00:01You
00:21And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:30I mean, it's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:39The previous princes of Wales have been happy to have misspinned their lives in idle dissipation,
00:43but my problem is I can't bear idles or dissipation.
00:49Every day I meet people from all walks of life,
00:53ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs, men and women my age,
00:57who have gone out into the world and made their mark.
01:03It's precisely the thing that I'm not allowed to do.
01:12In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
01:17Instead, what am I? I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:33There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:38No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:42We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:47Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Prince's Trust.
01:50Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:55Twenty thousand, to be precise.
01:57Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
02:02where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
02:08What a wonderful idea. Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
02:14Thank you, Nancy.
02:15Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
02:21Good night. Good night, sir.
02:23Good night.
02:24Good night.
02:57One, two, three.
02:58Good night, sir.
03:12Hello?
03:13Andrew,
03:15Your Royal Highness.
03:20Mummy?
03:26is she um she'll be with you in just a moment i have to wait till she picks up in
03:30the other room
03:34so is everyone uh there together yes all here such a special time of year
03:42and is it just the four of you for christmas or
03:45i believe that's her now sir thank you right i'm playing move up
03:50laura you've been cheating again hello i wish you'd answer the phone i never know what to say
03:57we're alone now i'm in the bedroom in bed on top of it lucky old bed
04:07are you still in tesha i am missing you terribly
04:14back soon though my darling are you still making the speech in oxford tomorrow
04:19yes that's the reason i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it
04:24is it very long only we're a full house no no no short and punchy and a bit controversial
04:30which is why i want your opinion you always know best when to reign me in all right
04:36oh remind me of the subject teaching of english language in schools it is quite astounding to
04:46think that in england we have produced one of the world's most beautiful languages however the rate
04:53which that language is degenerating has become a cause for concern it's a tragedy for the next
04:59generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats of shelley of shakespeare efforts to
05:05preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching are no longer a priority if we look at
05:11the way english is used in business in the popular press or on television programs
05:16or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
05:20we're going to be able to see just out of your phone
05:22we're going to be able to see just out of your phone
05:50Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:20Everything happens at the end of the day, and every situation is a win-win.
06:26As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this, but the rot begins in the very institutions whose
06:33duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
06:39If we want to produce the next generation of great writers, we must use our education system to protect what
06:46is surely our greatest national export, the English language, which, like any language, is so much more than a collection
06:54of words.
06:56It's a means of building bridges between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
07:05What do you think?
07:06Oh, I think it's brilliant.
07:09I mean, you could go further.
07:10Our language is like an endangered species that needs to be protected.
07:14It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
07:17Oh, I quite agree.
07:19I read it to my private secretary, so I might have gone too far.
07:22I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
07:26Yes.
07:28I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
07:32Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
07:36Mm.
07:38You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
07:42Stop it.
07:46It's too dangerous.
07:48If we run this, we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:55But, uh, I don't want our friend crossing the street and selling it to anyone else, either.
08:03So pay him what he wants.
08:05Keep the tape, put it in the safe, and hope for another day.
08:13Have you gone to sleep?
08:15Now I'm here.
08:22I'd love you.
08:24Adore you.
08:26I'd love you.
08:29Night.
08:55I'll see you next time.
10:10You are both resolved on this.
10:14No doubts, no hesitancy.
10:19This is really what you want.
10:47Very well.
17:00I just think while we're setting up committees or task forces hoping to find ways forward,
17:07it might be useful to acknowledge that the solution we are looking for could be right
17:17under our noses.
17:41Hey, Lord.
17:43Yes?
17:45Hey, Lord.
17:48Yep.
17:54Yep.
17:59Right.
18:20What's that?
18:25What's that?
18:40What's that?
18:44The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
18:48Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
18:54At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it because of the potential damage it might do
18:59to the royal marriage.
19:01But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated, the newspaper feels at liberty to publish.
19:08And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts to be published in the UK in the coming days.
19:18How can they get away with this?
19:22It's a private conversation.
19:25Private matter between two adults.
19:27No one else's business.
19:29Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
19:34the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance.
19:40Which could be difficult to disapprove.
19:44Don't you remember the conversation?
19:47Have we discovered what was actually said?
19:51No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
19:58Very intimate.
20:03What do you think?
20:05I think it's brilliant.
20:08I think you could go further.
20:11Our language is like an endangered species.
20:13It needs to be protected.
20:15It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
20:18Oh, I quite agree.
20:19I really might cry with the secretary.
20:21He thinks I might have gone too far.
20:24I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
20:30Yes.
20:32I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
20:35Just feel one's way along with it.
20:38If you know what I mean.
20:42You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
20:45Stop it.
20:51God, I want to feel my way along you.
20:54All over you.
20:55Up and down you.
