00:00You
00:34Ah, there you are. Come in. I'm practicing for the big day tomorrow and, um, I need an archbishop.
00:51Will you do me the honor from here?
01:00Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
01:05I am... willing.
01:11Will you maintain and preserve in... invi...
01:22Ah, inviolably. It means to make a promise you can... you can never break. A very sacred promise indeed.
01:37Yes!
01:40We're ready for you, sir.
01:42Oh, not yet, Tommy.
01:45We haven't even reached the anointing.
01:49You have to anoint me.
01:51Otherwise, I can't...
01:56Be king.
01:59Do you understand?
02:03When the holy oil touches me,
02:07I am...
02:09I am transformed.
02:13Brought into direct contact with the divine.
02:22Forever changed.
02:27Bound to God.
02:30It is the most important part of the entire ceremony.
02:36So we had better practice, hadn't we, Archbishop?
02:45Be thy hands anointed with holy oil.
02:55Be thy breast anointed with holy oil.
03:11As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:12Be thy head anointed with holy oil.
03:17As kings, priests, and prophets were anointed.
03:26Oh, goodness.
03:35That's very heavy indeed.
03:37Five pounds, sir.
03:39Not to mention the, uh, symbolic weight.
03:43Hmm?
03:45Mm-hm.
03:47Mm-hm.
03:48Mm-hm.
03:51Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:52Mm-hm.
03:57And the sight I heard I never see...
03:59And the sight I heard, I never see...
04:03Mm-hm.
04:43It's not as easy as it looks.
04:47That's exactly what the king said.
04:51I remember.
04:56Do you suppose I could borrow it for a couple of days?
05:00Just to practice?
05:02All right, ma'am.
05:05From whom?
05:07If it's not yours, whose is it?
06:54Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so.
07:06Oh, any idea where the Duke is?
07:08His Royal Highness went flying, ma'am.
07:10Howdy!
07:11Again?
07:18So when's the big day?
07:21Pilot's exam.
07:23Two weeks.
07:25And you still on track for the record?
07:26I am.
07:27Just.
07:28If I do nothing else.
07:30Oh.
07:31Then you'll hate me.
07:33Why?
07:34There is something I wanted you to help me with.
07:36It would have to be jolly important to distract me from getting my wings faster than anyone in British aviation
07:40history.
07:41It is.
07:42I'd like you to come aboard my coronation committee.
07:48In which capacity?
07:50As chairman.
07:52You already have one.
07:54Bernard.
07:56I'd ask the Duke of Norfolk to make room for you.
07:59I want to make a public declaration of my trust in you.
08:02There's no need to matronize me.
08:04I'm not matronizing you.
08:06Yes, you are.
08:06You're taking pity on me and giving me a job for appearance's sake.
08:10No, it's not that.
08:11I was just thinking how I'd like us to spend more time together.
08:14What are you talking about?
08:15We spend all our time together.
08:17No, we don't.
08:18You're always off flying or lunching with strange men.
08:21A few hours a week, darling.
08:23Anyway, what else am I supposed to do?
08:24Sit around and wait for you while you're queening?
08:27Queening?
08:27Yes, queening.
08:29Maybe I'd like your help with the queening.
08:31Oh, in the same flattering way you asked me to redecorate Clarence's house.
08:35Well, you did that jolly well.
08:36I felt like a sissy.
08:38Fussing about curtain fabrics and paint, Charles.
08:41Honestly, it's just queening of another sort.
08:53What would it entail?
08:56Well, the Duke of Norfolk will run the show from an organizational perspective.
09:02Look after the seating, the route of the procession,
09:04but as chairman of the committee, you'd have name but my ideas.
09:08Inspire everyone.
09:09Lead them.
09:10They won't listen to me.
09:12The grey old men.
09:13The men with moustaches.
09:14They hate me.
09:19They do not hate you.
09:21They do.
09:23They treat me as an outsider.
09:26In irrelevance.
09:28Everyone does.
09:46Total control or nothing at all.
09:49Those are my turns.
