2
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,819
My dear Baron...
3
00:00:53,821 --> 00:00:55,080
Come on, boys!
4
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,232
My dear fellow members...
5
00:00:57,233 --> 00:00:59,119
Sir.
6
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,879
We're now well into the
first leg of our tour.
7
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,199
At ease.
8
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,880
The Duke and I flew out and
joined the yacht in Mombasa.
9
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,079
- How do you do?
- Very good, sir.
10
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,291
From there, we departed for Ceylon
11
00:01:12,292 --> 00:01:14,401
via the heavenly Seychelles.
12
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Then through the beautiful Malayan
states and on to New Guinea.
13
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,599
Because the Duke isn't
much one for ceremony,
14
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,639
preferring sport and competition
to dinners and speeches,
15
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,879
everywhere we've gone, we've had
our own small-scale Olympics.
16
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,919
- Heave!
- Come on, boys!
17
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,639
We have a number of
gifted athletes on board:
18
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,400
runners, rowers, footballers.
19
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,680
And we've pipped the locals pretty
much everywhere we've been.
20
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,440
But in New Guinea, I'm afraid,
we really met our match.
21
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,520
Get up!
22
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Thankfully, there is always cricket...
23
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,124
Come on, Aldrich!
24
00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:02,220
Hooray!
25
00:02:02,221 --> 00:02:03,639
Where we can be relied upon
26
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,960
to get our revenge.
27
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,559
Bowled!
28
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,679
- Howzat!
- Yes!
29
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,380
Mainly because cricket as a sport
30
00:02:12,381 --> 00:02:14,639
has never been seen
before in New Guinea.
31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,880
At night, the adventures continue.
32
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,159
On royal tours in the past, when
the Queen has been present,
33
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,840
the evenings have been polite occasions,
34
00:02:24,841 --> 00:02:26,919
with everyone on best behavior.
35
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,840
"Not this time.
36
00:02:30,683 --> 00:02:31,870
Philip, as you all know,
37
00:02:31,871 --> 00:02:33,719
is a work-hard-play-hard man
38
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,799
who would never stand in
the way of a bit of fun.
39
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,519
And in New Guinea, as it turns out,
40
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,879
there's no such thing as infidelity.
41
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Men are expected to indulge.
42
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,959
By the end of this tour,
43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,839
I think we'll be able to make
a qualitative assessment
44
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,760
about where the finest women
in the world come from.
45
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,919
But now, however, I can tell you
46
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,719
the women of New Guinea are
sweeter than those of Ceylon
47
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,719
and right up there with those of Malaya!
48
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,879
I have shared these secrets
with you in good faith.
49
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,880
The contents must, like all disclosures
50
00:03:10,881 --> 00:03:13,159
of the Thursday Club, remain secret.
51
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,799
Ninety percent of the
officers on board are married
52
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,239
and would kill me if they
knew what I was writing!
53
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,359
Strict non-disclosure policies apply.
54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,320
What happens on tour stays on tour.
55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,540
But rest assured,
56
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:32,679
I will keep you updated on
our forthcoming adventures.
57
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,720
Oh!
58
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,879
I sense this will be a momentous
and eventful tour indeed.
59
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,479
Ever your fellow member, Mike!"
60
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,119
We put our trust in our ruling class.
61
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,279
We put this great
country in their hands!
62
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:20,640
And what do they do?
63
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,760
How do they pay back our trust?
64
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:32,199
By taking us into an illegal
war under false pretenses!
65
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,679
A shameful, dishonest misadventure!
66
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,559
Murderers!
67
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,479
You! What about that? Bloody disgrace!
68
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,160
Dragging us all into ruin! Bastard!
69
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,760
The invasion has been a disaster,
70
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,399
the UN General Assembly's up in arms,
71
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,800
as are the Americans.
72
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080
As a result, our Prime
Minister has had no option
73
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,600
but to declare an immediate
ceasefire and retreat.
74
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,759
Without taking back the Suez Canal.
75
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,880
- Quite.
- So it's all been for nothing?
76
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,040
No, rather worse than nothing.
77
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,199
Economically, the drain on our
currency reserves has been so ruinous
78
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,840
that we now face a run on sterling.
79
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,239
The energy situation is just as bad.
