00:00I don't know.
00:47Prince Philip of Greece and of Denmark renounces his Greek nationality and all foreign titles.
00:58And from henceforth, he will be known as Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.
01:04Royal Navy.
01:23Philip Mountbatten.
01:26I...
01:31I...
01:34I...
01:41I grant you and the heirs, male of your body, lawfully begotten, the dignities of Baron Greenwich, Earl of Marianne,
01:57and Duke of Edinburgh.
02:00And knight-companion of our most noble order of the Garter.
02:19Congratulations.
02:20Thank you, sir.
02:23Thank you, sir.
02:43I'm telling you.
02:53Thank you, sir.
02:56Thank you, sir.
02:58Thank you, sir.
02:59There you go through it.
03:00I got through it.
03:02I think they'd have preferred a nice pink-faced marquess with a grouse ball in the Scottish borders
03:10Are you sure you wouldn't have preferred one of those, someone with a grand title, rather than a homeless Charlie
03:15Crown?
03:15No
03:17Oh
03:18That would have all been very antiseptic
03:27Must you really smoke?
03:29You know how I hate it
03:31Pity, because I love it so very much
03:34But like a great many other things, I'm going to give it all up
03:37For you
03:39You still have 24 hours to change your mind
03:42What? You think I can change my mind after all that?
03:45No, too late
03:49I've signed myself away
03:51You won the greatest prize on earth
03:55That's certainly what they think
04:08It's what I think, too
04:14It's what I think, too
04:15Watch out
04:28See you tomorrow
04:30Try and get some sleep
04:36You too
04:37A naval officer's stag night
04:40Chance would be a fine thing
04:43Thank you
04:43Thank you FDA
04:44Hey hebrew, bye
04:45Yeah
05:13We've got everybody
06:14Well, I'm not a doctor, sir.
06:16If it's just specked, sir...
06:19It was.
06:20It's probably just the cold weather.
06:23It gets right to the back of the throat.
06:25Cold weather.
06:26That's what I thought.
06:29The carriage will be cold too, Peter.
06:31I've arranged for there to be hot water bottles, sir.
06:33Oh, well done.
06:44It's a great stage, James!
06:46You're making bloody hard going out of this collar!
06:49Sorry, sir.
06:50Ellie there.
06:51Doing it on purpose.
06:52Now, sir, we're not going to let something as small as a collar agitate us, are we?
07:00No, thank you, James.
07:02Sir, eyes front.
07:04Chin up.
07:09There was a young lady named Sally
07:12who enjoyed the occasional dally.
07:17She sat on the lap of a well-endowed chap
07:24and cried, sir.
07:27You're right up my alley.
07:34Right.
07:36There was an old Countess of Bray.
07:42And
07:45you may think it odd
07:46when I say
07:47that despite her high station
07:50rank and education
07:52Your Majesty.
07:54She always spelled cunt with a K.
07:59Shall we?
08:22You're beautiful.
08:23Yeah, beautiful.
08:28You'll be fine.
08:45Here we go.
09:16Yes sir.
09:18What?
09:22Come on Winston.
09:23Alright mate.
09:27Now.
09:34I want to live my party for the kingdom of God.
09:44Praise God.
09:48That's Winston no shame.
09:51It's a royal wedding, not a campaign trail.
09:54It's outrageous.
09:57But you have to admire him.
09:59This poor old Attlee.
10:01He's our prime minister.
10:02No one brought up for him.
10:08No, no.
10:11Winston still thinks he's the father of the nation.
10:15The Lord that said voices, the Lord that raised the prize.
10:26The Lord that raised the prize.
10:30The Lord that raised the prize.
10:38No.
10:41The man who gave away India.
10:43The man who gave away India.
10:44Win-
10:44He goes to the spade.
10:56I knew he's one of them.
11:02It was on purpose.
11:04And there was and there is everybody who really did it point out the stairs that was executed.
11:45Alleluia. Praise the earth of us indeed.
11:55Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this congregation
12:05to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
12:15Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
12:31I, Philip.
12:32I, Philip.
12:34Take thee, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
12:38Take thee, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
12:40Do you know why his three sisters aren't here?
12:42They're all married to Nazis.
12:46Prominent Nazis.
12:47I, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
12:53I, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary.
12:56Take thee, Philip.
12:59Take thee, Philip.
13:00To my wedded husband.
13:03To my wedded husband.
13:04To have and to hold.
13:13To have and to hold.
