[Voiceover] He has often spoken of the deep bonds 1819 01:21:48,194 --> 01:21:51,907 forged in the services, such as with Corporal Ben McBean. 1820 01:21:51,948 --> 01:21:53,950 He was badly injured when serving 1821 01:21:53,992 --> 01:21:56,161 on the same tour of Afghanistan. 1822 01:21:56,202 --> 01:21:57,954 - He's done really well with helping out. 1823 01:21:57,996 --> 01:22:00,665 All the charities, as well, with, obviously, 1824 01:22:00,665 --> 01:22:03,084 the guys that have been injured. 1825 01:22:03,126 --> 01:22:06,171 - We don't want pity, but we do want the opportunity 1826 01:22:06,212 --> 01:22:09,174 to grow and to overcome our illness. 1827 01:22:09,215 --> 01:22:12,093 - [Voiceover] You've spent a lot of time with these guys. 1828 01:22:12,135 --> 01:22:15,680 I get a sense that you're at your most relaxed 1829 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,434 with them, and that they make you feel 1830 01:22:19,476 --> 01:22:21,144 a little humble, maybe, sometimes? 1831 01:22:21,186 --> 01:22:23,980 - No, completely, I love spending time with these guys, 1832 01:22:24,022 --> 01:22:26,816 and I like to think that I know, roughly, 1833 01:22:26,858 --> 01:22:28,193 what they're going through, as well. 1834 01:22:28,234 --> 01:22:29,819 - [Voiceover] Do you miss the army? 1835 01:22:29,861 --> 01:22:31,112 - I miss parts of it, 1836 01:22:31,154 --> 01:22:32,739 but that's another reason why I'm gonna 1837 01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:33,990 be involved with these guys 1838 01:22:34,032 --> 01:22:35,200 for the rest of my life 1839 01:22:35,241 --> 01:22:37,202 because that military banter never goes, 1840 01:22:37,243 --> 01:22:39,621 that dark sense of humor will always be there. 1841 01:22:39,663 --> 01:22:42,040 - [Voiceover] Prince Harry may well never be king, 1842 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,834 but he is more Spencer than Windsor, 1843 01:22:44,876 --> 01:22:47,212 more likely to wear his heart on his sleeve 1844 01:22:47,253 --> 01:22:50,173 and more likely to be taken to other people's hearts. 1845 01:22:50,215 --> 01:22:53,885 Prince Harry's life may well be at a crossroads now, 1846 01:22:53,885 --> 01:22:57,889 but he is unlikely to ever fade into the background. 1847 01:23:00,767 --> 01:23:03,061 For over 60 years, the queen has reigned 1848 01:23:03,061 --> 01:23:05,146 over Britain and its Commonwealth. 1849 01:23:05,188 --> 01:23:09,192 Elizabeth II is the matriarch to the princes of the palace. 1850 01:23:09,234 --> 01:23:12,237 As wife, mother, grandmother 1851 01:23:12,278 --> 01:23:14,864 and now great-grandmother 1852 01:23:14,906 --> 01:23:16,574 she has provided a sense of duty 1853 01:23:16,616 --> 01:23:18,743 that binds the Windsors together. 1854 01:23:18,785 --> 01:23:20,161 - The Duke of Edinburgh said to me once, 1855 01:23:20,203 --> 01:23:21,997 "You know, when the queen first became queen, 1856 01:23:22,038 --> 01:23:24,249 "and went on tours in the early 1950s, 1857 01:23:24,290 --> 01:23:27,168 "millions, millions of people came out 1858 01:23:27,210 --> 01:23:29,587 "in the streets and cheered, 1859 01:23:29,629 --> 01:23:33,758 "and if the queen had taken that attention for herself, 1860 01:23:33,758 --> 01:23:36,678 "it would have been corrosive. 1861 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,681 "She knew the attention, the adulation, 1862 01:23:39,723 --> 01:23:41,766 "was not for her, 1863 01:23:41,808 --> 01:23:45,186 "it was for the position of being queen." 1864 01:23:45,228 --> 01:23:47,105 - When she became queen, 1865 01:23:47,105 --> 01:23:48,773 there was still a large percentage 1866 01:23:48,773 --> 01:23:51,151 of people who believed that she was anointed by God. 1867 01:23:51,192 --> 01:23:53,570 It was a very different class system. 1868 01:23:53,611 --> 01:23:56,156 The establishment was an all-powerful. 1869 01:23:56,197 --> 01:23:58,074 Royalty did not give interviews. 