00:00You
00:30Yes?
00:37Ah, there you are. Come in.
00:40I'm practicing for the big day tomorrow and...
00:45I need an archbishop.
00:53Will you do me the honor, if you can?
01:02Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
01:06I am...
01:10...willing.
01:12Will you maintain and preserve in...
01:17...invi...
01:22Ah, inviolably.
01:25It means...
01:26...to make a promise you can...
01:30...you can never break.
01:32A very sacred promise indeed.
01:37Yes!
01:41We're ready for you, sir.
01:42Oh, not yet, Tommy.
01:45We haven't even reached the anointing.
01:48You have to anoint me.
01:51Otherwise, I can't...
01:55...be king.
01:58Do you understand?
02:01When the holy oil touches me...
02:06...I am...
02:07...I am transformed.
02:11Brought into direct contact...
02:15...with the divine.
02:20For...
02:21...forever changed.
02:25Bound to God.
02:28It is the most important part...
02:30...of the entire ceremony.
02:34So we had better practice, hadn't we, Archbishop?
02:41Be thy hands...
02:43...anointed with holy oil.
02:51Be thy breast...
02:54...anointed with holy oil.
03:07Be thy head...
03:10...anointed...
03:10...with holy oil.
03:14As kings...
03:15...priests...
03:16...and prophets were anointed.
03:28Oh, goodness.
03:30That's very heavy indeed.
03:32Five pounds, sir.
03:34Not to mention the...
03:37...symbolic...
03:38...weight.
03:51As a sight I hoped I'd never see...
04:13...of the ceremony.
04:13But...
04:13...sog to the...
04:14...sog to the...
04:17...on the other...
04:17...sog to the...
04:17...and I felt...
04:17...not...
04:25...sog to the...
04:35It's not as easy as it looks.
04:39That's exactly what the king said.
04:44I remember.
04:48Do you suppose I could borrow it for a couple of days?
04:52Just to practice?
04:54Borrow it, ma'am.
04:56From whom?
04:58If it's not yours, whose is it?
05:03Borrow it, ma'am.
05:30Borrow it, ma'am.
05:59Borrow it, ma'am.
06:04Borrow it.
06:092.
06:113.
06:182.
06:273.
06:274.
06:2910.
06:305.
06:3210.
06:3210.
06:3811.
06:3915.
06:41Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so.
06:52Oh, any idea where the Duke is?
06:54His Royal Highness went flying, ma'am.
06:56Eddie?
06:58Again?
07:04So when's the big day?
07:07Pilot's exam.
07:08Two weeks.
07:10Are you still on track for the record?
07:12I am, just.
07:14If I do nothing else.
07:16Oh.
07:17Then you'll hate me.
07:18Why?
07:19There is something I want you to help me with.
07:22It would have to be jolly important to distract me from getting my wings faster than anyone in British aviation
07:26history.
07:26It is.
07:28I'd like you to come aboard my coronation committee.
07:33In which capacity?
07:35As chairman.
07:37You already have one.
07:39Vernon.
07:40I'd ask the Duke of Norfolk to make room for you.
07:44I want to make a public declaration of my trust in you.
07:47There's no need to matronize me.
07:49I'm not matronizing you.
07:50Yes, you are.
07:50You're taking pity on me and giving me a job for appearance's sake.
07:54No, it's not that.
07:55I was just thinking how I'd like us to spend more time together.
07:58What are you talking about?
07:59We spend all our time together.
08:00No, we don't.
08:02You're always off flying or lunching with strange men.
08:05A few hours a week, darling.
08:06Anyway, what else am I supposed to do?
08:08Sit around and wait for you while you're queening?
08:10Queening?
08:11Yes, queening.
08:13Maybe I'd like your help with the queening.
08:14Oh, in the same flattering way you asked me to redecorate Clarence's house.
08:18Well, you did that jolly well.
08:19I felt like a sissy.
08:21Fussing about curtain fabrics and paint, Charles.
08:23Honestly, it's just queening of another sort.
08:35What would it entail?
08:38Well, the Duke of Norfolk would run the show from an organizational perspective.
08:43Look after the seating, the route of the procession, but as chairman of the committee,
08:47you would have an input on ideas.
08:49Inspire everyone.
08:51Lead them.
08:52They won't listen to me.
08:53The grey old men.
08:55The men with moustaches.
08:55They hate me.
09:01They do not hate you.
