00:04:33Let's go.
00:04:36Let's go.
00:04:43Let's go.
00:04:47I don't know.
00:05:17Don't you knock, sir.
00:05:41Jimmy, the mail!
00:06:00I'm going to need to speak to the Prime Minister.
00:06:11I need you to see the kid.
00:06:26We all suspected it.
00:06:29These papers must never see the light of day.
00:06:32Winston.
00:06:33Ever.
00:06:34The publication could do grave harm to the national interest.
00:06:39The gravest.
00:06:42What is written here brings the greatest shame upon this family.
00:06:50Our people would rightfully never forgive us.
00:06:56The GASP
00:06:57The GASP
00:06:57The GASP
00:06:58The GASP
00:07:03The GASP
00:09:06Are those people crying?
00:09:08Billy Graham has spoken to more than one and a half million people during his...
00:09:11What's happening to this country?
00:09:13Now he sums up his crusade.
00:09:14The people of Great Britain never cried during the war.
00:09:17Now they're weeping like children.
00:09:19I'm calling for a revival that will cause every man and woman to return to their offices and
00:09:25shops and live out the teachings of Christ in their daily relationships.
00:09:29I'm going to preach a gospel not of despair but of hope.
00:09:33Hope for the individual.
00:09:35Hope for society.
00:09:37Hope for the world.
00:09:39Turning out in droves for an American zealot.
00:09:42He's not a zealot.
00:09:44He's shouting, darling, any zealot shout.
00:09:46But when you close your eyes, close your ears to God's way, you will soon prefer your own
00:09:52ideas to the ideas of God.
00:09:55You come to a stage where your own evil seems to you good and God's good seems to be evil.
00:10:26You come to a stage where your own evil seems to be evil.
00:10:37Well done.
00:10:53It's me, it's me.
00:10:55No I didn't.
00:10:58Where's your cape?
00:11:12You look very dashing.
00:11:21Magnifique.
00:11:23I don't like it.
00:11:42Oh, no, no, no. I cannot go like this.
00:11:45Why not? At least that way I get to be queen once.
00:11:59I don't like it.
00:13:03And at lunch with people of no consequence.
00:13:06My friends.
00:13:07People of no consequence.
00:13:09I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but life of pleasure really has its limits.
00:13:15Try a life spent living with you.
00:13:22My motto as Prince of Wales was Ich Deen.
00:13:27I serve.
00:13:30Deeply rooted within me is a need to serve my country.
00:13:35I need a job, a purpose.
00:13:39Not this again.
00:13:40Yes, this.
00:13:40Well, where do you intend to find one?
00:13:43I simply have to go to London to set things in motion.
00:13:48Shall I tell you what else is deeply rooted within your family?
00:13:51Delusion.
00:13:52They won't let you in the country, let alone give you a job.
00:13:55That's not what my lawyer says.
00:13:56You've spoken to George?
00:13:58Why didn't you tell me?
00:13:59Well, I'm telling you now.
00:14:01I still have allies, you know, important allies.
00:14:05Disciples of the truth, advocates of justice who could mobilize opinion.
00:14:12Start a campaign.
00:14:15To have a former king be forgiven.
00:14:30Finally, there's a request, ma'am, from the government for you to open the new airport at Gatwick.
00:14:36They've offered some dates.
00:14:38The start of June was best for us, I think.
00:14:40Yes, all right.
00:14:41And that is it from me.
00:14:43Thank you, Michael.
00:14:47Oh, there was something.
00:14:50Ma'am.
00:14:52If I wished to meet Reverend Graham, do you think that could be arranged?
00:14:58The evangelist, ma'am?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:04Well, I should need to give it some thought.
00:15:10One might imagine an invitation being extended to preach at All Saints Chapel at Windsor and private lunch to follow.
00:15:22Fairly.
00:15:23We should have to be careful, ma'am, that any invitation to or association with Reverend Graham not be perceived
00:15:32as an endorsement of his crusades, which would not be compatible with your role as the head of the church.
00:15:41Well, I'm sure you'll handle it all perfectly, Michael.
00:15:44You had something.
00:15:46Yes.
00:15:48His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor, has written with a request.
00:15:53Oh.
00:15:54What for?
00:15:56To be allowed to enter the country.
00:15:58Denied.
00:15:59To research a book which he's planning to write.
00:16:02On what subject?
