00:07Now, Anne, what's this?
00:09A penguin.
00:10Very good.
00:11And Charles, who do you suppose is surrounded by penguins at the moment?
00:15Daddy.
00:15Yes, that's right.
00:17That's because he's in the Antarctic.
00:18And from there, he goes to the South Shetland Islands,
00:21and then he goes on to the Falkland Islands,
00:24and then goes all the way up here to Ascension Island.
00:28Now, all these are British overseas territories,
00:30and they have to be visited every once in a while,
00:32so they don't feel neglected or forgotten.
00:34They don't get any silly ideas like becoming independent.
00:37Right, you brush your teeth?
00:38Yes.
00:39Good.
00:39Have you said your prayers?
00:40Yes.
00:40Dolly good.
00:41Right.
00:41Night-night.
00:42Night-night, Mummy.
00:45Oh, we might put a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh by the children's bed,
00:49so they recognise him when he gets back.
00:51Five months is a long time at that age.
00:58Oh, what's that?
01:00From his Royal Highness, ma'am.
01:02Footage from the Royal Tour.
01:04How nice.
01:07We might watch that instead of our next film.
01:14Oh, what's that?
01:51Hansen 3-7-4-2

02:22Tommy
03:03Tommy
03:29The Prime Minister returns after three weeks in Jamaica, and here he is now.
03:39Thank you, thank you. It's wonderful to be back amongst you. As you know, I, er, I went away to
03:49concentrate on my health. I'm now fully fit to resume my duties. Thank you.
03:56All right. Quiet, everyone. Sit down. Come on. He's sent some notes to accompany the footage, so I'll read aloud.
04:15Hello, all of you. Hello. Hello, Daddy. Hello, Daddy. I can picture you all perfectly sitting there, wishing it was
04:24Creature from the Black Lagoon.
04:27But instead, this is just boring old me arriving. That's not that, is it? At King George Island. Look!
04:37A hundred miles off the coast of Antarctica. There's your Daddy. Is that Daddy?
04:43And nestled between the white bones of ancient Wales. Here we've made some new friends, and Mike was rather smitten.
04:51He's got a beard.
04:53Yes, yes, they're all grown beards. Makes them look a bit shifty.
04:57Oh, no, don't say that. It makes them look like an explorer.
05:05What's that?
05:06Oh, yes, this is very funny, Molly. We've even installed some signage, so we can find our way home.
05:12Oh, Buckingham Palace. Oh, that's good. I like that.
05:16It's a bit of a commute to the office, though.
05:31Luckily, we found some friends for company, the British Hunting Aerosurvey Teams, who make excellent tennis companions.
05:39Oh, look, they're all playing tennis. Isn't that silly?
05:42What does that mean?
05:44Some things about huskies that you never knew. They have eyes of different colours.
05:49Oh, like the Kaiser.
05:53But most of all, they really, really like tennis balls. Yes, we can see that.
05:58And they have claws to ensure they don't slip on the ice. Oh, look, now, he looks on one.
06:11Joining our family of animals are the penguins and seals who send their love to you all, as do I.
06:22Your loving papa and husband, Philippe.
06:48Good morning.
06:53Tommy.
06:56Your Majesty.
06:57I thought you were supposed to be in happy retirement.
07:00Yeah, I am now.
07:01Well, then what on earth are you doing here?
07:03Oh, dear.
07:05Either you miss the place more than you could bear, which would be...
07:07Tragic.
07:08Yes.
07:09Or there's a serious problem, and you've been called in to help.
07:12Just a routine matter with Colonel Adil.
07:15It's hardly routine if you sent one of the royal cars.
07:19Well, in actual fact, that's my car.
07:21We gave you a car?
07:23You did, ma'am.
07:24As part of the farewell package.
07:26Well, not the driver too, surely.
07:27The driver too?
07:30Was that me?
07:31I believe so.
07:33Well, you've always held a very special place in all of our hearts, Tommy.
07:37Anyway, I must go.
07:39Windsor, ma'am?
07:40No, Sandringham.
07:42Michael's rearranged a few things to me a couple of days off.
07:45Quite right.
07:57You did well to bring this to me, Michael.
08:01Well, I've served three generations of the royal family, four monarchs, and a good many
08:09things to protect them, mostly from themselves.
08:12But this is the first time, Iceland-Durber, to save someone else's marriage in order to
08:19safeguard the crown.
08:20Well, not that we give a fig about Parkers or their happiness, you understand.
08:25Not a fig, Tommy.
08:56Dear Philip, I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed watching the film you sent.
09:02It was lovely to set eyes on you again.
09:06And the children were very impressed by the whales and penguins.
