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.
00:04:45They will march at the finally, of the 15 other miles.
00:04:51They will march at the 23rd of the 19th century,
00:04:59They will march at theο-labor from the 15th century.
00:05:01The human saying...
00:05:02They will march at theøsse and their maiden's rivers.
00:05:09They will march and they will march at the same time.
00:05:13And the wind, the wind, the wind, the wind, the wind, the wind.
00:06:54What's going on?
00:06:56The Prime Minister's just coming out, sir.
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
00:08:10to 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?
00:08:32She did. Camilla 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. He was serially 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. That 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.
00:09:24That surely is in all our interests.
00:09:38What is he doing?
00:09:41Planning his funeral.
00:09:44He wants that as his hearse.
00:09:50You 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.
00:10:04And 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.
00:10:41I think it will 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. A 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.
00:11:07Yes. Perfectly 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,
00:11:25forgive me, ma'am, the death 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, please 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 twat.
00:12:12Meet my brother, life 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.
00:12:28Cliché.
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 race.
00:12:37Or hit him.
00:12:38Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:12:40Click his arse.
00:12:42Oh, my God.
00:12:45Useful.
00:12:46Your Royal Highnesses, I 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.
00:13:12It's never good when they come out.
00:13:28Your Majesty.
00:13:30My 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 the General Synod
00:14:06had eased its stance
00:14:07on the marriage of divorcees.
00:14:09It has.
00:14:10But many 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 for 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 in hearing
00:14:48the Archbishop of Canterbury's view,
00:14:50that the Prince and 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.
00:15:24The service might include
00:15:26a prayer of penitence
00:15:27in which the couple
00:15:29join with the congregation
00:15:30in asking forgiveness
00:15:31for past wickedness.
00:15:39I've always taken comfort
00:15:41in the knowledge
00:15:42that God retaineth not
00:15:44his anger forever
00:15:45because he delighteth in mercy.
00:15:49Whatever short-term risk
00:15:51the marriage may present
00:15:52to the integrity of 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.
00:16:16Oi, oi.
00:16:24Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:25Good afternoon, sir.
00:16:26It was an incredible decision
00:16:29of this part.
00:16:30Your Royal Highnesses,
00:16:31Her Majesty, we'll see you now.
00:16:36Tracks.
00:16:37Come on, hurry.
00:16:39Oh, hurry.
00:16:40Oh, well.
00:16:50Granny.
00:16:52Thank you both for coming.
00:16:54Now, I need some air.
00:16:57Would you be very cross
00:16:58if I suggest
00:16:58we 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
00:17:42with 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
00:18:01is 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
00:18:16about it at 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 had 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,
00:18:53please.
00:19:02Mummy.
00:19:08I can't believe you caved
00:19:09like 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
00:19:13what you feel.
00:19:14That's what being a realist
00:19:15is.
00:19:15You're such a fucking
00:19:16company, man.
00:19:17I'm just trying
00:19:18to be an adult.
00:19:20I don't expect you
00:19:20to understand
00:19:21what that feels like.
00:19:29Thank you, mummy.
00:19:35It's done.
00:19:37It's done.
00:19:41It's done.
00:19:42It's done.
00:19:54It's done.
00:19:57It's done.
00:19:58It's done.
00:19:58It's done.
00:19:58It's done.
00:19:58It's done.
00:20:01It's done.
00:20:02It's done.
00:20:02It's done.
00:20:06It's done.
00:21:03How was it with the boys today?
00:21:05Fine.
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.
00:21:27Some time in the army should sort him out.
00:21:35Everything all right?
00:21:37I think so.
00:21:39Though, as you predicted,
00:21:42all 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.
00:22:07All right.
00:22:30All right.
00:22:35Wait. Thank you.
00:23:06Your Majesty, you asked to see me.
00:23:09I did. I hope you know how much everyone appreciates your beautiful music every day.
00:23:16I don't mind telling you. There are days when I wake up and it all feels a bit...
00:23:22Then I hear you play and all that goes away.
00:23:25Thank you, ma'am.
00:23:27They've got me planning my funeral at the moment.
00:23:31Just as a precaution, and I'm in the process of choosing the music
00:23:35and wondered if there was a tune for the pipes you thought might work.
