(car door closes)

(heels clack)

(car door closes)
(engine starts)

(distant dog barks)

Don't worry, darling.
Everything will be all right.

When's Mommy coming back?

She doesn't want to live with
us, Diana. Not any longer.

She didn't even kiss me goodbye.

I expect she meant to.

You'll see her in a few weeks.

I want her to come back.

Did we do something wrong?

I suppose I must have.

Your mother just
needs some time.

She's gone to live with...

Somewhere else.

It's all my fault. I was
supposed to be a boy, wasn't I?

Oh, don't talk such nonsense.

To take John's
place after he died.

Neither you nor your brother

were supposed to take
the place of anybody.

That's it.

Now then, let's see what
Nanny's got in the kitchen.

(bombastic marching band music)

In front of Buckingham Palace,

the crowds have gathered to
join the Queen and her family

to celebrate her birthday in
the time-honored tradition.

Her Majesty acknowledges the
enthusiastic cheers of her

loyal subjects with a familiar
smile and courteous wave.

Thank you, Daddy.

I hope you enjoy them, Diana.

(spectators cheer)
(marching band music)

It pleases me greatly,
Charles, to know that

one day you will be
standing here as King.

Well, I hope that won't
be for a very long time.

Please see, Grandma.

Yes.

Oh, they're lovely, Diana.

Tell me.

What do you think you'd
like to be when you grow up?

A ballet dancer or a princess.

Oh. (chuckles)

Don't be such a ninny, Diana.

Sarah, the first
lady Diana Spencer

almost married the Prince of
Wales, over 200 years ago.

Didn't he love her, Grandma?

She was probably a ninny, too.

That's why he broke up with her.

Prince Charles exchanging
a few words now-

He's got funny ears.

(plane engines roar)

(bright orchestral music)

Dutch!

Come on over!

Come on!

Do you remember my
baby sister, sir?

Lady Diana Spencer.

Sir.

Oh, gosh, yes.

But I haven't seen you
since you were this high.

(Diana chuckles)

She's home for the
weekend from West Heath.

What are your best
subjects, Diana?

Swimming and diving and
ballet's my absolute passion,

but I'm getting a bit tall
for that now. (chuckles)

(Charles chuckles)

Well, we'll leave you
to your shooting, sir.

Do you like him?

I think he's really amazing.

But aren't you scared of
saying the wrong thing?

(chuckles) Don't
be so silly, Dutch.

Just think. Your sister,
Queen of England.

You seem pretty sure of him?

What could I possibly do wrong?

He loves me.

And as long as those
reporters leave me alone,

I'm quite certain he'll
ask me to marry him.

I feel so sorry for Sarah.

I don't understand
what she's done wrong.

(scoffs) She babbled
to the press.

You just can't say everything
that comes into your head.

Our wicked stepmother
does, doesn't she?

Perhaps your
grandmother, Lady Fermoy,

might have a word
with the Queen Mother?

It's far too late for that.

I just wanted the reporters
to leave Charles and I alone.

(sighs) The reporters won't
leave the Royal Family alone

and you deserve what
you get for telling them

you wouldn't marry the King
of England if he asked.

She meant no harm, Raine.

You're too soft
with people, Johnny.

If he really loved me,
he'd have understood.

Or at least forgiven me.

Your mistake was giving
him something to forgive.

(upbeat music)

It's just like a fairytale.

Odd that you're invited
for tonight, Dutch.

Why?

You're a bit young for
this sort of thing.

Well, you two were both in
society when you were my age.

Anyway, don't you
think it's a little odd

that you were invited
to Charles' 30th?

No, Charles and I are
still good friends.

Oh, dear.

Charles is such a romantic.

Pity he never stays
in love very long.

Sour grapes, Sarah?

I'm going to see who
else is here tonight.

Don't pay any attention
to her, Diana.

She still hasn't got over
Charles dropping her.

(both giggle)

You must have known at least

half the girls in
this room tonight.

(chuckles) I'm afraid
I have fallen in love

with rather a lot of them
and I suppose eventually

I'll fall in love with
the rest of them, too.

Seriously, Charles, I
know it's a difficult task

finding exactly the right
person, the wife you deserve,

but I really think you must try.

Well, I have found a few, sir.

You've lost a few because
you haven't let them know

you also cared for them.

When Camilla and I were parted,

I was faced with
six months at sea.

Women have been known
to wait, you know.

Did you ever tell her
that you loved her?

Not in so many words, no.

It helps to let women
know how you feel.

They find it comforting.

Odd, aren't we,
Lord Mountbatten?

Good evening, Camilla.
Radiant as ever, I see.

And you're a
delicious liar, sir.

You haven't asked me
to dance yet, Charles.

Then let my feet apologize.

Lovely girl.

Yes, it's a great pity he
let her go. She suits him.

Well, Fred, see anything
here that catches your eye?

Yes.
(Camilla chuckles)

Happy birthday, darling.
Thank you.

How does it feel to be 30?

Well, still young enough
to enjoy the hunt, that is.

Then why did you tell all
those dreadful reporters

that 30 was a good age to marry?

"After seeing a great deal
of life," I believe you said,

"and having met a few girls."

Yes, well, I've lived to
regret that, as you know.

That's why I'm determined to
wait and stay out of trouble.

Ladies.

Hello, Grandma.
Isn't it wonderful?

Yes, Diana, it's a lovely party.

How's your father feeling?

Much better, thank you.

It was a terrible stroke.

The doctor says he's going
to be able to walk again.

Oh, good.

How nice to see that
Charles and Camilla

have remained such good friends.

He might well have been
dancing with you, Sarah,

had you but observed the rules.

No matter.

We'll both find
other fish to fry.

Sit up straight,
Diana, don't slouch.

And for heaven sakes,
stop biting your nails.

You're growing up so quickly.

I hope I stop soon, ma'am.

I'm already so much taller
than the boys my age.

That's the trouble with boys,
they so often come up short.

(Diana chuckles)

Isn't it wonderful
living in London?

This flat is the best birthday
present I could ever have.

I know you only got
it because you wore

your parents down with
your tiresome whining.

Ha, ha, ha.
Hello?

James!

Hi.
Hello.

Brilliant, thanks.

Hello, Carolyn.
Hello.

(sighs) It's all mine, James.

All mine.
It looks great, Diana.

We're gonna have so
much fun here together,

and I have to put a
huge great sofa here,

and we can all watch
telly together. (chuckles)

Isn't it amazing how you
like to organize people?

Everyone in their
place, including you.

Hah!

Mm, this looks really good.

God, isn't everything
working out well.

Which is exactly
what you counted on.

(upbeat pop music)
(lively chatter and laughter)

But why not?

Because you'll laugh at me.

Well, tell me anyway.

I've just always
had this feeling

that I've got to save myself.

From what?

I don't know, just a feeling.

Like something wonderful
is waiting to happen to me.

Anyway, I've decided.
No sex before marriage.

You're completely bonkers. You
do realize that, don't you?

Yeah. (chuckles)

Oh well, nevermind, at
least we can still have

a bit of a laugh
from time to time.

(gun fires rapidly)

(guns fire rapidly)

(wings flap)

(gun fires)

(gun fires rapidly)

(somber orchestral music)

We've heard from Ireland.

Uncle Dickie?

Yes.

IRA.

Those bastards.

Thank you.

And although he could
be ruthless with people,

when the occasion demanded,
his infectious enthusiasm,

sheer capacity for
hard work, his wit,

made him an irresistible
leader among men.

The quality of real moral
courage of being able

to face unpleasant tasks
that need to be done,

and yet to be fair
and consistent is a
rare quality, indeed.

But he had it in abundance
and that is one of the reasons

why people would have
followed him into hell.

After 50 years of service to
the Royal Navy that he loved,

and after defending his
country in two world wars,

they finally succeeded
in murdering a man

who was desperately trying
to sew the seeds of peace.

We will remember him.

(water splashes)

Cold.

Even for November.

Cold for any time of the year.

Particularly cold for November.

I don't mind the cold, actually.

(water splashes)

I can't recall when
it was this cold.

Last year, this time precisely.

(scoffs) Yes but
not as cold as this.

I remember thinking
it was extremely cold.

Not that I mind it.

It's time you pulled your
socks up and got married.

I don't feel particularly
domestic at the moment.

Well, you've courted half
the girls in the country.

How long's it take to
find a protestant virgin?

One doesn't want
to make a mistake.

After all, it is for life.

What if I marry the wrong girl?

Your quest for a suitable
companion has become

a national pastime
for the papers.

Damn the press anyway.

Your mother is as anxious
about this as I am.

She would like you to
become king in her lifetime,

so you must find a
wife and settle down.

Your duty is to produce an heir.

It's like being put out to stud.

Yes, it is rather.

This is no time to be droopy.

I never knew a boy who had
such trouble getting to things.

Always dithering.

Hello, gorgeous.
Hello, Philip.

I was just washing
the floor, actually.

Sorry.

You interested in polo?
Nope.

It's really boring.

But what if Prince
Charles was playing?

Less boring.

And how do you feel
about a weekend

in the country with my family?

Oh, absolutely!

You might like Charles.

Well, I've never really
given it that much thought.

Well, don't miss
this chance, Diana.

He's the goods.

Hm.

Might be a giggle.

Diana's grown into
a lovely girl.

She has her mother's beauty
and her father's wit, ma'am.

We're all very fond of her.

And it goes without
saying she has no past.

But does she have ambitions?

None, I think, outside the
kitchen and the nursery.

Well, in the end, it all
comes down to character.

She seems as if
she's ready to marry.

How old is Diana now?

19 in July.

Well, one only hopes
she finds the right man.

I'd like her to marry Will.

Yes, a girl of her
character should.

(horse snorts)
(Diana giggles)

Mind if I join you?
Oh, no, sir. Do.

I think horses are the most

magnificent animals
in the world.

Absolutely, sir.

They have both strength
and beauty, an irresistible

combination, both in
horses and women, I think.

What did you make of
the polo this morning?

I thought it was
really exciting.

I've been wondering,
how did you come up

with the name Diable Bleu?

Well, I thought it
had a romantic ring.

Hm, I suppose it does really,
now that you mention it.

Sit down?
Hm.

Why is he blue?

Well, perhaps, Lady
Diana, because he's made

so many other people blue, he's
finally turned blue himself.

(Diana laughs)

(laughs)

I shall have to return
to the palace tomorrow.

Really?

Well, there's the usual
papers to sign and I'm, uh,

and I'm scheduled to meet
at the regional committee

of the Prince's Trust.

They work you too hard.

Well, it's as close as I
come to a job. (chuckles)

Perhaps you'd like to
drive back with me?

I'd love to, sir,
thank you, but I can't.

Oh.

Why not?

Well, I'm afraid it might
seem rude to my hosts.

Not that you meant that.

Oh, yes. Of course.

Well, (chuckles) one feels
secure around you, Diana.

Thank you, sir.

I think my uncle
might have approved.

Lord Mountbatten's
death must have been

a terrible loss for you.

He was more like a father.

He always had time for me.

(chuckles)

"His droopy," my
father calls me.

(Diana giggles)

Very perceptive.

Occasionally, I'm happy.

I know exactly what you
mean about your uncle.

My grandmother's the one
I depend on. (chuckles)

(Charles chuckles)

(doorbell buzzes)

Can you see who that is?
Mm-hm.

Hello?

Oh!

Yeah, um, come up.

Who is it?

It's Prince Charles'
private secretary.

(chuckles) For me?

Who else?

You might want to
put your trousers on.

Oh, god, yes.

(knocks)

Hello, um, come in.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Lady Diana?
Yeah.

His Royal Highness asked
me to deliver this by hand.

Thank you.

"His Royal Highness,
the Prince, Charles,

"requests the pleasure of
your company at eight p.m.

"at the Royal Albert Hall,

"to be followed by
dinner afterwards at
Buckingham Palace!"

Your grandmother, Lady Fermoy,
is being invited as well.

They're performing
Verdi's Requiem.

But this is tonight.

I'm sure were he here
His Royal Highness

would apologize
for the lateness.

You will be there?
Oh, yes, of course.

Good day, then.
Bye bye.

Well, it didn't take him long.

I told you things went well.

Oh, no, but my hair.
It's fine!

I haven't got anything to wear.

Of course you have!
Oh, I don't want to go!

You must!

What am I going to talk about?

Don't.

Listen attentively,
smile sweetly,

and agree with
everything he says.

But I don't know
anything about Verdi.

Call Gilbey, he
knows everything.

There's nothing to worry about.

Your grandmother will be there.

