1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074
2
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,360
[Lascelles] As His Majesty the King
has not yet produced a male successor,
3
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,520
nor do we at this stage expect one,
4
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,120
the decision has been taken to start
preparing you in earnest for the Crown.
5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,080
From this moment on,
6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,080
you will no longer be
the heir presumptive,
7
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,680
but the heir apparent,
and your life will be quite different.
8
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,680
You will not be able
to travel unaccompanied,
9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,520
nor to socialize as freely.
10
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Your father, the King, had little
or no time to prepare for the throne,
11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,400
which was thrust upon him.
12
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,400
We will not be caught out again.
13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,160
The Crown is not just an ornament
to be worn.
14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,520
It is a privilege and a burden,
15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,120
which comes with formidable expectations
and responsibilities.
16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,760
[door opens]
17
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,600
I don't think I can do it.
18
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,680
[Margaret] I could.
19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,080
I know you could.
20
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:35,680
[Margaret] I'd love every minute.
21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:39,520
To be on every coin, on every banknote,
22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,840
to be the most famous woman
in the world.
23
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:43,960
I'd be so very good at it.
24
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Wearing a big crown,
giving everyone orders.
25
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Yes.
26
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,800
Then tell them,
27
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,000
"Margaret Rose can do it."
28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,520
Margaret Rose wants to do it.
29
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,160
"Margaret Rose was born to do it."
30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:06,920
You were.
31
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:09,960
Then let me speak to them tomorrow.
32
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,200
It would be the best thing for both of us.
33
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,400
All right.
34
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960
[Margaret chuckles] Good.
35
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,960
[crowd cheers]
36
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,000
[cheering]
37
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,320
[Elizabeth] Hello, you.
38
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,360
Your Majesty.
39
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Just come to wish you a bon voyage
and to thank you.
40
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,080
What for?
41
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640
For agreeing to squeeze in
so many public engagements
42
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,480
on what is essentially a private trip.
43
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,320
- And for flying this way, commercially.
- [Margaret] Well, it's not so bad.
44
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,440
They've cleared out the first-class cabin
just for us.
45
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,960
What's the first stop? New York?
46
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,400
Uh, San Francisco. Then Los Angeles.
47
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,040
Then five days
with the Douglases in Arizona.
48
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,840
How lovely.
49
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,880
Then on to New York,
where Tony is promoting his book.
50
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,360
- You've written a book?
- Uh, a book of my photographs.
51
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Oh, you are clever.
52
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,760
You must make time to really relax, too.
53
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,280
[Margaret] We will.
54
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,080
Be good to one another.
Kind to one another.
55
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Both of you.
56
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,480
[Margaret]
Sad she felt the need to say that.
57
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,440
[Tony] What?
58
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,000
"Be good to one another.
Kind to one another. Both of you."
59
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,440
[sighs] It was a little clumsy.
60
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,200
But she means well.
61
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,880
The two of us...
62
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,000
we're complicated.
63
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,320
She and I are complicated.
64
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,440
[Tony] It's true.
65
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Elder sister, younger sister.
66
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Number one and number two.
67
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,240
Who's number one?
68
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,720
You. Of course.
69
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:44,080
A natural number one whose tragedy it is
to have been born number two.
70
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Hmm. That is my burden.
71
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,120
She knows it, too.
72
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,720
Yes, I think she does.
73
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,920
- [speaker beeps]
- That's her burden.
74
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280
[announcer] Welcome aboardthis BOAC flight to San Francisco.
75
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,080
Please take your seats and relax.
76
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,400
We're now ready for departure
and will be taxiing shortly.
77
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,480
We'd like to take this opportunity
to wish you a very pleasant flight.
78
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,160
- [soldier] Ten-hut!
- [feet stamp]
79
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,400
Good morning, Mr. Ambassador.
80
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,720
[Dean]
Economically, as you know, Marvin,
81
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200
the United Kingdom is right up against it.
82
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,320
It's seeing a terrifying run on sterling,
83
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040
and our credit from the IMF
is about to expire.
84
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,640
Now, the Prime Minister
has made several attempts
85
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,240
to speak to the President
about another bailout,
86
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,000
a rescue package.
87
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,000
But the President refuses
to take his call.
88
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,800
[Watson] President Johnson is a busy man.
89
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Too busy to talk to his oldest ally?
90
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,240
Historically, the holder of this office
91
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,280
has the warmest relationship
with Downing Street.
92
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,280
Think of Churchill and Roosevelt,
93
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,640
or Truman and Attlee. Macmillan and JFK.
94
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520
No need to keep mentioning
Jack Kennedy like that.
