22:09Your Majesty.
22:10Good morning, Stephen.
22:12Thank you, John.
22:18There are three Aquarius to Her Majesty within the Palace,
22:21one of them also performing the role of Deputy Master
22:24of the Household.
22:25In addition to the Queen's page,
22:27Her Majesty's most senior personal servant,
22:30there are also three categories of page.
22:33Pages of the chambers, pages of the presents,
22:36and pages of the back stairs.
22:39Now, shall we move on to ladies of the bedchamber?
22:42If the weather's fine,
22:43Prince Charles will make his way to the altar
22:45and leave later with Lady Diana
22:47in the 1902 state Landau.
22:49It was first used by King Edward VII
22:51and is now favoured by the Queen
22:53to meet foreign heads of state.
22:55Its wet-weather replacement will be the Scottish state code.
23:01Yes, ma'am?
23:03Could I speak to the Prince of Wales
23:04as private secretary, please?
23:06One moment, please.
23:13I'm afraid there's no answer,
23:14but I will certainly let Mr. Redding know in court.
23:27Yes, ma'am?
23:29I was wondering which number to call
23:30to speak to the Queen.
23:32One moment, please.
23:40Her Majesty is at a reception, ma'am,
23:42but I shall inform her of your call.
23:49This is a unique view of a unique day.
23:51Alison Stewart, ITM, over London.
24:34This is a unique view of a unique view.
24:35This is a unique view.
24:37This is a unique view.
25:03Oh, my God.
25:07Oh, my God.
25:59Oh, my God.
26:33Oh, my God.
26:39Oh, my God.
27:02Oh, my God.
27:07Oh, my God.
27:08Oh, my God.
27:20Oh, my God.
27:56Oh, my God.
28:00Oh, my God.
28:03Oh, my God.
28:08Oh, my God.
28:22Oh, my God.
28:22Oh, my God.
28:23Oh, my God.
28:24Oh, my God.
28:25Oh, my God.
28:27Oh, my God.
28:29Oh, my God.
28:58Oh, my God.
29:00Oh, my God.
29:03Oh, my God.
29:09Oh, my God.
29:29Oh, my God.
29:34Oh, my God.
29:47Oh, my God.
29:51Oh, my God.
29:53Oh, my God.
30:00Trio of chocolate mousses with vanilla cream and candied orange.
30:16Mmm.
30:17You know, I took the Prince of Wales here once.
30:19Thinking he might like to try something new.
30:22He loathed it.
30:23Oh?
30:24Loathed.
30:25Not just the concept or the decor or the people, but they made the cardinal mistake of refusing to put
30:32a soft-boiled egg on top.
30:34What?
30:36He has a soft-boiled egg with everything.
30:39You must know that.
30:41And he never eats garlic.
30:42Because of this bizarre new rule, come suppertime, he's always ravenous.
30:49Which new rule?
30:50The lunch rule.
30:54Darling, I would have thought it would have been one of the first things you'd have noticed about him.
30:58The Prince of Wales doesn't eat lunch.
31:01Well, never.
31:01Not if he can help it.
31:03And if he's forced to because of some engagement, it puts him in a terrible mood.
31:07And he drones on and on about gas and bloating and wasted energy due to needless digestion.
31:14I try to cheer him up, but when his tummy goes, so does his sense of humor, I'm afraid.
31:20One of his awful gurus put him onto a...
31:23Well, not gurus, but you know how he loves to surround himself by dreary old men and daddy substitutes.
31:29No.
31:32Darling, you really know nothing, do you?
31:36You need a proper Fred tutorial.
31:42Ah, si. Capisco.
31:54Who's your friend?
31:57It's my nickname for the Prince of Wales.
32:00And he calls me Gladys.
32:02It's harmless nonsense, really.
32:05Right.
32:07Anyway, one of his boring friends, probably Lawrence Vanderpost, good luck with that, by the way, snooze,
32:14got into his head and said that it was only healthy to eat two meals a day.
32:17And since Fred says that breakfast is too delicious to give up and dinner's too important, it had to be
32:23lunch.
32:30Now that you mention it, we've hardly been with one another at lunchtime,
32:35so I haven't really noticed.
