00:02:14That's not a proposal. I can't do that without my mother's permission.
00:02:18But I realise more than anything in the world, I want you to be my wife.
00:02:30That's a complete disaster.
00:02:32He is. Including the Prime Minister's claim that Saddam's apparently non-existent weapons could be deployed within 45 minutes.
00:02:40So the Scots cart will be there.
00:02:44Rest on the platform near the High Older.
00:02:53Good morning, gentlemen.
00:02:55Good morning, ma'am.
00:02:55Good morning.
00:02:56Your Majesty, the purpose of this meeting is,
00:03:00and I should say it's not because we have any reason to be fearful...
00:03:03Oh, get on with it, David.
00:03:05...that we might really step up our planning of Operation London Bridge.
00:03:10That's the code name for your funeral, ma'am.
00:03:13We know what it is, Edward.
00:03:15Is that really necessary?
00:03:17I recently got a clean bill of health, and in terms of age, I'm only...
00:03:2080.
00:03:21Yes, all right. Not quite.
00:03:23A matter of months.
00:03:25Simply for reasons of prudence and good order.
00:03:27Well, in which case, why not start with the Duke of Edinburgh?
00:03:30He's older than me.
00:03:31And statistically, men tend to die earlier.
00:03:34Well, that's true.
00:03:34And that's why we've been working on mine for years.
00:03:38Operation Forth Bridge.
00:03:40Oh.
00:03:40No, don't say that.
00:03:41Why?
00:03:42It's so sad.
00:03:44Oh, no.
00:03:46No, it's...
00:03:46I'm finding it all rather stimulating.
00:03:49You might, too.
00:03:51It's surprising what it all stirs up.
00:03:53Isn't it, Edward?
00:03:54So, with your permission, ma'am, can we make a start?
00:03:57Let's go.
00:04:16As a template, we've used the funeral of the late King George VI.
00:04:20We would call on an estimated 6,000 military personnel at the procession.
00:04:26A tri-service parade, embracing each of the armed services,
00:04:31alongside representatives from the 15 other Commonwealth realms.
00:04:36The gun carriage will be drawn by the sovereign's guard.
00:04:40They will march at the customary rhythm of certain places.
00:04:45The gun carriage will become a part of the same.
00:04:54At the same time of the 35th anniversary of the ihm.
00:05:01The man who defeated the name of the man.
00:05:01The man who defeated the john and the young people.
00:05:08The longer his life can be taken.
00:05:11The man who defeated the man.
00:05:11The man who defeated the man.
00:05:11The man who defeated the man.
00:07:12Do you remember when he first came to power?
00:07:14They took to the streets and cheered.
00:07:17Now they want to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:07:21Tony Blair has become Tony Blyer.
00:07:25One's reminded once again that the career of prime ministers is nasty, brutish and short.
00:07:31Except I gather he's no intention of stepping down.
00:07:33His ambition is to become the first Labour prime minister to win a third successive term.
00:07:38That's the thing.
00:07:40Once people get a taste of life at the top, they never want to leave.
00:07:43Is that right?
00:07:44They just want to keep...
00:07:46on and on.
00:07:48Yes.
00:07:49Anyway, I'm sure this is not why you've come to see me today.
00:07:53No.
00:08:01I've come to make a request I wish I'd made 30 years ago.
00:08:07to ask your blessing to marry Camilla.
00:08:15Can't say this has come out of the blue, Mummy.
00:08:18She and I have been in love now for 30 years.
00:08:23And every day of those 30 years, she has been heroic.
00:08:27You don't think ending her relationship with you once you'd married Diana would have been heroic?
00:08:33She did.
00:08:34Camilla is blameless in that regard.
00:08:36She always wanted to keep her marriage.
00:08:38Then why didn't she?
00:08:39Because her husband left.
00:08:41And why did he do that?
00:08:43Because he'd had enough, as I understand it, of reading about her adultery with you in the newspapers.
00:08:47You and I both know Andrew is no angel.
00:08:50He was seerily unfaithful himself.
00:08:52So, can we agree there's nothing heroic about any of this?
00:08:55For years and years, Camilla has suffered judgment and calumny and never, ever complained.