Verdi's known for
his operatic works.

His wife died early,
within a year,

his children died also.

The Requiem came
late after he turned

to religion for consolation.

Now, stop worrying. You
like Prince Charles.

(chuckles) We're supposed
to like Prince Charles.

It's our patriotic duty.

How do I look?
Like a queen.

(chuckles) Well, that's
the idea, isn't it?

("Requiem")

(audience cheers and applauds)

Is this the first
time you've heard

Verdi's Requiem, Lady Diana?
No, sir.

No, it's my favorite
of all Verdi's works.

It's so wonderfully sad.

You can really imagine
how, after his wife died,

finding his comfort in God.

Yes.

Well, I tell you
what I told them.

The building is a
monstrous carbuncle

on the face of a much
loved and elegant friend.

The irony is that
the London skyline

has stood unchanged
for 300 years.

It survived the
industrial revolution,

it survived the
Blitz, almost intact.

You speak with such eloquence,
Charles, and such passion.

Don't you think so, my dear?

Yes, Granny.

The only thing it can't
survive is modern architecture.

Developers who build with no
regard for height or design.

One of the treasures
of the world

has been lost to rank commerce.

It's dreadful, sir.

Is the dinner not
to your liking?

No. Yes, yes, sir.

I know you're doing
your best, Diana,

but you must try and hold onto
your end of the conversation.

But I'm tongue-tied around him.

I so want to impress him

that I end up looking
like an idiot.

No, you looked like
a sweet, shy girl,

but you're going to
have to do better.

I've heard that you might
be invited to Balmoral.

What do I wear?

What do I say? I
don't shoot or fish.

The lovely thing about Balmoral

is that doing nothing has
been raised to a fine art.

Then it really is
some kind of test.

They have to be sure that
whoever might marry the Prince,

and you're only one of
numerous contenders,

is made of the right stuff.

(chatter and laughter)

Have a good day, Charles?

Yes, spent the afternoon
stalking a stag.

Lost him as evening fell.

How very unlucky.

For you, sir, but perhaps the
stag escaped so he may have

the honor of being stalked
by you another day.

(chuckles) Yes, my children
have always enjoyed

a splash of blood.

(clears throat) Are you
enjoying Balmoral, Lady Diana?

It's the best place
in the world, sir.

Thought I might go for a
spot of fishing tomorrow.

I'm afraid I don't know how.

(chuckles) Well, you needn't
actually cast a line.

You're to keep me company.

She's quite pretty, isn't she?

She's just a silly girl, Andrew.

I'm not at all sure what
Charles sees in her.

(laughter)

Oh, we need a fourth
bridge after dinner.

Count me in.
Oh, yes, please.

(chuckles) That makes five.

I'm sorry.

You play, Diana.

I've had my turn.

(Diana chuckles)

Alfred tells me you have
your own place, Diana.

I love it.

Nobody to tell me what to do
or when to do it. (chuckles)

Well, it sounds
seemingly pleasant.

And you teach at a
kindergarten, hm?

I really love working
with children.

I think it's a
suitable profession

for a girl of your class.

Do you think you would
make a good mother?

No one's ever asked
me that before.

The most important thing
for me is that my children

have a better
childhood than I had.

I don't think I'll ever forget
my mother packing her bags

and leaving like she did.

There they are.

Back up the top.
Your Highness?

Sir?

Charles, look! Look!
(cameras snap)

Get out of there!

Get away!

You stay here, I'll
make myself scarce.

Well, that's done it.

(cameras snap)

(paparazzi chatter)

Here she is.
Hang on a minute, look.

Get her picture.
Sure.

Good morning.
Morning.

What is your relationship
with Prince Charles?

I won't say anything
about the Prince.

Who told you to keep quiet?

No one, it was my decision.

I really can't make
any comment on it.

I'm sorry, it must be
an awful bore for you.

Well just pose
for a few pictures

and we promise we'll
leave you alone.

If you stand over here,
the light's better.

Oh, yeah. Nice one, Frank, yeah.

Good idea, Barry.

Beautiful!
Now could you just-

Hold the little
girl closer, please.

Give her a hug, give
the little girl a hug.

And smile, please?

(cameras snap)

Lovely.
Thank you.

That's it.
Yeah, that's fantastic.

Thank you.
Very good.

Hello.

Well, I knew your
legs were good,

but I didn't realize they
were that spectacular.

Did you really have to
show them to everybody?

(giggles) They look
like piano legs.

No, actually, they look
pretty good to me. (chuckles)

I trust you'll be
able to join me

at the Parker-Bowles'
for the clan handicap?

Certainly, sir,
I'd be delighted.

Good, see you there.

Bye.

Well?
(Diana chuckles)

I'm going to be joining
him at the Parker-Bowles',

if I can get past
that horde outside.

Things are serious.

I hear Camilla
inspects all his girls.

Well, if you spend time
with him, you get her too.

Make him forget her.

Well, if I'm deciding
who I want to live with

for the next 50 years,
it's not a decision

on which I want my head
to be ruled by my heart.

What a peculiar thing to
say. Diana's a lovely girl.

Yes but is she up to the job?

Oh, she's young and trainable.
She'll do what she's told.

I'm sure she won't
give you any trouble.

Anyway, do you know how
she feels about you?

I really have no idea.

Well, hon, you better ask her.

Hm.

Mind if I borrow your
friend? (chuckles)

I think it was Ruskin who said

a garden should possess
a tangled splendor.

Yes. Yes, I think it was Ruskin.

I'm just wondering, if
you were to marry someone

a good deal older than
you, Diana, how difficult

do you think it would be
to make the adjustment?

Well, that would depend
on the person, sir.

Well, some people are
older than others.

(chuckles)

When a man in my
position marries,

the choice has to be
made very carefully.

It has to be someone special,

someone who can
fulfill the role.

I think you're lucky
if you find the person

attractive in the physical
as well as the mental sense,

but I think basically marriage
is a friendship, Diana.

A partnership.

Well, you certainly seem to
have thought about this a lot.

A woman not only marries a man,

she marries into a way of life.

A job.

She's got to have
some knowledge of it.

Well, I think a woman's role
is to support her husband

whenever she can,
to encourage him.

(chuckles)

You've asked me a
lot of questions.

May I ask you one?

Yes, certainly.
(Diana chuckles)

Don't you think you
ought to be in love

with the woman you
marry? (chuckles)

(chuckles) Yes, of course,
that would be the ideal.

But I was just
wondering how you feel.

I think love is wonderful.

Well, that's a start.

I would never get married
unless I was absolutely sure

that I loved someone
'cause if you're not sure,

you might get a
divorce and I never,

never, never want
to get divorced.

Thank you.

(car door closes)

Just bought the place.

There must be a
wildflower meadow here,

carp pond over there,

and the walled garden,
ornamental specimen trees,

flowers and wildflowers.

Oh and of course, vegetables.

One couldn't wish
for a better house.

My sister Anne's 10
minutes to the north,

and of course,
the Parker-Bowles.

Right.

Just watch your step here
because it's a workman.

Camilla suggested I might
like to buy the house.

I think it's nice when a man
can be friends with a woman.

Yes, quite.

Let's go up.

I was given this in Mombasa.
(Diana chuckles)

It is rather unique, isn't it?

Mm.

Well, this would be an
ideal room for a nursery.

Lots of light, away
from everything.

Not too far.

I think children should
be part of the family.

Not tucked away with
nurses and nannies,

only to be brought out like
trophies at meal times.

I never got to see
enough of my mother.

(melancholy music)

I know how that feels.

I can still remember
her returning

from a four-month tour of India.

They took me down to
the ship to meet her.

I was so happy to see her again.

But I had to wait in the
line with the rest of them.

When she got to me finally,
she just shook my hand.

Well, I mean, I know
it was the proper thing

for the Queen to do, but...

All I wanted was a hug.

I am never going to let
that happen to my children.

I want to be with
them as they grow up.

That's lovely, sir.

(both chuckle)

Let's.

(chuckles) I've been told you
have excellent taste, Diana.

I thought you might
like to organize

the interior decoration.

Decorating a house is
a very personal matter.

It means choosing what
one will live with.

Yes, precisely.

After you.

Thank you.
Round to right here.

Rhubarb's one of the few plants
that need a good talking to.

If only to give it
encouragement, make
it feel wanted.

Perhaps you'd be better
off having somebody

more experienced?

Hm?

Well, I thought this
might be a good way

for you to get to
know me better.

I'm very flattered by your
request, sir, but I really

don't think at the moment
I'm the person for the job.

Yes.

I'm surprised you feel that way.

(sighs) This is not my house.

One decorates the house
in which one lives.

I can see myself devoting
years to the garden.

I find weeding quite...

Therapeutic.

I worry about Charles.

He lacks decisiveness.

It's good that he
takes his time, ma'am.

So much depends on his decision.

You're right, Ruth.

Poor Edward chose so badly.

That dreadful American.

There was a time when I thought

we might be the end of the line.

I remember how hard
you had to work

to put things right again.

You and King George.

I trust you're not having doubts

about Diana's ability to cope?

Not at all.

You must be sure she knows
what the job entails.

That's her car.

Morning, Lady Diana.
Morning.

Has Prince Charles asked you?

I can't confirm or deny it.

Is it true that on
November the 5th,

you spent the night with Prince
Charles on the Royal train?

I've never been anywhere
near the Royal train.

Much less in the
middle of the night.

Are you able to tell us whether
he's popped the question?

Were you with him just now?

Morning!

You're disgustingly early,
James. Do you want some tea?

Love some.

Thought you might like
to see this, squidgie.

Oh.

"Love in the Royal train."

I don't leap in and
out of bed with people.

I'm not like that!

Charles knows the truth.
Yes, he does.

He hasn't even
kissed me, you know.

Let alone asked me to marry him.

He has, however, asked
me to decorate his house

and I said no.

You had the nerve
to turn him down?

I want to marry him, Carolyn,

not decorate that awful place.

Then he's finding out that
you're wilful and obstinate

and you expect to
get your own way.

I just want everything
to be perfect.

And right now all I want is
those awful men out there

to go away and leave me alone.

I don't know if I can cope.

Those awful little
men go along with it.

Hang on a little bit longer.

I want you to denounce this
story as totally false.

The palace press office
is to demand a retraction.

Do it now, please.
Yes, ma'am.

God save us from those vultures.

Well, Diana will have
to get accustomed

to this sort of thing.

At least it's useful
in that respect.

Might I suggest, ma'am,
that you personally

have a word with some
of the publishers?

Ask them to go
easy on Lady Diana.

I'm sure they'd be
glad to oblige you.

Thank you.

Perhaps just this once, I shall.

She's coping with it all
fairly well, I suppose.

Possibly, unlike her sister
Sarah, she has the knack

of saying nothing whatsoever
with great distinction.

Now, gentlemen.

(photographers yell)
(cameras snap)

(Diana giggles)

Bye!

Too late. No, I'm sorry.

Excuse me!
Carolyn, where's she going?

Oh, it's hopeless!

Have this one on London
Transport, Lady Di.

Thank you very much. (chuckles)

Hello, Christopher.
Lady Diana.

I can't wait to get started
on the garden, but it'd be

foolish to start planting before
all this mess is done with.

It does seem to go on
forever, doesn't it?

Mm, I'm rather looking
forward to seeing it

all come together,
actually, yes.

Makes one feel part
of the whole thing.

(chuckles)

I hate to bother you with this,

but things are a
bit out of control.

Everywhere I go, those
awful reporters are there.

(chuckles) Yes,
well, you have to

put up with it more than I do.

They never leave me alone.

They hound me and chase
me, they yell at me,

they stick cameras in my
face, they make up quotes.

They pry in my rubbish.

I'm sorry.

(chuckles) No, I know, Diana.

Poor Camilla has to go
through the same thing.

She has two or three at a
time camped outside her house.

Well, why would they hound her?

Because they're always
making things up.

Thank you.

Well, I was wondering
whether someone

from the palace
press office could-

No, that's not how
things are done.

You see, they only act on
behalf of the Royal Family.

(Diana sighs)

You won't have to put
up with it much longer.

We shall have a talk,
but it'll have to wait.

Well, it's late.

I shall have Christopher
drive you back to London.

Has he spoken of
marriage to you?

Well, he talks about
it as a friendship.

A partnership.

And what do you think?

I think I can make him love me.

I have reason to
believe he will ask me.

I just hope he does soon
so we can be done with it.

Have you given any thought to
what your life would be like

once you were married?

This wouldn't be just
a marriage, it would
be a job as well.