00:23:42There are a number of laments written for fallen soldiers, ma'am.
00:23:49I will go home to contain. It springs to mind. Lord Lovett's Lament.
00:23:53But is there a particular one that you like?
00:23:56Me, ma'am?
00:23:58Yes, pipes. You.
00:24:05There is...
00:24:09There is one...
00:24:10that I particularly like.
00:24:15It's sleep, dearie sleep.
00:24:18Will you play it for me?
00:24:25What now?
00:24:26Why not?
00:24:27Inside.
00:24:29It's a hell of a din, ma'am.
00:24:31It's not a din to me.
00:24:46I'll be here with you...
00:24:47I'll be here with me.
00:24:50Here is my family.
00:24:50What are you doing?
00:25:03Let's get all that...
00:25:23¶¶
00:25:27¶¶
00:25:28¶ Soldier, lie down on your wee pickle's door ¶¶
00:25:38¶¶ It's not very broad ¶¶
00:25:43¶¶ And it's not fairy broad ¶¶
00:25:47¶¶ States DIY ¶¶
00:25:50¶¶ It's better than nothing ¶¶
00:25:54It's all sleep, dearly sleep
00:26:32Ta-da! Here we go!
00:26:35What about an astronaut?
00:26:36Or a cowboy?
00:26:37No, he's more of a goody-goody. Or a dick.
00:26:40I'm going as a lion.
00:26:41As a lion king.
00:26:43Oh, R of R.
00:26:44I'm going to go as... What about biggles?
00:26:46What's that got to do with colonials and natives?
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?
00:27:01How 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. Nice touch.
00:27:11Your brother.
00:27:13What's got?
00:27:14Oh, you've got him.
00:27:18Hello!
00:27:21Who stole my gantra?
00:27:25No!
00:27:25That's my grandmother.
00:27:27No!
00:27:34Hello!
00:27:38Hello!
00:27:39Hello.
00:27:39How you doing?
00:27:41Hello.
00:27:41How you doing?
00:27:42How you doing?
00:27:42How you doing?
00:27:42Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:44This is incredible.
00:27:45You're a fagina.
00:27:46It's awesome.
00:27:48Grandma.
00:27:48What are you doing?
00:27:49What am I doing?
00:27:51I'm being fat!
00:27:53There! There! There!
00:27:55What are you doing?
00:27:57Guy! Guy!
00:27:59Is he going up into the stage?
00:28:02Excuse me!
00:28:12I want to be a free leader!
00:28:16I want to be free!
00:28:21I want to break free from your lies
00:28:24You're so, so satisfied at me
00:28:29I want to break free
00:28:31I want to break free from your lies
00:28:39You're so, so satisfied at me
00:28:40I want to break free
00:28:57You don't have to go
00:29:21What's up?
00:29:46Oh, shit.
00:29:59Oh, Harry.
00:30:17I was a troublemaker at school, repeatedly caned by my housemaster, six of the best.
00:30:26We all make mistakes in the flashes of youth.
00:30:28Rarely as gross a misjudgment as this.
00:30:31A swastika 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.
00:31:37It's all right, thank you.
00:31:40I think I remember.
00:31:41I remember.
00:31:54That's it.
00:31:55That's it.
00:31:55That's it.
00:31:57That's it.
00:31:57No, why haven't it gone through?
00:31:59That's meant to go under here.
00:32:01And it hasn't looked too bad about it.
00:32:04Stop that.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:10Oh, bingo.
00:32:15Good, good.
00:32:45Good, good.
00:33:22Good, good.
00:33:46Good, good.
00:34:22Good, good.
00:34:41Good, good.
00:34:58Good, good.
00:35:00Good, good.
00:35:00Good, good.
00:35:09Good.
00:35:11Good.
00:35:18Good.
00:35:21Good.
00:35:25Good.
00:35:27Good.
00:35:29Good.