20:57In and out.
20:58Particularly in and out.
21:01That's just what I need at the moment.
21:03Is it?
21:05I know it would revive me.
21:08But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
21:12God.
21:13It's like that program Start the Week.
21:16I can't start the week without you.
21:19I fill up your tank.
21:20Yes, you do.
21:22So you can cope.
21:23Then I'm alright.
21:26What about me?
21:29The trouble is I need you several times a week.
21:33So do I.
21:35I need you all the week.
21:38I need you all the time.
21:41Oh, darling, I just want you now.
21:44Do you?
21:47So do I.
21:48Desperately. Desperately.
21:50God, I wish I could just...
21:53live inside your trousers or something so much easier.
21:57What are you going to turn into? A pair of knickers?
22:00Oh, God forbid. A Tampaxe. Just my luck.
22:05A complete idiot.
22:08What a wonderful idea.
22:10My luck to get chucked down the lavatrians.
22:13Keep on going on and on forever.
22:15Swirling around on top, never going down.
22:17Oh, darling.
22:19Till the next one comes through.
22:21Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
22:25What sort of box?
22:26A box of Tampaxe.
22:28You could just keep going.
22:30That's true.
22:36Have you gone to sleep?
22:38No, I'm here.
22:41Will you ring me when you wake up?
22:44Fine night, my darling. I do love you.
22:48Love you, too.
22:52Don't want to say goodbye.
22:54Neither do I.
22:58But you must get some sleep.
23:03Bye, darling.
23:06Bye.
23:07Bye.
23:08Bye.
23:10Press the button.
23:12I'm going to press the tit.
23:14Darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
23:16Oh, God.
23:18So do I.
23:20Harder and harder.
23:22Oh, darling.
23:27Night.
23:30Night.
23:31Love you.
23:33I adore you.
23:37Night.
23:38Night.
24:14There's uproar in Britain over the publication of the so-called Camillagate tapes.
24:18The phone call allegedly between Prince Charles and a close female friend was taped three years ago.
24:23He will not come back from this. The tapes are filthy.
24:26It's raised doubts over whether the Prince of Wales could ever be king.
24:30Yet another royal scandal making headlines.
24:32Yet another bitter blow to a monarchy and crisis.
24:36Sally Hinkman, NBC News, London.
24:44Here, I bought you some weapons-grade entirely chemical cold medication.
24:52I know you're probably taking some sort of root or herb.
24:57Garlic, ginger and elderberry.
24:59Hmm.
25:00Well, I thought I'd bring you something that actually works.
25:06Poor you.
25:11It's an assassination.
25:15Complete decimation of my character and everything I've worked so hard for.
25:22It's no secret, I think, over the years you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself.
25:29But no one deserves this.
25:38It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
25:41It's as if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone.
25:44They've said embarrassing things.
25:47It was all a bit embarrassing, wasn't it?
25:50Hmm.
25:51It was a little gynecological in my taste.
25:57Well.
25:59I've also taken my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat.
26:02Oh, God.
26:03It was a surprising residue left.
26:07Of being touched by two teenagers of a certain age being so gloriously human and entirely in love.
26:23For that alone you deserve some credit.
26:27In this family especially.
26:30You are sweet.
26:32Hmm.
26:34I doubt our dear Papa will see it that way.
26:45All right.
26:49I'll speak to you tomorrow.
26:52Whatever.
26:58If I weren't so ashamed I might confess of admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement.
27:04In one fell swoop you've succeeded in alienating the church over your moral fitness.
27:10The politicians over your conduct unbecoming.
27:13The House of Commons is in uproar.
27:16They're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button.
27:22Among your many entirely unjustified military honours is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales.
27:31I wonder if you might remind us of their motto.
27:39In English.
27:43Better death than dishonor.
27:45What's that? Speak up!
27:45Better death than dishonor.
27:49A sentiment on which you would do well to reflect.
28:00Are you still here?
28:20It's so painful.
28:23And so public.
28:26So unnecessary too.
28:30Everyone at HQ is frightened.
28:31My dear father included.
28:33They don't know how the world has changed.
28:35Everyone's just blaming everyone else.
28:38That's no excuse for gratuitous, sadistic exhibitionism.
28:43Sounds like playground bullying.
28:46The way the sycophants all nodded.
28:50Grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once.
28:55It leaves me no choice but to...
29:02To protect yourself.
29:06To...
29:07To...
29:08To...
29:08Look after yourself.
29:13Yes.
29:23Historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened because nothing official has happened.
29:28But a change is happening.
29:30Sir.
29:31I ask you to look around you.
29:32What do you see?
29:32Not old stuffy courtiers but young professional men and women of today.