Charles has told me that.
I think it'll suit me.

It's not a life for everyone.

Perhaps not, but
after I'm married,

Charles will be there to
look after everything.

And you don't mind him
being so much older?

Daddy was older than Mommy,
so is Jane's husband.

Anyway, I think men ought to
be more, you know, experienced.

Don't you?

I thought you
wanted this for me?

I do, but I just want to be sure

that you're up to the job.

You're so young.

I don't think 19's too
young to be married.

I'll try hard and I'll learn.

You must, because the
Royal Family cannot afford

for this marriage not to work.

I can still remember
what it was like

when the Duke abdicated.

It nearly ruined the
House of Windsor.

And we can't afford for
that to happen again.

Well, what is your problem?

The girl's clearly
in love with you.

Well, sometimes people
think they're in love

when they're only infatuated.

The idea of this romance
going on for another year

is intolerable for
everyone concerned!

You are to marry Diana by
the summer or not at all.

One doesn't want to
rush into these things.

Pretty soon, there'll
be nobody suitable left.

With her, at least there
are no ugly surprises.

Well, you must marry, Charles,

so that you can get on
with your real duties.

We think Diana will
make a fine queen.

We're scheduled to have
dinner this evening.

Perhaps I shall say a word then.

(peaceful classical music)

Thank you.

There's a question I should
like to ask you, Diana.

Please, take your time
before answering it.

Yes, Charles?

Will you marry me?

(Diana chuckles)

I'm sorry. (giggles)

Take some time to
think seriously about
what I just asked.

I'm sorry. (chuckles)

You must make sure it's
not going to be too awful.

There's no thinking
to be done, sir.

Yes, I will marry you.

Are you positive?

I have no doubts about it.

It's what I want.

Well, that's good.

(Diana chuckles)

I shall need your
support and comfort.

(sighs) I love you so much.

Yes, whatever love is.

(muffled pop music)
(muffled chatter and laughter)

They're giving me my own
private line, you know.

So for god's sake, ring me up.
I'm going to need all of you.

I'm going to miss you.

Well, I'm not going that far.

Half a mile and 1,000
years of history away.

(Diana chuckles)

(doorbell rings)

Philip!

It's Sergeant Mannakee.

Hello.
Good evening, ma'am.

Sergeant Mannakee,
this is James.

How do you do?
And my friends.

Sorry I'm so early.

I hope you enjoyed your
last night of freedom.

(Diana chuckles)

Shall I get your cases?

Thank you.

Is this all you're taking?
(chuckles) Yeah.

Apparently I'm going to
have a whole new wardrobe.

Lucky you.

Of course, you'll find the
shopping a terrible bore.

(guests laugh)

Well, I'm going.
Don't!

Bye!

Bye.
Bye!

Bye.

Bye, everyone
Bye!

Good luck!
Bye!

Bye!
Bye!

If you intend to leave
the palace, Lady Diana,

you must give advance notice.

Why?

So that a detective can
be assigned to guard you.

Oh.

This is Princess Anne's suite,

and that is Prince
Edward's suite.

Is Prince Charles in the palace?

Yes, his personal assistant
will tell him you've arrived.

Thank you.
Here we are.

I hope you'll be very
happy here, ma'am.

Thank you.

Goodbye.
Night.

"Diana, I'd be delighted if
we could have lunch together.

"I know a lovely Italian
restaurant in Beauchamp Place.

"I'll give you a call
and arrange a time.

"Camilla."

(smooth jazz music)

(knocks)

Yes.

Lady Diana's arrived, sir.
I told her you're occupied.

Well, as I am.

I thought we might brief her

before she meets
the press tomorrow.

Well, there's no need.

I'll do most of the talking,
she can just follow my lead.

Sir.

(cameras snap)

Oh, my god, I'm terrified.
What am I going to say?

Tell them you think
I'm the handsomest,

funniest man in England.
(chuckles) And I do.

When did you know, sir?

Well, it was a gradual thing.

Towards, towards the end of
summer, I began to realize

what was in my mind
and hers in particular.

Could you speak up, sir?

All these things help.

I had a long time
to think about it.

I knew the pressure was
on both of us and, well,

it wasn't a difficult
decision to make.

It was what I wanted.

What I want. (chuckles)

Do you think it will be
a difficult adjustment

for a girl of 19?

With Prince Charles beside
me, I can't go wrong.

Well, I'm just
delighted and happy.

I can't believe she's
brave enough to take me on.

(paparazzi laugh)

Will you live at Highgrove?

If Charles lives
there then so will I.

Such a lovely house.

Wonderful home for Charles.

He does seem to enjoy it.

And of course, Gloucestershire

has all the country pursuits.

Hunting, fishing, shooting.

Odd chucker of polo.

A bit too rural for me.

Surely Diana that's one
of its greatest charms.

I love the city.

Do you hunt?

I'm afraid of horses.

I fell off when I was
little and broke my arm.

Oh, well you'll have to get
straight back on the saddle.

It's all you can do.
Face fear head-on.

Perhaps.

Don't suppose I care that much.

Charles loves to ride.

One of his greatest passions.

We ride together all the time.

Well, he'll just have to keep
on riding with you, then.

Must be difficult for you,

with him going away
to Australia so soon.

Australia?

Surely you knew?

Oh, nevermind, Diana,
you'll get used to it.

With him being away.

After all, it's
hardly going to be

a conventional marriage, is it?

(knocks)

I need to see him.

This isn't a good time.

Why didn't you tell me you
were going to Australia?

Well, it's only for five weeks.

Five weeks?

How are we supposed to
get to know each other

if you're always going away?

There's still three
months till the wedding.

Besides, this tour was scheduled
long before the engagement.

So you see, it's
quite of the question

for His Royal
Highness to cancel.

You will have to excuse us.

(dark orchestral music)

(Diana giggles)

Oh, my god.

(chuckles)

I won't fit into my clothes.

(chuckles) I must be mad.

(retches)

It is the custom to set the
timetable well in advance.

I never know what
I'm going to be doing

from one minute to the next.

Well, that is why I am here,
Lady Diana, and Christopher,

and the rest of
the palace staff.

But shouldn't
Charles be consulted?

We are perfectly well acquainted

with his wishes.

There's a lot to be done
during the next few months

to get you ready
for the wedding.

Everything has to be perfect.

Hello.
Hello, darling.

Settling in?
Yes, thank you.

Charles, when am I
going to see you again?

I have working lunch,
hospital visits

and dinner with the Lord Mayor.

I shall see you sometime
after dinner then.

But Charles, I-

Alfred and Christopher
will look after you.

But it's you that I-
They have my full trust.

Don't know how I'd live
my life without them.

A little less enthusiasm, Diana.

You'll be doing this for
long periods of time,

and you don't want to put too
much strain on your elbow.

Like this?

(giggles)

That's better.

No, I'm afraid you mustn't
open these, Lady Diana.

But they're for us, aren't they?

Yes, of course they are, but
we will see that they are

opened carefully and the gift
and card are placed together

and noted in the log.

The staff will prepare thank
you notes for your signature

which, by the way,
we must work on.

I think I need a
breath of fresh air.

(tense orchestral music)

I can manage quite
well, thank you.

I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't
go out on your own I'm afraid.

I'm part of your life now.

Well, in that case,
Sergeant Mannakee,

fasten your seatbelt 'cause
you're in for a bumpy ride.

(camera snaps)

(camera snaps)

(muffled pop music)

Good afternoon,
Diana, how are you?

Very well, thank you, ma'am.
What did you do today?

I had a fitting and
I did some reading,

and I perfected my wave.

Oh! Show me, my dear.

Very good!

Excuse me, ma'am.

Excuse me.

I've been told that
I'm not allowed

to have my friends
as bridesmaids and-

I'm glad you see
the logic, dear.

I trust you're not
nervous about tonight?

Just a little.

I don't like being on display.

Well, the first
time out in public's

always a bit harrowing.

Anyway, I've always wanted
to meet Princess Grace.

She's a nice woman,
for an American.

(spectators cheer)

Lady Diana, could we have a look

at the lovely dress, please?

I say, who designed
your evening gown?

Wait, just one more please!

(lively classical music)

(hushed chatter)

Good evening, Lady Diana.

I'm delighted to meet
you, Princess Grace.

I adore your dress.

It's a terrible mistake.

You look lovely.

Don't pay any attention to them.

Plus, they hound
me and spy on me.

I can't stand it,
what am I going to do?

Don't worry, Diana,
it can only get worse.

I'm so afraid of what's to come.

Don't be, you'll have
a wonderful life.

I hope you're right. (chuckles)

The day I set sail for
Europe to marry my prince,

I was as happy and as
miserable as I could ever be.

We set sail in terrible fog.

I stood at the railings and
looked out and thought to myself

"I'm sailing into the unknown."

I had no idea what
life was gonna be like.

What would be there
when the fog lifted?

But things turned out fine.

Thank you, Grace.

I admire you so much.

Everything you do comes
off without a hitch.

(chuckles) In 20 minutes
time, I have to stand up

in front of a room
full of strangers and
read my own poetry.

I am scared stiff.

But I've learned to hide it.

Never let them see you suffer.

"It's the greatest moment
of sexual theater since

"Cinderella stepped out of
clogs into glass slippers."

We really can't have this
sort of thing happen.

I think that looks
stunning on a girl my age.

(phone rings)

(phone rings)

It's your private line.

Yes.

Quite.

(phone rings)

(phone rings)

Hello.

I'll join you downstairs.

Don't be too long.

Pleased you called, Gladys.

(chuckles) Yes.

No, no, you're not
interrupting, no.

Just picking up a few things.

(laughs)

No, you know I've
always got time for you.

(laughs)

(door slams)

Morning.

Special delivery, sir.
Thank you.

Oh.
I'll take that.

It's addressed to
His Royal Highness.

I want to. I want to
see what's inside.

We've had so many nice things.

You won't tell
Charles, will you?

"F.G."

F.G.?

It's Fred and Gladys.

I want to know why you're
giving this bracelet to Camilla.

Hm?

Because she's my friend.

Then why are you
hiding it, Fred?

It comes in my
office, I believe.

I thought it was our mail?

No, it has nothing
to do with you.

(case closes)

You're still in love
with her, aren't you?

(chuckles) It's just a
trinket for a friend.

Oh, I see, it's your money
and it's your special friend

and what difference
does it make how I feel?

I think you have a slight
case of the jitters, Diana.

I know I'm somewhat
dreading the wedding.

But we shall get through it.

We won't get through anything

if you give Camilla
this bracelet.

(jubilant classical music)

You'll have to walk a
little faster, Lady Diana.

You don't want to get stuck
in the middle of the aisle

when the music stops.

So many people I want to invite.

But there are so many
people who must be invited.

Foreign heads of state,
members of parliament.

It was my personal friends
I was thinking of, actually.

All right.

You've arrived, the music ends

and Prince Charles takes
you from your father.

There's also the question
of the wedding breakfast.

The Prince has suggested
several additional guests.

Deltran, Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Not a chance!

But that will be seen-
Exactly what I want.

I shall have to speak
to His Royal Highness.

The Prince will do what I want.

(upbeat pop music)

(lively chatter and laughter)

It says here they
have live music.

(laughs)

Suppose I ought to be
jealous or something.

After all, you've won my prince.

And you're welcome to him.

Sarah, can't you be
civil for one night?

You know, ever since you
married into the firm, Jane,

you've become such a prig.

How come he's not
dancing with you, Dutch?

Perhaps he's forgotten
I'm here, much less why.

You chose well, Charles.

Yes, well I hope
you're right, Granny.

Of course I'm right.

What an odd thing to say.

My dear, you look
simply enchanting.

Thank you, ma'am.

(upbeat pop music)

You gave it to her?

Yes, at lunch today.

Charles?

What is the problem?

Apart from the tears
and the tantrum.

You must get her through
this, she cannot fail.

Well, Alfred is seeing to her.

I shall want a word with you
later, Charles, in private.

The worst of it is he didn't
even bother to deny it.

Or apologize.

He just said that she
was a friend of his

and he intended to
give her the bracelet.

Well, he has known
her for years.

I want to call it off.

Bad luck, Dutch, your
face is on the tea towels,

so it's too late
to chicken out now.

Sarah!

You do look awful. How
much weight have you lost?

Let me talk to her.

You wait outside.

You can't back out now, Diana.

Too many people are
counting on you.

It'll be better after the stress
and strain of the wedding.

You'll be his wife,
the Princess of Wales.

(sighs) What if he
doesn't love me?

Di, of course he loves you.

