1
00:00:00,208 --> 00:00:03,753
- It's a wonderful moment
for a warm and loving couple
2
00:00:03,753 --> 00:00:06,756
who got a brand new baby boy.
3
00:00:06,756 --> 00:00:11,052
(regal instrumental music)
4
00:00:13,596 --> 00:00:15,515
- There is blood in their veins
5
00:00:15,557 --> 00:00:17,767
that has been coursing through
6
00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:19,936
royal veins since before 1066.
7
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:23,189
- Can you get radio
through here? (laughing)
8
00:00:23,231 --> 00:00:24,941
- [Voiceover] There aren't
many 90-year-old men
9
00:00:24,983 --> 00:00:27,527
who are voted as
still being stylish.
10
00:00:27,569 --> 00:00:29,779
- Time hasn't changed him,
11
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:31,948
age certainly changed him,
12
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:33,241
and, in fact, if anything else,
13
00:00:33,283 --> 00:00:34,909
he's probably become,
what we know in Britain,
14
00:00:34,951 --> 00:00:36,828
a grumpy old man.
(beep)
15
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:40,582
(regal instrumental music)
16
00:00:40,623 --> 00:00:43,960
- Charles grew up always
wanting to please his father.
17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,171
He'd been sent away
to school in Scotland
18
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:47,255
which he hated.
19
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:49,174
He was lonely, he was bulled.
20
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:51,051
- Prince Charles gave quite
a number of interviews,
21
00:00:51,092 --> 00:00:53,094
and we never heard
him speak before.
22
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:55,221
- I'm very well informed,
I must say. (laughs)
23
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:57,140
- I think, literally, it
changed his image overnight,
24
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:59,142
from this boy with jug ears
25
00:00:59,142 --> 00:01:02,145
into, sort of, a rather
delightful, whimsical character.
26
00:01:02,145 --> 00:01:05,273
- [Voiceover] He had quite a
long period of bachelorhood
27
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:07,275
where he couldn't
seem to settle down,
28
00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:09,319
and suddenly this
beautiful young girl
29
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,987
came into his life.
30
00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:14,199
- When asked whether Diana
was in love with Charles,
31
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,242
she immediately
said, "Of course",
32
00:01:16,284 --> 00:01:18,828
and he said, "Whatever love is."
33
00:01:18,828 --> 00:01:20,872
- [Voiceover] Today's
edition of The Sun
34
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:23,708
dedicates its first
five pages to a story
35
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:26,878
about the prince's alleged
romance with a fellow student.
36
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,007
(crowd cheering)
37
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,094
- Prince Harry is
more like his mother.
38
00:01:34,135 --> 00:01:35,595
And he's probably
the most popular
39
00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:37,097
member of the royal family
at this moment in time
40
00:01:37,138 --> 00:01:38,973
because people warm to him.
41
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:40,225
- I don't believe
there's any such thing
42
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:41,726
as private life anymore.
43
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:43,019
I'm not gonna sit here,
44
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:44,145
when everyone
knows about Twitter
45
00:01:44,187 --> 00:01:45,855
and the internet
and stuff like that.
46
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:48,358
- People now regard them as
part of the celebrity culture.
47
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:50,110
They're not.
48
00:01:50,151 --> 00:01:52,112
They think of themselves
as part of history.
49
00:01:52,153 --> 00:01:56,157
(dramatic music)
50
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:06,751
(tranquil music)
51
00:02:09,045 --> 00:02:11,297
- [Voiceover] Prince Philip
is head of the royal family
52
00:02:11,339 --> 00:02:13,716
and patriarch of the princes.
53
00:02:13,758 --> 00:02:17,220
Known as a no-nonsense and
tough, gruff military man,
54
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,265
he occasionally oversteps the
line of political correctness
55
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:21,891
(beep)
with both feet.
56
00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:24,394
(dramatic music)
57
00:02:24,435 --> 00:02:27,730
His rise from a titled, but
unprivileged, background
58
00:02:27,772 --> 00:02:29,274
to become the greatest supporter
59
00:02:29,315 --> 00:02:31,776
of the longest reigning
monarch in British history
60
00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,404
is the stuff of story books.
61
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:37,198
But, Prince Philip's
story is true.
62
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,744
- He was born famously on
a kitchen table in Corfu,
63
00:02:41,786 --> 00:02:44,205
and he was evacuated
in an orange box
64
00:02:44,247 --> 00:02:46,291
on board a British destroyer.
65
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:48,918
- Through the 1920s, Prince
Philip lived in exile
66
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,171
with his parents, in Paris.
67
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:52,839
Then, at the end of the 1920s,
68
00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:54,174
his parents split up.
69
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:56,092
His mother had a breakdown,
70
00:02:56,092 --> 00:02:58,178
ended up in an asylum
in Switzerland.
71
00:02:58,219 --> 00:03:00,763
His father floated down
to the South of France
72
00:03:00,805 --> 00:03:04,267
where he ended up with a
girlfriend living in a boat.
73
00:03:04,267 --> 00:03:06,936
- [Voiceover] Following
his time at Gordonstoun,
74
00:03:06,978 --> 00:03:08,730
which specialized in seamanship,
75
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:12,192
Prince Philip left in 1939
to join the Royal Navy
76
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,068
as a cadet.
77
00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:16,446
- He was astonishingly
good looking.
78
00:03:16,487 --> 00:03:19,949
He's always maintained
a very fit profile,
79
00:03:19,949 --> 00:03:22,410
and he looked, what he was,
80
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:24,245
a young Greek god.
81
00:03:24,287 --> 00:03:26,247
- So, he wasn't like
anyone else, I think,
82
00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:29,125
the Princess Elizabeth
would have come up against.
83
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:32,420
- The first notable
meeting was the one
84
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,965
when King George VI
and Queen Elizabeth
85
00:03:35,965 --> 00:03:39,719
went with their children,
Elizabeth and Margaret Rose,
86
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:42,972
to see the sailors
down at Dartmouth,
87
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:46,142
and Prince Philip, because
he was their cousin,
88
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:49,229
was charged with
looking after them.
89
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:51,356
- She met Prince
Philip, of Greece,
90
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:53,983
as he then was in 1939,
91
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:57,278
when he was a
dashing naval cadet
92
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,239
at Dartmouth Naval College.
93
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,324
She'd met him before
at family occasions,
94
00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:03,243
but this was the occasion when,
95
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:05,119
by her own account,
96
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:07,163
the spark was struck.
97
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:09,499
- Very dashing
and very handsome,
98
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:12,919
and I mean, quite unusually,
99
00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:16,756
she actually thought this
man is wonderful, you know,
100
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:20,134
as a 13-year-old could think,
you know, handsome prince.
101
00:04:20,176 --> 00:04:24,138
And never really
had any affection
102
00:04:24,180 --> 00:04:27,308
for any other man ever since.
103
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:30,186
- [Voiceover] After completing
his initial training
104
00:04:30,228 --> 00:04:32,313
at Royal Naval
College Dartmouth,
105
00:04:32,355 --> 00:04:35,066
he joined the battleship
HMS Ramillies,
106
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:38,194
as a midshipman during the
early stages of World War II.
107
00:04:39,195 --> 00:04:41,781
- [Voiceover] From that moment
on, as far as I can make out,
108
00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:45,285
Princess Elizabeth kept a
photograph of Prince Philip
109
00:04:45,326 --> 00:04:48,162
on her desk throughout the war.
110
00:04:48,204 --> 00:04:51,291
- [Voiceover] Prince Philip
enjoyed a glittering war career,
111
00:04:51,332 --> 00:04:54,877
joining the battleship
HMS Valiant in Alexandria
112
00:04:54,919 --> 00:04:57,338
in January 1941.
113
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,882
After his promotion
to sub-lieutenant,
114
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:02,218
he was appointed to the
destroyer, HMS Wallace,
115
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:04,095
(gun firing)
116
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:07,098
based at Rosyth for
convoy escort duties.
117
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,058
Further promotions
meant that he was
118
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,311
appointed second in
command of Wallace
119
00:05:11,352 --> 00:05:14,188
at the unusually
early age of 21.
120
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:18,151
(guns firing)
121
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:23,406
HMS Wallace took part of the
allied invasion of Italy,
122
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:26,534
with the landings on
Sicily in July 1943.
123
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:32,206
- [Voiceover] Prince
Philip was very alpha-male,
124
00:05:32,248 --> 00:05:36,085
quite controlling,
and very positive,
125
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:38,254
and I don't think
Princess Elizabeth
126
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:40,340
ever met a man like
that in her life.
127
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:43,885
She was use to getting up
with lord this and lord that,
128
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:46,596
and people being very
differential to her,
129
00:05:46,637 --> 00:05:48,431
and suddenly someone comes along
130
00:05:48,431 --> 00:05:50,099
and tells her what to do,
131
00:05:50,099 --> 00:05:52,602
and drives to fast and
does all kinds of things.
132
00:05:52,643 --> 00:05:55,104
I think he was just so male.
133
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:58,107
She was just so incredibly
in love with him.
134
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:01,110
- And there wasn't
another character,
135
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:03,279
there were various English dukes
136
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,240
who were rather dim and
they were foreigners,
137
00:06:06,282 --> 00:06:09,285
even more dim, or inappropriate
138
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:13,081
because they'd fought for
the Germans in the war.
139
00:06:13,331 --> 00:06:16,918
And Prince Philip had
the inestimable advantage
140
00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,296
of having fought on our
side in the Royal Navy,
141
00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:22,382
and therefore was okay.
142
00:06:22,423 --> 00:06:26,302
(dramatic music)
143
00:06:26,302 --> 00:06:28,304
- [Voiceover] With news
of growing preparations
144
00:06:28,346 --> 00:06:30,473
for the royal wedding,
come these notable pictures
145
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,475
of the royal family,
accompanied by
146
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:34,644
Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.
147
00:06:34,685 --> 00:06:39,190
- People at court weren't
sure who this man was.
148
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:43,152
Princess Elizabeth was
a perfect princess.
149
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:44,404
She was beautiful.
150
00:06:44,445 --> 00:06:46,155
She was well brought up.
151
00:06:46,155 --> 00:06:47,907
She knew how to behave.
152
00:06:47,949 --> 00:06:50,326
Nobody was quite sure
about Prince Philip.
153
00:06:50,326 --> 00:06:51,536
Who was he?
154
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:53,663
Where were his parents?
155
00:06:53,704 --> 00:06:57,291
(ubeat music)
156
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:59,168
- He always said to me
157
00:06:59,168 --> 00:07:02,922
that he was essentially
Pan-European.
158
00:07:02,964 --> 00:07:05,299
I don't know what he was.
159
00:07:05,341 --> 00:07:08,177
He certainly, he is
categorized as being
160
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:11,973
filled with Greek,
but he doesn't have
161
00:07:12,014 --> 00:07:14,183
any Greek blood in him at all.
162
00:07:14,183 --> 00:07:16,519
- The general
public thought that
163
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,187
Elizabeth and Philip's marriage
164
00:07:18,229 --> 00:07:20,523
was a fairy tale made in Heaven.
165
00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:22,316
Hundreds of thousands
of people gathered
166
00:07:22,358 --> 00:07:25,236
outside the palace gates because
it was the one good event
167
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:27,989
to cap off what had
been, quite frankly,
168
00:07:28,030 --> 00:07:30,032
a dreadful decade.
169
00:07:30,074 --> 00:07:34,078
(dramatic music)
170
00:07:43,087 --> 00:07:45,089
- [Voiceover] Homage and
rejoicing, side by side
171
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,341
with glowing pageantry,
marks Britain's greatest
172
00:07:47,383 --> 00:07:50,219
royal occasion since
the coronation.
173
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:52,221
- The royal wedding
was seen as a, sort of,
174
00:07:52,221 --> 00:07:54,223
new Elizabethan Age.
175
00:07:54,265 --> 00:07:56,559
The country was in
a terrible state.
176
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,395
It was very austere,
right after the war,
177
00:07:59,395 --> 00:08:02,231
and suddenly there's
this beautiful bride,
178
00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:05,485
because Princess Elizabeth
was incredibly beautiful,
179
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:08,237
and this handsome naval officer
180
00:08:08,237 --> 00:08:10,406
were going to carry the country
181
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:12,700
out of the doldrums of war,
182
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:15,661
and present them
with a golden future.
183
00:08:16,787 --> 00:08:19,707
But the feeling was very
much of their wedding,
184
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:22,126
it was like a fairy tale.
185
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:26,422
(dramatic music)
186
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:29,383
- [Voiceover] Before long,
the calls of the people
187
00:08:29,425 --> 00:08:31,427
were answered, as onto
the famous balcony,
188
00:08:31,469 --> 00:08:34,138
came the bride and bridegroom.
189
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:36,265
- The time of the wedding
of Princess Elizabeth
190
00:08:36,307 --> 00:08:39,519
and Prince Philip, his
sisters were not invited,
191
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:42,271
simply because they were Germans
192
00:08:42,271 --> 00:08:46,275
living in Germany
with German husbands,
193
00:08:46,317 --> 00:08:48,277
one of whom was
still going through
194
00:08:48,277 --> 00:08:50,404
the denouncification process.
195
00:08:50,446 --> 00:08:53,449
So, they had to be careful.
196
00:08:53,449 --> 00:08:56,452
- I think the British
public, on the whole,
197
00:08:56,452 --> 00:09:00,623
regarded the marriage
of Prince Philip
198
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:03,417
to the future queen
199
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:05,753
as a welcome blessed relief
200
00:09:05,795 --> 00:09:08,798
from a time of
considerable austerity
201
00:09:08,839 --> 00:09:12,301
and awfulness and there
was more rationing,
202
00:09:12,343 --> 00:09:14,554
paradoxically,
after the war ended
203
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:17,306
than had been during
the war itself.
204
00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:19,308
- [Voiceover] And the
young princess gathering up
205
00:09:19,308 --> 00:09:22,311
her ration coupons
to buy the lace
206
00:09:22,311 --> 00:09:24,188
for her wedding dress.
207
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,566
- You've got this
wonderful romance,
208
00:09:26,607 --> 00:09:29,318
this dashing naval officer
209
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,320
marrying the girl next door
210
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,822
who was everybody's sweetheart,
211
00:09:32,863 --> 00:09:34,824
who was, then, to be our queen.
212
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:37,159
It's strange, that now he's cast
213
00:09:37,201 --> 00:09:39,787
as a cantankerous old
crust and a right-wing,
214
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,706
etcetera, etcetera.
215
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:44,458
When he first sprung
upon an astonished world,
216
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,336
he was regarded as
a dangerous lefty.
217
00:09:47,336 --> 00:09:51,340
- There were a lot of
people in English society
218
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:53,634
and courtiers, in particular,
219
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:56,262
who weren't sure
who this man was.
220
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:58,347
- [Voiceover] Prince
Philip's mediocre rise
221
00:09:58,347 --> 00:09:59,849
in the Royal Navy continued
222
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:03,227
when he was appointed
commander in 1952.
223
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:06,355
- Philip insisted,
after the marriage,
224
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:09,358
that he should pursue
his naval career.
225
00:10:09,358 --> 00:10:12,528
She wanted him, very
much, to do this.
226
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:15,239
The royal family agreed,
227
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:17,867
and so he actually
went off to Malta,
228
00:10:17,908 --> 00:10:19,744
where the British
Navy had, still,
229
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:21,621
a large contingent
in those days.
230
00:10:21,662 --> 00:10:23,289
He was given his own ship.
231
00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:24,874
She went out there,
not as as princess,
232
00:10:24,915 --> 00:10:26,542
but as the captain's wife,
233
00:10:26,542 --> 00:10:29,503
and for the first, and
only, time in her life,
234
00:10:29,545 --> 00:10:31,213
she drove her own car.
235
00:10:31,255 --> 00:10:32,798
She went to hairdressing salons.
236
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,301
She met friends in
cafes for coffee.
237
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:38,638
She had something
resembling an ordinary life,
238
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,223
and it had been
her wish and hope
239
00:10:41,265 --> 00:10:44,143
that that could continue
for several years.
240
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:48,189
(gentle music)
241
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:51,525
- It was obvious that she
meant to enjoy herself.
242
00:10:51,567 --> 00:10:53,194
She had no restrictions.
243
00:10:53,235 --> 00:10:55,321
She could move about
on her own in Malta.
244
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:58,824
It was a (indistinct
speech), you know.
245
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:02,828
I think, officially,
she was the boss,
246
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,582
but, in private life, I think
247
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:10,252
Philip ran the show,
that's my impression, yes.
248
00:11:10,294 --> 00:11:13,422
He seemed to boss her around
most of the time, you know,
249
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:16,258
and I shouldn't say this,
250
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:18,886
but I've heard him swear at her.
251
00:11:18,928 --> 00:11:22,723
(gentle music)
252
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:29,271
(ominous music)
253
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:33,859
- The king's unexpected death
254
00:11:33,901 --> 00:11:35,903
changed everything,
not only for Elizabeth,
255
00:11:35,945 --> 00:11:38,197
but for Philip, too.
256
00:11:38,239 --> 00:11:41,617
(ominous music)
257
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,249
- As a couple, they'd
enjoyed a blissful existence
258
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:51,460
in Malta where the Duke of
Edinburgh was then based,
259
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:54,296
as an officer in the Royal Navy,
260
00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:57,258
and their first
tour, so to speak,
261
00:11:57,299 --> 00:11:59,802
was brought to an abrupt halt
262
00:11:59,802 --> 00:12:02,388
when they heard news
of the king's death.
