:59:29But we all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have
00:59:35in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38It's you.
00:59:40And the heroic way you kicked that wretched fool out today, tail between his legs.
00:59:49It was hardly heroic.
00:59:50On the contrary, it was entirely heroic.
00:59:52And don't, don't for one minute start on about it being a failure of Christianity.
00:59:57Oh, it is.
00:59:58No, it's not.
00:59:59You protected your country.
01:00:03And you protected the reputation of your family.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31Oh, yes.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:34No!
01:01:01No!
01:01:02No!
01:01:03No!
01:01:05No!
01:01:07No!
01:01:21No!
