00:08Roger that Benson, we're passing through flight level 1-7 at 2,500.
00:13Roger, flight 1-0-4, report approaching 2,500.
00:17Benson, weather flight overcast, wind calm.
00:20Thanks Benson.
00:22We're hoping for a straight-in visual approach to runway 0-1.
00:27Roger, flight 1-0-4, that is approved.
00:28At the end of the morning, 2,500.
00:32Roger that Benson.
00:33Flight 1-0-4, report approaching 2,500.
00:38Flight 1-0-1.
00:42Flight 1-0-1.
00:50Thus it hath pleased Almighty God, to take out of this transitory life unto His divine mercy,
00:57the late, most high, mighty, and illustrious Prince Edward, Albert, Christian, George, Andrew, Patrick, David, Duke of Windsor.
01:11Sometime the most high, most mighty, and most excellent monarch, Edward VIII.
01:23By the grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British dominions beyond the seas, king, defender of the
01:31faith, emperor of India, uncle of the most high, most mighty, and most excellent monarch, our sovereign lady, Elizabeth II,
01:44who may God preserve and bless.
01:48Long life.
01:50Health and honour.
02:02I want to thank you for writing such lovely letters to David in his final days.
02:08It meant a great deal to him.
02:11It meant a great deal to him.
02:12And he wanted you to have this.
02:16Which I gave him in 1939.
02:21A pocket watch and a compass.
02:24With an inscription.
02:25No excuse for going in the wrong direction.
02:33I'm sorry not to see your girlfriend.
02:36She's picking me up after this.
02:38We're spending the evening together before I return to Dartmouth for don't tell anyone.
02:42It's a secret.
02:44She's not official.
02:45Yes.
02:47Is she the one?
02:50Yes.
02:51I think so.
02:53Then if I may offer two pieces of advice, never turn your back on true love.
03:00Despite all the sacrifices and all the pain, David and I never once regretted it.
03:09And the second?
03:10Watch out for your family.
03:13They mean well.
03:16No they don't.
03:40I saw her.
03:43The black widow.
03:47Orlis.
03:50It's funny old crow.
03:53She stared at me.
03:55It spooked me rather.
03:57She gave me a warning.
03:58About what?
04:00My family.
04:02Mummy?
04:04Goodbye darling.
04:06I'm Margot.
04:08Or you.
04:10Dartmouth unbearable.
04:12What a question.
04:15I've got Dickey.
04:16It'll be the making of me.
04:18Just remember acting left in it doesn't mean you're in a bloody play.
04:23It's funny.
04:25I looked at them as I was leaving.
04:28And my mother, father, grandmother, aunt, even my sister.
04:33And I thought that's what they must have looked like to him.
04:38Who?
04:40The last Prince of Wales.
04:42Poor lost soul we just buried.
04:47He wasn't like them.
04:49He was brighter.
04:51Wittier.
04:52More independent of thought.
04:53More true to himself.
04:58And so they united against him.
05:02And in that moment.
05:06As they'd looked at me in some god awful way I realised.
05:13I've just replaced him.
05:19Come on Ed.
05:20We're this way.
05:21What is it?
05:22No peeking.
05:30But you can't afford it.
05:31Give it a go.
05:33Come on.
05:34Come on.
06:16In recent days tensions have dramatically escalated between the government and the national union of mine workers.
06:23And the resulting blockade now threatens to close the government's last remaining stockpile of coal.
06:36My friends, it is time.
06:38No more standing at the bottom looking up.
06:41It's time to make ourselves heard.
06:43We close every mine across this country.
06:46And we will continue to freeze stockpiles till they open their ears.
06:51Open their hearts.
06:58What you see in here today is the beginning.
07:00The beginning of the working classes saying enough.
07:03We have tried to reach agreement with management, with government.
07:07But the capitalist establishment is bent on crushing the working class movement.
07:13So today we're tearing up that agreement.
07:15And from now on we are men of action.