10:00but don't go mad what does that mean it means just don't go mad

18:18in recent days
18:20thank you very much
18:40my dearest darling one
18:44london is as awful and hellish
18:47and as full of my smug
18:49stinking relations as ever
18:52each day i call on mama in the afternoon
18:56and although she doesn't look quite as bad
18:58as the doctors warn me
19:00she'll never again be able to leave her rooms
19:03far less go out in public
19:23what?
19:28don't go
19:32i'm going anywhere mommy
19:39it's one of the hardest things
19:41i've ever had to endure
19:43and spending so much time
19:44with a woman who has been so vicious
19:46and inhumane to you
19:49my beloved
19:49is wearing me down
19:52amen
19:59sorry to disturb you
20:00your royal highness
20:02what is it?
20:03the archbishop of canterbury's private secretary called sir
20:06requesting a meeting between you and his grace
20:08oh what about?
20:11it didn't say sir
20:12he hoped you could make tomorrow
20:15fine i have a few errands planned
20:18but the archbishop can come to lunch
20:20as a matter of fact they suggested 4pm
20:24all right
20:26we'll give him tea
20:27at lambeth palace
20:32of course
20:35no i'm no longer king
20:37i go to them
20:42thank you
20:45good night
20:45good night
20:46good night
20:46good night
21:22his royal highness the duke of windsor your grace goodness what is this an ambush not at all sir
21:32you're not just a gathering of old friends who come together to appeal to you in person
21:39in the hope that you will do what we all think would be
21:47the right thing
21:51regarding what the coronation
21:57what about the coronation
22:03we acknowledge as a
22:08as a member of the queen's close family you are entitled to attend
22:14but also feel that the attendance at this sacred ceremony
22:21by one who however good his reasons did not feel capable of undertaking the obligations himself
22:34well it could strike a wrong note and would be deeply upsetting
22:42to whom to everyone concerned I didn't ask you Tommy this is cookies work isn't it
22:50the queen mother's it's got her pudgy little fingers all over it she asked you to do her dirty work
22:58for her
22:59and you agreed archbishop shame on you I will attend if I want and I do want and so does
23:04my wife
23:05alas no sir of course the royal family is obliged to extend an invitation to you
23:12as a royal duke but that obligation does not extend to the duchess of windsor
23:18and it is my duty to inform you
23:20on behalf of the royal family and the government with whom we have worked in close consultation
23:25that she will not be offered an invitation
23:29oh it's madness
23:34the pusillanimity and vindictiveness knows no limits
23:39seventeen years have elapsed since the abdication
23:46shouldn't bygones be bygones
23:49some things can never be forgotten
23:50which of us for example has forgotten the song
23:54you would compare the love and public commitment I made to my wife
23:59to slaughter in a world war
24:20why not use a celebration such as this
24:25the investiture of a new sovereign
24:30a beautiful young child symbol of maternity change and progress to turn a page
24:38surely the sophistication of a society can be measured by its tolerance and ability to forgive
24:44its weakness too
24:45sometimes lines just need to be drawn
24:49you know Tommy you're an embarrassment to the institution you serve
24:54and to the country that institution serves in turn
24:57and I will take a lecture on national embarrassment from many people sir but not from you
25:04let's face it
25:06this whole thing is a charade
25:07you knew already the answer to the choice you have given me
25:11it is simply the same as the choice that caused all this offense in the first place
25:15namely would I do anything that excludes or disrespects the woman I love
25:20no never I will therefore not be attending the coronation of my own niece
25:26whose favorite uncle I have always been
25:29hers you should know was one of the strongest voices involved
25:32oh was it indeed
25:34well we know from where she gets that ice in her veins
25:37and it wasn't from my own dear weak brother
25:40nothing weak about the late king sir
25:42I'm sure I speak for everyone present when I call him a hero
25:47hear hear
25:51my lord archbishop
25:54what a scold you are
25:56and when your man is down how very bold you are
26:00of christian charity how very scant you are
