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.
00:02:25Start digging.
00:02:30We got something.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:34Let's go.
00:02:35Let's go.
00:02:35Let's go.
00:02:36Let's go.
00:02:39Let's go.
00:02:45Let's go.
00:02:53I don't know.
00:03:18I 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.
00:04:02Get it translated.
00:04:21Let's see how good it is.
00:04:24Let's see how good it is.
00:04:54Let's see how good it is.
00:05:07Let's see how good it is.
00:05:11Let's see how good it is.
00:05:24Let's see how good it is.
00:05:40Let's see how good it is.
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need to see the kid.
00:06:30Let's see how good it is.
00:06:42What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:06:56Let's see how good it is.
00:07:04Let's see how good it is.
00:07:29Let's see how good it is.
00:07:30Let's see how good it is.
00:07:32Let's meet up.
00:08:13The mighty Haringey Arena in London draws a capacity crowd of over 11,000 for the first meeting in Britain
00:08:19of the American Evangelist team headed by Billy Graham.
00:08:23Graham, who wears a slate grey suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple draped platform.
00:08:29Now, the Bible teaches that all of us are wrong.
00:08:35We have all gone astray.
00:08:38With everyone turned to his own way, and when you turn to your own way...
00:08:43It's rare and not entirely reassuring to see religious certainty in someone so young.
00:08:48He's not young.
00:08:49He's my age.
00:08:51Precisely.
00:08:52A 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.
00:09:07But 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?
00:09:12Now, 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.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling.
00:09:45Any 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.
00:10:34Brother.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:48Ah!
00:10:50No!
00:10:53It's me, it's me!
00:10:55No, I don't.
00:10:58Where's your cap?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:16Ah!
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.
00:11:49No!
00:12:01Thank you, baby!
00:12:04I do.
00:12:08I know.
00:12:10I know.
00:12:12I don't know.
00:13:14Pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My 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.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I 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 mobilize 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.
00:14:37The third 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?
00:14:59The 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, though, ma'am,
00:15:26that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived as an endorsement of his...
00:15:37...crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:42I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:47It's, um, His 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.
00:16:07Hmm.
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 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.
00:16:53Morning.
00:16:53Morning, 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...
00:17:02Morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05Albaire?
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:07Yes, ma'am.
00:17:08Yes, ma'am.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:32It's practically an injunction.
00:17:35Sir.
00:17:38Are you aware of this?
00:17:40Yes.
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.
00:18:03That'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
00:18:12if the British government won't.
00:18:25My dearest darling Peaches,
00:18:27let us hope the rest of the trip
00:18:30is not as miserable as the journey.
00:18:32It was a most disagreeable crossing
00:18:34due to bad weather.
00:18:36The company on the boat was dreadful too.
00:18:39common and uninteresting people,
00:18:41pestering me to join them for drinks or play cards.
00:18:47On arrival in London,
00:18:49my mood was lifted slightly
00:18:51by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats.
00:18:58And my niece, the Queen,
00:19:00sent me one of the hearses.
00:19:07Later in the evening,
00:19:08I feared things would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house
00:19:14somewhere in Sussex.
00:19:27But George excelled,
00:19:29as ever,
00:19:30and revealed the work he had already done.
00:19:33Of course,
00:19:33the true purpose of the visit
00:19:34can't be known to anybody.
00:19:36Should anyone get wind of any job hunting
00:19:38by His Royal Highness,
00:19:39it might be seen as a violation
00:19:42of the agreement made after the application.
00:19:44And His Royal Highness might find himself
00:19:46not only being asked to leave the country,
00:19:48but also without a pension.
00:19:51So,
00:19:52this trip must be perceived
00:19:54first and foremost
00:19:55as a literary one.
00:19:57I trust you came prepared.
00:19:58I brought quill and ink.
00:20:02All that notwithstanding,
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters.
00:20:10And the only indications
00:20:10are most encouraging.
00:20:12Walter Monckton has agreed
00:20:13to host a dinner.