13:20To have and to hold.
13:23From this day forward.
13:27From this day forward.
13:28For better, for worse.
13:31For better, for worse.
13:32For richer, for poorer.
13:35For richer, for poorer.
13:36In sickness and in health.
13:38In sickness and in health.
13:40To love.
13:42And to cherish.
13:45And to obey.
13:48Obey?
13:49She insisted.
13:50And was disgust.
13:54And to obey.
13:58To love and cherish and obey.
14:01To love and cherish and obey.
14:06Will death us do part?
14:12Sheer perfection.
14:13Your highness.
14:14You have to hand it to her.
14:16It's quite a victory.
14:17There wasn't a single person supported the match.
14:20Not a single ally of court or in government.
14:24Yet here we all are.
14:26Utterly divine.
14:28May we have the grooms family?
14:29She turned us all on our heads.
14:31And barely opened her mouth in the process.
14:34You overestimator.
14:36You underestimator.
14:41When in the past 48 hours, reality has sunk in.
14:45With Philip's family.
14:48Do you look at the mother?
14:51Just out of the sanatorium.
14:53And dressed as a man.
14:57A nun.
15:01To me, we are going to be quite magnificent.
15:09Your majesty.
15:10What is?
15:10Oh, no, no, boy.
15:11I was with such, yeah.
15:12I was with such.
15:15No, well, let me put that in.
15:16I'm done.
15:17I'm done.
15:19I'm done.
15:19I'm done.
15:21I'm done.
15:22I'm done.
15:22I'm done.
15:22That's quite sharp.
15:24Are you ready?
15:25Are you ready?
15:28Refreshments.
15:29What was that?
15:30This present is from me.
15:34Can I open it?
15:35Mm-hmm.
15:36Yes, of course.
15:38Oh, the path.
15:41If your marriage is as happy as mine has been,
15:49I don't want you to miss a single thing.
15:55Liliben?
15:56They're waiting.
16:01Put it into that.
16:08Okay.
16:10Ready?
16:12Are you ready?
16:13Okay.
16:14Everyone ready?
16:17Come on.
16:18Okay.
16:19Phillips.
16:36It's okay.
16:37I'm ready.
16:38We've lost...
16:40Countdownлиз.
16:41Move it.
16:43Code up.
16:45Allow me as a tool.
16:46Where did I love?
16:46determines how much weight has given me on flame.
16:47Raise your hands.
16:47No, I hate the text.
16:49How long is it?
16:49I dropped my push.
16:49At this point...
16:49We want the King!
17:20We want the King!
17:51We want the King!
18:06We want the King!
18:18We want the King!
18:20We want the King!
18:24We want the King!
18:36Everyone inside, we're starting now!
18:41Thank you so much for having me!
18:43Oh, good, you're here!
18:45Right, come on, you two, inside!
18:47Come on, slap it out to you!
18:48Yes, ma'am!
18:50Thank you!
18:58Ladies and gentlemen, pray silence for Her Royal Highness, Princess Elizabeth.
19:02Thank you, Martin.
19:05As I'm sure you all know, my dear husband will soon no longer be Lieutenant Mountbatten,
19:13but Lieutenant Commander Mountbatten.
19:17Hello, very, very, very much.
19:20Which, I gather, involves a whole new gold ring, which is someone she wouldn't form.
19:24Half a gold ring, darling. Half a gold ring, gentlemen.
19:27So, I've asked the two most important people here to do the presentation.
19:37Hello?
19:38Charteries?
19:39Yes?
19:42Ah.
19:47Very good.
19:50There we are.
19:51Good boy, Charles.
19:52Well done.
19:54Thank you very much.
20:13You do love you.
20:15A promise.
20:24Yeah.
20:24The night after this is well.
20:47All right, let's go.
20:55Charles, Anne.
20:57Children, wait, wait.
21:02They're waiting in the green drawing room, ma.
21:04Where's Grandpapa?
21:05He's just upstairs with the doctor, so now you wait with Nanny.
21:08We'll move back in a minute.
21:10Charles, wait. Here.
21:21Mummy, so glad you're here.
21:23We came as soon as we could.
21:25I know.
21:27I'm so sorry.
21:32They're operating.
21:34It's been two hours.
21:54Oh, sir.
22:00I'm happy to say the procedure went well,
22:03and that His Majesty's immediate post-operative condition is satisfactory.
22:13Thank you, Doctor.
22:15It's good news.