26:10a rhyme composed for your perfidious predecessor at the time of my abdication
26:17I find the sentiment oddly applicable to you too
26:37if I were to release a statement
26:41could you have a look over it
26:43of course
26:48I'm aware that it's normal for no reigning monarchs
26:52to be present
26:52but a coronation
26:55perhaps we could extend that to include former kings too
27:00to spare my blushes
27:02might just throw some of the vultures off the scent
27:10it's an elegant solution sir
27:12and I'm quite sure cabinet will support it
27:15Tommy
27:18I'll speak to their magistrates and get back to you
27:29we've just had a call from mulbrass
27:33regarding her majesty queen mary
27:42my own darling sweetheart
27:46well at last it's all over
27:49mama took ill in the afternoon
27:51then began hemorrhaging in the early hours
27:56doctors plied her with tranquilizers and morphine
27:59to ensure there was no suffering
28:01in the end she passed in her sleep
28:05I was sad of course
28:07but let's not forget how she clung to such hatred for me
28:11her eldest
28:12till the last
28:15I'm afraid her blood ran as icy cold when she was alive
28:19as it does now she's dead
28:24later in the day
28:25all the members of the family assembled
28:27to identify which of her personal possessions they were most like
28:31not entirely
28:32I told Shirley Temple what I had my eye on
28:36thank you
28:37but as I shan't be there when the jackals descend
28:39I don't suppose it will do much good
28:43what a vile tawdry rabble my relatives are
28:47and what a sad desiccated bunch of hyenas most of them have become
28:55but I'm tired of talking about it
28:59I yearn for our perfect life together
29:02away from the snarling and the sniping of the court
29:07I adore you my sweetheart
29:09more deeply than you will ever realize
29:12and I am furiously mad that you aren't here with me as you ought by right to be
29:23while Queen Mary lived something of the great reigns of Queen Victoria
29:29and George V seemed to live on with her
29:35proving that character is as it will remain
29:41the essential strength of British monarchy
29:45wherever she went
29:47she was assured of an applause
29:50which sprang from some deep-seated affection
29:56you noticed
29:57identical to the funeral of your father
30:01nothing different, not on detail
30:02but one guest
30:07and she always regarded herself
30:10as a servant of our country
30:13which she served
30:15to the end
30:17no sooner does someone in the family pop their clogs
30:20they ask themselves, right, how's it done last time
30:22and it's done exactly the same way again
30:24the people who have come to share in it are locked outside
30:33but I'm not going to let your coronation be like this
30:36you're a young woman
30:36simply of a new era
30:39in a fast-changing
30:42modern world
30:46and I think your coronation should reflect that
30:50for as much as it have pleased almighty God
30:53of his great mercy
31:06earth to earth
31:07ashes to ashes
31:10dust
31:13be sure that certain current with the resurrection
31:16will be done
31:17through our Lord Jesus Christ
31:22change our fire in the body
31:24if they invite the authorities to the Lord
31:28warning or warning
31:34that's what's going on
31:35ladies and gentlemen
31:37you know what's
31:39pre-ministered ladies and gentlemen
31:40you know what's pre-ministered ladies and gentlemen
32:02we should go
32:19good morning
32:25what is the collective noun for a group of stuffy old atonians
32:32a herd
32:34pack
32:35school
32:57thank you
33:05gentlemen
33:06gentlemen
33:06gentlemen
33:08gentlemen
33:08I'd like to start by saying how very honoured I feel
33:11to be working with all the great minds and talents here in this room today
33:16as we come together to organise the very best coronation for my wife
33:20Queen
33:24we all know the scale of the challenge that faces us
33:27the eyes of the world will be on us
33:30Britain will be on show and we must put our best foot forward
33:37in such circumstances the temptation is to roll out the red carpet and follow the precedent set by the grand
33:45and successful coronations of the past
33:48but looking to the past for our inspiration would be a mistake in my view
33:56Britain today is not the Britain of past coronations
33:59assumptions made at the time of my father-in-law's coronation 17 years ago cannot be made anymore
34:07that is why I think we should adapt this ceremony
