00:01I love you.
01:01His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, Your Majesty.
01:04It's done.
01:06I did it.
01:07Where?
01:08In the nursery.
01:10A nursery?
01:11Hardly the most romantic setting.
01:13Did you get on one knee?
01:15No, I didn't.
01:16I'm surprised by the question.
01:18Why?
01:19I thought in terms of rank, the Prince of Wales only ever knelt before the Sovereign.
01:23He didn't say that.
01:24What did you say?
01:25I said it's a proposal of marriage, dear, not a show of strength.
01:30After all that, she at least accepted.
01:37Yes.
01:38Yes?
01:39What did she say?
01:41Yes.
01:42Please.
01:43That it was the happiest moment of her life.
01:47Oh.
01:48Oh.
01:49Oh.
01:51Congratulations.
01:52Then what?
01:53I sent her back to London.
02:00Where does she live?
02:02In Earl's Court in a flat she shares with prostitutes and Australians.
02:06What?
02:06Isn't that who lives in Earl's Court?
02:08In a flat she shares with friends.
02:11Miss Carla!
02:11Carla, over here!
02:13Have you just been to the palace?
02:16Did you see the Prince of Wales?
02:17In one moment or another, is your romantic at heart?
02:20We're going to be with her girl!
02:22I want that to be!
02:23Please!
02:37And?
02:37Oh, my God.
03:10Oh, my God.
03:18Oh, my God.
03:34Now, what we have here is a rather special box of chocolates.
03:37Some are ours, passed down through the family, and some are for sale.
03:40Anyway, the idea is that you pick one.
03:45Any one?
03:49Oh, gosh.
03:58Um, this one's lovely.
04:02That's one of ours?
04:03Yes, ma'am.
04:04From the Magok Valley.
04:05Any idea where that is?
04:07One rather thick at geography.
04:10Burma.
04:11There's a legend, ma'am, that long, long ago, the northern part of Burma was inhabited only by wild animals
04:18and poisonous snakes.
04:20I think I prefer this one.
04:22Yes, a lovely choice, ma'am.
04:24If that's one of yours, what can you tell us about that, apart from the price?
04:28It's a 12-carat oval salon sapphire, Your Majesty, surrounded by 14 diamonds set in 18-carat white gold.
04:38And you like that one because...
04:39It's the most expensive.
04:41No.
04:43Because it reminds me of my mother's engagement ring.
04:45And it's the same colour as my eyes.
04:49She is lovely.
04:50Yes.
04:51But so young.
04:53Yes.
04:53Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, suggested moving Lady Diana into Buckingham Palace before the announcement of the engagement to protect
04:59her from the media.
05:00Oh, that is sensible.
05:01She also thought some tutorials might be useful for what would be a very drastic transition from a teenager to
05:08royal princess.
05:11And, well, the feeling was, if Your Majesty were agreeable...
05:17That I should be her teacher?
05:18Well, one queen to the next, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law might be nice.
05:21Oh, no.
05:22There's a lot to learn, a lot to get right.
05:24And you know me, I'm far too much for a softie.
05:27Hm.
05:32Diana's grandmother.
05:33No different way can do it.
05:35No.
05:38Straight in at the deep end.
05:39Dinner with the family at Clarence's house.
05:41So fucking grand.
05:43So not.
05:44Earl's court.
05:45A toast.
05:46Two.
05:47No more worries.
05:49No more flatmates.
05:50No more rent collection.
05:51No more kindergarten.
05:53No more cleaning your sister's flat.
05:54Oh, God.
05:55Off to your palaces and castles and frocks.
05:58And jewels.
05:58And to one day, not too far away, being the fucking queen.
06:08You will call, won't you?
06:10And write on palace writing paper.
06:12So we can show everyone.
06:14Are we on the phone morning and night?
06:16No, you won't.
06:17You'll be too busy trying on tiaras and having tea brought to you.
06:20Bye.
06:22Bye.