22:20All right, mother.
22:21I know.
23:22And turn their walls off.
23:23He'll still be Prime Minister tomorrow.
23:25Ready if you're ready.
23:27Let's get him back on his feet.
23:29We took office aged 83.
23:31We await the announcement of a new cabinet in the coming days.
23:41Good morning, Your Majesty.
23:43Your first day back at work.
23:46Who won?
23:47Who won?
23:49Mr. Churchill, Your Majesty.
23:51By 17 seats.
23:53Go for him.
23:55You didn't hear me say that.
23:56Mr. Winston Churchill.
24:00I keep trying to count him out.
24:04He keeps getting better.
24:07I'm happy, Bourbon, to be elected for the second time as your Prime Minister.
24:17What this nation needs is several years of strong, steady, experienced administration.
24:48Congratulations.
24:49Congratulations.
24:50Dr. Moran's here for you.
24:59Yes, you've just won a general election.
25:05But, 155 over 90.
25:08We can do better, Winston.
25:15Have a look at this for me, William.
25:18In the war, we used mathematicians to decode the indecipherable.
25:22I need an expert to cut through the jargon.
25:27Are they keeping something from man?
25:31Well, I wouldn't be unduly concerned about the man's pneumotics.
25:34And given his age, and he's a slow pat,
25:37control information, it's not that unusual.
25:38But I would be concerned about the bronchoscopy.
25:42I mean, they wouldn't have done that unless they were looking for something far more serious.
25:46And they conspicuously fail to mention themselves.
25:50Instead, they go on about the lung resection which they performed because of structural alterations.
25:58What are structural alterations?
26:01It's what doctors say when they're trying to avoid using the word that it almost inevitably describes.
26:09Who is this man?
26:18Just a little.
26:21One doesn't want to overdo it.
26:24One doesn't want to look ill either.
26:27Sick.
26:31King is no good to anyone.
26:35There must be no weakness.
26:38No vulnerability.
26:43Oh, thank you.
26:45Oh, thank you.
27:15Well, what's that?
27:17An armchair, sir.
27:18I just thought a man of his age.
27:20This one never sees.
27:22Get rid of me.
27:24Mr. Churchill, Your Majesty.
27:31Your Majesty.
27:33The people have spoken.
27:35Your party has won the election.
27:38And as their sovereign, I invite you to form a government in my name.
27:46An honour I gratefully accept.
27:49My dear Winston, congratulations.
27:52Would it be terribly unconstitutional of me to say how happy I am?
27:59I've missed our weekly chat.
28:05Your predecessor is a fine parliamentarian.
28:10A good man.
28:12But, um, well, as company, as a companion.
28:18An empty taxi pulled up at the House of Commons and Mr. Attlee got out.
28:23Oh, quite.
28:28Now you may congratulate me in return.
28:31What for?
28:33My rapid recovery.
28:35Oh, yes.
28:37I seem to have bounced back a lot quicker than people expected.
28:42Yes.
28:44I'm not sure I ever imagined what breathing through one lung would feel like.
28:49Turns out there's barely any difference.
28:52Good.
28:53Good.
28:58Well, probably wise to let the Princess Elizabeth undertake the Commonwealth tour, hmm?
29:07What say you?
29:09Is she up to it?
29:11Yes, I'd say so.
29:15Besides, we have to start breaking her in gently, don't we?
29:20Do we?
29:20Keep one eye on the future.
29:24The distant future.
29:42He's up.
29:43Fuck off.
29:46Look out.
29:51There's some fun.
30:05What's this?
30:06Let's have an affair.
30:08Everything as it was before, sir.
30:10Yes, everything exactly as it was before.
30:12Ladies, ladies.
30:15Who is this?
30:18Oh, Miss Venetia Scott, sir.
30:20A new edition.
30:22A good one, I'd say.
30:23Thank you, sir.
30:26I had hoped I'd seen the back of this place.
30:29Could you give us a moment, please, Chalk?
30:36How is the king?
30:38He talked a great deal about his recovery.
30:41Lots of mentions of bouncing back,
30:44which always makes one fear the worst.
30:47Not to mention the make-up.
30:51He was wearing rouge.
30:54Poor man.
30:59It's cow, sir.
31:02What?
31:07Who knows?
31:10No one.
31:12At least of all, him.
31:15Sir, lunch?
31:16Oh, let's have it in here.
31:19I see what they've been serving for the past five years.
31:23So he's dying.