34:13make it
34:14make it less ostentatious more egalitarian show more respect and sensitivity to the real world we have a new sovereign
34:22young and a woman let us give her a coronation that is befitting of the wind of change that she
34:31represents modern and forward-looking at a moment in time where exciting technological developments are making things possible
34:39we never dreamt of
34:41which brings me to my next point
34:56it's a unconscionable vulgarisation
35:05how close are you proposing that these cameras get them
35:08they will be kept at a very discreet distance
35:11no no close up son
35:16zoom lenses
35:18oh no it will all be done with the greatest sensitivity and respect for the occasion
35:33but
35:35I have had one or two broader thoughts about the service itself
35:43what
35:59we can both see what's going on here
36:01a young couple are playing marital games with the most cherished parts of our history and pageantry
36:08our queen wouldn't agree with a single one of these radical proposals
36:13television being just the tip of the iceberg
36:19she's simply trying to keep peace in her own bedchamber
36:22by promoting her husband keeping him happy and occupied and virile
36:30that's what's going on here Winston
36:31why what else has he proposed
36:40prime minister
36:41your majesty
37:02please tell me this has nothing to do with my husband
37:06I told him not to go mad
37:10no one is questioning the Duke of Edinburgh's motives
37:14or the sincerity of his beliefs
37:17I see
37:17he went mad
37:20the changes he is proposing
37:23to an ancient sacred never previously changed liturgy and text
37:32if it went from top to toe
37:36and if it were just a business
37:38it would be applauded
37:40but this isn't a business
37:41it's the crown
37:45and one has to ask oneself
37:47what is the purpose of the crown
37:50what is the purpose of the monarchy
37:54does the crown bend to the will of the people to be audited and accountable
37:59or should it remain above temporal matters
38:08what say you
38:18the decision is yours to make
38:23we will take our lead from you
38:28no
38:47theitor
38:49and
38:55we
38:56when
39:09I'm sorry I'm going to provide available concrete amount of investments.
39:27What is this? Hide and seek.
39:29I told you not to overstep the mark.
39:31And I made it clear.
39:32Can't blanch or nothing at all.
39:33Trade unionists and businessmen in the Abbey.
39:36If you want to stay on the throne, yes.
39:38In a trim-down televised coronation.
39:40If you want to avoid a revolution, yes, you forget.
39:43I have seen firsthand what it is like for a royal family to be overthrown because they're out of step
39:48with the people.
39:49I left Greece in an orange crate.
39:51My father would have been killed.
39:52My grandfather was.
39:53I'm just trying to protect you.
39:55From whom?
39:56The British people?
39:57You have no idea who they are or what they want.
40:00Oh, oh, I'm just Johnny Foreigner again who doesn't understand.
40:03Fine, fine.
40:04You want a big overblown ceremony costing a fortune while the rest of the country is on rations?
40:09Have it.
40:10But don't come bleating to me when your head and the heads of our children are on spikes.
40:15If the people are hungry, they want something that lifts them up.
40:18And how do you propose lifting them if they cannot see it?
40:23The people look to the monarchy for something bigger than themselves.
40:26An inspiration, a higher ideal.
40:28If you put it in their homes, allow them to watch it with their dinner on their lips.
40:31If not, democratize it.
40:34Make them feel that they share in it.
40:36Understand it.
40:36All right.
40:39Right.
40:40I'll support you in the tail rising.
40:46You won't regret it.
40:48On one condition.
40:53That you kneel.
41:07Who told you?
41:09My Prime Minister.
41:12He said you intended to refuse.
41:14No, I merely asked the question whether it was right in this day and age that the Queen's consort, her
41:18husband, should kneel to her rather than stand beside her.
41:23You won't be kneeling to me.
41:25That's not how it will look.
41:26That's not how it will feel.
41:27It will feel like a eunuch.
41:29An amoeba is kneeling before his wife.
41:31You'll be kneeling before God and the crown, as we all do.
41:34I don't see you kneeling before anyone.
41:35I'm not kneeling because I'm already flattened under the weight of this thing.