He just doesn't know how
to show it, that's all.

What's our life
going to be like?

His duty's always
pulling him away.

(chuckles) Even when he's
just down the corridor,

he's too busy to see me.

Remember, this is what
you've always wanted.

What you've planned for.

(Diana chuckles)

Then why do I feel like
a lamb to the slaughter?

You are to stay away from
Diana until the wedding.

It's too much for her
and you're not helping.

That's fine.

Perhaps we have made a mistake.

I still think we should
postpone the wedding.

(scoffs) It's too late!

The crowd's already
lining The Mall.

The wedding must
proceed on schedule.

If you don't marry her,

the vultures will
tear you to pieces.

I'm not sure either
of you are up to this.

And despite the current
gray cloudy skies above

the forecast is for a
beautiful, glorious day.

The crowd, estimated at
about one million people

from all over the country
and indeed from all corners

of the commonwealth, have
spent as many as three days

and nights camped out along
the two-mile route from

Buckingham Palace down The
Mall to St. Paul's Cathedral.

This is the route along which
the traditional glass coach

first used by King George V-

Everyone in the
world is watching it.

How are you feeling?

I'm just taking it as it comes.

Well, this is it.

Come on, let's
have a look at it.

And they will pass the
cheering loyal crowds

who have traveled here for
the wedding of the century.

(chuckles) It's beautiful.

Provided by the Prince
of Wales Company

First Battalion-
Thank you very much.

Been up since around four a.m.

preparing for this
joyous occasion.

A truly great honor to be here.

Understandably, a great deal
of anticipation is in the air,

but nevertheless-

They're all here for me, Jane.

Oh, god.

What if I can't do it?

Come on, Dutch,
everyone's waiting.

In the State Postillion Landau

built in 1902 for
the Edward VII-

All I want is to marry Charles.

I can't face all this.

Four divisions of the
Sovereign's Escort

of the Household Calvary.

Look at everyone.

I can't go through with it.

Yes, you can. You must.

You've got to pull it together.

(bells chime)

How are you holding up?

I'm fine.

Nothing is going to keep me
from performing this duty.

I can't imagine
anything I'd rather do.

I couldn't be prouder of you.

Thank you, Daddy.

(chuckles)

(bells chime)

(jubilant classical music)

Are you sure you're
all right, Daddy?

I couldn't be better, darling.

Good. In that case, I
suppose I'm ready. (chuckles)

(spectators cheer)

Kiss the bride! Kiss the bride!

They're trying to
get us to kiss.

I tried to ask you.

Well, how about it?

Why not? (chuckles)

(spectators cheer)

(fire crackles)

I thought you looked
wonderful today. Wonderful.

Wonderful for you.

(chuckles)

I don't mean to sound awful
but I'm very glad it's over.

(chuckles) Well, I
thought it went well.

At least I didn't fall over
in front of all those people.

Sorry I got your names
wrong, Philip Charles.

Some think you've just
married my father.

I was the one who got it
wrong when I offered you share

all thy worldly goods
instead of my own.

(warm orchestral music)

Everything I have
is yours, Charles.

Thank you.

(both chuckle)

Won't always be
like this, won't it?

Darling, of course it will.

You were away so much
when we were engaged.

Now that we're married,

I hope we can spend
more time together.

Well yes, well that's why I
brought along a few books.

I thought once you'd had
the chance to read them,

we must discuss them.
(Diana giggles)

"True love is the gift
which God has given

"to man alone
beneath the heavens.

"It is not fantasy's hot fire,

"whose wishes, soon
as granted, fly.

"It liveth not in fierce desire.

"With dead desire,
it doth not die.

"It is the secret sympathy.

"The silver link,
the silken tie,

"which, heart to heart,
and minds to mind,

"in body and in soul can bind."

(Diana chuckles)

Is something wrong?

What could be wrong?

I so enjoy talking to
you and you know so much

about so many things and in
fact I thought you might like

to tell me where you got
these cuff links from.

They're new, aren't they?

I don't remember
seeing them before.

Yes, they were a gift.

Really?

(chuckles) Too Cs intertwined.

Yes.

And don't you think
that's a little odd?

But I didn't order them.

No, you didn't.

Camilla did.

And you thought you'd bring
them on our honeymoon.

Diana.

You pig!

(Charles sighs)

(door slams)

(dark orchestral music)

Morning, Robert.
Good morning, Your Highness.

I missed breakfast.

He's still asleep upstairs.

Have you got anymore of that
cake you had last night?

Yes, ma'am.

(toilet flushes)

(boat horn blows)

We're over at
Balmoral until the 7th

and then we're
scheduled for Wales.

I'm really nervous, you know.

Nonsense, just follow
my lead and smile a lot

and pretend you're
having a splendid time.

That's really good
advice, Charles.

(sighs)

What kind of a man
takes a photograph

of another woman
on his honeymoon?

Can't you be without her
for more than two weeks?

She is a friend.

Is that all?

I have few friends,
Diana, but very good ones.

I don't make friends
easily, you know that.

Do I?

Right now I don't know anything,
except that I'm fed up!

I don't particularly
care for the screaming.

And I don't particularly care

for coming second
in your affections!

That's silly, Diana.
Oh, is it?

Then I'm just that silly little
schoolgirl that you married

who doesn't need to
be taken seriously.

Well, I refuse to be ignored!

(sobs)

(cameras snap)

How was the honeymoon?

Fabulous.

How are you enjoying
married life?

I'd highly recommend
it, it's wonderful.

Have you cooked
him breakfast yet?

I don't eat breakfast.
(photographers laugh)

Thank you.
For you, ma'am.

I suppose one of you put them
on his expenses. (giggles)

No, ma'am, we all did.

(group laughs)

Thank you.
Thank you, sir.

Well, Fred, now you can
run off and phone Gladys.

(bagpipe music)

Diana?
Yes, ma'am.

Did you do anything today?

There's really nothing
for me to do here.

I understand you'll
be going to Wales.

Yes, ma'am.

You'll like it in Wales.

I'm going to make a speech.

I just hope I don't
let everybody down.

I'm sure Charles won't
allow that to happen.

Ow. (chuckles)

Think he's mistaken me for
a chicken leg. (giggles)

I don't know how she'll
cope with a state banquet

if she can't get
through a family dinner.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

She just toys with her food.

She must learn to maintain
her composure in public.

It's obviously very
difficult at first.

One just has to take a plunge.

Are things satisfactory
between the two of you?

Absolutely.

Make sure that they are.

Well, she's pregnant.

I know.

(chuckles) Charles,
I'm delighted for you.

For both of you.

(Charles chuckles)

Yes, good for you, Charles.

(guns fire)

Enjoying yourself?

I love animals, Charles.
I can't bear all this.

Just because you kill
animals it doesn't mean

to say you don't
appreciate them fully.

(gun fires)

We're supposed to be on holiday.

And all you want to do is
shoot or talk to Mommy.

I enjoy your company, Diana,

when you're not yelling at me.

(gun fires)

Didn't you once tell me this
was the best place on earth?

(gun fires)

(guns fire)

Good afternoon, I'm Diana.

Your Royal Highness.

Oh, sit down. Please.

Dreadful weather.

Do you always get eight
days of rain in a row?

No, ma'am.

Have a sandwich.

Thank you, ma'am.

Your Royal Highness,
may I speak to you?

Yep.
Over here, ma'am.

Up there is your side
of the house, ma'am.

Down here is my side
of the house, ma'am.

(spectators cheer)

(cameras snap)

Oh, she's as thin as a knife.

The joys of married life.

Diana!
Prince Charles!

Are you having a nice time?
These are for you.

They're lovely, thank you.

Thank you.

Can I get you a coat or
at least some gloves?

No, if they can stand
the cold, so can I.

(spectators chant
"we want Diana!")

Oh, are these for me?
Flowers (chuckles)

But where is Diana?

Diana?

Yes, where's Diana?

Well, I'm sorry, I don't have
enough wives to go round.

Thank you, thank you.

We love you, Diana!
Thank you very much.

They're beautiful, thank you.

(spectators chant
"we want Diana!")

The trouble with
being a princess

is you can never
find a place to pee.

Charles, I'm terrified.

There's nothing to worry about.

I realize that this
is a very great honor

and I'm most grateful.

I would like to try to express

my thanks to you in Welsh also.

(speaks Welsh)

(applause)

I do hope that bore
some resemblance to
what I meant to say

which is basically that it is
a very great pleasure for me

to come to Wales and
its capital Cardiff.

I look forward to returning
here many times in the future.

Also I'd just like to add
how proud I am to be princess

of such a beautiful place

and to the Welsh people
who are very special to me.

(speaks Welsh)

(applause)

How did I do?

You spoke far too fast, you'll
have to learn to do better.

(melancholy orchestral music)

(door closes)

Feeling better?
Nope.

Do you have any
idea what it's like

to be constantly criticized?

Well, they love you.

(chuckles) It's not
them I'm worried about.

I never get a single
kind word from you.

Not one word of praise.

Well, these are
things to be earned.

I'm trying so hard.

All I need is a pat on the
back every now and again.

Yes.

Doing well is what's expected.

Then why don't you help me?

You have help.

If you need anything, ask
Alfred or Christopher.

I thought after we were married
things would be different.

Well, they are. You're
the Princess of Wales.

(chuckles)

See, Royal duty is a wider
and a more permanent duty.

Things you have to do you
don't particularly want to.

And what about what I want?

You're not quite the girl
of my engagement, Diana.

And nor are you my prince, sir.

(Charles sighs)

Yes, yes, quite.

(chuckles) Oh, well
enough, I suppose.

I know, she's young, but
I'm nothing if not patient.

Well, I only think so.

Yes, well maybe
I'll give it a try.

(chuckles)

Whatever happens, I
will always love you.

I have to go now. Yes, now.

Yes, now might be a
really good idea, Charles.

How long is this going to go on?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

"No matter what happens,
I will always love you."

And so I will. She and
I are best friends.

But I thought I was supposed
to be your best friend?

No, you are supposed
to be my wife.

What do you mean?

Well, this was all made clear
before we married, Diana.

I have explained
it in some detail.

I don't know why you're
struggling with it now.

I hate it when you walk
away from me like that!

All I hear about is
your unhappiness.

That's because you're
making my life miserable!

There's no need to be miserable.

No need?

When I hear my husband telling

another woman that he loves her.

You're supposed to love me!

Then stop acting
like a spoiled brat.

(chuckles) You
refuse to cooperate.

You can't just do what you want.

You have to live up
to your obligations.

We're never alone, I only see
you at dinner or before bed.

What about our life together?

I need you to look after me.

I need you to hold me,
I need you to touch me.

You're always being sick.

But I feel so abandoned!

Well, get used to it, Diana.

There's nothing to be done.

(somber orchestral music)

(Diana sobs)

Yours, Charles.
Thank you.

It was rotten like the fox
winter ground in Balaam Wood.

Oh, nevermind, Charles.

The hunt board said it
was a great success.

I hear some of the boys

let some piglets
loose in the room.

The ladies were
not at all pleased.

Friends of yours, perhaps?

The piglets or the
ladies? (chuckles)

That Harry Andrews
overtook the master.

He was riding in his pocket.

Damn fool, horse
kicked one hound.

Score one for the fox.

Pity to lose a good hound.
Yes.

It was Johnny Parker's
favorite bitch.

Carried her in his
arms, cried like a baby.

Her blood ruined
his best jacket.

Excuse me.

Since your wife is pregnant,

shouldn't you, uh, see
if she's all right?

She'll be fine.

Were it not for my ability to
see the funny side of life,

I should've been committed
to an institution long ago.

Count yourself lucky, Charles.

Wait till you get the kids.

(indistinct chatter)

(tense orchestral music)

There you go again!

Leaving me all alone.

Well go, if you must!

Go and have lunch with
your precious friends!

(tires screech)

Why do you do this to me?

Why can't we just have
lunch together for a change?

What do you expect me to do
all day long, die of boredom?

You call yourself a husband.

Well, some husband you are!

(engine roars)

Why can't you stay with
me? I don't feel well.

They won't start
the hunt without me.

I can't stand it anymore!

I swear I'm gonna do
something drastic.

Why don't you just come along?

Because standing
around in the mud

watching you kill
innocent animals for sport

is not my idea of
spending time together!

What about me?

What about you, hm?

All I had to do was to
marry, produce an heir,

and wait my turn to be king.

But I'm your wife!

Yes, suddenly I'm reminded.

Charles!

Diana, the baby!

Nothing like this has
ever happened before.

What are people to be told?

