00:00:12My husband and Abby are deeply touched by our welcome.
00:00:16Merth?
00:00:16Yes, how long do we have?
00:00:18We'll be loud in ten minutes.
00:00:20No, Martin.
00:00:22Will there be a microphone?
00:00:24I'm sure, ma'am.
00:00:25A little more than 50 years ago.
00:00:58Run!
00:01:04My husband and I are deeply touched by our welcome here this morning.
00:01:11A little more than 50 years ago, Nairobi was a savage place, the home of wild animals
00:01:17and uninherited except for the occasional bend of nomadic herdsmen.
00:01:22Now, it is a modern, vibrant city.
00:01:25A striking tribute to the men and women of all races who have made it a great centre of
00:01:31commerce and finance.
00:01:33Now, it remains only for me to pass on the apologies of my father, King George.
00:01:46Who is no doubt very jealous indeed that I have come in his place.
00:01:51He's getting stronger every day.
00:01:55And he will be here with you all again very soon.
00:02:04Your Royal Highness, may I present
00:02:07Senior Chief Waro-Hew Wa-Kanyu of the Kikoyu.
00:02:11Hello.
00:02:12Sronka of the Kipsigis.
00:02:14Hello.
00:02:15Good morning.
00:02:15Bui of the Massa.
00:02:17Yes, hello.
00:02:17Hello.
00:02:18Hello.
00:02:20Such a pleasure.
00:02:20Oh, gosh, look.
00:02:21I've got that one.
00:02:22And that one, actually.
00:02:24Oh, Christ.
00:02:24I've got that one, too.
00:02:25Look.
00:02:27Oh, come off it.
00:02:28Where did you steal that one from, eh?
00:02:31Independence is sweeping across the continent.
00:02:35Support is important more than ever.
00:02:38You think?
00:02:39Oh.
00:02:41Like the hat.
00:02:45It's not a head.
00:02:47It's a crown.
00:02:50It's a crown.
00:03:07It's a crown.
00:04:17Really, Your Majesty?
00:04:24A lot.
00:04:30Well, well.
00:04:33I tell you, I woke up this morning feeling like a new man.
00:04:37I think you should enjoy it, sir.
00:04:42Enjoy every minute while you can.
00:04:45Well, I intend to.
00:04:48I'm going to head straight to Sandringham, but if you give me the all clear to shoot, consider it given.
00:04:56I'm going to head straight to Sandringham.
00:05:03Sorry, ma'am.
00:05:04Can I help you?
00:05:04Oh, Vinitia Scott, I'm new.
00:05:06It's all right.
00:05:06She's with me.
00:05:07Come along.
00:05:13He's away.
00:05:14Yes, sir.
00:05:17Actually, he's asked to see you.
00:05:49Prime Minister?
00:05:51Is that the new girl?
00:05:54Yes, sir.
00:05:57Venetia.
00:05:59Louisa?
00:06:01Venetia.
00:06:02Venetia.
00:06:03Have they told you terrible things?
00:06:06Your colleagues downstairs?
00:06:09Go on, be candid.
00:06:12It is said
00:06:14you can
00:06:15be difficult.
00:06:17I can be a monster, did they say that?
00:06:19Yes, sir.
00:06:20That's true. But you need to be a monster
00:06:23to defeat Hitler.
00:06:25Did Jock give you my box?
00:06:27He did, sir.
00:06:28What did it?
00:06:30You'd like me to open it?
00:06:32Unless you have x-ray
00:06:34vision, you will need to open it
00:06:36so as to be able to tell me
00:06:38what's in it.
00:06:42Well?
00:06:45Some papers about rationing.
00:06:47What else?
00:06:48Some papers from the Exchequer.
00:06:50Anything from the Foreign Office?
00:06:52About America and the Soviet Union?
00:06:54No, sir.
00:06:55Oh, very important.
00:06:57Then start with the Exchequer.
00:07:00Read it aloud.
00:07:01Don't be alarmed if you hear no response.
00:07:05I shall be making mental notes.
00:07:08The economic situation...
00:07:19The economic situation we have inherited
00:07:22is worse than 1949
00:07:26and in many ways worse...
00:07:31Worse than 1947.
00:07:36Confidence in Stirling is impaired.
00:07:39Now, our latest estimate...