00:35:47you how was Harry a bit subdued his father's got him mucking out pigs as
00:35:56punishment that feels a little Old Testament I agree Harry was foolish to go to that party dressed
00:36:05in that costume but he was bloody unlucky that a fellow guest should go to the newspapers like
00:36:11that yes so I phoned the costume rental shop gave him a piece of my mind why should I draw
00:36:23it in
00:36:23sodding crayon the uniform was inaccurate the German Africa core never wore swastikas
00:36:35a fact I impressed upon the Santa's top brass who happily agreed this latest episode should not
00:36:43prevent Harry entering officer training oh well done to ban him would be madness
00:36:50and would only exacerbate the real problem which is a lack of a sense of purpose due to a failure
00:36:58of
00:36:58responsible parenting yes you want to discuss anything before I go about what on the funeral but it
00:37:14might have stirred up here yeah thank you right well I'll be off duty calls
00:37:35you card why didn't you tell him
00:37:41what you've been thinking since you first started working on your funeral in fact since the golden
00:37:46jubilee how tired no not just tired exhausted you are by it all yes how ready for a rest
00:38:05and at the same time how ready he suddenly looks who Charles
00:38:14oh him yes
00:38:28we even have president Queen will Amina of the Netherlands was 68 when she stepped down in
00:38:33favor of her daughter Charlotte Luxembourg was also in the late sixties that's the Netherlands and
00:38:38Luxembourg bicycle monarchy it's not something at all it's exactly the same thing and in both cases
00:38:43a great success you've been on the throne for over half a century that's longer than any other
00:38:53Queen but Queen Victoria how effective was she by the end rheumatic and blind weak and unwell hidden
00:38:59away on the Isle of Wight you're almost 80 years old so everyone keeps reminding me well that's
00:39:05nearly 20 years past the retirement age for women no need to go on that's what I'm saying no need
00:39:11to go
00:39:12on your first loyalty has always been to the crown sometimes at the expense of being a mother
00:39:22stepping down is the right thing to do as Queen and as a mother
00:39:27backhand is the other way
00:39:30you're actually
00:39:31ready
00:39:31next to Queen初夏
00:39:32yeah yeah
00:39:50yeah
00:39:51yeah
00:39:52yeah
00:40:06Everyone has now agreed on a date for the wedding.
00:40:109th of April, at the Guildhall in Windsor.
00:40:14We also felt, given your role as head of the Church of England
00:40:18and the Church's position that marriage is a lifelong commitment,
00:40:22that it would be wrong for you to attend the ceremony in person.
00:40:27The idea being, you can watch the coverage on television
00:40:30and then join everyone for the service at St. George's Chapel
00:40:33and the reception at Windsor Castle.
00:40:39Has the Prime Minister been invited to the reception?
00:40:43Yes, ma'am.
00:40:44And the leader of the opposition?
00:40:46Yes.
00:40:47And the Archbishop of Canterbury?
00:40:49Yes.
00:40:50And there will be an opportunity for me to say a few words.
00:40:54Oh, I'm sure everyone would be delighted.
00:40:57Would you like me to draft something?
00:41:00That won't be necessary.
00:41:01I'll write something myself.
00:41:02That's all.
00:41:03Thank you, Robin.
00:41:20You were all for the uniform in the costume shop, egging me on.
00:41:23Now suddenly you're Mr. Morality.
00:41:25Oh, okay, right.
00:41:25Stabbing me in the back.
00:41:27Ladies and gentlemen, the jury, how many faces does this man have?
00:41:29You know, I'm not sure I like you're turning into.
00:41:31And I'm not sure I like you've been or not.
00:41:32Can you stop bickering, please?
00:41:33I beg you.
00:41:36How was supper?
00:41:38Well, I'm sad to say it was all rather unpleasant.
00:41:41Boys were snapping at each other.
00:41:44Well, that's just boys.
00:41:45Can I just make one request?
00:41:47That you don't make my wedding day a misery.
00:41:51I've waited too long for it.
00:41:54Yes, but you didn't witness it.
00:41:56It was horrid how they were to each other.
00:41:59Vicious and unkind.
00:42:01They're young, riding the waves of emotion,
00:42:04which is understandable after what they've been through.
00:42:07Are they going to blame me, do you think,
00:42:09and hold me responsible for the way they've turned out?
00:42:13Well, being their father, you are responsible
00:42:16for making it better.
00:42:20As soon as they're through tomorrow, everything will be fine.
00:42:25Well, I do hope so.
00:42:27And how are you?
00:42:28Me?
00:42:30I'm all right.