09:11You looked very handsome, I thought, in your wailing outfit.
09:16And a suit, too.
09:20And I could never forget what my grandmother said to me about being married to a man with this.
09:29She goes on, but actually, no, I'm not going to repeat that.
09:32Come on!
09:39I think we can safely say a very, very warm welcome awaited Royal Highness of the King.
10:10Good morning.
10:13Good morning, sir.
10:17First of all, I must thank you for the way in which you've all carried on with us.
10:24And for the manner in which Rab has very competently stood in for me in my absence.
10:30You've kept me informed of all the major decisions that had to be taken.
10:35In all these months, we have been a united government.
10:40And we shall remain a united government.
10:44But we're not a united government, are we, Anthony?
10:48The war you insisted on has left us as divided as Caesar and Pompey and the country in chaos.
10:55There is no petrol in the pumps.
10:57There are no tins on the shelves.
10:58Our allies are aligned against us.
11:00Our international reputation is in tatters.
11:04How adroitly your weathervane spins, Harold.
11:10You were for the war, as I remember.
11:15Only as long as it was legal.
11:19You...
11:21You...
11:21You...
11:22Liar!
11:27Liar!
11:30You wanted it every bit as much as I did!
11:37Torn-off masses.
11:39Scalp with your own fingernails, given the chance.
11:42Taking the oil from that canal and set the Middle East ablaze!
11:46You've lost the trust of the people and of the party.
11:49It's the end of the road.
11:52The road?
11:53Would you willingly let me down?
12:01And would you abandon me?
12:05Here.
12:10Hmm?
12:22All of you.
12:27Come now, Anthony.
12:30You know as well as I.
12:35There is no justice in politics.
12:41Oh, my God.
12:44Oh, my God.
12:45Come on, Anthony.
12:45Oh, my God.
12:53Look!
12:56Look!
12:56Look!
12:59Captain Lassel.
13:02Mrs. Parker.
13:04What brings you here?
13:06Oh, a retired man must make friends with all the good reading spots in London.
13:13What are you reading, may I ask?
13:15Tell me that it's romantic poetry.
13:17Yeah, military history.
13:19The campaigns of Napoleon.
13:23Your son?
13:24Yes.
13:25Lieutenant Commander Parker must be very proud.
13:27He might be, if he knew what the children looked like.
13:31He's away again, on tour.
13:33You have my sympathy.
13:35I know from my own wife how difficult that can be,
13:38being left alone with the children for days, sometimes weeks on end.
13:43Well, I'm sure that strong marriages find a way through it.
13:47I'm afraid it's broken arsenal.
13:50I am sad to hear that.
13:53Might I ask you to hold off on any instruction or public announcement just a little while longer?
14:00As we both know, the Duke of Edinburgh is performing important royal duties on this tour,
14:05and we wouldn't want any story breaking in the newspapers that might undermine his efforts.
14:12Or impugn the royal marriage.
14:17That's what you came here for, isn't it?
14:20This wasn't a coincidence at all.
14:22You came here because you knew it's where I'd be,
14:25and you wanted to put in a word on their behalf.
14:28It's pathetic.
14:30Still they're round-the-clock, Lackey, even in retirement.
14:55Sorry to disturb you, ma'am.
14:56I've just had a call from Dining Street.
14:59The Prime Minister has requested an audience as a matter of urgency.
15:03He's on the train. He will be with us by 3 p.m.
15:37Enough! Enough! Enough!
15:56Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:26Enough! Enough! Enough!
16:44Enough! Enough!
16:48Of course, I asked for second opinions. I asked for third opinions.
16:53I implored them to let me carry on.
16:56But I'm afraid the doctors were of one voice, one mind.
17:01The time has come to put my health above the country.
17:08And to...
17:13To offer you my resignation.
17:19I'm sorry if I disappointed you.
17:26Did I suggest that you had?
17:28No. But I...
17:32I... I think you thought it.
17:38I...
17:40I...
17:44I did think that the decision to go to war was rushed.
17:50And I was sorry to see you lie to the house when you told them that you had no prior
17:55knowledge of the Israelis' intentions.
17:59We both know that to be untrue.
18:02We both know that to be untrue.
18:02But, wrong though it was, I did have sympathy for you.
18:10To have waited in the wings for so long, and to have supported a great man like Winston so...
18:18So patiently, so loyally, and then to finally have your opportunity to measure yourself against him.
18:29To do nothing is often the best course of action.
18:35But I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be.
18:42History was not made by those who did nothing.
18:49So I suppose it's only natural that ambitious men, driven men, want to go down in history.
18:58Or make history by going down.