00:09:01Not once.
00:09:03That is heroic.
00:09:06Instead, she stayed silent and loyal to you and the Crown.
00:09:12But not a single thank you in return.
00:09:15A thank you?
00:09:16Yes, thank you.
00:09:17Not just for her discretion, but for loving and making happy the person who's next in line.
00:09:25That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:37What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:43He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50I've always said, Mummy, that you couldn't do the job without Papa by your side.
00:09:57That he's your strength and stay.
00:10:02And Camilla is my strength.
00:10:05And my stay.
00:10:08I couldn't do it without her.
00:10:11I will reflect on it.
00:10:14Take advice.
00:10:17And give you an answer soon.
00:10:42You'll probably be fine.
00:10:50You all have in front of you a first draft of the plans for London Bridge.
00:10:55Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:10:57Oh, yes.
00:10:58A little heavy at the moment, ma'am.
00:10:59But it will shrink down nicely as you begin to express your preferences.
00:11:03My preference would be a quiet service in Scotland, out of sight and over in 20 minutes.
00:11:09Perfectly understandable.
00:11:10But this is the funeral of what we expect to be the longest-serving monarch in history.
00:11:14People will want to celebrate your reign and mark the end of an era.
00:11:18Not just here, but all around the world.
00:11:20So, I'd like to start with the logistical contingencies depending upon where the, uh, forgive me, ma'am, the, uh,
00:11:28death actually occurs.
00:11:30If it's abroad, ma'am, or here in the United Kingdom.
00:11:34I shall do my best to keep it local.
00:11:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:11:39The first chapter is if the event occurs on a foreign tour.
00:11:45Please turn to page 10.
00:11:53Are you guys going to Harry Meade's birthday party?
00:11:56Definitely.
00:11:57When is it?
00:11:58Next week.
00:11:59Should be good.
00:12:00250 people going.
00:12:03Fancy dress.
00:12:04I hate fancy dress.
00:12:05You have to rent a costume, which invariably stinks of other people's BO.
00:12:09Fucking royal quack.
00:12:12Meet my brother.
00:12:13Life and soul.
00:12:15What's the theme?
00:12:17Colonials and natives.
00:12:18Then there's that.
00:12:21You think they could have picked a more offensive theme?
00:12:23Mate, you're such an undergraduate now.
00:12:25You'd have never said that before you went to uni.
00:12:27Now I am saying it.
00:12:28Cliche.
00:12:29That's me, Dad.
00:12:29I'm out.
00:12:30Fucking idiot.
00:12:31Come on, lad.
00:12:32You know, you can't fucking shoot me.
00:12:35Fuck you.
00:12:36Fuck the rest.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on, hold on.
00:12:39Hold on, hold on.
00:12:40Kick his ass.
00:12:42Fucking ass.
00:12:43Goose.
00:12:43Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses.
00:12:48I just had a call from the Queen's private secretary.
00:12:52Can you come down, please?
00:12:54It's never good when they come in packs.
00:12:59Yeah.
00:13:28Your Majesty.
00:13:29My Lord Bishops,
00:13:32I asked you all here today
00:13:34because the Prince of Wales
00:13:36has requested my permission
00:13:37to marry Mrs. Parker Bowles.
00:13:42And I think I'd like to grant it.
00:13:51And, of course,
00:13:52as head of the Church of England,
00:13:54that is your right.
00:13:57But it will not be straightforward.
00:13:59Or, one suspects, popular.
00:14:02Why?
00:14:03I was led to believe
00:14:05the General Synod
00:14:06had eased its stance
00:14:07on the marriage of divorcees.
00:14:08It has,
00:14:10but
00:14:11many people in this country
00:14:13still believe
00:14:14that the relationship
00:14:16between the Prince of Wales
00:14:17and Mrs. Parker Bowles
00:14:19was responsible
00:14:20for the breakdown
00:14:21of a royal marriage.
00:14:23The Church, I think,
00:14:26needs to be satisfied
00:14:27that permitting the new marriage
00:14:30would not, in effect,
00:14:32consecrate a past infidelity.
