00:25At John Brown's yard on Clydeside,
00:27the 4,000-ton Royal Yacht is ready for launching by Her Majesty.
00:37Thousands of dock workers, many of whom helped to build the Royal Craft,
00:40give the Queen a warm reception as she walks past them to inspect the yacht.
00:44For many months, there has been speculation about the name of the new yacht,
00:48and there's an air of expectancy as Her Majesty steps forward
00:51to perform the actual launching ceremony.
00:57I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today,
01:01for the launch of this, the latest Royal Yacht.
01:05I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new Queen,
01:12will prove to be dependable and constant,
01:16capable of weathering any storm.
01:19I now take great pride in naming this ship Britannia.
01:30I wish success to her, and to all who sail in her.
01:36Her Majesty releases the traditional bottle,
01:39not of champagne this time, but of empire wine.
01:50Soon, the Britannia will become a home for the Queen,
01:53the Duke and their children.
02:09Ah, please, Your Majesty.
02:11Ah.
02:13And again.
02:15Ah.
02:17Lovely. Thank you.
02:29Deep breath in.
02:31And out.
02:34And again.
02:44122 over 80.
02:52And if we could just pop the stockings off, Your Majesty.
02:58Still getting the aches on the balls of the feet?
03:02I'm at the risk of sounding like a broken record.
03:05The less time you spend on your feet, the better.
03:08Occupational hazard, I'm afraid.
03:10Now, if I can invite you to come this way.
03:23Nine and a half stone, as opposed to last year's...
03:26Not sure I want to know.
03:27Nine stone.
03:28And the year befores?
03:30Eight and three quarters.
03:32It makes no sense.
03:34In terms of diet and behaviour, I've not changed a thing.
03:37As we get older, weight stays on, and it's harder to shift.
03:40For men, they say a stone a decade.
03:42And for women?
03:44Maybe half a stone.
03:46All right. Half a stone by the end of summer.
03:51Scotland, as always?
03:52Oh, yes. Heavenly Scotland.
03:54Though slightly less heavenly without the cream teas.
03:56Is Balmoral your favourite home, would you say?
04:00Probably my second.
04:05That's a rather personal question.
04:08I do apologise, Mamma.
04:12I don't know what I was thinking.
04:14There is another.
04:16That's even more special to me.
04:19I don't know what I was thinking.
04:22I'm sorry.
04:24I'm sorry.
04:28I'm sorry.
04:31I'm sorry.
04:33I'm sorry.
04:36You're just a bit on a line.
04:38I'm sorry.
04:39No, I'm sorry.
04:43No, I'm sorry.
04:47I'm sorry.
04:47from the Sunday Times today, sir,
04:49regarding a poll they've conducted about the monarchy.
04:52And it's interesting.
04:53When talking about the Queen,
04:55again and again, the same words came up.
04:58Irrelevant, old, expensive, out of touch.
05:02Quite distinct from the way people talked about you, sir.
05:04Really?
05:06Should I cover my ears?
05:08No, on the contrary.
05:09They described you as young, energetic, modern, empathetic.
05:15And when asked, almost half believe you would make an excellent king
05:18and would support an early application by the Queen in your favour.
05:25And the story is running when?
05:28Sunday week, sir.
05:30When I'll be in Italy with the family.
05:32Well, actually, we think the timing of the holiday is ideal.
05:35As you know, a big part of your appeal as future king
05:38is the prospect of the Princess of Wales as Queen.
05:41Yes.
05:42So we've taken the liberty of briefing one or two friendly newspapers
05:45that it's a second honeymoon.
05:51Right.
06:08That's what they said.
06:10Those are the words they used.
06:12Second honeymoon.
06:15Second honeymoon.
06:16Thirdaneously.
06:31Fourth honeymoon.
06:32Third honeymoon.
06:32Fourth honeymoon.
06:35Second honeymoon.
06:37Third honeymoon.
06:39Third honeymoon.
06:39Higher honeymoon.
06:43Third warranty.