00:07:41Suggests that in 1952
00:07:43the United Kingdom
00:07:44will have a deficit
00:07:45on its general balance
00:07:47of overseas payments
00:07:48of between five and six hundred million pounds.
00:07:52Given the circumstances,
00:07:53I'd be interested to hear
00:07:55the PM's views
00:07:57regarding
00:07:58the chances
00:08:01to recover.
00:08:12Either we get rid of him now
00:08:14or we lose the next election
00:08:16and quite possibly lose power
00:08:17for a whole generation.
00:08:18You must act, Anthony.
00:08:21This is your time.
00:08:22The country needs a younger,
00:08:23more dynamic man.
00:08:25And what do you expect me to do?
00:08:27Hmm?
00:08:31He's the party leader
00:08:34and he became party leader
00:08:36on our recommendation.
00:08:40I can't just push him out.
00:08:42Then you must go
00:08:44and see the one person
00:08:45who can.
00:08:46I can't do this.
00:08:47I can't do that.
00:09:01I can't do that.
00:09:31Thank you very much.
00:09:38Hello. Are those for me?
00:09:42Thank you very much.
00:09:43Oh.
00:09:53So, apparently, there's a large breeding herd of elephants at Treetops, so we've got to get there early.
00:09:59Not too early, I hope.
00:10:03Don't worry. What else have you got in mind for our little holiday?
00:10:09Why does everybody think, just because we're royal, we like fine dining, don't they realise we're savages good for nothing
00:10:15but schools and nursery food?
00:10:16It's all right. You can use your fingers.
00:10:19I feel it.
00:10:20Look, stop. Watch.
00:10:37You're all highness.
00:10:40Kiss me.
00:10:43Come on.
00:10:47His majesty will return from the chute at 4 p.m.
00:11:11Good afternoon, sir.
00:11:14Good afternoon.
00:11:15Has majesty wondered if you'd mind accompanying him on the chute at Beecher's Club today?
00:11:22No, not at all.
00:11:23Still rather wet underfoot, I'm afraid, after the storms yesterday, but we can provide you with Wellington boots.
00:11:28There's no need to worry.
00:11:30What size are you, sir?
00:11:32Nine and a half.
00:11:34Though my riding boots are a ten, and my trench boots were an eleven.
00:11:40Make of that what you will.
00:11:42Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye!
00:11:53Much of this is just a function of age.
00:11:58It focuses almost entirely on issues relating to America and the Soviet Union, so important domestic matters.
00:12:16What do you suggest I do?
00:12:19Well, as sovereign, of course, there is nothing you can do from a constitutional standpoint.
00:12:26But as a friend, as Albert Windsor, you are the one person I can think of to whom he might
00:12:35listen.
00:12:37Well, that is where we are from.
00:12:41It's what it is, I'm afraid.
00:12:43But I no longer am Albert Windsor.
00:12:47Well, that person was murdered by his elder brother when he abdicated.
00:12:55And, of course, Albert Windsor would dearly love to say to his old friend Winston Churchill...
00:13:01Take a step back.
00:13:03Put your feet up.
00:13:05Let the younger generation have a go.
00:13:09But he is no longer with us, and that void has been filled by George VI, who, it turns out,
00:13:18is quite the stickler.
00:13:20And no more allow the sovereign to interfere with the prime minister than stand for office himself.
00:13:30Even when it's in the national interest, sir.
00:13:33The national interest, or Anthony Eagin's interest.
00:13:52The reason I agreed to grant you an audience, not to hear your grievances about Mr. Churchill, but to communicate
00:14:00mine about you.
00:14:03Sir, the PM will step down in time.
00:14:08And until then, as sovereign, I do have the right to be consulted, to encourage, to warn.
00:14:19It is better to be patient and get what you desire in the right time.
00:14:27I have no high office thrust upon you when you are not ready.
00:14:33I speak from personal experience.
00:14:39Foreign Secretary.
00:14:41Your Majesty.
00:14:42Sir.
00:14:52So he begins to walk back, sir.
00:15:14Come on, come on.
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:21There you go.
00:15:22You've got it now.
00:15:23Get ready now.
00:15:26I think you'll be all right.
00:15:29How are you from here?
00:15:31It looks that way, sir.
00:15:34Your Highness.