06:22Bye, darling.
06:25Bye, princess.
06:26죽 minority.
06:31I'd love your sister.
06:32I've got a tomato.
06:34Cody.
06:34We're a gang of alcohol.
06:34Close to your house.
06:36I três.
06:39I'm so glad you got this game.
06:40Love you, historic game.
06:41Go, c nogmas.
06:41Go, cals.
06:43Go, cals.
06:44rules.
06:44Go, cals.
06:45Yeah.
06:51Go, cals.
06:52So we get to have this game, bro.omies.
06:56Woo, true.
08:14So, there we are, in Manila, in the middle of a state banquet, when who barges into the
08:20room, none other than Imelda Marquess.
08:23She makes a beeline straight for me, saying she's desperate to show me her, wait for it,
08:28shoe collection.
08:30Shell collection.
08:31Are you sure?
08:33She was probably trying to say shoe, and you misunderstood her.
08:36Did she have something in her teeth?
08:38Sue, shell.
08:42No, I can assure you, it was sea shells.
08:47Now, fold your body, decants, into a convoy of limousines that were rushed through the
08:53streets of Manila.
08:54Lady Diana Spence, Your Majesty.
08:55I was speaking.
09:03Oh, dear.
09:06Sorry.
09:07Your Majesty.
09:11Um, Your Majesty.
09:14Your Royal Highness, I didn't see you there.
09:16Evidently not.
09:17I was the one telling the story you ruined with your entrance.
09:21Sorry.
09:23Uh, uh, this one next.
09:27Sir.
09:28Your Royal Highness, if it's the first greeting, then, sir.
09:31Now me.
09:36Ma'am?
09:37You're doing curtsy to her.
09:39She's not royal.
09:40Just grand.
09:41Poor student.
09:44So sorry.
09:44Thank goodness.
09:45We've got your grandmother to sort all this out.
09:47She's like a regimental sergeant major, aren't you?
09:50When required.
09:52Urgently required, I'd say, on tonight's show.
09:54You'll iron all this out in no time.
09:56Ma'am.
09:57Anyway, where was I?
09:59Being rushed through the streets of Manila.
10:01Yes, in Madame Marcos' private aquarium,
10:05where she keeps a vast portrait of herself,
10:10wearing...
10:13It is with the greatest pleasure
10:16that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
10:19announce the betrothal of their beloved son,
10:22the Prince of Wales,
10:22to the Lady Diana Spencer,
10:26daughter of the Earl Spencer
10:28and the Honourable Mrs. Shandky.
10:55Well, many congratulations.
10:57I wonder if you both remember when you first met?
10:59It was a few years ago now.
11:02I was visiting her sister.
11:04Diana was still quite young then.
11:07What was it about her that made the biggest impression on you?
11:10She was very original
11:12and lots of fun.
11:15And for you?
11:17No, he was simply marvellous.
11:20What can you tell us about the actual wedding?
11:23We're not that far on yet.
11:24But for now, we're delighted, really.
11:28I see you're going to bring a deep and lasting joy to the nation.
11:32And if I may say,
11:33you both look very much in love.
11:36Oh, yes.
11:37Absolutely.
11:41What ever in love means.
12:01Where are you going?
12:03Hi, Griff.
12:04I have to go back to Gloucestershire
12:05to pick up a few things for this foreign tour.
12:09Don't look like that.
12:09Like what?
12:13I'll see you at the airport tomorrow.
12:22Why are you so pleased?
12:23I think she's just the right person for you.
12:26It's quiet, isn't it?
12:27Cheers everybody out.
12:28You know, two or something like this.
12:30Are you calling from inside the palace?
12:31I am.
12:32What's it like?
12:33I have my own little apartment
12:35with a maid and a dresser.
12:38And a sitting room.
12:39Does your phone have a little crown on your phone?
12:41Is the ringing tone God save the Queen?
12:43Have you had a telesupport with the boss yet?
12:45No.