09:02They do.
09:04They treat me as an outsider.
09:07An irrelevance.
09:09Everyone does.
09:23chỉ quite very loyal if you think of it.
09:25It would be.
09:26Total control.
09:28Or nothing at all?
09:29Those are my turns.
09:35Oh...
09:36You're right.
09:40But don't go mad.
09:42What does that mean?
09:43It means just don't go mad.
09:48Coronation.
09:49A service which goes back a thousand years.
09:53Some things can't be changed.
09:55Yes, yes, yes, all right.
10:11When did you move in?
10:13The city of Paris owns the property, you know,
10:16and happily the city very kindly let us take the house
10:20for a small amount of rent.
10:22So we moved in by summer's end.
10:25You must have been thrilled, Your Highness.
10:28Not, Your Highness.
10:29Oh.
10:30Sawpoint.
10:32Just a duchess.
10:33Not age or age.
10:35So, ma'am.
10:38Ma'am?
10:39Or Your Grace.
10:44What made you choose this particular house?
10:46It has a two-acre park which gives us privacy.
10:49And its size means the Duke and I can finally entertain properly
10:52and we very much enjoy entertaining.
10:54The duchess is so very good at it.
10:57I believe our editor agreed as part of the deal
10:59that you would give our readers some tips for entertaining.
11:03Did we agree that?
11:04We did, darling, yes.
11:06We paid extra.
11:07Hmm.
11:08Perfect.
11:09Big smiles.
11:12Perfect.
11:14Well, having had a naval background,
11:17I don't much care for fussy things or smells,
11:20but I do like a good, well-milled soap.
11:28What sartorial tips would you give the young men of today?
11:31No matter what the fashion, a well-cut suit in a beautiful fabric will take you anywhere.
11:40Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?
11:46You're very fortunate.
11:48He lets no one in here.
11:50It's his private room, full of secrets.
11:53Oh, not secrets, darling.
11:55Memories, precious memories.
11:59I come in here for a few moments every day to meditate and remember.
12:07Goodness.
12:09Bagpipes, too.
12:11Yes, I play.
12:13When he gets homesick.
12:16My favourite armchair.
12:20And the briefcase?
12:21Box.
12:23As monarch, one receives a daily red box from the government.
12:30State papers, business of the day, matters requiring royal assent.
12:36That was the final box I received as king.
12:41It contained my education papers.
12:44And all these photographs of you as king.
12:47There are none with the crown.
12:49Why is that?
12:50Well, I never made it that far.
12:58I never had a coronation.
13:04Oh, I forgot to mention.
13:09I had a call today from Sir John Weir.
13:12Who?
13:14My mother's doctor.
13:17Telling me that, in his opinion, she was in her final days now.
13:23And that my sister and I should make our way over.
13:27With me?
13:32Probably best without.
13:38Even if she dies?
13:42And so she does.
13:45I couldn't bear to go over twice.
13:49I shall have to be brave.
13:53My darling one.
14:00And go without you.
14:03To cold London.
14:08Brutal London.
14:11Hellish London.
14:24I shall have to be brave.
14:44The Lord's Great Chamberlain.
14:45The Lord Chamberlain.
14:47The Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps.
14:49And the Comptroller, Your Majesty.
14:51I've asked you to join me because I've made a decision regarding the coronation committee.
14:57Which is that I would like my husband to be the chairman of that committee.
15:07That's impossible, ma'am.
15:08There can only be one chairman.
15:11As far as I'm aware, I only have one husband.
15:14And the Duke of Norfolk will be expecting it to be him.
15:17He is the Earl Marshal.
15:19That may be.
15:20And the Chief Butler of England.
15:22He would be the 16th Duke of Norfolk to do it.
15:26He ran your father's coronation.
15:28His father ran your grandfather's.
15:31And running the coronation, it's what the Norfolks do.
15:37Couldn't you give Philip some other job?
15:40Like what?
15:44Arrange the photographer?
15:50The chairmanship is what he wants.
15:52With full autonomy.
15:55Therefore, it's what I want.
15:58Norfolk can be vice chair.
16:00Why don't you think about it?
16:02I have.
16:03And my decision stands.
16:13Of course, the Duke of Norfolk will be furious.
16:16Yes.
16:17And Bernard does fury so well.
16:20What would your majesty suggest?
16:23I will throw my hat in that Bernard and sanity will prevail.
