00:05And how does one describe being Prince of Wales?
00:13It's hardly a job, still less a vocation, it's simply a predicament.
00:22Previous Princes of Wales have been happy to have missed their lives in idle dissipation,
00:26but my problem is I can't bear idols, or dissipation.
00:31Every day I meet people from all walks of life, ministers, scientists, entrepreneurs,
00:37men and women my age, who've gone out into the world and made their mark.
00:45As precisely as a thing that I'm not allowed to do.
00:52In any other professional sphere, I'd be at the peak of my powers.
00:57Instead, what am I?
01:00I'm just a useless ornament, stuck in a waiting room, gathering dust.
01:12There I go again. Always a little wine with my cheese.
01:16No, it just feels so good to tell it as it is to close friends.
01:21We understand. You're a criminally wasted resource, sir.
01:25Just look at the extraordinary work you do with the Princes Trust.
01:28Turning young lives around, giving out thousands of grants a year.
01:3220,000, to be precise.
01:34Our latest initiative is this funding of evening centres up and down the country
01:39where children from crowded and low-income households can come and do their homework.
01:44What a wonderful idea.
01:46Doesn't sound like an ornament gathering dust to me.
01:50Thank you, Nancy.
01:51Now, the day's work is still not done, so will you excuse me?
01:57Good night.
01:58Good night, sir.
01:58Good night, sir.
01:59Good night, sir.
02:02Good night, sir.
02:32Come on, dahle, come on.
02:42I've got five cards.
02:44Hello?
02:45Andrew.
02:46You're Your Royal Highness.
02:48Does that need a nice tattoo?
02:51Mummy.

03:26we're alone now i'm in the bedroom in bed on top of it wacky old bed
03:34are you still in teshire i am missing you terribly
03:41back soon though my darling are you still making a speech in oxford tomorrow yes that's the reason
03:48i called actually could you bear to quickly listen to it is it very long only we're a full
03:52house no no short and punchy and a bit controversial which is why i want your opinion you always know
03:59best when to rein me in all right remind me of the subject the teaching of english language in schools
04:09it is quite astounding to think that in england we have produced one of the world's most beautiful
04:14languages however the rate at which that language is degenerating has become a cause for concern
04:21it's a tragedy for the next generation that in the birthplace of the language of keats
04:25of shelley of shakespeare efforts to preserve that language and uphold the standards of its teaching
04:31are no longer a priority if we look at the way english is used in business in the popular press
04:37programs or on television programs or indeed in our schools universities and institutions
04:43like you know that in the world there are no more we're not sure if we are not sure if
05:03we're not
05:03I got a push.
05:04All right, back side.
05:06Back side.
05:07Back side.
05:08Final action.
05:15Back side.
05:18Back side.
05:19Back side.
05:20Back side.
05:23Just call us a nail.
05:25Yeah, no, he's doing it.
05:27He's stuck in the pit, he's lost in.
05:29I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
05:30Sir, sir, take your car down and tell me exactly what not.
05:33You'll see just how at Barberage our great mother tongue has your car.
05:38Everything happens at the end of the day,
05:40and every situation is a win-win.
05:43As Prince of Wales, I won't be thanked for saying this,
05:47but the rock begins in the very institutions
05:50whose duty it is to preserve our proud linguistic and cultural heritage.
05:55If we want to produce the next generation of great writers,
05:58we must use our education system
06:00to protect what is surely our greatest national export,
06:04the English language,
06:06which, like any language,
06:08is so much more than a collection of words.
06:11It's a means of building bridges
06:13between people of different backgrounds, cultures, and generations.
06:19What do you think?
06:21Oh, I think it's brilliant.
06:23I mean, you could go further.
06:24Our language is like an endangered species
06:26that needs to be protected.
06:28It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
06:31Oh, I quite agree.
06:32I reached my private secretary,
06:34so I might have gone too far.
06:36I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
06:39Yes.
06:41I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
06:44Just feel one's way along with it, if you know what I mean.
06:49Mmm.
06:50You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
06:54Stop it.
06:58It's too dangerous.
07:00If we run this,
07:01we'd risk being responsible for breaking up a royal marriage.
07:06But, er,
07:07I don't want our friend crossing the street
07:09and selling it to anyone else, either.
07:13So pay him what he wants.