19:29I do think the time has now come where we have no option but to tell Her Majesty about the
19:34Parker Divorce.
19:35And to warn her that regardless of how blameless the Duke of Edinburgh is, or isn't, in the matter,
19:42that newspapers will be newspapers, and questions will now inevitably be asked about the state of the royal marriage.
19:52I sense trepidation, Michael.
19:55If you'd rather, I can always handle it myself.
19:58No, I'll take care of this.
20:00Try to find a moment on the train to mention Her Majesty.
20:04Good luck, Michael.
20:13Sorry to disturb you, man.
20:15The telegram arrived from Mount Salisbury.
20:17The recommendation is that the surrounding successor should be Mr. McMillan.
20:22Of course.
20:31Yes, what is it, Michael?
20:32Ah, it's just to say, and we could, of course, discuss this on our return to the palace if Her
20:39Majesty prefers.
20:41No, do sit down, Michael.
20:48But it seems that Mrs. Parker, who is the wife of Lieutenant Commander Parker...
20:56Yes, I know who Eileen is.
20:59Um, she has decided to sue her husband for divorce.
21:07Goodness.
21:09Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
21:11Yes.
21:13Um...
21:14And that while, of course, there is no suggestion whatsoever of any impropriety on the part of His Royal Highness
21:21the Duke of Edinburgh,
21:22we should perhaps be bracing ourselves for one or two irritating headlines.
21:27Why?
21:28Whatever for?
21:31What is it that she's alleging?
21:32Hmm.
21:33Cruelty, unlawful desertion, and, uh...
21:39It's your adultery, madam.
21:42We're just aware of the fact that Lieutenant Commander Parker is His Royal Highness's private secretary,
21:49a close friend, and there is this letter, I believe.
21:53A letter?
21:56Written by Lieutenant Commander Parker to his fellow members of the lunch club,
22:01bragging about exploits on the royal tour.
22:06What sort of exploits?
22:15I don't need an answer to that question.
22:18Thank you, Michael.
22:20Thank you, ma'am.
23:00Mr. McMillan, Your Majesty.
23:10Your Majesty.
23:13I gather soundings have been taken, and that you have been chosen by your colleagues as the man most able
23:20to unite the government and lead this country following St. Anthony's resignation.
23:24Yes, ma'am.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Although I fear you have inherited something of a poisoned chalice.
23:35It's true.
23:37The storm is now raging against us.
23:40With Eden's war, we've discarded the moral advantage or any goodwill we once held, not to mention the dire economic
23:50situation.
23:52It would have been quite ruinous.
23:54But it wasn't just Eden's war, was it?
23:59It was a war prosecuted by a government of which you, as Chancellor, were a major constituent part.
24:08I also seem to remember that you were one of the loudest voices in support of the war in the
24:14beginning.
24:17One always has to accept one's own part.
24:21I believe.
24:24In any mess.
24:32Prime Minister.
24:34Your Majesty.
24:53Michael.
24:55Could you ask them to send around one of the cars?
24:58As of course.
25:00Go ahead.
25:01Do you remove any mnm?
25:03Go ahead.
25:04Go ahead.
25:04I'm out of here.
25:23Go ahead.
25:25Go ahead.
25:25Go ahead.
25:27All right, we're leaving.
25:28All right.
25:29Yeah, it's all right.
25:30All right.
25:56All right.
26:03What were you thinking?
26:06You know the rules.
26:08No letters to anyone.
26:12I told Baron to be discreet.
26:17But somehow the letter got back to Eileen.
26:20And now she has ridden to the palace.
26:22Yes, you've noticed of her intention to sue me, Footforce.
26:33Which means you've got that you-know-who.
26:38Yes.
26:40Well, I think we have to assume so.
27:03Good morning.
27:33I remember how we used to do this-
27:35Go grocery shopping together.
27:38Feels like a long time ago.
27:40Yes.
27:49The reason I came here today is...
27:54Because I heard, with great sadness,
27:58that there are difficulties in your marriage.
28:02And I would like to know if there's anything that I or...
28:05anyone else can do to help.
28:07My marriage to Mike is beyond help.
28:11I see.
28:12Our separation has been inevitable for some time.
28:16I had intended to divorce Mike years ago,
28:18but because of the attention surrounding group Captain Townsend
28:21and Princess Margaret,
28:23I decided to hold back.
28:27But that was then.
28:28This is now.
28:32What's changed?
28:35Nothing has changed.
28:37That's the problem.
28:39It just got worse.
28:40And while some women may elect to put up with this sort of humiliation,
28:44I simply have too much respect for myself and my children
28:48to bear it.
28:52I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.
28:53What's going on?