00:16:03How do you truly great king?
00:16:05A guidebook.
00:16:07Oh.
00:16:09He didn't say that.
00:16:11I suppose we could let him stay at Kensington Palace.
00:16:13Actually, he's intending to stay with his friend, Major Metcalfe.
00:16:16Fruity?
00:16:17But doesn't he live in Surrey?
00:16:18Sussex, I believe.
00:16:20Oh, that's quite good.
00:16:21Out of the public eye.
00:16:22The further the better, if you ask me.
00:16:26So, that is a yes.
00:16:28No.
00:16:28Yes.
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Yes.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34Let him come.
00:16:36Ma'am.
00:16:52Good morning.
00:16:53Good morning, sir.
00:16:56Uh, did you finish that paper?
00:16:58Yes, sir.
00:17:00This one's for Mr. Sweet.
00:17:01This one for...
00:17:02Good morning, Margaret.
00:17:03Good morning, sir.
00:17:05Monsieur...
00:17:05All bad?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:09Good morning, sir.
00:17:17Yes, sir.
00:17:29Take a look at this.
00:17:32it's practically an injunction
00:17:34sir
00:17:38are you aware of this
00:17:45I am
00:17:46as historians we have a duty
00:17:48to publish the truth
00:17:50no exceptions
00:17:52otherwise what are we all doing
00:17:55protecting Nazis
00:17:56protecting something else
00:17:59my hands are tied but his are not
00:18:02that's right
00:18:03I have access to the US State Department
00:18:06duplicate files including this
00:18:09there's nothing
00:18:10to stop the American government publishing
00:18:12if the British government won't
00:18:25my dearest
00:18:26darling peaches
00:18:27let us hope the rest of the trip
00:18:30is not as miserable as the journey
00:18:31it was a most disagreeable crossing
00:18:34due to bad weather
00:18:36the company on the boat
00:18:38was dreadful too
00:18:39common and uninteresting people
00:18:41pestering me to join them for drinks
00:18:43or play cards
00:18:47on arrival in London
00:18:49my mood was lifted slightly
00:18:51by a large group of welcoming supporters
00:18:53who cheered my name
00:18:55and removed their hats
00:18:58and my niece
00:18:59the queen
00:19:00sent me one of the hearses
00:19:07later in the evening
00:19:08later in the evening
00:19:08I feared things would go from bad to worse
00:19:11as we arrived at Fruity's rather drab little house
00:19:14somewhere in Sussex
00:19:27but George excelled as ever
00:19:30and revealed the work he had already done
00:19:32of course the true purpose of the visit
00:19:34can't be known to anybody
00:19:35should anyone get wind of any job hunting
00:19:38by his royal highness
00:19:39it might be seen as a violation of the agreement
00:19:42made after the application
00:19:44and his royal highness might find himself
00:19:46not only being asked to leave the country
00:19:48but also without a pension
00:19:51so
00:19:52this trip must be perceived
00:19:54first and foremost
00:19:55as a literary one
00:19:56I trust you came prepared
00:19:58I brought quill and ink
00:20:02all that notwithstanding
00:20:04I've started a campaign
00:20:07gathering friends and supporters
00:20:09and the only indications are most encouraging
00:20:11Walter Monkton has agreed to host a dinner
00:20:14and we've had yeses from Lord Salisbury
00:20:17Lord Beaverbrook
00:20:17Lord Dudley
00:20:18the American ambassador
00:20:20and the foreign secretary
00:20:22Selwyn Lloyd
00:20:23oh
00:20:24Cecil Beaton and Noel Coward
00:20:26have agreed to hold
00:20:27a little supper party for you
00:20:28oh dear Cecil
00:20:31and his inedible food
00:20:33just a small hand
00:20:35just a small hand
00:20:35just a small hand
00:20:59do we really have to do this
00:21:01indulge me
00:21:02indulge me
00:21:02I'm interested
00:21:06can you just make up an excuse
00:21:07and say I'm off sinning somewhere
00:21:09no
00:21:15lanky bugger
00:21:16lanky bugger isn't he
00:21:17I think he's rather handsome
00:21:19door-to-door salesman in a hideous shiny suit
00:21:23where's his box
00:21:24a box
00:21:25a box
00:21:25the one containing his brushes
00:21:27oh no look
00:21:28come on
00:21:29I'll be late
00:21:29airbrushes
00:21:30floorbrushes
00:21:32toothbrushes
00:21:32do shut up
00:21:34as I was thinking about what to preach about today
00:21:37I considered various topics
00:21:40which speak to me personally
00:21:41but I thought that I would start
00:21:43with a simple question
00:21:46what is a Christian?