07:15Keep the tape,
07:16put it in the safe,
07:17and hope for another day.
07:22Be gone to sleep.
07:25Now I'm here.
07:30Night.
07:31Love you.
07:32Adore you.
07:35Night.
07:37Night.
08:05You are both resolved on this.
08:09No doubts.
08:10No hesitancy.
08:14This is really what you want.
08:17The end.
08:39Very well.
08:56with permission madam speaker i wish to inform the house that buckingham palace is at this moment
09:01issuing this statement it reads as follows it is with regret that the prince and princess of
09:07wales have decided to separate their royal highnesses have no plans to divorce and their
09:12constitutional positions are unaffected we share the great sorrow which this announcement will
09:18cause and ask the public to join us and pray in that god will bring comfort and strength to the
09:25prince and princess the decision by the prince and princess of wales to separate has been reached
09:29amicably they will both continue to participate fully in the upbringing of their children and
09:35will continue to carry out full and separate programs of public engagement the queen and the
09:42duke of edinburgh though saddened understand and sympathize with the difficulties that have led
09:46to this decision that is the text of the announcement
09:56i'm sure that i speak for the whole house and millions beyond it in offering our support to
10:01both the prince and princess of wales at this difficult time
10:04thank you very much so much
10:53When a vessel is in rough seas,
10:56it's sometimes necessary to alter her course.
11:01That's why we're all here today.
11:04Now, this particular expedition is the brainchild of the Lord Chamberlain.
11:09David, did you want to say a few words?
11:11Thank you, sir.
11:14I think we can all agree the last few years have been particularly challenging for the monarchy.
11:20The fire at Windsor Castle, the failure of several royal marriages,
11:26questions being raised as to the family's value for money, its relevance.
11:30Yes, all right. No need to go over it all again.
11:35And so, in consultation with Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,
11:40we've decided to set up an informal Council of War.
11:43A task force to safeguard the monarchy's survival in a rapidly changing world.
11:49And since the idea is to find new directions for a way forward...
11:54Ahead.
11:56Sir?
11:58Ahead, David. Way ahead.
12:03We would call it the Way Ahead Group.
12:07I suppose I should be grateful.
12:09I've been preaching the gospel of change for...
12:13I don't know how long. After 25 years they finally agree.
12:16And what did they come up with?
12:18Are we ready for this?
12:20Allowing the public into the royal box of the Albert Hall from time to time.
12:24Radical.
12:24Making the requirement to bow or curtsy to some members of the royal family optional.
12:30Giving the Royal Air Force Central Band a more enhanced role in the changing of the guards ceremony at the
12:35palace.
12:35And that's progressive because...
12:37They have some women members within their ranks.
12:39Vive la revolution!
12:39Quite.
12:41Meanwhile, nothing on constitutional reform.
12:43Nothing on the monarch being both head of state and supreme governor of the Church of England.
12:48How on earth to square that with a country that's supposed to be a modern democracy?
12:51I told them you should be thinking of something much more radical.
12:54You talk of cost-cutting measures and reform of the civilists.
12:59I say, why not abolish it altogether? Have the monarchy fund itself.
13:03You talk about including more women in the pomp and pageantry, but why not something more far-reaching than that?
13:09Ending the bar on the eldest daughters inheriting the throne.
13:12The problem with the ideas that you've presented today is that they don't reflect a modern Britain.
13:17What it looks like, what it feels like, what its concerns are.
13:21Education, the threat to the environment, better opportunities for disadvantaged youth.
13:25Things I've been campaigning on for years.
13:27I'm afraid I'd get rather carried away.
13:30Even dared bring up our great leader to her face.
13:34God.
13:35We all saw the unfortunate poll recently about Queen Victoria Syndrome and how many people find the crown remote and
13:43out of touch.
13:44You claim to want to refresh the monarchy.
13:47Well, what I'm proposing is precisely that.
13:49A new welfare monarchy that's less about mystery and magic and divine right and more about our practical role in
13:58today's society.
14:00That was a different Charles today.
14:03Separation from Diana has liberated him, energized him.
14:08And what if being informed and in touch is what people want from their sovereign?
14:15Having controversial opinions and agitating politically is not what people want from their sovereign.
