00:09Around the ragged rocks, the ragged rascal ran.
00:17A proper cup of coffee in a proper cup of coffee in a proper cup of coffee in a proper
00:30cup of coffee in a proper cup of coffee.
00:48The memorial crowns the royal temples of a king.
00:55His death is called error of pier hazır.
01:07in my capacity as earl marshal i've always invited by one guiding principle
01:11which has served me extremely well until now which is wherever possible change absolutely
01:19nothing do things exactly the same way as they were done before in the case of prince charles
01:26investiture as prince of wales i can see no reason not to repeat in every detail the investiture
01:35of the previous prince of wales in 1911 and to those of us who've not had the opportunity
01:42all the interest frankly to familiarize ourselves with the details of the earlier investiture
01:49a deployment of 15 000 troops a departure class cruiser positioned off the coast of holyhead
01:5621 guns lutes a battery of royal field artillery a landing party supplied by the blue jackets
02:03and the royal marines two squadrons of the camera in the line
02:06he went on and on and what he described was less an investiture and more like an invasion
02:19and the feeling is we have a golden opportunity here to be more sensitive inclusive for the
02:29ceremony to feel less like a feudal imposition and more like the confirmation of a true native son of
02:38wales but my son isn't welsh so gestures are all we have but gestures can be powerful
02:45what if he went there studied there learnt enough welsh to address the country in their native tongue
02:54prince charles is currently at cambridge and content there finally in his studies and his personal life
03:02he likes acting acting acting yes it's how he can express himself
03:15it's a very delicate stage in his development i appreciate that but we're in a very delicate
03:20stage for the union too the security service has been picking up some murmurs ma'am
03:28oh more than murmurs actually growls separatist stirrings nationalist stirrings in a region that has long
03:37felt aggrieved overlooked undervalued and the government's thinking was why not pull him out of
03:46cambridge and send him to wales for a term we think it could be enormously helpful
04:01the government proposed and we agree that you should spend a term at the university there
04:05to learn the language no buts but i'm really rather happy at cambridge not to mention i've just been
04:13cast in a wonderful role i know but i thought no buts but sometimes duty requires one to put personal
04:22feelings and frivolity aside
04:33good that's settled then come foxy come here
04:41why is she never like that with you
04:46vile and cold like that
04:50because i'm irrelevant
04:53i rather wish you would be like that with me it would suggest i have significance
04:58trust me you wouldn't like it in reality i would i'd bully her right back
05:05you fancy swapping then fancy being the year not if it means going to wales

05:41i don't know
05:41I don't know.
06:19I don't know.
06:41I don't know.
07:23I don't know.
07:25I don't know.
07:32I don't know.
08:02I don't know.
08:05I don't know.
08:35Teddy, you know the president of the university, Mr. Ben Doyle-Tollars.
08:41Mr. Millwood.
08:42And this gentleman is from the royal household.
08:50Teddy, we have a special visitor coming to Abyssalis this term to learn Welsh.
08:59His royal highness, his royal highness, and we'd like you to be his tutor.
09:09You're joking.
09:14In case you've forgotten, I'm the vice president of Plaid Cymru.
09:17I'm a Republican nationalist.
09:20You know my feelings, you know my feelings about the office of the prince of Wales, that it's a princehood
09:25illegitimately imposed upon us by an oppressive imperial conquest.
09:32Abyssalis, Abyssalis, is the university of Wales, our Welsh language department is the finest in the land and you, its
09:43best and brightest teacher.
09:45Now you claimed it was possible to learn a considerable amount of Welsh in a relatively short period of time.
09:52That was for Welsh citizens.
09:54We were told you had a certain technique.
09:57Where else would we go?
09:58Well, he could go to Fred Jarman in Cardiff.
10:01He can go to Cairwyn Williams in Bangor.
10:06You can't make me do this.
10:09It would violate every belief in my body.
10:22You can't make me do this.
10:24You can't make me do this.
10:28You can't make me do this.

11:01I'm gonna have to go over here,
11:02we'll get to the next place,
11:03we'll get to the next one.
11:10Oh, oh, oh!
11:12Oh, oh, oh!
11:14Oh, oh, oh!
11:22Oh, oh, oh!
11:33Oh, Cressor, Gimru, welcome to Wales.
12:06Thank you, hello.
12:07Thank you for coming.
12:09Hello, Highness.
12:10Welcome to Wales, Your Highness.
12:13This way, sir.
12:19Hello.
12:20Thanks for coming, thank you.
12:22Thanks.
12:28Sir, this way, sir.
12:39Your Royal Highness, Mr. Edward Milwood.