00:21:49the Bible tells us
00:21:51Colossians 127 says
00:21:53that a Christian
00:21:54is a person
00:21:55in whom Christ dwells
00:21:58it's Christ in you
00:22:00the hope of glory
00:22:02it means
00:22:03that you have a personal relationship
00:22:06with the Lord Jesus Christ
00:22:08that encounter
00:22:09has taken place
00:22:10you have received Christ
00:22:13as Savior
00:22:15and that
00:22:16is what a Christian is
00:22:26I enjoyed that very much
00:22:28you do speak with such wonderful
00:22:30clarity and certainty
00:22:32I find it very reassuring
00:22:35and it's not only me
00:22:37the rest of the country
00:22:39too I imagine
00:22:40yes
00:22:41we've been surprised ourselves
00:22:43at the turnout
00:22:44really?
00:22:45mhm
00:22:45well you shouldn't be
00:22:47in an increasingly complex world
00:22:49we all need certainty
00:22:51and you provide it
00:22:52oh that's not me
00:22:53scriptures
00:22:54provide
00:22:56yes but
00:22:57you illuminate them
00:22:59so well
00:23:01the great joy
00:23:03that I felt today
00:23:04was that of being
00:23:04a simple congregant
00:23:06being taught
00:23:08being led
00:23:09you see as head
00:23:10of the Anglican church
00:23:11in terms of rank
00:23:12even the
00:23:13great archbishops
00:23:14of York and Canterbury
00:23:16are below me
00:23:18above me
00:23:18there is only God
00:23:20well that must be lonely
00:23:21sometimes
00:23:22yes it is
00:23:26which is why
00:23:27it's lovely
00:23:28as queen
00:23:29to be able to
00:23:30just disappear
00:23:31and be
00:23:34a simple Christian
00:23:37yes
00:23:40above all things
00:23:42I do think of myself
00:23:43as just a simple Christian
00:23:47it's the values
00:23:48of Christian living
00:23:49that root me
00:23:51guide me
00:23:53define me
00:24:00have you always been
00:24:01such a good speaker
00:24:02I was actually
00:24:04a shy child
00:24:05no
00:24:07speaking as a shy child
00:24:09myself
00:24:09I have to say
00:24:10that I find that
00:24:11very hard to believe
00:24:12no ma'am
00:24:13it's true
00:24:15the first time
00:24:16I've spoken public
00:24:18I was 12 years old
00:24:19at school
00:24:20the school principal
00:24:22told my mother
00:24:23he thought I was a natural
00:24:25that of all things
00:24:27I had a gift
00:24:51in the community
00:24:57I was a 小捷
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:29I don't have an objection to his being.
00:25:32The word crusades troubles me.
00:25:38If the Reverend Graham is the crusader, the implication is that we're heathen.
00:25:44I'm sure I go wrong.
00:25:46Mr. Wheeler-Bennett, sir.
00:25:50Excuse me.
00:25:55Prime Minister, thank you for seeing me.
00:25:57He didn't give me much choice.
00:25:59Matter of the greatest urgency.
00:26:03Your team of troublesome historians.
00:26:05Committed historians.
00:26:07Principled historians.
00:26:10Is that the file in question?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Let's make a start.
00:26:22Ah, there you are.
00:26:23Plotters all.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:25Your Royal Highness.
00:26:26Are the curtains drawn as treason abound?
00:26:29George, thank you so much.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:32Sir.
00:26:33Dear Bob.
00:26:34Hello, sir.
00:26:35I'm very well.
00:26:36Water, thank you so much.
00:26:38We all know why we're here tonight.
00:26:41To see if we can help our dear friend, His Royal Highness, in his quest to find...
00:26:49A final act to this sad drama.
00:26:53And to turn it into a great history play.
00:26:56He seeks a job.
00:26:57A purpose.
00:26:59Well, that's why I'm here.
00:27:01To ask you all my council of war.
00:27:05My brains trust of politicians, artists, and philosophers.
00:27:11Something in the military, perhaps?
00:27:12Well, why not?
