00:01:01.
00:01:01I hear you clearly, and stand by for testifying.
00:01:05Adjusting now.
00:01:06Testifying.
00:01:22Mommy.
00:01:23I've come to make a final representation,
00:01:27and to beseech you not to do this.
00:01:30I wish to address my people.
00:01:33It's my right.
00:01:34You have forfeited that right.
00:01:36There are things I wish to say.
00:01:38In which capacity?
00:01:40You're no longer their king.
00:01:42As a private individual.
00:01:43Oh, no one wants to hear from a private individual.
00:01:46Well, I beg to differ.
00:01:47The newspapers are for me.
00:01:49The best thing for everyone would be
00:01:51if you said your goodbyes quietly, privately,
00:01:54and disappeared into the night.
00:01:57Preferably never to return.
00:02:00I didn't say that.
00:02:02But you thought it.
00:02:05Admit it.
00:02:15Elizabeth!
00:02:17Margaret!
00:02:18Come inside!
00:02:20This is Windsor Castle.
00:02:23There follows an important announcement
00:02:25from His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:02:28A few hours ago, I discharged my last duty
00:02:33as king and emperor.
00:02:39And now that I have been succeeded by my brother,
00:02:43the Duke of York,
00:02:46my first words must be to declare my allegiance to him.
00:02:53This I do with all my heart.
00:02:57Come along.
00:02:58You all know the reasons which have impelled me
00:03:00to renounce the throne.
00:03:03I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden
00:03:06of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king,
00:03:11as I would wish to do without the help and support
00:03:18of the woman I love.
00:03:21This decision has been made less difficult to me
00:03:24by the sure knowledge that my brother has one matchless blessing
00:03:29enjoyed by so many of you
00:03:33and not bestowed on me.
00:03:37A happy home with his wife and children.
00:03:43And now we all have a new king.
00:03:47I wish him and you, his people,
00:03:51happiness and prosperity.
00:03:55With all my heart.
00:03:58God bless you all.
00:04:01God save the king.
00:04:23The Old Canaveral
00:04:47Bluebirdhay
00:04:52Something
00:04:53Healthy
00:04:53is Amazing
00:06:22All right, Charles.
00:06:23All right.
00:06:31Good luck, darling.
00:06:36And thank you for all this.
00:06:39It looks splendid.
00:06:41This is the first proper home I've ever heard.
00:06:45Good luck, man.
00:11:56His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:12:17Your Mama.
00:12:40Poor Bertie.
00:12:43So young.
00:12:46One can only be thankful for all the years one had him.
00:12:53So wonderfully thoughtful and caring.
00:12:57An angel to his mother, wife and children.
00:13:02I honestly believe he never thought of himself at all.
00:13:07He really was the perfect son.
00:13:15I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you.
00:13:20You've been very much in her thoughts and prayers.
00:13:23Ours?
00:13:25You'd be wise not to mention that woman's name for the next few days.
00:13:28I mention no name.
00:13:30The implication was enough.
00:13:31If you say so.
00:13:32I offer that in the spirit of maternal advice.
00:13:36That you may emerge from this trip with any remaining respect or affection at all.
00:13:54I had hoped all this might wait.
00:13:58I'm afraid not, ma'am.
00:14:03I understand.
00:14:06Shall we?
00:14:09No.
00:14:09No.
00:14:25The top sheet.