00:14:35For the Church of England
00:14:36to be seen to be blessing it
00:14:38could risk a split
00:14:40in the Anglican communion.
00:14:43One suggestion could be that,
00:14:45and I would be interested
00:14:47in hearing the Archbishop
00:14:49of Canterbury's view,
00:14:50that the Prince
00:14:51and Mrs. Parker Bowles
00:14:52marry in a civil ceremony
00:14:54and then have a Church blessing afterwards.
00:14:57In a registry office?
00:15:00In the eyes of the Church,
00:15:02no marriage service
00:15:02is more legitimate than another.
00:15:05It's more a question of signals.
00:15:07Appearances.
00:15:09A condition of the blessing
00:15:11could be some form of atonement.
00:15:15Quite so.
00:15:16Some acknowledgement of wrongdoing
00:15:19on the couple's part.
00:15:22Man, as she was.
00:15:24The service might include
00:15:26a prayer of penitence
00:15:27in which the couple join
00:15:30with the congregation
00:15:30in asking forgiveness
00:15:31for past...
00:15:34wickedness.
00:15:39I've always taken comfort
00:15:41in the knowledge
00:15:42that God retaineth
00:15:43not his anger forever
00:15:45because he delighteth
00:15:46in mercy.
00:15:49Whatever short-term risk
00:15:51the marriage may present
00:15:52to the integrity
00:15:53of the Church,
00:15:54one has to imagine
00:15:55it would do less damage
00:15:57than if I were to die.
00:15:59Well, it is going to happen
00:16:01one day
00:16:04and my heir
00:16:05acceded to the throne
00:16:07while living in sin.
00:16:24Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:26It was an incredible decision
00:16:29of his part.
00:16:30Your All Highnesses,
00:16:31Her Majesty,
00:16:31we'll see you now.
00:16:37Come on, hurry.
00:16:39Hurry.
00:16:50Granny.
00:16:52Thank you both for coming.
00:16:54Now, I need some air.
00:16:56Would you be very cross
00:16:58if I suggest we go for a walk?
00:17:11I'd like to discuss
00:17:12your dear papa.
00:17:14What's he done now?
00:17:15Nothing he's done.
00:17:18It's what he wants to do.
00:17:22How would you both feel
00:17:24about him getting married?
00:17:26I knew it.
00:17:28Why can't they just
00:17:29carry on as they are?
00:17:30Because Charles
00:17:30would be king one day.
00:17:32The last time we had
00:17:33an unmarried king
00:17:34on the throne,
00:17:34it did not end well.
00:17:36Yeah, but was he...
00:17:39Obviously,
00:17:40both of us prefer
00:17:41to think of him with mummy.
00:17:43And anything other than that
00:17:46feels...
00:17:46Wrong.
00:17:47So wrong.
00:17:49But I suppose
00:17:51this is the reality.
00:17:53And she does seem
00:17:54to make him happy.
00:17:57Does she?
00:17:59And having him happy
00:18:00and settled is good for us.
00:18:04And ultimately,
00:18:05good for...
00:18:06Good for?
00:18:07Well, as you say,
00:18:08he is going to be king.
00:18:10Isn't he, one day?
00:18:14Yes.
00:18:14Plus, then he might
00:18:15finally shut up about it all.
00:18:19So...
00:18:22Is that a yes?
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:28I didn't want to give
00:18:29my blessing
00:18:30until you'd given yours.
00:18:36Yes, good.
00:18:44Yes?
00:18:47Yes, of course.
00:18:48It's the queen.
00:18:50You're wrong,
00:18:50my highness.
00:18:51My highness.
00:18:52Yes, put her through, please.
00:19:02Mummy.
00:19:08I can't believe you
00:19:09caved like that.
00:19:10I didn't cave.
00:19:11I'm just being a realist.
00:19:12I'm changing your tune.
00:19:13I'm not saying what you feel.
00:19:14That's what being a realist is.
00:19:15You're such a fucking company, man.
00:19:17I'm just trying to be an adult.
00:19:19I don't expect you
00:19:20to understand
00:19:21what that feels like.
00:19:24Congratulations.
00:19:28Thank you, mummy.