32:36The fact is, we've hardly been with one another at all.
32:39That's not true.
32:41It is.
32:45You met at Babington Horse Trials?
32:46Yes.
32:47Then Verdi's Requiem at the Albert Hall, with a chaperone.
32:50Granny, yes.
32:50Who didn't let you out of her sight for a second.
32:52What a second.
32:53Then the weekend at Balmoral, where you were a complete triumph.
32:57It'll go down in history as one of the great Balmoral debuts, the perfect ten.
33:02And then...
33:04Highgrove?
33:07Golly.
33:08He hopes he tells you everything.
33:11Well, we talk most days.
33:15What did you think of it?
33:16His new house?
33:18Highgrove.
33:19Hmm.
33:21It's, um, it's lovely.
33:23Isn't it?
33:24Hmm.
33:24Hmm.
33:27He asked me what I would do with it, if I was decorating.
33:32Did he?
33:33Hmm, yes.
33:34Yes.
33:35I'm rather good at all that.
33:38And what did you say?
33:39Well, I said I'd like to shoot it up a bit.
33:42Make it a bit less stuffy.
33:44Give it a bit of colour, some yellows and peaches.
33:48And don't forget green, his favourite.
33:50And green.
33:51Do you garden?
33:53Not really.
33:53He's obsessed by gardening.
33:55Yes, I know.
33:56He was already talking about either a wild garden or a walled garden.
34:00Both.
34:02Both.
34:03Hmm.
34:03And a kitchen garden and a sundial garden.
34:05Do you fish?
34:06No, not really.
34:07What about hunting?
34:08Not if I can help it.
34:09More of a townie, really.
34:12So you see yourself living more in London than in the country?
34:16Why do you ask?
34:19Just curious.
34:20Hmm.
34:22No, I'm sorry.
34:23I can't stay for coffee.
34:25Well, then let me get this.
34:28Absolutely not.
34:29I'm the senior party here.
34:31Oh, please.
34:33Well, let's go Dutch.
34:35Good idea.
34:37I'm all for sharing.
35:35The lady Spencer is here to see you.
35:37She asked if she could wait.
35:39Can I help you, ma'am?
35:42I need to speak to the Prince of Wales as soon as possible.
35:46I'm afraid he's unavailable.
35:52Is that what he asked you to tell me?
35:54If my future wife wanted to speak to me, make an excuse?
35:59No.
36:00His Royal Highness is unavailable because he's on an aeroplane.
36:03Flying home.
36:06I thought he was flying back tomorrow.
36:08He was always flying back today.
36:14What are these?
36:18Those are drawings.
36:20Of what?
36:22I believe it's a bracelet which the Prince of Wales has had made.
36:29For who?
36:30I believe it's a jewel.
36:31I believe it's a jewel.
36:35I believe it's a jewel.
36:39I believe it's a jewel.
36:42I believe it's a jewel.
36:43I believe it's a jewel.
36:44I believe it's a jewel.
36:46I believe it's a jewel.
36:47I believe it's a jewel.
36:48I believe it's a jewel.
36:49I believe it's a jewel.
36:49I believe it's a jewel.
36:49I believe it's a jewel.
36:50I believe it's a jewel.
36:52I believe it's a jewel.
36:53I believe it's a jewel.
37:11Yes, ma'am?
37:12I need to speak to the Queen. I need to speak to her.
37:15No.
37:15Don't fog me off. It is absolutely essential that I see the Queen.
37:19This wedding can't go ahead. It'll be a disaster for everyone.
37:23Her Majesty is unavailable at the moment, but I shall...
37:55I need to speak to the Queen.
43:06Open it.
43:09The Signet Ring.
43:12Prince of Wales Insignia.
43:20For the Princess of Wales.
43:22For the Princess of Wales.
43:46Let me begin the rehearsal.
44:14Let me begin the rehearsal.
45:28How were rehearsals?
45:30Mummy and I thought lovely.
45:32Margaret disagrees.
45:35Charles loves someone else.
45:39How many times can this family make the same mistake?
45:45Forbidding marriages that should be allowed.
45:51Forcing others that shouldn't.
45:56Paying the consequences each time.