00:15:37I'm your guide.
00:15:38I'll take you to treetops.
00:15:40Very good.
00:15:42Pass me my rifle.
00:15:44And the shells.
00:15:50I must ask you to proceed in total silence from here on.
00:15:54Do not speak unless absolutely necessary, and then only using a low voice.
00:15:59Along the way, we may have to use some hand signals.
00:16:01This means stop.
00:16:03This means freeze.
00:16:04We'll move in small group, single file, maximum three at a time.
00:16:08It's all right.
00:16:09We'll be fine.
00:16:10After you, darling.
00:16:11Stay close, please.
00:16:12Arms late.
00:16:36White flag.
00:16:37I'm not in your way.
00:16:38I'm not in your way.
00:16:40Don't go down.
00:16:40I'm not in your way.
00:16:56Look.
00:17:01Move slowly around me.
00:17:05I'll drop the ladder for you.
00:17:07I'll keep him distracted.
00:17:08No.
00:17:09No, no.
00:17:09You stay with the princess.
00:17:11Philip.
00:17:12Elizabeth, go.
00:17:13Go.
00:17:14Right, your highness.
00:17:15Stay close.
00:17:16Hold on to my jacket.
00:17:19Oh.
00:17:26Oh.
00:17:26Oh.
00:17:27Elizabeth.
00:17:28Easy.
00:17:29Easy.
00:17:30Hey.
00:17:31Hey.
00:17:31Hey.
00:17:32Over here.
00:17:33Over here.
00:17:34Hey.
00:17:35Around.
00:17:36Around.
00:17:37Huh?
00:17:38Easy.
00:17:39Very slowly.
00:17:47Easy.
00:17:49Easy.
00:17:50Stay with me.
00:17:50Keep going, your highness.
00:17:51Keep going.
00:17:52Quickly.
00:17:52Hey.
00:17:53Hey.
00:17:53Stay with me.
00:17:55Away.
00:17:56Away.
00:17:57Away.
00:18:00Easy.
00:18:01Easy.
00:18:05Easy.
00:18:06Easy.
00:18:07Easy.
00:18:09You're all the king.
00:18:14Good boy.
00:18:19Christ.
00:18:27Excuse me, old chap.
00:18:29I'm a tree, John.
00:18:34You're a bloody idiot.
00:18:36I am.
00:18:45I've been thinking.
00:18:47Uh-oh.
00:18:51If Papa's condition should continue to improve,
00:18:55well, I thought I'd ask if we might return to Malta
00:18:58so you can resume your naval career.
00:19:01Really?
00:19:03Hmm.
00:19:06I know you've missed our life there.
00:19:10I have.
00:19:12Well, I have, too.
00:19:15Very much.
00:19:21All right, Papa.
00:19:34There's never just one.
00:19:35No.
00:19:36Yes.
00:19:36Absolutely not.
00:19:37Absolutely so.
00:19:38No.
00:19:38Come on, there's one.
00:19:39Come on, there's one.
00:19:51Come on, there's one.
00:19:52left side.
00:19:55Don't do it.
00:20:00No.
00:20:03No.
00:20:05No.
00:20:06No.
00:20:09No.
00:20:12No.
00:20:13No.
00:20:17No.
00:20:35Anyone not here?
00:20:37Speed out!
00:20:42Right.
00:20:43Good morning, gentlemen.
00:20:44Eight guns today, numbering from the right,
00:20:48moving up two each...
00:20:52each drive.
00:20:54So if you draw one or eight,
00:20:57not to worry, you'll be in the thick of it soon enough.
00:21:04Two short guns on the horn.
00:21:07Indicate the drive's over.
00:21:09Careful.
00:21:10Are you ready?
00:21:13Fill the vehicle.
00:21:14Thank you very much.
00:21:19Hello.
00:21:20Room for one more?
00:21:22Always.
00:21:27Right.
00:21:28Easy on the clutch.
00:21:29Eyes on the road.
00:21:31Not too fast.
00:21:32Don't worry, I'll be gentle with you, Papa.
00:21:44I couldn't sleep.
00:21:47And wouldn't sleep.
00:21:50When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep.
00:21:55Bewitched, bothered and bewildered, am I?
00:22:07I lost my heart, but what of it?
00:22:12He is cold, I agree.