00:19:36It's done.
00:21:07That's a relief.
00:21:09They supported the idea of the marriage.
00:21:12Slightly through gritted teeth.
00:21:16Harry's more gritted than William's.
00:21:19I'm not surprised.
00:21:22I worry about Harry.
00:21:25We all do.
00:21:27Sometime in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted, all this talk of my funeral has stirred things up a bit.
00:21:47Anything you want to discuss?
00:21:50Not yet.
00:21:58Well, in that case, good night.
00:22:02Good night.
00:22:03All right.
00:22:35Wait.

00:26:46What's that got to do with colonials and nature?
00:26:48Good point.
00:26:50Germany had an empire, didn't they?
00:26:52What about this?
00:26:54I don't know.
00:26:55Maybe cover the swastika?
00:26:56Oh, come on.
00:26:57Wearing the outfit doesn't make him a Nazi.
00:27:00Isn't that the joke?
00:27:00How about that wedding dress for you?
00:27:03Come on.
00:27:05Don't pretend you haven't already thought about it.
00:27:09Thanks, Harry.
00:27:10Nice touch.
00:27:11Your brother.
00:27:12Yeah.
00:27:13Where's God?
00:27:14Oh, you're gone.
00:27:18Hello.

00:27:42Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:44That's incredible.
00:27:453 to 5, you know?
00:27:48What do you do?
00:27:49What am I doing?
00:27:50I'm being fat.
00:27:52I'm being fat.
00:27:53I'm being fat.
00:27:55What are you doing?
00:27:56Guy, guy
00:27:59So you're going up into the stage
00:28:01Excuse me
00:28:05Yes
00:28:08Oh my god
00:28:12I want to be free
00:28:17I want to be free
00:28:21I want to break free from your lies
00:28:24You're so satisfied that I'm here
00:28:29I want to be free
00:28:31I want to be free
00:28:33Yeah
00:28:34Yeah
00:28:40Hey

00:29:46Oh, shit.
00:29:59Oh, Harry.
00:30:07Fuck!
00:30:09Fuck!
00:30:12Fuck!
00:30:15Fuck.
00:30:15Fuck.
00:30:17I was a troublemaker at school.
00:30:20Repeatedly caned by my housemaster.
00:30:23Six of the best.
00:30:25We all make mistakes in the flashes of youth.
00:30:28Rarely as gross a misjudgment as this.
00:30:31Swastika armband two weeks before Holocaust Memorial Day.
00:30:36There's a great deal of affection in the country for Harry.
00:30:40An apology followed by a period of contrition should pave the way for forgiveness.
00:30:48Is that the advice you'll be giving yourself over Iraq?
00:30:53I think we can agree things are not working out too well over there.
00:30:58My hope is that the democratic elections scheduled for the end of this month will form the beginnings of an
00:31:05exit strategy that should allow us to close this chapter and move on.
00:31:15Well, that's a subject that's been coming up a lot recently.
00:31:33Well, you've got to thread it through.
00:31:37No, thread...
00:31:39It's all right.
00:31:40I think...
00:31:40I remember.
00:31:41I remember.
00:31:50I'm pretty sure if you危ett.
00:31:54That's it.
00:31:57No, why haven't i gone through?
00:31:59It's meant to go on this here.
00:32:01And it hasn't.
00:32:02I've taken that out.
00:32:04Stop that.
00:32:06Oh no.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:10Oh, bingo.
00:32:16Oh, good.
00:35:22Oh, there you are.
00:35:24Yes, here I still am.
00:35:26No breakfast.
00:35:28Wasn't hungry.
00:35:29Not like you.
00:35:48How was Harry?
00:35:50How was Harry?
00:35:58You're a testament.
00:35:59I agree.
00:36:02Harry was foolish to go to that party dressed in that costume, but he was bloody unlucky
00:36:08that a fellow guest should go to the newspapers like that.
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:13Yes.
00:36:13So I phoned the costume rental shop, gave him a piece of my mind.
00:36:18Why?
00:36:19What will it take to get you to understand?
00:36:22Should I draw it in sodding crayon?
00:36:24What?
00:36:26The uniform was inaccurate.