263
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,724
Where in Kenya, of course,
it was the Duke of Edinburgh
264
00:12:04,765 --> 00:12:06,809
who broke the news to
Princess Elizabeth,
265
00:12:06,809 --> 00:12:09,854
and understandably,
she was devastated.
266
00:12:09,895 --> 00:12:11,480
People were bowing to her,
267
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,357
and she was the new queen,
268
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,985
and for both of them, it
really brought to an abrupt end
269
00:12:16,026 --> 00:12:18,738
what had been as
normal a marriage
270
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:20,489
as possible for a royal couple.
271
00:12:20,489 --> 00:12:22,283
- Prince Phlip is a military
man through and through.
272
00:12:22,324 --> 00:12:24,326
If he hadn't married the queen,
273
00:12:24,368 --> 00:12:26,829
he would have been a highly
successful naval officer,
274
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:29,749
probably would have reached
the rank of admiral.
275
00:12:29,790 --> 00:12:32,752
- [Voiceover] Suddenly, the
queen superseded him entirely,
276
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:34,754
and I think for the
dynamics of the relationship
277
00:12:34,795 --> 00:12:37,298
that was quite
hard to deal with.
278
00:12:37,339 --> 00:12:38,883
- He had the potential of having
279
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:41,385
a very good naval
career ahead of him.
280
00:12:41,427 --> 00:12:43,554
He served with distinction
in the second World War,
281
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:45,014
first in the Meditteranean.
282
00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:47,683
The untimely death of the
queen's father, George VI,
283
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:49,977
meant that Philip had
to hang up his uniform
284
00:12:50,019 --> 00:12:53,272
and be there just two
steps behind the queen.
285
00:12:54,690 --> 00:12:57,026
- And, as anyone who
would know Prince Philip,
286
00:12:57,067 --> 00:12:58,444
would completely understand
287
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:01,030
he likes to earn
everything that he does.
288
00:13:01,071 --> 00:13:02,782
He did not like the idea
289
00:13:02,823 --> 00:13:04,700
of suddenly being appointed
290
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:06,327
admiral of the
fleet, field marshal,
291
00:13:06,368 --> 00:13:07,912
and marshal of the
Royal Air Force,
292
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:10,039
without having done
anything to earn it.
293
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,041
- When Prince Philip
went off on his solo
294
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:14,376
voyage on Britannia,
it was very early
295
00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:15,586
in the marriage, and
people were saying,
296
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:17,046
"Oh, is there trouble
in the marriage?"
297
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:18,964
- There have always been rumors
298
00:13:19,006 --> 00:13:21,550
about Prince Philip and girls.
299
00:13:21,592 --> 00:13:23,427
I remember Prince
Philip saying to me,
300
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:25,429
"If I'd fathered
as many children
301
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,014
"as I was suppose
to have fathered,
302
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:29,308
"I wouldn't have had
time for anything else."
303
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:30,559
- [Voiceover] The thing about
the queen and Prince Philip
304
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,394
is they're very,
very well matched.
305
00:13:32,436 --> 00:13:34,563
I mean, she took on
somebody her own size.
306
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:37,441
- I went to the theater
with them one evening
307
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:39,360
and sat in the
royal box with them,
308
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:42,571
and the interval came, and I
stood at the side of the room
309
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:44,365
with the Duke of Edinburgh,
310
00:13:44,406 --> 00:13:46,325
and he looked across
the crowded room,
311
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:48,035
towards the queen, it
was quite a small room,
312
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,454
and she was surrounded by people
313
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:52,748
meeting her and bowing
and shaking her hand,
314
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,083
and he leaned against the wall,
315
00:13:54,124 --> 00:13:55,709
and he was holding a drink,
316
00:13:55,751 --> 00:13:57,586
and he caught her eye,
317
00:13:57,586 --> 00:13:59,421
and across the crowded room,
318
00:13:59,463 --> 00:14:01,340
as she smiled at him,
319
00:14:01,382 --> 00:14:04,426
he merely lifted his
glass and toasted her.
320
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,346
- I must confess, My Lord Mayor,
321
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,390
that it came as a
bit of a surprise
322
00:14:09,431 --> 00:14:12,977
to realize that we had
been married 25 years.
323
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:16,522
(people laughing)
324
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:20,734
Neither of us are much
given to looking back,
325
00:14:20,776 --> 00:14:24,029
and the years have
slipped by so quickly.
326
00:14:24,071 --> 00:14:27,116
- He always said
that his main job
327
00:14:27,157 --> 00:14:30,035
was to make it possible
for his wife to reign.
328
00:14:30,077 --> 00:14:31,453
- One of the ways
he supports her
329
00:14:31,495 --> 00:14:33,372
is to run all of the
royal estates for her.
330
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:34,748
He's been extremely energetic
331
00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:36,750
at Windsor and Sandringham,
332
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:38,419
Balmoral and so forth.
333
00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:40,087
- [Voiceover] The queen
sees it as her duty
334
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:44,049
to walk at the pace of the
slowest person in the land,
335
00:14:44,091 --> 00:14:48,596
so that nobody in the
country feels left behind.
336
00:14:49,805 --> 00:14:51,515
- So, there is the Duke
of Edinburgh, thrusting,
337
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:53,100
going forward,
trying to do this,
338
00:14:53,142 --> 00:14:54,768
trying to do that,
trying to change this,
339
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:57,479
and there's the
queen, quite steadily,
340
00:14:57,521 --> 00:14:59,148
walking along.
341
00:14:59,189 --> 00:15:00,774
- The queen is
the head of state,
342
00:15:00,816 --> 00:15:02,943
but Prince Philip is the
head of the household.
343
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:04,153
He's the head of the family,
344
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:06,488
so people have to answer to him.
345
00:15:06,530 --> 00:15:08,824
- We have the good fortune
346
00:15:08,866 --> 00:15:11,827
to grow up in happy
and united families.
347
00:15:12,953 --> 00:15:15,831
We have been fortunate
in our children.
348
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:20,085
(light-hearted music)
349
00:15:32,723 --> 00:15:34,808
- [Voiceover] Prince
Philip did always have
350
00:15:34,850 --> 00:15:38,687
an odd upbringing
and an odd childhood.
351
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:41,690
He didn't have any
serious role models,
352
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:43,859
as far as parenting
was concerned.
353
00:15:43,859 --> 00:15:47,154
This later came to be
a bit of a handicap
354
00:15:47,196 --> 00:15:49,198
when it came to bringing
up Prince Charles
355
00:15:49,239 --> 00:15:51,200
and the other royal children.
356
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:54,203
- The Duke of Endinburgh
simply didn't get his son.
357
00:15:54,244 --> 00:15:55,704
He didn't understand.
358
00:15:55,704 --> 00:15:59,083
He had a very difficult
relationship with Charles.
359
00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:01,126
They didn't speak to one another
360
00:16:01,168 --> 00:16:03,087
as normal father and son.
361
00:16:03,128 --> 00:16:04,838
- If he's your father,
362
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,757
it must be quite difficult.
363
00:16:06,799 --> 00:16:08,968
There's no doubt his
relationship with Prince Harry,
364
00:16:09,009 --> 00:16:12,221
Prince William, his grandsons,
they find him helpful
365
00:16:12,262 --> 00:16:14,223
and caring which is
not the impression
366
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:16,475
you get with his own sons.
367
00:16:16,517 --> 00:16:18,644
- Maybe he always
found Prince Charles
368
00:16:18,686 --> 00:16:21,522
slightly exasperating,
and the fact
369
00:16:21,563 --> 00:16:23,732
that he wasn't able
to make more of a go
370
00:16:23,732 --> 00:16:26,110
of his marriage
to Princess Diana
371
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,071
was at least as
much his son's fault
372
00:16:29,071 --> 00:16:31,198
as his daughter-in-law's.
373
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,741
- I think the queen, herself,
374
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:34,201
will be the first to
admit Prince Philip
375
00:16:34,243 --> 00:16:36,203
isn't somebody who
minces his words.
376
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:37,871
He's got an opinion
on everything,
377
00:16:37,913 --> 00:16:39,498
and he doesn't
mind expressing it.
378
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:41,166
- That's just his style,
379
00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:42,751
because he doesn't
do small talk,
380
00:16:42,751 --> 00:16:44,211
and he doesn't suffer fools,
381
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:47,089
and he likes having
scientific conversations.
382
00:16:47,089 --> 00:16:49,925
He likes having
deep conversations.
383
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:52,011
- I've always found
him incredibly funny.
384
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:53,595
I've met him a
number of occasions.
385
00:16:53,637 --> 00:16:55,264
I found him quite sympathetic
386
00:16:55,305 --> 00:16:58,892
and extremely erudite
and very clever person.
387
00:16:58,934 --> 00:17:01,270
He's very interested in
new technology, new ideas.
388
00:17:01,311 --> 00:17:04,189
- I mean, can you get
radio through here?
389
00:17:04,231 --> 00:17:06,108
(crowd laughing)
390
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:09,111
- He's very funny.
391
00:17:09,111 --> 00:17:12,281
Very outspoken, says
exactly what he thinks.
392
00:17:12,322 --> 00:17:14,158
- If you're Prince
Philip, you feel obliged,
393
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:16,160
somehow, to break the ice,
394
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,078
and for 60 years,
he's been going down
395
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:19,663
receiving lines, shaking hands
396
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:21,665
and, as he's said to me himself,
397
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,625
trying to make people laugh.
398
00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:26,628
And he does that
with a merry quip.
399
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:28,630
And just once in a while,
400
00:17:28,672 --> 00:17:30,632
it goes awry.
401
00:17:30,674 --> 00:17:32,301
- Outside the railway station,
402
00:17:32,342 --> 00:17:34,636
he met somebody, and he said,
403
00:17:34,678 --> 00:17:36,055
"Where are you from?",
404
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:38,807
and he said, "Swansea, sir."
405
00:17:38,807 --> 00:17:41,310
And Prince Philip said,
"You're a long way from home.",
406
00:17:41,351 --> 00:17:43,187
and the headline
the next morning,
407
00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:45,606
in the local newspaper was,
408
00:17:45,647 --> 00:17:48,150
"Prince Philip and
the Saltz Welshman".
409
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:51,653
- He suggested to a chef
that was collecting an award
410
00:17:51,695 --> 00:17:53,822
that it was no wonder
he was a good chef
411
00:17:53,822 --> 00:17:55,699
because he was certainly
the size for it,
412
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,201
and this man was enormous,
413
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,661
and wasn't offended at all,
thought it was hilarious.
414
00:17:59,703 --> 00:18:01,121
- Well, I think
Prince Philip actually
415
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:03,207
gets a bit of a raw deal
in the way he's presented.
416
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:05,709
He's seen as this
gruff chararcter
417
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:09,129
that makes comments
that he shouldn't say.
418
00:18:09,171 --> 00:18:12,216
- This scheme is not a cure,
419
00:18:12,257 --> 00:18:15,010
it's a preventative.
420
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:17,304
Once you've got a
soccer hooligan,
421
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:19,098
you've got a soccer hooligan,
422
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:20,349
and somebody else
is gonna have to
423
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:22,184
try and cure him of that.
424
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,019
The purpose of the
scheme basically
425
00:18:24,061 --> 00:18:25,687
to try to catch
people while they
426
00:18:25,729 --> 00:18:28,273
are moderately civilized
and then keep them that way.
427
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:30,109
- From the Duke of
Edinburgh's point of view,
428
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:31,860
he'll suggest that
he's only saying
429
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,237
what other people think,
430
00:18:33,278 --> 00:18:35,197
and the slitty-eyed comment,
431
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:36,865
or even to the aborigines,
432
00:18:36,907 --> 00:18:39,034
"Do you still throw
spears at each other?",
433
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:41,995
might be a question others
might wanted to have asked.
434
00:18:42,037 --> 00:18:45,791
- I'm frequently accused
of meddling in affairs
435
00:18:45,833 --> 00:18:48,710
that have no concern,
or no concern of mine.
436
00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:51,797
I'm always told I
mustn't take sides.
437
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,215
(audience laughs)
438
00:18:53,215 --> 00:18:55,217
And unlike, not brother-in-law,
439
00:18:55,217 --> 00:18:57,177
but another chap I mean,
440
00:18:57,219 --> 00:18:58,053
(audience laughs)
441
00:18:58,095 --> 00:19:00,305
I don't even get onto
the electoral roll.
442
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:04,143
(audience laughing)
443
00:19:04,184 --> 00:19:07,896
And the fact, to use a currently
okay word of the press,
444
00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:10,190
I must not be controversial.
445
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:14,278
- It's terribly
easy for journalists
446
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,281
to latch on to an
alleged failing.
447
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,741
I think he's been
rather unfairly treated.
448
00:19:19,783 --> 00:19:23,245
- I've discussed Prince Philip's
gaffes with him, endlessly,
449
00:19:23,245 --> 00:19:25,164
and he finds it quite depressing
450
00:19:25,205 --> 00:19:28,167
that they are constantly
being reported,
451
00:19:28,208 --> 00:19:30,169
as he says, he sighs sometimes
452
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:31,920
when he goes on a foreign trip
453
00:19:31,962 --> 00:19:33,422
to find there will
be reporters there
454
00:19:33,463 --> 00:19:35,799
because he knows all
their really waiting for
455
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:37,342
is another gaffe.
456
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:39,970
- And I think most of us,
with a great deal of sympathy,
457
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:42,931
for those of you who have
got to, at the sharp end,
458
00:19:42,931 --> 00:19:46,977
who are trying to do your
best to make life civilized
459
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,188
and tolerable for the locals.
460
00:19:49,229 --> 00:19:50,981
- He's a straight-forward,
old-fashioned,
461
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:54,693
military officer that
doesn't suffer fools gladly.
462
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:58,238
He suffers from foot-in-mouth
disease, sometimes,
463
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,283
and makes comments that,
maybe, he shouldn't.
464
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:04,453
- Totally useless for a
lot of well meaning people
465
00:20:04,494 --> 00:20:07,706
to wring their
hands in conference
466
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:10,125
and to point out the
dangers of pollution
467
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:12,211
or destruction of the
country's countryside,
468
00:20:12,252 --> 00:20:16,381
if no one is willing or
capable of taking any action.
469
00:20:16,423 --> 00:20:18,467
- [Voiceover] But,
the truth of it is,
470
00:20:18,508 --> 00:20:20,135
he comes from a different age.
471
00:20:20,135 --> 00:20:22,012
- He's just a man
of his generation
472
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,847
who says what he thinks,
473
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:25,390
and sometimes people
don't like it.
474
00:20:25,432 --> 00:20:27,976
- Impassioned speeches
will be so much
475
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:30,145
effluent under the bridge,
476
00:20:30,145 --> 00:20:33,774
unless it is followed by
drastic political action.
477
00:20:36,276 --> 00:20:39,238
Time is fast running out,
478
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,989
and it remains to be seen
479
00:20:40,989 --> 00:20:43,492
whether those in
political authority
480
00:20:43,533 --> 00:20:46,245
can shoulder their
responsibilities
481
00:20:46,286 --> 00:20:49,414
in time and act quickly enough
482
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:53,001
to relieve a
situation which grows
483
00:20:53,001 --> 00:20:55,254
more serious every day.
484
00:20:55,295 --> 00:20:58,507
(applause)
485
00:20:58,548 --> 00:21:01,260
- I think the reality
is, a lot of the time,
486
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:04,304
that time hasn't changed him,
487
00:21:04,346 --> 00:21:06,473
age certainly
hasn't changed him,
488
00:21:06,515 --> 00:21:08,183
and, in fact, if anything else,
489
00:21:08,183 --> 00:21:09,768
he's probably become,
what we know in Britain
490
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,520
as a grumpy old man.
491
00:21:11,561 --> 00:21:13,272
- [Voiceover] Despite
his advancing years,
492
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:16,066
Prince Philip is still
known for his tireless work
493
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:17,859
to support the queen,
494
00:21:17,901 --> 00:21:20,195
and his youthful
attitude, which allows him
495
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:23,782
to bridge an age gap
of more than 70 years.
496
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:25,450
- [Voiceover] So,
how would you sum up
497
00:21:25,492 --> 00:21:28,036
the eye-den-tu-kit young
person you might meet,
498
00:21:28,078 --> 00:21:30,163
are they enthusiastic,
are they lazy,
499
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:31,456
are they inquiring--
500
00:21:31,498 --> 00:21:33,208
- They're some of all.
501
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:35,294
I don't even want to
generalize about young people,
502
00:21:35,335 --> 00:21:36,545
very dangerous.
503
00:21:36,586 --> 00:21:38,046
- [Voiceover] There's
no sense you have
504
00:21:38,046 --> 00:21:40,340
about less willing to
take risks nowadays--
505
00:21:40,382 --> 00:21:42,884
- There's a great
danger about making
506
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:45,053
generalizing about young people
507
00:21:45,053 --> 00:21:46,388
because you can find somebody
508
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,181
who's the exception,
or not just somebody,
509
00:21:48,223 --> 00:21:50,559
but a whole group of
them, who are exceptions.
