00:11Are we late?
00:12Sorry.
00:13Go, go, go.
00:15You're coming to my dream.
00:17Oh, you are naughty.
00:23Dress ready, darling.
00:24Yes, we are.
00:25Shoes.
00:26Good.
00:30How many people in the world actually know about this?
00:32Four.
00:41The crowd's out in force tonight outside the Royal Opera House to welcome their Royal Highnesses, the Prince and Princess
00:48of Wales.
00:49The Prince, of course, is the President of the Friends of Covent Garden who are hosting tonight's event.
00:54Princess Diana in a strapless lilac chiffon gown printed with gold pattern receiving the attention.
01:00But it's the Prince's night, His Royal Highness celebrating his 37th birthday at this special gala event.
01:15The Prince's night has been on the stage.
01:20The Prince's night is a great day.
01:26The Prince's night is a great day.
01:29The Prince's night is a great day.

02:18Back in a tick.
02:20Couldn't powder my nose.
02:28ORCHESTRA PLAYS
02:41ORCHESTRA PLAYS
02:42ORCHESTRA PLAYS
04:51Happy birthday.
06:19What are you doing?
06:20I'm going back to Gloucestershire.
06:23Of course.
06:24It's where she'll be waiting for you.
06:28I'm sure she'll know exactly how to make you happy.
06:42Charles and Diana seem to be getting on again.
06:45Hallelujah.
06:47Apparently she surprised him with a dance last night at the Opera House.
06:50Really?
06:51Full of high kicks and spins.
06:53Why did you never do that for me?
06:56Dance on your birthday?
06:58Yes.
06:59Like Salome.
07:01Because, if memory serves, you had your own ballerinas for that.
07:06Honestly.
07:09The rubbish you talk sometimes.
07:13It says here they're off to Switzerland skiing with friends.
07:17Perhaps their marriage has turned a corner.
07:20Now, much more importantly, who is Billy Joel?
07:24Billy Joel.
07:26Oh, Joel?
07:27Yes.
07:28It's Uptown Girl.
07:30What are you talking about?
07:33Thank you very much.
07:34Thanks, guys.
07:47Thanks, guys.
07:48Thanks for having me.
07:48Thanks, guys.
07:49Thanks, guys.
07:50You've got a question.
07:50The thing is not the thing.
07:53We're actually here.
07:53You've got a question, but we're not enough.
07:53And let me ask you though.
07:55You're going to love me.
07:56This is great, no matter is not the same thing.
07:57You're going to love me.
08:01You're going to love me,
10:10Why were they even skiing, if the conditions were dangerous?
10:13The conditions this morning were apparently ideal.
10:17And a male body has been found?
10:20Those are the first unconfirmed reports.
10:23Yes.
10:24Obviously, every effort possible is being made to identify the body, but should the unthinkable turn out to be true,
10:32and Prince of Wales is in fact...
10:39We have contingency plans in place for all members of the royal family.
10:43Menai Bridge is no exception.
10:47It's the code name for the death of the Prince of Wales.
10:50Thank you, Martin.
10:52Thank you, Martin.
11:19And the next.
11:48And the next.
12:13We've had it confirmed the Prince of Wales is safe, ma'am.
12:18Although one of the guests, Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson, is still in intensive care, and the one fatality was Hugh Lindsay.
12:27Oh, no.
12:28His wife, our widow, works in the press office.
12:34Sarah.
12:36Hmm.
12:36If you wanted to send a letter.
12:38Of course.
12:45Martin?
12:47Yes, ma'am.
12:48Just to say, along with the coverage of His Royal Highness' near escape, we should also brace ourselves for more
12:56speculation...
12:58...about the Wales' marriage.
13:00It seems the Prince and Princess had not been on the best of terms prior to the accident, and we'd
13:05received reports of...
13:06...arguments and raised voices.
13:09Certain newspapers were about to run stories, and although we might expect a reprieve of...
13:14...a few days, given the circumstances, we can't expect it to last for long.
13:23Now.
13:41The Prince and Princess of Wales are travelling back to Britain this afternoon, following a devastating accident that has cut
13:48short their skiing holiday in Switzerland.
13:50On board their flight will be the body of Major Hugh Lindsay, a close friend of the couple who died
13:56in the avalanche yesterday.
13:58The Prince of Wales was himself only inches away from death.
14:14The Prince is he was in hisиш of the past and overpass, and he was named by Francisco's
14:16The first of all, and his voice, who died in the avalanche yesterday.
14:16He was a star-spelting man of the night at the hollow, and he was always next to him.
14:19The Prince of Wales was he was on the average part of the night at the very day before the
14:20night, before he had been back to Baltimore.
14:20He was a star-spelting man in his early days when he was before the night before he was he.
14:21The Prince of Wales was he was the Heater-kidman in the island.
14:23The Prince of Wales was him after the night at the beach.
14:31The Prince of Wales is his death, and his
14:31Oh, my God.
15:09You said you were on your way.
15:10Hello, darling.
15:15Oh, thank you.
15:17What have I done now?
15:19You, nothing.
15:20But as his sister and confidant,
15:22I thought you might throw some light on a subject
15:25about which I've been ostriching, rather.
15:27The true state of Charles' marriage.
15:29You don't want to know.
15:31Actually, I do.
15:35Tea?
15:36Yes, please.
15:58The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
16:02Please.
16:06All right.
16:10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl
16:12who fell madly in love with a handsome prince.
16:14Unfortunately, the prince was already in love with someone else,
16:17who was herself in love with someone else,
16:19and they all lived unhappily ever after.
16:22That's it.
16:23In a nutshell, do you need more?
16:25A little.
16:26There's already a big age difference,
16:28but Charles is older than his years,
16:30and Diana is younger than hers,
16:31which makes it not an age gap, but an age chasm.
16:34On the face of it,
16:35they come from similar aristocratic backgrounds,
16:37but their personalities come from different planets.
16:40They have different interests,
16:42different friends.
16:43He doesn't understand her.
16:44She doesn't understand him.
16:46And considering all that,
16:47they've actually done remarkably well.
16:53But there comes a point in any failing marriage,
16:55and here I speak with some experience.
16:58When you realize there's no point in trying anymore,
17:00it's easier to just let the current take you away.
17:05And the minute Harry was born and duty was done,
17:07the marriage was effectively over,
17:09and they started to find comfort in the arms of others.
17:12How many others?
17:15Diana's been with her bodyguard,
17:17her riding instructor.
17:20And Charles?
17:22He's just been with one.
17:24He's also been a bit more discreet.
17:26The only people who know about Camilla are...
17:28Well, pretty much the old of Gloucestershire,
17:30who all seem to be involved in facilitating it.
17:33You can't conduct an extramarital affair
17:35without somewhere to meet, or sleep, or...
17:38Do you think?
17:39But Diana...
17:40Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace
17:42it's like a revolving door.
17:47Suitors.
17:47Park outside her office
17:48because it's the only place with no security cameras.
17:51One after another.
17:53In and out.
17:56In and out.
17:59Unfortunately, the Wales marriage is a rare example
18:02of something that is actually worse
18:03than the newspaper's report.
18:27There's so much...
18:30So...
18:33The Queen...
18:34It's all?
18:34What the word is...
18:34has asked to see you in the princess place at the earliest opportunity.