00:27:13I was made a major general attached to the British military mission in France at the beginning of the war.
00:27:19In a liaising role between us and the French.
00:27:21And I much enjoyed it.
00:27:23Or a position within the Board of Trade.
00:27:25Well, what kind of position?
00:27:27Helping promote Britain's economic interests abroad.
00:27:32Yes.
00:27:33The right man in the right position could contribute so much to Britain's economy.
00:27:38Helping boost our much-needed dollar reserves.
00:27:40A man with charm, contacts, influence, and the magic of being a former king.
00:27:49Doesn't it all feel a little grubby, Walter?
00:27:52All those grasping international businessmen.
00:27:55The whiff of profit and self-interest.
00:27:58Now, I like the direction we were heading earlier.
00:28:00The idea of a liaison post.
00:28:02Then what about the diplomatic service?
00:28:04Oh, I like that idea.
00:28:06Don't the Americans have these unofficial roving ambassadors nowadays?
00:28:12Yes, they're two in London at the moment.
00:28:16Oh, well, something like that would be ideal.
00:28:18Well, I think we have.
00:28:19My dearest darling Peaches, what a wait is off my mind.
00:28:26Moncton really did come up with the goods, and his friends really do seem to want to help me.
00:28:32Now all I must do is wait, while they discreetly make representations on my behalf.
00:28:39I would say wait and pray, but all taste for prayer has left me, as I survey the madness involving
00:28:47the American evangelist here.
00:28:49What has happened to the people of this country, turning like lemmings to this crusading showman from Charlotte for their
00:28:58inspiration?
00:29:00Rumour reached me that Shirley Temple even invited the fool to preach at Windsor Chapel.
00:29:06Can you imagine the banality of those exchanges?
00:29:11The smugness, self-congratulation, and hypocrisy.
00:29:15What a grotesque occasion that must have been.
00:29:19Well, now bed calls, and for once, as my head hits the pillow without yours beside me, I can truthfully
00:29:27say, all is well.
00:29:30Today is a day worth living.
00:29:32Your loving husband, David.
00:29:41Good morning, sir.
00:29:42You might be ready.
00:29:43Ready for your hour, sir.
00:29:49I received a visit yesterday afternoon from John Wheeler Bennet, the senior historian in charge of publishing the German war
00:29:58files,
00:29:59who informed me that this government was now left with no choice but to publish certain material,
00:30:07which both my predecessor, Winston Churchill, and yours, your late father, tried to suppress.
00:30:13What material?
00:30:15The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:27The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:28The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:32The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:35The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:37The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:38The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:39The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:40The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:42The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:44The Marburg files, ma'am.
00:30:58This was always going to come back to haunt us.
00:31:06Shortly after the war ended,
00:31:10some British troops...
00:31:13American.
00:31:17American troops arrested a German soldier as he was retreating from Trefurt near Eisenhower in central Germany.
00:31:30I don't remember the soldier's name.
00:31:33Bernhard von Lersch.
00:31:37Turns out this soldier was Hitler's personal translator.
00:31:44The assistant to Hitler's personal translator man,
00:31:47Hitler's personal translator was Dr. Schmid, Dr. Paul Schmid.
00:31:51All right, you tell the story, Michael.
00:31:54Please.
00:31:56Thank you, ma'am.
00:32:02When his offices were being evacuated,
00:32:09Dr. Schmid
00:32:11asked his assistant, von Lersch,
00:32:15to dispose of all the top secret papers
00:32:17which he had placed in archives.
00:32:21And von Lersch duly burned.
00:32:24The vast majority.
00:32:29But he secretly kept the most valuable material,
00:32:35hoping to use it to negotiate his freedom
00:32:38and to escape trial.
00:33:05Among the papers which von Lersch kept back,
00:33:08there was one file pertaining to Anglo-German relations.
00:33:12In particular, the relationship of Nazi High Command
00:33:15with His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor.
00:33:21I think it's fair to say
00:33:23the reality exceeded even our worst fears.
00:33:28We did everything we could to contain this.
00:33:30That's your lot?
00:33:31I'm unaware that a copy had been sent to the Americans.
00:33:39Who are now insisting
00:33:41that this volume of Marburg files
00:33:45be published.
00:33:48And this is the man
00:33:49you inexplicably let back into the country.
00:33:58I hope you have a strong stomach.