510
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,228
I think what happens is that
511
00:21:53,228 --> 00:21:55,063
when a group of young people
512
00:21:55,063 --> 00:21:56,440
like binge drinkers appear,
513
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:58,108
everyone's, "Oh, my God, the
young people are terrible,
514
00:21:58,150 --> 00:21:59,568
"they've all become
binge drinkers."
515
00:21:59,609 --> 00:22:02,112
Well, they haven't,
it's that one group
516
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:06,074
who were mods and rockers,
a few generations,
517
00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:07,576
you're probably one yourself.
518
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:09,202
I mean people go through--
519
00:22:09,244 --> 00:22:10,579
- [Voiceover] Do
I look like one?
520
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:11,913
(laughing)
521
00:22:11,955 --> 00:22:13,248
- Well, you know,
you never know.
522
00:22:13,290 --> 00:22:14,166
People become quite
civilized when they grow up.
523
00:22:14,207 --> 00:22:16,084
- What's very interesting
about the queen
524
00:22:16,084 --> 00:22:17,252
and the Duke of Edinburgh
525
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:19,254
is they are very
consistent people.
526
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,590
What you see is what you get.
527
00:22:21,631 --> 00:22:23,133
They're not performers.
528
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:25,093
- And for the queen
herself, when you consider
529
00:22:25,093 --> 00:22:27,220
that she's surrounded
by a lot of lackies
530
00:22:27,262 --> 00:22:28,847
and perhaps a lot of yes men,
531
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:30,223
actually having
a man in her life
532
00:22:30,265 --> 00:22:33,435
to tell her what he
thinks of what she's doing
533
00:22:33,435 --> 00:22:35,937
is probably a refreshing change.
534
00:22:35,979 --> 00:22:37,522
- [Voiceover] Prince
Philip's personal thoughts
535
00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:41,443
on his family and on half
a century of marriage.
536
00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:44,488
- It's been a challenge for us,
537
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:47,366
but by trial and experience,
I believe we have achieved
538
00:22:47,407 --> 00:22:49,951
a sensible division of labor
539
00:22:49,993 --> 00:22:52,037
and a good balance
between our individual
540
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,373
and joint interests.
541
00:22:54,414 --> 00:22:57,292
Of course, after 50
years of experience,
542
00:22:57,292 --> 00:23:00,629
I find there's a great
temptation to give advice.
543
00:23:00,670 --> 00:23:04,299
(audience laughing)
544
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:08,053
The trouble is that no too
marriages are quite alike.
545
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:10,889
However, I think that the
main lesson that we've learned
546
00:23:10,931 --> 00:23:14,267
is that tolerance is the
one essential ingredient
547
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:16,311
of any happy marriage.
548
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,146
It may not be quite so important
549
00:23:18,146 --> 00:23:20,273
when things are going well,
550
00:23:20,315 --> 00:23:23,527
but it is absolutely vital
when things get difficult.
551
00:23:23,568 --> 00:23:26,154
- There's been documented
rows that have taken place
552
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:28,031
between the queen
and Prince Philip.
553
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:30,450
I think he once suggested
554
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:33,203
that she wasn't driving well
or that he wasn't driving well
555
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:36,456
and he said that she should
get out of the car and walk.
556
00:23:36,498 --> 00:23:38,166
I think there's been
the kind of rows
557
00:23:38,208 --> 00:23:39,584
that you would
expect after 60 years
558
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:42,003
of marriage in any couple.
559
00:23:42,045 --> 00:23:43,964
- All to often, I
fear, Prince Philip
560
00:23:44,005 --> 00:23:46,174
has had to listen
to me speaking.
561
00:23:46,174 --> 00:23:48,468
(audience laughing)
562
00:23:48,510 --> 00:23:52,097
He is someone who doesn't
take easily to compliments,
563
00:23:52,139 --> 00:23:54,933
but he has, quite
simply, been my strength
564
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:58,311
and stay all these years.
565
00:23:58,353 --> 00:24:01,440
- Contrary to an awful lot
of people's predictions,
566
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:04,109
the monarchy appears
to be as strong
567
00:24:04,151 --> 00:24:06,361
as it has ever been,
and I think that has
568
00:24:06,403 --> 00:24:08,530
an awful lot to do
with Prince Philip.
569
00:24:08,530 --> 00:24:10,365
I think, without him, maybe
570
00:24:10,407 --> 00:24:13,326
the institution might
have failed altogether.
571
00:24:13,368 --> 00:24:17,205
(dramatic music)
572
00:24:20,750 --> 00:24:25,088
(crowd cheering)
573
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,466
- [Voiceover] The Prince
of Wales is heir apparent
574
00:24:27,507 --> 00:24:31,219
to the throne, the first
in line to become king,
575
00:24:31,219 --> 00:24:32,679
even though he will
probably be among
576
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:35,432
the eldest princes
ever to become king.
577
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,394
- If the queen lives
as long as her mother,
578
00:24:39,436 --> 00:24:42,105
Prince Charles won't
come to the throne
579
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,232
until he's 77.
580
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:47,068
- [Voiceover] An
extraordinary Monday morning,
581
00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:50,155
and the nation
prepares to celebrate.
582
00:24:50,197 --> 00:24:53,408
- [Voiceover] Prince Charles
was born at Buckingham Palace,
583
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:56,995
on the 14th of November 1948.
584
00:24:58,413 --> 00:25:01,500
- He was take away from her
when he was only 10 days old
585
00:25:01,541 --> 00:25:04,252
because she developed measles,
586
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:06,004
after giving birth to Charles,
587
00:25:06,046 --> 00:25:08,757
and in that crucial
kind of bonding period,
588
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:10,717
between mother and child,
589
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:13,178
they didn't have that.
590
00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:14,721
- [Voiceover] Following
Queen Elizabeth's succession
591
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:17,682
to the throne in
1952, he became both
592
00:25:17,724 --> 00:25:21,061
heir apparent and
Duke of Cornwall.
593
00:25:21,102 --> 00:25:23,146
- He was, then, very
largely looked after
594
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,774
by nannies, and the
queen had a nanny
595
00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:28,276
who, frankly, terrified her.
596
00:25:28,276 --> 00:25:29,611
She was called Helen Lightbody,
597
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:32,322
and she was a dragon,
598
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:35,033
and the queen
really didn't enjoy
599
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:37,160
going into the nursery.
600
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:39,538
So, that was another
factor that kept the queen
601
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:41,748
away from Charles.
602
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:44,292
So, Charles grew
up really bonding
603
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:47,295
much more closely
with his grandmother,
604
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:50,674
the Queen Mother, than
ever with his mother.
605
00:25:50,715 --> 00:25:53,426
- She was, quite simply,
606
00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:56,346
the most magical
607
00:25:56,388 --> 00:26:00,141
grandmother you
could possibly have,
608
00:26:00,183 --> 00:26:03,144
and I was utterly
devoted to her.
609
00:26:03,186 --> 00:26:05,814
(solemn music)
610
00:26:05,855 --> 00:26:08,233
- [Voiceover] Consigned
to the care of his nanny,
611
00:26:08,275 --> 00:26:10,318
he became more introspective,
612
00:26:10,318 --> 00:26:12,487
welcoming his mother
back with a handshake
613
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:14,739
rather than a hug.
614
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:17,576
- When the queen came
back from that long tour,
615
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:20,245
and got of the train
at Paddington Station,
616
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:23,331
and her son, who's
been dying to see her,
617
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:25,125
came up to her,
she didn't kiss him
618
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:26,334
or put her arms around him.
619
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:28,336
She shook his hand.
620
00:26:28,336 --> 00:26:29,504
What does that say?
621
00:26:29,504 --> 00:26:32,465
That says, "Where's my mummy?"
622
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:35,802
(solemn music)
623
00:26:35,844 --> 00:26:38,638
- Charles grew up always
wanting to please his father,
624
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,849
always wanting his
father's approval,
625
00:26:40,890 --> 00:26:43,476
and never quite
managing to get it.
626
00:26:43,518 --> 00:26:45,687
The Duke of Edinburgh
simply didn't get his son.
627
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:47,480
He didn't understand.
628
00:26:47,522 --> 00:26:49,232
He didn't think
boy's should cry.
629
00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:51,276
It was always a stiff upper lip,
630
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:53,194
and manage your emotions,
631
00:26:53,236 --> 00:26:55,196
and Charles didn't do that.
632
00:26:55,238 --> 00:26:57,365
- [Voiceover] In
1958, Prince Charles
633
00:26:57,365 --> 00:27:00,368
became the first Prince
of Wales since 1936,
634
00:27:00,368 --> 00:27:03,371
after the abdication
of King Edward VIII
635
00:27:03,371 --> 00:27:05,498
to marry Wallace Simpson.
636
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:08,126
- [Voiceover] Now Jeff Shirley
reporting on Gordonstoun
637
00:27:08,168 --> 00:27:09,794
as Prince Charles
arrives with his father
638
00:27:09,836 --> 00:27:13,214
the school's most
famous old boy.
639
00:27:13,256 --> 00:27:15,300
- He'd been sent away
to school in Scotland
640
00:27:15,342 --> 00:27:16,384
which he hated.
641
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:19,220
He was lonely, he
was bullied there.
642
00:27:19,262 --> 00:27:20,722
- [Voiceover] He would have
been much happier somewhere
643
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:22,766
like Eton where he would
have been close to his family
644
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:25,268
and close to his
grandmother, particularly.
645
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,228
- [Voiceover] He had
a miserable time,
646
00:27:27,270 --> 00:27:30,523
miles away from everything
that was familiar to him.
647
00:27:30,565 --> 00:27:32,776
- But, the general
concept was that actually
648
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:34,402
the press, on a
whole, didn't really
649
00:27:34,402 --> 00:27:35,737
know where Gordonstoun was,
650
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:37,405
and probably in their
minds would have had to
651
00:27:37,405 --> 00:27:39,407
clamber over
mountains of heather
652
00:27:39,407 --> 00:27:41,868
in order to find this place.
653
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:44,287
- If you're going to sent
someone to Gordonstoun,
654
00:27:44,329 --> 00:27:47,332
like Prince Charles, it's
gonna have an impact on him,
655
00:27:47,374 --> 00:27:49,709
whereas, for Prince
Philip, fantastic,
656
00:27:49,751 --> 00:27:52,879
absolutely loved every
minute of the Spartan
657
00:27:52,921 --> 00:27:57,175
the way that the system
was arranged by Kurt Hahn,
658
00:27:57,217 --> 00:28:00,178
and he loved the
whole philosophy.
659
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:03,765
(solemn music)
660
00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:08,895
- Charles grew up a
very insecure boy,
661
00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:11,564
who turned into an insecure man.
662
00:28:11,606 --> 00:28:14,609
He doesn't have a
lot of confidence,
663
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:18,613
and Lord Mauntbatten, who
was the queen's uncle,
664
00:28:18,655 --> 00:28:23,201
recognized that Charles was
slightly adrift as a teenager.
665
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:26,496
He was not a happy child,
666
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:29,249
and Mauntbatten took
him under his wing
667
00:28:29,290 --> 00:28:32,293
and started to prepare
him for the future,
668
00:28:32,335 --> 00:28:35,463
and to give him some confidence,
669
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:37,716
and to make him feel valued.
670
00:28:37,757 --> 00:28:41,469
(solemn music)
671
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:44,973
- Prince Charles gave quite
a number of interviews,
672
00:28:45,014 --> 00:28:46,850
and we had never heard
him speak before,
673
00:28:46,891 --> 00:28:50,729
and he showed a very engaging,
kind of, rather dry humor,
674
00:28:50,770 --> 00:28:53,857
and I think it literally
changed his image overnight,
675
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:56,317
from this, rather, sort
of uncomfortable boy
676
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,737
with jug ears with his
hands behind his back
677
00:28:58,778 --> 00:28:59,988
trying to imitate his father,
678
00:29:00,029 --> 00:29:02,323
into a sort of, rather,
delightful, whimsical
679
00:29:02,365 --> 00:29:04,534
character of his own.
680
00:29:04,576 --> 00:29:05,869
- I do believe I have it.
681
00:29:05,910 --> 00:29:06,995
I have a bite.
682
00:29:06,995 --> 00:29:10,415
I'm letting out a little
slack now, a little slack now.
683
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:12,667
Yes, taking up the string.
684
00:29:12,709 --> 00:29:13,835
Taking up the string.
685
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:15,003
This is most exciting,
686
00:29:15,044 --> 00:29:16,004
most exciting ladies
and gentlemen.
687
00:29:16,004 --> 00:29:17,922
I've never seen anything
quite like it before.
688
00:29:17,964 --> 00:29:19,841
I think got quite
a large one here.
689
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:23,303
It's very, very
large indeed--(yells)
690
00:29:23,344 --> 00:29:25,346
- [Voiceover] Charles comes
forward to be invested
691
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:27,932
with the name, style,
dignity, and honor
692
00:29:27,974 --> 00:29:31,019
of Prince of Wales
and Earl of Chester.
693
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:33,271
The sword for his earldom.
694
00:29:33,313 --> 00:29:37,025
(choir singing)
695
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:40,653
- [Voiceover] The
investiture of Prince Charles
696
00:29:40,695 --> 00:29:43,364
was a state occasion
before the Welsh people
697
00:29:43,406 --> 00:29:46,951
at Caernarfon Castle on
the 1st of July 1969.
698
00:29:48,328 --> 00:29:51,664
- [Prince Charles] I
Charles, Prince of Wales,
699
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:55,376
do become your liege
man of life and limb
700
00:29:55,418 --> 00:29:57,587
and of earthly worship,
701
00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:00,381
and faith and truth
I will vow unto thee
702
00:30:00,423 --> 00:30:03,968
to live and die against
all manner of folks.
703
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:07,472
- [Voiceover] The acts
of investiture, homage,
704
00:30:07,514 --> 00:30:10,016
and fealty are complete.
705
00:30:10,058 --> 00:30:12,727
- [Voiceover] Despite being
criticized by the radical
706
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:15,855
and anarchist elements
of the swinging sixties.
707
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:17,941
Charles spent many
months in Wales,
708
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:20,401
trying to win over his critics.
709
00:30:20,443 --> 00:30:21,611
- [Voiceover] I believe
you were stopped
710
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:23,029
in the streets not
too very long ago
711
00:30:23,071 --> 00:30:24,823
by group of anarchists
students of Mr. Peter Dawson,
712
00:30:24,864 --> 00:30:27,826
who said, "The rich
Duke of Cornwall
713
00:30:27,867 --> 00:30:30,411
"should give away all
his land and money."
714
00:30:30,453 --> 00:30:32,705
How do you react to
that sort of thing?
715
00:30:32,747 --> 00:30:35,583
- You're very well informed,
I must say. (laughs)
716
00:30:35,625 --> 00:30:38,586
How do I react to
that sort of thing?
717
00:30:38,586 --> 00:30:40,713
Well,
718
00:30:40,755 --> 00:30:43,007
I suppose I try and look upon it
719
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:44,968
with a certain
amount of sympathy.
720
00:30:45,009 --> 00:30:47,428
I mean, I think it's
wrong to just, you know,
721
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:50,056
say, "You're wrong, therefore,
722
00:30:50,098 --> 00:30:52,350
"I don't want to listen to you."
723
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:53,768
I try understand what
they're getting act
724
00:30:53,768 --> 00:30:55,645
and why they're getting at it.
725
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:59,440
(upbeat music)
726
00:30:59,482 --> 00:31:02,110
- [Voiceover] During the
1970s, Prince Charles
727
00:31:02,151 --> 00:31:04,070
became known as a playboy
728
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:07,365
for his liaisons with
beautiful and eligible women,
729
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:10,618
and his easy charm with
music and movie stars.
730
00:31:10,618 --> 00:31:14,581
(upbeat music)
731
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,458
- [Voiceover] Prince
Charles was really seen
732
00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:20,920
as a bit of an action man,
and having had a string
733
00:31:20,962 --> 00:31:22,797
of beautiful girlfriends.
734
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:25,800
And he had quite a long
period of bachelorhood
735
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,094
where he couldn't seem to
settle down, and it was actually
736
00:31:28,136 --> 00:31:30,889
attracting the wrong
kind of headlines.
737
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,056
Was he a playboy prince?
738
00:31:32,098 --> 00:31:33,892
Was he not able
to make decisions?
739
00:31:33,933 --> 00:31:36,019
Was he not able to connect?
740
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:39,439
(upbeat music)
741
00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:43,109
- There was always
a great fascination,
742
00:31:43,151 --> 00:31:46,821
I suppose inevitably, in
Prince Charles' girlfriends.
743
00:31:46,863 --> 00:31:49,032
- And every time Prince
Charles went out with somebody,
744
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:52,452
the press screamed, "He's
gonna marry her, is this it?"
745
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:54,662
- Because everybody
knew she would be
746
00:31:54,662 --> 00:31:58,041
Princess of Wales, and
one day would be queen,
747
00:31:58,082 --> 00:32:01,127
if he chose to marry one
of these young ladies.
748
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:03,421
- [Voiceover] The obsession
with Prince Charles' girlfriends
749
00:32:03,463 --> 00:32:06,466
became a frenzy when
a quiet, demur girl
750
00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:10,511
named Diana Spencer came
onto the scene in 1980.