00:20:14And we've had yeses
00:20:15from Lord Salisbury,
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook,
00:20:18Lord Dudley,
00:20:18the American ambassador,
00:20:20and the Foreign Secretary,
00:20:22Selwyn Lloyd.
00:20:23Oh,
00:20:24Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold
00:20:27a little supper party for you.
00:20:29Oh,
00:20:29dear Cecil.
00:20:31And his inedible food.
00:20:33Thank you very much.
00:20:34Just a small hand.
00:20:59Do we really have to do this?
00:21:01Indulge me.
00:21:03I'm interested.
00:21:06Can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and 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
00:21:20in a hideous, shiny suit.
00:21:23Where's his box?
00:21:24What box?
00:21:25The one containing his brushes.
00:21:28Oh, no, look.
00:21:28Come on.
00:21:29I'll be late.
00:21:29Hairbrushes.
00:21:30Hairbrushes.
00:21:31Floor-brushes.
00:21:31Tooth-brushes.
00:21:33Do shut up.
00:21:34As I was thinking about
00:21:36what to preach about today,
00:21:37I considered various topics
00:21:40which speak to me personally,
00:21:41but I thought that I would start
00:21:43with a simple question.
00:21:47What is a Christian?
00:21:49The Bible tells us,
00:21:51Colossians 1.27 says,
00:21:52that a Christian is a person
00:21:55in whom Christ dwells.
00:21:58It's Christ in you.
00:22:01The hope of glory.
00:22:02It means that you have
00:22:04a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:08That encounter has taken place.
00:22:11You have received Christ
00:22:13as Savior.
00:22:15And that
00:22:16is what a Christian is.
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much.
00:22:29You do speak with such wonderful
00:22:30clarity 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,
00:22:39I imagine.
00:22:40Yes.
00:22:41We've been surprised ourselves
00:22:43at the turnout.
00:22:44Really?
00:22:45Mm-hmm.
00:22:46Well, you shouldn't be.
00:22:47In an increasingly complex world,
00:22:49we all need certainty.
00:22:51And you provide it.
00:22:52Oh, that's not me.
00:22:54Scriptures provide.
00:22:56Yes, but you illuminate them so well.
00:23:01The great joy that I felt today
00:23:04was that of being
00:23:04a simple congregant,
00:23:07being taught,
00:23:08being led.
00:23:09You see, as head of the Anglican Church,
00:23:11in terms of rank,
00:23:12even the great archbishops
00:23:14of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me.
00:23:18Above 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,
00:23:28as Queen,
00:23:30to be able to just disappear
00:23:31and be...
00:23:34A simple Christian.
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:40Above all things,
00:23:42I do think of myself
00:23:43as just a simple Christian.
00:23:47It's the values of Christian living
00:23:49that root me,
00:23:51guide me,
00:23:54define 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,
00:24:09I have to say that I find that
00:24:11very hard to believe.
00:24:12No, ma'am.
00:24:13It's true.
00:24:15The first time
00:24:16I ever spoke in public,
00:24:18I was 12 years old
00:24:19at school.
00:24:21The school principal told my mother
00:24:23he thought I was a natural,
00:24:25that, of all things,
00:24:27I had a gift.
00:25:29I have no objection
00:25:31to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades
00:25:34troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham
00:25:40is the crusader,
00:25:41the implication is
00:25:42that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennet,
00:25:48sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister,
00:25:56thank you for seeing me.
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.
00:26:08Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plot as all.
00:26:25Your royal highness.
00:26:25Your royal highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn
00:26:28as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know
00:26:39why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help
00:26:43our dear friend,
00:26:45his royal highness,
00:26:46in his quest
00:26:48to find
00:26:49a final act
00:26:51to this sad drama.
00:26:53and turn it into
00:26:54a great history play.