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:14I don't know.
00:35:15Your Royal Highness.
00:35:17Foreign Secretary.
00:35:19Please.
00:35:23You have loyal and persistent friends, sir.
00:35:26Oh, thank you.
00:35:31Following their representations and having given the matter careful thought, it looks like we now have several options.
00:35:42Please.
00:35:43The first option I'd like you to look at would be the role of ambassador to France.
00:35:59To a happy and purposeful future.
00:36:05His Royal Highness.
00:36:07His Royal Highness.
00:36:34My dearest darling one, I met with the Foreign Secretary today.
00:36:38Who has managed to find three posts where I could do something of value and importance.
00:36:44I am so happy.
00:36:46These posts would offer me the chance to serve my country and make a difference.
00:36:52As to the green light, as far as government is concerned, it's a go.
00:36:58Only one obstacle remains.
00:37:01To get the blessing of the crown.
00:37:04Which involves a brief trip back to that miserable mausoleum, Buckingham Palace.
00:37:15Counting down the minutes until I am back in your arms again.
00:37:19Your loving husband, David.
00:37:50The Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
00:38:02Ah, yes. Your first time back.
00:38:10In this room, yes. That colour was me, French grey.
00:38:21So, talk to me of the pleasure.
00:38:23I assume it's about this new book that you're writing.
00:38:27Actually, I've come here today on another matter.
00:38:30A job.
00:38:33That while I'm clearly no longer a young man, I'm also not yet an old one.
00:38:38And might be able to usefully serve the crown.
00:38:43You had a chance to serve this country. The greatest chance.
00:38:49You gave it up.
00:38:51Well, I gave it up because of the way my wife was treated.
00:38:54Not because I no longer wish to serve this country.
00:39:01Anyway, one or two ideas came up.
00:39:04For jobs, which would require the blessing both of government and crown.
00:39:10Of course, before coming here and bothering you, I made sure the support would be given by government.
00:39:16And I've been assured of that support.
00:39:19Support for what jobs?
00:39:20Well, three possibilities came up.
00:39:23The first is the ambassadorship to France.
00:39:26The PM and Foreign Secretary aren't keen on the incumbent, Gatwin Jebb.
00:39:31And the second option?
00:39:33Oh, as a special liaison to the Board of Trade.
00:39:39The third?
00:39:41As a High Commissioner working with the Commonwealth Relations Office to protect and promote British interests throughout the world.
00:39:49This would suit me, I think, as it specializes in the practical side of diplomatic work.
00:39:56Entertaining.
00:40:02Well, I'm sure that you do all three jobs very well indeed.
00:40:09But in light of what I've recently learned about...
00:40:13About what?
00:40:15About events that took place while you were in Lisbon during the war.
00:40:20From whom?
00:40:22From state papers.
00:40:23Which state papers?
00:40:25German state papers.
00:40:29Which American historians, supported by the French and the British,
00:40:34are now threatening to publish.
00:40:37And what exactly is in these papers?
00:40:41Letters.
00:40:42And telegrams.
00:40:45Communications detailing your relationship with Nazi High Command.
00:40:50Well, it's utter nonsense.
00:40:53In one telegram from 1940, it states that you were considering publicly going against the government and pledging your support
00:41:01for peace with Germany, thereby breaking with my father, the king.
00:41:05In another, it says that in return for your support, the German government offered you a home in Spain where
00:41:11you could wait out the rest of the war in peace and safety while your countrymen gave their lives.
00:41:17I went to the Bahamas as the British government instructed.
00:41:21Yes, you were instructed to go to the Bahamas because of your views.
00:41:27In these papers, you're quoted as saying that the Führer's desire for peace was in complete agreement with your own
00:41:36point of view.
00:41:46You were too young to remember.
00:41:48I, alas, not.
00:41:52Hitler and his henchmen were once our friends.
00:41:56As king, I was committed to the idea, passionately committed, that England and Germany should never be enemies again after
00:42:06the horrors of the Great War.
00:42:07People forget.
00:42:09There was no indication of who Hitler would become.
00:42:14You could argue that we were the ones that made a monster of him by refusing to be his allies.
00:42:20This is the point.
00:42:22People make stands, they grandstands, pat themselves on the back for their great virtue.
00:42:28And what is the consequence?
00:42:30Another grotesque war, millions more dead, when peace was all that mattered to me.