95
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,880
Keep mentioning?
96
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,240
It's just provocative.
97
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:37,960
Unhelpful.
98
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,640
President Johnson is his own man.
99
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Well, of course.
100
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,840
I mentioned it only in the context
of our leaders
101
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
standing shoulder to shoulder
in times of difficulty.
102
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Morning, Prime Minister.
103
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,880
[Dean]
The United Kingdom and the United States.
104
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,240
Historically, it's like a marriage.
105
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,400
Will you talk to him?
106
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720
No! Screw the Brits!
I don't like 'em. I never liked 'em.
107
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760
If they're not looking down at you
through their noses,
108
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,560
they're holding their hands out
like beggars.
109
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,960
And I don't give a crap
about any special relationship.
110
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Harold Wilson wants my help,
he should have thought about that
111
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,160
when he refused
to support me over Vietnam.
112
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,720
You can't screw a man in the ass
and then expect him to buy you flowers!
113
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,400
- The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
114
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Prime Minister.
115
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:44,280
Uh, I'm sure that it did not
escape your attention
116
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,760
that President Johnson failed to attend
Mr. Winston's funeral.
117
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Yes, on account of a cold.
118
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,280
Well, that was the explanation
the White House gave,
119
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,640
but it persuaded no one.
120
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Uh... I fear that the President
may have taken against me
121
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,560
for what he sees as my failure
to support him over Vietnam.
122
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,360
And I wondered... [coughs]
123
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,720
[clears throat] ...in the past,
124
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,320
the royal family
has been extremely helpful
125
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,920
in keeping
the special relationship afloat.
126
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,560
And given the...
127
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,280
predicament the country
finds itself in economically...
128
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,160
You'd like us to roll out the red carpet.
Make a bit of a fuss.
129
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Please.
130
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:35,680
All right.
131
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,840
I shall consult the Three Wise Men.
See what they have to say.
132
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,160
Thank you, ma'am.
133
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000
[photographer 1] Welcome to San Francisco!
134
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,760
Margaret! Margaret, over here! Over here!
135
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,280
[photographer 2] Picture, right this way!
Thank you, Margaret.
136
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,560
[Tony] "What we have witnessedin Princess Margaret"
137
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,440
is a more vibrant, modern,
and engaging version of her older sister."
138
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,120
[chuckles] Quite right.
139
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,800
[Tony] "To those accustomed tothe formality of traditional royal visits,"
140
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,880
meeting Princess Margaret has been
like going from a black-and-white film
141
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,520
"to one in color."
142
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,360
What about a state dinner,
143
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,560
like the one held
for Woodrow Wilson in 1918?
144
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,200
Or a weekend at Windsor Castle?
145
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,160
The important thing here, I'm told,
146
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,440
is that whatever we offer
President Johnson,
147
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,200
it must exceed
whatever we gave the Kennedys.
148
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,400
["When You're Smiling" playing]
149
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,680
[reporter 1]
Hey, we wanted to see the Queen!
150
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,280
[Margaret] You're seeing something
better than the Queen!
151
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,640
[reporter 2] What do you think is the main
difference between Britain and America?
152
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800
[Margaret] Well, my sister isn't
on the banknotes here!
153
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,760
[laughter]
154
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,520
[reporter 3] What are you most
looking forward to in America?
155
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Liberty!
156
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,440
- [crowd cheers]
- [woman] We love you, Princess Margaret!

[camera clicks]
158
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,720
? Be happy again ?
159
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,040
? Keep on smiling ?
160
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,960
? 'Cause when you're smiling ?
161
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,320
? The whole world ?
162
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,040
? Smiles with you ?
163
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,520
Keep smiling, darling.

[Elizabeth]
What news of Princess Margaret?
165
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,360
After three days in San Francisco,
166
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,480
Her Royal Highness
has safely arrived in Los Angeles.
167
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,280
Any disasters I should be aware of?
168
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,200
No, on the contrary, the trip seems
to have been a great success.
169
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,000
Really?
170
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,360
[Charteris] There's rave reviewsin all the newspapers...

With even a name having been coined
for the multitude of fans and well-wishers

who have followed her
every step of the way.

- Which is?
- Margaretologists.

- [Charteris] Yes, ma'am.

00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,960
Fans who have delighted
178
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,120
in Her Royal Highness's intelligence
and articulacy, her beauty
179
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,840
and charm, with one newspaper,
The San Francisco Chronicle,
180
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:47,920
even going so far as...
181
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,240
- Yes, all right. Thank you, Martin.
- Uh, yes, ma'am.
182
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,800
I'm a queen, not a saint.