00:17:01offers a prime minister
00:17:05refreshment
00:17:06nor a chair
00:17:08the precedent set by your great great grandmother was to keep us standing like privy counsellors
00:17:15and to waste time
00:17:17is a grievous sin
00:17:20if there is one thing i've learned in 52 years of public service it is that there is no problem
00:17:27so complex nor crisis so grave that it cannot be satisfactorily resolved within 20 minutes
00:17:41she's in with the pm now but i made it abundantly clear how important it was that she and the

00:21:42but when you're out there's no doubt at all
00:21:44you're out
00:21:52why can't you just be silver to him mummy
00:21:55let bygones be bygones
00:21:58sixteen years since the abdication and he was close to papa
00:22:02because the man is a monster
00:22:05the responsibility of becoming king killed your father and i will never forgive his selfishness and weakness in passing on
00:22:11the burden
00:22:16he has done nothing for this family
00:22:20and don't be fooled by his obsequiousness
00:22:24the only reason he's even civil to us is because he wants to leech off us with a rich allowance
00:22:29to keep that jezebel divorcee of his in the manner to which she's become accustomed
00:22:33well i've spoken to the lawyers and we have a little surprise in store for them
00:22:40my dear darling peaches
00:22:44they say hell is an inferno
00:22:47what a sunless frozen hell we both escaped in england
00:22:52what a bunch of ice-veined monsters my family are
00:22:57how cold and thin-lipped
00:23:00how dumpy and plain
00:23:02how joyless and loveless
00:23:07the way cookie treated me looking down at me through her dumpy nose
00:23:12it was as much as i could do not to let her have it with both barrels
00:23:17and shirley temple who has the rank now to silence her common mother sadly has no mind of her own
00:23:25but i remain civil because i'm following your advice
00:23:31to keep them on side
00:23:34keep a foot in the door
00:23:37and see what we can get out of the rich at circus
00:23:42perhaps even a raise on the allowance
00:23:46who knows
00:23:48it's the only revenge i can think of for the insult of your non-invitation
00:23:54to drain their coffers to our benefit
00:24:05thinking always of you
00:24:07and counting the minutes
00:24:09until i'm back in your arms
00:24:12your loving david
00:24:15therefore commit his body to the ground
00:24:20therefore commit his body to the ground

00:24:32of life

00:24:46the
00:24:46the
00:24:46the
00:24:47the
00:25:12What is that thing?
00:25:14Oh, I inherited it from my grandfather.
00:25:16Well, as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique.
00:25:21No, the, uh, with an arm.
00:25:23Ah, but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made.
00:25:31They didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon.
00:25:40You are a cheat, Hanover.
00:25:49I realize that beyond these wars, a country mourns, struggles under a program of austerity and rationing.
00:26:00But what to do?
00:26:03It might all appear indulgent, but in keeping the estate and the local community going,
00:26:11we are all doing our share tonight for the economy.
00:26:16So, let us start with the toast.
00:26:24To his late majesty, the king.
00:26:27The king.
00:26:29And the queen that has succeeded him.
00:26:34To the queen.
00:26:36And to our generous host, and the royal house that is now in his name.
00:26:43To the royal house, Mountbatten.
00:26:47To the royal house, Mountbatten.
00:26:57Right, come on, then.
00:26:58You can do it.
00:27:00Kick it back.
00:27:03Kick it back, boy.
00:27:04Go on.
00:27:07It's not going to bite you.
00:27:09Kick it.
00:27:10Ah, it's a Burnley centre-back.
00:27:12Tell me, do you play football with your boy?
00:27:13Well, I get to see him, yeah, rugby.
00:27:15Rugby, chance to be a fine thing.
00:27:17This one doesn't seem to want to do anything but dream.
00:27:21Your old man's struggling a bit, is he?
00:27:24Well, come on, then. Show him how it's done.
00:27:25Right. Come on, then, Charles.
00:27:27Let's give you something to aim at.
00:27:31That thing's been buzzing around all morning.
00:27:34At the top of his choices.
00:27:37Yeah, taking aerial photographs of some magazine.
00:27:40Yeah, is that right?
00:27:41Mm-hmm.
00:27:43It was always my dream to join the Air Force.
00:27:47But Dickie put me in the Navy.
00:27:50He felt the social connections would be better.
00:27:54Doubt it by where you ended up, I say the plan worked.
00:27:57Ha.
00:27:58Come on.
00:28:00Pass it.
00:28:02Not bloody bad, Charles.
00:28:05Not bloody bad.
00:28:17I don't know.
00:28:19It was about three of our...
00:28:27Oh, man!
00:28:31You got a Cesaro in America.
00:28:32Come on.
00:28:33You got a touch.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:34Come on.
00:28:38Come on.
00:28:39Come on.
00:28:45Come on.
