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.
00:02:18Sound of punch!
00:02:36Sound of punch!
00:02:37Do you see it?
00:02:37How many times are you doing?
00:02:38There's a lot of damage.
00:02:38A lot of damage.
00:02:38It's a lot.
00:02:41I don't know.
00:02:41Do you know?
00:02:47There's a lot of money and money.
00:02:47I don't know.
00:03:18I don't know.
00:03:48And 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.
00:05:16Let's see how good it is.
00:05:36Let's see how good it is.
00:05:40Let's see how good it is.
00:06:11Let's see how good it is.
00:06:32Winston?
00:06:33Ever.
00:06:35Let's see how good it is.
00:06:41Let's see how good it is.
00:06:43Let's see how good it is.
00:07:13Let's see how good it is.
00:07:15Let's see how good it is.
00:07:25Let's see how good it is.
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-gray suit and a modest tie, makes his address from a purple-draped platform.
00:08:29The Bible teaches that all of us are wrong. We have all gone astray. With everyone turned to his own
00:08:40way, 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. He's my age. Precisely. A child.
00:08:53I think moral authority and spiritual guidance should come from someone with a little life experience.
00:08:59Not from someone who learnt their trade selling brushes door-to-door in North Carolina.
00:09:03What? There's a humility to that, which I like. Are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:13Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war. Now 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 and
00:09:25live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel, not of despair, but of hope. Hope for the individual. Hope for society. Hope
00:09:38for the world.
00:09:38Turning out in droves for an American zealot. He's not a zealot. He's shouting, darling, any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own ideas to
00:09:54the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:10Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Trooper. Happy birthday to you.
00:10:26Happy birthday, Trooper. Good boy.
00:10:29Same ring.
00:10:30Short ring.
00:10:32Good shot.
00:10:34Carter.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:49Oh no.
00:10:51Now they are losing.
00:10:52I won't see you.
00:10:53It's me.
00:10:54It's me.
00:10:55No, I don't have anything.
00:10:58Where's your care?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:19Alors, qu'est-ce que vous pensez?
00:11:21Magnifique! Buffet!
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not?
00:11:46At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:48Thank you so much.
00:11:53I don't like it.
00:12:11Oh, it's dope!
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.
00:30:20The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:20Father, I am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended, some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from...
00:31:24Trefurt, near Eisenhower, in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out, this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator, ma'am, Hitler's personal translator...
00:31:48was Dr. Schmidt, Dr. Paul Schmidt.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated...
00:32:09Dr. Schmidt asked his assistant, von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned the vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material...
00:32:35hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08There was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi high command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31Unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39You are now insisting that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:47And this is the man you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:57I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:23You 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 we 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, his royal highness.
00:36:07Destroy the royal highness.
00:36:09I don't know.
00:36:39who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These 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.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum.
00:37:09Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:20Your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:00Your Majesty.
00:38:06Ah, yes.
00:38:08Your first time back.
00:38:09In 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.
00:38:26Oh, 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.
00:39:00Anyway.
00:39:02One 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.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:34Oh, 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.
00:39:57Entertaining.
00:40:02Well, 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 during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which 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.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi high command.
00:40:50Well, it's utter 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.
00:41:05In 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 FĆ¼hrer'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.
00:42:14You 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 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.
00:43:01Baseless rumors and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything all right?
00:43:30Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:36Forgiveness.
00:43:37Goodness, what 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?
00:43:49You can't forgive that man.
00:43:51Why 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, so perhaps if I do, you will take it seriously.
00:44:18Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you.
00:44:23And 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 in an unofficial capacity.
00:44:35For sherry or tea.
00:44:37Or human blood, whatever that monster drinks.
00:44:40And ask him about your uncle.
00:44:43He was his private secretary while he was king.
00:44:46He knows everything there is to know.
00:44:47He knows everything there is to know.
00:44:50Your son is pure.
00:44:55I'll leave you there.
00:44:58Okay.
00:45:26Your Majesty.
00:45:28Tommy.
00:45:29It's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah!
