00:17Ella
00:41Hello, we're listening.
00:44Are you meeting me?
00:45Hearing you fairly.
00:46Stand by for testifying.
00:48Trusting out.
00:50Testifying to the police.
01:06I've come to make a final representation
01:09And to beseech you not to do this
01:12I wish to address my people
01:14It's my right
01:15You have forfeited that right
01:18There are things I wish to say
01:19In which capacity?
01:21You're no longer their king
01:22As a private individual
01:24Oh, no one wants to hear from a private individual
01:26Well, I beg to differ
01:28The newspapers are for me
01:29The best thing for everyone
01:31Would be if you said your goodbyes
01:32Quietly, privately
01:34And disappeared into the night
01:36Preferably never to return
01:40I didn't say that
01:41But you thought it
01:44Admit it
01:53Elizabeth!
01:56Margaret!
01:57Come inside!
01:58This is Windsor Castle
02:00There follows an important announcement
02:03From His Royal Highness
02:04The Duke of Windsor
02:06A few hours ago
02:07I discharged my last duty
02:11As King
02:12And Emperor
02:16And now that I have been succeeded by my brother
02:20The Duke of York
02:22My first words must be to declare my allegiance to him
02:29This I do with all my heart
02:33You all know the reasons which have impelled me to renounce the throne
02:37I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility
02:42And to discharge my duties as king
02:45As I would wish to do
02:49Without the help and support
02:52Of the woman I love
02:55This decision has been made less difficult to me by the sure knowledge that my brother
03:00Has one matchless blessing
03:03Enjoyed by so many of you
03:06And not bestowed on me
03:09A happy home
03:10With his wife
03:11And children
03:15And now we all have a new king
03:18I wish him and you
03:20His people
03:22Happiness and prosperity
03:26With all my heart
03:29God bless you all
03:32God save the king
03:34God bless you all
03:35God bless you all
03:37God bless you all
04:02God bless you
04:33All right.
04:41Good luck, darling.
04:47And thank you for all this.
04:49It looks splendid.
04:51This is the first proper home I've ever had.
05:08Come on.
05:20Come on.
06:24And then?
06:26Things will become more manageable once everything settles down.
06:30Will it?
06:31And once the palace is your main residence.
06:35Our understanding is that he is arriving at Southampton as we speak.
06:40Alone?
06:41We believe so, ma'am.
06:42Hmm, something.
06:48Some last-minute adjustments to the funeral arrangements.
06:52If you are in agreement, ma'am, we thought that the Duke of Windsor should join the Dukes of Gloucester,
06:57Kent and Edinburgh.
06:58That would be in the row behind me, breathing down my neck.
07:02We could, if Her Majesty likes, increase the distance, put him back a few rows.
07:06Any chance I could stretch to being on the steps outside the chapel?
07:09I'm sorry.
07:10No, he's your son.
07:12The son who gave up the throne and effectively killed my other son.
07:24Why not put him there?
07:26Close to the Prime Minister.
07:28Thank you, ma'am.
07:30Crybaby.
07:31What?
07:32It's what he calls Winston.
07:35He and his wife have nasty little nicknames for all of us.
07:39I'll tell you yours if you ask me nicely.
07:42No, thank you.
07:45Shirley Temple.
07:47Shirley Temple.
08:01I'll tell you what he says.
08:19This is indeed a sad arrival in my country.
08:24I have crossed the Atlantic for the funeral of a dear brother
08:30and to comfort Her Majesty Queen Mary.
08:34My heart goes out to the widowed Queen Mother
08:38and the two daughters in their grief.
08:52Let's go!
08:53Come here!
08:54Come here!
09:05Come here!
09:06It's at you.
09:07Well, that's enough. Look, John.
09:17It's at you.
09:20Come here.
09:38Come here.
09:39Come here.
09:43Come here.
09:45To your majesty.
10:03Yeah, my ma.
10:23Poor Bertie.
10:26So young.
10:29One can only be thankful for all the years one had him.
10:35So wonderfully thoughtful and caring.
10:39An angel to his mother, wife and children.
10:44I honestly believe he never thought of himself at all.
10:49He really was the perfect son.
10:56I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you.
11:00You've been very much in our thoughts and prayers.
11:03Ours?