16:28The Queen is young.
16:30He has to learn what any young general has to learn.
16:34Namely?
16:36Which battles to fight and which to lead.
16:40Well, let me know what you want me to do.
16:43Same as always, Tommy.
16:46Exactly as I tell you.
16:49Now, I've spoken to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who has agreed to help us with our other delicate matter.
16:57The Duke of Windsor.
17:00When does he arrive?
17:01This afternoon, I believe.
17:02God help.
17:04And when will you meet him?
17:07We thought tomorrow, ma'am.
17:10Good.
17:11Sooner the better.
17:13You sure to be firm, Tommy?
17:15Yes, ma'am.
17:16That one's like mercury.
17:18He'll slip through the tiniest crack.
17:25Good afternoon.
17:28I've returned to London to visit my mother, Queen Mary, who I'm delighted to say has made such good improvement
17:38in recent days.
17:39Thank you very much.
17:59My dearest darling one, London is as awful and hellish and as full of my smug, stinking relations as ever.
18:10Each day, I call on Mama in the afternoon.
18:13And although she doesn't look quite as bad as the doctors warn me, she'll never again be able to leave
18:19her rooms.
18:20Far less go out in public.
18:24Better.
18:40What?
18:44Don't go.
18:48Not going anywhere, mummy.
18:55It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to endure.
18:58And spending so much time with a woman who has been so vicious and inhumane to you, my beloved, is
19:05wearing me down.
19:07Have a minute.
19:14Sorry to disturb you, Your Royal Highness.
19:17What is it?
19:18The Archbishop of Canterbury's private secretary called, sir, requesting a meeting between you and His Grace.
19:24Oh? What about?
19:25It didn't say, sir. He hoped you could make tomorrow.
19:30Fine. I have a few errands planned, but the Archbishop can come to lunch.
19:35As a matter of fact, they suggested 4pm.
19:38Well, all right. We'll give him tea.
19:41At Lambeth Palace.
19:45Of course.
19:48And I'm no longer king.
19:51I go to them.
19:57Good night, Your Royal Highness.
20:33His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor, Your Grace.
20:38Goodness, what is this?
20:40An ambush?
20:42Not at all, sir.
20:43You're not just a gathering of old friends who come together to appeal to you in person,
20:50in the hope that you will do what we all think would be...
20:58The right thing.
21:01Regarding what?
21:03The coronation.
21:07What about the coronation?
21:13We acknowledge, as a member of the Queen's close family, you are entitled to attend.
21:23But also feel that the attendance at this sacred ceremony, by one who, however good his reasons, did not feel
21:36capable of undertaking the obligations himself.
21:42Well, it could strike a wrong note, and would be deeply upsetting.
21:51To whom?
21:52To everyone concerned.
21:53I didn't ask you, Tommy.
21:56This is Cookie's work, isn't it?
21:58The Queen Mother's.
22:00It's got her pudgy little fingers all over it.
22:03She asked you to do her dirty work for her, and you agreed, Archbishop. Shame on you.
22:08I will attend if I want, and I do want, and so does my wife.
22:13Alas, no, sir.
22:15Of course, the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you, as a royal duke,
22:21but that obligation does not extend to the Duchess of Windsor.
22:24And it is my duty to inform you, on behalf of the royal family, and the government with whom we
22:30have worked in close consultation,
22:32that she will not be offered an invitation.
22:36Oh, it's madness.
22:41The pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits.
22:46Seventeen years have elapsed since the abdication.
22:52Shouldn't bygones be bygones?
22:54Some things can never be forgotten.
22:56Which of us, for example, has forgotten the song?
22:59You would compare the love and public commitment I made to my wife to slaughter in a world war?
23:24Why not use a celebration such as this?
23:31The investiture of a new sovereign, a beautiful young child, symbol of maternity, change and progress to turn a page.
23:42Surely the sophistication of a society can be measured by its tolerance and ability to forgive.
23:48Its weakness, too.
23:50Sometimes lines just need to be drawn.
23:53You know, Tommy, you're an embarrassment to the institution you serve, and to the country that institution serves in turn.
24:00And I will take a lecture on national embarrassment from many people, sir, but not from you.
24:06Let's face it. This whole thing is a charade.
24:10You knew already the answer to the choice you have given me.
24:13It is simply the same as the choice that caused all this offence in the first place.