41:38Oh, spare me the false humility.
41:40It doesn't look like that to me.
41:41How does it look to you?
41:42It looks to me like you're enjoying it.
41:43It's released an unattractive sense of authority and entitlement that I have never seen before.
41:48And in you it's released a weakness, an insecurity I've never seen before.
41:51Are you my wife or my Queen?
41:53I'm both.
41:54I want to be married to my wife.
41:56I am both and a strong man will be able to kneel to both.
41:59I will not kneel before my wife.
42:00But your wife is not asking you to.
42:02But my Queen commands me.
42:03Yes.
42:03I beg you make an exception for me.
42:11No.
42:11No.
42:12No.
42:38I don't know.
43:01Come on, they'll be here soon.
43:09David, you're our host, darling.
43:14You're right there.
43:16You're right there.
43:38Come on.
43:39She's arriving.
43:41The dreaded gold stake coach.
43:44Made in the 1760s and the most uncomfortable ride known to man.
43:56Final checks, please, gentlemen.
43:59West door.
44:00West door, sir.
44:02Triforium.
44:03Triforium, standing by, sir.
44:04South transept.
44:06South transept, standing by, sir.
44:08Orban screen.
44:09Orban screen, standing by, sir.
44:10Triforium two.
44:12Triforium two, standing by, sir.
44:14Gentlemen.
44:16Three, two, one.
44:42Who's that?
44:44Oh.
44:45Uh.
44:49Oh, it's Lord Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle, the man that gave away India and his
44:57own wife.
44:58Kindle the pain narrow, if you please.
45:02Oh, my God.
45:06Oh, my God.
45:08Oh, my God.
45:11Oh, my God.
45:12Five, four, and two.
45:13Hand left, please.
45:15Left.
45:17And left.
45:18And left.
45:32Praise for death, come ye before him and rejoice.
45:54Moving forwards now, four knights of the Garter, the Dukes of Wellington and Portland, the Earl Fortescue and the Bicount
46:02Hallandeth, bringing with them a golden canopy to shield Her Majesty from view during the most sacred of the coronation
46:10rituals, the Anointing.
46:12In three, two, one.
46:23Where'd she go?
46:26Now we come to the Anointing.
46:31The single most holy, most solemn, most sacred moment.
46:39The entire service.
46:43So how come we don't get to see it?
46:46Because we are mortals.
46:48No, no.
46:50No!
46:50No!
46:55No.
46:55In your journey to be his perfume.
47:04Now...
47:18Is your majesty willing to take the oath?
47:24I am willing.
47:28Will you maintain and preserve this?
47:41Invariably.
47:46I will.
48:12Is your hands anointed with holy oil?
48:36With thy breast I anointed with holy oil.
48:48With thy head anointed with holy oil.
49:00As kings, priests and prophets were anointed.
49:09And as Solomon was anointed king by Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet, so be thou anointed,
49:31blessed and consecrated queen over the peoples whom the Lord thy God hath given thee to rule and govern in
49:47the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
49:57Amen.
49:58Amen.
50:13Oils and oaths, orbs and scepters, symbol upon symbol.
50:21An unfathomable web of arcane mystery and liturgy.
50:28Blurring so many lines, no clergyman or historian or lawyer could ever untangle any of it.
50:38It's crazy.
50:40On the contrary, it's perfectly sane.
50:43Who wants transparency when you can have magic?
50:49Who wants prose when you can have poetry?
50:54Pull away the veil, and what are you left with?
50:59An ordinary young woman of modest ability and little imagination.
51:07Wrap her up like this, anoint her with oil, and hey presto, what do you have?
51:17The goddess.
51:26The goddess.
51:30The goddess.
51:37The night is Sunday
51:53God save the week
51:55God save the week
51:58God save the week
52:16And to think you turned all that down
52:19That chance to be a God
52:26I turned it down for something greater still
52:39For love
52:40For love
53:14For love
53:34I have Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, to become your liege man of life and live, and a earthly
53:42worship. Faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die against all manner of folks,
53:49so help me God.