00:36:29The German African Corps never wore swastikas.
00:36:35A fact I impressed upon the sandhurst top brass, who happily agreed this latest episode should
00:36:43not prevent Harry entering officer training.
00:36:46Oh, well done.
00:36:47To ban him would be madness.
00:36:49Hmm.
00:36:50And would only exacerbate the real problem.
00:36:53Which is?
00:36:54A lack of a sense of purpose.
00:36:56Due to a failure of responsible parenting.
00:37:02Yes.
00:37:06Do you want to discuss anything before I go?
00:37:09About what?
00:37:11Well, the funeral.
00:37:13But it might have stirred up for you.
00:37:16No.
00:37:18Right.
00:37:19Well, I'll be off.
00:37:22Duty calls.
00:37:25Ah.
00:37:35You coward.
00:37:37Why didn't you tell him?
00:37:41What you've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral.
00:37:45In fact, since the golden jubilee.
00:37:49How tired.
00:37:50No, not just tired.
00:37:52Exhausted you are by it all.
00:37:56Years.
00:38:01How ready for a rest.
00:38:04And at the same time, how ready he suddenly looks.
00:38:09Who?
00:38:11Charles.
00:38:14Oh.
00:38:15Him.
00:38:16Yes.
00:38:28You even have precedent.
00:38:30Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in favor of her daughter.
00:38:35Charlotte of Luxembourg was also in her late 60s.
00:38:37That's the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
00:38:39Bicycle monarchies.
00:38:40Not the same thing at all.
00:38:41It's exactly the same thing.
00:38:42And in both cases, a great success.
00:38:49You've been on the throne for over half a century.
00:38:52That's longer than any other queen.
00:38:53Apart from Queen Victoria.
00:38:54How effective was she by the end?
00:38:57Rheumatic and blind.
00:38:58Weak and unwell.
00:38:59Hidden away on the Isle of Wight.
00:39:01You're almost 80 years old.
00:39:03So everyone keeps reminding me.
00:39:05Well, that's nearly 20 years past the retirement age for women.
00:39:08No need to go on.
00:39:09That's what I'm saying.
00:39:11No need to go on.
00:39:14Your first loyalty has always been to the crown.
00:39:17Sometimes at the expense of being a mother.
00:39:22Stepping down is the right thing to do.
00:39:26As queen and as a mother.
00:39:27Yes.
00:39:28Lo duUM.
00:39:28OK.
00:39:42It's better at school.
00:40:06everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding
00:40:109th of april at the guild hall in windsor
00:40:14we also felt given your role as head of the church of england and the church's
00:40:19position that marriage is a lifelong commitment that it would be wrong for you
00:40:24to attend the ceremony in person the idea being you can watch the coverage on
00:40:29television and and then join everyone for the service at st george's chapel and
00:40:34the reception at windsor castle has the prime minister been invited to the
00:40:42reception yes ma'am and the leader of the opposition yes and the archbishop of
00:40:48canterbury yes and there will be an opportunity for me to say a few words
00:40:54oh I'm sure everyone would would be delighted would you like me to draft
00:40:59something that won't be necessary I'll write something myself that's all thank
00:41:19you for the uniform in the question shot egging me on now suddenly your mr. morality
00:41:24oh okay right stabbing me in the back ladies and gentlemen of the jury how many faces does this
00:41:29man you know i'm not sure i like you're turning into and i'm not sure i like you've been on
00:41:32you
00:41:32stop bickering please i beg you how was supper well i'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant
00:41:41boys were snapping at each other well that's just boys can i just make one
00:41:46request that you don't make my wedding day a misery
00:41:51i've waited too long for it yes but you didn't witness it it was horrid how they were to each
00:41:58other vicious and unkind they're young riding the waves of emotion which is understandable after
00:42:05what they've been through are they going to blame me do you think and hold me responsible for the way
00:42:12they've turned out well being their father you are responsible for making it better
00:42:20as soon as they're through tomorrow everything will be fine
00:42:25well i do hope so how are you me i'm all right
00:42:32my sister persuaded me to get a fake tan so now i smell like the dog's blanket
00:42:42are you having any last minute doubts not me i'm in
00:42:50for all of it for whatever being married to you turns out to be
00:42:56well you might find out what that entails sooner than you imagine what's that supposed to mean
00:43:04i've been told that the queen intends to make a speech at the reception afterwards
00:43:08a speech which nobody has seen and which she's um written herself
00:43:16it feels like she's planning a big announcement
00:43:22my father met with anne to ask what she thought was in it but she's as baffled as the rest
00:43:27of us
00:43:28then anne rang andrew and he went riding with the queen but you know andrew drew a complete blank
00:43:37so if her intention was to set tongues wagging she certainly succeeded
00:43:44she did not give it any further thought yes just think about the boys thank you darling
00:43:52so if you don't know what's weird
00:44:21Yeah.