07:17And we will achieve our aims by any means necessary.
07:20You will achieve any means necessary.
07:45All animals mean harm.
07:48They're but a meal away from barbarism.
07:56One item on the agenda above all others, I'd say, the miners' strike.
08:00Oh.
08:01Which, like a fever dream,
08:04a sharp and sometimes painful interlude of madness will soon pass.
08:07Will it?
08:09On the surface, their demands seem quite reasonable.
08:11A wage increase in line with factory workers
08:14and public sympathy for them seems to be growing.
08:16People are sentimental and easily swayed.
08:19No, the issue that confronts us is far more important.
08:23Economic probity, ma'am.
08:24But if the strike continues?
08:26Then it will end in defeat and humiliation for the mine workers.
08:31We, the government, have been quietly moving coal stocks
08:33from pit heads to power stations these past weeks.
08:36We have eight weeks of reserves,
08:38by which time we will have wrapped up this whole messy affair.
08:42We are prepared.
08:48Are you warming to him yet?
08:50Mr. Heath?
08:51I'm not sure there's much to warm to.
08:52Give him time.
08:53He's rusty.
08:55One of the first women in decades he's had a meaningful relationship with.
08:59It's what his enemies have always held against him.
09:01What?
09:02Well, the fact he never married.
09:03People find it hard to trust a leader without her wife and family.
09:08Apparently there was a doctor's daughter.
09:10It was love at first sight.
09:14And she waited for him throughout the war.
09:17Only for Heath to chicken out at the last moment.
09:19So she married someone else.
09:22Where'd you get all this from?
09:23That's some chap I met who knew Heath of old.
09:26Thinks that he, uh, never moved past it.
09:29How sad.
09:33There you are.
09:34Well, when you find the right one, snap them up.
09:40As a central theme, it's perfect.
09:42For what?
09:44Your speech to mark our 25-year wedding anniversary.
09:47Why my speech?
09:48Because it's your turn.
09:50I made the one on our 10th anniversary.
09:54Something of a triumph, as I recall.
09:58One pretty shoe.
10:00Speaking of love at first sight,
10:03I had the opportunity to read some of Charles' letters to Uncle David
10:06about his feelings for the Shand girl.
10:08I think we need to take it seriously.
10:10Why?
10:11I think he's really fallen in love.
10:14You don't love a girl like Camilla Shand.
10:16She's...
10:18She's a bit of fun.
10:20And a welcome distraction from the rigors of the Navy.
10:24The first few months can be pretty tough.
10:29Enlight!
10:32Wake up!
10:34Strange things, daydreams.
10:37You're safe during the 6 a.m. drills.
10:40All that shouting and exertion rather blows the cobwebs away.
10:46You're even fairly safe in class.
10:48I mean, there's a rigor to astro-navigation in which one can lose oneself.
10:55No.
10:56The time you're most vulnerable is when you're out at sea.
10:59Something about the waves begins to disappear.
11:05And then suddenly you're somewhere else entirely.
11:10And there's a feeling I've never had before.
11:13A sense of safety and belonging.
11:18And all that loneliness having vanished.
11:24It's all rather miraculous.
11:27I think you are miraculous.
11:30Tell me, is there any part of all this that's surprised you?
11:34Of what?
11:37A friendship.
11:39You should ask if there's any part of this that hasn't surprised me.
11:43A good surprise?
11:44I think so.
11:45You don't sound certain.
11:47No, I am.
11:48I think.
11:49You seem to be doing a lot of thinking.
11:52It's a worse thing one can do.
11:55Why?
11:55I love thinking.
11:57Yes, and that's what makes things so confusing.
12:01What gives them clarity?
12:04Not in this instance.
12:06What we have is special.
12:08I know.
12:10But that's what makes things so confusing.
12:13Because I wasn't supposed to fall in love with you.
12:16None of this was supposed to happen.
12:18Well, Dan, why?
12:20Hello.
12:20What was supposed to happen?