1870 01:23:58,116 --> 01:24:00,201 - [Voiceover] Sometimes the perception of aloofness 1871 01:24:00,243 --> 01:24:03,246 and distance which was certainly bridged when-- 1872 01:24:03,288 --> 01:24:04,831 - Ah, I think I would 1873 01:24:04,873 --> 01:24:08,168 twist that slightly and say to you that, 1874 01:24:08,209 --> 01:24:10,962 perhaps, that's the way the other people 1875 01:24:10,962 --> 01:24:14,591 think we want to be, 1876 01:24:16,217 --> 01:24:18,803 rather than, necessarily, the way 1877 01:24:18,803 --> 01:24:21,639 that we would choose to be. 1878 01:24:21,681 --> 01:24:23,683 - [Voiceover] The queen's lesson to the royal princes 1879 01:24:23,725 --> 01:24:25,643 is that public duty must always 1880 01:24:25,685 --> 01:24:28,188 come before personal pleasure. 1881 01:24:28,229 --> 01:24:30,190 - [Voiceover] I don't think she has yet seen the film 1882 01:24:30,231 --> 01:24:34,069 called The Queen because she's not interested in herself. 1883 01:24:34,110 --> 01:24:35,820 She doesn't read about herself. 1884 01:24:35,820 --> 01:24:38,990 She is not preoccupied with herself. 1885 01:24:39,032 --> 01:24:40,200 She doesn't belong 1886 01:24:40,241 --> 01:24:42,327 to the me, me, me generation. 1887 01:24:42,368 --> 01:24:45,663 She isn't touchy feely as a human being. 1888 01:24:45,705 --> 01:24:47,207 She is descreet. 1889 01:24:47,248 --> 01:24:49,250 She does her duty. 1890 01:24:49,292 --> 01:24:51,336 - There are two big influences, 1891 01:24:51,377 --> 01:24:53,963 one was the example of what happened 1892 01:24:54,005 --> 01:24:55,965 with her uncle, Edward VIII, 1893 01:24:56,007 --> 01:24:58,218 king for such a short time, never even crowned. 1894 01:24:58,259 --> 01:25:00,261 That would have instilled in her 1895 01:25:00,303 --> 01:25:02,972 the idea that you do not walk away 1896 01:25:03,014 --> 01:25:04,849 from what is your duty. 1897 01:25:04,891 --> 01:25:07,602 What her father had done, she carried on. 1898 01:25:07,644 --> 01:25:10,105 She was even more taken to people's hearts 1899 01:25:10,146 --> 01:25:12,357 than her father had been. 1900 01:25:12,398 --> 01:25:14,859 - [Voiceover] The ability to sacrifice for the nation 1901 01:25:14,859 --> 01:25:18,363 is what separates a future king from a prince. 1902 01:25:18,404 --> 01:25:20,365 - You've seen what Prince William is doing 1903 01:25:20,406 --> 01:25:22,784 in Australia and New Zealand. 1904 01:25:22,826 --> 01:25:26,121 I, for one, think that royal family's relevant. 1905 01:25:26,162 --> 01:25:29,165 I think it's relevant probably more so in the 21st century 1906 01:25:29,207 --> 01:25:32,043 than we really, either, want to, 1907 01:25:32,085 --> 01:25:33,795 or realized. 1908 01:25:33,837 --> 01:25:36,256 - [Voiceover] Four generations of the House of Windsor, 1909 01:25:36,297 --> 01:25:38,258 Prince Phlip, Prince Charles, 1910 01:25:38,299 --> 01:25:40,343 Prince William, Prince Harry, 1911 01:25:40,385 --> 01:25:42,262 and Prince George. 1912 01:25:42,303 --> 01:25:44,013 - He's a character. 1913 01:25:44,055 --> 01:25:45,890 He clearly is winning the hearts and minds of people. 1914 01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:48,726 It's difficult to know what type of king he will be. 1915 01:25:48,768 --> 01:25:50,270 Will there even be a monarchy? 1916 01:25:50,311 --> 01:25:51,688 Who knows, I mean, I personally think 1917 01:25:51,729 --> 01:25:53,189 there probably will be. 1918 01:25:53,231 --> 01:25:55,900 - [Voiceover] As the elder generation of princes 1919 01:25:55,942 --> 01:25:58,069 hands over to the younger generation, 1920 01:25:58,111 --> 01:26:01,406 they can be satisfied that the princes of the palace 1921 01:26:01,447 --> 01:26:05,243 have upheld the essence of what monarchy is, 1922 01:26:05,243 --> 01:26:08,037 to unite the people. 1923 01:26:08,079 --> 01:26:12,167 (dramatic music) 1924 01:26:12,208 --> 01:26:18,214 (tranquil music)139565