00:22:16I agree.
00:22:18He can laugh, but I love him.
00:22:23Although the laugh's on me.
00:22:29I'll sing to him, each spring to him.
00:22:35And long for the day when I cling to him.
00:22:40The old witch, bothered and bewildered, am I?
00:22:53I'll sing to him, each spring by...
00:22:53I'll sing to you.
00:22:55I can't imagine.
00:22:56Let's go!
00:22:58Oh, my God, my God.
00:23:00Go, my God!
00:23:01Go, my God!
00:23:01Go, go, go.
00:23:02Go, go, go, go!
00:23:03Go, go, go!
00:23:05Go!
00:23:06Go, go, go, go, go!
00:23:07Go, go!
00:23:09Go, go, go, go, go!
00:23:21for a last farewell to the royal travellers.
00:23:24Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh
00:23:26were off on a Commonwealth journey.
00:23:28Nineteen hours later, the royal plane landed at Nairobi.
00:23:32Ahead of them lay a 30,000-mile trip
00:23:34that will take them in five months to four continents.
00:23:38The journey which, but for his illness, the king himself would have undertaken
00:23:42was almost underway.
00:23:56. . .
00:24:04. . .
00:24:04. . .
00:24:19Good morning your majesty. 7.30 sir.
00:24:28Sir?
00:24:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:25:09Sir?
00:25:10I'm not here!
00:25:21Don't worry, my key was just lost.
00:25:31No!
00:25:33No!
00:25:35No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:37No!
00:25:38No!
00:25:38No!
00:25:47No!
00:26:04No!
00:26:06No!
00:26:07No!
00:26:42I'll call the Foreign Secretary, tell him, hide Park Corner.
00:26:50He'll understand.
00:26:58Has the Princess been notified?
00:27:01If you mean the new Queen, my understanding is not.
00:27:05And then I suggest we do so before it breaks on the wires.
00:27:09We're trying.
00:27:10We're not exactly sure where she is at the moment.
00:27:13We're trying to contact the Governor in Nairobi.
00:27:39We're going to have to go.
00:28:23Let's go.
00:28:30We need to go.
00:28:32We can't. We haven't had the all clear.
00:28:35Do you think any other reporters anywhere in the world will be waiting for an all clear?
00:28:39I've had the BBC on the phone again.
00:28:41The news is breaking everywhere. They can't keep holding.
00:28:45No news of the princess?
00:28:47No, sir. Is it a yes to the BBC?
00:28:52It is.
00:28:59Thank God help her.
00:29:04They keep trying to start the engine.
00:29:07All they have to do is make sure the fan is off and wait.
00:29:11No, stop!
00:29:13She's just... she's overheated.
00:29:16No, can I have that? Thank you.
00:29:17All you have to do...
00:29:21It's weak.
00:29:23It's all right. I was a mechanic during the war.
00:29:31This is London.
00:29:33It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement.
00:29:37It was announced from Sandringham at 10.45 today.
00:29:41The death has been announced this morning.
00:29:43Since its own property is deprived of Sandringham.
00:29:46Willekio Yake, Itawa, and Uisho, and Umo...
00:29:51No, it's the time to act before you...
00:29:52No, we're not trying to fight before you...
00:29:55No, we're not trying to fight...
00:29:57No, we're trying to fight...
00:29:59...we're trying to fight and fight...
00:30:191045, sorry. There'll be a demonstration of the units of the African Rifles.
00:30:23Christ. Hold on, would you? 1300 drive to Nanyuki Airfield on board, East African Airways C-47,
00:30:32departing on a 1330 Shredderum flight. As flags across the nation are lowered in tribute,
00:30:39and news spreads throughout our cities and villages, crowds gather to mourn King George VI.
00:30:47We are comforted by the knowledge that he spent his final hours in the happy company of his wife and
00:30:53youngest daughter.
00:30:55For it is as a devoted family man that we as a nation shall best remember him.
00:31:01They don't know.
00:31:06Tugana, now, man!
00:31:24Tugana! Tugana! Tugana! Tugana!
00:31:30Tugana! Tugana! Tugana! How was she talking to her?
00:31:33It was wonderful. We saw elephants.
00:31:38Oh, that looks delicious.
00:31:39Welcome back, ma'am.