00:29:05Oh it's fine. Tommy Lassels comes up to me at the funeral of all places, asks me for
00:29:10a word then tells me to my face. Do you credit it? I come all this way back to this
00:29:16taking wound of a country forbidden to bring my own wife to pay respects my dear late brother
00:29:22and they compound an already traumatic and painful trip with this humiliation. The timing
00:29:28does seem particularly unfortunate. It's an outrage. How much is the allowance? 10,000 a year.
00:29:37The agreement between Bertie and me was that I would give up everything and go into exile and
00:29:42and keep a low profile in return for a pension that was clearly meant to be for the term of
00:29:46my whole
00:29:47life not his. Now he's barely cold and cookie turns off the bloody tap. How dare she?
00:29:53Oh you don't know that it was her?
00:29:55Of course it was her. And don't call her that. Why not? She's fat, common and looks like a cook.
00:30:01Did they offer any justification? Oh that it would appear insensitive for a member of the extended
00:30:07royal family to be seen to be rewarded and live in luxury. Extended royal family. I was the most
00:30:15senior member of that family, the king. Now we barely make ends meet. Every day is a struggle.
00:30:21You live in great style from what I've heard. Perhaps you should take a leaf out of your late
00:30:27brother's book. He was frugal, you know. He was born frugal in every department. And that frugality
00:30:36earned him great favor and he passed it on to the women in his family. Who just spent 70,000
00:30:42renovating Clarence's house so no lectures please about the frugality of the new queen.
00:30:47That was her husband. What the foundling? Don't call him that. Why not? I'd call him by his name.
00:30:55If he had one.
00:31:01His royal highness prince Ernst August of Hanover your majesty. He's here. What? He apologizes for
00:31:09the lack of warning but said it was important. Oh, all right. You'd better show him in.
00:31:24Oh.
00:31:26Oh.
00:31:33Please tell me you were shooting. One day after the funeral. Oh,
00:31:38I assure you, the sport was very limited, and your late son was in our thoughts the whole time.
00:31:47Anyway, in the evening, we gathered for dinner.
00:31:50The food is normally quite good at broadlands.
00:31:53Outstanding.
00:31:54Especially the duck from memory, with oranges.
00:31:57With rum-soaked raisins.
00:31:59Oh, a Prussian recipe.
00:32:01Die Spätzle war hervorgahrend mit Käse und Brösel.
00:32:05Mmm, kürzlich.
00:32:07Go on.
00:32:09Yeah.
00:32:10So, after dinner, our host started to brag about how the royal house would soon be in his name.
00:32:18Nonsense.
00:32:19The royal warden, in 1917, established the house of Windsor.
00:32:24My late husband presided over it himself.
00:32:27But the name Windsor would only be carried by the male descendants.
00:32:31It did not take into account the female descendants.
00:32:33They would take the name from their husbands, which in this case would mean...
00:32:37Marbatten.
00:32:41Well, he had us raising glasses to it.
00:32:44Glasses containing what?
00:32:48Champagne.
00:32:48You were drinking champagne the day after my son's funeral.
00:33:13I come in.
00:33:23I had to see you, come in, I got home last night to find this on the kitchen table
00:33:58She's gone, all her belongings are gone
00:34:05I'm so sorry
00:34:07No, you're not
00:34:13I'm not
00:34:49Do you sue her for divorce?
00:34:51No, I'd lose my job
00:34:54Well, you keep your job, I'll make sure of that
00:34:57It would make me a divorcee
00:35:06But not the guilty party
00:35:10Still I'd be soiled goods, I'd be tainted with scandal
00:35:17You'd also be free
00:35:21To remarry
00:35:28One day
00:35:29One day
00:35:31Yes
00:35:43Christ
00:35:43Hide
00:35:44There, there, there
00:35:45Go
00:35:54Is it this one?
00:35:55Uh, yeah, I think so
00:35:57No, no, it's not, it's this one
00:35:59Right
00:36:01I'm in
00:36:03Sorry, Bargian
00:36:04Have you got a sec?