00:42:39In that spirit, I am asking you to make peace with me today.
00:42:48Elizabeth, the British are a sensible people.
00:42:51They will never believe these claims against me.
00:42:55They will dismiss these papers for what they are.
00:43:01Baseless rumours and German propaganda.
00:43:24Everything alright?
00:43:29Can I ask your opinion?
00:43:32Of course.
00:43:33What about?
00:43:35Forgiveness.
00:43:37God, what have I done now?
00:43:40No, not you.
00:43:43Uncle David.
00:43:44it. I think it's time that he'd be forgiven. Are you mad? You can't forgive that man. Why
00:43:51not? What he did to this country. Those were different times. He's explained all that to
00:43:58me. I bet he did. Philip, forgiveness is very important to me. It's not often I say this,
00:44:08so perhaps if I do, you will take it seriously. Ask Tommy Lassels to come and see you. What?
00:44:24And tell him of your proposed course of action. I can't keep summoning him like that. Why not?
00:44:30Well, he's retired for one thing. Go and see him in an unofficial capacity for sherry or tea
00:44:37or human blood, whatever that monster drinks, and ask him about your uncle. He was his private
00:44:44secretary while he was king. He knows everything there is to know.
00:45:26your majesty. Tommy, it's terribly inconvenient.
00:45:34Ah, you're mid-battle. Yes, ma'am.
00:45:40Now, don't say anything. Ah, yes, those uniforms. 19th century. Yes. And that standard is Duke
00:45:50of Wellington. Very good, ma'am. So is Waterloo. Salamanca. Ah. Oh. And these?
00:46:01Troops of Sir Edward Pakenham's 3rd Infantry Division. Very lovely. Did you have them made?
00:46:08A gift, ma'am. From your grandfather when I was in his service.
00:46:12Oh. Shall we, ma'am? Yes.
00:46:25I'm proposing to let the Duke of Windsor back into public life, and as an example of a Christian
00:46:32in a Christian country, to forgive? Your majesty, that would, in my view, be a mistake.
00:46:48Why? Before you make your decision, ma'am, I believe you should be in full possession of the facts.
00:46:56I've read the Marburg Files. So have I. I said full possession.
00:47:04You mean there's more? Yes, ma'am.
00:47:09The Duke of Windsor made his loyalties clear as soon as he became king. Surrounded himself with a new
00:47:16breed of courtier. Men such as Karl, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, a renowned Nazi. He also shared classified
00:47:25allied documents with the Duchess of Windsor, who was herself, we believe, sharing a bed,
00:47:32forgive me, ma'am, with the German ambassador, Herr Ribbentrop.
00:47:54It became so bad that the government had to stop putting secret and sensitive papers in his red box.
00:48:00But we needn't have worried. Because then we had the application.
00:48:09It was the first time of the time.
00:48:10Having promised to retire from public life, we now know that he had no such intention.
00:48:15Why else would the pair of them decide to visit Hitler in Germany?
00:48:29The Fuhrer labelled the trip an unofficial state visit. So it is unsurprising that it was on that same trip
00:48:36at the home of Herr Hess that the plan was hatched.
00:48:43A plan to reinstate the Duke of Windsor as King of England,
00:48:50effectively betraying and dethroning your dear late father in return for German forces being given free
00:48:58reign across Europe. German troops were even promised to quell a colonial rebellion,
00:49:05if necessary. And there were visits to SS training schools and early versions of the concentration camps.
00:49:13Now, of course, the full horrors were yet to come. Nonetheless, he visited.
00:49:27He visited.
00:49:27Shall I continue, ma'am?
00:49:34When a German aircraft crashed in Belgium, carrying Hitler's entire military plan for the invasion of
00:49:40France, the Duke wasted no time in letting his Nazi friends know that Allied forces had indeed
00:49:47recovered this priceless information, which gave Germany time to change its plans.
00:49:54And in less than a month, Paris fell to German occupation.
00:50:00But perhaps worst of all, the Duke told the German government that resolve in the United Kingdom in
00:50:07the face of the German aerial bombardment was weakening, and that continued bombing,
00:50:13that is, the continued slaughter of his fellow countrymen and former subjects, would, I quote,
00:50:20soon make Britain ready for peace.
00:50:36To be continued...
00:50:50To be continued...
00:50:54in one three-letter word, S-I-N, sin.
