don't get too wank B was like just I

just need you straight for this it's

[Music]

important Sor you

hi hey uh you've been ringing me and

I've been rushed off my

feet you okay yeah yeah actually there

was something I wanted to talk to you

about but um now's not the

time you look as though oh I'm just

waiting for the

Kings yeah right sorry

I know about your

[Music]

book and on this the eve of my becoming

an

adult I cannot in all

conscience I will not continue to be

part of and to support an institution I

no longer believe in an an institution

that seems to have no place in in a

world striving to offer equality for all

whilst it cocoons itself in a a bubble

of privileged Prejudice and

primogeniture the monarchy is it's out

of date it's out of touch which is why I

and any right thinking person in this

country today should seriously ask is it

not time that the United Kingdom became

a

[Applause]

republic well she did like the DJ

apparently do we know who filmed this

and where is Princess Isabelle we've

been trying to get in touch with her

since she left the palace last night so

her mobile switched off we'll keep

trying as soon as she aners Security

will be able to get a rough fix on her

anything else I've heard calls from all

the Nationals ITN Sky News BBC Al jazer

it's feeding time at the zoo we don't

comment absolutely not sir well I

shouldn't

have did anyone see this coming did I

did we do anything

to Abby what do you

think I think you need to talk to us huh

she listens to

you okay well thank

you hey well that's princess Isabelle

for you keeping us all

real an an institution that seems to

have no place in in a world striving to

offer equality for all while cocoons

itself there is you saw that when I

zoomed in on striving for equality for

all I totally think that pinged it right

up you know what I have this

thought they're going to come for me

they're going to find

me they'll get you too they've got bis

and [ __ ] what are they going to

do

serious and will the palace comment on

it I doubt it ma'am it's definitely her

and it's recorded hard to denied really

well we should say something to make us

look supportive I thought of some quotes

for tonight's standard yes she may have

a point about the sexism of the

Constitution but this is not the way to

air etc etc yes well done but that's

obvious stuff there's a much better

angle if only we can properly place it

for example who wrote the speech well

I'm presuming the princess wrote it ma'

oh God no major Brooks we know the

princess wrote it had pain in the old

teenager and every chippy wine I'm

suggesting that we get the papers to ask

if somebody else might have written it

let's say the king might have written

it

right words he couldn't say himself so

he got her

to

a his wife saying he'd like you to take

over go there in the

end excuse

me Abigail again I take it why does she

keep ringing you I have no

idea it's irritating I'm sorry ma'am

you see how annoying it is when you ring

and ring and ring and the other person

just never gets back to you how'd you

know I took a copy from your computer

you broke into my apartment Simon whoa

whoa you're not going to get all

indignant with me are you because I sort

of thought that was my territory you

know that how could you

stuff I know how you feel how you feel

for him and where that puts

me we can't talk here

[Music]