46:02He's marrying Diana.
46:04But he's still in love with the other one.
46:08Let me say something as a man, the older Diana gets, the more confident Diana becomes, the more beautiful Diana
46:20becomes.
46:20But she will. The more Charles will fall in love with her.
46:25And this will be fine.
46:27In the meantime, he juggles them both.
46:31That's how it works.
46:36That's how it's always worked.
46:38It's madness.
46:40We can stop them now.
46:42Before they tie the knot.
46:44Not just for the sake of the monarchy, but for them as human beings.
46:54We have to stop them.
46:56Now.
46:57How?
46:57Wow.
47:42Mummy?
47:48When your great-grandmother, Queen Mary, was a beautiful young princess, she was about
47:56to marry her.
47:56Prince Charming.
47:58But before they got to the church, he fell ill and died.
48:02But everyone had been so impressed with her that they put her together with his younger
48:05brother.
48:06Only one problem, the younger brother was Prince Charmless.
48:11Dull and shy.
48:13There was no attraction, certainly no love.
48:17But in order to make the marriage work, they were encouraged to focus on the bigger idea.
48:23Duty.
48:27They worked and worked and worked.
48:31And out of that work, a tiny seed grew.
48:34A seed of respect and admiration.
48:36A seed that grew into a flower they could eventually call love.
48:48They were married for 42 years.
48:51They stabilized a country that was at war with itself.
48:54And they left the crown stronger, while all around them, the great monarchies of Europe
48:59fell.
49:06Now, I cannot claim to be the most intuitive mother, but I do think I know that one of
49:10my children is unhappy.
49:14whatever wretchedness you are feeling now, whatever doubts you harbor, if you could
49:24follow the example of your great grandmother, love and happiness will surely follow.
49:32What?
49:34What?
49:45What?
49:47What?
49:51What?
49:51What?
49:52What?
50:05What?
50:06What?
50:09How?
50:10How?
50:11How?
50:12How?
50:44Well, the big question of the day, apart from what's the dress going to look like, is what's the weather
50:49going to be? Your most detailed forecast ever, then, Jack. What's it going to be like from Buckingham Palace to
50:55St. Paul?
50:56Well, this sunshine says it all, John, really, doesn't it? With the sun shining down on a crowd that seems
51:01ready to cheer almost anything in the mood. And it's a crowd that's getting bigger and bigger by the minute
51:06as the overnight trains and buses bring thousands of more people to the palace from all over the nation.
51:12Lots of people here went to the fireworks display last night in Hyde Park and then came straight down to
51:18the palace afterwards to make sure they get a good spot.
51:21We're now getting closer to that point when Prince Charles and then Lady Dan set off for some pause. A
51:27scene that will be quite literally flashed around the globe.
51:30King and Queen of the Belgians, King of Norway, with the Grand Prince and the Grand Princess, Queen of Denmark
51:36and the Prince of Denmark, King and Queen of Sweden, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Prince of the Netherlands,
51:41Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, Prince and Princess of Liechtenstein, and the Princess of Monaco.
51:46The next time we see that coach, we'll be peering inside these windows to see if we can get some
51:51idea of what the wedding dress really looks like.
52:25Here is the stuff of which fairy tales are made.
52:30The prince and princess on their wedding day, but fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase,
52:43they lived happily ever after.
52:46This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as an anticlimax after the romance of caution.
52:55As husband and wife live out their vows, loving and cherishing one another, sharing life's splendors and miseries, achievements and
53:08setbacks, they will be transformed in the process.
53:12Our faith sees the wedding day not as the place of arrival, but the place where the adventure really begins.
53:30Just like the white winged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singing, ooh, ooh, ooh.
53:39Just like the white winged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, ooh, said ooh.
53:48And the days go by like a strand in the wind, in the web that is my own, I begin
53:56again.
53:57I said to my friend, baby, nothing else matters.
54:03So with the slow, graceful flow of age, I went forth with an age-old desire to fleece on the
54:21edge of seventeen.
54:25Outro Music
54:29Just like the white winged dove sings a song that sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh.
54:37Feels like the one when we wake up, sing the song, sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, I said
54:45ooh.