12:46Haven't spent any time with her yet.
12:48Even though we're in the same building.
12:49We saw one of your interviews on television.
12:52Di, you looked great.
12:53Oh, yes, Di.
12:53They played on the six o'clock news.
12:55Did you hear how he answered
12:56when they asked if we were in love?
12:58He said...
12:58I know.
12:59We heard.
13:00But don't worry.
13:00He was probably just a bit embarrassed.
13:27He was probably just a bit embarrassed.
13:33I'm sorry.
13:33This tour hasn't come at a good time.
13:36Oh, I'll be fine.
13:37I've got a club in the palace on my own.
13:40It's not for long.
13:41Six weeks.
13:42Oh, to fly by.
13:44I doused it.
13:46Anyway, I'll see you at the altar.
13:52I've asked Mrs. Parker Bowles
13:54to get in touch with you.
13:55Poor ex?
13:56Why would you do that?
13:57Because she's great fun.
14:00I just thought
14:01if you wanted company
14:02she's the best company.
14:29I should warn you
14:30this won't be one session
14:31this won't be two sessions
14:33what any new entry into the royal family needs to learn
14:35could barely be covered in 20 sessions
14:37but we will do it
14:38and I will work you hard
14:40because you cannot be allowed to fail
14:43I propose we divide our lessons together
14:45into three areas
14:46history
14:47the history of the royal family
14:49the court of St James's
14:50the palaces and houses
14:51and the household
14:53deportment
14:53what to wear
14:54how and where to sit
14:56when to open your mouth
14:57and more importantly what to say
15:00but based on the horrors
15:02we saw the other night
15:03I think we need to start
15:04with the all-important
15:05sink or swim rules
15:07rules which if you get
15:09a single one of these wrong
15:10you're not just in trouble
15:11you're dead
15:12right
15:12beginning with rank
15:14and precedence
15:15and identifying which members
15:16of the royal family
15:17you must curtsy to
15:18how and in which order
15:20obviously in your current position
15:21you curtsy to everyone
15:22but after you become
15:23princess of Wales
15:24things get a little more complicated
15:26because certain members
15:27of the family
15:28will have to curtsy to you
15:29that in itself changes
15:31depending on whether
15:31you're with the prince of Wales
15:33or not
15:33you know the one thing
15:34I really hate
15:35is when I go to a restaurant
15:36and the waiter comes
15:37to the table
15:38and attempts to memorise
15:39the order
15:40without writing it down
15:42you just know
15:43it's going to go wrong
15:49right
15:50when you are unaccompanied
15:52as princess of Wales
16:19good morning
16:20good morning mum
16:21what's all this
16:22it's your post mum

16:35I don't suppose
16:36you'll ever get to read this
16:37but I wanted to tell you
16:38how much I enjoyed
16:39seeing the interview
16:40you gave with the prince of Wales
16:42on television the other day
16:43you look certain
16:44that it really must be love
16:45and to see a young couple
16:47that's not
16:47ready as a poster of you
16:48and prince charles

17:40and then the next one
17:41primary schools all over the land
17:43the grateful teachers
17:44have seized upon the wedding
17:45as their end of term project
17:46the key idea
17:47to send a wedding card
17:48from their class
17:49to prince charles
17:49and lady diana
17:50this one was done
17:51at a school in southport
17:52and it was a pretty
17:52imaginative affair
17:54everyone joined in
17:55but it was thought safer
17:56to let the teacher
17:56address the envelope
18:04she who's been
18:06coming in a frenzy
18:07all the way down
18:08the fine
18:13girls on film

18:20girls on film
18:21girls on film
18:21girls on film
18:39I don't know.
18:57Good morning, Stephen. Thank you, John.
19:04There are three Aquarius to Her Majesty within the palace, one of them also performing the role of Deputy Master
19:09of the Household.
19:11In addition to the Queen's page, Her Majesty's most senior personal servant, there are also three categories of page.