00:42:32My sister persuaded me to get a fake tan,
00:42:34so now I smell like the dog's blanket.
00:42:41Are you having any last-minute doubts?
00:42:44Not me.
00:42:46I'm in.
00:42:50For all of it?
00:42:52For whatever being married to you turns out to be.
00:42:56Well, you might find out what that entails
00:42:59sooner than you imagine.
00:43:01What's that supposed to mean?
00:43:03Well, I've been told that the Queen intends
00:43:06to make a speech at the reception afterwards.
00:43:08A speech which nobody has seen
00:43:11and which she's, um, written herself.
00:43:17It feels like she's planning a big announcement.
00:43:22My father met with Anne to ask what she thought was in it,
00:43:26but she's as baffled as the rest of us.
00:43:28Then Anne rang Andrew,
00:43:30and he went riding with the Queen,
00:43:32but, well, you know,
00:43:33Andrew drew a complete blank.
00:43:36So if her intention was to set tongues wagging,
00:43:39she certainly succeeded.
00:43:43Don't give it any further thought.
00:43:46Yes.
00:43:48Just think about the boys.
00:43:51Thank you, darling.
00:44:16Dinner was weird.
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:23When he overcompensates like that,
00:44:27it's going to be an exciting new chapter for us all.
00:44:32Barf.
00:44:33A few years ago,
00:44:35it would have pissed me off.
00:44:37No, 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?
00:44:53That she's going to use the occasion
00:44:54to tell the family she's standing down
00:44:57after 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.
00:45:31Who was he?
00:45:32Who, would you believe,
00:45:34was also called Prince Harry?
00:45:36He had William killed in a shooting accident
00:45:38and galloped off to Winchester
00:45:40to 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.
00:46:02Just call for it.
00:46:03There.
00:46:05I think there will be a...
00:46:06Oh, good.
00:46:38I'm a white bottle.
00:46:40You boys?
00:47:20I'm a white bottle.
00:47:45I'm a white bottle.
00:48:12I'm a white bottle.
00:48:45I'm a white bottle.
00:49:06I'm a white bottle.
00:49:24I'm a white bottle.
00:49:41I'm a white bottle.
00:49:44I'm a white bottle.
00:49:45I'm a white bottle.
00:50:18I'm a white bottle.
00:50:27And admit it.
00:50:53I'm a white bottle.
00:50:55I'm a white bottle.
00:50:55I'm a white bottle.
00:51:19I'm a white bottle.
00:51:20I'm a white bottle.
00:51:25I'm a white bottle.
00:51:30Elizabeth, if you went looking for Elizabeth Windsor, you 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, his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, and her royal highness, the Duchess of Cornwall, facing
00:52:09the public for the first time as man and wife.
00:52:13No fairytale kiss from the happy couple for the onlookers. Instead, smiles and a brief wave.
00:52:25Ready?
00:52:27Yes, I think so.
00:52:32A speech you're about to make.
00:52:35Yes?
00:52:37Everyone's got their knickers in a twist about it.
00:52:41Have they?
00:52:42Are you sure you don't want to discuss it?
00:52:44Quite sure. Thank you.
00:52:49Come on.
00:53:08Innocent.
00:53:10Innocent.
00:53:11Innocent.
00:53:11Innocent.
00:53:11Innocent.
00:53:13Innocent.
00:53:14Micah.νη生.
00:53:19Innocent.
00:53:19Innocent.
00:53:19Holy. Mayorknest.
00:53:20Innocent. That
00:53:20isones. Oh,
00:53:21man. Yes.
00:53:24Mayorknest.
00:53:25Let have
00:53:25a given
00:53:25up of the century,
00:53:25sins and wickeds, which we from time to time most grievously have committed by thought,
00:53:33word, and deed against thy divine majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation
00:53:40against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The
00:53:49remembrance of them is grievous unto us. The burden of them is intolerable.
00:53:55Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father. Forgive us all that is past.
00:54:02Grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, in the honour
00:54:09and glory of thy name. Amen.
00:54:53Ready for you, ma'am.
00:55:09May silence for our majesty the queen.
00:55:29I suppose one has to start these things with an introduction. For those of you who don't
00:55:35know me, I am the mother of the groom.
00:55:43Today has been a memorable day, with a single happy event bringing the whole nation together.