183
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,880
[Tony] That's it. Try not to smile.
184
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,520
[laughter]
185
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,880
[laughs]
186
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,160
[Tony] I gave it!
187
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Not once, not twice, but three times,
and you ignored it!
188
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,320
[Margaret] What?
189
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,680
The signal!
190
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,640
Our signal that I wanted to leave.
191
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,120
[Margaret] I didn't see it.
192
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,960
You know as well as I
that if you are the guest of honor,
193
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,560
you cannot just leave.
194
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,200
In the course of our marriage,
I have lost count of the number of times
195
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,200
you've walked out as "guest of honor."
196
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,240
- Once or twice.
- All the bloody time.
197
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920
- When it's dreary.
- When it suits you!
198
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520
When the people are ugly and dull.
199
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,800
These people were amusing and attractive.
200
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,040
And they made me feel good.
201
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280
No, no, no, no.
The alcohol made you feel good...
202
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,200
and blunted your judgment
203
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,720
to the sycophancy
of the people surrounding you.
204
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,560
[Margaret] Is that right?
205
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,440
- [Tony] Yes. Keys.
- Well...
206
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,200
sadly, it's not blunted my judgment
207
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,960
to your mean-spiritedness
and jealousy and...
208
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,800
general pusillanimity...
209
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,120
pusinalamn...
210
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,400
Small-mindedness.
211
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,200
[Margaret] I don't recognize this.
212
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,640
Hmm.
213
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,440
Come to think of it,
I don't recognize you.
214
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Actually... [chuckles]
215
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,080
Nor did anyone else!
216
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
I mean, if we're honest...
217
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,240
[chuckles]
218
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Isn't that the real problem here, hmm?
219
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,240
[in American accent] Oh, I'm sorry.
220
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,080
A-A-And... and you are... Tony who?
221
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Oh, yeah! The husband guy.
222
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,600
It's not easy, sometimes.
223
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,400
What is not easy?
224
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,840
Being second fiddle to a pygmy princess.
225
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,200
Don't talk to me
about being a second fiddle.
226
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,000
I get so little limelight.
227
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,960
[laughs loudly]
228
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,080
No, it's the price I pay
for the sister I have.
229
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:21,240
But if the opportunity should once arise
for me to shine,
230
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,160
I'd appreciate you putting aside
the competitive little narcissist
231
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,360
that rages within you...
232
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,280
and letting me savor it.
233
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,720
[shoe falls]
234
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,720
I promise...
235
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,960
that once we get to New York,
236
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040
the spotlight will be entirely on you,
237
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,880
and your book.
238
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,640
I'll take a back seat
239
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040
and be the adoring
and supportive number two
240
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,000
you want me to be.
241
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,480
And nothing will make me happier.
242
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,480
[car approaches]
243
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800
[Johnson] Now, you can tell meall you want that 50,000,
244
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,000
hell, 100,000 more boots on the ground
are going to resolve this.
245
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,480
But I put 100,000 more men in there,
246
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,520
who's to say that Ho Chi Minh
isn't gonna put 100,000 more?
247
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,680
A man can't fight if he can't see daylight
at the end of the road.
248
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840
I wanna see solutions, gentlemen,
solutions.
249
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Not more numbers!
250
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,080
By God, I will not be
the first American president
251
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,960
to lose a goddamn war!
252
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400
- [knocking at door]
- [door opens]
253
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,560
- That'll be all.
- Yes, sir, Mr. President.
254
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,680
[Johnson sighs]
255
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Thank you.
256
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,120
What is this?
257
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,560
[Watson] A peace offering from the Brits,
hoping to secure the bailout.
258
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,360
- A weekend shooting at Balmoral?
- Yes, sir. That's as good as it gets.
259
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,480
Even Kennedy never got that.
260
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Really?
261
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,120
He got a banquet, a Naval Guard of Honor,
but never a weekend shooting in Scotland.
262
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,680
No one has gotten that.
263
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,080
Hmm.
264
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,440
[sighs] Still...
265
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,720
that's a long flight,
266
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,360
followed by a long drive...
267
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,520
staying in some creepy haunted castle.
268
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,160
- [Watson chuckles]
- The weather's terrible.
269
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,320
[sighs] And it would involve
making small talk to fancy people.
270
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,920
Then when you go shooting,
271
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,560
there's rules,
things you do and don't do,
272
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,920
which would involve research
and learning...
273
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,600
cutting my nails...
274
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:06,599
and I'd still get it all wrong.
275
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,319
And then everybody would laugh at me
and they'd say I wasn't no Jack Kennedy,
276
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,800
who would know exactly which knife
and fork to use and which bird to shoot.