Well, the truth, of course.

That Diana slipped
and took a tumble.

I'll see to it that the papers

get the correct story, ma'am.

And we'll make it
absolutely clear

that there was no harm
done to the unborn child,

or to Her Royal Highness.

We must make sure that there are

no additional burdens on her.

Keep her from the strains

of public appearances
and interviews.

No press.

We want the Christening
to be a modest affair.

Just family.

We want the photographs to show
a radiant mother and child.

Ma'am.

(bright orchestral music)

And look this way, please.

Thank you.

(Charles chuckles)

"Perhaps the most important
fact that parents remember

is that what works for one child
might not work for another.

Effective parenting is really
a matter of trial and error.

You must learn to
trust your instincts."

(chuckles) You're
such a doting father.

I never thought I'd
gladly be spending

more time changing
nappies than playing polo.

So exhausting.

(chuckles)

We still have a good
time together, Di.

When we can get
five minutes alone.

I get enormous pleasure
from being a father.

You're away so much.

Yes I wish I could spend a
little more time with you both.

It's just me and the
in-laws, isn't it?

He's tired, why don't
you put him to bed?

All right, sweetheart.

(chuckles)

(rain splashes)
(thunder rumbles)

How do you stand it?

Stand what, ma'am?

Scotland.

Them.

But, um, you're one of them now.

I keep wondering what
I've got myself into.

You'll get used to it.
Do you think so?

My grandmother always
says that they've raised

doing nothing to a
fine art. (chuckles)

Well, you've got
your own wheels.

And me.

(sighs) Well, that makes
all the difference.

(chuckles)

Excuse me, ma'am.

(door closes)

The Prince has, as is his
custom, set the basic schedule.

We must get you out, ma'am.
People want to see you.

The time has come
for you to take on

your share of the agenda.

There'll be your appearance

at the ice show
at Wembley Arena.

You really must memorize
who's going to be there

and the purpose of the event.

Don't worry so much,
Christopher, I'll manage.

With a smile, perhaps,

but you'll be expected to
say a few words as well.

This is what is expected
of the Princess of Wales.

Well, thank you, Charles.

I was beginning to wonder
what a princess is for,

other than looking at.

In March, you will open

the new council-ordered
Brighton Hospital.

In April is your
tour of Australia.

Deborah, could you
arrange whatever we need

to take Wills along?

The heir to the throne, ma'am,

is left at home for
obvious reasons.

Well, I will not abandon
my son for six whole weeks.

Yes, well I'm sure some
kind of understanding

will be reached on this.

Yes, Charles and I will
speak to the Queen.

I wanted to talk to you
about your situation.

Things are being said.

That you're too thin, that
you're not eating enough.

I hate those Royal dinners.
That you're wilful.

I get my way on so few things.

Yeah, right.

Quite to date you've managed
to get six of his staff fired.

He's married to them, not me.

They're so patronizing,
they drive me mad.

I'm married to one of them.

Yes, I know, but we like Robert.

Anyway, who put you up to this?

No one, really.

Why can't they just
talk to me directly?

Look, you made a bargain when
you married Prince Charles.

Oh, he was easy to
fall in love with.

Diana, listen, when you
married into the firm,

you became the
Princess of Wales,

therefore you make the
public appearances,

you smile, you wave,
eat the dinners,

and god knows you need
them, and smile again.

And what about what I want?
(sighs) That comes second.

I don't see how that's fair.

It's not supposed to be fair.

Then there's the matter of
taking William to Australia.

It is, of course, quite
out of the question.

Jane.

Make them understand.

I will not go without my son.

(spectators cheer)
(jubilant music)

We want Diana.

Well, it's not fair, is
it? You got stuck with me.

If I was you, I'd ask
for your money back.

Make sure she gets these.

Yes, I'm becoming
quite good at that.

Thank you, thank you.

Well, we certainly picked
the wrong side of the street.

Princess Diana!

Princess Diana!
It's all right.

It's all right.

I so much wanted to see you.

I know.

I know what it's like to
really want something.

But you have everything.
(Diana chuckles)

Here you are.
Thank you.

Glad to be of use.
(Diana chuckles)

How much more of this
have we got to do?

Not much longer
now, keep smiling.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, ma'am.
Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Diana, I don't know
why you're so unhappy.

People love you.

So people keep telling me.

But then people tell
me a lot of things.

Like when to do this
or where to do that.

But little Wills is here.

I know, but I don't get to
see him for days at a time.

I feel like I'm part
of a circus act.

Well, you should
be pleased, Diana.

No one has ever received
this kind of adulation.

(Diana chuckles)

It's not theirs that
I want, Charles.

Darling, I have paid you
quite a lot of attention.

(William cries)

Nothing like a good scream
in the middle of the night.

I am sorry, this takes a
lot of getting used to.

(Diana chuckles)

Good evening, Christopher.

Earl Spencer.

Diana and I had planned
to see each other today.

She told me to expect you,

but once again she's
running behind schedule.

She's still closeted with
her private secretary,

after which she has
a press interview.

The next time this happens,

please have the
courtesy to inform me.

Precisely. We can reroute
him through Oxford.

He'll spend the night,

then he'll be there in the
morning for the opening.

You will not reroute
him anywhere!

I'm sorry, ma'am?

You are keeping the
Prince far too busy.

I need Charles to spend
more time with me.

Well, of course, that
is important, ma'am.

However, there is the
small matter of duty.

You will kindly remove all
trips from the schedule

which require meetings
at dinner or breakfast.

I cannot allow him
to be away overnight.

But Your Highness,

you really are making
my life very difficult.

Well, in that case, Christopher,

may I suggest that you look
for employment elsewhere?

She really has no idea

what it means to be
the Princess of Wales.

Don't count on that.

If it were up to
me, Christopher,

I would not do this.
I know that, sir.

We've been together a long time.

But she must see that
I'm making some effort

to accommodate her wishes
and let her have her way.

At least for a while.

Perhaps that will
do some good, sir.

I shall see that you
get a good position.

I don't anticipate
a problem, sir.

It is really for the best, I
have found myself increasingly

frustrated, or prevented, so
to speak, from doing my job.

The Princess has
decided to decide

what is best for the Princess.

Yes, yes. Quite.

(riders yell)
(dogs bark)

(horns blow)

It's very nice of you to stay
at home with me, Charles.

I know you'd rather
be out hunting.

Nonsense.

(suspenseful music)

It's Camilla.

Charles, I thought she'd gone.

Well, I won't be a minute.

Rose!

Hello, darling.

We've missed you.
Well, I've missed you too.

Had a bit of handholding to do.

(chuckles) Do you
good to get out.

Charles? Charles!
(Charles chuckles)

Charles!

Damn you.

Right, well I'm for it now.
(Camilla chuckles)

I'll see you soon, yes?
Bye bye.

I don't know why they
call it morning sickness.

I feel ill all the time.

Yes, Diana.

How dare you keep me waiting!

Well, you might have come over.

Did she come over?
No, she just waved.

Anyway, I thought you'd
stopped seeing her.

I don't intend to give
her up altogether,

so you might as
well get used to it.

I'm not going to get used
to anything, Charles.

(glass shatters)

Bloody hell, Diana!

The Princess has had
another accident.

She was a bit shaken
up, but she's fine.

What did you do this time?

Camilla was hunting
near Highgrove.

I went out and had a word.

You really must be
more thoughtful.

You must take the time to
be a father and a husband.

Let William the new baby
have the family life

that my duty's prevented
me from giving you.

I don't understand, Mother.

I have decided there will
be no changes at this time.

But Mommy, that's not fair.

I have done everything
that was expected of me.

I have married, I
have produced an heir.

Be reasonable, Charles, it was
time for you to be married.

Diana has been acting strangely.

You can't blame me for
her irrationalities.

You must see to it
that she settles

into her role as your wife.

What about my role as King?

There will be time for that.

I was promised that-

You were promised nothing!

I think this is for the best.

(brooding orchestral music)

(warm orchestral music)

Hello, Charles.

Hello, darling.

Came through it fine, hm?

Both of us.

Another boy. Gosh, he
even has rusty hair.

Are you really so
disappointed he's another boy?

Well, I was rather really
hoping for one of each,

but we can try for
a girl next time.

(chuckles) I don't think the
world's ready for another me.

I think we should discuss

the implications of
that, Your Highness.

Surely it's just a
dressing up or something?

But that is just the point.

When she cuts her hair short,

it is more than a
fashion statement.

What smells worse
than an anchovy?

I don't know.

An anchovy's bottom.
(Diana laughs)

She gives up her femininity

to assume an androgynous
pansexuality.

What are the straps
in a Rolls Royce for?

To rest your ankles
in. (giggles)

I can't believe you said that.

Oh, god, if you two have
lost your sense of humor,

I shall leave you to your talk
of pandrogynous sexuality.

I'm so glad you're here, Fergie.

Charles' polo chums
are so boring.

Thank god for Gilbey.

The Queen's asked me to
find two suitable friends

for the Ascot week.

I think she thinks
I'm going to be bored.

Do you want to come?
Don't know that I'd fit in.

Prince Andrew's
going to be there.

Now that sounds like fun.

Oh, please, please come.

You'll be the only other person
my age. Everyone's so old.

Charles will there.

Charles is the
oldest of them all.

(both laugh)

(dark orchestral music)

(vomits and coughs)

(Charles sighs)

Well, nothing's really
working out as we had hoped.

Diana won't fit into the family

or settle into a job as my wife.

Give her time, Charles.

She sulks and throws tantrums.

Be reasonable,
you snapped her up

before she had time
to enjoy being a girl.

She's finding out who she is

and what it means to
be Princess of Wales.

Well, it's been three years,

and she knew what
was expected of her.

Did she? I wonder.

Anyway, I expect she's
missing her old friends.

Well, they don't fit in either.

I find them moronic.

I expect she finds yours boring.

Well, they're no
different than I.

Quite. My point exactly.

Come on!

(jazzy piano music)
(hushed chatter)

(laughs) You're joking!
Yes.

Good stock, that one.

Free from all the airs
and graces we can't stand.

I hear she rides quite well.

(both laugh)

I'd like to see you
ride again, Diana.

I've praying to
God for the courage

to get back in the saddle again.

I realized how important
it is to Charles.

To us.

I'll arrange for you
to have some lessons.

Do you good to get out.

I feel so sorry for Diana,
she looks so unhappy.

Well, I'm grateful to her.

With Wills and Harry,

there's no chance I'll
ever have to be King.

So I can enjoy my life.

I just hope she finds
a way to enjoy hers.

(orchestra warms up)

Diana, where are you going?

I've a lovely surprise
for you, Charles.

She's just full of
surprises, Charles.

Isn't she?

(upbeat music)

Oh, my word!
(audience applauds)

(audience laughs and applauds)

(audience applauds)

I don't know what gets into you.

They loved me, I was a hit.

The Princess of Wales
is not a showgirl.

Oh, I thought you wanted me

to make more public appearances?

That is not what we meant.
It was damned undignified.

There's so much that
I want to express

and every time I try,

you just yell at me and tell
me I'm disappointing you!

You're being tiresome, Diana.

Oh, yes, look at this one.

Oh, wonderful!

Hello.

Oh, it's too small.

I may have a big head but
there's not much in it. (laughs)

I think you look smashing.

Well, I want to choose
what I want to wear.

I don't want to have my
clothes chosen for the job

by some professional bachelor.

That's rather a lot.

When did that ever stop us?

I'm damned if I spend too much
and damned if I don't look

as though I stepped off the
pages of a fashion magazine.

What do you think?

Well, you might be able
to get away with it.

(Diana chuckles)

That bad?

Terrible.

(hooves clack)

Come on, I'll race you.

(sighs)

Very good, ma'am, very good.

Good fun.
Brilliant.

Such a good horse, good boy.
Well done, come on.

(Diana chuckles)
Come on.

Thank you, Captain Hewitt.

I'm not quite sure
what must be done.

It's really rather alarming.

One of these wretched men called
you a fiend and a monster.

Well, they're scum, but
we can't ignore them.

But I haven't done
anything, I haven't changed.

(scoffs) Well, it says here

you're spending over 4,000
pounds a week on clothes

and that you're suffering
from anorexia and here it says

that you're bossy and that
young Wills is running wild.

They are also suggesting
that there is some, uh,

unhappiness between yourself
and His Royal Highness.

You really must try and
put your marriage in order.

We must dispel the rumor

that there's a rift
between you and Diana.

The worst part is, all this
obsession about our situation

is deflecting attention
from the serious issues.