28:57I don't think it's true.
29:00I want to lie on the floor.
29:09Give me another one.
29:12I think it's assuming it's not a lie on the shop.
29:17You know what I mean.
29:17You're gonna fall on it.
29:17It's not even though I know black people around.
29:19I'm going to come.
29:19You know what I ever want in the house.
29:36Don't bury it, ma'am.
29:40Or sweep it away.
29:42It's there, in black and white.
29:54Might I ask you a favor?
29:58Would you hold off your announcement just while we work out what to do in light of this?
30:02I've had enough of favors to you people.
30:07My entire adult life has been favors to you.
30:11You people aren't even remotely aware of the cost of the damage to families and marriages in your service.
30:18I've instructed a solicitor. That's my decision.
30:30Gentlemen, I would like to make a brief statement on behalf of my client, Mrs. Eileen Parker.
30:39Having endured an unhappy marriage for some years now, I have come to the sad conclusion that a formal separation
30:47is the best option for us both.
30:48My husband has shown no inclination or enthusiasm for the responsibilities of parenthood or marriage.
30:58And divorce remains the only solution.
31:02Thank you, sir.
31:07Just my friend and wife, the bride.
31:11Read all about it.
31:13Read all about it.
31:14Read all about it.
32:51I hope you're not going to make this next step difficult for me.
33:08You'll have my resignation first thing.
33:10You'll need it now.
33:28I hereby offer my resignation.
33:34As Principal Private Secretary to the Duke of Edinburgh, active immediately.
33:40Accepted.
33:45You've worked for me for long enough.
33:46You know the rules.
33:48We are how it works.
33:51There is no room for mistakes.
33:54There is no room for scandal.
33:56There is no room for humanity.
34:01I think you should probably leave us in Gibraltar.
34:05Might I suggest a policy of no comment on all counts and especially no letters?
34:13Yes, of course.
34:39There is no room for you.
34:40There is no room for you.
34:42There is no room for you.
34:43Keep my in 200.
34:45You're not good at work.
34:49You're not good at work.
34:51I think you should do a rules.
34:55I think I should do a rules without Called mine.
35:10Get theassing.
35:10With the resignation of Lieutenant Commander Parker, the British press have fallen into line and been overwhelmingly supportive.
35:17But?
35:18I'm afraid the foreign newspapers have not been so kind.
35:24Yesterday, a story broke in the Baltimore Sun.
35:28Where? Baltimore, Mummy.
35:30Claiming that the capital was awash with rumour that the Duke of Edinburgh was romantically involved with an unnamed woman
35:37whom he met on a regular basis in the West End apartment of a society photographer, Baron Nahum.
35:43Nahum is also president of the Thursday Club in Soho, of which the Duke of Edinburgh is a founder member.
35:51Anyway, that story has rather lit the touch paper.
35:55The British press has caught on, with the Manchester Guardian reporting,
35:59Not since the first rumours of a romance between the former King Edward VIII and Mrs. Ernest Simpson
36:06have Americans gobbled up the London dispatches so avidly.
36:12Your Honor?
36:14The Sunday Pictorial, on its front page, reminds its readers that the royal family is loved and envied throughout the
36:21world
36:21because it is a family.
36:23Time magazine has a headline, Too Much Thursday-ing.
36:28It goes on to say, Not since Wallis Simpson stalked the corridors of Buckingham Palace
36:33have the eyes of the world been turned so beadily towards those chintz drapes.
36:53I say we fly the Duke of Edinburgh back straight away.
36:57That's one thought, Your Majesty, and it's a good one.
37:01The Devil's Advocate might argue, and I'd be interested to hear Michael's thoughts on this,
37:07that the Duke's early return, obviously stage-managed by the palace,
37:12might appear too much of a concession to the newspapers
37:15and pour even more petrol on the flames.
37:20I would agree.
37:23And we don't want that.
37:26No.
37:33So what then?
37:43What?
37:49Yes.
37:52The Admiral would like a word, sir.
37:55It's fine.
37:56Tell him he can come.
37:58As a matter of fact, he suggested you go to see him, sir.
38:15Thanks, sir.
38:16It's there.
38:21Thank you sir.
38:27Exactly.
38:28No.
38:41Admiral, could you come in? Come on.
38:45Buckingham Palace has been in touch regarding your reunion photo call with Her Majesty the Queen.
38:51With you, not me.
38:53I'm in command of this ship.
38:56I am her husband.
38:58It's been agreed that Her Majesty will fly out to Lisbon a day ahead of schedule.
39:03As I see it, your instructions...
39:04Instructions?
39:06...are to meet her at the airfield.
39:07I've been quite specific for how the reunion is to be managed.