11:25beaches along the way and water sports and noisy water sports and shopping

14:18dairy complex is testament to the continuing
14:22vitality of british others
14:26it has been a great pleasure to learn more about intermodal containers representing a great 30 percent of the european
14:35rate market it is clear that intermodal containers are languishes ticket to a bright future
14:47the

14:52the
14:53the
14:53the
14:53the
14:55the
15:05How long has the pressure been down on that ground?
15:08Since this morning, sir.
15:22It shouldn't come as a surprise she's falling apart.
15:25She's a creature of another age.
15:28Effectively a World War II cruiser with soft furnishings.
15:32In many ways, she's obsolete.
15:34Don't say that.
15:36What are the options?
15:38Well, trouble with the main engine.
15:40Stubborn boilers out of service.
15:43Sentimentally, I think we'd all prefer to stick with her.
15:47I should say.
15:48But we have to be realistic about the cost of repairs
15:51when she's so obviously past her best.
15:55Are you seeing the Prime Minister in Balmoral next week?
15:58Yes.
15:58He's coming with his wife, Dora.
16:01No, that's not right.
16:03Nora.
16:05Norma.
16:06Well, you might want to bring it up with him then.
16:08I'll talk to the Admiral and come up with some figures.
16:11But it's the first time I've started to consider the unthinkable.
16:15What's that?
16:17A replacement.
16:20Built in AD 27 by Tiberius.
16:26The most magnificent of world imperial residencies here in Capri.
16:34Some people say that Tiberius escaped to Capri
16:37because he could no longer endure the machinations of his mother's court in Rome.
16:41Not something I could ever understand.
16:44But after a long, successful career as a general...
16:59Bye, Charles.
17:01We'll miss you while we're having all the fun.
17:07It's an extraordinary how two people's understanding of fun
17:10could be so wholly different.
17:20When they suggested to us, Diana and I,
17:24that we should reassure the public about the strength of our marriage
17:28by coming on a second honeymoon,
17:31I said to them, you obviously weren't at the first one.
17:34On Britannia, wasn't it?
17:36Yes.
17:37I know the Queen thinks the royal yacht is perfect in every way,
17:40but as an intimate space for newlyweds,
17:43it's like a floating observation tank.
17:49Every awkward silence,
17:52stilted conversation between bride and glue,
17:55glaringly obvious to each and every one of the 200,
17:58glaringly obvious to each other.
17:59It's the last time.
18:03It's the last time.
18:04Did you just say bride and glue?
18:10Did I?
18:17The irony is, I'm the only person this marriage does make gloomy.
18:21It seems to lift the rest of the world up.
18:26When we're together in public, I can't deny it is magical, the perfect team, yet in private.
18:39Listen to me, after everything you've been through with your girl.
18:47She let me comb her hair last week. First time since it's grown back.
18:52Do you know it's come back curly?
18:56I found myself slightly ashamed to think I actually prefer it that way.
19:03It's a dreadful, wicked disease.
19:08You've all been so wonderfully strong.
19:14Is it important?
19:15The Sunday time, sir?
19:18Oh, yes.
19:20I'll leave you to it.
19:25It's running tomorrow. I've managed to gain advance sight of it, and I think you'll agree it's pretty punchy.
19:47Good morning, Your Majesty.
19:49Good morning, Peggy.
19:52Oh, a bit wet for the arrival of the Princess Royal.
19:56Oh, she won't mind this.
20:03Good morning, Your Majesty.
20:08Good morning, Your Majesty.
20:10Good morning, Your Majesty.
20:24Fellas?
20:25Robert.
20:25Got a bit of a problem.
20:32Have the newspapers been delivered?
20:33Just arrived, sir.
20:35Has the Queen gone to breakfast?
20:36On her way, sir.
20:38Make sure the Sunday Times is removed.
20:40Better still, thrown away.
20:41Under no circumstances can the Queen or the Princess Royal be allowed to see it.
20:45Understood?
20:46Sir.
20:48Good.
20:49Five and four.
20:50Right, sir.
20:51Sir.
21:02Good morning, Your Majesty.
21:05You're at this effect.
21:08Move!
21:12Hello, darling.
21:13Mummy.
21:20Sorry, ma'am.
21:21You can't breathe that.
21:23Why not?
21:24It's not today's.