29:38The way ahead group, or the lagging behind group as I like to call them, was set up to prepare
29:44the monarchy for the coming millennium.
29:45But it seems to me they hold some confusion as to which millennium we're actually in.
29:50I think as a guiding principle, if we're interested in saving the monarchy, we should do the exact opposite of
29:55what the way head group recommends.
29:57I think we all agree and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut. A dangerous rut.
30:02It's vital that people are given a reason to believe in and be excited about the future.
30:07And if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is, then the answer is...
30:10It's you, sir.
30:11But right now the problem is no one knows you.
30:15They don't know who you really are or what you think or feel.
30:18I quite agree.
30:20Well, what should we do about that?
30:23Well, one thought that we had was that, um, perhaps a mature, progressive, open television special would be a way
30:32to go.
30:32Where the Prince of Wales is finally given the opportunity to freely air his voice.
30:38Alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview, we could grant cameras, unprecedented access to a future king at work, an
30:46intimate and authoritative profile of an enlightened, thoughtful, forward-thinking man who has been Prince of Wales for a quarter
30:55of a century, and a chance for him to lay out his vision for a modern monarchy, a modern Britain.
31:01Who are you thinking of as the interviewer?
31:04Well, there are a number of candidates, but the name we're most excited about is Jonathan Dimbleby.
31:12He's serious, he's forthright, he's independent-minded.
31:15And there's County Durhamby ideally for going from South Jones to...
31:19People will know that it's not puffery or chocolate box royalism with Dimbleby.
31:25There is an element of risk.
31:29He's bound to ask about the marriage at some point.
31:33But in our view, there's, there's a far greater prospect of reward.
31:38...
31:47Just who you're set?
31:49Ready to go.
31:49Good.
31:50Right. This is it.
31:54You're told.
31:55How are you?
31:56Sir.
31:57Where do you want me?
31:58What's this again?
32:00Please, please.
32:00Right, please.
32:05Five, four, three.
32:10Your Royal Highness, it's, it's fair to say that in recent years the Royal Family has been plagued by a
32:17certain amount of adversity.
32:19Do you think with all these setbacks, to your family and to you personally, that the monarchy can still survive?
32:30Well, more than that, I hope it can, can flourish.
32:35But to do so, it needs to adapt.
32:38It's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform.
32:42I think that we're at a make or break time for the monarchy and we need to be radical.
32:48But of course, there's only so much that I can do as Prince of Wales.
32:53As king, you will also find yourself at the head of an established church.
32:57In the past, you have shown an interest in other faiths.
33:00How does that sit with a future role as supreme governor of the Church of England, defender of the faith?
33:08Well, of course, I prefer to think of myself not as defender of just one faith, the Church of England,
33:14but as defender of faith in general.
33:18Why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the crown?
33:22What about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus?
33:26Are they not its subjects as well?
33:28There is, of course, one question above all that burns in the public's mind and that relates to your marriage
33:35to the Princess of Wales.
33:37One of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were repeatedly unfaithful and that your close association
33:45with Camilla Parker Bowles was a deciding factor in its collapse.
33:50How do you answer that?
33:55Mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine, a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to have.
34:04And even within a marriage, one must still nurture outside friendships.
34:10And Mrs. Parker Bowles is just one of a number of friends that I've been close to over the years.
34:20When you married your wife, you made a pledge before God to uphold your wedding vows.
34:27Did you at least try to be faithful from the start?
34:30Of course.
34:31And were you?
34:32Yes.
34:44Until, until it became obvious that the marriage couldn't be saved, both of us having done our best.
34:59At which point I tried to do my duty, but there was, uh, there was nothing to be done.
35:16So, yes, uh, old friendships were rekindled.
35:26You've been very forthright in your response, very honest.
35:31Is it your hope that this issue will now go away?
35:35No.
35:37Well, I'd certainly prefer it.
35:40It typically stems, I think, from when, when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal,
35:48as husbands or as wives or as, as parents.
35:54And very often the truth is very far from that.
35:57The question people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders?
36:03Do they want someone who errs, but who learns from their mistakes, who grows, who, who recognizes the need for
36:11change, who has a vision?
36:12Or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes and to keep things as they are?
36:25Really, I think that's the clear choice that, uh, that people are faced with.
36:32This desire for progression extends to many aspects of your work as Prince of Wales.
36:43Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed to showcase his work as
36:49Prince of Wales.
36:50And he appeared to have no regrets as he greeted onlookers today during his first public appearance since the programme
36:57aired.
37:00His aides were letting it be known they'd been delighted with the response to his controversial television profile.
37:07Palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support.
37:10The programme contained a number of intimate revelations, including the Prince's close friendship with Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles.
37:17The admission divided viewers between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt to clear the air and those who
37:24felt the Prince had made an error of judgment.