751
00:32:10,553 --> 00:32:13,097
- I'm old enough to remember
working on a newspaper
752
00:32:13,139 --> 00:32:15,183
and going one
evening to a theater
753
00:32:15,224 --> 00:32:18,686
where Prince Charles
had taken a young lady.
754
00:32:18,686 --> 00:32:20,521
- Suddenly, this
beautiful young girl
755
00:32:20,563 --> 00:32:22,148
came into this life,
and it really improved
756
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:24,108
his PR enormously.
757
00:32:24,150 --> 00:32:27,695
- Everybody loved Diana when
they first encountered her.
758
00:32:27,737 --> 00:32:30,698
When she went up to
Balmoral, that first time,
759
00:32:30,698 --> 00:32:32,992
the queen and the Duke
of Edinburgh were there,
760
00:32:33,034 --> 00:32:35,495
many members of the
family were there,
761
00:32:35,536 --> 00:32:37,997
plus friends, and
they all thought Diana
762
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:40,208
was absolutely magic.
763
00:32:40,249 --> 00:32:42,877
- Although she had some royal
connections in her family,
764
00:32:42,877 --> 00:32:45,630
she wasn't the usual
type of girlfriend
765
00:32:45,672 --> 00:32:50,093
that I remember Prince Charles
accompanying to places.
766
00:32:50,134 --> 00:32:53,471
- That marriage came
about in a strange way.
767
00:32:53,513 --> 00:32:56,140
It came about
through granny power.
768
00:32:56,182 --> 00:32:58,059
His grandmother,
the Queen Mother,
769
00:32:58,059 --> 00:33:00,853
and her grandmother, Lady
Fermoy, got together,
770
00:33:00,895 --> 00:33:04,190
and they agreed that
whoever Charles married
771
00:33:04,232 --> 00:33:06,150
would have to be a virgin,
772
00:33:06,192 --> 00:33:08,987
and Lady Fermoy assured
the Queen Mother,
773
00:33:09,028 --> 00:33:13,116
that Diana was a virgin,
so the Queen Mother said,
774
00:33:13,157 --> 00:33:15,243
"Then that's the one."
775
00:33:15,284 --> 00:33:17,787
- The problem for Diana Spencer
776
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:20,623
and what she really
fell victim to
777
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:23,167
was a time warp.
778
00:33:23,209 --> 00:33:26,879
We all like the idea
of the royal family
779
00:33:26,921 --> 00:33:28,881
being like everybody else,
780
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:31,217
but if they get too
like everybody else,
781
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:33,261
then what's special about them?
782
00:33:33,302 --> 00:33:36,264
By the 1970s,
783
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:39,517
when Diana Spencer
appeared on the scene,
784
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:41,769
most people couldn't care less,
785
00:33:41,769 --> 00:33:43,938
whether the bride
walking up the aisle
786
00:33:43,938 --> 00:33:46,774
was a virgin or not,
in ordinary life,
787
00:33:46,774 --> 00:33:48,693
but when it came to
the royal family,
788
00:33:48,735 --> 00:33:52,196
we still expected this
old-fashioned view.
789
00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:53,823
She was a virgin.
790
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:56,159
This made her a very
prime candidate.
791
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,953
- [Voiceover] Following
their fairytale romance,
792
00:33:58,995 --> 00:34:01,914
the Prince of Wales
married Lady Diana Spencer
793
00:34:01,956 --> 00:34:05,043
on the 29th of July, 1981,
794
00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:06,961
in Saint Paul's Cathedral,
795
00:34:06,961 --> 00:34:09,172
and Diana became
Her Royal Highness
796
00:34:09,213 --> 00:34:11,174
The Princess of Wales.
797
00:34:11,215 --> 00:34:13,092
- Both the queen and
the Duke of Edinburgh
798
00:34:13,134 --> 00:34:15,136
were delighted, I
think, at the prospect
799
00:34:15,136 --> 00:34:18,181
of Diana marrying Prince
Charles, when it happened.
800
00:34:18,222 --> 00:34:20,308
She was a beautiful,
charming, delightful,
801
00:34:20,349 --> 00:34:23,102
innocent young
girl, and they had
802
00:34:23,144 --> 00:34:24,937
high hopes for the relationship.
803
00:34:24,979 --> 00:34:28,191
- I thought the engagement
interview was terribly sad.
804
00:34:28,232 --> 00:34:31,736
When asked whether Diana
was in love with Charles,
805
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:34,238
she immediately
said, "Of course.",
806
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,657
and he said, "Whatever love is."
807
00:34:36,699 --> 00:34:39,869
- I'm amazed that
she's been brave enough
808
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:42,080
to take me on. (Diana laughs)
809
00:34:42,121 --> 00:34:43,289
- [Voiceover] Diana,
I suppose in love?
810
00:34:43,331 --> 00:34:45,666
- Of course.
811
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:48,086
- Whatever in love means.
- [Diana] Yes.
812
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:50,254
- It must have
hurt her enormously
813
00:34:50,296 --> 00:34:52,673
when he said that
814
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:56,094
because what would
our wives had said
815
00:34:56,135 --> 00:34:59,764
if we'd said on the day of
our engagement, publicly,
816
00:34:59,806 --> 00:35:02,183
that whatever love is.
817
00:35:02,183 --> 00:35:05,228
(solemn music)
818
00:35:05,269 --> 00:35:08,189
He was sending a
message to Camilla,
819
00:35:09,899 --> 00:35:12,652
- But poor Camilla's problem
820
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:15,196
was sort of catch 22,
821
00:35:15,196 --> 00:35:17,198
When she met Prince Charles,
822
00:35:17,198 --> 00:35:19,242
she fell in love, they
went to bed together,
823
00:35:19,283 --> 00:35:22,161
but that, sort of,
automatically ruled her out
824
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:24,997
as a future queen.
825
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:27,125
- [Voiceover] Prince Charles
and Diana Princess of Wales
826
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:29,377
had two sons, Prince William,
827
00:35:29,418 --> 00:35:32,130
born on the 21st June 1982,
828
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:34,132
and Prince Harry,
829
00:35:34,173 --> 00:35:37,677
born on the 15th
of September 1984.
830
00:35:37,718 --> 00:35:40,721
The cracks in the relationship
of Charles and Diana
831
00:35:40,763 --> 00:35:43,641
began to appear
in the late 1980s.
832
00:35:43,683 --> 00:35:46,227
- She was troubled
because of her childhood.
833
00:35:46,227 --> 00:35:50,064
At the time, Charles didn't
know what the problem was.
834
00:35:50,064 --> 00:35:53,901
She lived in kind
of a romantic world.
835
00:35:53,901 --> 00:35:57,697
She read Barbara
Cartland romantic novels,
836
00:35:57,738 --> 00:36:01,409
and I suspect that
she simply thought
837
00:36:01,450 --> 00:36:04,162
royal life would
be like something
838
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:06,080
out of a romantic novel,
839
00:36:06,122 --> 00:36:08,207
and she had no support system,
840
00:36:08,249 --> 00:36:10,084
no family of around her.
841
00:36:10,084 --> 00:36:13,171
- That's what went wrong more
than anything with Diana.
842
00:36:13,212 --> 00:36:15,756
Nobody tells you
anything at all.
843
00:36:15,798 --> 00:36:18,176
One of the astonishing successes
844
00:36:18,217 --> 00:36:21,804
that Prince Philip has been
and has made of his life
845
00:36:21,846 --> 00:36:24,265
is that nobody told him either,
846
00:36:24,265 --> 00:36:27,935
he instinctively
knew how to behave.
847
00:36:27,935 --> 00:36:31,314
Other interlopers aren't told,
848
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:33,774
and I think that was ultimately
849
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:36,694
the great tragedy
of Princess Diana.
850
00:36:36,736 --> 00:36:39,822
- Charles simply didn't
know what on earth to do.
851
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:41,240
He didn't know how to help.
852
00:36:41,282 --> 00:36:43,743
He thought that
it was his fault.
853
00:36:43,784 --> 00:36:46,204
He gave up the
friends that Diana
854
00:36:46,245 --> 00:36:47,830
said she didn't like,
855
00:36:47,872 --> 00:36:49,957
got rid of staff
that she didn't like,
856
00:36:49,957 --> 00:36:52,793
did everything that
he possibly could
857
00:36:52,835 --> 00:36:55,254
to make her happy.
858
00:36:55,296 --> 00:36:56,964
He couldn't make her happy,
859
00:36:56,964 --> 00:36:58,799
nothing could make her happy.
860
00:36:58,841 --> 00:37:00,843
She feed herself, emotionally,
861
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:03,804
on the adoration of strangers.
862
00:37:03,846 --> 00:37:08,100
And this caused a huge
problem with Charles
863
00:37:08,142 --> 00:37:12,104
because, rather than
being a support to him,
864
00:37:12,146 --> 00:37:14,232
she out-shown him.
865
00:37:14,273 --> 00:37:15,816
He would make speeches,
866
00:37:15,858 --> 00:37:18,152
and the press
ignored his speeches,
867
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:20,863
and they talked about
Diana's hairstyle
868
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:23,157
or her clothes, and
could she, perhaps,
869
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:24,825
be pregnant again?
870
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:28,120
Charles found that
incredibly frustrating.
871
00:37:28,162 --> 00:37:30,122
- The queen was
immensely distressed
872
00:37:30,164 --> 00:37:33,125
by what was happening
in the marriage
873
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:36,462
of Charles and Diana
for a number of reasons,
874
00:37:36,504 --> 00:37:39,924
but particularly to the
happiness of the couple
875
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:44,178
and their ability to be
parents to William and Harry
876
00:37:44,178 --> 00:37:47,265
whom she loved dearly
as a grandmother,
877
00:37:47,306 --> 00:37:51,185
but also who represented the
future of the royal family.
878
00:37:51,227 --> 00:37:55,189
- The queen is very
aware of current trends.
879
00:37:55,189 --> 00:37:57,942
She lives in the world
like the rest of us.
880
00:37:57,984 --> 00:38:01,195
She's not remote in
some castle some where,
881
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:04,865
and she knew that if
Diana was that unhappy
882
00:38:04,907 --> 00:38:07,451
that the marriage really
would have no future.
883
00:38:07,493 --> 00:38:09,870
- Nobody sees the queen
without an appointment,
884
00:38:09,912 --> 00:38:12,498
but Diana use to wait
in the page's vestibule
885
00:38:12,540 --> 00:38:16,043
until the queen's last
visitor, if you like,
886
00:38:16,085 --> 00:38:19,880
had left, and then she'd
dash in before the next one,
887
00:38:19,922 --> 00:38:23,050
and she'd just cry, and
say, "Everybody hates me,
888
00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:24,218
"and I hate my mother.
889
00:38:24,218 --> 00:38:25,469
"I hate my sister,
I hate my husband."
890
00:38:25,511 --> 00:38:28,180
And the queen, not
use to this kind
891
00:38:28,222 --> 00:38:30,308
of moral confrontation,
just didn't know
892
00:38:30,349 --> 00:38:32,518
how to handle Diana.
893
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,813
- It would be a great
mistake to think that she
894
00:38:35,855 --> 00:38:38,107
blamed Diana for
what went wrong.
895
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:40,943
If anything, I believe,
896
00:38:42,236 --> 00:38:44,322
that she and her
husband, Prince Philip,
897
00:38:44,363 --> 00:38:46,407
put more of the blame
on Prince Charles,
898
00:38:46,407 --> 00:38:49,076
and Prince Charles, of course,
as we since discovered,
899
00:38:49,076 --> 00:38:52,204
was already committed,
emotionally, to another woman.
900
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:55,082
- [Voiceover] The Prince of
Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles
901
00:38:55,124 --> 00:38:57,376
seen together in
public quite clearly.
902
00:38:57,418 --> 00:38:59,462
- Charles and Diana and Camilla
903
00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:02,590
and Fergie and
Andrew, it's endless
904
00:39:02,631 --> 00:39:04,925
how the royals go on at bedtime,
905
00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:07,428
and that creates problems.
906
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:10,931
- When he was interviewed
by Jonathan Dimbleby,
907
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:13,559
and asked whether he'd
committed adultery,
908
00:39:13,601 --> 00:39:16,270
he, again, told the truth,
909
00:39:16,270 --> 00:39:18,147
"Yes, but only when the marriage
910
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,483
"had irretrievably broken down."
911
00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:22,860
And for some strange reason,
912
00:39:22,902 --> 00:39:25,613
the great British public chooses
913
00:39:25,654 --> 00:39:28,491
not to believe him,
914
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:31,285
but to believe Diana's
version that Camilla
915
00:39:31,327 --> 00:39:33,245
was always there, that
there was no chance
916
00:39:33,287 --> 00:39:34,622
of it ever working.
917
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:36,290
- I've come to the conclusion
918
00:39:36,332 --> 00:39:38,250
that really it would have been
919
00:39:38,292 --> 00:39:41,170
far easier to have two wives,
920
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:45,007
(audience laughs)
921
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,968
to have covered both
sides of the street.
922
00:39:48,010 --> 00:39:50,304
(audience laughs)
923
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,640
That time everybody
was saying, "Goodluck",
924
00:39:52,681 --> 00:39:54,642
and, "Hope everything
goes well", and,
925
00:39:54,683 --> 00:39:58,270
"How lucky you are to be
engaged to such a lovely lady."
926
00:39:58,312 --> 00:40:01,273
But, my goodness, I was
lucky enough to marry her,
927
00:40:01,315 --> 00:40:05,319
and we had many, many--
(audience laughs)
928
00:40:05,319 --> 00:40:08,489
It's amazing what ladies do
when you're back's turned.
929
00:40:08,489 --> 00:40:10,991
(audience laughs)
930
00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:13,327
- It quickly went wrong.
931
00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:16,664
- The first
inclination that I got
932
00:40:16,705 --> 00:40:18,332
the marriage had gone wrong
933
00:40:18,582 --> 00:40:21,627
was a palace maid, her
name was Michelle Rowes,
934
00:40:21,669 --> 00:40:25,464
went to their room at Balmoral
one morning to clean it up,
935
00:40:25,506 --> 00:40:28,634
and every single thing
in it had been smashed.
936
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:30,344
It was wrecked,
937
00:40:30,344 --> 00:40:32,638
and Charles had slept on his
floor in the dressing room.
938
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,434
I mean, it was, from that
moment on it was obvious that...
939
00:40:36,475 --> 00:40:38,561
I mean all couples have rows,
940
00:40:38,602 --> 00:40:40,312
but this one never ended.
941
00:40:40,354 --> 00:40:43,190
- Well before the actual
breakup of the marriage,
942
00:40:43,232 --> 00:40:45,526
things were
beginning to be said.
943
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:48,571
I can remember a very
senior royal advisor
944
00:40:48,612 --> 00:40:50,197
talking to me about it a bit,
945
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,034
and it wasn't until
one particular writer
946
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:57,204
and the Princess got
together and she decided
947
00:40:57,204 --> 00:41:00,458
that she wanted
her story out there
948
00:41:00,499 --> 00:41:03,085
that the whole thing exploded.
949
00:41:03,127 --> 00:41:04,962
- I wrote a book
14 years ago called
950
00:41:05,004 --> 00:41:06,464
Charles Victim or Villain,
951
00:41:06,505 --> 00:41:09,467
that caused a huge fuss.
952
00:41:09,508 --> 00:41:11,552
I set out to discover whether
953
00:41:11,552 --> 00:41:14,221
he had never stopped
loving Camilla
954
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:17,266
and had used Diana
and abused her.
955
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:19,059
The conclusion I came
to was that there
956
00:41:19,101 --> 00:41:20,478
were no villains at all.
957
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:22,396
They were all victims.
958
00:41:22,438 --> 00:41:26,233
It was not Charles' fault
that it hadn't worked.
959
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:28,402
He was a needy individual.
960
00:41:28,444 --> 00:41:31,155
She was a desperately
needy individual,
961
00:41:31,197 --> 00:41:34,074
and they were unable
to help each other.
962
00:41:34,116 --> 00:41:36,494
- I wish to inform the
house that Buckingham Palace
963
00:41:36,535 --> 00:41:39,288
at this moment, issuing
the following statement.
964
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,749
It reads as follows,
965
00:41:41,790 --> 00:41:44,251
"It is announced from
Buckingham Palace
966
00:41:44,251 --> 00:41:47,004
"that, with regret, the
Prince and Princess of Wales
967
00:41:47,046 --> 00:41:49,048
"have decided to separate.
968
00:41:49,089 --> 00:41:51,759
"The Royal Highnesses
have no plans to divorce,
969
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,429
"and their constituntional
positions are unaffected.
970
00:41:55,471 --> 00:41:58,265
"This decision has
been reached amicably
971
00:41:58,307 --> 00:42:01,143
"and they will both continue
to participate fully
972
00:42:01,185 --> 00:42:03,771
"in the upbringing
of their children."
973
00:42:03,812 --> 00:42:06,315
- [Voiceover] Diana continued
to live at Kensington Palace
974
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:08,526
and bring up William and Harry,
975
00:42:08,567 --> 00:42:10,653
but her lifestyle and
choice of partners
976
00:42:10,694 --> 00:42:13,781
was beginning to destabilize,
not only the family,
977
00:42:13,822 --> 00:42:16,325
but also the monarchy.