00:31:41Let's go.
00:31:42Let's drive, shall we?
00:31:47Ready?
00:31:48Ready?
00:31:49Go.
00:32:12Princess Elizabeth.
00:32:16The princess.
00:32:19Yeah.
00:32:40Okay.
00:32:40Okay.
00:32:57Excuse me, sir.
00:32:59What is it, Marston?
00:33:00What is it, Marston?
00:33:03Hmm?
00:33:04Oh.
00:33:26The profound sense of personal grief felt amongst his people today stems from their respect.
00:33:32I'll know what happens.
00:33:34No, no, no.
00:33:36I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:34:02I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:34:32The king, who retired to rest last night in his usual health, passed peacefully away in
00:34:39his sleep.
00:34:40The BBC offers profound sympathy to Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.
00:34:45I, uh, I should be the one to tell her.
00:35:39Your Royal Highness, this stage of the embalming process,
00:35:44it may distress you.
00:36:14Your Royal Highness.
00:36:40Your Royal Highness.
00:36:43Your Royal Highness.
00:37:10Your Royal Highness.
00:37:32Your Royal Highness.
00:37:47It's all right.
00:37:56You're not going.
00:37:58I won't let you go.
00:38:09Ma'am, may I have a word?
00:38:22It appears Miss MacDonald neglected to pack a black dress.
00:38:27We've called ahead to London and something will be brought onto the plane before you disembark.
00:38:32Right.
00:38:34And a word of warning, ma'am.
00:38:38A good many journalists outside.
00:38:44Royal correspondence, mostly.
00:38:47Assigned to cover the tour.
00:38:52Should I say something?
00:38:53No, that won't be necessary.
00:38:56Though it would help if we could decide here and now on your name.
00:39:02My name?
00:39:03Yes, ma'am.
00:39:05Your regnal name.
00:39:07That is the name you'll take as Queen.
00:39:10Your father took George.
00:39:12Obviously, his name is...
00:39:14Was.
00:39:16Albert.
00:39:18And before he abdicated, your uncle took Edward.
00:39:23Of course, his name was David.
00:39:25What's wrong with my name?
00:39:26Nothing.
00:39:34Well, then, let's not overcomplicate matters unnecessarily.
00:39:40My name is Elizabeth.
00:39:43Then, long live Queen Elizabeth.
00:40:04So sorry about the dress, ma'am.
00:40:13Well, ready when you are, ma'am.
00:40:22I'm sorry.
00:40:25I'm sorry.
00:40:27I'm sorry.
00:40:32I'm sorry.
00:40:34I'm sorry.
00:40:35I'm sorry.
00:40:36I'm sorry.
00:40:39I'm sorry.
00:40:39I'm sorry.
00:40:41I'm sorry.
00:40:42I'm sorry.
00:40:43I'm sorry.
00:40:45I'll go by our cubbies.
00:40:47Saruman...
00:40:51Saruman...
00:40:52Saruman...
00:40:54Saruman...
00:40:56Saruman...
00:40:58Saruman...
00:40:59Now.
00:41:20Saruman...
00:43:37It's the middle of the night.
00:43:39I couldn't sleep.
00:43:40No one in the country could sleep.
00:43:44I know one shouldn't believe everything one hears.
00:43:48But...
00:43:49I was speaking with Jock Colville's wife.
00:43:52Mary.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53Margaret.
00:43:53She said that Antony went to see the king ten days ago.
00:43:59What for?
00:44:01To express his concern about your age.
00:44:04Your leadership.
00:44:06Your incapacity.
00:44:08And to ask him to bid you to stand down.
00:44:11Oh, that's impossible.
00:44:12The king would never engage in such a treachery.
00:44:15And Antony would never dare.
00:44:17I've been like a father to him.
00:44:20I've groomed him every step of the way.
00:44:27Well...
00:44:28Ignore me, then.
00:44:31It's probably nothing.
00:44:34Come on.
00:44:34It's probably nothing.
00:44:37What are you up to?
00:44:39My eulogy for the king.
00:44:42It's broadcast tomorrow.
00:44:44The right words keep eluding me.
00:44:47They'll want you to fail, you know.
00:44:49I know.
00:44:51Anything less than perfect will be a disaster.
00:44:58Antony, eh?
00:45:09I can't sleep.