Instead of public housing
or something worthwhile,

they're talking
about her hemline.

We felt that they should
present a united front, ma'am.

So I took the
liberty of initiating

a joint television interview.

Are you sure that this
is the right thing to do?

I'm afraid it's become an
unfortunate necessity, ma'am.

Do I really have to?

It is rather unprecedented,

airing one's dirty
linen in public.

The Prince and Princess
must make a case

for their marital
happiness, ma'am.

All this is a damn nuisance.

Okay, nice and quiet,
everyone. Recording this time.

Sir, ma'am. Stand by, Paul.

Here we go in five seconds.

Your Royal Highness.

You have to attend
so many functions.

How careful are
you with your diet?

Well, I'm never on what's
called a diet, but at state

dinners it's very hard to
talk and eat at the same time.

Perhaps I'm so thin because
of all the exercise I take.

You're also renowned
for your fashion sense.

Do you consult each
other on what to wear?

She says to me "which
one shall I wear?"

And I say "well, why
don't you wear that one?"

And I go in the
other one. (giggles)

Then why'd you ask me?

Oh, I don't know.

But there are one or two
things about Charles' image

that I've changed, the odd tie.

Yes, shoes.

Shoes, but nothing dramatic.

What do you consider to be

the balance of
your relationship?

Well, I don't think I
am a domineering wife,

but I am a perfectionist
with myself.

Yes, I suspect that
most husbands and wives

find they often have arguments.

But we don't.

Well, occasionally we do.

No, we don't.

(both chuckle)

I see, thank you.

(muffled chatter and laughter)

Let's walk.

I've got some news,
Your Highness.

There's to be a new
man to guard you.

But I thought we were friends.

Have I done something wrong?

I've been transferred.

It seems, uh, I've
become too familiar.

But I count on you,
you're so understanding.

I'll have them transfer
you right back.

You can't, it's done.

What am I going
to do without you?

You'll be fine.

Will I?

(wind blows)

(cameras snap)

Good morning!

Good morning, sir.
Good morning, ma'am.

Morning.
Morning.

Could we have you
just standing there?

Look this way,
please! Thank you.

Thank you, just like
that. Thank you.

Let's show them
what they look like.

(laughter)

Make sure you get
that, all right?

Come on, don't do that.

Can't you control your wife?

(women laugh)

One more!

If you want to behave
like a spoiled schoolgirl,

at least wait until the
photographers leave at least.

Yeah, what you do in
public is fair game.

No one in his right mind

could excuse this
kind of behavior.

Oh, I suppose you
must be mad, then.

You are a fool, but I love you.

Hold it, just like that. Lovely!

(upbeat pop music)
(lively chatter and laughter)

Philip, I haven't
seen you for ages!

That's because I have
to work for a living.

We work for ours.

The Queen Mom always says-

Your work is the rent you pay

for the room you
occupy on Earth!

I envy you going off to sea.

Don't you find that
leaving the wife behind

adds a bit of spice
to the homecoming?

We haven't shared a
bedroom in months!

At least you can sleep at night.

Sarah doesn't let me
get a lot of rest.

Who's that?

Philip Dunne.
What?

Philip Dunne. A childhood
friend of Sarah's.

Does something with money.

Hello.

Look, it's time we went.

You're so boring and stuffy
and old before your time.

No, I'm tired, Diana.

Well, go to bed by yourself.
You always do anyway.

You handled that well.

I'd do anything
for a quiet life.

Andy!

Oh, no. Wills.

Right.
I just got it.

Hello, you two fiends.

Hello, darlings.
(John chuckles)

Come along, children.
Thank you, nanny.

(groans)

(chuckles)

Sometimes I worry I will
never see you again.

Except maybe on the television.

You're as famous as the Pope.

Now how can you think that?

You're the most
important man in my life.

There are times I
come to see you, dear,

when I am turned away.

I can't believe you
had him sent away.

But I was told he couldn't wait.

You can't allow them to tell you

when to see your own father.

You have no idea how
much pain you caused him.

All he wanted to do was see you.

You know how proud
I am of you, Diana.

I'm glad someone is.

Being a princess isn't all it's
cracked up to be, you know.

I don't know where
my public image stops

and my private life
starts anymore.

(chuckles) That's
all right, dear.

Just as long as you
keep producing children.

(smooth pop music)

I wouldn't mind a dance.

Not just now, Diana.

It makes my heart sink to make

an awful exhibition of ourself.

Why don't you just go and
play with the Rottweiler?

Come on, for goodness
sake, let's dance.

So, she makes herself
sick all the time.

She gets so damn moody she's
impossible to deal with.

She wants things from me
that I don't have to give.

She has done what
is expected of her.

Giving you two fine sons.

You had plenty of time
to sew your wild oats.

Well, how long am I
supposed to be patient?

As long as it takes
for her to grow up.

And for you to become king.

(Charles chuckles)

Why can't you just
leave my husband alone?

(chuckles)

(engine revs)

Weeding the garden was how I
was punished when I was little.

Well, I enjoy doing
the work myself.

Taking your jacket off and
working with your hands.

Getting in touch with the soil.

It's when I take a
good look at myself.

What do you see, Charles?

(sighs)

I thought we might take the
children back to London.

Grouse season opens today.

Pity the poor birds.

It's what we do, Diana.

Well, it's not what I do.

I'm going back.

Well, that's your choice.

What're you doing?

Where are you taking
all these things?

Prince Charles has asked
that his personal effects

be transported to
Highgrove, ma'am.

Is Daddy leaving?

No. No, he's not.

(sighs)

(cameras snap)
(paparazzi chatter)

One more. Look this
way, ma'am, please.

Lady Di!
Over here!

Royal Highness, have
anything to say?

Will!

Hello, Will!

Prince Charles, Prince Charles!

(cameras snap)

Sir? Sir, look this way.

Prince Charles.

Ma'am.

Ma'am, have you anything to say?

All that's left of
this fairytale marriage

is a photo opportunity.

Who are they kidding?

Excuse me, ma'am.

(guests laugh)

Well, I still say
it was ruddy hard.

I saw Sarrington down a pheasant

well after Rodney
left the field.

Come on, Camilla, Sarrington
can't hit the side of a bath.

(guests laugh)

Well, that's true, quite.

You may clear, thank you.

More wine, Edgar?

No, thank you.

I thought after dinner,
perhaps we might play charades.

Oh, sounds like fun.

Oh, unless you're too tired?

No, you can always stay
awake for a bit of fun.

(guests chuckle)

(gentle ballet music)

Alfred, I didn't see
you there. I was just-

I'm afraid I have
some bad news, ma'am.

What's happened?

It's Sergeant Mannakee,
ma'am, a motorcycle accident.

Well, I must go to him at once.

I'm sorry, ma'am, it's too late.

He's dead.

Oh, my god.

(sobs)

A sissonne tombe.

Roll over head,
nice and lightly.

And lift and lift
and lift and smooth.

Prepare for your pirouettes.

And again, sissonne tombe.

Roll over head.

And lightly up, up, up.

And through.

And prepare for your pirouettes.

And lift, heads front.

Up, open, and finish close.

(spectators applaud)

That's all I ever wanted
to be when I was little.

When I was teenager, I
used to go off by myself

and listen to music and
dance like a maniac.

It was the only way I
could express myself.

I longed to become a ballerina.

What stopped you?

I got too tall,

and everyone kept telling
me I wasn't good enough.

I sometimes wonder if any of us

ever recover from our childhood.

(Diana chuckles)

Diana.

When I knew that AIDS had
limited my time on earth,

I vowed to make the most
of each day I had left.

Now I'd like you to
consider joining me

on the board of the
AIDS Crisis Trust.

Yes, of course, Adrian.

Well, that's good,

'cause when the Princess of
Wales gives her blessing,

the rest of the world follows,

and you have a way
of making people

open their wallets
for a worthy cause.

(spectators applaud)

Uncle James, take me out there
with you, I want to play.

Can't do that, Your Highness.

It's not in the
rules, I'm afraid.

Hello there.

How're you getting
on? Need anything?

No, thank you, Captain.

It's kind of you to ask, though.

Are you still coming for a
riding lesson tomorrow morning?

I certainly am! (chuckles)

(camera snaps)

I'm afraid this is not a
happy situation, ma'am.

The tabloids have picked up
on the fact that because the

Prince and Princess have such
busy and sometimes conflicting

schedules, they've been forced
to be apart for some 38 days.

"It has been impossible to
disguise the differences

between the Royal couple and
certainly in recent months

they appear to have
given up even trying."

Rather nicely put, I must say.

However, one does
prefer such things

to stay within the palace walls.

It's all so innocent.

I will not be made out
to be the guilty party.

I hold you responsible
for much of this, Charles.

You were born into the firm.

You were told to help
Diana find her way.

Well, six years is a
long time to be lost.

(scoffs) We want
you to patch it up.

Now how do you expect to be King

if you can't manage
your own wife?

(rumbling)

(Diana gasps)

(door opens and closes)

Are you okay?

Just had a really bad dream.
(helicopter blades whir)

(telephone rings)

There's been an accident?

Yes, a call for
medical assistance?

What's happened?

We'll have to wait
until we know more.

No, tell me what's happened now!

There's been an accident
on the slopes, one dead.

They don't know who yet.

(siren wails)

(telephone rings)
(somber music)

Yes?

Yes, of course. I'll inform
Her Royal Highness immediately.

Thank you.

Prince Charles is quite
safe, ma'am, I'm afraid,

I'm afraid Major
Lindsay is dead, ma'am.

Mrs. Palmer-Tomkinson
is seriously injured.

(crowd yell)

Thank god you're alive.

It's clear from
our investigations

that your group skied
outside the marked runs.

You set off the fatal avalanche.

That you survived was more
luck than good judgment.

Goodnight, sir.

Ma'am.

(Diana sighs)

Will you have to answer charges?

No, not in a court of law.

I shall have to
answer to myself.

These people were my guests,
deferred to my wishes.

I watched as he disappeared
into a giant cloud of snow.

And afterwards...

I just remember clawing at
the snow with my bare hands.

And I just kept
saying, over and...

Responsibility.

Responsibility.

Over and over, control.

Control.

Why do you suppose I said that?

We must go home straight away.

No, I can't.

It's our responsibility.

We must take Hugh's body back.

It's the least we
can do for his wife.

(sighs) It was terrible night.

I tried to get close to him.

He wouldn't let me.

I felt so useless.

You did your best.

Well, when we got home,

I invited Hugh's widow to
Highgrove and we stayed up

all night, talking
and remembering him.

I think I did make
a small difference.

You're the kindest
person I know, Diana.

You're so good at helping
people when they're sad.

You tell Charles that.

Do you know, I think it
makes me sick to be near him.

You can't blame
Charles for everything.

(chuckles) Whose
side are you on?

Yours, always.

That's why I have
to say this to you.

Don't you think I know
what you've been doing?

Why you're so thin and moody?

I've known for a long
time that you mistake

throwing up for dieting.

Diana, I love you. That's
why I'm saying this.

People die from doing what
you're doing. You must get help!

If you don't, I'll
go to the papers.

I'll tell the entire
world that you're bulimic.

You can't do that.

I will, if that's what it
takes to make you get help.

(Diana sighs)

Okay.

How many times have you
tried to commit suicide?

Four or five, perhaps.

Tell me about the first time.

(chuckles) I don't think
that I was really trying to-

Kill yourself?

Sounds so cold.

There's nothing pleasant
about death, Your Highness.

Or about living with bulimia.

Do you have any idea what
you're doing to yourself?

When you make yourself vomit,

it isn't just food
that comes up.

You're forcing up acids which
belong only in the stomach

to come up through your gullet,
your mouth and your throat.

You'll eventually burn away
parts of your esophagus,

your entire body chemistry
will be thrown out of balance.

You may experiencing acute
headaches, anxiety attacks,

feelings of isolation,
violent mood changes,

in addition to which,
how is your sex drive?

People around here don't
talk about such things.

They didn't talk
about the bulimia

or the suicide attempts?

Oh, I should think
they chatted about it.

Just not to me, that's all.

Often, when a person
does herself harm,

it's a desperate cry for help
and I'm here to help you.

I'd like to believe you.

But you must be prepared

to deal with things
that are painful.

Therapy's not about what
is wrong with others,

or what they have done to you.

It's about what
is wrong with you

and what you are
doing to yourself,

but I promise you one thing.

If you manage to keep your
food down for six months,

you'll be a new person.

We'll be seeing that again.

A waste.

Bastard.