12:22Hello?
12:23You run out of coins.
12:26Hello?
12:29Hello?
12:56Hello?
13:02Let's go.
13:05Irish запository.
13:07Shoulder.
13:08Out.
13:11Inwards.
13:13Tongue.
13:15All right.
13:17We'll advance.
13:20Right.
13:21Tongue.
13:23Right.
13:25Whole.
13:33That's not the face I'd hoped to see opposite me.
13:37Commander of the college wrote to me only last week,
13:40saying how encouraged he was by your progress.
13:44A progress which, in his estimation, compares you favorably with your father,
13:49and your grandfather before him, and your great-grandfather before him.
13:54I know you had your own ideas, your vision of where you belong.
14:00I simply ask that you stick with it a little.
14:03It's not the college.
14:05Then what is it?
14:10Camilla.
14:12Sheld?
14:15You two are still losing one another, are you?
14:19We are.
14:20I like her very much.
14:22Good, good.
14:26I like her very much indeed.
14:29The situation is complicated.
14:33I'm not the only interested party.
14:38You mean the donkey walloper, Parker Bowles?
14:41Dickie, I don't want to lose her.
14:44Dear boy, you're not going to lose any woman.
14:47You're the Prince of Wales.
14:49I mean, I don't want to lose her ever.
14:57She's the one.
15:05Now I think you understand what I'm saying.
15:09And why I'm going to need your help.
15:12With the family.
15:23Eyes.
15:26Right.
15:31Eyes.
15:32Fight.
15:47It's my fault entirely.
15:50Sheldon girls are never meant to be an opportunity for an inexperienced boy to sow his wild oats.
15:58That's why I encouraged it, indulged it.
16:01I never expected him to develop feelings, let alone nurture thoughts of...
16:06Don't even say it. It's madness.
16:09As soon as that girl's back where she belongs, with Derek's boy, the better.
16:12I agree.
16:15How shall we handle this?
16:17Well, I can take care of Charles.
16:19A nice long posting overseas will bring him to his senses.
16:22I'll speak to everyone at the Admiralty.
16:25Eight months on the other side of the world, it'll soon go away.
16:28Let's hope so.
16:31Can I leave the Shands and the Parker Bowles families to you?
16:35With pleasure.
16:53You play the organ, don't you?
16:56I do.
16:58And the pianoforte?
16:59Yes.
17:00What smooth, elegant hands you have.
17:03Long, delicate fingers.
17:07You ever seen a pit, Mr. Heath?
17:09Of course.
17:10Not on your television.
17:11In person.
17:15Then, let's help you.
17:19Get acquainted.
17:28Pick it up.
17:31Go on.
17:33Touch it.
17:35Smell it.
17:48Smell it.
17:50You're in the heat and the darkness digging for coal, because when they go to work and
17:54break their backs and risk their lives, they're nowhere near God.
17:57They're in hell.
17:59And they're doing that day in, day out, so that you and everyone else in this country
18:03can have heat and electricity and power.
18:05We'll make no progress if you concentrate only on our differences.
18:08No, you're wrong.
18:09That's the only way we'll make progress.
18:11Until you recognize the miners' contribution to this country is what keeps the lights on
18:15in factories, schools, hospitals, and grand rooms like these, then there could be no agreements
18:21made with the NUM.
18:22Well, let's talk for a minute about grand rooms like this.
18:25I'm just as much a stranger to rooms like this as you are.
18:27My father was a builder.
18:30I got here because I'm the leader of a political party elected by the people of this country
18:34to lead their government.
18:36This is not my home.
18:37This is the home the people of this country give the Queen's first minister.
18:41It is grand because we respect democracy.
18:44You can make simple assumptions about who I am by virtue of the fact that I play the organ.
18:49My parents couldn't afford to buy a piano for me.
18:52They had to pay for it in installments from a shop in Margate.
18:55Let's not waste time on bogus disagreements.
18:59About a class struggle between you and me.