14:24I just think while we're setting up committees or task forces hoping to find the ways forward,
14:31it might be useful to acknowledge that the solution we are looking for could be right under our noses.
14:41How did we find those victims and help us?
15:02Hey, Lord.
15:04Yes?
15:10Yep.
15:14Yep.
15:20Right.
15:38What's that?
15:57What's that?
16:01The recording was made by an amateur radio enthusiast.
16:05Having correctly identified your voices, he then sold it to the Daily Mirror.
16:10At the time, the newspaper decided not to go ahead with it because of the potential damage it might do
16:15to the royal marriage.
16:17But now that you and the Princess of Wales have officially separated, the newspaper feels at liberty to publish.
16:24And I think we must brace ourselves for the transcripts to be published in the UK in the coming days.
16:32How can they get away with this?
16:36It's a private conversation.
16:39Private matter between two adults. No one else's business.
16:43Unfortunately, sir, while the intentional interception of private phone calls is illegal,
16:48the amateur radio operator in this case claims to have stumbled upon the conversation by chance,
16:53which could be difficult to disapprove.
16:56Don't you remember the conversation?
16:59Have we discovered what was actually said?
17:04No details yet, but we're told it was intimate.
17:10Very intimate.
17:15What do you think?
17:17I think it's brilliant.
17:19I think you could go further.
17:21Our language is like an endangered species. It needs to be protected.
17:25It's a scandal the way we're letting it be slaughtered.
17:28I quite agree.
17:30I read it to my private secretary and thinks I might have gone too far.
17:34I suppose it might be better to leave the audience wanting more.
17:39Yes.
17:41I suppose one has to be aware of it in the room.
17:44Just feel one's way along with it.
17:47If you know what I mean.
17:50You're awfully good at feeling your way along.
17:53Stop it.
17:58God, I want to feel my way along you.
18:01All over you.
18:03Up and down you.
18:04In and out.
18:06Particularly in and out.
18:08That's just what I need at the moment.
18:10Is it?
18:12I know it would revive me.
18:15But I can't bear a Sunday night without you.
18:18God.
18:19It's like that program Start the Week.
18:22I can't start the week without you.
18:24I fill up your tank.
18:26Yes, you do.
18:27So you can cope.
18:29Then I'm all right.
18:31What about me?
18:34The trouble is I need you several times a week.
18:37So do I.
18:40I need you all the week.
18:42I need you all the time.
18:45Oh darling, I just want you now.
18:48Do you?
18:50So do I.
18:52Desperately.
18:53Desperately.
18:53God, I wish I could just...
18:56live inside your trousers or something.
18:58It would be so much easier.
19:00What are you going to turn into?
19:01A pair of knickers?
19:02Well, God forbid.
19:04Ten packs of just my luck.
19:07A complete idiot.
19:10What a wonderful idea.
19:12My luck to get chucked down the lavatrills.
19:14Keep on going on and on forever.
19:17Swirling around on top.
19:18Never going down.
19:19Darling.
19:21Till the next one comes through.
19:22Perhaps you could just come back as a box.
19:25What sort of box?
19:26A box of Tampax.
19:28You could just keep going.
19:30That's true.
19:36Have you gone to sleep?
19:38Now I'm here.
19:40Will you ring me when you wake up?
19:44Night-night, my darling.
19:45I do love you.
19:47Love you too.
19:50Don't want to say goodbye.
19:52Neither do I.
19:56Would you miss getting some sleep?
20:01Bye, darling.
20:04Bye.
20:05Bye.
20:07Press the button.
20:09I'm going to press the tit.
20:11Darling, I wish you were pressing mine.
20:13God.
20:15So do I.
20:17Harder and harder.
20:18Darling.
20:23Night.
20:26Night.
20:27Of you.
20:29I adore you.
20:32Night.
20:34Night.
21:06There's uproar in Britain over the publication of the so-called Camillagate tapes.
21:11The phone call allegedly between Prince Charles and a close female friend was taped three years ago.
21:15He will not come back from this. The tapes are filthy.
21:18It's raised doubts over whether the Prince of Wales can ever be king.
21:21Yet another royal scandal making headlines.
21:24Yet another bitter blow to a monkeying crisis.
21:27Sally Hinkman, NBC News, London.
21:35Here.
21:36I bought you some...
21:38Weapons grade entirely chemical cold medication.