00:45:36You're mid-battle.
00:45:37Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything.
00:45:42Ah.
00:45:43It's those uniforms.
00:45:45Nineteenth century.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48And that standard is Duke of Wellington.
00:45:51Very good, ma'am.
00:45:52So it's Waterloo.
00:45:55Salamanca.
00:45:56Ah.
00:45:59Oh.
00:46:00These?
00:46:02Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division.
00:46:05Very lovely.
00:46:06Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am.
00:46:09From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:13Hmm.
00:46:14Shall we, ma'am?
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:25I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life.
00:46:30And as an example of a Christian in a Christian country.
00:46:35To forgive.
00:46:39Your Majesty, that would, in 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 of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg files.
00:46:58So have I.
00:47:00I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more?
00:47:05Yes, 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.
00:47:18Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi.
00:47:23He also shared classified allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed, forgive
00:47:32me, ma'am, with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
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.
00:48:02Because 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 labelled the trip an unofficial state visit.
00:48:32So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip, at the home of Herr Hess, that the plan
00:48:40was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the 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.
00:49:07And there were visits to SS training schools and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13And, of course, the full horrors were yet to come.
00:49:17Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:27And there were no cheating.
00:49:28Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34when a german aircraft crashed in belgium carrying hitler's entire military plan for
00:49:40the invasion of france the duke wasted no time in letting his nazi friends know that allied forces
00:49:46had indeed recovered this priceless information which gave germany time to change its plans
00:49:54and in less than a month paris fell to german occupation but perhaps worst of all the duke
00:50:03told the german government that resolve in the united kingdom in the face of the german aerial
00:50:09bombardment was weakening and that continued bombing that is the continued slaughter of his
00:50:16fellow countrymen and former subjects 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
00:51:08speaking of god looks deep down inside god sees how you really are down inside now you may be out
00:51:19with legion teeth we're fine a church member of good standing in the community but it's your heart
00:51:26heart 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
00:51:45the amount of time that has passed
00:51:49from 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 who's fed you this poison
00:52:32your mother
00:52:34no
00:52:37tommy lassell's
00:52:38i came to my own mind
00:52:40well you have no mind of your own that's why everyone's so thrilled with you
00:52:44the last royal to have a mind of his own was me and that's why they threw me out
00:52:48fine
00:52:50i will go
00:52:53but let me ask you this
00:52:56who has done more damage to the monarchy me with my
00:53:01willfulness or you lot with your inhumanity
00:53:08we all closed our eyes
00:53:10our ears
00:53:12to what was being said about you
00:53:15we dismissed it as fabrications
00:53:18as cruel chatter 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
00:54:00no
00:54:12are you watching
00:54:14go
00:54:15go
00:54:15go
00:54:15go
00:54:17go
00:54:18go
00:54:19go
00:54:19go
00:54:19go
00:54:27All right, sir.
00:54:29Morning.
00:54:30Morning.
00:54:30Morning, sir.
00:54:32Morning, sir.
00:54:33Morning.
00:54:39You have the go-ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, your majesty.
00:55:28Your 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 to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
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.
00:56:48True, but he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:01We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:04But we need not be unchristian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself, humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:32Amen.
00:57:43Amen.
00:57:49Amen.
00:58:14Amen.
00:58:37Amen.
00:58:50Saying one for me.
00:58:53Not on this occasion, no.
00:58:54Go on.
00:58:55Press it where it is.
00:58:57We all know you have the air of the big man upstairs as head of his church.
00:59:03You're drunk.
00:59:04I am.
00:59:04I don't deny it.
00:59:05Get off.
00:59:05Not me in this front, because either is my drinking companions tonight.
00:59:09Care to take a guess?
00:59:11I wouldn't dare.
00:59:13Your day...
00:59:14Your day...
00:59:15Your day-mar 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
00:59:33to celebrate the one good thing that we all have in common.
00:59:36Which is?
00:59:38You.
00:59:40And the heroic way.
00:59:43You 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.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:35No!
01:00:35No!
01:01:01Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