31:25We're all dying.
31:28That's what defines the condition of living.
31:31Will he die tomorrow?
31:33No.
31:33What about the day after tomorrow?
31:35And the day after that?
31:37The country needs to be led by someone strong.
31:39I'm strong?
31:40You are also tired, Winston.
31:43We both are.
31:45A situation like that would require enormous energy.
31:50And I won't lie to you.
31:51I have considered resigning for Anthony's sake.
31:55For your sake.
31:57But then I realized a situation like that would also require statesmanship.
32:02The party needs me.
32:03The country needs me.
32:05She needs me.
32:07Who?
32:08Her.
32:11Oh, her.
32:14This is Clarence House dining room to Clarence House kitchen.
32:17Dining room to kitchen.
32:20Dining room to kitchen?
32:21Dining room to kitchen.
32:23Oh, bugger it.
32:25Right, check the circuits and up the amperage of the fuse wire.
32:28Right, I'm off.
32:30Breakfast with my mother?
32:31And Margaret.
32:32I can't imagine.
32:33I'm checking curtain fabrics in an hour.
32:36Yeah.
32:41Let's go.
32:43What's your matter?
32:44Buckingham Hits.
32:48Buckingham Hits.
32:57I see.
32:59The Queen has asked to see you.
33:01Yes, we look forward to seeing the doctor then.
33:04Goodbye.
33:05Drawing room.
33:06Now.
33:07Yes.
33:14We do both so love living at Clarence House.
33:17He has all sorts of ideas about how to modernize it.
33:20He really is rather ingenious like that, actually.
33:22Now, Peter.
33:24Your Majesty.
33:25Your Royal Highnesses.
33:26I have to make a decision about Christmas.
33:28Tell me, do you think the King will be well enough to go to Sanctum?
33:32I do.
33:33As a matter of fact, I think it would do him good.
33:35So it's decided.
33:37Will you be joining us too?
33:39Me?
33:41Of course not.
33:42Peter will be spending Christmas at home with his family.
33:45I was the only thinking of Papa.
33:47Given the choice, you know he'd never let him out of his sight.
33:50Well, that's true.
33:52He's quite devoted to you.
33:54Then let me discuss it with Rosemary.
33:56Oh, no.
33:57No, it's out of the question.
33:59Why, Mummy?
34:00Let Peter discuss it.
34:05We did offer.
34:06Oh, very well.
34:08As a wife, I know what my answer would be.
34:10I'd want my husband at home at Christmas with his children.
34:14Excuse me.
34:27I saw that.
34:30What?
34:31No, I haven't finished.
34:33That look between the two of you.
34:37Oh, Margaret.
34:39You must tell no one.
34:41The papers all think I've got Johnny Dale Keith, Billy Wallace.
34:44Mummy and Papa, too, by the way.
34:46They're just boys, whereas Peter is...
34:48No, I quite see the attraction of Peter.
34:51But he's married.
35:09Dr. Weir, Your Majesty.
35:17You told me that after the operation, I might expect some...
35:24sawness.
35:26Some...
35:27difficulty of breathing.
35:30But, um...
35:31You did...
35:32Tell me about this.
35:35The coughing has returned?
35:36Yes.
35:37How often?
35:38All the time.
35:41At the time of the operation, as you know,
35:44structural...
35:45alterations were discovered.
35:47Of course.
35:47The blockage in the lung.
35:50It's time we gave that blockage a name, sir.
35:54It was a tumour.
35:56A malignant tumour.
36:04I see.
36:09But...
36:10We removed it.
36:12We did.
36:13So what is this?
36:15We removed the left lung, sir.
36:18But the right...
36:20has...
36:21fewer, but still...
36:23significant blockages.
36:40So what's next?
36:43Next?
36:49I argued that His Majesty should be told, at the time,
36:53patient has a right to know the full picture.
36:56but I was overruled.
36:58The theory was that if His Majesty felt he'd been cured,
37:00he could throw himself into his work without
37:02undue stress and... and... and worry.
37:21I have two questions.
37:25Who knows the full picture?
37:29Apart from the surgeons,
37:31perhaps the Prime Minister, sir.
37:38Of course.
37:42But not the Queen.
37:46Nor anyone else in my family.
37:48No, sir.
37:55And the second question...
38:02It's impossible to say, sir.
38:05My understanding is the surgeons did everything they could.
38:12and...
38:14there could be years.
38:18More likely,
38:19months.