277
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,359
- So, my position has not changed.
- Hmm.
278
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,079
It is still,
"No, thank you, Your Majesty."
279
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,840
Tomorrow, there's the reception given
by the Council of Engineering Institutions
280
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,080
at the Science Museum,
281
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,960
followed by an audience with
His Excellency Gu�mundur Gu�mundsson,
282
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,800
the new ambassador
for the Republic of Iceland.
283
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,960
Thank you, Michael.
And where are we with President Johnson?
284
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,880
Ah, we went back offering
a weekend shooting in Balmoral.
285
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,080
Did we? Lucky LBJ.
We don't get enough of those ourselves.
286
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,760
- And?
- No response, ma'am.
287
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,120
- What?
- Nothing. Complete silence.
288
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,440
- That's a first.
- Yes.
289
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,440
And probably not
what Downing Street was hoping for.
290
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,680
- Is everyone panicking?
- Slightly.
291
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,120
- What about Princess Margaret?
- Oh, safely arrived in Arizona, ma'am.
292
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,280
Oh, well, that's something.
At the Douglas family ranch?
293
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:11,160
- Yes.
- I've never been.
294
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,520
- What do we know about it?
- They say it's quite something.
295
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,200
A beautiful 19th-century country house
set under the Santa Rita mountains,
296
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,720
in miles and miles of wide-open desert.
297
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,320
[horse neighs]
298
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,640
- [Margaret coughs]
- Tony!
299
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,920
- Tony.
- Brace yourselves.
300
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,600
Come along, darling.
301
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,120
- Your Royal Highness.
- Your Royal Highness.
302
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,360
[Margaret] No, Blinkie, no kissing. Germs!
303
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,240
[coughs]
304
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,640
[Tony] She's exhausted, poor thing.
305
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,160
[groans]
306
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,680
- I look hideous.
- [Tony] No.
307
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Ghastly.
308
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,640
You look a bit tired.
309
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,720
A bit coldy.
310
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,160
It's only to be expected after your...
311
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,040
heroics.
312
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,440
You hated every minute, didn't you?
313
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Maybe.
314
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,200
But that's irrelevant.
315
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,920
The newspapers didn't.
316
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,800
Page after page
about how extraordinary you were,
317
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,840
what an asset to the Crown,
how underused you are,
318
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,360
what a secret weapon,
how deserving you are of the spotlight.
319
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,880
- Your elder sister eclipsed and outshone.
- Darling.
320
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,600
- And now you must sleep.
- Hmm? What will you do?
321
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840
Be a good guest and sing for our supper.
322
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,440
- So rest.
- I will.
323
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,720
And get well for New York.
324
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,960
[door opens]
325
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:29,360
[door closes]
326
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,600
[Watson] Mr. President, I just got off
the phone with our ambassador in London,
327
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,680
who just got off the phone
with the Prime Minister,
328
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,160
- who got off the phone with the Queen.
- Don't tell me, everybody's pissed.
329
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,560
The general view seems to be
330
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,080
that if you have a quarrel
with the Prime Minister,
331
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,000
that's one thing,
but no one gets to insult the Crown, sir.
332
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,040
- [urinates]
- It's like, uh, treason or something.
333
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,360
How have I insulted the Crown?
334
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,640
By not accepting
the Queen's invitation, sir.
335
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,680
Well, I didn't refuse.
336
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,560
I just haven't replied.
337
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,760
Well, now, don't you do this, Marvin.
338
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,920
You're my Chief of Staff,
you're supposed to have my back.
339
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,400
Don't you get suckered into this.
340
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,280
You know, they got this
whole thing going on over there,
341
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,200
Head of State, Prime Minister,
Buckingham Palace,
342
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,480
Downing Street, it's like a double act,
like tag-team wrestling.
343
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,040
One of 'em gets in trouble,
the other jumps in to bail 'em out.
344
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:28,320
Wilson screws me over Vietnam,
345
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,080
and she jumps in to make it all good
with some bird-shoot bullshit.
346
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,640
We don't have that here.
347
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,480
[Watson] No, sir.
348
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,640
[zips up fly]
349
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,120
The buck stops with me.
350
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:42,880
Who the hell am I supposed to call
351
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,520
if I want to issue an invitation
to get me out of trouble?
352
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,600
[Watson] Well, you call me, sir,
your oldest friend.
353
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840
I'd come up with a sensible plan
to get us all out of trouble.
354
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,240
All right. Come up with a plan.
355
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Well, sir, I just did.
356
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,280
This is the plan, right here.
357
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,160
Who in God's name is that?