978
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:19,286
- We knew she was
seeing Dodi Fayed,
979
00:42:19,286 --> 00:42:21,664
son of Mohammed Fayed
the owner of Harrod's,
980
00:42:21,705 --> 00:42:23,332
and I think a lot
of people thought
981
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:25,042
that was a very
strange relationship.
982
00:42:25,084 --> 00:42:28,337
- She went with the boys
to stay with the Fayeds
983
00:42:28,379 --> 00:42:30,172
in the South of France.
984
00:42:30,214 --> 00:42:33,217
Diana was photographed
cavorting with Dodi.
985
00:42:33,259 --> 00:42:35,553
The boys found that
quite uncomfortable.
986
00:42:35,594 --> 00:42:37,179
There was a lot of publicity.
987
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:39,598
They went back to England,
988
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,476
and flew up to Scotland
and joined their father,
989
00:42:42,476 --> 00:42:45,145
and they started
the family holiday.
990
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:49,483
(solemn music)
991
00:42:51,735 --> 00:42:54,238
- I was asleep in bed
and the phone rang,
992
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,324
and one of my
bosses said, "Nick,
993
00:42:57,366 --> 00:42:59,326
"there's been a
car crash in Paris.
994
00:42:59,368 --> 00:43:02,454
"Dodi Fayed is
dead, and we think
995
00:43:02,496 --> 00:43:04,582
"the princess is dead, too."
996
00:43:04,623 --> 00:43:08,752
(solemn music)
997
00:43:11,547 --> 00:43:13,799
So, I obviously,
got up, got dressed,
998
00:43:13,841 --> 00:43:16,176
went straight to the studio
in the middle of the night,
999
00:43:16,218 --> 00:43:18,470
and then was really
1000
00:43:18,512 --> 00:43:20,472
on television, I have to say,
1001
00:43:20,514 --> 00:43:22,349
for the next week, really.
1002
00:43:22,349 --> 00:43:23,601
- [Voiceover] At first
ambulance crews managed
1003
00:43:23,642 --> 00:43:26,270
to keep the princess
alive, but her heart
1004
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:27,688
had stopped beating by the time
1005
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:29,523
she was admitted to hospital.
1006
00:43:29,565 --> 00:43:31,609
The surgeons fought
for two hours
1007
00:43:31,650 --> 00:43:33,360
to restart her heart.
1008
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,863
At 3 o'clock this
morning, London time,
1009
00:43:35,904 --> 00:43:37,740
they admitted
defeat and announced
1010
00:43:37,781 --> 00:43:41,285
that Diana, Princess
of Wales, was dead.
1011
00:43:42,369 --> 00:43:44,830
- It was Charles' burden
and responsibility
1012
00:43:44,872 --> 00:43:46,832
to break the news
that their mother
1013
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:48,751
had died, to William and Harry,
1014
00:43:48,792 --> 00:43:50,210
which, I think, must have been
1015
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:52,171
enormously difficult.
1016
00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:54,632
- The week after Diana
died was a long week
1017
00:43:54,673 --> 00:43:56,300
from a media point of view.
1018
00:43:56,342 --> 00:43:58,218
The queen was up at Balmoral.
1019
00:43:58,260 --> 00:44:00,512
She happened to have
staying with her at the time
1020
00:44:00,554 --> 00:44:03,432
Prince Charles, Prince
William, and Prince Harry.
1021
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:06,518
What she was doing
was giving strength
1022
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,313
to her grandchildren
so that they were able
1023
00:44:09,355 --> 00:44:12,191
to come down to London
and go through the
1024
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:15,235
huge ordeal of their
mother's extremely public
1025
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:17,404
global funeral.
1026
00:44:17,446 --> 00:44:21,408
- The one thing that Diana
will be praised for forevermore
1027
00:44:21,408 --> 00:44:25,412
was giving those
children real love
1028
00:44:25,412 --> 00:44:28,332
and security in
their early days.
1029
00:44:28,374 --> 00:44:30,542
- The people who loved
her were the staff.
1030
00:44:30,584 --> 00:44:33,253
She would often take William
and Harry down to the kitchen
1031
00:44:33,295 --> 00:44:34,922
to have their tea, and
they wanted fish fingers
1032
00:44:34,963 --> 00:44:36,423
and things like that,
1033
00:44:36,423 --> 00:44:37,675
but if they had it upstairs,
1034
00:44:37,716 --> 00:44:39,802
she would bring both
boys down to the kitchen,
1035
00:44:39,843 --> 00:44:42,930
afterwards, to say thank you.
1036
00:44:42,971 --> 00:44:45,849
- [Voiceover] Camilla Parker
Bowles had a long-standing
1037
00:44:45,891 --> 00:44:48,435
relationship with
Prince Charles,
1038
00:44:48,435 --> 00:44:51,271
from being at the center
of a bitter marital feud,
1039
00:44:51,313 --> 00:44:54,233
to gradually increasing her
association with Charles
1040
00:44:54,274 --> 00:44:55,943
after Diana's death.
1041
00:44:55,984 --> 00:44:58,612
- She had grandmother
who'd been a mistress
1042
00:44:58,612 --> 00:45:01,448
of a previous Prince of Wales.
1043
00:45:01,448 --> 00:45:04,326
When they first met, she
actually said to Prince Charles,
1044
00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:07,621
"My grandmother slept with your
grandfather, how about it?"
1045
00:45:07,621 --> 00:45:10,708
And what young man is
going to say no to that?
1046
00:45:10,749 --> 00:45:14,378
(crowd cheering)
1047
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:18,882
(regal instrumental music)
1048
00:45:22,636 --> 00:45:24,471
- [Voiceover] Prince Charles
and Camilla Parker Bowles
1049
00:45:24,513 --> 00:45:27,474
were married on the
9th of April 2005.
1050
00:45:27,474 --> 00:45:29,643
- [Voiceover] He was always
quite tense with Diana
1051
00:45:29,685 --> 00:45:32,312
because there was always
another fight around the corner,
1052
00:45:32,354 --> 00:45:35,315
another intense
moment, another drama,
1053
00:45:35,357 --> 00:45:37,651
but with Camilla, she
understands the man,
1054
00:45:37,693 --> 00:45:39,319
having been his
mistress, having been
1055
00:45:39,361 --> 00:45:42,990
the love of his life
for 50 odd years.
1056
00:45:43,031 --> 00:45:46,326
- [Voiceover] Charles has done
a huge amount in his life.
1057
00:45:46,368 --> 00:45:48,746
He's never had any kind of
message of congratulations
1058
00:45:48,787 --> 00:45:50,372
from his parents.
1059
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:52,875
- [Voiceover] The queen, I
think, frankly, feels that
1060
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:56,378
Charles is a bit too grand
for the rest of the family,
1061
00:45:56,420 --> 00:45:58,756
the way in which he intervenes,
1062
00:45:58,797 --> 00:46:00,632
talking to government ministers.
1063
00:46:00,674 --> 00:46:04,011
his espousing of quite
controversial causes.
1064
00:46:04,052 --> 00:46:06,013
He's dangerous for the monarchy.
1065
00:46:06,054 --> 00:46:07,973
- [Voiceover] Prince Charles
has not found it easy
1066
00:46:08,015 --> 00:46:09,892
bridging the divide
between Prince Philip's
1067
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,019
stiff upper lip view of manhood
1068
00:46:12,060 --> 00:46:14,396
and his own more
sensitive outlook.
1069
00:46:15,522 --> 00:46:18,901
As he nears his 70s, Prince
Charles still retains
1070
00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:22,279
his desire to assert
his individuality.
1071
00:46:22,321 --> 00:46:24,323
- It's also extremely
nice to know
1072
00:46:24,364 --> 00:46:26,366
that I share a birthday
with a biscuit.
1073
00:46:26,408 --> 00:46:28,285
(indistinct speech)
1074
00:46:28,327 --> 00:46:30,370
(audience laughs)
1075
00:46:30,412 --> 00:46:32,873
- He does really care about
this country and its people.
1076
00:46:32,873 --> 00:46:35,834
For instance, the
Gulf War, Afghanistan,
1077
00:46:35,876 --> 00:46:38,796
that's why they're always
going and visiting troops.
1078
00:46:38,837 --> 00:46:40,547
- When I was a
Royal Correspondent,
1079
00:46:40,547 --> 00:46:43,383
never any doubt that he
knew what my job was.
1080
00:46:43,425 --> 00:46:45,886
Wasn't always easy dealing
with Prince Charles,
1081
00:46:45,886 --> 00:46:48,889
but subsequently, I
have come to admire
1082
00:46:48,889 --> 00:46:51,558
the fact that we have
a Prince of Wales
1083
00:46:51,558 --> 00:46:55,062
who is not afraid,
sometimes, to speak his mind.
1084
00:46:55,103 --> 00:46:57,564
- The queen can't do that.
1085
00:46:57,564 --> 00:47:01,443
Her opinions on anything have
to be very, very careful,
1086
00:47:01,485 --> 00:47:03,695
very, very neuteral.
1087
00:47:03,737 --> 00:47:05,823
- Over the past century,
1088
00:47:05,864 --> 00:47:09,576
we have made it
into a rubbish dump.
1089
00:47:09,618 --> 00:47:13,831
The effluence we pour
headlessly into its waters
1090
00:47:13,872 --> 00:47:17,751
are a threat to its
delicate ecological balance.
1091
00:47:17,793 --> 00:47:20,754
- [Voiceover] Prince Charles
remains a king in waiting,
1092
00:47:20,754 --> 00:47:23,590
ready to make his mark
on the British monarchy.
1093
00:47:23,632 --> 00:47:27,427
- Whether he will still be
willing to speak out on things
1094
00:47:27,469 --> 00:47:29,429
I rather doubt.
1095
00:47:29,471 --> 00:47:32,432
I think he knows that
the job of being monarch
1096
00:47:32,474 --> 00:47:35,769
is to pursue that
strictly neutral line.
1097
00:47:35,811 --> 00:47:38,480
- [Voiceover] Due to the length
of Queen Elizabeth's reign,
1098
00:47:38,522 --> 00:47:41,108
Prince Charles is
unlikely to evoke the same
1099
00:47:41,149 --> 00:47:43,777
sense of anticipation which
greeted the young queen
1100
00:47:43,819 --> 00:47:47,364
at the dawn of the
second Elizabethan Era.
1101
00:47:47,406 --> 00:47:51,785
That honor will likely fall
to his son, Prince William.
1102
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:58,792
(gentle music)
1103
00:48:07,467 --> 00:48:10,053
Prince William is the elder
son of the Prince of Wales
1104
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:13,056
and the late Diana
Princess of Wales.
1105
00:48:13,098 --> 00:48:16,018
On the 29th of April 2011,
1106
00:48:16,059 --> 00:48:18,770
following his marriage
to Katherine Middleton,
1107
00:48:18,812 --> 00:48:21,523
the title, the Duke of
Cambridge, was conferred
1108
00:48:21,565 --> 00:48:23,817
on him by the queen.
1109
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:27,571
(slow string music)
1110
00:48:35,829 --> 00:48:38,040
Prince William
was born at 9:03pm
1111
00:48:38,081 --> 00:48:41,668
on the 21st of June 1982
at Saint Mary's Hospital,
1112
00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:43,962
Paddington, London.
1113
00:48:44,004 --> 00:48:46,048
- Prince Charles came out
and he was so excited.
1114
00:48:46,089 --> 00:48:48,050
I remember climbing
over the barrier
1115
00:48:48,091 --> 00:48:49,134
and going up and
shaking his hand,
1116
00:48:49,176 --> 00:48:51,053
and saying, "Congratulations."
1117
00:48:51,094 --> 00:48:52,429
- [Voiceover] Can you tell
us how the princess is?
1118
00:48:52,471 --> 00:48:53,847
- She's very well, thank you.
1119
00:48:53,889 --> 00:48:55,432
- [Voiceover] And your son?
1120
00:48:55,474 --> 00:48:57,684
- He's in excellent form,
too, thank goodness.
1121
00:48:57,684 --> 00:48:59,937
Looking a bit more
human this morning.
1122
00:48:59,978 --> 00:49:03,440
(crowd cheering)
1123
00:49:11,573 --> 00:49:14,201
- Who wants it which way first?
1124
00:49:14,242 --> 00:49:16,870
This side or that side?
1125
00:49:16,912 --> 00:49:20,707
(playful music)
1126
00:49:33,136 --> 00:49:35,639
- [Voiceover] After attending
Mrs. Myner's School,
1127
00:49:35,681 --> 00:49:38,850
the duke became a pupil at
Wetherby School in London,
1128
00:49:38,892 --> 00:49:41,228
from the 15th of January 1987
1129
00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:44,189
until the 5th of July 1990.
1130
00:49:44,231 --> 00:49:47,234
From a very early age,
William began to realize
1131
00:49:47,275 --> 00:49:50,195
the challenges that
lay ahead of him.
1132
00:49:50,237 --> 00:49:54,491
(gentle music)
1133
00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:11,174
- Kid said to
William, "Excuse me,
1134
00:50:11,216 --> 00:50:14,136
"is it true that you
know the queen?",
1135
00:50:14,177 --> 00:50:16,763
and William, sort of, just
looked at him and said,
1136
00:50:16,763 --> 00:50:19,641
"Don't you mean Granny?"
1137
00:50:19,683 --> 00:50:21,268
- I remember one
picture I've got of him,
1138
00:50:21,309 --> 00:50:23,270
in fact, he's trying to
run on the polo field,
1139
00:50:23,311 --> 00:50:24,563
and his nanny's grabbed him,
1140
00:50:24,604 --> 00:50:25,897
and she's scolding him,
1141
00:50:25,939 --> 00:50:28,567
and William's face
creases into tears,
1142
00:50:28,608 --> 00:50:30,152
and I remember what
happened afterwards.
1143
00:50:30,193 --> 00:50:32,070
He run to his mother,
and she sat on his lap
1144
00:50:32,112 --> 00:50:33,613
and she soothed him.
1145
00:50:33,655 --> 00:50:36,616
- William and Harry
grew up in this very
1146
00:50:36,658 --> 00:50:38,076
tricky household.
1147
00:50:38,118 --> 00:50:39,953
They absolutely
adored their mother.
1148
00:50:39,953 --> 00:50:41,913
Their mother
absolutely adored them.
1149
00:50:41,955 --> 00:50:43,540
And so did their father.
1150
00:50:43,582 --> 00:50:46,084
- Prince Charles
proved to be a loving,
1151
00:50:46,126 --> 00:50:48,712
understanding, caring father
1152
00:50:48,754 --> 00:50:51,089
of whom the boys
are immensely fond.
1153
00:50:51,131 --> 00:50:53,967
- If Prince Charles
would have listened
1154
00:50:54,009 --> 00:50:56,178
to Princess Diana
he would have seen
1155
00:50:56,219 --> 00:50:58,930
the characters of his
children were different
1156
00:50:58,972 --> 00:51:01,058
and would require
different types
1157
00:51:01,099 --> 00:51:04,144
of attitudes toward the
way they should be raised.
1158
00:51:04,144 --> 00:51:06,313
I think that was certainly
reflected in the way
1159
00:51:06,354 --> 00:51:10,233
that he raised, as a father,
Prince's William and Harry.
1160
00:51:10,275 --> 00:51:12,569
She was wanting the children
raised a certain way,
1161
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:14,196
and she got that.
1162
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:15,739
She would take
them to McDonalds.
1163
00:51:15,781 --> 00:51:17,240
She would take
them on the streets
1164
00:51:17,282 --> 00:51:19,201
to see homeless people,
1165
00:51:19,242 --> 00:51:21,328
and to try and wake them up
1166
00:51:21,369 --> 00:51:23,955
to the fact that they
are special as princes,
1167
00:51:23,997 --> 00:51:27,209
but they've got to appreciate
the other side of life.
1168
00:51:27,250 --> 00:51:29,920
(screaming)
1169
00:51:34,132 --> 00:51:36,343
- [Voiceover] The one thing
that Diana will be praised for,
1170
00:51:36,384 --> 00:51:38,762
forevermore, was
giving those children
1171
00:51:38,804 --> 00:51:41,890
real love and security.
1172
00:51:41,932 --> 00:51:43,767
- She wanted them to
mix with other children.
1173
00:51:43,809 --> 00:51:46,103
She wanted them to
have fun to be free.
1174
00:51:46,144 --> 00:51:49,022
Prince William looks
a lot like his mother
1175
00:51:49,022 --> 00:51:51,108
in many respects,
but his character
1176
00:51:51,149 --> 00:51:53,360
is more Windsor than Spencer.
1177
00:51:53,401 --> 00:51:57,030
(upbeat music)
1178
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:01,368
- [Voiceover] From
September 1990
1179
00:52:01,409 --> 00:52:04,246
the duke attended Ludgrove
School in Berkshire,
1180
00:52:04,287 --> 00:52:07,874
for five years, until
the 5th of July 1995.
1181
00:52:07,874 --> 00:52:12,170
(upbeat music)
1182
00:52:13,964 --> 00:52:15,340
Over time, Prince William began
1183
00:52:15,382 --> 00:52:18,927
to show more of his mother's
easy and warm character.
1184
00:52:18,969 --> 00:52:23,181
From July 1995, William
attended Eton College
1185
00:52:23,223 --> 00:52:26,643
to study geography, biology,
and the history of art.