11:05You'd be wise not to mention that woman's name for the next few days.
11:08I mention no name.
11:09The implication was enough.
11:11If you say so.
11:12I offer that in the spirit of maternal advice.
11:15That you may emerge from this trip with any remaining respect or affection at all.
11:32I had hoped all this might wait.
11:35I'm afraid not, ma'am.
11:41I understand.
11:44Shall we?
11:45What do we have?
11:54Thank you so much.
11:57Thank you so much.
11:59Thank you so much.
12:00Hey!
12:01You have a week.

14:35whilst to keep us
14:36standing like
14:37privy councillors
14:38to waste time
14:40is a grievous
14:41sin
14:42if there is one thing
14:44I've learned in 52 years
14:45of public service
14:46it is that
14:46there is
14:47no problem
14:49so complex
14:50nor crisis
14:51so grave
14:51that it cannot be
14:53satisfactorily resolved

15:47for your benefit
15:49entirely
15:51a long period

16:17sir
16:20pour it off
16:21let's surprise him
16:27and?
16:28nothing
16:30we discussed
16:30the end of rationing
16:31of sugar
16:32butter and meat
16:33the situation
16:34in Korea
16:34and the date
16:35of my coronation
16:36barely got a word in
16:37of course
16:38that man barely
16:39draws breath
16:39you have to butt in
16:40you can't
16:41not in the private audience
16:44so what about the issues
16:45I asked you to address?
16:47I will find the right time
16:48when?
16:49why would he do that?
16:50what?
16:51why would he want
16:52to delay my coronation?
16:53what are you talking about?
16:55what?
17:23Elizabeth
17:25We've had our differences in the past, if you'll allow me.
17:32But for now, let us think only of what we have in common.
17:38You have lost a husband and a father, a brother.
17:46Let us be united in grief, on equal terms, with someone we all loved.
17:55I'll be here for a few days after the funeral, before I return to New York.
18:02Perhaps we might find time to see one another, for lunch or a walk.
18:10Yes.
18:11I'd like that very much.
18:21Majesty's?
18:22We must go, girls.
18:23So soon?
18:25Yes, to Westminster Hall.
18:28To see Papa.
18:42In this family, when you're in, you're never quite sure that you're in, but when you're
18:46out, there's no doubt at all, you're out.
18:55Why can't you just be civil to him, Mummy?
18:57Let bygones be bygones.
19:00Sixteen years since the abdication, and he was close to Papa.
19:03Because the man is a monster.
19:06The responsibility of becoming king killed your father, and I will never forgive his selfishness
19:11and weakness in passing on the burden.
19:17He has done nothing for this family.
19:21And don't be fooled by his obsequiousness.
19:24The only reason he's even civil to us is because he wants to leech offers with a rich
19:28allowance to keep that Jezebel divorcee of his in the manner to which she's become accustomed.
19:32Well, I've spoken to the lawyers, and we have a little surprise in store for them.
19:39My dear darling Peaches.
19:42They say hell is an inferno.
19:45What a sunless, frozen hell we both escaped in England.
19:51And what a bunch of ice-veined monsters my family are.
19:55How cold and thin-lipped.
19:58How dumpy and plain.
20:01How joyless and loveless.
20:04The way Cookie treated me, looking down at me through her dumpy nose.
20:09It was as much as I could do not to let her have it with both barrels.
20:13And Shirley Temple, who has the rank now to silence her common mother, sadly has no mind of her own.
20:21But I remain civil because I am following your advice.
20:27Keep them on side.
20:29Keep a foot in the door.
20:31And see what we can get out of the Richard Circus.
20:37Perhaps even a raise on the allowance.
20:40Who knows?
20:42It's the only revenge I can think of for the insult of your non-invitation.
20:48To drain their coffers to our benefit.
20:58Thinking always of you, and counting the minutes, until I am back in your arms.
21:04Your loving David.
21:07Therefore, put his body to the ground.
21:11Earth to Earth.
21:14Ashes to heaven.
21:16Dust to us.
21:19In children's sort of hope for the resurrection of eternal life.
21:35Iron with broad term for steering.
21:36Deeperboel.
21:38These soldiers poke at the soul injure into the battle corner.
21:39It's going to help me Kill them up.
21:51Two men go to breakthroughين.