358
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,080
[man on TV]
They came to land at Oakland Airport,
359
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,120
and here, as in San Francisco,
360
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,560
crowds met and cheered them
everywhere they went.
361
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,320
The Princess was radiant,
obviously enjoying herself.
362
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,000
It wasn't long before her sparkle cast
an informal atmosphere over the occasion.
363
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,080
The American people and their press
have warmed to the couple,
364
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,960
enchanted by the natural display
of charm and friendliness.
365
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,560
Prime Minister for you, ma'am.
366
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,040
Said it was urgent.
367
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,480
Prime Minister?
368
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,880
[Wilson] Just to say, we've finally hada response from the Americans, ma'am.
369
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,440
They've come back
with an invitation of their own.
370
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,000
To dinner at the White House.
371
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,840
- For me?
- No, for Princess Margaret.
372
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,000
- Oh, that's cunning.
- Uh, yes.
373
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,280
That way, President Johnson
can't be accused of snubbing my offer.
374
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,560
No.
375
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,480
It also side-steps
the all-important issue of the bailout.
376
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,320
Indeed.
377
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:10,320
But we think not all is lost,
378
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720
that Princess Margaret should
accept the invitation,
379
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,480
go to the White House,
380
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,640
and use the occasion
381
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,320
to win over hearts and minds
to the British cause.
382
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,120
It would be a political engagement
of the utmost delicacy.
383
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,360
For which you want
to send Princess Margaret?
384
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,680
Yes, well, that had been my reaction.
385
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,440
But her trip to America has been
a terrific success.
386
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,520
So I gather.
387
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,360
So, will you ask her?
388
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,400
If those are my instructions.
389
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,800
Please.
390
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,600
Well, well.
391
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,720
I suppose the situation is so dire,
there's really nothing to lose.
392
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,200
He doesn't know my sister.
393
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,680
[Charteris] Hmm.
394
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,920
Ma'am.
395
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,560
- [knocking at door]
- [door opens]
396
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,720
[Margaret] No!
397
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,120
- [Blinkie] Your Royal Highness?
- No!
398
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240
- [Blinkie] Telephone for you.
- No!
399
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,840
[Blinkie] It's the Queen.
400
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,680
[sighs]
401
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,880
[groans]
402
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,240
- [lighter clicks]
- Hello, you.
403
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:39,120
Hello, you.
404
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,440
Sorry to disturb.
405
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,120
I know you're on holiday,
so you won't want to hear this.
406
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,400
What?
407
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,280
We've had an invitation
from the White House
408
00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:49,760
for you to go to Washington
409
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,320
and have dinner with the President
and the First Lady,
410
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,600
and we'd like you to attend.
411
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
- When?
- This Wednesday.
412
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,680
Oh. Can't.
413
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Why not?
414
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,520
I'm going to be in New York.
415
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:06,360
For Tony's book launch.
416
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,240
Perhaps I should make it clear.
417
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,680
There is rather a lot riding on it,
418
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,760
and everyone is keen, very keen,
for you to go.
419
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,240
Perhaps I should make it clear
420
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,440
that nothing is going to stop me
from supporting my husband,
421
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,960
just like you asked me to.
422
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,200
- [dial tone]
- Margaret!
423
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,920
[Elizabeth] "Dear Margaret,"
424
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,720
as a wife, I understand your desire
to support Tony.
425
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,720
You know that it was my honest hope
426
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,840
that on this trip
you would both find the opportunity
427
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,520
to be more courteous,
428
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,880
more encouraging to each other.
429
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,160
But for now,
such considerations must be put aside.
430
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,680
I have asked you this once as a sister,
431
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,640
"and now I must command it
as your Queen."
432
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,600
Your Royal Highness. Sir.
Thank you so much for agreeing to this.
433
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,120
The most recent list
of people attending the dinner,
434
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,200
with some brief biographies
of those expected to sit close to you.
435
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,920
[Elizabeth] "What I'm asking you to do"
436
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,360
amounts to much more
than simply attending a dinner.
437
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,200
Currently, there are matters pertaining
to this country's future prosperity
438
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,200
that require a concerted effort
on our part.
439
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,240
We must heal the divisions
that are emerging
440
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,320
between Britain and its American cousins.
441
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,400
You've often lamented
that you have nothing to do,
442
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,920
that you are a wasted resource.
443
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,960
Well, the task you are embarking on today
could not be more crucial.
444
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,160
Britain currently has a deficit
of �800 million.
445
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,240
What we need is a bailout
of at least �1,000 million.
446
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,880
Only the Americans can give it to us.
447
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,320
I know you like
to do things your own way.