19:18Pages of the chambers, pages of the presents, and pages of the back stairs.
19:23Now, shall we move on to ladies of the bedchamber?
19:26If the weather's fine, Prince Charles will make his way to the altar, and leave later with Lady Diana in
19:31the 1902 state Landau.
19:33It was first used by King Edward VII, and is now favoured by the Queen to meet foreign head of
19:37state.
19:38Its wet weather replacement will be the Scottish...
19:44Yes, ma'am?
19:45Could I speak to the Prince of Wales as private secretary, please?
19:48One moment, please.
19:55I'm afraid there's no answer, but I will certainly let Mr. Heddy know who called.
20:08Yes, ma'am?
20:10I was wondering which number to call, to speak to the Queen.
20:12One moment, please.
20:20Her Majesty is a reception man, but I shall inform her of your call.
22:52The Prince of Wales and I are incredibly grateful that you've all come out here to join us this
22:57evening in support of a cause that's incredibly close to our hearts. Protecting our local wildlife
23:04is crucial. It is a... You use your hands far too much. Make gestures when you talk. Gestures reveal
23:12us whether we're anxious or agitated or coarse. It's best not to give that away. One should never
23:18try to show one's emotions. Now Queen Mary famously taught her ladies-in-waiting to use rope to stop
23:27their arms, flapping about like windmills. That's better. The Prince of Wales and I are so incredibly
23:42grateful to all of you for coming here this evening and showing your support to a cause
23:49that is so incredibly close to both of our hearts, especially the Prince of Wales. I haven't
23:54heard from him for three weeks. He must be busy. But not to ring a single time. I asked to
23:59speak
24:00to the Queen but she won't see me either. Is there fun? Nothing. I get letters from people
24:06all over the world but nothing. There's a squeak from the man I'm supposed to marry. How are you all?
24:13Good. Penny's taking your room. Peter's over. All the time. Of course. He's in the conference, Virginia. Stop it. I
24:22don't
24:23what we were doing. Please be in the conference a while.
24:46I'll be in the conference that you've gathered them down.
24:46DM byå®® Heikes.
24:48DM hiervoorz Clan.
24:52Here she is.
24:55So kind of you to write.
24:57Oh, not at all. It's the very least I could do.
24:59And the Prince of Wales told me he was going away for six weeks and not taking you.
25:06I said, that's not very nice.
25:08Your poor, brand-spanking, gorgeous young fiancée, all alone in the house.
25:12You're actually left all alone in the palace?
25:14Yes.
25:16Well, not the house.
25:17That's what the Prince of Wales calls my new palace.
25:20That's what they all call it.
25:21The house.
25:34The concept here is no main courses, just starters and desserts.
25:38So no need to feel guilty about ordering food, because it's pretty much all you're getting.
25:42I'll have that delicious duck and truffle ravioli thing I had last time,
25:45and then the orange and chocolate creamy creation that's stalked my dreams ever since.
25:53Well, I'll have the same.
25:55Are you sure?
25:57Very happy to go with the flow.
25:59Well, he'll love that.
26:01He's so fussy and set in his ways, he'll love it if you adapt to him.
26:12Trio of chocolate mousses with vanilla cream and cated orange.
26:28You know, I took the Prince of Wales here once.
26:30Think he might like to try something new.
26:32He loathed it.
26:35Loathed.
26:35Not just the concept or the decal or the people, but they made the cardinal mistake of refusing to put
26:41a softball egg on top.
26:44What?
26:45He has a softball egg with everything.
26:48You must know that.
26:49And he never eats garlic.
26:51Because of this bizarre new rule.
26:53Come supper time, he's always ravenous.
26:57Which new rule?
26:58The lunch rule.
27:02Darling, I would have thought it would have been one of the first things you'd have noticed about him.
27:05The Prince of Wales doesn't eat lunch.
27:08Well, never.
27:09Not if he can help it.
27:11And if he's forced to because of some engagement, it puts him in a terrible mood.