00:44:24When he overcompensates like that,
00:44:27this could be an exciting new chapter for us all.
00:44:32Bath.
00:44:33A few years ago, it would have pissed me off.
00:44:37Now I just don't care.
00:44:44I heard Granny's going to make a speech at the wedding.
00:44:47Would you like to know what else I had?
00:44:52That she's going to use the occasion to tell the family
00:44:55she's standing down after 50 years in the job.
00:44:58She'd never do that.
00:45:00And even if she did, why on Pa's big day?
00:45:02Because it's the wedding present he most wants.
00:45:07He does want it, doesn't he?
00:45:09Craves it.
00:45:12For him and for Camilla.
00:45:18If she did, you know what else it would mean?
00:45:21It would be you next.
00:45:24That would make you William the...
00:45:26Fifth.
00:45:27Better than second.
00:45:29He was assassinated by his brother.
00:45:31Was he?
00:45:32Who would you believe was also called Prince Harry?
00:45:36He had William killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to Winchester to claim the throne for himself.
00:45:44Don't worry, mate.
00:45:45I wouldn't do that to you.
00:46:01Really?
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:06It's all good.
00:46:07It's all good.
00:46:38I'm a white bottle.
00:46:41You boys?
00:47:33I'm a white bottle.
00:47:57I'm a white bottle.
00:48:11I don't know what you think you're doing.
00:48:14I'm doing the sensible thing.
00:48:16The responsible thing.
00:48:19We're not careful.
00:48:20If I go on another 20, 25 years,
00:48:23a tired, white-haired, geriatric queen
00:48:26will hand over to a tired, white-haired, geriatric Prince of Wales.
00:48:30Those are the rules.
00:48:32But if he were then to go on another 20, 25 years,
00:48:36it would mean that for the next half century,
00:48:38the British monarchy would be a very decrepit experience indeed.
00:48:42Is that the right thing to do to the institution?
00:48:45Charles is in the prime of his life now.
00:48:48Honestly, I've never heard so much nonsense.
00:48:50Have you forgotten the oath that you took?
00:48:53I declare before you all that my whole life,
00:48:56whether it be long or short,
00:48:57shall be devoted to your service.
00:48:59You're fit enough to ride and drive,
00:49:01so you're fit enough to wear the crown.
00:49:03You remember what Queen Mary told you?
00:49:08Another geriatric.
00:49:12Monarchy is something you are, not what you do.
00:49:15The crown is a symbol of permanence,
00:49:17of stability, of continuity.
00:49:19If you step down,
00:49:20you will be symbolizing instability and impermanence.
00:49:25You'll also be indicating the luxury of choice,
00:49:28which is the one thing we cannot have
00:49:30if we claim the crown is also our birthright.
00:49:33So you would have a superannuated old lady running the show
00:49:35while a fit, energetic Prince of Wales watches on,
00:49:39and straining at the leash.
00:49:40But I don't see you as decrepit.
00:49:43Since the Jubilee, since Mummy's death,
00:49:45I see you as liberated.
00:49:48Confident.
00:49:50You say that Charles is in his prime.
00:49:52Well, I see you in yours.
00:49:58And admit it.
00:50:01You sometimes think there's a difference
00:50:03between you and the rest of the family.
00:50:09Yes.
00:50:11It comes naturally to you.
00:50:15They all seem to make such a mess of it.