21:26It's yesterday's.
21:26But yesterday was Saturday, and that, I think we can all agree, is the Sunday Times.
21:32I mean last week's.
21:33What?
21:33But this is today's Sunday Telegraph, today's Mail on Sunday, and the latest Racing Post.
21:38Oh, yes, please.
22:05Yes?
22:08I'm sorry to disturb, sir.
22:12But I thought you should be aware of this.
22:22It's outrageous.
22:24She never stops.
22:25She never complains.
22:26She never puts a foot wrong.
22:28She's utterly magnificent, and they print rubbish like this.
22:32Looks like more rain on the way.
22:34I shouldn't be surprised.
22:36It is the west coast of Scotland.
22:38I suppose you've seen the Sunday Times.
22:41Oh.
22:41Morning, Robert.
22:42Good morning, Your Majesty.
22:44Because I checked.
22:45Apparently it has been delivered.
22:48I'll look into it, ma'am.
22:49When you find it, I'll be on deck.
23:06Well, to say the article has had an impact would be an understatement.
23:10It's provoked significant debate on radio and television, with one particular phrase getting
23:15most attention.
23:16Queen Victoria's syndrome.
23:18Yes, I saw that.
23:23An aging monarch, too long on the throne, whose remoteness from the modern world has led people
23:29to grow tired not just of her, but of the monarchy itself.
23:36Any reaction from the Queen?
23:38My understanding is she hasn't seen it.
23:40That they've kept it from her to protect her feelings.
23:45Doesn't that tell you everything?
23:51I'd like you to arrange a meeting with the Prime Minister as soon as we're back.
23:57You'll think of her.
23:58A suitable pretext.
24:06Look!
24:07It's a whale!
24:08Where?
24:11Oh, good spot!
24:14Come back.
24:15No.
24:16Look at the way it's surfacing.
24:18It's a minky.
24:19Probably smell it before we see it again if we get any closer.
24:22Their blow smells of rotten cabbages.
24:24A stinky minky.
24:33Oh!
24:34There she is!
24:36Ladder!
24:38There.
24:42Oh, yes!
24:44Like a bulrush out of a pond.
24:47Isn't she a beauty?
24:49You say so, dear.
24:53It's one of the last manned lighthouses in Scotland.
24:58Why don't we pay her a visit?
24:59Really?
25:00Must we?
25:01Come on.
25:02A bit of exercise is good for the figure.
25:03At our age, the weight does not stay off by itself.
25:06Come on.
25:06No.
25:08No, no.
25:17Do you.
25:18No.
25:20No.
25:21No.
25:23No.
25:23No.
25:25No.
25:26No.
25:27No.
25:28No.
25:29No.
25:31No.
25:33No.
25:38People wonder why I find lighthouses so inspiring when you get to a place like this.
25:55New inquiry?
25:57Tim?
25:58No, he's been with us for a while.
26:02What come I never noticed?
26:06Because you're married.
26:08Are you technically?
26:12What's he like?
26:16Reliable, sensible, agreeable.
26:20I think we ought to get back to lighthouses.
26:25Those beacons of light in an otherwise black and hopeless night.
26:30But reassure the lonely mariner they are not forgotten.
26:34And we'll soon find land and home.
26:38And hope.
26:56It appears there has to be an unfortunate curtailment to the holiday.
27:01Clash of diaries, I understand.
27:03The Prince of Wales is due to give a lecture at the university.
27:10What's this about us going home?
27:13It turns out there's a diary conflict through no fault of mine and I have to get back.
27:20You're supposed to be here for two weeks.
27:21Yes, I know.
27:22Don't ever.
27:23The plans change.
27:25I have a commitment at Oxford University.
27:27It isn't the university.
27:30It's a summer school for tourists.
27:31It's not essential.
27:32It is to me.
27:36This is our holiday.
27:39It's a rare opportunity for us to be together with the boys as a family.
27:42And I know you struggle with that sort of thing, which is why I agreed to you bringing your friends
27:46along to entertain you.
27:48And I even agreed to do the photo call today, requested by your people so the lie could be paraded
27:52to the world's media about what an adoring husband you are on one condition.