24:17Namely, would I do anything that excludes or disrespects the woman I love?
24:22No, never. I will therefore not be attending the coronation of my own niece, whose favourite uncle I have always
24:30been.
24:31Hers, you should know, was one of the strongest voices involved.
24:34Oh, was it indeed? Well, we know from where she gets that ice in her veins, and it wasn't from
24:39my own dear weak brother.
24:41Nothing weak about the late king, sir. I'm sure I speak for everyone present when I call him a hero.
24:47Hear, hear.
24:51My Lord Archbishop, what a scold you are.
24:57And when your man is down, how very bold you are.
25:00Of Christian charity, how very scant you are, you old lang swine.
25:08How full of cant you are.
25:11A rhyme composed for your perfidious predecessor at the time of my abdication.
25:18I find the sentiment oddly applicable to you, too.
25:36If I were to release a statement, could you have a look over it?
25:41Of course, sir.
25:46I'm aware that it's normal for no reigning monarchs to be present.
25:51But a coronation, perhaps we could extend that to include former kings, too.
25:58To spare my blushes. Might just throw some of the vultures off the scent.
26:07It's an elegant solution, sir. And I'm quite sure Cabinet will support it.
26:13Tommy?
26:15I'll speak to their magisters and get back to you.
26:26We've just had a call from Mulrachers.
26:29Regarding Her Majesty Queen Mary.
26:38My own darling sweetheart.
26:42Well, at last it's all over.
26:45Mama took ill in the afternoon, then began hemorrhaging in the early hours.
26:51Doctors plied her with tranquilizers and morphine to ensure there was no suffering.
26:57In the end, she passed in her sleep.
27:00I was sad, of course, but let's not forget how she clung to such hatred for me.
27:06Her eldest till the last.
27:10I'm afraid her blood ran as icy cold when she was alive as it does now she's dead.
27:18Later in the day, all the members of the family assembled to identify which of her personal possessions they were
27:25most liked.
27:27I told Shirley Temple what I had my eye on.
27:30But as I shan't be there when the jackals descend, I don't suppose it would do much good.
27:36What a vile, tawdry rabble my relatives are.
27:41And what a sad, desiccated bunch of hyenas most of them have become.
27:48But I'm tired of talking about it.
27:51I yearn for our perfect life together.
27:55Away from the snarling and the sniping of the court.
27:59I adore you, my sweetheart, more deeply than you will ever realize.
28:05And I am furiously mad that you aren't here with me as you ought by right to be.
28:15While Queen Mary lived something of the great reigns of Queen Victoria and George V seemed to live on with
28:25her.
28:26Proving that character is, as it will remain, the essential strength of British monarchy.
28:36And then, wherever she went, she was assured of an applause which sprang from some deep-seated affection.
28:47Respect.
28:47You noticed, identical to the funeral of your father, nothing different, not one detail, but one guest.
28:54Like me.
28:57And she always regarded herself as a servant of our country, which she served, to the end.
29:07No sooner does someone in the family pop their clogs, they ask themselves,
29:11right, how's it done last time and it's doing correctly the same way again?
29:14I mean, the people who have come to share in it are locked outside.
29:22Well, I'm not going to let your coronation be like this.
29:25You're a young woman, simply of a new era.
29:27In a fast-changing, modern world.
29:35And I think your coronation should reflect that.
29:37For as much as it hath pleased almighty God of his great mercy.
29:53Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
30:01Ensure an uncertain hope of the resurrection of eternal life.
30:06Through our Lord Jesus Christ, the chains shall revile the body,
30:11as it may be like to come to his...
30:15Warning, all right.
30:21That's what's done.
30:22Ladies and gentlemen.
30:24The North's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
30:27The North's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
30:29The North's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen.
30:41The North's Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen,
30:47who is the president?
30:48The North's Prime Minister, speaking half-minded,
30:59The North's Prime Minister, centre-feast of Single graveyard governing
30:59which direct maresheilrps are not
31:09What is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old Tonians?
31:17A herd pack.
31:21A school.
31:50Gentlemen, I'd like to start by saying how very honored I feel to be working with all
31:55the great minds and talents here in this room today as we come together to organize the
32:01very best coronation for my wife, Queen.
32:06We all know the scale of the challenge that faces us.
32:10The eyes of the world will be on us, Britain will be on show, and we must put our best
32:15foot forward.
32:18In such circumstances, the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent
32:24set by the grand and successful coronations of the past.