12:49How do you do?
12:52Charles?
12:55Your, uh...
12:57Royal Highness.
12:58If you don't mind.
13:00I'd rather be set out on the same terms as all my students.
13:06I believe I'm also expected to bow my head.
13:09I hope this will suffice.
13:11I hope this will suffice.
13:17Please.
13:29Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
13:36I'm very grateful for all this.
13:40I hope you'll be able to put your feelings to one side.
13:43I gather you're a Welsh nationalist.
13:45Hmm.
13:47I'm an educator.
13:48Do you leave your politics at the door?
13:50No.
13:52My politics are the reason why I walk through the door every day.
13:56And if I believe, and I do, that anyone deserves a university education, then it would be hypocritical of me
14:03not to extend that privilege to those at the very top as well as the bottom.
14:07But you don't approve of me.
14:10I have nothing against you personally.
14:13But you wish my role didn't exist. My family's.
14:16I don't think of myself as against things.
14:18I'm for things.
14:20For my country.
14:22My culture.
14:23And my language, most of all.
14:27And you think that the Crown exists in opposition to that?
14:32I think it imposes a kind of uniformity that by default, yes, suppresses Welsh identity.
14:36With a ubiquitous Britishness.
14:40But Wales is Britain.
14:43Britain is Wales.
14:45Historically, we always fought together.
14:48Henry V at Agincourt.
14:49Yes.
14:51Welsh men have historically bled for the conquests of your Crown.
14:56And why?
14:57One might ask.
15:00For what?
15:09Look, I really didn't intend to joust with you.
15:12It isn't fair.
15:14You're here to learn Welsh.
15:21There.
15:31Hold on.
15:39We learn through imitation.
15:42Like anything in life.
15:44If we pretend we're something long enough, we may just become it.
15:48Lots of locomotive is going back.
15:51Hi.
15:53Hey, hey, hey.
15:56Good morning.
15:57Good morning.
15:59What the name do you speak out of Ireland?
16:00How is your name?
16:06You're talking?
16:11Do you speak Welsh?
16:13Do you speak Welsh?
16:24How are you?
16:26How are you?
16:38How are you?
16:40How are you?
16:46How are you?
17:00How are you?
17:07Hallelujah.
17:11Hallelujah.
17:12Hallelujah.
17:17Hallelujah.
17:19Hallelujah.
17:28Hello.
17:28I miss Cambridge already.
17:32This place is a bit gloomy.
17:35It's Wales.
17:37What do you expect? Hold on.
17:39Hold on.
17:42Hold on, Charles.
17:47How are the other students?
17:49Short, hairy and angry?
17:51What?
17:53Isn't that what the Celts are like?
17:55Furry and furious.
17:56Big eyebrows, red faces.
17:58Stooped under the weight of an ancestral grudge.
18:01Not very friendly for sure.
18:04I passed a sign on the way in.
18:06Welcome to Wales.
18:08Might as well have read bugger off back home.
18:11It's not for long.
18:13An eternity.
18:14Three months.
18:15It'll fly by.
18:17Cool.
18:17I'm all like, on the hands and knees.
18:19You really are the most terrible Eeyore.
18:23What are we going to do with you?
18:25Getting me out of Wales might be the start.
18:27I'll come visit.
18:28No, you won't.
18:31Yeah, probably right.
18:32I won't.
18:35Chin up.
18:36Nobody likes the misery guts.
18:46And though he be but another student in the eyes of the faculty, I'm sure he'll forgive us this more
18:53bespoke welcome to our university.
18:56And we hope this is the beginning of a long and happy partnership and perhaps in time even his patronage
19:06as king.
19:08The Prince of Wales.
19:09The Prince of Wales.
19:20So, what do you think of our facilities here, sir?
19:23It's quite the archive we have in our library, don't you think?
19:28I confess I haven't actually made it to the library yet.
19:32Not been to the library?
19:36I thought Mr. Millwood was giving you a full, rounded Welsh education.
19:40He is.
19:41I mean, I am.
19:43And like all students, they're encouraged to conduct extra reading off their own bats.
19:53How's the speech going?
19:56You'll be channelling Flewell and Abdrifeth himself before long.
20:00No doubts.
20:02I'm sorry, who?
20:04Llewellyn?
20:06Is he an alumnus or...?
20:12We'll be covering him up this week.
20:26What did that have for her?
20:33I've translated the opening of your speech that the palace sent me.
20:38And?
20:39What did you think?
20:40I'm not here to pass judgement on the content.
20:42You say whatever you like, or whatever they tell you to.
20:55The hardest pronunciation for you would be the word atmosphere.