21:42I know you're probably taking some sort of root...
21:45Herb.
21:47Garlic, ginger and elderberry.
21:49I thought I'd bring you something that actually works.
21:55Poor you.
21:59It's an assassination.
22:03Complete decimation of my character and...
22:07...everything I've worked so hard for.
22:10It's no secret, I think, over the years you've brought a great many of your problems upon yourself.
22:16But no one deserves this.
22:24It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
22:27It's as if none of these journalists have ever spoken to a lover over the phone.
22:30It's said embarrassing things.
22:33It was all a bit embarrassing, wasn't it?
22:36It was a little...
22:38...gynaecological, in my taste.
22:43Well...
22:43I've also taken my head out of my hands and my fingers out of my throat.
22:46God.
22:48There was a surprising residue left.
22:51Of being touched by...
22:54...two teenagers of a certain age being...
22:57...so gloriously human and...
23:00...entirely in love.
23:06For that alone you deserve some credit.
23:10In this family especially.
23:13You are sweet.
23:16I doubt our dear Papa will see it that way.
23:27All right.
23:30I'll speak to you tomorrow.
23:32All right.
23:38If I weren't so ashamed, I might confess the admiration of the sheer scale of your achievement.
23:44In one fell swoop you've succeeded in alienating the church over your moral fitness.
23:49The politicians over your conduct unbecoming.
23:52The House of Commons is in uproar.
23:55They're saying we've pressed the self-destruct button.
24:01Among your many entirely unjustified military honours...
24:05...is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Wales.
24:09I wonder if you might remind us of their motto.
24:16In English.
24:20Better death than dishonour.
24:22What's that? Speak up!
24:22Better death than dishonour.
24:26A sentiment on which you would do well to reflect.
24:37Are you still here?
24:54You're so painful.
24:57And so public.
25:00So unnecessary too.
25:03Everyone in HQ is frightened, my dear father included.
25:07They don't know how the world has changed and everyone's just blaming everyone else.
25:11That's no excuse for gratuitous, sadistic exhibitionism.
25:15Sounds like playground bullying.
25:18The way the sycophants all nodded.
25:22Grateful that his invective wasn't directed at them for once.
25:27It leaves me no choice but to...
25:33To protect yourself.
25:37To...
25:38...look after yourself.
25:44Yes.
25:53Historians will not be able to pinpoint a moment when the breakaway happened...
25:56...because nothing official has happened.
25:58But a change is happening.
26:00I ask you to look around you.
26:01What do you see?
26:01Not old stuffy courtiers, but young professional men and women of today.
26:07The way ahead group, or the lagging behind group as I like to call them...
26:11...was set up to prepare the monarchy for the coming millennium.
26:14But it seems to me they hold some confusion as to which millennium we're actually in.
26:17I think as a guiding principle, if we're interested in saving the monarchy...
26:21...we should do the exact opposite of what the way ahead group recommends.
26:24I think we all agree and polls certainly show that the monarchy is in a rut.
26:28A dangerous rut.
26:29It's vital that people are given a reason to believe in and be excited about the future.
26:33And if one asks oneself what the future of the monarchy is, then the answer is...
26:37...is you, sir.
26:38But right now the problem is, no one knows you.
26:41They don't know who you really are, nor what you think or feel.
26:43I quite agree.
26:46Well, what should we do about that?
26:48Well, one thought that we had was that, um...
26:52...perhaps a mature, progressive, open television special would be a way to go.
26:57Where the Prince of Wales is finally given the opportunity to freely air his voice.
27:02Alongside an expansive and wide-ranging interview, we could grant cameras, unprecedented access to a future king at work...
27:09...an intimate and authoritative profile of an enlightened, thoughtful, forward-thinking man...
27:16...who has been Prince of Wales for a quarter of a century...
27:19...and a chance for him to lay out his vision for a modern monarchy, a modern Britain.
27:24Who are you thinking of as the interviewer?
27:27Well, there are a number of candidates, but the name we're most excited about is...
27:30...is Jonathan Dimbleby.
27:33Hmm.
27:34He's serious, he's forthright, he's independent-minded.
27:38...County Durham would be ideal if we're going from South Jones to...
27:40People will know that it's not puffery or chocolate box royalism with Dimbleby.