32:30But looking to the past for our inspiration would be a mistake in my view.
32:36Britain today is not the Britain of past coronations.
32:40Assumptions made at the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made anymore.
32:47That is why I think we should adapt this ceremony.
32:53Make it less ostentatious, more egalitarian, show more respect and sensitivity to the real
33:00world.
33:00We have a new sovereign, young, and a woman.
33:03Let us give her a coronation that is befitting of the wind of change that she represents modern
33:12and forward-looking at a moment in time where exciting technological developments are making
33:17things possible we never dreamt of.
33:20Which brings me to my next point.
33:34It's an unconscionable vulgarisation.
33:43How close are you proposing that these cameras get there will be kept at a very discreet distance?
33:48No.
33:49No.
33:50No.
33:50Close-up, sir.
33:53Zoom.
33:54Lenses.
33:55Oh, no.
33:56It will all be done with the greatest sensitivity and respect for the occasion.
34:11But I have had one or two broader thoughts about the service itself.
34:20Come on.
34:21Come on.
34:35We can both see what's going on here.
34:37A young couple are playing marital games with the most cherished parts of our history
34:41and pageantry.
34:44Our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these radical proposals.
34:48Television being just the tip of the iceberg.
34:54She's simply trying to keep peace in her own bedchamber.
34:57By promoting her husband, keeping him happy and occupied and virile.
35:04That's what's going on here, Winston.
35:06Why?
35:07What else has he proposed?
35:14Prime Minister?
35:15Your Majesty.
35:35Please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband.
35:39I told him not to go mad.
35:43No one is questioning the Duke of Edinburgh's motives or the sincerity of his beliefs.
35:49I see.
35:50He went mad.
35:53The changes he is proposing to an ancient, sacred, never previously changed liturgy and text.
36:04If it went from top to toe, and if it were just a business, it would be applauded.
36:11But this isn't a business.
36:13It's the crown.
36:16And one has to ask oneself, what is the purpose of the crown?
36:21What is the purpose of the monarchy?
36:24Does the crown bend to the will of the people to be audited and accountable?
36:30Or should it remain above temporal matters?
36:38What say you?
36:43No, ma'am.
36:46What say you?
36:48The decision is yours to make.
36:52We will take our lead from you.
37:10I am also on it.
37:38We are just waiting for you.
37:39The future is what our mission is.
37:39We will take your lead.
37:54What is this? Hide and seek.
37:56I told you not to overstep the mark.
37:58And I made it clear, Carl Blanch, you're nothing at all.
38:00Trade unionists and businessmen in the Abbey.
38:03If you want to stay on the throne, yes.
38:04In a trim-down televised coronation.
38:07If you want to avoid a revolution, yes, you forget.
38:09I have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown because they're out of step
38:14with the people.
38:15I left Greece in an orange crate. My father would have been killed.
38:18My grandfather was. I'm just trying to protect you.
38:21From whom? The British people?
38:23You have no idea who they are or what they want.
38:26Oh, oh, I'm just Johnny Foreigner again, who doesn't understand.
38:29Fine, fine. You want a big, overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of the country is on rations?
38:34Have it. But don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of our children
38:39are on spikes.
38:40If the people are hungry, they want something that lifts them up.
38:43And how do you propose lifting them if they cannot see it?
38:47The people look to the monarchy for something bigger than themselves,
38:50an inspiration, a higher ideal.
38:53If you put it in their homes, allow them to watch it with their dinner on their own.
38:56They won't.
38:57Democratise it.
38:58Make them feel that they share in it.
39:00Understand it.
39:01All right.
39:03Right.
39:04I'll support you in the terrorizing.
39:09You won't regret it.
39:12On one condition.
39:16That you kneel.
39:30Who told you?
39:32My Prime Minister.
39:35He said you intended your refuge.
39:36No, I merely asked the question whether it was right in this day and age
39:39that the Queen's consort, her husband, should kneel to her rather than stand beside her.
39:45He won't be kneeling to me.
39:47That's not how it will look.
39:48That's not how it will feel.
39:50It will feel like a eunuch.
39:51An amoeba is kneeling before his wife.
39:53You'll be kneeling before God and the crown, as we all do.
39:56I don't see you kneeling before anyone.
39:57I'm not kneeling because I'm already flattened under the weight of this thing.
40:00Oh, spare me the false humility.