448
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:46,160
But this is a diplomatic mission
of the highest sensitivity.
449
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480
And I would urge you, for once,
450
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,840
"to play things by the book."
451
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,640
Ready?
452
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,640
[Margaret] What happens if I fail?
453
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,640
If we don't get the bailout?
454
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,800
Then we break our promises to the IMF,
455
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,880
exhaust the credit facilities
available to us,
456
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,040
face a run on sterling,
457
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,040
and the government would be left with
no option but to devalue the pound.
458
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:14,160
Hm-hmm. And that's bad?
459
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,560
Devaluation?
460
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,520
It's worse than bad.
461
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,840
It would relegate sterling to the
second division of the world's currencies
462
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,480
and Britain to the third division
of the world's economies.
463
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,360
It would mean international humiliation,
political ignominy, and...
464
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:32,360
financial ruin.
465
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,080
Your Royal Highness.
466
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,440
President Johnson.
467
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,920
["God Save the Queen" playing]
468
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,920
- Good morning, Prime Minister.
- Good morning.
469
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,400
[Wilson] I've had an opportunity now
470
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,600
to speak to our ambassador in Washington
about the White House dinner last night.
471
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:33,800
And?
472
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,480
I...
473
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,040
I don't know where to begin.
474
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,680
It seemed the first course
had barely been served
475
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,560
before Princess Margaret made remarks
about the late President Kennedy
476
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,640
that were...
477
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,600
less than discreet.
478
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,280
I met him once. Kennedy.
479
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,520
I was left distinctly...
480
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,280
underwhelmed.
481
00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,440
[guests fall silent]
482
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Margaret.
483
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,320
[Margaret]
I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?
484
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,200
I do know these days one's not allowed
485
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,200
to think anything other than
what a great statesman Kennedy was.
486
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
- Say nothing, Lyndon.
- [Margaret] Of course he'll say nothing.
487
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,440
He was his loyal deputy.
488
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,600
Which I think I can understand
better than most.
489
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,400
The frustrations and resentments
that can build up
490
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,680
from a life as a number two.
491
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,000
The support act.
492
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Even of someone you adore.
493
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,440
You spent three years as Vice President.
494
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,600
I've spent my whole life as Vice Queen.
495
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Except that came out wrong,
I didn't mean I'm a... "vice queen."
496
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,120
Is there a strategy in place
to deal with the fallout?
497
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,160
Oh, no. There's no fallout.
498
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,840
What?
499
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,040
President Johnson agreed.
Thoroughly. Enthusiastically.
500
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,480
Unreservedly.
501
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:02,880
He said, um, if I remember rightly,
502
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,080
"Jack Kennedy..."
503
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,040
would've killed his own mother
504
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,240
just to take the skin off her ass
to make a drum to beat his own praises.
505
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,760
[laughter]
506
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,120
Right?
507
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,440
I see.
508
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,080
This then led to a drinking contest.
509
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,200
- What?
- [Margaret] Last man standing
510
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,360
- is the winner.
- Challenge accepted!
511
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,640
[Wilson] Which, in turn,led to a limerick contest.
512
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,200
- Limericks?
- Yes, ma'am.
513
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Some of them, I'm afraid to say,
a little off-color.
514
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,360
Hmm.
515
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,960
Well, go on then.
516
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,520
Oh, right... Um... [clears throat]
517
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040
Well, the first one went a little...
518
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800
"There was a young woman from Delaware..."
519
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,120
Who liked to make love...
520
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,560
liked to make love...
521
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,840
- Delaware! Delaware!
- In her underwear.
522
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,960
- [Margaret] A terrible prude...
- [Wilson] "She would never go nude,"
523
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,600
And her bum, hips, and tits
she would never bare."
524
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,120
[raucous laughter]
525
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,440
What else?
526
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,640
The President countered with,
527
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,720
"There was a young man from Wisconsin
528
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,040
Who was blessed
with an enormously large..."
529
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,320
- Johnson!
- [raucous laughter]
530
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Where's the rest of it?
531
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,840
I believe everyone thought
that was long enough. As it were.
532
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:33,440
Any more?
533
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,600
Princess Margaret won the evening
with this one...
534
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,960
"There was a young lady from Dallas,
535
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,080
Who used a dynamite stick as a phallus..."
536
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,560
They found her...
537
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,280
You've made it this far.
538
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,040
"They found her vagina
in North Carolina..."
539
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,880
And her arsehole in Buckingham Palace.
540
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,040
[raucous laughter]
541
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,880
Bravo.
542
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,720
["Coming Home Baby" playing]
543
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,680
Then, apparently, there was dancing.
544
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,080
Whoo!