27:46There is an element of risk.
27:49He's bound to ask about the marriage at some point.
27:53...but, in our view, there's... there's a far greater prospect of reward.
28:00Hmm.
28:04Hmm.
28:04Let's take your time.
28:05We've measured.
28:07Do you have to go set?
28:08Let's go.
28:08Good.
28:09Right. This is it.
28:12You're told.
28:13Where are you?
28:15Sir.
28:15Where do you want me?
28:16Please.
28:19Right, please.
28:23Five, four, three...
28:27Your Royal Highness, it's... it's fair to say that in recent years...
28:31...the Royal Family has been plagued by a...
28:34...certain amount of adversity.
28:36Do you think, with all these setbacks...
28:39...to your family and to you, personally, that the monarchy can still survive?
28:45Well, more than that, I hope it can...
28:49...can flourish.
28:50But to do so, it needs to adapt.
28:53It's no secret that I'm open to the idea of reform.
28:57I think that we're at a make-or-break time for the monarchy.
29:00We need to be radical.
29:02But, of course, there's only so much that I can do as Prince of Wales.
29:07As King, you will also find yourself at the head of an established church.
29:11In the past, you have shown an interest in other faiths.
29:14How does that sit with a future role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England?
29:19Defender of the faith?
29:21Of course, I prefer to think of myself not as a defender of just one faith...
29:26...the Church of England.
29:27But as a defender of faith in general.
29:31Why should the Church of England have a monopoly on the Crown?
29:34What about the Jews and Catholics and Sikhs and Muslims and Hindus?
29:38Are they not its subjects as well?
29:40There is, of course, one question above all that burns in the public's mind...
29:45...and that relates to your marriage to the Princess of Wales.
29:48One of the most serious allegations concerning your marriage is that you were repeatedly unfaithful...
29:54...and that your close association with Camilla Parker Bowles was a deciding factor in its collapse.
30:00How do you answer that?
30:05Mrs. Parker Bowles is a dear friend of mine, a wonderful friend that I'm jolly lucky to have.
30:13And even within a marriage, one must still nurture outside friendships.
30:18And Mrs. Parker Bowles is just one of a number of friends that I've been close to over the years.
30:28When you married your wife, you made a pledge before God to uphold your wedding vows.
30:34Did you at least try to be faithful from the start?
30:37Of course.
30:38And were you?
30:39Yes.
30:46Until...
30:51Until it became obvious that the marriage couldn't be saved, both of us having done our best.
31:03At which point I...
31:07...tried to do my duty.
31:11But there was...
31:14...there was nothing to be done.
31:19So, yes...
31:23...old friendships were rekindled.
31:29You've been very forthright in your response.
31:32Very honest.
31:34Is it your hope that this issue will now go away?
31:38Well, I'd certainly prefer it.
31:42It typically stems, I think, from when...
31:45...when we in the monarchy set ourselves up as a sort of ideal.
31:50As husbands, or as wives, or as parents.
31:54And very often the truth is very far from that.
31:58The question people have to ask themselves is what do they want in their leaders?
32:03Do they want someone who errs but who learns from their mistakes?
32:07Who grows?
32:09Who recognizes the need for change?
32:11Who has a vision?
32:13Or someone who is content to continue making the same mistakes?
32:19And to keep things as they are?
32:24Really, I think that's the clear choice that people are faced with.
32:30This desire for progression extends to many aspects of your work as Prince of Wales.
32:40Prince Charles bared his soul to the nation last night in a television documentary designed to showcase his work as
32:46Prince of Wales.
32:47And he appeared to have no regrets as he greeted onlookers today during his first public appearance since the programme
32:53aired.
32:56His aides were letting it be known they'd been delighted with the response to his controversial television profile.
33:02Palace officials said they'd been deluged with calls of support.
33:06The programme contained a number of intimate revelations, including the Prince's close friendship with Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles.
33:12The admission divided viewers between those who felt it was a refreshing attempt to clear the air and those who
33:18felt the Prince had made an error of judgment.
33:21There was no comment from Kensington Palace, but the Princess of Wales upstaged her husband by attending the Serpentine Gallery's
33:28annual summer party this evening, putting on a defiant display in what many are already calling her revenge dress.