20:58A wergylch.
21:02It's like a verbal assault course of all your worst sounds.
21:06Scattered one after another like traps.
21:08Break them up.
21:11So.
21:13Au.
21:15Au.
21:19Au.
21:20Au.
21:21Au.
21:22Glide into the aw.
21:22Au.
21:23Au.
21:26Fine.
21:28Let's begin at the end.
21:31Hu.
21:36Hu.
21:37Hu.
21:38Hu.
21:40Back of the throat.
21:41Hu.
21:42Better.
21:43Huh.
21:43I see.
21:44It's like the fricatives.
21:45Th.
21:46F.
21:46Sh.
21:46S.
21:47Sorry.
21:47I know what fricatives are.
21:48We do them as warm-up exercises before we go on stage.
21:51Ha.
21:52Hey.
21:52He.
21:53Hey.
21:53Ha.
21:53Ho.
21:54Hu.
21:54Ho.
21:54Ha.
21:55La.
21:56Le.
21:56Le.
21:57La.
21:58Lo.
21:58Lo.
21:59Lo.
21:59Or in Welsh.
22:01Sa.
22:01Say.
22:02Si.
22:02Say.
22:02Sa.
22:03So.
22:03Do you get it?
22:05And the tongue twisters are my favourite.
22:08To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock.
22:11In a pestilential prison with a lifelong lock.
22:14Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock from a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block.
22:20A tutor who tooted the flute tried to teach two young tutors to toot.
22:24Said the two to the tutor, is it harder to toot or to teach two young tutors to toot?
22:28What are to do to die today at a minute or two to two?
22:30A thing distinctly hard to say but a harder thing to do.
22:33For they'll beat it at two at two today, a rat-a-tat-tat at two, and the dragon will
22:37come when he hears the drum
22:37at a minute or two at two today, at a minute or two today.
22:57I understand it's all a bit of fun for you.
23:01That was clear last night.
23:03Where is the library? Who is Llewellyn?
23:09Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was for the rest of us?
23:14How humiliating?
23:17The fact you didn't know.
23:26As your tutor, I'm going to ask you a favour.
23:33Pay us the respect.
23:36And give us just the slightest impression that you care about any of this.
23:43Before you turn around again and never show up like the last Prince of Wales and the one before him.
24:17But you can don't go home.
24:21Just don't see me.
24:22I'm sorry.
24:26If you're a boy, I'd be proud of you.
24:29You all have to have trouble.
24:30It's just a boy.
24:30I'm a boy.
24:30I'm sorry, I think that's a boy.
24:30Let's go.
25:01The principality of his head was written.
25:16What are you reading?
25:18The investiture speech for Charles.
25:21The Prime Minister thinks it may be too dry, too rigid.
25:24And given that it is effectively his introduction to the world,
25:27it might be an idea to let Charles work on the speech himself.
25:30That it reflect him more.
25:32Do you think that's wise?
25:35That speech has been composed by diplomatic and constitutional experts.
25:41Do you really want Charles messing with that?
25:51I adapted my own maiden speech to the Commonwealth, age 21, you remember?
25:56I do.
25:59You were in Cape Town, after they separated us.
26:03Yes.
26:04For endless months.
26:07Hoping you'd fall out of love with me.
26:09Fair chance.
26:15Anyway.
26:17That was you.
26:20This is Charles.
26:23A horse of a very different colour.
26:29Yes.
26:58I've finally made it to the library.
27:00I've finally made it to the library.
27:00I've finally made it to the library.
27:06And now I know who Llewellyn App Griffith was.
27:11The first and true Prince of Wales.
27:15Given his title by the English King Henry III.
27:19Merged a few years later by Henry's son Edward.
27:22Edward I took the title, promised to Llewellyn,
27:25and converted on his own son, at the gates of Carnarvon Castle.
27:30Hmm.
27:31A great betrayal.
27:35But the ancient hope still remains.
27:38A prophecy.
27:40That one day a prince will be presented from Eleanor's gate atop Carnarvon.
27:45And that he will be a true Welsh-speaking son of Wales.
27:52I can't ever be a son of Wales.
27:55But I am working on the Welsh-speaking part.
27:59Hmm.
28:00Good.
28:05Well, I should let you get on with whatever it is
28:08a young prince, footloose and fancy-free,
28:11does up an evening away from home.
28:14Oh, yeah, so I-I have, uh...
28:17I'll most likely just go back to my room, eat there.
28:20Let alone.
28:22Have you not, uh...
28:25You know, made any...
28:26No, it's fine, really.
28:28I'm incredibly used to it.