545
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Followed by singing.
546
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,840
? Anything you can be, I can be greater ?
547
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,880
? Sooner or later, I'm greater than you ?
548
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,520
- [Johnson] ? No, you're not ?
- [Margaret] ? Yes, I am ?
549
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,280
- ? No, you're not ?
- ? Yes, I am ?
550
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,560
- ? No, you're not ?
- ? Yes, I am, yes, I am ?
551
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:50,520
[cheering]
552
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,880
[Elizabeth] She staggered homeat four in the morning,
553
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,920
newly Anglophile President Johnson
having agreed to the bailout,
554
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,560
the special relationship
more special than ever.
555
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,720
- ? Without being caught? ?
- ? Yeah ?
556
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,600
? That's what I thought, you crook ?
557
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,000
And all because
Margaret was all the things
558
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,199
I'd specifically begged her not to be.
559
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,880
All the things I could never be.
560
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,480
Instinctive, spontaneous, dazzling.
561
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,360
[laughter]
562
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,920
? Yes, I can ?
563
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,679
- You're all those things, too.
- No, I'm not.
564
00:34:22,679 --> 00:34:25,440
I'm predictable, dependable, reliable.
565
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,560
Well, of those two,
566
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:30,600
I would pick dependability
every day of the week.
567
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,320
Thank you.
568
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,159
But it would be nice
to be dazzling on occasion, too.
569
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:38,800
- You are dazzling.
- Hmm.
570
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,800
- You're a dazzling cabbage.
- [chuckles]
571
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,280
[Margaret] ? Anything you can say,I can say faster ?
572
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,080
? I can say anything faster than you ?
573
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:49,520
- ? No, you can't ?
- ? Yes, I can ?
574
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,080
- ? No, you can't ?
- ? Yes, I can ?
575
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,600
- ? No, you can't ?
- ? Yes, I can ?
576
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,679
[guests cheer]
577
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,960
[laughs]
578
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
[crowd cheers]
579
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:16,800
Prime Minister.
580
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,760
Well played, Your Royal Highness.
581
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,760
Very well played.
582
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,280
Thank you, sir.
583
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:24,720
Shall we?
584
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,400
[clock chimes]
585
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,240
[exhales]
586
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,640
[footsteps approach]
587
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
- [Elizabeth] Hail the conquering heroine!
- Ah, yes.
588
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,400
Let the abuse begin.
589
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,080
[Elizabeth] Now, you must know by now
590
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,440
any triumph from this family is met
with a healthy dose of...
591
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,720
- Envy? Spite?
- Good-natured teasing
592
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,320
to keep one's feet on the ground.
593
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,600
Everyone's very grateful.
594
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,440
The Prime Minister said he was
going to write to you personally.
595
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,080
Better than that.
He met me at the airport.
596
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:34,880
Ah.
597
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,240
And now we're all racking our brains
598
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,200
as to what to give you
to show our appreciation.
599
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,240
How would you feel
about the Order of Merit?
600
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,040
Or the Victorian Chain?
601
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,600
You can keep your gongs and your bongs
602
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,320
for all the men
to whom it matters so much.
603
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,000
But I'd be lying if I didn't admit
to having done a little thinking,
604
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,360
in view of how well it all went...
605
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120
about us doing it more often.
606
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:04,800
Doing what?
607
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,280
Sharing duties.
608
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,840
But we didn't share duties.
You just went to a dinner party.
609
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,800
In your place.
610
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,320
And represented Crown and country
611
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,440
with, I think we can agree,
favorable results.
612
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,880
Isn't it possible
that we've stumbled upon something here?
613
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,080
You have far too much to do,
far too much pressure,
614
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,600
far too much responsibility.
615
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,240
And I, too little.
616
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,640
Having no role, having nothing to do is...
617
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:42,960
soul-destroying.
618
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,800
All I am asking is if you were prepared
to share a little more.
619
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,640
For both our sakes.
620
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,560
Let me think about it.
621
00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:06,920
I'll see what I can do.
622
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:08,440
[chuckles]
623
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,400
- [Philip] Don't tell me you softened?
- I did.
624
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,320
And with good reason.
625
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,520
Margaret does suffer more than anyone else
by not having a more meaningful role.
626
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,160
Suffers in health and happiness.
627
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,720
She's overlooked.
628
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,280
And in terms of ability and character
629
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,400
and intelligence and flair,
she does not deserve to be overlooked.
630
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,520
So, why shouldn't we consider
expanding the role,
631
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:37,960
sharing the job a bit more?
632
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,960
[Philip]
There are two answers to that question.
633
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,760
Neither makes for pretty listening.