00:55:51The Grand National Steeplechase finished 20 minutes ago and the results were as follows.
00:55:57Hedge Hunter, the 7 to 1 favourite, ridden by Ruby Walsh, trained by Willie Mullins, won the race by 14
00:56:04lengths.
00:56:05Royal Leclerc finished second, simply gifted third.
00:56:10In other news, there is a small family wedding in the Windsor area, which the police are keeping their eyes
00:56:19on.
00:56:20Chief Constable Darren Dead said he was hoping that displays of excessive exuberance would be kept to a minimum.
00:56:31Almost 650 years ago, the chaplain at Windsor played host to the wedding of another Prince of Wales, Edward, the
00:56:41Black Prince.
00:56:43The young Edward was widely expected to marry a European princess, but Edward had other ideas.
00:56:48He set his heart on a woman he had known his whole life, slightly his senior, a mother who had
00:56:56previously been married.
00:57:00What ensued was a devoted, loving marriage that would last their whole lives.
00:57:11Charles, I know that over the years it hasn't been easy.
00:57:16Being Prince of Wales is hardly a recipe for happiness. History has taught us that.
00:57:21It is to be condemned to watch an old parent do a job one can imagine oneself doing better for
00:57:28years and years.
00:57:31It is to your great credit that you have filled this vacuum, not like several predecessors, with idleness and excess,
00:57:42but with a great swell of activity and charitable endeavour.
00:57:57And now, a word of thanks to Camilla.
00:58:03It can't have been easy for you either over the years,
00:58:07but your good cheer and warm humanity work wonderfully in your favour,
00:58:14both as a strength and stay for the Prince of Wales,
00:58:21and as an addition to this family.
00:58:24Thank you for your patience and forbearance.
00:58:31So now, will you all raise your glasses to the young couple?
00:58:37Charles and Camilla.
00:58:39Charles and Camilla!
00:58:42Yay!
00:58:53Get you!
00:58:56You're not getting it.
00:58:58Girls!
00:58:59Oi!
00:59:01This way!
00:59:08Nice speech, Granny.
00:59:12Though surprisingly short.
00:59:14Are you 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?
00:59:24Nothing.
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 mad?
00:59:44I was going to say, need extra care and attention.
00:59:50Ma'am?
00:59:52Ah.
00:59:53Photographs.
00:59:55Very good.
00:59:56Let's go inside.
00:59:57Come 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, if you're going to have them, keep them down and shh.
01:00:26Be quiet.
01:00:39Harry.
01:00:41Harry.
01:00:43Is this way ready for you, Your Majesty?
01:00:45Right.
01:00:46Goodness sake, get out of the way.
01:00:48This way, please, everyone.
01:00:50Our revels now are ended.
01:00:53These are actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits and melted into air.
01:01:00For God's sake, take the bloody photograph, will you?
01:01:03Oh, 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.
01:01:21Let's do it.
01:01:22Here we go.
01:01:28This way, please.
01:01:30This way, the one, please.
01:01:35Well, that was a surprise.
01:01:48I, uh...
01:01:49Good morning, my dear.
01:02:10Ah.
01:02:13There you are.
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:17Here I still am.
01:02:19Oh.
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?
01:02:34Joyriding, 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.
01:02:46And not a hint of the torment you've been going through.
01:02:50Was it that obvious?
01:02:52Yes.
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.
01:03:01Because 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?
01:03:12I was so young.
01:03:13Oh, no, no.
01:03:14You were always ready.
01:03:16You were born ready.
01:03:18You are one of a kind.
01:03:23By contrast, this lot.
01:03:26Hmm?
01:03:28The good thing is, it's not our problem.
01:03:32This is where we will be, you and I.
01:03:36Right under this stone.
01:03:40We will 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.
01:04:38Oh.
01:04:39You looked?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:43A piper's lament.
01:04:46Your sole musical choice.
01:04:50It's very you.
01:04:53And your coffin, being driven in an old Land Rover, is very you.
01:04:57Oh.
01:04:58You looked.
01:04:59I did.
01:05:03Well.
01:05:10I'll leave you to it.
01:05:12Say one for me.
01:05:33I'll leave you to it.
01:05:34Well, I'll leave you to it.