28:38Dean, as I'm in Shaili, I'm so mad what it is.
28:41Coming.
28:43Kevin D, actually, can I tell you if you've gone there,
28:45but I don't know if you've started today.
28:46Yeah, thanks, please.
28:48Yeah, yeah.
28:50Yeah, yeah.
28:51Yeah, I'll see you.
28:52Well, through.
28:53Yeah, yeah, me too.
28:55Yeah.
28:59Mrs. Millwood.
29:01Hello.
29:02Yeah.
29:02Yeah.
29:28What's your team he didn't give you, Ben?
29:33It's kind of a thing of finger in order
29:40Back in the dear Sylvia
29:43Oh
29:44You know
29:46I've been
29:48I've been in half on them.
29:51What's that doing?
29:52Two.
29:54Three.
29:55Three.
29:57Four.
29:57We've been alright in here. We're nearly up to ten.
30:00He's a very good teacher.
30:02Nearly his bedtime.
30:05I'm sorry, Aline.
30:07Do we miss ya?
30:09It's not a day wish.
30:11It's not a day wish.
30:16It's not a day.
30:19Hmm?
30:20One of his desk you come and I give her.
30:23Two, three, four.
30:24Die.
30:25Tree.
30:26Padua.
30:27Well, a nasty job in that.
30:29Vanessa.
30:30He'll take the ski that we should take every can't.
30:32Go there.
30:33Oh.
30:35We're not staying.
30:36Not staying.
30:40Good night.
30:43Get through.
30:44Get the film on that.
30:45It's insured.
30:59Is that how you met?
31:01On a march?
31:04Hmm.
31:05Something like that.
31:06In a little town called Capuchelli.
31:10I have so many places to visit.
31:13You wouldn't be able to visit anymore.
31:16It's underwater.
31:20I know.
31:23There.
31:32The government drowned it.
31:38a new reservoir to provide drinking water for Liverpool, England.
31:47And so one of the last fully Welsh-speaking villages in the land
31:50now rests quietly at the bottom of a lake.
31:57And no wonder you feel so strongly.
32:00And no wonder so many people want to stop me.
32:08Revenge.
32:09I don't think it's revenge.
32:11At least it shouldn't be.
32:14What people really want is self-determination.
32:17Not being spoken down to.
32:20Dominated.
32:21Governed by those so remote.
32:23They don't even know you.
32:25Know who you are.
32:26Or what you think.
32:28Or need.
32:32Yes.
32:33I know how that feels.
32:56What are you hoping to do?
33:02Do you know how it doesn't matter?
33:06What are you hoping to do?
33:08What is it?
33:08What is it?
33:09What if you think about yourself?
33:10What?
33:13What if it's interesting about you?
33:16How are you hoping to do?
33:16What if you think about yourself?
33:16a thar, a'n gneud y fascus.
33:20Yna i prentyn i'r gweli.

34:36The dark.
34:40In theимости of the atmosphere…
34:42atmosphere
34:47They kindly sent me an invitation to attend the investiture
34:52I must tell you there are certain things. I draw the way that I
34:56Still have my beliefs of course
35:06It was just one other thing
35:10My speech
35:12It was written for me by people who don't know me so of course it doesn't reflect who I actually
35:16am or what I think
35:18or indeed what I have come to learn having been here in Wales and
35:22There are one or two tiny additions. I'd like to make in my own voice which actually come from me
35:27Like what?
35:30I've written them in English
35:33They'd need translating
35:37Yeah, I'll take a look
35:42I'm

36:45We've been encumbered about under the death line.
37:01Good afternoon. This is the BBC.
37:05We welcome you here to this royal principality of Wales,
37:09where eager crowds awake the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales.
37:15On this historic day.
37:19Yes.
37:29Come on, then. Can't keep your audience waiting.
37:35Good morning to you and Moradar from inside Caernarvon Castle,
37:39where the preparations are now complete for the arrival of Her Majesty.
37:43And, of course, the young man who will one day succeed her.
37:53It's a large turnout for the Prince today,
37:56and the mood among the gathering crowds is one of anticipation,
38:00excitement, and, some might say, palpable tension.
38:07You're going to be fine.
38:32You're going to be fine.
38:51A good response from the onlookers.
38:54Only a few boos could be heard,
38:56and, otherwise, the Welsh people show an enormous support.
39:15Two minutes, you're more of us.
44:07Thank you, Charles.
44:08Very good.
44:10What now?
44:11Straight back to England?
44:13No.
44:14Four day tour of Wales.
44:16To visit every town, shake every hand, and listen.
44:22And good for you.