00:26:55He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59That's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all
00:27:02my
00:27:03council of war,
00:27:05my brains trust,
00:27:08politicians,
00:27:09artists,
00:27:09and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:14I was made a major general
00:27:15attached to the British
00:27:16military mission
00:27:17in France
00:27:18at the beginning of the war
00:27:19in a liaising role
00:27:20between us and the French
00:27:21and I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position
00:27:23within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote
00:27:28Britain's economic interests
00:27:29abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man
00:27:33in the right position
00:27:34could contribute so much
00:27:36to Britain's economy,
00:27:38helping boost
00:27:38our much-needed
00:27:39dollar reserves.
00:27:41A man with charm,
00:27:42contacts,
00:27:43influence,
00:27:44and the magic
00:27:46of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel
00:27:51a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping
00:27:54international businessmen,
00:27:55the whiff of profit
00:27:56and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction
00:27:59we were heading earlier,
00:28:00the idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about
00:28:03the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans
00:28:08have these unofficial
00:28:09roving ambassadors
00:28:11nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London
00:28:14at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that
00:28:17would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have...
00:28:19My dearest darling peaches,
00:28:22what a wait
00:28:23is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up
00:28:27with the goods
00:28:28and his friends really do
00:28:30seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do
00:28:34is wait
00:28:34while they discreetly
00:28:36make representations
00:28:37on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say
00:28:41wait and pray.
00:28:42But all taste for prayer
00:28:44has left me
00:28:45as I survey the madness
00:28:46involving the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened
00:28:51to the people
00:28:51of this country?
00:28:53Turning like lemmings
00:28:54to this crusading showman
00:28:56from Charlotte
00:28:57for their inspiration.
00:29:00Rumor reached me
00:29:02that Shirley Temple
00:29:03even invited the fool
00:29:04to preach
00:29:05at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine
00:29:08the banality
00:29:09of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness,
00:29:12self-congratulation
00:29:13and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion
00:29:17that must have been.
00:29:19Oh, now bed calls
00:29:21and for once
00:29:22as my head
00:29:23hits the pillow
00:29:24without yours beside me
00:29:25I can truthfully say
00:29:28all is well.
00:29:29Today
00:29:30is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband
00:29:35David.
00:29:40Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit
00:29:50yesterday afternoon
00:29:51from John Wheeler Bennett,
00:29:54the senior historian
00:29:56in charge of publishing
00:29:57the German war files
00:29:59who informed me
00:30:00that this government
00:30:02was now left
00:30:04with no choice
00:30:05but to publish
00:30:05certain material
00:30:06which both
00:30:07my predecessor
00:30:09Winston Churchill
00:30:10and yours,
00:30:10your late father,
00:30:12tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:19War.
00:30:46The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier
00:31:21as he was retreating from...
00:31:25Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Lieutenant von Loesch.
00:31:36Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man...
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmidt.
00:31:50Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his officers were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, Von Loesch,
00:32:14to dispose of all the top secret papers...
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:22And Von Loesch had 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...
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Versch kept back, there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations, in particular the
00:33:13relationship of Nazi High Command with 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.
00:33:39You 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?
00:33:57I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:26I hope you have a great way.
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.
00:43:05They will never hear what they are.
00:43:16Hold on hold on a
00:43:36forgiveness
00:43:38what have I done now
00:43:40no not you
00:43:43uncle David
00:43:46I think it's time that he'd be forgiven
00:43:48are you mad? you can't forgive that man
00:43:50why not?
00:43:52what he did to this country
00:43:53those were different times
00:43:56he's explained all that to me
00:43:58I bet he did
00:44:00Philip
00:44:03forgiveness is very important to me
00:44:06it's not often I say this
00:44:08so perhaps if I do
00:44:10you will take it seriously
00:44:17ask
00:44:18ask Tommy Lassels
00:44:20to come and see you
00:44:22what?
00:44:24and tell him of your proposed course of action
00:44:26I can't keep summoning him like that
00:44:28why not?