00:51:01From Psalm 58, the wicked are estranged from the womb.
00:51:06They go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
00:51:10God looks deep down inside.
00:51:14God sees how you really are down inside.
00:51:18Now, you may be out with Legion T.
00:51:20We have found you, a cult, a churchman, a good standing in the community,
00:51:25but it's your heart, the heart of God.
00:51:34I've had a chance to think about your request to serve your country.
00:51:40I was keen to help you, and weighing it all up.
00:51:45The amount of time that has passed.
00:51:49From my affection for you, personally, all spoke in its favor.
00:51:55But?
00:52:00But, on balance?
00:52:04I think not.
00:52:08And I'm sure you don't need reminding
00:52:09that under the terms of the agreement reached after the abdication,
00:52:13you are permitted to return to the United Kingdom
00:52:15only at the pleasure and invitation of the Sovereign.
00:52:20Yes?
00:52:22I find myself unable to grant that permission.
00:52:29And who has fed you this poison?
00:52:32Your mother?
00:52:34No.
00:52:37Tommy Lassell's?
00:52:38I came to my own mind.
00:52:40Well, you have no mind of your own.
00:52:42That's why everyone's so thrilled with you.
00:52:45The last royal to have a mind of his own was me,
00:52:47and that's why they threw me out.
00:52:48Fine.
00:52:50I will go.
00:52:53But let me ask you this.
00:52:56Who has done more damage to the monarchy,
00:52:59me with my willfulness,
00:53:01or you lot with your inhumanity?
00:53:08We all closed our eyes,
00:53:10our ears,
00:53:12to what was being said about you.
00:53:15We dismissed it
00:53:16as fabrications,
00:53:18as cruel chatter,
00:53:19in light of your decision to give up the throne.
00:53:22But when the truth finally came out,
00:53:25the truth,
00:53:29it makes a mockery
00:53:30of even the central tenets of Christianity.
00:53:33There is no possibility
00:53:35of my forgiving you.
00:53:36The question is,
00:53:38how on earth can you forgive yourself?
00:54:15Sir,
00:54:28Good word, sir.
00:54:29On it.
00:54:29On it.
00:54:30On it, sir.
00:54:32Good morning, sir.
00:54:33Good morning.
00:54:39You have to go ahead to publish.
00:54:42Thank you, sir.
00:55:13Good morning, sir.
00:55:15Good morning, sir.
00:55:26Reverend Graham, Your Majesty.
00:55:29Your Majesty.
00:55:33You're very kind to find time for me again.
00:55:39Oh, do sit down.
00:55:50Reverend Graham,
00:55:53I asked you here today because
00:55:56there's something that I'd very much like to hear your views on.
00:56:01Ma'am?
00:56:04Forgiveness.
00:56:08Are there any circumstances, do you feel, where
00:56:13one can be a good Christian
00:56:16and yet not forgive?
00:56:21Christian teaching is very clear on this.
00:56:23No one is beneath forgiveness.
00:56:27Dying on the cross,
00:56:28Jesus himself asked the Lord to forgive those that killed him.
00:56:33Yes.
00:56:38But, we must remember his words.
00:56:41They know not what they do.
00:56:45That forgiveness, it was conditional.
00:56:48True.
00:56:50But he still forgave.
00:56:52God himself forgives us all.
00:56:55Who are we to reject the example of God?
00:56:58Mere mortals.
00:57:00We are all mortals.
00:57:02That is our fate.
00:57:03But we need not be un-Christian ones.
00:57:17The solution for being unable to forgive.
00:57:21One asks for forgiveness oneself.
00:57:24Humbly and sincerely.
00:57:28And one prays for those that one cannot forgive.
00:57:31Yes.
00:59:31We all agree to put aside our historical differences to celebrate the one good thing that we all have in
00:59:35common.
00:59:36Which is?
01:00:05It's you.
01:00:08Not to mention successfully banishing Satan from entering the Garden of Eden.
01:00:14That's Christ's business in anyone's books.
01:00:17So it's a gold star from Jesus.
01:00:20No.
01:00:23And a gold star from me.
01:00:27What are you doing?
01:00:30No.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:31No.
01:00:32Oh, yes, darling.
01:00:33Come on.
01:00:34No!
01:00:47No.
01:00:49No.
01:00:50No.
01:01:00Ah, that's nice.