33:43The Prince and Princess remain focused on their public roles, but there is little doubt that the War of the
33:49Waleses has entered a new and more volatile phase.
33:55Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla, let me down!
34:02Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla! Camilla!
34:05Camilla! Camilla! The heliências paper, there was a great day! What do you say to that, Camilla? Camilla?
34:13They were sleeping. Coming back to the plunge.
34:36Reaction to the interview is divided
34:38between those that feel the prince has shown himself unfit to be king
34:42and should have had the good grace to stay silent
34:46and those that have been pleasantly surprised
34:52by what they saw and heard.
34:57Interestingly, it was his desire to be defender of faith in general
35:01to Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Sikhs, Hindus
35:06rather than defender of the faith that has won most favour.
35:11His words having undeniably connected with whole constituencies
35:16that are traditionally left unreached by the monarchs.
35:19It is not a monarch's role to campaign or chase constituencies like a politician
35:23because the crown itself is a unifying symbol.
35:27It binds together a kingdom of four nations
35:30and a worldwide multiracial commonwealth, symbolically.
35:35Charles is frustrated
35:37because the crown has many of the functions of an inanimate object.
35:42He prefers to be animate.
35:44But there's a danger in that.
35:46One can end up undoing more than doing.
36:03That's a problem.
36:10You're not eating?
36:13No, I don't have an appetite. I'm so surprised you do.
36:19Why? It's delicious.
36:22What's all this I hear about a book?
36:27The idea is to do a book following on from the interview,
36:30taking some of the points further.
36:31Why?
36:35Because a lot of the really important things I wanted to say
36:37about education and environment and architecture
36:39got drowned out by all the hoo-ha about adultery.
36:43Also, people are interested.
36:46Maybe not as interested as you think.
36:49Maybe more interested than you think.
36:52My post bag is anything to go by.
37:02In the 18th century, it was considered perfectly normal
37:04for the Prince of Wales to set up shop at Leicester House
37:06to generate fresh ideas.
37:10Shadow monarchy, in essence. A rival court.
37:13But this is not the 18th century.
37:16And creating rival courts is not what we do in this family.
37:20We close ranks behind the sovereign, not criticise her.
37:26We're all after the same thing, Anne.
37:34We're all after the same thing, Anne.
37:35You sure you went to have some of this asparagus?
37:37It's fresh from the garden.
37:56Marietal.
37:57Liz, it's about time.
37:57Come on.
37:59To me.
38:08Outside of another hand...
38:08Because, my daughter's brother's brother's brother,
38:08she meets a man across her blood like an intelligent family
38:08and yes, I think she'd come with her.
38:10For years, I've doubted Charles.
38:15He wasn't strong enough.
38:20Tough enough.
38:22But look what he's just come through.
38:25First that phone recording, subsequent humiliation.
38:29Then that interview and subsequent criticism.
38:32It hasn't broken him.
38:34The opposite.
38:36He might be as mad as everyone thinks.
38:37But he's not as weak as everyone thinks.
38:43Charles I saw today was strong.
38:46Confident.
38:48Mature.
38:50Not only does he have what it takes for the job, in some ways he's already begun.
38:55What do you mean?
38:57For the past year, possibly more.
39:00Charles has been slowly but surely setting up his own court at St James'.
39:07His own Camelot.
39:09His own advisors.
39:11His own modern, progressive agenda.
39:16He knows one day he will be King Charles III.
39:20And if we want to know what that will look and feel like...
39:25Well, he's starting to show us.
39:41The whole point of the Prince's Trust is to equip young people like you with the skills and the confidence
39:48to fulfill your dreams and ambitions.
39:53Now you may think that someone of my age and background wouldn't understand young people in your communities and the
39:59unfair judgment of society that you sometimes face.
40:04Well, as it happens, I do understand a little bit about what it is to be criticized and judged.
40:12And I also know that those judgments are mostly not true.
40:18That people out there have no idea who I really am.
40:24I'm sure that each of you has something within you, an unacknowledged greatness, a talent that deserves to be recognized.
40:37And that's what the Prince's Trust is all about.
40:40To give you the confidence to believe in your ideas and the money to bring them to fruition.
40:48I want to reach those that have been overlooked, rejected, to make sure that you've been given a chance.
40:57Because it's only when we risk reaching too far that we find out how far it's possible to go.