1186
00:52:29,896 --> 00:52:32,941
For the young prince, it
would be a year to forget.
1187
00:52:32,983 --> 00:52:34,818
He'd grown use to
his family constantly
1188
00:52:34,860 --> 00:52:36,903
being in the media spotlight,
1189
00:52:36,903 --> 00:52:38,321
but now they were
making headlines
1190
00:52:38,363 --> 00:52:41,158
for all the wrong reasons.
1191
00:52:41,199 --> 00:52:44,161
- The royal family has
reflected family life in general
1192
00:52:44,202 --> 00:52:47,164
because behind palace gates,
they are a normal family
1193
00:52:47,205 --> 00:52:49,666
with normal problems
and normal emotions.
1194
00:52:49,708 --> 00:52:51,418
In fact, they're under
more pressure, really,
1195
00:52:51,459 --> 00:52:53,170
than the rest of us because
1196
00:52:53,211 --> 00:52:55,297
they're moves are
all scrutinized,
1197
00:52:55,338 --> 00:52:56,798
and if there's problems
in the relationship,
1198
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,300
the cameras are
there to pick it up.
1199
00:52:58,341 --> 00:52:59,759
And that very much
happened, of course,
1200
00:52:59,801 --> 00:53:01,720
with Prince Charles and Diana.
1201
00:53:01,761 --> 00:53:04,181
- I asked Prince Philip, and
he said, "We're a family.
1202
00:53:04,222 --> 00:53:06,766
"We are a family.
1203
00:53:06,808 --> 00:53:09,352
"These things
happen in families."
1204
00:53:09,394 --> 00:53:11,938
And they cope with
it as a family would,
1205
00:53:11,980 --> 00:53:15,775
and their reaction
to it is that of
1206
00:53:15,817 --> 00:53:19,196
parents of their
particular generation.
1207
00:53:19,237 --> 00:53:22,949
(solemn music)
1208
00:53:51,144 --> 00:53:53,730
- The princess died
about four hours
1209
00:53:53,772 --> 00:53:58,026
after the terrible
accident that befell her.
1210
00:53:58,068 --> 00:54:02,322
(solemn music)
1211
00:54:14,167 --> 00:54:16,503
- Charles went, in the
early hours of the morning,
1212
00:54:16,544 --> 00:54:19,172
and told them the news.
1213
00:54:19,214 --> 00:54:21,508
Who knows what went
on in that room.
1214
00:54:21,549 --> 00:54:25,053
It must have been utterly,
utterly devastating.
1215
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:28,890
(solemn music)
1216
00:54:29,891 --> 00:54:32,519
The public pressure for the
queen to make an appearance
1217
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,313
was such that she and the boys
1218
00:54:35,355 --> 00:54:38,191
came outside the
gates of Balmoral
1219
00:54:38,191 --> 00:54:42,028
(solemn music)
1220
00:54:42,028 --> 00:54:46,199
and looked at all the
flowers and tributes to Diana
1221
00:54:46,241 --> 00:54:50,787
which must have been
devastating for those boys.
1222
00:54:54,207 --> 00:54:56,835
- [Voiceover] Prince William,
I just remember how brave
1223
00:54:56,876 --> 00:54:59,212
he was in the subsequent
days after she died
1224
00:54:59,212 --> 00:55:01,339
because his moving gestures
1225
00:55:01,381 --> 00:55:03,300
when he went to shake
hands with people,
1226
00:55:03,341 --> 00:55:04,968
thanking them for
their kind words.
1227
00:55:05,010 --> 00:55:06,177
It was so brave
1228
00:55:06,219 --> 00:55:08,346
- Thank you so much.
1229
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:12,183
- [Voiceover] He had sort of
a natural grace and nobility
1230
00:55:12,225 --> 00:55:15,353
about him to rise above
his own personal trauma.
1231
00:55:15,395 --> 00:55:20,025
(solemn music)
1232
00:55:35,248 --> 00:55:37,250
- [Voiceover] Prince William
was only 15-years-old
1233
00:55:37,292 --> 00:55:39,085
when Diana, Princess of Wales
1234
00:55:39,127 --> 00:55:41,254
was killed in a
car crash in Paris
1235
00:55:41,254 --> 00:55:44,215
on the 31st of August 1997.
1236
00:55:44,257 --> 00:55:47,135
(horses' hooves clomping)
1237
00:55:47,177 --> 00:55:48,595
Together with Prince Harry,
1238
00:55:48,636 --> 00:55:51,890
he walked behind their mother's
cortege at her funeral,
1239
00:55:51,931 --> 00:55:54,100
creating one of the
most poignant images
1240
00:55:54,100 --> 00:55:56,144
of the 20th century.
1241
00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,438
- Whenever I see an
image of the princes
1242
00:55:58,438 --> 00:56:01,941
behind Princess Diana's coffin,
1243
00:56:01,983 --> 00:56:05,528
and I think when any
of us see those images,
1244
00:56:05,570 --> 00:56:08,615
I imagine everybody feels
just incredibly protective
1245
00:56:08,656 --> 00:56:12,577
and devastated at the
level of their loss.
1246
00:56:12,619 --> 00:56:15,121
- There was a time
when Prince William
1247
00:56:15,121 --> 00:56:17,248
wasn't terrible keen to
walk in the procession
1248
00:56:17,290 --> 00:56:18,041
because he thought
the whole thing
1249
00:56:18,083 --> 00:56:20,126
had turned into a
terrible, ghastly,
1250
00:56:20,126 --> 00:56:21,378
media shenanigans
1251
00:56:21,419 --> 00:56:23,630
but the night before,
Prince Philip said to him,
1252
00:56:23,671 --> 00:56:25,423
"I think when you're older,
1253
00:56:25,465 --> 00:56:27,133
"you'd regret it,
if you didn't walk
1254
00:56:27,133 --> 00:56:28,468
"in your mother's procession,
1255
00:56:28,468 --> 00:56:30,136
"and I will walk with you."
1256
00:56:30,178 --> 00:56:32,639
And that's an immensely
supportive grandfather.
1257
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,516
I think he got it
absolutely right,
1258
00:56:34,557 --> 00:56:37,185
and there's a moment, if you
look at the footage of that,
1259
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:39,270
that they're passing
under white wall,
1260
00:56:39,312 --> 00:56:40,939
and they think the
cameras aren't on them,
1261
00:56:40,980 --> 00:56:42,190
and Prince Philip
sort of leans over
1262
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:44,526
and says, "How's it going?"
1263
00:56:44,567 --> 00:56:46,277
That's what you need
from a grandfather
1264
00:56:46,319 --> 00:56:48,488
on an occasion of
that kind, I think.
1265
00:56:51,324 --> 00:56:53,201
- I was outside
Westminster Abbey,
1266
00:56:53,243 --> 00:56:56,287
and it was just
quiet, it was quiet,
1267
00:56:56,329 --> 00:56:58,415
thousands of people were there,
1268
00:56:58,456 --> 00:57:00,667
and you could just
here the clip-clop
1269
00:57:00,708 --> 00:57:03,420
of the hooves of the horses
as the coffin went by,
1270
00:57:03,461 --> 00:57:06,172
and all you could hear
was the sobbing of people,
1271
00:57:06,214 --> 00:57:09,592
and I mean, not weeping,
but absolute sobbing.
1272
00:57:10,969 --> 00:57:13,012
- Never being able to
say the word mommy,
1273
00:57:13,054 --> 00:57:15,348
again in your life,
sounds like a small thing,
1274
00:57:15,348 --> 00:57:18,184
however, for many, including me,
1275
00:57:18,184 --> 00:57:20,228
it is now really just a word,
1276
00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:23,064
hollow and evoking
only memories.
1277
00:57:25,650 --> 00:57:27,527
- [Voiceover] As soon
as the funeral was over,
1278
00:57:27,527 --> 00:57:29,654
they went to High Grove
with their father.
1279
00:57:29,696 --> 00:57:31,364
Nobody watched television,
1280
00:57:31,364 --> 00:57:33,199
nobody read any newspapers.
1281
00:57:33,241 --> 00:57:36,035
They just did things with Dad.
1282
00:57:36,077 --> 00:57:37,454
Suddenly, the world
could see that, actually,
1283
00:57:37,495 --> 00:57:39,456
they loved their father,
which they always did,
1284
00:57:39,497 --> 00:57:41,499
but there was
always this feeling
1285
00:57:41,541 --> 00:57:43,209
that maybe he wasn't
a very good father,
1286
00:57:43,209 --> 00:57:45,211
but he always was a good father.
1287
00:57:45,211 --> 00:57:47,964
- [Voiceover] This summer's
photo corps with the princes
1288
00:57:48,006 --> 00:57:50,717
is the first at the family's
country home, High Grove,
1289
00:57:50,758 --> 00:57:52,677
cameramen getting a rare glimpse
1290
00:57:52,719 --> 00:57:54,345
at such close quarters.
1291
00:57:54,387 --> 00:57:56,222
Prince Charles and
Prince Harry waited
1292
00:57:56,222 --> 00:57:58,725
outside the house to see
Prince William drive up
1293
00:57:58,766 --> 00:58:01,227
in a car lent to
him for lessons,
1294
00:58:01,227 --> 00:58:03,980
even royalty must use L-plates.
1295
00:58:04,022 --> 00:58:06,232
- [Voiceover] His
appearances for the press,
1296
00:58:06,232 --> 00:58:08,234
such as driving a car
for the first time,
1297
00:58:08,234 --> 00:58:10,278
seem slightly awkward,
1298
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,530
as though he still regarded
them with suspicion
1299
00:58:12,572 --> 00:58:14,741
for their hounding
of his mother.
1300
00:58:14,782 --> 00:58:16,743
- The photo corps
here at High Grove
1301
00:58:16,784 --> 00:58:18,745
is arranged on the
basis that the princes
1302
00:58:18,786 --> 00:58:21,456
are then left alone to enjoy
the rest of their summer.
1303
00:58:23,291 --> 00:58:25,502
- [Voiceover] Whilst
Prince William grew up
1304
00:58:25,543 --> 00:58:27,629
in the grandeur of
Kensington Palace,
1305
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:30,632
Kate's childhood home
was this Victorian semi,
1306
00:58:30,673 --> 00:58:33,301
in the village of
Bradfield Southend.
1307
00:58:33,343 --> 00:58:36,262
- [Voiceover] A red rose
for Prince William tonight,
1308
00:58:36,262 --> 00:58:38,389
after a day in which
he'd captured the hearts
1309
00:58:38,431 --> 00:58:41,142
of the Scottish people.
1310
00:58:42,435 --> 00:58:44,521
The once media shy prince
1311
00:58:44,562 --> 00:58:47,106
found himself thrust
into the limelight
1312
00:58:47,148 --> 00:58:49,067
as never before.
1313
00:58:49,108 --> 00:58:51,402
- The things you
have to do, nowadays.
1314
00:58:51,444 --> 00:58:53,321
It's really hard.
1315
00:58:53,363 --> 00:58:56,324
- "The things you have to
do nowadays.", he said,
1316
00:58:56,366 --> 00:58:59,285
appearing at a new dance
center in Edinburgh.
1317
00:58:59,285 --> 00:59:02,288
(crowd cheering)
1318
00:59:02,330 --> 00:59:04,207
Earlier, in Glasgow,
the 19-year-old
1319
00:59:04,249 --> 00:59:06,209
was greeted like a pop star,
1320
00:59:06,251 --> 00:59:08,086
as he arrived at
one of the city's
1321
00:59:08,127 --> 00:59:10,421
most deprived housing estates.
1322
00:59:10,463 --> 00:59:12,215
- [Voiceover] Having grow
up with his every move
1323
00:59:12,257 --> 00:59:14,676
being followed, Prince
William was determined
1324
00:59:14,717 --> 00:59:18,304
to spend his student years
away from the media spotlight
1325
00:59:18,346 --> 00:59:21,057
and without the
trappings of royal life.
1326
00:59:21,099 --> 00:59:23,309
- [Voiceover] Royal by birth
but with the common touch,
1327
00:59:23,351 --> 00:59:25,186
he charmed these pensioners,
1328
00:59:25,228 --> 00:59:28,439
telling them he was looking
forward to university.
1329
00:59:28,481 --> 00:59:32,318
(speaking softly)
1330
00:59:33,194 --> 00:59:35,238
- Yeah, it's very nice,
it's got a very nice
1331
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,740
community feel about it.
1332
00:59:40,201 --> 00:59:41,327
- [Voiceover] After a gap year,
1333
00:59:41,369 --> 00:59:43,204
in which he visited
Chili, Balize,
1334
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:45,582
and African countries,
Prince William chose
1335
00:59:45,623 --> 00:59:49,168
to study at Saint Andrews
University in Firth, Scotland.
1336
00:59:49,210 --> 00:59:53,298
(upbeat music)
1337
01:00:04,183 --> 01:00:05,518
The ancient town
of Saint Andrews
1338
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,353
on the east coast of Scotland,
1339
01:00:07,353 --> 01:00:08,855
seemed a perfect choice,
1340
01:00:08,896 --> 01:00:10,356
small, remote,
1341
01:00:10,356 --> 01:00:13,359
and with a close-knit
student community.
1342
01:00:13,359 --> 01:00:15,278
It also lay claim to
being Britain's top
1343
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,530
match making university.
1344
01:00:17,530 --> 01:00:21,409
(upbeat music)
1345
01:00:22,368 --> 01:00:24,370
(crowd cheering)
1346
01:00:24,412 --> 01:00:26,664
- [Voiceover] This small
university town of Saint Andrews
1347
01:00:26,706 --> 01:00:29,292
had never seen anything like it.
1348
01:00:29,334 --> 01:00:31,502
Prince William greeted
like a local hero
1349
01:00:31,544 --> 01:00:34,213
as he arrived with his father.
1350
01:00:35,256 --> 01:00:37,800
Even before he attended
a single lecture
1351
01:00:37,842 --> 01:00:39,636
of his art history course,
1352
01:00:39,677 --> 01:00:42,221
the studen prince
was a celebrity.
1353
01:00:42,263 --> 01:00:45,391
(upbeat music)
1354
01:00:46,726 --> 01:00:48,394
- Before coming
to Saint Andrews,
1355
01:00:48,394 --> 01:00:50,271
Prince William said he
wanted to be treated
1356
01:00:50,313 --> 01:00:52,190
like an ordinary student,
1357
01:00:52,231 --> 01:00:53,566
but with half the
town turning out
1358
01:00:53,608 --> 01:00:56,402
to see him, that seems
a distant prospect
1359
01:00:56,402 --> 01:00:59,364
for this rising star
of the royal family.
1360
01:01:02,742 --> 01:01:04,452
- Very nice to meet you.
1361
01:01:04,494 --> 01:01:06,704
Thank you very much.
1362
01:01:06,746 --> 01:01:10,416
(upbeat music)
1363
01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:14,170
- There was an agreement,
a gentemen's agreement,
1364
01:01:14,212 --> 01:01:15,880
between the palace
and the press,
1365
01:01:15,922 --> 01:01:17,465
that they would leave him alone
1366
01:01:17,507 --> 01:01:20,343
to study without
endless intrusion
1367
01:01:20,385 --> 01:01:22,887
from paparazzi photographers.
1368
01:01:22,929 --> 01:01:24,263
- When we did this agreement,
1369
01:01:24,305 --> 01:01:25,932
I never thought it would stick
1370
01:01:25,973 --> 01:01:27,266
because I know
the British media,
1371
01:01:27,308 --> 01:01:29,185
and they can't help themselves.
1372
01:01:29,227 --> 01:01:31,604
But, I suspect, that
they did have the memory
1373
01:01:31,646 --> 01:01:33,940
of Diana in their minds,
1374
01:01:33,981 --> 01:01:36,359
and of her tragic end,
1375
01:01:36,401 --> 01:01:38,611
and of the way that she
had been constantly hounded
1376
01:01:38,611 --> 01:01:40,363
by the paparazzi,
1377
01:01:40,405 --> 01:01:42,198
and I don't think
the British media
1378
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,284
wanted another
Diana on its hands.
1379
01:01:45,326 --> 01:01:47,203
- [Voiceover] This
historic agreement between
1380
01:01:47,245 --> 01:01:49,288
the palace and the
press meant that William
1381
01:01:49,330 --> 01:01:52,208
would have the chance to
spend his university years
1382
01:01:52,250 --> 01:01:54,210
as just another student,
1383
01:01:54,252 --> 01:01:56,295
albeit a very famous one.
1384
01:01:56,337 --> 01:02:01,217
(upbeat music)
1385
01:02:15,273 --> 01:02:17,734
- In the ensuing years, he
didn't go off the rails.
1386
01:02:17,775 --> 01:02:19,986
He grew up, he went
through school.
1387
01:02:20,027 --> 01:02:21,654
He got good academic results,
1388
01:02:21,696 --> 01:02:24,615
and he found a nice,
attractive girl, at university.
1389
01:02:24,657 --> 01:02:26,659
- [Voiceover] William
would spend his first year
1390
01:02:26,701 --> 01:02:29,620
living at Saint Salvatore's
Hall of Residence,
1391
01:02:29,662 --> 01:02:31,998
known locally as Sally's,
1392
01:02:32,039 --> 01:02:34,000
and it was here, that
he and Kate Middleton,
1393
01:02:34,041 --> 01:02:36,377
would finally meet.