27:14And he drones on and on about gas and bloating and wasted energy due to needless digestion.
27:21I try to cheer him up, but when his tummy goes, so does his sense of humour, I'm afraid.
27:26One of his awful gurus put him onto it.
27:29Well, not gurus, but you know how he loves to surround himself with dreary old men and daddy substitutes.
27:35No.
27:37Darling, you really know nothing, do you?
27:41You need a proper Fred tutorial.
27:45No, thank you.
27:46Ah, si. Fabisco.
27:58Who's Fred?
28:01It's my nickname for the Prince of Wales.
28:03And he calls me Gladys.
28:05It's harmless nonsense, really.
28:08Right.
28:09Anyway, one of his boring friends, probably Laurence van der Post.
28:14Good luck with that, by the way.
28:15Snooze.
28:16Got into his head and said that it was only healthy to eat two meals a day.
28:19And since Fred says that breakfast is too delicious to give up and dinner's too important, it had to be
28:24lunch.
28:31Now that you mention it, we've hardly been with one another at lunchtime, so I haven't really noticed.
28:37Fact is, we've hardly been with one another at all.
28:39That's not true.
28:41It is.
28:44You met at Babington Horse Trials?
28:46Yes.
28:47Then Verdi's Requiem at the Albert Hall, with a chaperone.
28:49Granny, yes.
28:50Who didn't let you out of her sight for a second.
28:52What a second?
28:52Then the weekend at Balmoral, where you were a complete triumph.
28:56It'll go down in history as one of the great Balmoral debuts, the perfect ten.
29:00And then Highgrove?
29:05Golly.
29:06He obviously tells you everything.
29:08We talk most days.
29:12What did you think of it?
29:14Isn't it your house?
29:15Highgrove?
29:16Hmm.
29:19It's lovely.
29:20Isn't it?
29:21Hmm.
29:24He asked me what I would do with it if I was decorating.
29:29Did he?
29:30Hmm, yes.
29:31I'm rather good at all that.
29:33And what did you say?
29:35I said I'd like to shoot it up a bit.
29:37Make it a bit less stuffy.
29:39Give it a bit of colour, some yellows and peaches.
29:43And don't forget green, his favourite.
29:44And green.
29:46Do you garden?
29:47Not really.
29:48He's obsessed by gardening.
29:50Yes, I know.
29:51He's already talking about either a wild garden or a walled garden.
29:55Both.
29:56Both.
29:57And a kitchen garden and a sundial garden.
29:59Do you fish?
30:00No, not really.
30:01What about hunting?
30:02Not if I can help it.
30:03More of a townie, really.
30:06So you see yourself living more in London than in the country?
30:09Why do I ask?
30:12Just curious.
30:13Oh.
30:15I'm sorry.
30:16I can't stay for coffee.
30:17Well then let me get this.
30:20Absolutely not.
30:21I'm the senior party here.
30:23Oh please.
30:24Well let's go dutch.
30:27Good idea.
30:29I'm all for sharing.
30:30I'm all for sharing.
30:34Well then that is what I wanna do now.
30:46It's fine.
30:47I wanna make a mess.
30:49OK.
30:59I can see it.
31:22Lady Spencer is here to see you. She asked if she could work.
31:25Thank you. Can I help you, ma'am?
31:28I need to speak to the Prince of Wales as soon as possible.
31:32I'm afraid he's unavailable.
31:38Is that what he asked you to tell me?
31:40If my future wife wants to speak to me, make an excuse?
31:44No, His Royal Highness is unavailable because he's on an aeroplane, flying home.
31:51I thought he was flying back tomorrow.
31:52He was always flying back today.
31:59What are these?
32:02Those are drawings.
32:04Of what?
32:06I believe it's a bracelet which the Prince of Wales has had made.
32:11Who?
32:13Who?
32:14Who?
32:25Who?
32:27Who?
32:51Yes, ma'am?
32:52I need to speak to the Queen.