21:52To find their enemy they just can't run away.
21:53It's going to live in the door.
21:53Now another night is going to a
22:00What is that thing?
22:02Oh, I inherited it from my grandfather.
22:04As you know, Kaiser Wilhelm was not blessed with a normal physique.
22:08No, but with an arm.
22:10Ah, but he loved to shoot, so modifications had to be made.
22:18Didn't modify a shotgun, they modified a cannon.
22:25You are a cheat, Hanover.
22:34I realize that beyond these wars, a country mourns.
22:39Struggles under a program of austerity and rationing.
22:45But what to do?
22:47They might all appear indulgent,
22:50but in keeping the estate and the local community going,
22:55we are all doing our share tonight for the economy.
22:59So, let us start with the toast.
23:06To his late majesty, the king.
23:09The king.
23:11And the queen that has succeeded him.
23:16The queen.
23:17And to our generous host,
23:19and the royal house that is now in his name.
23:25To the royal house, Mountbatten.
23:28To the royal house, Mountbatten.
23:37Right, come on.
23:38You can do it.
23:39Kick it back.
23:43Kick it back, boy, go on.
23:46It's not going to bite you.
23:48Kick it.
23:49Ah, it's a Burnley centre-back.
23:50Tell me, do you play football with your boy?
23:52When I get to see him, yeah, rugby.
23:54Rugby, Charles would be a fine thing.
23:56This one doesn't seem to want to do anything but dream.
23:58Oh, you're a man struggling a bit, is he?
24:02Well, come on then, show him how it's done.
24:03Mike, come on then, Charles.
24:05Let's give you something to aim at.
24:09That thing's been buzzing around all morning.
24:13Yeah, taking aerial photographs of some magazine.
24:17Yeah, is that right?
24:17Mm-hmm.
24:20It was always my dream to join the Air Force.
24:23But Dickie put me in the Navy
24:26and felt the social connections would be better.
24:30Especially by where you ended up, I said plan worked.
24:32Ha.
24:34Come on.
24:35Pass it.
24:37No bloody bad, Charles.
25:02Come in.
25:35Oh, it's fine.
25:37Tommy Lassels comes up to me at the funeral of all places.
25:39Asks me for a word, then tells me to my face.
25:43You credit it?
25:44I come all this way, back to this gaping wound of a country, forbidden to bring my own wife.
25:50Pay respects to my dear late brother, and they compound an already traumatic and painful trip with this humiliation.
25:56The timing does seem particularly unfortunate.
25:59It's an outrage.
26:01How much is the allowance?
26:03Ten thousand a year.
26:05The agreement between Bertie and me was that I would give up everything and go into exile and keep a
26:10low profile in return for a pension that was clearly meant to be for the term of my whole life,
26:15not his.
26:16Now he's barely cold and cookie turns off the bloody tap.
26:19How dare she?
26:20Oh, you don't know that it was her.
26:22Of course it was her.
26:23And don't call her that.
26:24Why not?
26:25She's fat, common, and looks like a cook.
26:27Did they offer any justification?
26:29Oh, that it would appear insensitive for a member of the extended royal family to be seen to be rewarded
26:37and live in luxury.
26:38Extended royal family?
26:40I was the most senior member of that family, the king.
26:43Now we barely make ends meet.
26:45Every day is a struggle.
26:46You live in great style, from what I've heard.
26:50Perhaps you should take a leaf out of your late brother's book.
26:53He was frugal, you know.
26:55He was born frugal in every department.
26:58And that frugality earned him great favor.
27:02And he passed it on to the women in his family.
27:04Who just spent 70,000 renovating Clarence House, so no lectures, please, about the frugality of the new queen.
27:10That was her husband.
27:12What, the foundling?
27:13Don't call him that.
27:14Why not?
27:16Call him by his name, if you have one.
27:23His Royal Highness Prince Ernst Auguste of Hanover, Your Majesty.
27:27He's here.
27:28What?
27:29He apologizes for the lack of warning, but said it was important.
27:33Oh.
27:34All right.
27:36You'd better show him in.
27:47Herr Würdiger Tante, ich wollte nicht sterben.
27:50Ich komme direkt aus Borrefields.
27:52Was hast du da gemacht?
27:53Please tell me you were shooting.