37:27There was no comment from Kensington Palace, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband by attending the Serpentine Gallery's
37:35annual summer party this evening,
37:37putting on a defiant display in what many are already calling her revenge dress.
37:50The Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles, but there is little doubt that the War of the
37:58Waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase.
38:01The Prince and continues?
38:04Camilla! Camilla! Camilla!
38:09Camilla! I'm gonna miss you.
38:17What's going on!
38:22Camilla! Camilla!
38:24Camilla! Camilla!
38:26Camilla! Camilla!
38:48Reaction to the interview is divided
38:51between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king
38:55and should have had the good grace to stay silent
38:58and those that have been pleasantly surprised by what they saw and heard.
39:10Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general
39:15to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus,
39:21rather than defender of the faith that has won most favor.
39:26His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies
39:31that are traditionally left unreached by the monarch.
39:35It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician
39:39because the crown itself is a unifying symbol.
39:42It binds together a kingdom of four nations and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
39:52Charles is frustrated because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
39:59He prefers to be animate.
40:01But there's a danger in that.
40:04One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:07One can end up undoing more than doing.
40:23One can end up undoing more than living.
40:37surprised you do why it's delicious what's all this I hear about a book the
40:48ideas to a book following on from the interview taking some of the points
40:52further why because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say about
40:59education and environment and architecture got drowned out by all the
41:03who are about adultery also people are interested maybe not as interested as
41:10you think maybe more interested than you think my post bag is anything to go by
41:26in the 18th century was considered perfectly normal for Prince of Wales to
41:29set-up shop at Leicester house to generate fresh ideas shadow monarchy lessons a
41:36rival court but this is not the 18th century and creating rival courts is not
41:43what we do in this family we close ranks behind the sovereign not to criticize her
41:51we're all after the same thing
42:01you sure you want to have some of this asparagus it's fresh from the garden
42:22good night
42:24Thanks for coming.
42:39For years I've doubted Charles.
42:44He wasn't strong enough.
42:49Tough enough.
42:52But look what he's just come through.
42:55First that phone recording.
42:57Subsequent humiliation.
42:59Then that interview and subsequent criticism.
43:03It hasn't broken him.
43:05The opposite.
43:07He might be as mad as everyone thinks.
43:09But he's not as weak as everyone thinks.
43:14Charles I saw today was strong.
43:18Confident.
43:20Mature.
43:23Not only does he have what it takes for the job.
43:25In some ways he's already begun.
43:27What do you mean?
43:30For the past year.
43:31Possibly more.
43:34Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court.
43:38At St. James's.
43:40His own Camelot.
43:43His own advisors.
43:45His own modern, progressive agenda.
43:51He knows one day he will be King Charles III.
43:55And if we want to know what that will look and feel like.
44:00He's starting to show us.
44:22He's starting to show us.
44:28He's starting to show us.
44:31Now you may think that someone of my age and background wouldn't understand young people in your communities.
44:36And the unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face.
44:42Well, as it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized and judged.
44:51And I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
44:57That people out there have no idea who I really am.
45:03How about you?
45:04I'm sure that each of you has something within you.
45:10An unacknowledged greatness.
45:13A talent that deserves to be recognized.
45:18And that's what the Prince's Trust is all about.
45:21To give you the confidence to believe in your ideas.
45:25And the money to bring them to fruition.
45:29I want to reach those that have been overlooked.
45:33Rejected.
45:35To make sure that you've been given a chance.
45:40Because it's only when we risk reaching too far
45:44that we find out how far it's possible to go.
46:49It's when I speak, they freak to sweat the technique.
46:52I made my debut in 86 with a melody in a president's mix.
46:57And I would stay on target and reduce the mess.
47:00And I still make hits for beats.
47:02Parties, clubs, instantars, and jeeps.
47:04My underground sound, I race the streets.
47:06MCs want a beef, then I play for keeps when they sweat the technique.
47:10MCs want a beef, then I play for keeps when they sweat the technique.
47:28They want to know how many bombs have I ripped the wreck.
47:31But researchers never found all the pieces yet.
47:33Scientists try to solve the context.
47:36Philosophers are wondering what's next.
47:38Pieces took the lab to a third room.
47:40They couldn't absorb them.
47:41They didn't deserve them.
47:42My ideas are only from the audience's ears.
47:45My opponents, it might take years.
47:47Pencils, pens, and swords.
47:48Let it put together for my key to cards.
47:51I'm also a sculpture, born with structure.
47:53Because of my culture, I'm a ripped and destructor.
47:55I'm styled out a beat full of technology.
47:58Complete sights and new heights after I get deep.
48:00You don't have to speak, just see.
48:03And peep the technique.
48:23You don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak,
48:27you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have to speak, you don't have