I have agreed to become a
patron of an AIDS charity,

but I'm meeting with resistance

from certain members
of the palace staff.

I don't think it's
fitting that the future

Queen of England work with
that particular affliction.

Is that because the present
Queen objects to the

controversy or is that because
you would rather that I

devote my time to the
protection of rhubarb?

Nothing wrong with rhubarb.

I'd like you to help me to
learn to speak in public.

Why not ask Alfred?

To hell with you. I
shall do it myself.

As a mother of two small boys,

I know family life is
extremely important,

and I think we may have to find

a securer way of
helping our children.

To nurture and prepare
them to face life

as stable and confident adults.

You have almost
emptied the hall by now

and those remaining
are fast asleep.

Firstly, don't look
down when you speak.

Let us see your pretty face, hm?

And then relax and
speak more slowly.

That will bring your register
down from its present squeak.

(chuckles) Are you
this awful to everyone?

Yes.

Being awful is a splendid way
to gain the world's attention.

You might remember
that. (chuckles)

And again!

One minute I was a nobody,

the next minute I was
the Princess of Wales.

Mother, media toy,
member of this family.

It's too much for
one person to handle.

Everywhere I go, thousands
of people turn out to see me.

And then I go home and live
this mouse-like existence.

No one ever says "well done."

It doesn't matter what
other people think.

It's what you think.

(sighs) Sometimes I
get so fed up with it.

That's why I involve myself
with my work, get out and about.

If I stop to think, I'll go mad.

So pretty.

Hats make me feel so confident.

(knocks)

Excuse me, ma'am,
have you had a chance

to look at your
draft of the, um-

Timetable?

Yes, I have, actually. I've
given it considerable thought.

And, uh, here's what I want.

On the 3rd in the morning,

I'm to deliver a speech at
the opening of the new daycare

center at the Teaside
Hospice Care Foundation.

Then I shall attend a luncheon
to launch the National AIDS

Trust at the Guild Hall and
that night there's a reception

for the British Sports
Association for the Disabled.

Rather a busy schedule.
We shall have to see.

Thank you, Alfred.
(shredder hums)

(cameras snap)

And this is Michael.

Michael was a wonderful dancer.

Hello, Michael.

Now I'm known as
a man with AIDS.

I'm worried someone may throw
a brick through my window.

I'm afraid you have to live
with their ignorance, Michael.

Thank you.

This means more to
me than anything.

You see, Diana.

You have the ability to
make a real difference.

Don't let anyone
tell you otherwise.

(Diana laughs)

Diana?
Yeah?

Oh, great.

Good for you.

Damn press are taking me to
task for all manner of things.

I'm too fat.
Well, I'm too thin.

Bad dresser.
Shopaholic.

Too loud!

Too shy.

Leaving my baby.

Taking my baby.

What the hell do they
know about us anyway?

Everything, down to the
size of our bras. (laughs)

Well, just don't give them
anything to latch onto, Sarah.

Be delightful but be discreet.

There's something about the
men in this damned family.

They're absolute hell
on horses and women.

Well, I'm going to
Highgrove this weekend.

Camilla's sister's having
a 40th birthday party.

So he's still seeing her?

Mm-hm.

No one's expecting
to see me, though.

Will, Harry, come on.

(background chatter)

Excuse me.

How are you?

Hello, Camilla.
Good evening, sir.

Diana, how nice of you to come.

I wouldn't have missed
this for the world.

How's your mother, sir?
Still Queen.

Your sister's always been a
particular favorite of ours.

How wonderful that
she's turned 40.

Now that I'm 27 I'm
beginning to feel rather old.

The things I saw in that
AIDS ward were beyond belief.

Those precious little children.

And I'm afraid a lot
of them are dead now.

Excuse me, please.

I need to speak to Camilla.

I'd like the rest of
you leave, please.

Charles?

Close the door on your way out.

(door closes)

That was hardly civil.

Oh.

Oh, of course. You're an
expert in proper behavior.

I mean, you wouldn't
be caught dead

stealing an other
woman's husband!

Don't be ridiculous.

I wasn't born yesterday,
Camilla. I know.

I've always known there's
something going on

between you and Charles.

We're good friends,
have been for years.

Well, I suppose we do
have one thing in common.

He never told either of
us that he cared for us.

At least not in time anyway.

You lost him and
now I'm losing him.

Are you drunk?

No, I'm just really angry.

So I just thought I'd
let you know, Gladys,

that I resent the letters
and the phone calls

and the adorable little cuff
links with the Cs intertwined

and I resent you
fluffing the pillows

and playing lady of
the manor at Highgrove.

You really are a
ridiculous creature.

Perhaps, but I
feel so much better

for having said
this to your face.

How do you feel when you're
with Charles or his family?

Hopeless.

Trapped.

Unwanted.

I never seem to be able to
think of anything to say

that they want to hear.

Oh and then I fly into
these rages with Charles

or the staff and I
just cry and cry.

I was never like that
before I went to the palace.

Keep one thing in
mind, Your Highness.

They're as much stuck with
you as you are with them.

Define your limits, make
people deal with you,

and let them know what you want.

(sighs) What I want
is love, affection.

Have you asked for those things?

If you want something,
you must let people know.

It's rather odd, how I
push people away from me

when I need them the most.

When I'm hurting.

I thought we might talk.

Well, you could stop
weeding for a minute.

This may come as a surprise.

Oh, really?

I want another baby.

(Charles chuckles)

Thought you swore you'd never

go through another pregnancy?

Well, yes, there were
reasons for that, but,

it should be easier this time.

You already work 16 hours a day.

You're too busy to have another.

I want us to make
this marriage work.

I want us to make a fresh start.

This is depressing, actually.

What is?

That one should
work at marriage.

It should just come.

But it hasn't, in our case.

And I want you to
stop seeing Camilla.

Did you ever love me?

No.

(spectators cheer)

That's right, swing it.

That's it.

No, Will. Harry, Harry.

Come back, come back. Please.

Here we go, Herbert.

(Charles groans)

Get in nice and close.

What do you think
I'm trying to do?

Is he okay?
It looked pretty nasty.

That's it, sir.

Take the weight off it now, sir.

There we are, that's it.
(cameras snap)

Is Daddy all right, nanny?

I know, I'll just
play left-handed now.

Thank you again, thank you.

How are you feeling, sir?
(cameras snap)

What an original question.

How's the arm, Your Highness?

Well, if you want to
know, I'm barely alive.

(cameras snap)

Thought I'd fetch you myself.

Oh, well I hadn't planned
on returning to the palace.

Well, what exactly had
you planned on doing?

Well, there's not much I can do.

I thought I'd go to Highgrove.

At least until the
cast comes off.

(cameras snap)

Can you turn this
way, please, ma'am?

Just one picture, ma'am.

I suspect I won't be out
and about too much longer.

Don't be silly, Adrian.

You've been wonderful.

Everybody loves
you, you know that.

It's a strange feeling
being wanted for myself.

I keep asking myself, "why me?"

You call yourself thick as
a plank and empty headed,

but you've become an authority
and not just on AIDS.

I think it's time you gave
yourself the same respect

you give others.

Adrian?

I'd like to be there at the end.

Will you promise me
you'll ask for me?

Oh, my dear.

You have no idea how
much that means to me.

I've been asked to
inform you, ma'am,

that after a meeting
at the highest level,

it's been agreed that we
should change your profile

from AIDS to Family Planning.

I don't think so.

Oh, but surely, ma'am,
you don't want to go down

in history as the
patron saint of sodomy?

Alfred?
Yes, ma'am.

Go to hell!

(horse whinnies)

Thank you.

I cannot believe that I'm happy

to be back in a saddle again.
(James chuckles)

Got something for you.

Oh, thank you, Diana.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

(horse whinnies)

(both laugh)

Do you like it?
Oh, it's lovely.

Oh, thank you so much.

I know, four months
and two operations

and still the bloody
thing isn't right.

It'll heal in time, Charles.

Look at that.

I'd rather be a farmer.

There's something satisfactory
about mucking out,

mending stone
walls, milking cows.

I enjoy coming to know
them by their udders.

I do.

(sighs)

Sometimes I think I
don't want to be King.

(Camilla sighs)

It's almost as if
I dread the day.

Think I'll leave
the glory to Diana.

Oh, I think that's
a mistake, Charles.

Do you?

Why?

Despite what people say,

the people who know you
best know that you're a good

and loving father when
you get the chance to be.

And I think it's time somebody
pointed out your virtues

and also the contributions
you make to public life,

because you will make
a very good King.

If you want to be like me,
Gilbey, you've got to suffer.

Oh, squidgie.

Oh, you have to.

Then you get what you-
Get what you want?

No, get what you
deserve, perhaps.

I don't want to talk about that.

What have you got on?

Well, I've got the new
jeans I bought yesterday.

(chuckles) Good.

Green socks.

Pink and white shirt.

Oh and I'm afraid I'll let
you down with the shoes.

Go on, then.

The bone suedes.
The ones you hate?

I just don't like the fact

it's so obvious
where they come from.

Well, I'll give you some money

and you can go off
and spend it for me.

I'm a bit of connoisseur
in that department.

Decked out a few men in my time.

Not many, I hope.

Who have you decked out?

James Hewitt. Entirely
dressed him from head to foot.

Cost me quite a bit, that man.

Yeah, I bet it did.

Very extravagant, darling.

Well, I am, aren't I?

Anything to make people happy.

(birds tweet)

"As I was going to St Ives,
I met a man with seven wives.

Each wife had seven sacks,
each sack had seven cats.

Each cat had seven kits.

Kits, cats, sacks and wives.

How many were there
going to St Ives?"

(knocks)

Prince William?
It's your father.

"Dear William, we are
having good weather

for this time of year.

I have been working
in the garden."

A lot over here, aren't there?

12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

Daddy's working in the garden.

What a surprise.

When are we going to see Daddy?

He's invited us
for next weekend.

You know, Gilbey, I
miss the old days.

We did have fun.

Yes.

I'm actually rather
proud of myself, Gilbey.

That's why you must keep
on seeing your doctor,

because you are so much better.

(sighs) It's just so difficult.

So complicated.

It makes my life real,
real torture, I've decided.

Tell me more, darling.

How would you feel if
every time you went

to your husband's
house, you were sick?

Well, when you get these urges,

you must try and
replace it with anger.

Remember what your doctor says.

Just take it one day at a time.

I think you're
doing wonderfully.

Yeah, I'll just go out and
do my bit the way I know how,

and I'll leave him behind.

That's what I see happening.

Well, I've got to kiss the kids.

I love you, love you, love you.

(Diana chuckles)

(Diana sighs)

Prince William was
seriously injured today

after being hit by a golf cart
at his Berkshire prep school.

He was rushed to Great
Ormond Street Hospital

with a suspected
fractured skull.

It was just an accident, ma'am.

I'm sure William is in
safe hands at the hospital.

Where's Charles?

He's on his way
down from Highgrove.

Who loves you most, Will?

You do, Mommy.

Call me when you
have word, will you?

He's not out of surgery yet.

Well there's no danger,
we've been told that.

Don't make more out
of this than it is.

He's your son, you have
to support your children

in the bad times as
well as the good.

He's in safe hands and I
must keep to my schedule.

There's an environmental
studies conference in Yorkshire

early tomorrow morning,
Covent Garden tonight.

(somber orchestral music)

Ma'am, it was a serious
blow to the head,

but the operation went
off without a hitch.

Prince William's
going to be fine.

Thank heaven.
You can see him shortly.

Thank you very much.

(sighs)

(sighs)

These vermin are
having a field day.

This bloody row is her fault.

Not entirely, Charles.

Despise her penchant
for the grand gesture.

Inflating the smallest
thing into a crisis.

Well, let's face it. You
should never have left him.

I, I... Yes, you're right.

But she smothers
him with affection.

That's hardly the point.

I'm treated like
a divorced father.

I have to ask her permission
to see the children.

Well, they're at Balmoral now.

You have every
opportunity to see them.

Yes, well, I'd rather stay here.

(tires screech)

(laughter)

(laughter)

You've got a lot of nerve!

Oh, come on, Anne. We're
just having a bit of fun!

Well, you know how Granny
feels about her Daimler.

No harm done.

Really?

You've done nothing
but harm, both of you.

Why can't you just
learn how to behave?

Unlike some people,

I haven't been doing
this for 40 years.

How can you be so unkind?

I am sorry to see you all
so unhappy with one another.

You have no idea what it's
like to marry into this family.

Sarah has had years to
make the adjustment.

Why is she still floundering?

(sighs) With no help
and constant criticism,

one gets worn down.