so what are you going to

do I don't

know what would you do

Simon is it's just something I toyed

with while he was the prince of Wales

I'm not writing it now I'm not

interested in anything like that and I

don't know what you think it says about

you I mean that's that's just crazy

Simon don't tell

him

please sorry sorry don't want to get in

the way um but the king wants

you have you uh seen that why what you

done now nothing and I mean nothing all

a stuff still in a locker but the

princess has got a new dresser and no

one's seen her for ages

and I rang and her phone is

dead maybe she was right maybe she knew

stuff this is one paper but it's the

first it's nonsense of course but it's a

superb story for them and tomorrow's

papers will follow well so we starve

them of oxygen if I is you any kind of

rebattle I'm feeling it you IGN know

them you're fueling it turn on itm now

oh

great so far the palace has failed to

make a statement regarding the

princess's comments at her birthday

party at one stage the princess stumbled

as she attempted to evade a photographer

as she got to her feet she held the palm

of her hand up to a news camera to

reveal the word imposter clearly written

across it why is she doing this to us I

mean she looks like she's completely

lost it

s with the utmost respect I think that

may be the

case what do you mean so it looks to me

and I suspect it looks to a lot of

people as if she's having some sort of

breakdown we know she's had some drug

problems in the past and her drinking

seems a lot heavier

maybe maybe a statement of that effect

focusing more on that might take the

heed off what she said you want me to

say that she's mad no she's mad for

saying this is all ludicrous really

she's a scared and confused little girl

who needs our support and you know she's

my sister and where in the bloody hell

is

Abigail right here sir sorry sorry they

want me to release a statement saying

that I he's having a breakdown and that

she's lost the plot right right now

plot right now princess Isabelle is a

liability to herself and to you sir she

needs to realize that her actions have

consequences it's a smash back on the

wrist we give her an excuse for her

actions we give you a chance to kill the

story so I'm not trying to hurt the

princess I'm trying to protect all of

you you need to speak to her before you

release any kind of statement or we

don't know what she would do sir

princess Isabelle's reactions we can

deal with but we need to act decisively

if we have to Scotch this story if this

turns into a national debate it could

jeopardize everything yeah Peter she

left the bar in a cab and got out at

battery which correlates with a mobile

call you made unfortunately we can only

narrow it down to about one of 20

streets so she's in someone's house then

someone must know yes sir and we'll find

her but it takes time

yeah

sir I've taken the liberty of preparing

this now if we want to make the first

addition we move

Izzy it's me listen uh I speak to you

it's very urgent

sir uh just call me as soon as you pick

this

up lots of love

[Music]

[Music]

hi Simon it's me

um well um just wanted to see how you

were really and um if you wanted to talk

so call

me anytime time

[Music]

this should just make the first

additions good night

[Music]

Sir

is

is wake

up what

[Applause]

what it's ridiculous I know B I'm not

mad I know you're not mad [ __ ] I told

you they'd come for me if you got your

phone they think I've losted they're the

ones who are going to bloody lose

it the news of the world at the moment

although she'll sell to the highest

bidder she says she needed the money if

she's to come off the Civil list there

was always the risk she'd turn to the

press and what's the

story why she isn't mad but why all her

family are um it's an

expose every tiny

detail color your underwear You Name It

We should have I should have spoken to

her before I released a statement you

were right and now she's got us all

running around in circles I don't know

why why do I listen to you two I stand

by my concerns about the princess sir

yeah yeah I bet you do what with your

medical training and degree in

Psychiatry I can't believe anyone would

ever bloody doubt

you damn

it we found her it was dark so she

couldn't be sure but there was a van

parked out inside the cold

store bastards and she only got a

fleeting glimpse of they stuck her in

where she swears it was not in between

two

guys in black suits oh no she knew too

much didn't she she knew too much

bizarre because I've always thought of

Izzy as a sort of art history sociology

sort of a girl who would have thought

she actually had a brain indeed but it's

getting tiresome now all this stuff

about republics is becoming a liability

to me as well she needs to be quiet and

now any ideas well nobody can find her I

mean we can't risk playing with the

Press again and whilst I'm keeping tabs

on the pp yes I know all

that it's all a bit above your station

isn't

it well I'll go and sort it out all by

myself then thanks

brilliant ma'am

look I I won't tell anybody

okay

okay I just read the book and I I

was I was

shocked you know bit

disappointed I won't tell any

anybody God you know these people you

you work here too long and you start

thinking and behaving

and this stuff princess Isabelle is

saying it's quite close to the Bone H

yeah you know I I really can't work out

if princess elanar is just in one of her

moods or I'm just being paranoid

or how about we just

quit we quit

yeah just

leave set up

together public relations or something I

mean they shedloads of money in

corporate

PR Thomas

Brooks what do you think Sans all money

don't you

think you we

could we could write the rest of the

book book

together I've got stuff on the princess

that I'll make your ears bleed

what do you

say

yeah yeah sure why

not yeah

right I just look you surprising no

don't no it it could work I hadn't

thought about it but maybe Abby Please

Don't Pity Me God woman I wasn't you

know because if I'm wasting my time here

and you're just going to humor me then

you know then I will go to The King and

I will tell him what you've done yes

Simon

no is she

here Majesty yes

she's

[Music]