27:55What's that?
27:56That you actually are one!
28:31What's that?
28:34What are they looking for?
28:42Let's go!
29:12Let's go!
29:35Tens of thousands of British families.
29:38Repossessions are now at record levels.
29:40In the first half of this year, 36,600 homes were taken over by building societies.
29:53I think there's a case for saying it's the most difficult economic recession since the war.
29:58And it has struck right across the economy.
30:01It's certainly been a very difficult year.
30:06The Prime Minister, Your Royal Highness.
30:14So kind of you should come.
30:16Sir.
30:20Before we begin, I wonder, did your office let anyone at Buckingham Palace know that we were meeting?
30:25I don't believe so, sir.
30:27Probably for the best.
30:36There are two reasons I asked if I could see you today.
30:40The first, conserving our built heritage.
30:44I wonder, did you receive the copy of my book?
30:46I did.
30:48I don't suppose you found time to flick through it.
30:50Knowing we were meeting today, I made a point of it.
30:53Reading it, I'm sure you thought, what an old fogey.
30:58How stuck in the past he is with his loathing of modernism and change.
31:04Not at all.
31:05Why?
31:08You'd have been right to.
31:09I am fixated by the past.
31:12By tradition.
31:14Preserving it.
31:16Conserving it.
31:17But none of us is exclusively one thing.
31:19Human beings are too interesting for that.
31:22You yourself are full of fascinating contradictions.
31:25Sir?
31:26Coming from Brixton, a multicultural working class part of London, one might have expected
31:31you either to have concealed your past in order to fit in with the Tories, or to have
31:36a more socialist viewpoint and become a rising star in the Labour Party.
31:40I have never felt that because of my background I should not be a conservative.
31:45Precisely.
31:46You not only refuse to deny your contradictions, you don't see them as contradictions.
31:52I don't.
31:53Which makes you a far more interesting, more complex, more impressive person.
32:02And I hope that the same can be said of me.
32:09Which brings me to the second reason for our meeting.
32:12You saw the, uh, the recent poll and Sunday Times article about the Queen.
32:20I did.
32:22Queen Victoria's Syndrome.
32:27What were your conclusions?
32:31It's just a poll, sir.
32:34True.
32:36Not a reassuring one.
32:38Bowls come and go.
32:40Dangerous to ignore them.
32:42Equally dangerous to be guided by them.
32:55There must have been many polls around the time of Mrs. Thatcher's departure.
33:03I'm sure many people wanted the Iron Lady to go on forever, but what makes the Conservative Party the successful
33:09electoral force that it is?
33:11It's instinct for renewal, and it's willingness to make way for someone younger.
33:19For almost 60 years, my great-great-grandfather, Edward VII, was kept waiting in the wings.
33:29It was said that Queen Victoria had no confidence in him, thought him dangerous, free-thinking.
33:37He longed to be given responsibilities, but his mother refused.
33:44Even forbade him from seeing state papers.
33:49And yet, when his time came, he proved his doubters wrong, and his dynamism, his intellect, his popular appeal made
33:57his reign a triumph.
34:00What are you saying, sir?
34:03I'm saying, what a pity it was.
34:06What a waste.
34:08That his voice, his presence, his vision wasn't incorporated earlier.
34:15It would have been so good.
34:19For everybody.
34:30You're coming to Balmoral?
34:32To the Gillies Ball?
34:34Yes.
34:35Very much looking forward to it.
34:39Well, then you'll have an opportunity to, uh, judge for yourself whether this institution that we all care about so
34:49deeply...
34:54...is in safe hands.
35:02And now to my questions about our built heritage and rural planning regulations.
35:49Calm down.
35:50Come on.
35:51Come on.
35:51Come on.
35:52This is...
35:52This is...
35:54It's...
35:54Yes.
35:55Hello, darling.
35:56Well, there never disappoints me here.
35:59Hello, you.
36:00Hello, you.
36:05Have you been for a nice walk?
36:07We have, and I haven't strangled her yet, which is a miracle.
36:10Hello, darling.
36:11Hello, Mum.
36:13We had a lovely morning.
36:15We read the newspapers.