1394
01:02:36,419 --> 01:02:38,880
For their second
year at university,
1395
01:02:38,921 --> 01:02:40,506
William and Kate shared a house
1396
01:02:40,506 --> 01:02:43,384
on one of Saint Andrews'
most exclusive streets,
1397
01:02:43,426 --> 01:02:46,637
renting a top floor apartment
with two other friends.
1398
01:02:46,679 --> 01:02:49,390
It was here that their
romance blossomed,
1399
01:02:49,432 --> 01:02:51,809
but it would be
another 18 months
1400
01:02:51,851 --> 01:02:54,979
before the relationship
was revealed in the press,
1401
01:02:55,021 --> 01:02:56,814
when the couple were
photographed together
1402
01:02:56,856 --> 01:02:59,525
on a skiing holiday
in the Swiss Alps.
1403
01:02:59,525 --> 01:03:02,361
- [Voiceover] This was Prince
William at the weekend,
1404
01:03:02,403 --> 01:03:06,365
enjoying the slopes at
Clo-stis with his father
1405
01:03:06,407 --> 01:03:07,533
the Prince of Wales,
1406
01:03:07,575 --> 01:03:09,786
in full view of
the photographers.
1407
01:03:09,827 --> 01:03:12,538
In return, the paparazzi
and their clicking shutters
1408
01:03:12,538 --> 01:03:14,373
were expected to withdraw,
1409
01:03:14,415 --> 01:03:16,292
leaving the royals to enjoy
1410
01:03:16,334 --> 01:03:18,294
the rest of their
holiday in private.
1411
01:03:18,336 --> 01:03:21,047
That's why Prince William
is said to be irritated,
1412
01:03:21,088 --> 01:03:22,799
and Palace officials furious
1413
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,842
about today's
edition of The Sun.
1414
01:03:24,884 --> 01:03:27,553
Ironically, this
dispute comes at a time
1415
01:03:27,553 --> 01:03:29,555
when Prince William
appeared to be
1416
01:03:29,555 --> 01:03:32,058
increasingly relaxed
with the press attention,
1417
01:03:32,099 --> 01:03:33,976
happy to joke with
the photographers,
1418
01:03:34,018 --> 01:03:36,896
many of whom are known
on first name terms.
1419
01:03:36,896 --> 01:03:39,023
- [Voiceover] (indistinct
speech) last night Will?
1420
01:03:39,065 --> 01:03:41,025
- I might have done Arthur, yes.
1421
01:03:41,067 --> 01:03:42,985
(photographers laughing)
1422
01:03:43,027 --> 01:03:44,612
- [Voiceover] What do you think?
1423
01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:46,823
- Disappointed, but we'll
still watch what happens,
1424
01:03:46,864 --> 01:03:48,032
so I'm quite happy about that.
1425
01:03:48,074 --> 01:03:49,408
- [Voiceover] Arthur
Edwards, The Sun's veteran
1426
01:03:49,450 --> 01:03:51,410
royal photographer,
says he believes
1427
01:03:51,452 --> 01:03:52,995
Prince William
wasn't, necessarily,
1428
01:03:53,037 --> 01:03:54,997
an unwilling victim.
1429
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:56,415
- [Voiceover] Today's
edition of The Sun
1430
01:03:56,457 --> 01:03:58,334
dedicates its first five pages
1431
01:03:58,376 --> 01:04:00,962
to a story about the
prince's alleged romance
1432
01:04:01,003 --> 01:04:02,755
with a fellow student.
1433
01:04:02,755 --> 01:04:04,423
The girl, said to
be the prince's
1434
01:04:04,465 --> 01:04:07,343
first serious girlfriend,
is Kate Middleton.
1435
01:04:07,385 --> 01:04:09,720
She is flatmate of the
prince at Saint Andrews.
1436
01:04:09,762 --> 01:04:11,639
There wasn't to be
anymore denying after that
1437
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:13,349
because it was a picture
for everyone to see.
1438
01:04:13,391 --> 01:04:14,851
This was a couple,
1439
01:04:14,892 --> 01:04:16,602
and "Will Gets His
Girl", I think,
1440
01:04:16,644 --> 01:04:18,104
was the headline, and he had,
1441
01:04:18,145 --> 01:04:21,649
but truth was he'd had
for for quite a time.
1442
01:04:21,691 --> 01:04:24,902
(applause)
1443
01:04:29,407 --> 01:04:31,033
- [Voiceover] William Wales.
1444
01:04:31,075 --> 01:04:33,786
(applause)
1445
01:04:46,132 --> 01:04:49,051
- Kate's life was going
to change unbelievably.
1446
01:04:49,093 --> 01:04:51,470
She was a sort of normal girl
1447
01:04:51,512 --> 01:04:52,930
who went to Malborough College.
1448
01:04:52,972 --> 01:04:55,016
We knew, even then, that
she was going to become
1449
01:04:55,057 --> 01:04:58,060
one of the most photographed
women in the world.
1450
01:04:59,186 --> 01:05:03,065
- [Voiceover] Yeah, quick,
quick, quick, quick, quick.
1451
01:05:04,108 --> 01:05:07,153
- An interview,
Charles is there today.
1452
01:05:07,194 --> 01:05:11,616
(soft talking)
1453
01:05:16,829 --> 01:05:21,459
(solemn music)
1454
01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:30,676
- They had a few
splits along the way,
1455
01:05:30,676 --> 01:05:33,054
but they have been
a very solid couple
1456
01:05:33,095 --> 01:05:34,722
for a very long time,
1457
01:05:34,764 --> 01:05:36,974
which is in contrast to
1458
01:05:37,016 --> 01:05:39,435
what Charles had to put up with
1459
01:05:39,477 --> 01:05:41,854
in terms of the
relationship with Diana.
1460
01:05:41,854 --> 01:05:45,858
(solemn music)
1461
01:05:53,866 --> 01:05:55,534
- [Voiceover] Prince
William, and his girlfriend
1462
01:05:55,576 --> 01:05:57,036
Kate Middleton have split up.
1463
01:05:57,036 --> 01:05:59,205
ITV News can reveal it
was a mutual decision,
1464
01:05:59,246 --> 01:06:01,457
and although they've
broken up before,
1465
01:06:01,499 --> 01:06:03,876
this time it is final.
1466
01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:08,130
(solemn music)
1467
01:06:12,885 --> 01:06:15,137
- At the time, I wasn't
very happy about it,
1468
01:06:15,179 --> 01:06:17,974
but, actually, it made
me a stronger person.
1469
01:06:18,015 --> 01:06:20,184
You know, you find out
things about yourself.
1470
01:06:20,226 --> 01:06:23,562
(solemn music)
1471
01:06:23,604 --> 01:06:25,231
I really valued that time,
1472
01:06:25,272 --> 01:06:27,650
although I didn't think
it at the time, (mumbles)
1473
01:06:27,692 --> 01:06:28,901
(laughing)
1474
01:06:28,901 --> 01:06:30,194
- I'm sure.
1475
01:06:30,236 --> 01:06:33,239
- [Voiceover] Wemberly
Stadium, 1st of July 2007,
1476
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:36,784
on what would have been
Princess Diana's 46th birthday,
1477
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:39,203
William and Harry
hosted a special
1478
01:06:39,245 --> 01:06:41,914
tribute concert
for their mother.
1479
01:06:41,956 --> 01:06:44,166
Backstage the princes
rubbed shoulders
1480
01:06:44,208 --> 01:06:47,795
with hip hop royalty and the
recently reformed Take That,
1481
01:06:48,796 --> 01:06:50,256
but rumors were
growing of another
1482
01:06:50,297 --> 01:06:53,175
eagerly anticipated reunion.
1483
01:06:53,217 --> 01:06:55,052
- There was a lot of speculation
1484
01:06:55,094 --> 01:06:56,137
about whether Kate and William
1485
01:06:56,178 --> 01:06:57,930
were back together as an item,
1486
01:06:57,972 --> 01:06:59,932
and the day before the concert,
1487
01:06:59,974 --> 01:07:02,643
I asked William whether
he would be inviting Kate.
1488
01:07:02,685 --> 01:07:05,146
- (stammers) I have a lot
of friends that are coming.
1489
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:06,272
- You can clearly
comment on this one.
1490
01:07:06,313 --> 01:07:08,232
- Wow, that is so shocking.
1491
01:07:08,274 --> 01:07:09,525
- I've got lots
of friends coming,
1492
01:07:09,567 --> 01:07:11,027
so everyone's gonna
be there that night,
1493
01:07:11,068 --> 01:07:12,695
and it's gonna be a
great night, basically.
1494
01:07:12,737 --> 01:07:14,280
- That's very well
avoided, William.
1495
01:07:14,321 --> 01:07:16,073
(laughing)
- Very diplomatic.
1496
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:18,200
- [Voiceover] Rather than the
lightning, fairy tale romance
1497
01:07:18,242 --> 01:07:20,077
of Prince Charles and Diana,
1498
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:22,121
Prince William enjoyed
a more conventional
1499
01:07:22,121 --> 01:07:24,707
relationship with
Katherine Middleton,
1500
01:07:27,668 --> 01:07:31,172
before marrying her on
the 29th of April 2011.
1501
01:07:31,213 --> 01:07:34,050
(crowd cheering)
1502
01:07:34,091 --> 01:07:37,803
(upbeat music)
1503
01:07:37,845 --> 01:07:40,806
- There she was in
her beautiful dress,
1504
01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:43,642
flashing Diana's
ring and, generally,
1505
01:07:43,684 --> 01:07:45,186
enjoying every minute of it.
1506
01:07:45,227 --> 01:07:46,729
Although there
were nerves there,
1507
01:07:46,771 --> 01:07:48,147
it was a very happy
occasion in their lives,
1508
01:07:48,147 --> 01:07:50,733
and it was the happiest I'd
actually ever seen William.
1509
01:07:50,775 --> 01:07:52,818
- First time since 1660
1510
01:07:52,818 --> 01:07:55,071
a major member of
the royal family,
1511
01:07:55,112 --> 01:07:57,239
who's in line to the throne,
1512
01:07:57,281 --> 01:07:59,867
is marrying a commoner.
1513
01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:02,578
- Prince William is now
very happily married
1514
01:08:02,620 --> 01:08:05,247
to a young lady who
seems absolutely
1515
01:08:05,289 --> 01:08:07,124
suitable in every way.
1516
01:08:07,166 --> 01:08:09,168
I mean, this is
the royal family.
1517
01:08:09,168 --> 01:08:11,754
It's a fairy story
all over again.
1518
01:08:11,796 --> 01:08:15,758
- There's less sense of the
weight of Burke's Peerage.
1519
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,178
What matters, I
think, is that she's
1520
01:08:19,178 --> 01:08:22,223
capable of becoming queen.

had been some serious
1524
01:08:33,275 --> 01:08:34,693
training at Sandhurst.
1525
01:08:34,735 --> 01:08:36,987
This was the prince
in action at Cypress.
1526
01:08:37,029 --> 01:08:40,116
The 44 week course is
notoriously grueling.
1527
01:08:40,157 --> 01:08:43,327
William obviously wasn't
sparred the heavy lifting.
1528
01:08:46,872 --> 01:08:48,290
- [Voiceover] The Duke
of Cambridge joined
1529
01:08:48,332 --> 01:08:50,251
the Royal Military
Academy Sandhurst
1530

(upbeat band music)
1536
01:09:11,438 --> 01:09:13,274
- Unlike so many
younger generations
1537
01:09:13,315 --> 01:09:16,735
who are at odds with their
parents and grandparents,
1538
01:09:16,777 --> 01:09:19,697
you have a couple of young men
1539
01:09:21,198 --> 01:09:24,702
who are clearly devoted,
not just to Charles,
1540
01:09:24,743 --> 01:09:26,745
but to their grandmother.
1541
01:09:26,787 --> 01:09:28,247

no doubt that the queen
1542

and Prince William have
a very good relationship.
1543
01:09:31,792 --> 01:09:35,254
- [Voiceover] William, we know,
looks up to her, enormously.
1544
01:09:36,922 --> 01:09:39,258
When he was at Eton,
which is the school
1545
01:09:39,258 --> 01:09:42,303
right beside Windsor
Castle, he would regularly
1546
01:09:42,344 --> 01:09:46,223
go and see his grandmother,
have tea with her.
1547
01:09:46,265 --> 01:09:49,977
She would introduce him
to aspects of her work.
1548
01:09:51,353 --> 01:09:53,939
- [Voiceover] Prince

with humble duty,
1561
01:10:25,137 --> 01:10:27,306
a future king,
1562
01:10:27,306 --> 01:10:30,226
the first born of
his Royal Highness
1563
01:10:30,267 --> 01:10:34,104
the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge,
1564
01:10:34,146 --> 01:10:37,775
the third in line to the throne.
1565
01:10:38,943 --> 01:10:42,905
(upbeat music)
1566
01:10:45,407 --> 01:10:47,243
- [Voiceover] Two years
after their wedding,
1567
01:10:47,284 --> 01:10:48,827
the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge
1568
01:10:48,869 --> 01:10:51,497
were delighted to announce the
birth of their first child,
1569
01:10:51,538 --> 01:10:54,124
George Alexander Louis,
1570
01:10:54,166 --> 01:10:57,127
on the 22nd of July 2013.
1571
01:10:57,169 --> 01:11:00,256
Their second child,
Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.
1572
01:11:00,297 --> 01:11:03,509
was born on the 2nd of May 2015.
1573
01:11:03,550 --> 01:11:06,428
Both children followed
a new royal tradition,
1574
01:11:06,470 --> 01:11:09,765
by being born at Saint
Mary's Hospital, Paddington.
1575
01:11:09,807 --> 01:11:13,310
(upbeat music)
1576
01:11:16,063 --> 01:11:18,190
- He's a very loving
and happy family man.
1577
01:11:18,190 --> 01:11:20,317
He adores his
little boy, George,
1578
01:11:20,359 --> 01:11:22,194
and new daughter, Charlotte.
1579
01:11:22,194 --> 01:11:24,029
There's no doubt that
the whole influence
1580
01:11:24,029 --> 01:11:26,282
of Kate has been great.
1581
01:11:26,323 --> 01:11:30,202
(gentle music)
1582
01:12:12,494 --> 01:12:16,415
(regal instrumental music)
1583
01:12:18,959 --> 01:12:20,336
- I think he's divine, actually.
1584
01:12:20,377 --> 01:12:21,962
- Oh, yes, smiles.
1585
01:12:22,004 --> 01:12:25,466
- He's so happy,
that's why we love him.
1586
01:12:25,507 --> 01:12:29,261
(crowd cheering)
1587
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:34,016
- [Voiceover] There is no
doubt that Prince Harry
1588
01:12:34,058 --> 01:12:36,101
has the common touch.
1589
01:12:36,143 --> 01:12:37,227
Ever since he was born
1590
01:12:37,269 --> 01:12:39,271
on the 15th of September 1984,
1591
01:12:39,271 --> 01:12:41,940
Harry has been known
for his impish humor
1592
01:12:41,982 --> 01:12:44,026
and ability to live
on the wild side.
1593
01:12:44,068 --> 01:12:46,487
After attending
Mrs. Mynor's School,
1594
01:12:46,528 --> 01:12:50,366
Prince Harry became a pupil
at Wetherby School in London,
1595
01:12:50,407 --> 01:12:52,242
and then joined his
older brother, William,
1596
01:12:52,284 --> 01:12:54,870
at Ludgrove School in Berkshire.
1597
01:12:54,912 --> 01:12:56,872
(engergetic music)
1598
01:12:56,914 --> 01:12:58,874
- [Voiceover] A guiding
hand from mum, at first,
1599
01:12:58,916 --> 01:13:01,418
as Prince Harry, in formal
blazer and trousers,
1600
01:13:01,460 --> 01:13:03,921
helps inspect a guard of honor,
1601
01:13:03,962 --> 01:13:06,298
then the transformation
into fatigues
1602
01:13:06,298 --> 01:13:09,968
and up the double for a taste
of life in the queen's army.
1603
01:13:10,010 --> 01:13:12,304
- Prince Harry, I think,
is the most natural
1604
01:13:12,346 --> 01:13:16,141
and honestly open person
1605
01:13:16,183 --> 01:13:17,476
that is a member
of the royal family
1606
01:13:17,476 --> 01:13:18,894
at this moment in time.
1607
01:13:18,936 --> 01:13:20,145
When he meets people,
they warm to him,
1608
01:13:20,145 --> 01:13:21,397
not because he's a
prince, necessarily,
1609
01:13:21,438 --> 01:13:23,941
but because of who
he is as a person.
1610
01:13:23,982 --> 01:13:26,944
(laughing)
1611
01:13:26,985 --> 01:13:29,196
(speaking softly)
1612
01:13:29,238 --> 01:13:32,408
- [Voiceover] It was his first
formal public engagement,
1613
01:13:32,449 --> 01:13:35,661
first chance to learn there
are some princely perks
1614
01:13:35,702 --> 01:13:37,496
when your mother is
commander-in-chief
1615
01:13:37,496 --> 01:13:39,289
of the light dragoons.