40:01It doesn't look like that to me.
40:02How does it look to you?
40:03It looks to me like you're enjoying it.
40:05It's released an unattractive sense of authority and entitlement that I have never seen before.
40:09And in you it's released a weakness, an insecurity I've never seen before.
40:12Are you my wife or my queen?
40:14I'm both.
40:15I want to be married to my wife.
40:17I am both, and a strong man will be able to kneel to both.
40:20I will not kneel before my wife.
40:21Your wife is not asking you to.
40:23But my queen commands me.
40:24Yes.
40:24I beg you make an exception for me.
40:31No.
40:31No.
40:33No.
40:44No.
40:48No.
40:49No.
41:20Come on, they'll be here soon.
41:26David, you're our host, darling.
41:32You're right there.
41:53All right, everyone.
41:55She's arriving.
41:57The dreaded gold stake coach.
42:01Made in the 1760s and the most uncomfortable ride known to man.
42:12Final checks, please, gentlemen.
42:15West door.
42:16West door, sir.
42:18Triforium.
42:18Triforium, standing by, sir.
42:21South transept.
42:22South transept, standing by, sir.
42:23Organs screen.
42:24Organs screen, standing by, sir.
42:26Triforium two.
42:27Triforium two, standing by, sir.
42:29Gentlemen.
42:31Three, two, one.
42:57Who's that?
42:58One.
42:59Oh.
43:00Uh-huh.
43:03Oh, it's Lord Mountbatten.
43:05The Duke of Edinburgh's uncle.
43:07The man that gave away India.
43:10And his own wife.
43:12Uncle the Pinarum, if you please.
43:15Ha-ha-ha!
43:19Two.
43:20Ha-ha-ha!
43:24Two.
43:25Five, four, in two.
43:26Hand left, please.
43:28Left.
43:44Praise forth, tell, come ye before him and rejoice.
44:06Moving forwards now, four knights of the garden, the Dukes of Wellington and Portland, the Earl Fortescue and the Bicount
44:13Allendale, bringing with them a golden canopy to shield Her Majesty from view during the most sacred of the coronation
44:20rituals, the anointing.
44:22In three, two, one.
44:32Oh, where'd she go?
44:36Now we come to the anointing.
44:41The single most holy, most solemn, most sacred moment.
44:48The entire service.
44:52So how come we don't get to see it?
44:56Because we are mortals.
44:59Oh, my dear.
45:26Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
45:29I am willing.
45:36Will you maintain and preserve this?
45:48Invariably.
45:52I will.
46:05I will.
46:10I will.
46:18With your hands anointed to his holy will.
46:40With thy breast anointed to his holy will.
46:52With thy head anointed to his holy will.
47:04As kings, priests and prophets were anointed, and as Solomon was anointed, king by Zadok the
47:25priest and Nathan the prophet, so be thou anointed, blessed, and consecrated queen over the peoples,
47:38whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern in the name of the Father, and of
47:52the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
47:58Amen.
48:01Amen.
48:13There are oils and oaths, orbs and scepters, symbol upon symbol, an unfathomable web of arcane mystery and liturgy, blurring
48:29so many lines, no clergyman or historian.
48:34Or lawyer could ever untangle any of it.
48:38It's crazy.
48:40On the contrary, it's perfectly sane.
48:43Who wants transparency when you can have magic?
48:48Who wants prose when you can have poetry?
48:53Pull away the veil.
48:55Pull away the veil, and what are you left with?
48:58An ordinary young woman of modest stability and little imagination.
49:06Wrap her up like this, anoint her with oil, and hey presto, what do you have?
49:15And God is.
49:21Say the Word of Christ, and lift her up like this,
49:50God save the Queen, God save the Queen, God save the Queen.
50:11And to think you turned all that down, that chance to be a God.
50:21I turned it down for something greater still.
50:34For love.
50:35For love.
50:35For love.
50:37For love.
50:38For love.
50:42For love.
50:50For love.
50:51For love.
50:55For love.
50:57For love.
50:59For love.
51:01For love.
51:02For love.
51:02For love.
51:19For love.
51:27I have Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to become your liege man of life and limb and of birth
51:34of worship.
51:35Faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of folks, so help
51:41me God.
51:42I will bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of people, so help me God.
52:12I will bear unto you.
52:42I will bear unto you.
52:46I will bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of people, so help me God.