Sarah's at the
end of her tether.

Maybe the last time we
ever see her at Balmoral,

if you don't give
her more leeway.

There is no leeway for a Royal.

Then you will lose her.

We shall see.

I want to get the rose, so
I'll give you all the red ones.

Thank you.

Mr. Ward-Jackson has
asked for you, ma'am.

I can't get a flight, they
won't arrange a plane.

I'll need the car.
Well, it is 600 miles.

You really must speak
with Her Majesty.

Ask permission first.

There's no time to
argue with her now.

(tense orchestral music)

Adrian.

Hung on till you got here.

It's not so bad, you know.

I'm going on a
very great journey.

Adrian, no.

I want you to have it.

I already have so
much to thank you for.

Knowing you has changed
the way I look at life.

And death.

(telephone rings)

Ma'am.

It's a phone call.
It's Her Majesty.

Thank you.

Diana?
Yes.

Your display of devotion
to Mr. Ward-Jackson

goes beyond the traditional
call of duty in such matters.

We must insist that
you return promptly.

This is not duty, ma'am.

This is love.

I've given him my word, I
will not breach his trust.

(melancholy orchestral music)

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures.

He leadeth me
beside still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in
paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk
through the valley

of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil.

For thou art with me.

(audience applauds)

Indeed, it is almost incredible
that in Shakespeare's land

one child in seven
leaves primary school

functionally illiterate.

HIV does not make people
dangerous to know.

So you can shake their
hand and give them a hug.

Heaven knows they need it.

(audience applauds)

Diana made the front
page, you are buried on-

On page 23.

Whatever possessed
you to schedule

both speeches on the same day?

You've got a staff of 20.
Don't they talk to each other?

Well, it's all rather
deliberate on her part.

Well ,the damn tabloids
have started calling her

Mother Theresa with a tiara.

Between her wardrobe
and the children,

it's difficult to compete.

That's the trouble, Charles,
you shouldn't be competing.

You must arrange your
diaries to be seen

spending more time together.

And you must spend more
time with the children.

But I always-

I do not wish to see
another photo of your son

in the papers captioned,
"where's my daddy?"

They are well cared
for, and happy.

You keep missing the point.

This isn't just about image.

You must change the substance
of your relationship.

There is no substance
to our relationship.

I understand that
you met Camilla

when you were
sketching in Italy.

Yes, bumped into her.

I understand you see
quite a bit of each other.

How can you be trusted
to serve the nation

if you cannot run your own life?

If things do not change,

then I will take matters
into my own hands.

I do not wish to go down
in the history books

as Elizabeth the Last.

(guests laugh and applaud)

Shall I make a wish?

(guests chuckle)

There we are.

(guests applaud)

I'm so glad you're back, James.

I was so worried
about you in the Gulf.

I'm glad to do my part.

You're so big, Harry!

Uncle James, did you really
drive a tank in the war?

Yes, I did.

But I thought you rode a horse?

Well, a tank's a
sort of metal horse.

It's not.

(Diana chuckles)

He's a fine lad.

He's very fond of you.

Do you know how much I missed
you while you were away?

Thank you for all the letters.

Happy birthday.
Thank you.

(chuckles)

Well, my great-grandmother
was the mistress

of Charles' great
-great grandfather.

She's the one who
said a Royal mistress

should curtsy first
then leap into bed.

(guests laugh)

Diana made a point
of telling the press

what a wretched husband I am.

Not letting me have a
proper birthday celebration.

She set it up.

She does have a way of
making you look bad, Charles.

Perhaps someone can have
a word with the press.

Let them know your
side of the story.

I suggest you get rid
of her immediately,

get a divorce and get
on with your life.

(Charles laughs)

I feel the same
obligation to you

that I felt in 1952.

With your prayers and your help

and with the love and
support of my family,

I shall try to serve you
in the years to come.

Bloody hell!

(glass shatters)

May God bless you

and bring you a happy Christmas.

You ought to talk to
your mother, you know.

She's been asking for you.
Oh, really?

Do you know she never told
me about her broadcast?

A lot of this is your fault.
Really?

Have you given any
thought as to how it looks

when you allow your brothers
to be councilors of state

when your mother's
away on business?

I don't want to be a stand-in.

Well, if you carry on showing
such total indifference

to your basic duties, why
should she give you the job?

Because I'm 43 years old

and the laughing
stock of England.

Do you realize that
we only see each other

for holidays and
state occasions?

I don't know how much
more of this I can take!

The arguments, the
silences, the distance!

Well, that can't be helped.

Unless you change your attitude
towards me and the work

that I do, I will have to
reconsider my position.

Do you really think that's
some kind of threat, Diana?

That you're going to walk out
of here and never come back?

No matter how you play the game,

you will always have
to deal with me.

Well, yes, you've
made that quite clear.

Whatever happens
between us, Charles,

just remember one thing.

I am the mother of
the future King.

It is my duty to prepare William

to be the best king he can be.

It's just a pity that
no one did that for you.

You don't understand,
do you, Diana?

The children don't
belong to you.

They belong to England.

Well, you said you wanted to
see me King in your lifetime.

Yes, Charles, that's true.

But not when your domestic
situation is so unsteady.

We cannot afford a
scandal, Charles.

The risk to the
Monarchy is too great.

Both in terms of controversy
and public unhappiness.

I and my mother before
me have spent a lifetime

rebuilding the prestige
of the House of Windsor.

I will not see that ruined.

There's not going
to be a scandal.

But the situation's
become intolerable.

I just thought that we
might consider our options.

You're not to consider divorce.

Why?

Do you know that we are not
like other people, Charles?

We rule only by the
sufferance of public opinion!

Besides, it's unlikely
that the church

would sanction a divorce.

And even if it did, how could
you one day take our place

as head of the church?

It would not tolerate
a divorced monarch.

So, we are to tell
them tomorrow.

Are you sure?

Is there absolutely
no other way?

I'm so very tired of people
saying to me, "no, you can't.

No, you can't, No, you can't."

I can't stand it anymore.

And I'm not going to forfeit
my children's childhood

for the sake of
Royal engagements.

I've made rather a
mess of it, I'm afraid.

At times I've been
a bloody fool.

I can't bear the
thought of divorce.

I want to spare Wills and Harry

what I went through as a child.

We both know what that's like,

but I have to leave, I have
to get out of the system.

You should get out, too.

(Diana chuckles)

I may not have a single
supporter in this family,

but they're not
going to break me.

I'm not going anywhere.

I wonder what it's like to
be an out-of-work Princess.

(Diana chuckles)

Margaret divorced,
Anne divorced.

And now Andrew and Sarah.

Well, she was never
suited to Royal life.

She's been a disaster
since she married him.

Oh, I rather liked her once.

She made us laugh.

My god, what if they all leave?

(birds tweet)

I'm so glad you're
feeling better.

Better now that you're with me.

Why don't I cancel my trip?

And disappoint the children?

Not a chance. I'll be fine.

You've always been a
wonderful daughter.

You brought up Harry
and Wills to love me.

And for some reason, they do.

We all do, Daddy.

I understand Charles is spending

more time with the children.

He's very selfish
with his own time.

The children have to fit
into what he's doing.

(sighs) He doesn't really
consider their needs.

It's a reflection of the
way he was brought up.

History repeating itself.

What is it, dear?

My life is not what I
thought it would be.

Our marriage not what I'd hoped.

(sighs)

I've been making some decisions
about what life should be

for me and the children.

I want them brought
up differently.

I want my children to
have a better family life

than their father had.

I believe children need the love

and support of both
of their parents.

Not just shipped off
to some boarding school

for discipline and cold showers.

But surely you don't want
to change the Monarchy?

Perhaps I do.

(Charles laughs)

(yelps)

Yes!
Sorry, I overshot the mark.

Excuse me, sir.

Can I have a word?

Yes?
It's about, um...

So I can protect you.

You can't, Wills,
you've got to be King.

Daddy's going to be King.

That's right and a very
good King he'll be, too.

Ma'am?

(Diana screams)

Ma'am?

It's the palace.
Oh, right, thank you.

Hello?

Yes?

(dark orchestral music)

When?

Thank you.

That was the palace.

Daddy's dead.

It was his heart.

I should never have left him.

He was doing so well
when you last saw him.

Improving.

Come here, children.

Come here, sweetie.

Your grandfather
died earlier today.

His heart stopped.

Did it hurt him?
No.

No, I think it
happened very fast.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Thank you, Wills.

Me too.

On you go, babies.
Come on, chaps.

Let's go outside.

I want to go home tonight.

You can stay with the children.

No, we shall have to
wait until tomorrow.

Then I will go back with you.

The children can remain
behind with their nanny.

It's a little late,
don't you think,

to start acting like
the caring husband?

You shouldn't be alone
at a time like this.

Why not?

I'm alone most of the time.

Anyway, I have no
intention of becoming

part of a palace public
relations scheme.

That is not my intention, Diana.

Then what is?

Consolation for
the woman you love?

The Prince must
accompany you, ma'am.

Think how it would
seem, otherwise.

It's my father who has died
and it's him that I care about

and I will not be put on display
for the sake of the firm!

And I don't care what some
reporter from the tabloids

is going to write because
I will not be used!

Oh, really?

Then why are your
closest friends

airing their opinions in public?

Yes, well, I think
it would be better

if the Queen were
to be consulted.

Let her arbitrate
in this matter.

Oh, yes, right.

Run to Mommy.

(solemn organ music)

(car door closes)

Are you sure?

Yes, it appears that Morton's
book and its photographs

have the authority of some of
Diana's friends and family.

This tiresome situation is
causing trouble to us all.

Our first priority, sir,

must be to preserve
your reputation.

To stress your accomplishments,
schedule more engagements.

We need to rally the
support of your friends.

Which indeed I have.

Well, apparently
it wasn't enough.

You must do more.

We need to brief
the journalists.

Attempt to shift
their attitudes.

If there is anything to this
bulimia business, we need

to remind them how erratic
it can make one's behavior.

Your inaction, sir,
will be construed

as confirmation of the book.

Alfred's right, Charles, and
Diana is extremely popular.

She's always won the
public's sympathy.

Perhaps the public should be
lead to believe that there's

more than meets the eye in
her friendships with, uh,

with this Gilbey and Hewitt.

I want you to do nothing.

Let me have a word with Diana.

I've never spoken
to Andrew Morton.

I don't know what I'm
supposed to do about all this.

Well, it's published now.

There's no way I can
answer his allegations.

We've caused each other
so much unhappiness.

Well, it's the
children I worry about.

(sighs)

Neither one of us
should have to go on

living under this kind
of pressure, Diana.

I know, it hasn't worked out

and we don't seem to be
able to make it work out.

Why don't we just spare
ourselves and our children

further embarrassment?

Perhaps it is for the best.

If we had separate lives-

We already have separate lives.

I only see you when we're
both at the same event.

Then we should go
our separate ways?

Mm.

(chuckles) Mother has
told me that the church

will not tolerate
a divorced monarch.

I know.

Diana.

If we do this,

will you be happy?

My children make me happy.

My work makes me happy.

I shall try and arrange
a meeting with my mother.

Good.

We'll go in together.

I cannot agree to a
separation in any form.

It's our marriage, our decision.

It's what we want.

But it's not just your marriage.

You are the Royal Highness.

The Prince and
Princess of Wales.

After Andrew and Anne, people
are disappointed with us.

The family is in trouble.

Do you realize that I am
having private discussions

with the Prime Minister
about paying income tax?

I want you to be King, Charles.

And I want William
to succeed him.

That wretched Morton book.
All those insinuations.

That is beside the point.

We both think a divorce
is for the best.

But have you both considered

the consequences
of a separation?

I really believe that
as head of the church,

there could be pressure
on me from the government,

and the commonwealth

to discuss the
succession to the throne.

Indeed, they could even suggest

that William take your place.

Are you willing to
give up everything?

I thought I was.

Are you willing to lose
custody of your children?

No.

Well, in that case,
I'd like an agreement,

whereby Charles and
I only see each other

when the children are
likely to be present.

I must insist that you
make joint appearances

as and when necessary.

And I intend to continue
with my charity work.

Including AIDS, I suppose?

Especially AIDS.

I believe in the work that I do.

And I will not
let ribbon-cutting

get in the way of
helping people.

Well, for heaven's
sake, both of you

keep a low profile socially.

It is vital that this work.

The future of the
monarchy is in your hands.

Yes, Mother.

I want this to work, Charles.

When I turn off
my light at night,

I'd like to know that
I've done my best.