38:26I am...
38:28I am.
38:30I am.
38:33I am.
38:43I am.
39:10I don't know.
39:20I don't know.
40:03I don't know.
40:14I don't know.
40:33I don't know.
40:49I don't know.
41:20I don't know.
41:31I don't know.
41:45I don't know.
42:03I don't know.
42:20Very good.
42:22Charles.
42:23My...
42:24My...
42:24My...
42:26His Majesty has requested you attend him in his study.
42:30All right.
42:31Urgently requested, ma'am.
42:34All right.
42:35Will you take them?
42:37I'll be back soon.
42:41All right.
42:42Off we go again.
42:51In case you're wondering, I haven't anything specific to say.
42:56I just wanted to spend time with you.
43:05If there's anything you wanted to ask me, just fire away.
43:11Are they a nuisance?
43:14Oh, the boxes.
43:16Not if you keep on top of them.
43:19Even at Christmas?
43:21Even at Christmas.
43:24What's inside?
43:26Everything they want me to know, they stick on top.
43:29Everything they'd rather I didn't know.
43:32Cabinet meetings, foreign office briefings, they tuck away at the bottom.
43:37Which is why the first thing I do, no one is looking, is this.
43:50Oh, God.
44:06Yeah.
44:24Don't you get sick of it all?
44:28I do.
44:30And lonely?
44:34Sometimes.
44:37Which is why it's so important to have the right person by your side.
44:42I've been very lucky in that regard with your mother.
44:48How's your fellow?
44:50Philip?
44:50Mm-hmm.
44:53Well, he...
44:56Well, I'm afraid he's become something of a snagaholic.
45:00A what?
45:02Well, you know we're renovating Clarence's house to make it our permanent home.
45:05Mm-hmm.
45:07Well, ever since he started supervising the work, he can't look at anything without seeing
45:11its faults.
45:12That switch is an inch too high.
45:15And that door handle's wrong.
45:17Well, don't be silly, I say.
45:18A handle's a handle.
45:20I should make more of an effort with him.
45:24Take him shooting.
45:25Would he like that?
45:26Yes, I think he'd love it.
45:28And then when your health's improved, we'll return to Malta.
45:31And he'll have his navy again.
45:32And all will be well.
45:33Of course.
45:36But in the meantime, I'm still not yet well enough to travel.
45:42Not long distances, anyway.
45:45Which brings me to the forthcoming Commonwealth tour.
45:49I was wondering if you would consider stepping into my shoes, so to speak.
45:54That my health is improving, but I'm still not yet well enough.
46:00Well, if you think we're up to it.
46:03You'll be fine.
46:06Where is it?
46:07Well?
46:09Ceylon.
46:10Australia.
46:11Then on to New Zealand.
46:13Bermuda.
46:14And there's talk of starting in Kenya.
46:16Very good.
46:18Right.
46:19We'll be gone months.
46:21Yes.
46:22But it would mean so much to Papa that we do it.
46:25And what am I supposed to do all that time?
46:26Well, don't worry.
46:27We'll put you to work.
46:29My work is as a naval officer not grinning like a demented ape while you cut ribbons.
46:33In the mirror.
46:34What about the children?
46:35Charles.
46:36The children will be fine.
46:37Oh, without their parents for months on end.
46:41Daddy, can you come and play?
46:42I won't be a moment, darling.
46:44If you go and play with Grandpa Pa, I'll be right over.
46:47Good boy.
46:47Well, come on, Daddy.
46:48Daddy's busy.
46:48Come and start again.
46:49At least he's coming.
46:50They won't know.
46:52They're too young to notice.
46:53Come on, Anne.
46:54Quiet.
46:54You would so help in Papa's recovery.
46:58Charles, come back here.
47:00Daddy, can you play now?
47:03Charles?
47:09Yes.
47:11I see somebody moving in the mirror there.
47:13Right.
47:15What are we playing?
47:16You've got any footsteps.
47:17All right.
47:18Come on, then.
47:18Let's go.
47:19And then it's bedtime.
47:20Ready.
47:21Steady.
47:37Hey, you're great.
47:40You've got any footsteps from me like that,
47:41You can't call him like that.
47:42Oh, I know you're part of my story!
47:42What's the secret?
47:43That's why you felt so desperate?
47:44Well, the secret is not to be the secret.
47:46The secret is not to be the secret.
47:46Elderly's office.
47:47Oh, the secret's secret.