Izzy

mommy this some

this business with Izzy is so

upsetting what can I do for you actually

it was Izzy I wanted to talk to you

about

really I'm struggling to see how you

could use her Misfortune to your

advantage God you've got to stop her

rich is just he's soft on is he and I'm

not well you know what this family needs

she's getting dangerous Mommy she needs

you to control

[Music]

her I mean you did what you did because

you had to that's the problem rich I

mean what it does to us what it takes

from

us it's ironic actually because everyone

thinks we have everything but actually

we have

nothing we have nothing we have nothing

of any value because it steals our

choices and our purpose and our reality

I mean haven't you ever wanted to just

walk into a room and know that people

like you because you're nice rich and

you are you're really

nice or because you're a laugh and

you're really funny and you are funny

but

Izzy they just like you cuz your

family haven't you ever just been

desperate like really desperate to be

denied stuff and just to be told to shut

up and just make mistakes and learn hard

lessons and be friends with who you want

to be friends with and love just love

who you really really want to love

that's all I ever

[Music]

wanted Jenny from fision said that not

went into Princess Elena's apartment one

night and saw

her what in the

ACT I didn't think the princess ever did

it but then I spoke to Billy from the

West Kate and he said he said it was

much worse than that

he worse

that was there

too no you don't know the heart of

it what it's true oh it's more than

true if I tell you I could be putting

you in danger too come and see me later

[Music]

[Applause]

tomorrow's papers will all lead with the

same story about the princess in

addition we have several news stories

for television and radio which examine

her comments woman's iron Radio 4 is

running a right thank you there's lots

of bad press we get

it I he shattered just needs time with

us I think her condition is worse than

that sir yes Dr Ian thank

you I have talked to a doctor here I

asked him to doctor

Hooper oh yeah of course Dr Hooper the

family doctor doctor I'll give you some

pills and keep my mouth shut Ian go away

I don't need any more of you right

now yes your

majesty God that man sometimes I know he

means well but sometimes he he's worried

about Isabel look I'm not having Hooper

examining is he'll just freak her out

even more he feels exactly the same way

in fact he thinks the most important

thing is to start treatment as soon as

possible

treatment for what he hasn't even seen

her he knows her he's known her all her

life yeah but he hasn't exactly examined

her has he yes but he's seen the footage

he's well aware of her problems in the

past and he's very clear on her problem

now well which

is Dr Hooper feels that Isabelle is

displaying all the symptoms of a a oh an

acronym now that's bad acute anxi y

syndrome it's completely treatable

intensive one-on-one therapy the

security of a fixed

environment impatient care that's what

she needs yeah like she's going to agree

to that in a million years she needs to

be asked and if she

won't you'd make her

go for her own good you want to section

your own daughter we want to help her

rich he doesn't think it would take too

long maybe maybe a few weeks oh well

that's handy just to the coronation no

that that's not fair that's not right

George can you believe this this is for

Izzy she needs proper medical attention

from a hoopa well I'm not I won't have

it this is

ridiculous I need to talk to you need to

talk to your family no let's get Abby in

here let's see what she has to say about

this stop acting like you're the only

one that cares about her she needs us

doesn't she not to be locked up in some

bloody Nut House oh and you can look

after her can you with everything else

that's going

on and you know exactly what's going to

make her

better she needs to be in a place of

safety that is your responsibility as

her

brother that is your duty as our

King you can't just barge in to see the

king now stop it somebody has to talk

some sense into him we have a duty to

the king we have a duty to this family

don't Ian I'm sure you've got a

wonderfully developed sense of morality

that lets you see just what is right and

what is wrong but I'm fighting fighting

to protect my king and God help me I'm

struggling

to but he has to make the right decision

for all of

us Simon hi

hello it's all getting a bit isn't it

yes well uh we'll get there in the end

would you excuse me

sure we can't talk here I need to see

you outside the palace we can switch off

our phones just talk work it out just

let me have one more chance when this

isn't all flying around our heads you

know and we can just we can just

talk you'll always choose him over me no

no you don't know that you okay tonight

bottle of red

I'll come over to yours we'll work it

out

okay it's night yeah

[Music]

yeah maybe she just needs a family

around her and maybe I'm just trying to

make the picture fit because it's

convenient right now to have her out the

way cuz she's being a pain in the ass

one know she's being more than a pain in

the

ass you I don't know would everyone be

really telling me to do this if the

coronation wasn't just around the corner

or am I just scared of admitting that

she's she's really sick and and she

needs

help you know the truth is I just don't

know but putting her in a hospital

sectioning her I

mean it's too

awful doct Hooper good to see you I have

no idea what the right thing to do

is your majesty princess

Isabelle Izzy hello ma'am no uh Isabelle

vodka good idea Abby uh I think I should

go sir uh no no stay please really you