00:50:18I didn't say that.
00:50:22No, but you've thought it.
00:50:24Privately.
00:50:27And with good reason.
00:50:31This system is a dreadful thing to inflict upon people.
00:50:35It's not natural.
00:50:37It's not fair.
00:50:39It's not kind.
00:50:42But you seem to thrive in it.
00:50:46And more importantly,
00:50:47it seems to thrive under you.
00:50:52So shouldn't you stay
00:50:53for every single day that you can?
00:51:00But what about the life I put aside?
00:51:06The woman I put aside
00:51:10when I became queen.
00:51:16What sort of question is that?
00:51:19For years now,
00:51:20there has been just one Elizabeth.
00:51:24Queen Elizabeth.
00:51:30If you weren't looking for Elizabeth Windsor,
00:51:33you wouldn't find her.
00:51:37She's gone.
00:51:40Long gone.
00:51:43You buried her years ago.
00:52:03And here they are,
00:52:04his royal highness,
00:52:05the Prince of Wales,
00:52:06and her royal highness,
00:52:07the Duchess of Cornwall,
00:52:09facing the public for the first time
00:52:11as man and wife.
00:52:13No fairy tale kiss
00:52:14from the happy couple
00:52:15for the onlookers.
00:52:16Instead, smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Ready?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:31There's some...
00:52:33a speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers
00:52:39in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:42Are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure.
00:52:50Come on.
00:52:53Praise, my soul,
00:52:56the hill of heaven.
00:53:01To his feet
00:53:13Almighty God,
00:53:15Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:53:19maker of all things,
00:53:20judge of all men,
00:53:23we acknowledge and bewail
00:53:25our manifold sins and wickedness,
00:53:27which we,
00:53:29which we, from time to time,
00:53:30most grievously have committed
00:53:31by thought, word, and deed
00:53:34against thy divine majesty,
00:53:37provoking most justly
00:53:38thy wrath and indignation against us.
00:53:42We do earnestly repent
00:53:44and are heartily sorry
00:53:46for these our misdoings.
00:53:48The remembrance of them
00:53:50is grievous unto us.
00:53:51The burden of them
00:53:52is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us,
00:53:57have mercy upon us,
00:53:58most merciful Father.
00:54:00Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:02Grant that we may ever hereafter
00:54:05serve and please thee
00:54:06in newness of life,
00:54:08in the honor and glory
00:54:10of thy name.
00:54:12Amen.
00:54:13Amen.
00:54:15Amen.
00:54:36You're all right.
00:54:37I'm sorry.
00:54:39I cut.
00:54:39I cut.
00:54:53I'm ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:10May silence for Her Majesty
00:55:11the Queen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start
00:55:31these things with an introduction.
00:55:34For those of you who don't know me,
00:55:36I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:44Today has been a memorable day
00:55:46with a single happy event
00:55:49bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase
00:55:54finished 20 minutes ago
00:55:55and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter,
00:55:58the 7-to-1 favorite,
00:55:59ridden by Ruby Walsh,
00:56:01trained by Willie Mullins,
00:56:03won the race by 14 lengths.
00:56:05Royal Leclerc finished second,
00:56:06simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news,
00:56:12there is a small family wedding
00:56:14in the Windsor area
00:56:16which the police are keeping their eyes on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead
00:56:21said he was hoping
00:56:22that displays of excessive exuberance
00:56:24would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:32Almost 650 years ago,
00:56:35the chapel at Windsor
00:56:36played host to the wedding
00:56:37of another Prince of Wales,
00:56:40Edward,
00:56:41the Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward
00:56:44was widely expected
00:56:45to marry a European princess,
00:56:46but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:49He set his heart
00:56:50on a woman he had known
00:56:51his whole life,
00:56:53slightly his senior,
00:56:55a mother
00:56:56who had previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued
00:57:01was a devoted,
00:57:04loving marriage
00:57:04that would last
00:57:05their whole lives.
00:57:10Charles,
00:57:12I know that over the years
00:57:14it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales
00:57:18is hardly a recipe for happiness.
00:57:19History has taught us that.