36:17No, we didn't.
36:17Then we went on a long walk to discuss it all.
36:20Don't you look pretty? Doesn't she look pretty, Mum?
36:36You asked to see me, ma'am?
36:38I did.
36:40Why is everyone being odd?
36:43Ma'am?
36:44It started on the Royal Yacht.
36:47What started, ma'am?
36:48People being odd with me.
36:52You're being odd now.
36:54Am I?
36:57What's going on?
37:01An unkind, silly, inaccurate article in the Sunday Times.
37:07Not worth thinking about.
37:09Don't you think I ought to be the judge of that?
37:13Do you still have a copy?
37:17Ma'am.
37:18Ma'am.
37:33Ma'am.
37:34Ma'am.
37:36Ma'am.
37:37Ma'am.
37:38Ma'am.
37:39Ma'am.
37:40Ma'am.
37:42Ma'am.
37:52Hold on.
37:54Let's go.
38:17Let's go.
38:24Good.
38:44Let's go.
39:14Let's go.
39:21The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
39:23Prime Minister.
39:24Your Majesty.
39:26Tea.
39:28Did you come by train?
39:30Aeroplane, then car.
39:32Of course.
39:33You're a busy man.
39:34Every minute counts.
39:36But I'm a great believer in coming by sea.
39:38Instead of three hours door to door,
39:41it can take as long as two weeks on the Royal Yacht.
39:45Wonderful way to decompress.
39:48And, as my great-great-grandmother,
39:51who started the Western Isles tour, said,
39:53let time slow down so that one breathes freedom and peace,
39:58making one forget the world and its sad turmoil.
40:09I am aware the comparison between Queen Victoria and me has been made recently in the newspapers,
40:14and intended as criticism.
40:16What people fail to understand is,
40:19I see any similarity with Queen Victoria as a compliment.
40:23Attributes people use to describe her.
40:26Constancy.
40:28Stability.
40:29Calm.
40:30Duty.
40:30Duty.
40:30I would be proud to have described me.
40:34And, speaking of the Royal Yacht,
40:37it has now become clear that a small refit,
40:39teeny tiny little refreshment and refurbishment
40:42is required to keep her in tip-top shape.
40:45I am aware the costs for its maintenance are borne by the government,
40:49not by the palace,
40:50and so here I am, coming to you, Prime Minister,
40:55on bended knee for the sign-off.
40:58But I'm hoping that will be a formality.
41:05I'm just mindful that before she left office,
41:08Mrs. Thatcher bequeathed the palace an extremely generous civil list settlement.
41:14A deal that leaves the royal family richer than ever before.
41:19Given that this deal was designed precisely to forestall any awkward public debate on royal spending,
41:26I feel bound to at least raise the question of whether there's a way you might consider bearing the cost
41:33yourselves.
41:35It's just with the Royal Yacht being perceived as something of a luxury,
41:39there is a danger the palace could be seen to be asking for too much.
41:43But she isn't a luxury.
41:45Isn't she?
41:45Prime Minister,
41:47there has always been a Royal Yacht going all the way back to King Charles II.
41:52She is a central and indispensable part of the way the Crown serves the nation,
41:56and the revenue she has generated doing so is incalculable.
42:00But we're in the midst of a global recession.
42:02Each penny of public spending is closely scrutinized.
42:08I worry that the government spending public money on the refurbishment of a lot of a yacht might backfire.
42:17On us both.
42:26When I came to the throne, all my palaces were inherited. Windsor, Balmoral, Sandringham.
42:34They all bear the stamp of my predecessors.
42:38Only Britannia have I truly been able to make my own.
42:43Perhaps for that reason, the connection between me and the yacht is very much deeper than a mode of transport
42:49or even a home.
42:52From the design of the hull to the smallest piece of China, she is a floating, seagoing expression of me.
43:07I hope we can agree that, as sovereign, I have made very few requests, let alone demands, in return for
43:13the service I have given this country.
43:16Perhaps the reason I have held back is in the hope that when I actually do, people don't just take
43:22it seriously, they do as I ask, without question.
43:27So, I would like this government's reassurance, your reassurance, that the costs for the refurbishments will be met.