27:55One day after the funeral.
27:57Oh, mein lieber Ernst.
27:59I assure you, the sport was very limited.
28:01Your late son was in our thoughts the whole time.
28:05Anyway, in the evening, we gathered for dinner.
28:09The food is normally quite good at Borrefields.
28:11It's outstanding.
28:12Especially the duck from memory, with oranges.
28:15Rum-soaked raisins.
28:16Oh, a Prussian recipe.
28:19Oh, die Spätzle war hervorragend, mit Käse und Brösel.
28:23Köstlich.
28:24Go on.
28:26Yeah.
28:26So, after dinner, our host started to brag about how the royal house would soon be in his name.
28:34Nonsense.
28:35The royal warden, in 1917, established the house of Windsor.
28:39My late husband presided over it himself.
28:42But the name Windsor would only be carried by the male descendants.
28:46It did not take into account the female descendants.
28:49They would take the name from their husbands, which in this case would mean...
28:52Marbatten.
28:54Well, he had us raising glasses to it.
28:59Glasses containing what?
29:01Champagne.
29:03You were drinking champagne the day after my son's funeral.
29:34I had to see you.
29:37Come in.
29:45I got home last night to find this on the kitchen table.
30:07She's gone.
30:09All her belongings have gone.
30:13I'm so sorry.
30:15No, you're not.
30:20I'm not.
30:22No, I'm sorry.
30:32No, I'm not.
30:36No, I'm not.
30:37No, I'm not.
30:40I'm sorry.
30:54Do you sue her for divorce?
30:56No. I'd lose my job.
30:59We can keep your job. I'll make sure of that.
31:02It would make me a divorcee.
31:09But not the guilty party.
31:13Still, I'd be sold goods. I'd be tainted with scandal.
31:20You'd also be free.
31:23To remarry.
31:30One day.
31:34Yes.
31:44Christ. Hide. There, there. Go.
31:54Is it this one?
31:55Er, yeah, I think so.
31:57No, no, it's not. It's this one.
31:59Right.
32:01I'm in.
32:03Sorry, Bargian. Have you got a sec?
32:04Of course, sir.
32:05Ma'am. Please.
32:08That's what I want to talk to you about.
32:12Flying.
32:14Yes, sir.
32:14You're an experienced air jockey, and I have an idea.
32:16And, look, please, disavow me of it if I'm wrong.
32:19That to be up there in a plane is the biggest thrill of them all.
32:23It is, sir.
32:24I mean, really, the biggest.
32:28It is, um, once you break through the clouds to the clear blue beyond, the, the space, the, the silence,
32:39the transcendent beauty, it's, well, it's, it's church for the irreligious man.
32:45That's what I'd hoped you'd say.
32:47Where could I learn?
32:48Er, White Waltham Airfield. They have a good school there.
32:51Would you take me?
32:52Of course, sir.
32:53Good man.
32:56You know, my sister, my favorite sister, actually, Cécile, died in a plane.
33:02Er, went down over Austin in a storm.
33:06Eight months pregnant.
33:08She went into labor mid-flight, and they, they found the child next to her in the wreckage.
33:17A boy.
33:37Hmm.
33:40You're part of the uniform, Peter.
33:49Anyone we know?
33:53I...
33:54No, quite right. None of my business.
33:58Thanks, sir.
34:14You're enjoying this, aren't you?
34:20Yes.
34:25Mr. Caldwell, your majesty.
34:29Your majesty, Tommy.
34:33Oh, come in, Jock. Take a seat.
34:36We have a significant concern, which we'd like to convey to the Prime Minister.
34:41It concerns the Duke of Edinburgh.
34:55Ma'am, the word has reached me that it is your desire that you and your children keep your husband's
35:02name.
35:03Mountbatten.
35:05It is.
35:06Ma'am, you must not. It would be a grave mistake.
35:11Mountbatten was the adoptive name your husband took when he became a British citizen.
35:15His real name, you'll not need reminding,
35:19it was Schleswig-Holstein, Sonderberg-Gluxburg of the royal houses of Denmark and Norway and latterly of Greece.
35:33I am an old man.
35:37Many have questioned my relevance.
35:40And whether I still have something to offer in public life, the answer is I have.