00:36:05Of course, sir
00:36:05Ma'am, please
00:36:08That's what I want to talk to you about
00:36:13Flying
00:36:15Yes, sir
00:36:15You're an experienced air jockey
00:36:17And I have an idea
00:36:17And look, please
00:36:19Disavow me of it if I'm wrong
00:36:21That to be up there in a plane
00:36:23Is the biggest thrill of them all
00:36:25It is, sir
00:36:32Once you break through the clouds to the clear blue beyond, the space, the silence, the transcendent beauty, it's church
00:36:47for the irreligious man
00:36:49That's what I'd hoped you'd say
00:36:51Where could I learn?
00:36:53Uh, White Wolf and Mayfield, they have a good school there
00:36:56Would you take me?
00:36:56Of course, sir
00:36:57Good man
00:37:01You know, my sister, my favourite sister actually, Cécile, died in a plane
00:37:07Uh, went down over Rost End in a storm
00:37:11Eight months pregnant
00:37:14She went into labour mid-flight and they, they found the child next to her in the wreckage
00:37:22A boy
00:37:24A boy
00:37:53Uh
00:37:58Anyone we know?
00:38:01I
00:38:02I
00:38:04No, quite right, none of my business
00:38:08Thanks, sir
00:38:25You're enjoying this, aren't you?
00:38:32Yes
00:38:37Mr. Caldwell, your majesty
00:38:42Your majesty's
00:38:43Tommy
00:38:45Oh, come in, Jock, take a seat
00:38:48We have a significant concern
00:38:51Which we'd like to convey to the Prime Minister
00:38:54It concerns the Duke of Edinburgh
00:39:09Ma'am, the word has reached me that it is your desire that you and your children keep your husband's
00:39:17name, Mountbatten
00:39:20It is
00:39:21Ma'am, you must not, it would be a grave mistake
00:39:26Mountbatten was the adoptive name your husband took when he became a British citizen
00:39:31His real name, you'll not need reminding, was Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Luxburg of the Royal Houses of Denmark and Norway
00:39:43and latterly of Greece
00:39:51I am an old man
00:39:54Many have questioned my relevance
00:39:58And whether I still have something to offer in public life
00:40:02The answer is I have
00:40:04Which is to leave in place a sovereign prepared for office, equipped, armed for her duty
00:40:15Great things have happened to this country under the sceptres of her queens
00:40:21And you should be no exception
00:40:24Yes, I am queen
00:40:27But I am also a woman
00:40:31And a wife
00:40:35To a man whose pride and whose strength are in part what attracted me to him
00:40:41I want to be in a successful marriage
00:40:45And I would argue stability under this roof might even be in the national interest
00:40:49Had you considered that?
00:40:54Very well, I will discuss it with cabinet
00:41:01No
00:41:05You will inform the cabinet, Prime Minister
00:41:13That is the favour you will do me
00:41:17In return for one I am already doing you
00:41:26I know your party wants you to resign
00:41:29To make way for a younger man
00:41:31Mr. Eden
00:41:35I also know
00:41:38That no one will bring up your resignation
00:41:40While you are actively engaged in planning the coronation
00:41:46So by delaying my investiture
00:41:48You are in fact
00:41:50Holding on to power
00:41:56In which case I would suggest you are somewhat in my debt
00:42:01So if
00:42:03I agree to the delay
00:42:06Perhaps you will consider supporting me
00:42:09In the matter regarding my husband's name
00:42:18And perhaps you could also inform cabinet
00:42:20That my husband and I intend to stay here at the Clarence house
00:42:25Why?
00:42:26It is our home
00:42:29It has just been refurbished at great expense
00:42:33Buckingham Palace can still be where official business is done
00:42:35But our home
00:42:37Our private family home
00:42:39Will be Clarence house
00:42:48Very well
00:43:12He was a little surprised I think
00:43:14Really?