32:53I need to speak to her.
32:54Ma'am.
32:55Don't fog me off.
32:56It is absolutely essential that I see the Queen.
32:58This wedding can't go ahead.
33:01It will be a disaster for everyone.
33:02Her Majesty is unavailable at the moment, but I shall...
33:55I need to speak to the Queen.
33:58Let's pray.
37:52I had the bracelet made as a farewell gift
37:57A souvenir
38:00And I went to Gloucestershire for two reasons
38:02To tell Camilla face to face
38:03That it's over
38:08It's over
38:14And to collect this
38:19Open it
38:24The Signet Ring
38:26Prince of Wales insignia
38:33For the Princess of Wales
38:56Shall we begin the rehearsal?
38:57Let's pray
39:19Let's pray
39:34Marriage is an honourable estate
39:36Instituted of God himself
39:38And therefore is not by any to be enterprised
39:42Nor taken in hand
39:43Unadvisedly, lightly or wantonly
39:45But reverently, discreetly, soberly
39:48And in the fear of God

40:31How were rehearsals?
40:33Mummy and I thought lovely.
40:36Margaret disagrees.
40:38Charles loves someone else.
40:41How many times can this family make the same mistake?
40:48Forbidding marriages that should be allowed, forcing others that shouldn't.
40:57Paying the consequences each time.
41:03He's marrying Diana.
41:05But he's still in love with the other one.
41:08Let me say something as a man.
41:11The older Diana gets, the more confident Diana becomes, the more beautiful Diana becomes.
41:20Which she will.
41:21The more Charles will fall in love with her.
41:24This will be fine.
41:26In the meantime, he juggles them both.
41:30That's how it works.
41:34That's how it's always worked.
41:37It's madness.
41:38We can stop them now.
41:40Before they tie the knot.
41:41Not just for the sake of the monarchy, but for them.
41:45As human beings.
41:51We have to stop them.
41:53Now.
41:55Now.
42:02Now.
42:04Now.
42:08Now.
42:16Now.
42:35Mummy?
42:41When your great-grandmother, Queen Mary, was a beautiful young princess,
42:47she was about to marry her, Prince Charm-less.
42:50But before they got to the church, he fell ill and died.
42:54But everyone had been so impressed with her that they put her together with his younger brother.
42:58Only one problem, the younger brother was Prince Charm-less.
43:03Dile and shy.
43:04There was no attraction, certainly no love.
43:07But in order to make the marriage work, they were encouraged to focus on the bigger idea.
43:13Duty.
43:17They worked and worked and worked.
43:20And out of that work, a tiny seed grew.
43:24A seed of respect and admiration.
43:26A seed that grew into a flower they could eventually call love.
43:36They were married for 42 years.
43:39They stabilized the country that was at war with itself.
43:42And they left the crown stronger, while all around them great monarchies of Europe fell.
43:53Now, I cannot claim to be the most intuitive mother, but I do think I know when one of my
43:57children is unhappy.
44:01Whatever wretchedness you are feeling now, whatever doubts you harbor,
44:09if you could follow the example of your great grandmother.
44:14Love and happiness will surely follow.
44:17That is.
44:34That is
44:37Oh, my God.
45:08Oh, my God.
46:04Oh, my God.
46:14Oh, my God.
46:29Oh, my God.
46:33Oh, my God.
46:36Oh, my God.
46:38Oh, my God.
46:42Oh, my God.
46:46Oh, my God.
46:51Oh, my God.
47:03Oh, my God.
47:06day. But fairy tales usually end at this point with the simple phrase, they lived happily
47:15ever after. This may be because fairy tales regard marriage as an anticlimax after the
47:23romance of fortune. As husband and wife live out their vows, loving and cherishing one
47:31another, sharing life's splendors and miseries, achievements and setbacks, they will be transformed
47:40in the process. Our faith sees the wedding day not as the place of arrival, but the place
47:49where the adventure really begins.