35:45I have to leave in place a sovereign prepared for office, equipped, armed for her duty.
35:55Great things have happened to this country under the sceptres of her queens.
36:02And you should be no exception.
36:05Yes, I am queen.
36:07But I am also a woman.
36:11And a wife.
36:14To a man whose pride and whose strength are in part what attracted me to him.
36:20I want to be in a successful marriage.
36:24And I would argue stability under this roof might even be in the national interest.
36:28Had you considered that?
36:32Very well. I will discuss it with cabinet.
36:39No.
36:42You will inform the cabinet, Prime Minister.
36:50That is a favour you will do me.
36:54In return for one I am already doing you.
37:02I know your party wants you to resign.
37:05To make way for a younger man.
37:07Mr. Eden.
37:10I also know that no one will bring up your resignation while you are actively engaged in planning the coronation.
37:20So by delaying my investiture, you are in fact holding on to power.
37:29In which case I would suggest you are somewhat in my debt.
37:34So if I agree to the delay, perhaps you will consider supporting me in the matter regarding my husband's name.
37:49And perhaps you could also inform cabinet that my husband and I intend to stay here at Clarence House.
37:56Why?
37:57It is our home.
38:00It has just been refurbished at great expense.
38:03Buckingham Palace can still be where official business is done, but our home, our private family home, will be Clarence
38:12House.
38:17Very well.
38:40He was a little surprised, I think.
38:42Really?
38:42I don't dare express any of you at all.
38:44But Paul was always putty in his hands.
38:47I think one should start as all means to continue.
38:49Absolutely.
38:49Put a marker down.
38:50Quite.
38:51Draw a line in the sand.
38:52He said he'd put it to cabinet.
38:54And I said there was nothing to discuss.
38:56Good for you.
38:57No.
38:58Good for you.
38:58Why did it?
39:31I took it to cabinet.
39:33As expected, the answer was unanimous.
39:35No.
39:36Both matters.
39:37Well, she won't like it.
39:38Neither the snub over the name, nor the move to Buckingham Palace.
39:42God, it really is the most dreadful place.
39:45Cold.
39:46Uninviting.
39:47But it's the right thing for the young family and the children to live there.
39:51It's the focal point.
39:53It's the monarch's home.
39:56Do you want me to break it to her?
40:00That would be very kind.
40:01It's the least I can do.
40:03I've never forgotten the way in which you defended me.
40:06Fought for me during that terrible time.
40:10I still think no man should be punished for love.
40:14And I also believe I spoke for many in the country when I defended you.
40:18You're very kind.
40:22If I were to help you in this matter with her,
40:27perhaps I could ask a favour in return?
40:30Oh.
40:47Put in a word with the young queen for my allowance to be reinstated, she holds the purse strings now.
40:55The family expect me to turn down commercial opportunities, yet cast off my allowance at the same time.
41:02And ten thousand pounds.
41:04It's quite impossible to make ends meet without it.
41:07That a former king should come to me begging.
41:13Consider it done.
41:17There is also a brief moment before the coronation where you might also mobilise cabinet support for the one other
41:29thing that has eluded me and mows away at my heart.
41:35What?
41:37The appropriate title for the woman I married.
41:39No, sir.
41:41Her Royal Highness.
41:42She is, after all, the wife of a former king.
41:45She is also a woman who has three husbands that still live and breathe.
41:50It is her right, Winston.
41:53I am determined she shall have it.
41:56I am determined she has shown respect.
42:00Will you fight for it?
42:02One more time.
42:03I have defended you so many times.
42:05Each time, to my cost and in vain.
42:09This love for her has destroyed everything.
42:13It is love, Winston.
42:17Love.
42:19The greatest thing on earth.
42:43I am indeed one Instead!
42:47I am indeed wife.
42:47I am bitter, Peter.
42:47He is still sound and running the same before we remain.
42:49Jesus is frozen.
42:49I am afraid.
42:50If not, we are tooious though.
42:51who knows.
45:22Thank you for seeing me.
45:25Thank you for coming.
45:57And Disraeli.
45:58Why pugs? What's the attraction?
46:00Well, they're childlike.
46:04Need a lot of loving.
46:05They have strange bark.
46:09Yes.
46:10More of a yep.
46:11And a lazy.
46:12Spend all day sleeping.