19:01I come from a background not so far removed from you.
19:06But I have chosen democracy unlike you.
19:10And I will not have you or any other hoodlum come in here and threaten a democratic government
19:16with undemocratic strikes.
19:18This government has its policy and will not be deviated from it.
19:23Ever.
19:29And we have ours.
19:33And nor will we.
19:50Now that talks between the government and the mine workers have broken down,
19:54the prime minister has come up with a scheme for nationwide power cuts to conserve energy.
19:59Christ.
20:00Ever seen battle plans that are less complicated?
20:03That's exactly what the government is calling it.
20:04A battle plan to defeat the miners.
20:08And we expect these power cuts to start soon?
20:10Yes, ma'am.
20:11And for how long?
20:12For the rest of this month.
20:14Perhaps even a year.
20:15What?
20:16This will devastate the country.
20:17Indeed.
20:18There will be interruptions to the normal functioning of government and the judiciary and the civil service.
20:23Hospitals may have to carry out operations by torchlight.
20:26But Mr. Heath is confident of victory.
20:33As prime minister, I want to speak to you simply and plainly tonight about the grave emergency now facing our
20:41country.
20:43In the House of Commons this afternoon, I announced more severe restrictions on the use of electricity.
20:51We are asking you to cut down to the absolute minimum it's used for heating and for other purposes in
20:58your home.
20:59In industry, we are limiting the supply of electricity to almost all factories, shops and offices to three days a
21:08week.
21:09In terms of comfort, we shall have a harder Christmas than we have known since the war.
21:17In the kind of country we live in, there can be no we or they.
21:23It is only us.
21:25All of us.
21:29If the government is defeated, then the country is defeated.
21:57Major and Mrs. Shand, Your Majesty, and Mr. and Mrs. Pocker-Bowles.
22:08Thank you for coming, Major Shand.
22:10Your Majesty.
22:11Mrs. Shand, Your Majesty.
22:12Derek.
22:13Your Majesty.
22:14Anne.
22:15Your Majesty.
22:17Please.
22:29You're probably wondering why I've invited all here this afternoon.
22:32It's a slightly delicate matter.
22:34Something of an imbroglio involving your son, Derek, your daughter, Mrs. Shand, and my grandson, the Prince of Wales.
22:46Mr. Winsor, you want you on the quarter deck.
22:49Captain's office.
22:51Sir.
22:56Winsor, come in.
23:06We now have the results from the exams, and the examining body has concluded that you have met the necessary
23:13criteria to undertake your duties as Officer of the Watch.
23:17Your first official posting.
23:20Congratulations.
23:23Congratulations.
23:28Am I allowed to know where to?
23:31Oh, Christ, not again.
23:34Jenkins, fetch another lamp and some candles, will you?
23:36Yes, sir.
24:12You're all highlights.
24:15Martin.
24:16Sir.
24:17I wonder if the Queen might have a minute for me.
24:19It's not the best moment, sir, she's writing a speech.
24:22Could you tell her I've come all the way from Dartmouth, that it's very important?
24:26Of course, sir.
24:36Excuse me, sir.
24:38Excuse me, sir.
24:40Excuse me, sir.
24:49Your Majesty, we'll see you now, sir.
24:56Sorry to interrupt, Mummy.
24:57I didn't know you're on leave.
24:59I'm not.
25:00Then why are you here?
25:04I've come to ask you a question.
25:08I've been given a posting.
25:10Eight months, in the Caribbean.
25:13That's not a question.
25:16I'm not happy about it.
25:18Still not a question.
25:19All right.
25:21Here's the question.
25:23Did you arrange it?
25:24Why would I have arranged it?
25:27To separate us.
25:28Break us up.
25:30Who?
25:31Camilla Shand and me.
25:32You just said you've been given a promotion.
25:34A posting, not a promotion.
25:36And one that makes no sense.
25:37I'm not eligible for a posting yet.
25:38I'm not qualified.
25:39People make all kinds of exceptions for members of the royal family.