00:57:21To be condemned,
00:57:23to watch an old parent
00:57:24do a job
00:57:25one can imagine oneself
00:57:26doing better
00:57:27for years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit
00:57:33that you have filled
00:57:35this vacuum,
00:57:36not like several predecessors
00:57:39with idleness
00:57:40and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell
00:57:44of activity
00:57:45and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now,
00:57:59a word of thanks
00:58:01to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy
00:58:04for you either
00:58:05over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer
00:58:09and warm humanity
00:58:11work wonderfully
00:58:12in your favour.
00:58:14both as a strength
00:58:16and stay
00:58:17for the Prince of Wales
00:58:21and as an addition
00:58:23to this family.
00:58:24Thank you
00:58:26for your patience
00:58:28and forbearance.
00:58:31So now,
00:58:33will you all raise
00:58:33your glasses
00:58:34to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:54get you!
00:58:57Oi!
00:59:07Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:11Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14You sure you didn't forget half of it?
00:59:16I don't know what you're talking about.
00:59:21What do you think?
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:25It's better than the beer cans Harold wanted to tie to the bumper.
00:59:30Be kind to him.
00:59:33In many ways, it's harder being number two than number one.
00:59:37The system protects, number one.
00:59:41Number two tends to...
00:59:43Go bad?
00:59:44I was going to say, need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah, photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:57Let's go inside, come on.
01:00:01Very good.
01:00:04Come on.
01:00:05Your Royal Highnesses.
01:00:06Your Royal Highnesses.
01:00:08Your future Majesty.
01:00:13Your Royal Highnesses, thank you very much.
01:00:16Ladies and gentlemen, tutti.
01:00:18Come on, come on.
01:00:21Girls.
01:00:22If you're gonna have them, keep them down.
01:00:24And shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:37Charles.
01:00:38Charles.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:41Harry.
01:00:43We're ready for you, Your Majesty.
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake, get out of the way.
01:00:48This way, please, everyone.
01:00:50Come on.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:00:59For God's sake, take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Yeah.
01:01:03All right.
01:01:04I've got to go.
01:01:04Wait a minute.
01:01:05Oh, God.
01:01:07All's well that ends well.
01:01:10Still, it defines the crown.
01:01:12Oh, Jesus Christ.
01:01:14What e'er the course, the end is the renown.
01:01:19There you go.
01:01:20That's it.
01:01:21All right.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way, please.
01:01:30This way, the lawn, please.
01:01:35Well, that was a surprise.
01:01:53Let's go, let's go.
01:02:10Ah.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:19Huh.
01:02:24Good day, I think.
01:02:26Oh, yes.
01:02:27I had the winner on three of the four races at Aintree.
01:02:30How are you planning on celebrating?
01:02:32Oh, night on the town?
01:02:35Joyriding, ramraiding?
01:02:36Give Chief Constable Dead something to worry about after all?
01:02:40Well done with the speech.
01:02:43It's funny.
01:02:44Don't sound so surprised.
01:02:47And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:51Yes.
01:02:53But the right decision has been made.
01:02:56You will continue as queen for as long as you possibly can, for one reason.
01:03:02Because those are the rules.
01:03:04No.
01:03:04Because those that come after you are not remotely ready to take over.
01:03:10No, but I wasn't either.
01:03:12Remember, I was so young.
01:03:13No, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:19You are one of a kind.
01:03:22By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:29The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:33This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:40We'll never hear the screams from inside there.
01:03:44Philip.
01:03:45What?
01:03:46You know I'm right.
01:03:49The system makes no sense anymore to those outside it, nor to those of us inside it.
01:03:59All human things are subject to decay, and when fate summons, even monarchs must obey.
01:04:12We're a dying breed, you and I.
01:04:16Oh, I'm sure everyone will carry on pretending all is well.
01:04:21But the party's over.
01:04:25The good news is that while Rome burns and the temple falls, we will sleep, dearie sleep.
01:04:37Oh, you looked.
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:44A piper's lament.
01:04:47Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:52And your coffin being driven in an old Land Rover is very you.
01:04:57Oh, you looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:09Well, I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:06:00I'll leave you to it.