43:34And for you to inform me as soon as the arrangements are in place.
43:41I understand.
43:48Now, the ghillie's ball tonight.
43:50I have to ask, are you a dancer?
43:55Trying to turn the Ukraine into an independent European country.
43:59They want to break away from Moscow to turn their back on the leadership of Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
44:16To be aimed at the West in a bid to earn hard currency.
44:19The other Soviet republics have...
44:35...even more than the original enough for the rest of the Soviet Union.
44:36...
44:37...
44:37...
44:46The pain in the death is going to be found and to return the country.
44:47...
45:27Your Majesty, the Queen.
45:43Will you do me the honour, Prime Minister?
45:45And the honour would be mine, Your Majesty.
45:51You know you're my name.
45:53Oh, thanks.
45:54I'm in great.
45:55I do.
45:56The main thing for him is the master.
45:59Here we go.
46:18But you have to understand, it's not just upsetting to reduce the royal yacht to a cost-benefit equation.
46:25It's offensive.
46:27Oh, yes, I know.
46:28Repairs are an economic inconvenience.
46:31But I would argue a minor one.
46:34Next to the yacht's enduring role was a national symbol.
46:37And her importance to the Queen, personally.
46:42Boys, say goodnight to Mr. Major.
46:45Goodnight, sir.
46:46Goodnight, sir.
46:47Goodnight.
46:48Goodnight.
47:09Some local history for you, if you're interested.
47:12Of course.
47:13Queen Victoria held the first gillies ball in 1852, and there's been one every year since.
47:21I see.
47:21It began as a thank you to the gamekeepers and other servants, and has since developed into something of a
47:31saturnalian, if you know your classics.
47:36But the rules are turned upside down for a day.
47:40Masters serving slaves, and all disciplinary measures suspended for the night.
47:57I was just telling the Prime Minister that these things can get quite giddy.
48:02Not that I ever witness any of it.
48:04I'm afraid the real fun only starts when I go to bed.
48:07Can I count on you for a full report in the morning?
48:09You can, Your Majesty.
48:11Goodnight.
48:12Can you slip away?
48:14Our Majesty, the Queen.
48:34Prime Minister, I understand you, um, you had an audience with the Queen today.
48:40I know I shouldn't ask, but, uh, I just hope it plays well with the public.
48:46Sir?
48:48The, uh, the refit to Britannia.
48:52That is what she asked you for.
48:54Sir?
48:56Sometimes these old things, uh, they're too costly to keep repairing.
49:05I'll leave you with that thought.
49:09Shall we call it a night?
49:11I can't.
49:11Not yet.
49:12Will you dance with me before I scream?
49:17I'm so jealous you get to jump on a plane and escape out of here tomorrow, back to normality.
49:22Now I'm stuck here for another two weeks.
49:25But you just had a lovely family holiday.
49:27You and the Prince of Wales look so happy.
49:31You can judge the health of a family by the state of the marriages within it.
49:35And look.
49:37Anne and Mark.
49:39Look at Andrew and Sarah.
49:42Charles and me.
49:45I don't give any of us more than six months.
49:50And what happens then when the family falls apart?
49:54I say the institution falls apart.
49:59And then...
50:00...
50:06...
50:06...
50:19What do you mean?
50:21No.
50:22Right.
50:22Right.
50:23Right.
50:24And they won't exit.
50:25Come on right there.
50:26Fuck.
50:32What's the matter?
50:39When you imagine the problems you might be confronted with this Prime Minister,
50:43you imagine tricky sessions at PMQs, the economy in free fall, going to war.
50:52You never imagine this.
50:57The House of Windsor should be binding the nation together,
51:03setting an example of idealized family life.
51:07Instead, the senior royals seem dangerously deluded and out of touch.
51:15The junior royals, feckless, entitled, and lost.
51:24And the Prince of Wales, impatient for a bigger role in public life,
51:28fails to appreciate that his one great asset is his wife.
51:34It's a situation that cannot help but affect the stability of the country.
51:41And what makes it worse is it feels it's all about to erupt.
51:48On my watch.
51:51On my watch.
51:53On my watch.