00:44:30well he's retired for one thing
00:44:32go and see him
00:44:33in an unofficial capacity
00:44:35for sherry or tea
00:44:37or human blood
00:44:38whatever that monster drinks
00:44:40and ask him about your uncle
00:44:43he was his private secretary
00:44:44while he was king
00:44:45he knows everything there is to know
00:44:47I'm going to give them half and stop
00:44:50he knows it
00:44:51he knows he's got
00:44:54he knows she's become
00:44:55he knows it
00:45:02what you mean
00:45:03he knows
00:45:04never
00:45:06how long
00:45:06are your fare
00:45:08he knows
00:45:09he knows
00:45:10what you have
00:45:10come and see you
00:45:26your majesty tommy it's terribly inconvenient ah you're mid-battle yes ma'am now don't say
00:45:40anything ah yes those uniforms 19th century yes and that standard is duke of wellington very good
00:45:52ma'am so it's waterloo salamanca ah these troops of sir edward pakenham's third infantry division
00:46:05very lovely did you have them made a gift ma'am from your grandfather when i was in his service
00:46:14shall we ma'am yes
00:46:25i'm proposing to let the duke of windsor back into public life
00:46:31and 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 believe
00:47:31sharing a bed forgive me ma'am with the german ambassador herr ribbentroth
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
00:48:29the fuhrer labeled the trip an unofficial state visit so it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of herr hess that the plan was hatched
00:48:43a plan to reinstate
00:48:47the duke of windsor as king of england effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father
00:48:54in return for german forces being given free reign across europe
00:49:00german troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion if necessary and there were visits to
00:49:08ss training schools and early versions of the concentration camps now of course the full horrors
00:49:15were yet to come nonetheless he visited
00:49:27shall 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 that allied forces had indeed recovered
00:49:47this priceless information which gave germany time to change its plans and in less than a month
00:49:56paris fell to german occupation but perhaps worst of all the duke told the german government
00:50:05that resolve in the united kingdom in the face of the german aerial bombardment was weakening
00:50:11and that continued bombing that is the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former
00:50:17subjects would i quote soon 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 they go astray as soon as they be born speaking
00:51:09lies
00:51:10god looks deep down inside god sees how you really are down inside now you may be out with legion
00:51:24but it's your 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 and weighing it all up the amount of time that has passed
00:51:49and my affection for you personally all spoke in its favor
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 you are permitted to return
00:52:14to united kingdom only at the pleasure and invitation of the sovereign
00:52:20yes
00:52:22i find myself unable to grant that permission
00:52:29who's fed you this poison your mother no
00:52:37tommy lassell's i came to my own mind well you have no mind of your own that's why everyone's so
00:52:43thrilled with you last royal to have a mind of his own was me and that's why they threw me
00:52:47out
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 me with my
00:53:01willfulness or you lot with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes our ears to what was being said about you
00:53:15we dismissed it as fabrications as cruel chatter in light of your decision to give up the throne
00:53:22but 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 the question is
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself
00:53:40and
00:53:58you
00:54:00no
00:54:27All right, sir.
00:54:29Morning. Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39We have the go-ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:29Your majesty?
00:55:33You'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
00:55:59to 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.
00:56:38But 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.
00:57:00We 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.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:50One!
00:58:06God himself forgave.
00:58:06Now, he has done a little trouble in which he is yet to do.
00:58:06The reason for being unable to forgive me is to forgive me.
00:58:07I've been debugging.
00:58:07He's looking at me and dwelling on the cross.
00:58:07And I've been waiting for you.
00:58:08I've been waiting for you.
00:58:15He's waiting for you.
00:58:20I don't know.
00:58:50Saying one for me.
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Push it well, then.
00:58:57We all know you have the ear of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:02You're drunk.
00:59:04I am.
00:59:04I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:06Not nearly as drunk as either as my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take guests?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your dear, your dear, your dear ma was one.
00:59:19What?
00:59:20And 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?
00:59:38You.
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.
00:59:57It 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.
01:00:13And that'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.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No.
01:00:34No, no, no, no, no.
01:01:30No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:01:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:01:41no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:01:41no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:01:41no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:01:41no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:01:42no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