634
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,240
Yes, the system is unequal
and unjust and cruel.
635
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,840
Primogeniture divides
and destroys families,
636
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,920
the system stinks, but...
637
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,080
in its cruelty and injustice,
it reflects something else,
638
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,960
which is harsh and brutal,
639
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,720
which no one is suggesting we rearrange.
640
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,280
Life.
641
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,600
We all desire equality,
but here's the thing.
642
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,960
We were not born equal.
643
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,160
- And what's the second?
- [chuckles]
644
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,040
Do you remember I told you once
645
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,200
I got drunk with that
god-awful monster Tommy Lascelles?
646
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,160
Hmm.
647
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,240
Well, that night
he shared with me his theory
648
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,360
about the House of Windsor.
649
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,440
I've never repeated it to anyone since.
650
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,320
Go on.
651
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,360
He asked me to imagine
a mythological creature.
652
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,960
A Reichsadler.
653
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,080
A polycephalus, a two-headed eagle.
654
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,520
For the purposes of this conversation,
655
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,920
I want you to think of it
as representing us.
656
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,280
This family.
657
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,960
Your family.
658
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,440
There have always been
the dazzling Windsors and the dull ones.
659
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,000
- Your father...
- A saint.
660
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,120
But dull. Sorry.
661
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,120
Your grandfather, too.
662
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,720
- George V?
- Deadly dull.
663
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,200
At the height of the Great War,
when the...
664
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,680
the Tsar and the Kaiser
and the Emperor of Austria
665
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,880
were dazzling the world, where was he?
666
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,440
He was sticking stamps in his album.
667
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,520
- His wife...
- Queen Mary, wonderful.
668
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,840
Ditchwater.
669
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,440
And so it goes, through George V
to Queen Victoria and back.
670
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,720
An uninterrupted line of stolid,
671
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,960
turgid dreariness.
672
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,160
Culminating in me?
673
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:42,960
Well, yes, but...
674
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,920
alongside that dull,
dutiful, reliable, heroic strain
675
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:50,920
runs another.
676
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,920
The dazzling, the brilliant,
the individualistic,
677
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,600
and... the dangerous.
678
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,040
And so, for every Victoria,
you get an Edward VII.
679
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,040
For every George V, you get a Prince Eddy.
680
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,840
For every George VI,
you get an Edward VIII.
681
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,200
For every Lilibet...
682
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:16,880
you get a Margaret.
683
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,640
And she may have had a success
in Washington,
684
00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:24,200
but let's not delude ourselves
that serious diplomacy can be achieved
685
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,680
through drinking and dancing.
686
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,800
Let Margaret have the glory,
687
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,880
but let's not rewrite
the constitutional rulebook
688
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,760
because she got lucky once.
689
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,800
And where does that leave
my relationship with her?
690
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,960
Unchanged.
691
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,320
You're the Queen.
692
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,640
And she's your dangerous baby sister.
693
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,240
She's outside.
She knows we're talking about her.
694
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,560
Then let's join her.
695
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,760
That feverish mind of hers
needs no encouragement.
696
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,560
[Lascelles]
What you are suggesting is unthinkable.
697
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,200
The order of succession to the throne
is determined
698
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,560
by the Act of Settlement of 1701,
699
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,120
not the wild and irresponsible whims
700
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,600
of young princesses.
701
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,600
The principle of undisturbed
hereditary descent is a pillar
702
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,400
of stability and perpetuity
for the nation.
703
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,920
Princess Elizabeth's destiny is
to accede to the throne.
704
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,200
Yours is to serve and support.
705
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,160
I would urge you
to accept your position in life...
706
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,280
and to dismiss forthwith
any childish notions
707
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,040
about rewriting the rule books
that it might better suit your character.
708
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,160
We all have a role to play.
709
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,640
Princess Elizabeth's will be center-stage,
710
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:20,120
and yours, ma'am, will be from the wings.
711
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,720
[door opens]
712
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:44,880
Margaret!
713
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,000
[door closes]

00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,040
["When You're Smiling" playing]
715
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,160
? When you're smiling ?
716
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,760
? When you're smiling ?
717
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:13,920
? The whole world smiles with you ?
718
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,600
? When you're laughing ?
719
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,240
? When you're laughing ?
720
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,920
? The sun comes shining through ?
721
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,400
? But when you're crying ?
722
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,320
? You bring all the rain ?
723
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,040
? So, stop your sighing ?
724
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,920
? Be happy again ?
725
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,920
? Keep on smiling ?
726
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,600
? 'Cause when you're smiling ?
727
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:44,520
? The whole world smiles with you ?