25:42Not the Navy.
25:43They pride themselves on making no exceptions ever.
25:46My question is, did you or anyone else in this family have something to do with this?
25:51Why would we do that?
25:52I have no idea.
25:53Because she's not intact.
25:56Or not the right family.
25:58Or because she has a mind of her own.
26:00Or perhaps just because it amuses everyone to take two people who are perfectly happy together
26:03and to find a reason to break them up.
26:05Because there is history of that cruelty in this family.
26:07Well, I won't stand for it.
26:09I won't be pushed aside like Uncle David.
26:11Or Aunt Margot.
26:13I won't stand for it.
26:22Martin.
26:26Queen Elizabeth and Lord Mountbatten.
26:29I'd like to see them as soon as possible.
26:31Together.
26:44Everything was fine.
26:46Everyone was getting what they wanted and needed from the arrangement.
26:50Until the boy started talking about love.
26:53But what if it is love?
26:54Shouldn't it be allowed to run its course?
26:56I was allowed to marry my choice.
26:58That was different.
26:59His rank was different.
27:00The feelings were the same.
27:01The times were different.
27:03His past was different.
27:05Philip was a royal prince.
27:06Does that still matter in this day and age?
27:08It does.
27:09The system is too fragile, too precious to let in unpredictable elements, dangerous elements.
27:16Camilla isn't dangerous.
27:18She's the first woman Charles has met that gives him confidence and comfort and self-belief.
27:23Qualities I think we all agree he will one day need.
27:25I understand you are both taking steps to protect the crown.
27:29But given the history of this family, I don't think we can afford to break up two people that truly
27:33love one another.
27:34We've learnt that lesson time and time again.
27:36Trust me, this is anything but love.
27:39Dickie.
27:43There is something you should know.
28:06Let the children use it.
28:09Let all the children move.
28:59There is something you should know.
29:06God, what's all this?
29:09Come in, darling.
29:23We'd like to ask you some questions.
29:26And it's important, while answering those questions, that you remain clear-headed, unemotional, rational and calm.
29:34As opposed to what, the hysterical and neurotic way I normally behave?
29:41We need to talk to you about your brother.
29:43Which one?
29:44I have three.
29:46Charles.
29:48Your one?
29:50Specifically, the suitability of his match with Camilla Shand.
29:55Match?
29:56We believe it's his intention to ask her to marry him.
30:01Fine.
30:03As long as he's prepared for there to always be three in the marriage.
30:07The third being?
30:09Andrew Parker Bowles.
30:11Camilla's first love and the man she's still devoted to.
30:13She's not devoted to Charles.
30:15She likes Charles, but she's obsessed with Andrew.
30:19Spare me.
30:24How do you know all this?
30:26Because I was briefly caught up in it myself.
30:29Wait a minute.
30:31When?
30:31Then, in the past.
30:32It doesn't matter.
30:35It was all very straightforward.
30:36He got what he wanted, which was to make Camilla jealous.
30:39I got what I wanted.
30:41Which was a bit of fun.
30:43Fun?
30:43Yes.
30:43Sorry, Mummy, it was.
30:52Is that it?
30:53Inquisition over.
30:54Can I go now?
30:55Thank you, darling.
31:00I hope that wasn't too emotional for you all.
31:09I'd like to speak to Mummy alone.
31:11Right.
31:12That's our cue.
31:16Queen's only.
31:31I'm not sure I know where to begin.
31:33Obviously.
31:34Poor Charles.
31:35Stupid, naive Charles.
31:36Yes.
31:37And Anne.
31:38Yes.
31:39I mean, who'd have thought it?
31:45So, what's the next step?
31:47The families have been spoken to.
31:49The date has been set for Camilla to be married to the Parker Bowles boy.
31:51Good.
31:52All that's missing is for someone to let them know.
31:56Will you tell Charles?
31:57That would achieve nothing.
31:59It would achieve a great deal.