00:43:15I dare express any of you at all
00:43:16But Pa was always putty in his hands
00:43:19I think one should start as all means to continue
00:43:22Absolutely, put a marker down
00:43:23Quite, draw a line in the sand
00:43:26He said he'd put it to cabinet
00:43:28And I said there was nothing to discuss
00:43:29Good for you
00:43:31No, good for you
00:43:32I did it
00:43:33Thank you
00:43:34Thank you
00:44:08I took it to cabinet
00:44:09And as expected the answer was unanimous
00:44:12No, both matters
00:44:14Well she won't like it
00:44:15Neither the snub over the name
00:44:17Nor the move to Buckingham Palace
00:44:19God, it really is the most dreadful place
00:44:22Cold, uninviting
00:44:24But it's the right thing
00:44:26For the young family and the children to live there
00:44:29It's the focal point
00:44:31It's the focal point
00:44:32The monarch's home
00:44:35Do you want me to break it to her?
00:44:38I would be very kind
00:44:40It's the least I can do
00:44:41I've never forgotten the way in which you defended me
00:44:45Fought for me during that terrible time
00:44:50I still think no man should be punished for love
00:44:53And I also believe I spoke for many in the country when I defended you
00:44:58You're very kind
00:45:02If I were to help you in this matter with her
00:45:08Perhaps I could ask a favor in return
00:45:11Well, I think it
00:45:30Put in a word
00:45:32With the young queen for my allowance to be reinstated
00:45:36She holds the purse strings now
00:45:38The family expect me to turn down commercial opportunities
00:45:42Yet cuts off my allowance at the same time
00:45:45And ten thousand pounds
00:45:48It's quite impossible to make ends meet without it
00:45:51That a former king should come to me begging
00:45:57Consider it done
00:46:02There is also a brief moment
00:46:06Before the coronation
00:46:09Where you might also mobilize cabinet support
00:46:14For the one other thing that has eluded me and
00:46:19Knows away at my heart
00:46:21What?
00:46:23The appropriate title for the woman I married
00:46:26No, sir
00:46:27Her royal highness
00:46:28She is after all the wife of a former king
00:46:32She is also a woman who has three husbands that still live and breathe
00:46:37It is her right, Winston
00:46:41I am determined she shall have it
00:46:44I am determined she has shown respect
00:46:48Will you fight for it?
00:46:50One more time
00:46:51I have defended you so many times
00:46:53Each time to my cost and in vain
00:46:58This love for her has destroyed everything
00:47:02It is love, Winston
00:47:07Love
00:47:09The greatest thing on earth
00:47:12Will you fale of an earth?
00:47:19On earth
00:47:20On earth
00:47:31On earth
00:47:34With no fear
00:47:34You have to be
00:47:36On earth
00:50:16Mr. Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:50:24Your Majesty.
00:50:27Thank you for seeing me.
00:50:30Thank you for coming.
00:50:42Well, most of the time we're in Paris.
00:50:44We've been given a house there.
00:50:47Wallace likes to entertain.
00:50:49She's so good at it.
00:50:51So the place is always full.
00:50:55And we have dogs.
00:50:56Oh, really?
00:50:57What kind?
00:50:59Pugs.
00:51:00Davy Crockett, Trooper, and Disraeli.
00:51:06Why pugs?
00:51:07What's the attraction?
00:51:08Well, they're childlike.
00:51:11Need a lot of loving.
00:51:13They have strange bark.
00:51:17Yes.
00:51:18More of a yep.
00:51:19And a lazy.
00:51:20Spend all day sleeping.
00:51:22Yes.
00:51:23They're awfully gassy.
00:51:26Yes.
00:51:27I suppose one can always open the windows.
00:51:35Don't you miss it?
00:51:36What?
00:51:37The country of your birth.
00:51:39The people here.
00:51:41Your own flesh and blood.
00:51:43Well, I would have done if they'd accepted the woman I love.
00:51:47But they didn't.
00:51:49So I don't.
00:51:51So the former king keeps himself at a distance?
00:51:54A distance that was imposed upon me.
00:51:57They wanted me out.
00:51:59And it reduces us all to cruel nicknames.
00:52:04Shirley Temple.
00:52:07Ah.
00:52:09Yes.
00:52:11On account of the curls?
00:52:16And precociousness.
00:52:18And stardom.
00:52:20You flatterer.
00:52:21Not at all.