44:27You've done well.
44:32I had a good teacher.
44:47Alice, ma'am.
44:52Charles.
44:57I'm curious.
44:59How did the changes you made to the speech go down with your family?
45:05Well, that's the beauty of having done it in Welsh.
45:08They wouldn't have understood a word of what I actually said.
45:16Who vowed?
45:18Who vowed?
45:22Who vowed, Andress?
45:23Who vowed?
45:24Who vowed?
45:54Well, I believe congratulations are in order, sir.
45:57Thank you, Stephen.
45:58I saw it on the television.
45:59Very, very dapper.
46:01Grand, wasn't it?
46:02Yes.
46:02Now, sir, would you like a spot of supper?
46:11Where's the queen?
46:12She's just retired for the night, sir.
46:16Stephen, might you ask if she'll see me?
46:19Very good, sir.
46:35Her Majesty hoped it might wait until morning, sir.
46:38But if not, she will see you briefly in her bedroom.
46:48Come in.
47:05Is that it?
47:08Is that the welcoming committee?
47:12What more is to be said?
47:15How about thank you or well done?
47:19If we all had to thank one another every time we did anything in this family, we'd never get anywhere.
47:33I've just been on a very challenging post-investiture tour of Wales.
47:37It went better than anyone expected.
47:41You were sent to Wales to show respect and heal divisions, not inflict them on your own family.
47:48I did nothing of the sort.
47:51I've had the opportunity now to read the translation of what you actually said and the inferences you made.
47:57The similarity between Wales' suffering and Jaws was clear.
48:00Was it?
48:01Unmistakable.
48:03Only to you?
48:06To all Wales, apparently.
48:13If this union is to endure, then we must learn to respect each other's differences.
48:18Nobody likes to be ignored, to not be seen, or heard, or listened to.
48:24Well, am I wrong?
48:27Isn't there a similarity between my predicament and the Welsh?
48:31Am I listened to in this family?
48:34Am I seen for who and what I am?
48:36No.
48:37Do I have a voice?
48:38Rather too much of a voice for my liking.
48:41Not having a voice is something all of us have to live with.
48:44We have all made sacrifices and suppressed who we are.
48:47Some portion of our natural selves is always lost.
48:50That is a choice.
48:52It is not a choice.
48:54It is a duty.
48:56I was a similar age to you when your great-grandmother, Queen Mary,
49:00told me that to do nothing, to say nothing, is the hardest job of all.
49:03It requires every ounce of energy that we have.
49:08To be impartial is not natural.
49:10It's not human.
49:12People will always want us to smile or agree or frown or speak.
49:16And the minute that we do, we will have declared a position, a point of view.
49:21And that is the one thing, as the royal family, we are not entitled to do.
49:26Which is why we have to hide those feelings, keep them to ourselves.
49:30Because the less we do, the less we say, or speak, or agree, or think.
49:37Or breathe.
49:40Or feel, or exist.
49:44The better.
49:47Well, doing that is perhaps not as easy for me as it is for you.
49:51Why?
49:52Because I have a beating heart.
49:58A character.
50:01A mind and a will of my own.
50:04I am not just a symbol.
50:07I can lead not just by wearing a uniform or by cutting a ribbon,
50:10but by showing people who I am.
50:19Mummy, I have a voice.
50:24Let me let you into a secret.
50:27No one wants to hear it.
50:34Are you talking about the country?
50:36My own family?
50:40No one.
51:10For within the hollow crown,
51:13rounds the mortal temples of the king,
51:16keeps death his court.
51:19And there, the antic sits,
51:22scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp.
51:28Allowing him a breath.
51:32A little scene to monarchize.
51:39He feared and killed with looks.
51:46Infusing him with self and vain conceit.
51:51As if this flesh, which walls about our life, were brass impregnable.
51:58And humored thus,
52:00comes at the last and with a little pin,
52:04bows through his castle wall.
52:06And farewell, king.
52:16Cover your heads.
52:18And mock not flesh and blood with solemn reverence.
52:23Throw away respect,
52:25tradition,
52:27form and ceremonious duty.
52:33For you have but mistook me all this while.
52:38I live with bread like you.
52:43Feel want.
52:46Taste grief.
52:49Need friends.
52:53Subjected thus,
52:55How can you say to me,
52:59I'm a king?
53:22I'm a king.
53:27And there, the famines.
53:30And you,
53:36as we say to me,
53:39how can you say to you?
53:42How can you say to me?
53:45I'm a king of his stone.
53:47If I have a bad day.
53:49Luck to fight to fight.
53:50coming on the other side.
53:54To be honest.