46:14Yes.
46:15Awfully gassy.
46:17Yes.
46:18Suppose one can always open the windows.
46:25Don't you miss it?
46:26What?
46:27What?
46:28The country of your birth.
46:29The people here.
46:31Your own flesh and blood.
46:33Well, I would have done if they'd accepted the woman I love, but they didn't, so I don't.
46:41So the former king keeps himself at a distance?
46:43A distance.
46:44A distance that was imposed upon me.
46:46They wanted me out.
46:48And it reduces us all to cruel nicknames.
46:52Shirley Temple.
46:56Yes.
46:59On account of the curls?
47:03And precociousness.
47:05And stardom.
47:07You flatterer.
47:08Not at all.
47:10Generally, we're better at queens than kings in this country.
47:15I have a feeling you'll be no exception.
47:17I certainly intended to do it well.
47:20I did too.
47:22Obviously not hard enough.
47:26No.
47:29You never apologized.
47:32To your papa, I most certainly did.
47:35Your mother too.
47:36I can show you the letters.
47:37I didn't mean to them.
47:39Meant to me.
47:43You.
47:47You don't think I'm deserving of one.
47:51You don't think I would have preferred to grow up out of the spotlight.
47:55Away from court.
47:58Away from the scrutiny and the visibility.
48:03A simpler life.
48:05Happier life.
48:07As a wife.
48:08Mother.
48:10An ordinary English countrywoman.
48:16I'm sorry.
48:31You might extend the same apology to my husband the next time you see him.
48:34Is he struggling?
48:36A little.
48:38Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.
48:43Anyway, if I am to succeed, then he and I are going to need all the help we can get.
48:50I'm sure you're surrounded by good people offering it.
48:53I wonder if they're always off in Paris.
48:55I wonder if they're always off in Paris or New York or wherever it is you spend your time.
49:00You would take my advice?
49:03I would.
49:06Particularly now my father isn't here to give his.
49:11I know it came from the heart, since I know deep down, despite everything, that you care very deeply.
49:20I do.
49:22I do.
49:30As it happens, there are two issues on which I would like to offer some advice.
49:36The first is your husband's surname and the name of the royal house.
49:45And the second?
50:06There you are.
50:08There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
50:10Now, please don't react.
50:12I'd like to take flying lessons.
50:16No, but trust me, becoming a pilot has been a lifelong ambition of mine, and I think I've found a
50:23teacher I've mad enough to take me on as a pupil.
50:26Peter, no less. Peter Townsend.
50:32What's the matter?
50:33I need to talk to you.
50:35About what?
50:39They'd rather we didn't keep the name.
50:42Mountbatten.
50:45Who's they?
50:47Cabinet.
50:48It's none of their business.
50:50I think you'll find it's very much their business.
50:52You're my wife. Taking my name as the law.
50:54It's the custom, not the law.
50:56A custom practiced so universally, it might as well be the law.
50:59You can't do this.
51:00Am I to be the only man in the country whose wife and children don't take his name?
51:03You can't do this to Dickie.
51:04It will devastate him.
51:05You know that.
51:06You know how important it is to him.
51:08I've told him the Royal House of Mountbatten is in the bag.
51:12That was a mistake.
51:13It's not.
51:15The name has to be Windsor.
51:17For stability.
51:20There's more.
51:23Clarence House.
51:24Our home.
51:25What about it?
51:28We have to give it up.
51:31The home of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom is Buckingham Palace.
51:34Says who?
51:37Me.
51:40I thought you hated that place.
51:43I do.
51:44We all do.
51:48Then why go along with it?
51:51Because that's the overwhelming advice.
51:53But that's the point, Elizabeth.
51:54It's just advice.
51:55It doesn't mean that you have to act on it.
51:57When it comes from the government, you do.
52:12What kind of marriage is this?
52:14What kind of family?
52:18You've taken my career from me.
52:19You've taken my home.
52:20You've taken my name.
52:30I thought we were in this together.
52:46I thought we were in this together.
53:08Welcome, Tom.
53:25My lords.
53:37I hereby declare my will and pleasure that I and my children shall be styled and known
53:46as the house and family of Windsor, and that my descendants, other than female descendants,
53:54who marry and their descendants, shall bear the name of Windsor.