32:01It would clear the air.
32:02And since you approve of the decision, as his mother and Queen, it's the right thing to do.
32:07It would only create rancor and resentment.
32:10And while I may approve of the decision, none of this nonsense was my idea.
32:16Dickie can do it.
32:18This is his mess.
32:19It's his levee.
32:21Yes.
32:30It would.
32:31It's his Basic House pretty much.
32:32Yes.
32:32Yes.
32:32Yes.
32:33Yes.
32:35Yes.
32:36Yes.
32:37Yes.
32:39Yes.
32:59During yesterday's extended power cuts, it was almost impossible for many families who
33:04depend on electricity to cook or to heat and light their homes. Summer camping stoves and
33:10old paraffin lamps have been brought out of the attic and dusted down. It's now almost
33:15impossible to buy a candle, a stove or a heater. In ironmongers, it's always the same
33:21notice and orders for fresh supplies have been in for days. With millions now unable
33:26to work, people have taken to the streets and tensions are starting to rise.
33:33There are now genuine fears for the stability of the country and the
33:36maintenance of law and order. I don't know where to begin. What to say? Is it true? Do you love
33:47Andrew?
33:48It's complicated. Nothing complicated about it. It's a yes or no answer. Do you love him?
33:57Yes. In a manner of speaking.
34:01I'm such a fool. But the more time I spent with you, the more I got to know you, the
34:07more my feelings changed.
34:10Transport is waiting sir.
34:15Obviously not enough. But that's not true. Whatever anyone tells you, you must believe
34:22that my feelings for you are real. Then why have we allowed them to do this?
34:27Because apparently this way it'll be better for everyone. In the long run.
34:44you have to go.
35:03If it were the occasional blackout, I would understand.
35:06But when it disrupts everyday life up and down the country,
35:09indeed threatens lies, threatens law and order,
35:11I do begin to wonder whether we really have taken the right course of action.
35:14Ma'am, the government is not to blame.
35:16The National Union of Mine Workers has been given every opportunity
35:19and has rejected offer after offer.
35:21Alas, a more than generous package worth 48 million pounds
35:24was met with wholesale contempt.
35:26But that does not explain the blackouts.
35:28I distinctly remember you assuring me
35:30that the government had stockpiled enough coal to weather any storm.
35:34And yet, here we are.
35:35It's true. The strikes have lasted longer than we anticipated.
35:38And the stubbornness of the miners and unions has been considerably more violent.
35:42I think we can safely say there has been stubbornness on both sides.
35:45And one does wonder if we have failed to understand the scale of the miners' anger.
35:49Indeed, if we have failed to understand them as people.
36:03Indeed, it is.
36:45wedding anniversary speech written yes excessively gushing in the liege man of life and limp
36:51department i do feel slightly for charles yes it will hurt and for a while it might even feel like
37:04a betrayal but then you'll come to his senses and it will be forgotten i hope so
37:31i must admit my lord mayor that the first 25 years of marriage have rather crept up on us
37:40i'm not much given to philosophizing but from time to time one is presented with an opportunity
37:46to reflect upon what has contributed to the success of something and in the case of our marriage
37:53its family the rock upon which any enduring marriage must surely be founded a network of brothers
38:02sisters mothers and fathers cousins and relations a filigree of a thousand tiny threads woven together
38:14by blood kinship and trust
38:24only there within that crucible of family relationships can a successful union between two people
38:32be forged fealty allegiance obedience and devotion these are christian values that sustain a marriage
38:44marriage and that bind a family together
38:52to realize that elusive state of being a happy family is a tireless struggle a battle
39:00but it is a battle worth fighting but there is nothing in life to match it
39:10the right kind of partnership with the right kind of partner is the foundation on which a successful
39:18family must rest marriage is a proposition some in the modern world would question but it is a proposition
39:29about which when asked i can reply plainly and unequivocally
39:37i am for it
39:59thank you
40:00thank you
40:00thank you
40:03thank you