00:45:13No.
00:45:15No.
00:45:34I'm sorry.
00:45:38You're sorry.
00:45:42I'm sorry.
00:45:44I thought we'd have longer.
00:45:48Ma'am?
00:45:50Three hours to go now.
00:46:00What do you think will happen?
00:46:03When?
00:46:07When we land.
00:46:11What will happen then?
00:46:21Morning.
00:46:22Morning.
00:46:23The M will not be joining us this morning.
00:46:25I'm very much tired from all the emotion of yesterday.
00:46:31So where is he?
00:46:32He's still asleep.
00:46:34So in his absence,
00:46:36as deputy,
00:46:38I will preside.
00:46:43The Queen's flight is...
00:46:45Wait a minute, Antony.
00:46:47If you're persuading over the meeting on behalf of the PM,
00:46:52shouldn't you be sitting in the appropriate chair?
00:46:55Well, I don't think that's entirely necessary.
00:47:09Very well.
00:47:24Sir.
00:47:26Sir.
00:47:26The Queen's flight is now over Italy,
00:47:29having left the El Adem airfield in Libya
00:47:33at five this morning.
00:47:38Sorry to disturb.
00:47:45May I just say how very sorry I am
00:47:48that we'll not be working together anymore?
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I have to give way to Sir Tommy Lassels.
00:47:56As private secretary to this offering,
00:47:59he's my senior.
00:48:01This is where I have to stand aside for the great man.
00:48:04Martin.
00:48:07So sorry.
00:48:15Now.
00:48:19What a nightmare.
00:48:22George Lassels at least had one foot in the real world.
00:48:26And was your man, our man,
00:48:28on our side?
00:48:32Or was Tommy Lassels
00:48:34stuck in the land that time for gold?
00:48:41You asked to see me, sir?
00:48:44I did.
00:48:47Will you sit?
00:48:49Thank you, sir.
00:48:52I'd assumed that,
00:48:54following the death of his late majesty,
00:48:57you would,
00:48:57at the earliest appropriate moment,
00:49:01be resuming your duties
00:49:02with the Royal Air Force.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:07I mentioned this to the queen,
00:49:11the queen mother,
00:49:12this morning,
00:49:13who then asked me,
00:49:15quite unusually,
00:49:16to ask you
00:49:16whether you might like
00:49:17to reconsider such a departure.
00:49:20Sir?
00:49:21She felt that you had enjoyed
00:49:22an uncommonly close association
00:49:24with her late husband,
00:49:26and earned not just his trust,
00:49:28but the trust and affection
00:49:29of the whole family.
00:49:31Thank you, sir.
00:49:32In the light of this,
00:49:33she wondered whether
00:49:34you might consider
00:49:35staying on in a new role
00:49:37as controller
00:49:38of the queen mother's household.
00:49:41I see.
00:49:42A kind and generous offer,
00:49:43as befits the widow
00:49:45of a kind
00:49:47and generous man.
00:49:51But, while I'm sure
00:49:52you're greatly flattered,
00:49:53I don't expect you
00:49:54to accept the post.
00:49:55Hence my discouragement
00:49:57of the offer.
00:49:58I didn't want her majesty
00:49:59to suffer the embarrassment
00:50:00of a refusal.
00:50:01Why would I not accept, sir?
00:50:03Well, you're asking
00:50:05the wrong question, Townsend.
00:50:06Why would you?
00:50:08You're a decorated war hero
00:50:10still in your prime.
00:50:11Controller of the queen mother's household
00:50:13has no military associations.
00:50:15Would take you away
00:50:16from your wife and children.
00:50:18After all,
00:50:19the person with whom you enjoyed
00:50:21the uncommonly close understanding
00:50:23is deceased.
00:50:30unless I'm missing something.
00:50:33Unless there is someone else
00:50:35with whom you enjoy
00:50:36an uncommonly close understanding
00:50:38which would make accepting
00:50:39this post more attractive.
00:50:43I don't know what you're
00:50:44referring to, sir.
00:50:45Don't you, Group Captain Townsend?
00:50:47Husband and father.
00:50:52No, sir.
00:51:03You're probably telling yourself
00:51:05that because no one
00:51:06has confronted you about it
00:51:08that no one can know.