39:20Thank you, sir.
39:22Thank you, sir.
39:34Let's go.
40:06Tie.
40:11Not that one. One that's fit for an adult.
40:14Those were the instructions.
40:16For God's sake, it has hearts on it.
40:20And the hat, too.
40:21Yes, sir.
40:22I hate hats.
40:23I believe its value on this occasion is not in its being worn, but in its being removed.
40:28Ah.
40:30In a gesture of chivalry and deference.
40:33Before I enter the aircraft.
40:35Before you reach the stairs of the aircraft.
40:59Michael, you want a hat.
41:01You want a hat.
41:28Let's
41:40We'll talk later.
42:02We'll talk later.
42:36We'll talk later.
42:59We'll talk later.
43:02Now the eyes of the world turn towards the royal yacht on which they have sought shelter.
43:09No, Fleur. No, I see.
43:20That was the palace press secretary.
43:25In his view, the steps that we've taken...
43:27The share we've put on.
43:31The steps that we've taken haven't quite done the trick.
43:37The rumours still haven't gone away.
43:49I think we both agree it can't go on like this.
43:57No.
44:15So I thought we might take this opportunity...
44:20Without children, without distraction...
44:25To lay our cards on the table.
44:29And talk frankly, for once.
44:32About what needs to change...
44:34To make this marriage work.
44:37All right.
44:38Who goes first?
44:40Stupid question.
44:41I've learned one thing by now, it's that I go second.
44:45If I am to go first, that's where I'd start.
44:52You're complaining.
44:53My complaining?
44:54It's incessant.
44:55Whining and whinging like a child.
44:57Are you surprised?
44:59The way those god-awful moustaches that run the palace continue to infantilise me.
45:03Perhaps if you weren't behaving like an infant.
45:04Giving me lists, sending me instructions.
45:06Do this, don't do that.
45:07Wear this, don't wear that.
45:08Say this, don't say that.
45:09Can you imagine anything more humiliating?
45:11Yes.
45:12As a matter of fact, I can.
45:16I've learned more about humiliation in the past few weeks than I hoped I would in a lifetime.
45:28I've never felt more alone than I have in the past five months.
45:33And why do you think that was?
45:36Because of your behavior.
45:38Because you sent me away.
45:40Yes, and why do you think that was?
45:41I don't know.
45:42You tell me.
45:43Because you're lost.
45:45You're lost in your role, and you're lost in yourself.
45:49Christ.
45:51Look.
45:54I realize that this marriage has turned out to be something quite different to what we both imagined.
46:00Understatement.
46:01And that we both find ourselves in a...
46:05Prison.
46:09In a situation that is unique.
46:15Our marriage is different to any other in the country, because the exit route, which is open to everyone else...
46:21A divorce?
46:22Yes.
46:23A divorce.
46:26It's not an option for us.
46:31Ever.
46:43No.
46:56This restlessness of yours, it has to be a thing of the past.
47:02It's what I need.
47:05And it's what our family needs.
47:10The monarchy is too fragile.
47:11You keep telling me yourself.
47:13One more scandal, one more national embarrassment, and it would all be over.
47:25So what would make it easier on you?
47:28To be in, not out.
47:35What will it take?
47:40You're asking my price.
47:45I'm asking what it will take.
48:02All right.
48:05To make it work.
48:09To make it bearable.
48:11I'll need the respect and acknowledgement of the dreaded moustaches.
48:15Please stop calling them that.
48:17I'll stop calling them that when they don't all have one.
48:20An end to their snobbery and prejudice.
48:22No more being sniffed at for being a foreigner with a background.
48:25Nobody understands.
48:26Will you earn their respect with your behavior?
48:28No, no, I will earn their respect with the only thing those creatures understand.
48:34A gesture, a statement, something irrefutable that shuts them up and commands their respect.
48:39Right now, I am currently outranked by my eight-year-old son.
48:42Yes, of course.
48:43He's the heir to the throne.
48:54I am his father, Elizabeth.
49:05Her majesty, the queen, has been pleased by letters patent under the great seal of the realm,
49:12bearing the date the 22nd of February, 1957, to given to Grant,
49:19under his royal highness, the duke of Edinburgh, the style and titular dignity of a prince
49:29of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and more than other.
49:36The duke of Edinburgh shall henceforth be known as his royal highness, the prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh.
49:51The duke of Edinburgh shall next two years.
49:52Ha!
49:52Ha!
50:03Ha!
50:05Ha!
50:05Ha!
50:06Ha!
50:06Ha!
50:07Ha!
52:38Michael.
52:40Do you have a moment?
52:42Of course not.