00:52:23Generally, we're better at queens than kings.
00:52:27In this country, I have a feeling you'll be no exception.
00:52:31I certainly intended to do it well.
00:52:34I did too.
00:52:36Obviously not hard enough.
00:52:40No.
00:52:44You never apologised.
00:52:47To your papa, I most certainly did.
00:52:50Your mother too.
00:52:51I can show you the letters.
00:52:52I didn't mean to them.
00:52:55Meant to me.
00:52:58You.
00:53:03You don't think I'm deserving of one.
00:53:07You don't think I would have preferred to grow up out of the spotlight?
00:53:11Away from court.
00:53:14Away from the scrutiny and the visibility.
00:53:20A simpler life.
00:53:23Happier life.
00:53:25As a wife.
00:53:26Mother.
00:53:28An ordinary English countrywoman.
00:53:34I'm sorry.
00:53:36I'm sorry.
00:53:50You might extend the same apology to my husband the next time you see him.
00:53:54Who is he struggling?
00:53:56A little.
00:53:59Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.
00:54:02Anyway.
00:54:04If I am to succeed, then he and I are going to need all the help we can get.
00:54:10Well, I'm sure you're surrounded by good people offering it.
00:54:15I wonder if they're always off in Paris or New York or wherever it is you spend your time.
00:54:22You would take my advice?
00:54:25I would.
00:54:29Particularly now my father isn't here to give his.
00:54:34I'd know it came from the heart.
00:54:36Since I know deep down, despite everything, that you care very deeply.
00:54:44I do.
00:54:54As it happens, there are two issues on which I would like to offer some advice.
00:55:01The first is your husband's surname and the name of the royal house.
00:55:11And the second?
00:55:34There you are.
00:55:35There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
00:55:37Now, please don't react.
00:55:40I'd like to take flying lessons.
00:55:44No.
00:55:45But trust me, becoming a pilot has been a lifelong ambition of mine.
00:55:49And I think I've found a teacher I've made enough to take me on as a pupil.
00:55:55Peter, no less.
00:55:56Peter Townsend.
00:56:01What's the matter?
00:56:03I need to talk to you.
00:56:04About what?
00:56:09They'd rather we didn't keep the name.
00:56:12Mountbatten.
00:56:15Who's they?
00:56:17Cabinet.
00:56:18It's none of their business.
00:56:20I think you'll find it's very much their business.
00:56:23You're my wife.
00:56:23Taking my name is the law.
00:56:25It's the custom, not the law.
00:56:28A custom practiced so universally, it might as well be the law.
00:56:31You can't do this.
00:56:32Am I to be the only man in the country whose wife and children don't take his name?
00:56:35You can't do this to Dickie.
00:56:36It will devastate him.
00:56:37You know that.
00:56:38You know how important it is to him.
00:56:41I've told him the royal house Mountbatten is in the bag.
00:56:44That was a mistake.
00:56:46It's not.
00:56:48The name has to be Windsor.
00:56:50For stability.
00:56:53There's more.
00:56:56Clarence House.
00:56:58Our home.
00:56:59What about it?
00:57:01We have to give it up.
00:57:05The home of the sovereign of the United Kingdom is Buckingham Palace.
00:57:08Says who?
00:57:11Me.
00:57:15I thought you hated that place.
00:57:18I do.
00:57:19We all do.
00:57:23Then why go along with it?
00:57:26Because that's the overwhelming advice.
00:57:28But that's the point, Elizabeth.
00:57:30It's just advice.
00:57:31It doesn't mean that you have to act on it.
00:57:33When it comes from the government, you do.
00:57:49What kind of marriage is this?
00:57:52What kind of family?
00:57:55You've taken my career from me.
00:57:57You've taken my home.
00:57:58You've taken my name.
00:58:08I thought we were in this together.
00:58:29I thought we were in this together.
00:58:44You've taken my home.
00:58:49Welcome, Penguin.
00:59:18My lords.
00:59:21I hereby declare my will and pleasure that I and my children shall be styled and known
00:59:30as the house and family of Windsor, and that my descendants, other than female descendants,
00:59:40who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor.