1616
01:13:39,331 --> 01:13:41,166
While he was off having fun,
1617
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:42,584
the princess was
telling the troops
1618
01:13:42,626 --> 01:13:45,963
her son is fascinated
with all things military.
1619
01:13:46,004 --> 01:13:47,423
Prince Harry joining in,
1620
01:13:47,464 --> 01:13:50,342
too young, yet,
to be joining up.
1621
01:13:50,342 --> 01:13:52,553
- [Voiceover] Prince Harry
also followed his brother,
1622
01:13:52,594 --> 01:13:55,055
William, to Eton College.
1623
01:13:56,140 --> 01:13:58,183
- He's a far more
serious-thinking guy
1624
01:13:58,225 --> 01:14:01,186
than people take him for.
1625
01:14:01,186 --> 01:14:02,980
He may not be
academically the most
1626
01:14:03,021 --> 01:14:06,942
accomplished, but this is a
guy that can fly helicopters.
1627
01:14:06,984 --> 01:14:09,111
He's been to the South Pole.
1628
01:14:09,153 --> 01:14:11,071
- [Voiceover] Eton's most
famous pupil returned
1629
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:12,489
to the classroom today,
1630
01:14:12,531 --> 01:14:14,450
but Prince Harry may
find it a little hard
1631
01:14:14,491 --> 01:14:16,368
to concentrate on his studies.
1632
01:14:16,410 --> 01:14:19,997
His weekend was spent coming
of age in every sense.
1633
01:14:20,038 --> 01:14:22,207
An 18th birthday
marked by his emergence
1634
01:14:22,207 --> 01:14:24,960
as the protector of
his mother's legacy
1635
01:14:25,002 --> 01:14:28,005
and as a royal figure
in his own right.
1636
01:14:28,046 --> 01:14:30,215
It was no coincidence
that the prince's
1637
01:14:30,257 --> 01:14:32,342
first solo engagement
should be a visit
1638
01:14:32,384 --> 01:14:34,219
to Great Ormond
Street in London.
1639
01:14:34,219 --> 01:14:36,472
Princess Diana was president
of the Children's Hospital
1640
01:14:36,513 --> 01:14:40,267
until her death just before
Harry's 13th birthday.
1641
01:14:40,309 --> 01:14:42,269
Five years on, he's
pledged to continue
1642
01:14:42,311 --> 01:14:44,354
the charitable work she started.
1643
01:14:44,396 --> 01:14:46,231
Harry's decision
to take an interest
1644
01:14:46,273 --> 01:14:48,150
in his mother's work
has been encouraged
1645
01:14:48,192 --> 01:14:50,235
by the Prince of Wales,
no doubt relieved
1646
01:14:50,277 --> 01:14:53,071
that his youngest son's
problems with drink and drugs
1647
01:14:53,113 --> 01:14:55,199
seem to be behind him.
1648
01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:57,576
- He certainly can
be, if you like,
1649
01:14:57,576 --> 01:15:00,037
a playboy prince
if he wants to be.
1650
01:15:00,078 --> 01:15:01,997
I think he's more
serious than that.
1651
01:15:02,039 --> 01:15:03,540
He's had his playboy moments.
1652
01:15:03,582 --> 01:15:06,001
I've had run-ins with
him where he's tried
1653
01:15:06,043 --> 01:15:07,753
to tick me off over stories.
1654
01:15:07,794 --> 01:15:10,172
- You sort of have the
three Harrys, really,
1655
01:15:10,214 --> 01:15:12,382
the sensitive little boy,
1656
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:15,093
the fighting man, and the idiot.
1657
01:15:15,135 --> 01:15:18,263
(crowd cheering)
1658
01:15:18,305 --> 01:15:21,266
And I think people love him
for all three of those things.
1659
01:15:21,308 --> 01:15:23,519
- He's probably the most popular
1660
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:25,187
member of the royal family
at this moment in time.
1661
01:15:25,229 --> 01:15:27,272
You wouldn't think it,
before going on camera
1662
01:15:27,272 --> 01:15:29,650
or before making a public
speech, he's very nervous,
1663
01:15:29,691 --> 01:15:32,569
but actually that adds
to his naturalness
1664
01:15:32,611 --> 01:15:34,279
and adds to the charm.
1665
01:15:34,279 --> 01:15:35,697
- Harry has his
more difficult job
1666
01:15:35,739 --> 01:15:38,700
of defning what a
spare should do,
1667
01:15:38,742 --> 01:15:40,536
and copying his mother,
who had a similiar
1668
01:15:40,577 --> 01:15:43,080
identity problem next
door to Prince Charles,
1669
01:15:43,121 --> 01:15:45,040
seems to be very shrewd.
1670
01:15:46,124 --> 01:15:48,210
- I think it's
probably very difficult
1671
01:15:48,252 --> 01:15:50,170
being the second son
because you don't
1672
01:15:50,212 --> 01:15:52,214
really have a defined role.
1673
01:15:52,256 --> 01:15:55,217
You're just the
duke or in the pack.
1674
01:15:55,259 --> 01:15:56,343
- Get this on camera.
1675
01:15:56,385 --> 01:15:57,553
(William yells)
1676
01:15:57,594 --> 01:15:59,346
- [Harry] You forgot
your boots. (laughs)
1677
01:15:59,388 --> 01:16:01,139
- Oh my God, that's
not a classic--
1678
01:16:01,181 --> 01:16:03,141
- You can use, borrow
my ones that Marcus got.
1679
01:16:03,183 --> 01:16:05,310
- The attention is
very much focused
1680
01:16:05,310 --> 01:16:09,064
on the eldest child,
as it was with William.
1681
01:16:09,106 --> 01:16:11,650
I mean, Diana made a
very conscious effort
1682
01:16:11,650 --> 01:16:13,318
not to allow that to happen,
1683
01:16:13,318 --> 01:16:14,695
but of course, it did.
1684
01:16:14,736 --> 01:16:17,239
- I'm not just doing it
for them, I always do it.
1685
01:16:17,281 --> 01:16:18,740
I always clean them.
1686
01:16:18,782 --> 01:16:21,326
I played yesterday, I
didn't have a chance.
1687
01:16:21,368 --> 01:16:22,786
(William laughs)
Get someone else
1688
01:16:22,828 --> 01:16:24,162
to do it for you.
1689
01:16:24,204 --> 01:16:25,581
(laughing)
1690
01:16:25,622 --> 01:16:29,334
(whimsical music)
1691
01:16:30,877 --> 01:16:34,590
(sports announcer
speaking softly)
1692
01:16:34,631 --> 01:16:36,133
- [Voiceover] Prince Harry,
1693
01:16:36,174 --> 01:16:37,759
Prince Harry shoots
and he's two --
1694
01:16:37,801 --> 01:16:39,595
- [Voiceover] After
completing A-levels,
1695
01:16:39,636 --> 01:16:41,346
he took a gap year.
1696
01:16:41,346 --> 01:16:42,764
It was during this
time, that Prince Harry
1697
01:16:42,806 --> 01:16:46,184
highlighted the plight
of orphans in Lesotho.
1698
01:16:46,226 --> 01:16:50,188
Prince Harry went on to
co-found the charity, Sentabale,
1699
01:16:50,230 --> 01:16:52,357
with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho,
1700
01:16:52,357 --> 01:16:54,484
in memory of their mothers.
1701
01:16:54,526 --> 01:16:56,278
Like all royal
princes, Harry decided
1702
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,697
to pursue a military
career by entering
1703
01:16:58,697 --> 01:17:02,492
the Royal Military Academy
in Sandhurst in 2005.
1704
01:17:02,534 --> 01:17:05,829
Harry was commissioned
in April 2006
1705
01:17:05,871 --> 01:17:08,624
as a second lieutenant
in the Household Cavalry,
1706
01:17:08,665 --> 01:17:10,292
Blues and Royals.
1707
01:17:10,334 --> 01:17:14,504
(helicopter blades whirling)
1708
01:17:14,546 --> 01:17:17,299
- We're very lucky
indeed to have
1709
01:17:17,341 --> 01:17:19,676
so many families, I
do, as a I meet them,
1710
01:17:19,718 --> 01:17:22,220
for instance you have
two or three sons
1711
01:17:22,262 --> 01:17:24,723
in the armed forces or one
kind or another, incredible.
1712
01:17:24,723 --> 01:17:27,559
As a parent, you
worry the whole time.
1713
01:17:27,559 --> 01:17:29,227
I think if you're
out here, perhaps,
1714
01:17:29,269 --> 01:17:31,229
you think you're getting
on with everything.
1715
01:17:31,271 --> 01:17:32,814
It's not the same, but I,
1716
01:17:32,856 --> 01:17:34,399
for everybody left behind,
1717
01:17:34,441 --> 01:17:36,401
it's ghastly.
1718
01:17:36,401 --> 01:17:39,738
(slow string music)
1719
01:17:41,239 --> 01:17:42,824
- [Voiceover] Despite
his father's reservations
1720
01:17:42,866 --> 01:17:45,410
for his safety, Prince
Harry saw active service
1721
01:17:45,410 --> 01:17:47,788
during two tours of Afghanistan,
1722
01:17:47,829 --> 01:17:49,831
finishing his second assignment
1723
01:17:49,873 --> 01:17:52,668
as an Apache helicopter
co-pilot and gunner.
1724
01:17:52,709 --> 01:17:54,920
- It wasn't done in the
wrong way, but it was just--
1725
01:17:54,961 --> 01:17:58,757
(slow instrumental music)
1726
01:18:06,973 --> 01:18:08,433
(gun fires)
1727
01:18:08,433 --> 01:18:10,227
I was always hoping
to get forward,
1728
01:18:10,268 --> 01:18:13,355
and I got here on Christmas eve,
1729
01:18:13,397 --> 01:18:17,192
and going from bullet magnet to
1730
01:18:17,234 --> 01:18:18,443
anti-bullet magnet,
1731
01:18:18,485 --> 01:18:20,195
mostly guys were pretty
bummed that I was here,
1732
01:18:20,237 --> 01:18:21,780
'cause nothing was
happening for the first
1733
01:18:21,780 --> 01:18:23,365
few days that I was here,
1734
01:18:23,407 --> 01:18:25,200
but things are
picking up again now.
1735
01:18:25,242 --> 01:18:26,785
(gun firing)
1736
01:18:26,785 --> 01:18:28,203
- [Voiceover] Do
you mean you have
1737
01:18:28,245 --> 01:18:29,454
and you will kill the enemy?
1738
01:18:29,496 --> 01:18:31,957
- Yeah, so a lot of people have.
1739
01:18:31,998 --> 01:18:33,792
We fire when we have to.
1740
01:18:33,792 --> 01:18:36,211
Take a life to save a life,
1741
01:18:36,253 --> 01:18:38,380
but the main thing for us is,
1742
01:18:38,422 --> 01:18:40,465
the tricky escorts,
if guys get injured.
1743
01:18:40,465 --> 01:18:42,259
We come straight
into the overhead,
1744
01:18:42,300 --> 01:18:45,220
puts off any possibility
of an insurgent attack
1745
01:18:45,262 --> 01:18:46,722
because they look
at us and just go,
1746
01:18:46,763 --> 01:18:48,306
"Right, that's an unfair fight.
1747
01:18:48,348 --> 01:18:49,725
"We're not going
to go in there."
1748
01:18:49,766 --> 01:18:52,519
- Harry became important
1749
01:18:52,561 --> 01:18:55,772
by being this big character
1750
01:18:55,814 --> 01:18:57,607
by being brave boy.
1751
01:18:57,649 --> 01:19:00,736
(slow instrumental music)
1752
01:19:00,777 --> 01:19:03,488
- This is my bed, I
don't even make it
1753
01:19:03,530 --> 01:19:05,323
when I'm done here,
just throw it,
1754
01:19:05,365 --> 01:19:06,658
that's it, made. (laughs)
1755
01:19:06,658 --> 01:19:08,785
(slow instrumental music)
1756
01:19:08,827 --> 01:19:11,246
- [Voiceover] Oh there it is.
1757
01:19:11,288 --> 01:19:14,291
(slow instrumental music)
1758
01:19:17,294 --> 01:19:19,504
- Harry is a party creature.
1759
01:19:19,504 --> 01:19:21,631
He always will be,
1760
01:19:21,673 --> 01:19:24,384
so obviously he's
gonna get called out.
1761
01:19:24,426 --> 01:19:27,304
He has walked out of night clubs
1762
01:19:27,345 --> 01:19:29,765
and smashed photographers.
1763
01:19:29,806 --> 01:19:31,683
- [Voiceover] Drunken
escapades and parties
1764
01:19:31,725 --> 01:19:33,435
have only made
Prince Harry appear
1765
01:19:33,477 --> 01:19:35,687
more like one of us.
1766
01:19:35,729 --> 01:19:39,399
But is he really more clown
prince than crown prince?
1767
01:19:39,441 --> 01:19:43,278
(upbeat music)
1768
01:19:43,862 --> 01:19:46,448
- Every misdemeanor
that Harry's had
1769
01:19:46,490 --> 01:19:48,533
has leaked out to the press
1770
01:19:48,533 --> 01:19:51,578
because we all want to
see Harry being Harry,
1771
01:19:51,620 --> 01:19:54,539
and then, of course,
there's the notorious strip
1772
01:19:54,539 --> 01:19:57,042
at Vegas, which was
1773
01:19:57,083 --> 01:19:58,794
really, really wild.
1774
01:19:58,835 --> 01:20:00,003
- It was probably
a classic example
1775
01:20:00,045 --> 01:20:01,546
of me probably
being too much army
1776
01:20:01,546 --> 01:20:03,298
and not enough prince.
1777
01:20:03,340 --> 01:20:04,341
I don't really want to get into
1778
01:20:04,382 --> 01:20:07,385
details of what I think of
what other people think.
1779
01:20:07,427 --> 01:20:08,970
At the end of the day,
1780
01:20:09,012 --> 01:20:10,388
I probably let myself down.
1781
01:20:10,430 --> 01:20:11,848
I let my family down.
1782
01:20:11,890 --> 01:20:13,391
I let other people down,
but at the end of the day
1783
01:20:13,433 --> 01:20:14,810
I was in a private area,
1784
01:20:14,851 --> 01:20:16,061
and there should
be a certain amount
1785
01:20:16,102 --> 01:20:17,938
of private privacy
that one should expect.
1786
01:20:17,979 --> 01:20:19,856
- He's in no hurry
to get married.
1787
01:20:19,898 --> 01:20:21,900
He doesn't have to,
the heat is off him
1788
01:20:21,900 --> 01:20:24,486
because William and
Kate have their babies,
1789
01:20:24,528 --> 01:20:27,823
and that whole situation
is now resolved,
1790
01:20:27,864 --> 01:20:29,741
in terms of the
line of succession.
1791
01:20:29,741 --> 01:20:32,869
(crowd laughing)
1792
01:20:33,578 --> 01:20:35,705
I'm sure that he would
want to find someone,
1793
01:20:35,747 --> 01:20:37,582
but he's equally
aware of how difficult
1794
01:20:37,582 --> 01:20:40,502
that role will be because she
will be under the spotlight
1795
01:20:40,544 --> 01:20:42,087
every second of the day.
1796
01:20:42,128 --> 01:20:45,090
- Chelsea and Cressida
both loved him very much,
1797
01:20:45,131 --> 01:20:48,969
and they both, probably,
felt differently about it,
1798
01:20:49,010 --> 01:20:53,431
but neither of them
fancied that kind of life.
1799
01:20:54,599 --> 01:20:57,477
The more family and children
1800
01:20:57,519 --> 01:20:59,604
that William and Kate have,
1801
01:20:59,646 --> 01:21:01,940
the more people are
gonna want naughty Harry.
1802
01:21:01,940 --> 01:21:04,860
- I can't wait to get back
and just sit on a sofa.
1803
01:21:04,901 --> 01:21:08,029
It's gonna be ridiculous after
bouncing around in a turret,
1804
01:21:08,071 --> 01:21:11,032
my hips are bruised,
my ass is bruised
1805
01:21:11,074 --> 01:21:13,535
because of the
turret, obviously.
1806
01:21:13,577 --> 01:21:16,538
- So, I don't see any respite
for him, I really don't.
1807
01:21:16,580 --> 01:21:18,874
I think people are
gonna want more of Harry
1808
01:21:18,915 --> 01:21:21,376
because he's still
the bachelor prince.
1809
01:21:21,418 --> 01:21:23,378
- [Voiceover] Prince Harry
rose to the rank of captain
1810
01:21:23,420 --> 01:21:26,923
before leaving the armed
forces in June 2015.
1811
01:21:26,965 --> 01:21:29,467
- In a statement issued
through Kensington Palace,
1812
01:21:29,509 --> 01:21:32,429
Prince Harry emphasizes
how hard a decision
1813
01:21:32,470 --> 01:21:35,015
it has been to move
on from the army.
1814
01:21:35,056 --> 01:21:37,392
- But when I've spoken to him,
he was saying quite clearly,
1815
01:21:37,434 --> 01:21:40,645
"I'm 30, I've reached my
time when most of my peers
1816
01:21:40,645 --> 01:21:42,814
"who joined the army
have already gone.
1817
01:21:42,856 --> 01:21:45,817
"It's probably time for me
to try and do other things."
1818
01:21:45,859 --> 01:21:48,153
- [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