00:51:10Allow me to disabuse you
00:51:12of that delusion.
00:51:14Within the close community
00:51:17of those that serve the family,
00:51:18may I regret to tell you
00:51:20that talk, ugly talk,
00:51:23unbecoming tittle-tattle
00:51:24is a little else.
00:51:26Now, I'm well aware
00:51:27of the toll
00:51:28that a round-the-clock service
00:51:30takes on the private lives
00:51:31of those that serve.
00:51:33I am also aware
00:51:35of the feelings
00:51:37generated by continued
00:51:39close proximity
00:51:40to the people you're working for.
00:51:42But I would hate you
00:51:43to mistake those feelings
00:51:44for anything else
00:51:58will you thank the Queen Mother
00:51:59for her kind offer?
00:52:06I should be delighted
00:52:08to accept.
00:52:09There's no rush.
00:52:11Take your time
00:52:12to think it over.
00:52:1372 hours?
00:52:15A week?
00:52:17I want you to make
00:52:18the right decision.
00:52:19I already have, sir.
00:52:21The answer is yes.
00:52:52I want you to make
00:52:55You can't go back, Winston.
00:53:00Impeccable timing.
00:53:06That's the one.
00:53:18Your Majesty, I've been asked to give you this.
00:53:22And this map from Her Majesty Queen Mary.
00:53:29Thank you, Chargerous.
00:53:31I'll take over from here.
00:53:39Thank you, Martin. Thank you, sir.
00:53:46Your Majesty.
00:53:49Martin.
00:54:10The Cloud of the Lillibeth.
00:54:13I know how you loved your Papa, my son.
00:54:17and I know you will be as devastated as I am by this loss but you must put those
00:54:24sentiments to one side now for duty calls the grief for your father's death
00:54:31will be felt far and wide your people will need your strength and leadership
00:54:42I have seen three great monarchies brought down through their failure to separate personal
00:54:49indulgences from duty you must not allow yourself to make similar mistakes
00:54:57and while you mourn your father you must also mourn someone else
00:55:04Elizabeth Mountbatten for she has now been replaced by another person Elizabeth Regina
00:55:17the two Elizabeths will frequently be in conflict with one another
00:55:23the fact is the crown must win must always win
00:55:37ready man it's all right I'll escort it out from there
00:55:40no sir if you don't mind the crown takes precedence
00:55:44no sir
00:56:05no sir
00:56:14Stand by, everybody.
00:56:38This is London.
00:56:40Three, two, one.
00:57:12When the death of the king was announced to us yesterday morning, there struck a deep and somber note in
00:57:24our lives, which resounded far and wide, stilled the clatter and traffic of 20th century life.
00:57:38And made countless millions of human beings around the world, pause and look around them.
00:57:51The king was greatly loved by all his peoples.
00:57:58The greatest shocks ever felt by this island fell upon us in his reign.
00:58:06Never in our long history were we exposed to greater perils of invasion and destruction.
00:58:20The late king, who assumed the heavy burden of the crown when he succeeded his brother, lived through every minute
00:58:34of this struggle.
00:58:36With a heart that never quavered, and a spirit undaunted.
00:58:52In the end, death came as a friend.
00:59:01And after a happy day of sunshine and sport, and after good night to those who loved him best, he
00:59:11fell asleep.
00:59:14As every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else in the world may hope to do.
00:59:43Now, I must leave the treasures of the past and turn to the future.
00:59:52Famous have been the reigns of our queens.
00:59:57Some of the greatest periods in our history have unfolded under their scepters.
01:00:06Queen Elizabeth II, like her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I, did not pass her childhood in any certain expectation of the
01:00:20crown.
01:00:22This new Elizabethan age comes at a time when mankind stands uncertainly poised.
01:00:31Wait.
01:00:40I, whose youth was passed in the august, unchallenged, and tranquil glories of the Victorian era,
01:00:50may well feel a thrill in invoking once more the prayer and the anthem.
01:01:03God save the queen.
01:01:07God save the queen.
01:01:09God save the queen.
01:01:14God save the queen.
01:01:15God save the queen.
01:01:27God save the queen.
01:01:28God save the queen.
01:01:28God save the queen.
01:01:28God save the queen.
01:01:28God save the queen.
01:01:31God save the queen.
01:01:39God save the queen.