80
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,159
Panic buying has been
reported at petrol stations,
81
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,940
and... we expect fuel rationing to
82
00:06:24,941 --> 00:06:27,241
become necessary as we move into winter.
83
00:06:28,567 --> 00:06:30,727
It is no exaggeration
to say this has been
84
00:06:30,728 --> 00:06:33,648
the worst week for the
country since 1939.
85
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,640
The peace and consensus left by
your dear father has gone...
86
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,599
and our reputation for
decency and integrity
87
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,559
in matters of foreign policy
88
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,639
Has been shattered.
89
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,680
What is it?
90
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,719
The Duke of Edinburgh is on
the telephone, Your Majesty.
91
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,279
Hm? Goodness, that's a first.
92
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:56,640
- From New Guinea, ma'am.
- Oh.
93
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,699
- Sorry, do excuse me.
- Of course.
94
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:00,760
- Give him my best.
- Say hello.
95
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:08,639
Hello?
96
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Hello?
97
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,639
Hello. Hello, Philip.
98
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,119
Hello? Can you hear me?
99
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Yes, yes, I can hear you.
100
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,839
I can't hear you.
101
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,960
Can you hear me?
102
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,039
Yes. I can hear you.
103
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,359
Uh... hello?
104
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Elizabeth?
105
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Can you hear me?
106
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Philip.
107
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,480
Oh.
108
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,240
Ready for you, sir.
109
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,240
Damn telephones.
110
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,879
- Bloody things.
- This is why I don't bother.
111
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,360
Assemble on deck for
the morning address.
112
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,080
At ease, gentlemen.
113
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,159
Well, our adventure is
only two weeks old,
114
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,279
and it's already taken
us nearly 20,000 miles
115
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,240
as we travel the far
corners of the world...
116
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,199
in an attempt to repair the
reputation of our country,
117
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,679
currently being ruined by politicians.
118
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,153
I would like to thank
each and every one of you
119
00:08:39,154 --> 00:08:40,873
for your professionalism
120
00:08:40,874 --> 00:08:43,479
and discipline. You have
all been brilliant.
121
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,519
All, that is, except for
the football team...
122
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,799
whose shoddy, leaky defense
123
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,359
and absence of a natural
left-sided player,
124
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,239
led to that rather humiliating
defeat by the Seamen's Club,
125
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,479
of all bloody people,
at Port Swettenham.
126
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,640
I should also like to
say, if I may, Admiral...
127
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,120
Yes, sir.
128
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,960
It's been wonderful for me, on a
personal level, to be back at sea.
129
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,279
The Royal Navy has always occupied
a very special place in my life
130
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,880
and, indeed, in my heart.
131
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,867
There are few greater pleasures in life
132
00:09:23,868 --> 00:09:26,001
than serving on a ship such as this.
133
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,999
That's why it's also
very difficult to leave,
134
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,559
but leave I must and fly to Melbourne
to open the Olympics there,
135
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,119
where I must generally behave myself,
136
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,719
shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons.
137
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,960
It will be hell, I can assure you.
138
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,173
And I will be counting the minutes
139
00:09:44,174 --> 00:09:45,599
until you come and pick me up again
140
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,559
and we can continue our great adventure.
141
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:50,439
Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves,
142
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,760
keep fit...
143
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,599
and don't drink all the bloody beer.
144
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,200
Well said, sir.
145
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,039
Well done, boys. Well done, big man.
146
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,680
Good stuff. Thank you very much.
147
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,319
Well done. Well done. Well done.
148
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
It's so depressing, this Suez business.
149
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,519
Well, don't read about it then.
150
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,720
I can't help myself.
What were they thinking?
151
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,159
- Shall we look at this schedule?
- Will that cheer me up?
152
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,879
Probably not, no.
153
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,479
I've been stripping things
out wherever I can,
154
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,479
but it's still pretty hectic.
155
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,799
We start with a uranium mine
visit in the Northern Territory.
156
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,159
- Yippee.
- Agricultural parades in Sydney,
157
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,559
then over to a British Empire Service
League conference in Canberra.
158
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,999
And finally garden parties
at Government House.
159
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,119
- Joy.
- But...
160
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,879
I've come up with a stock speech
161
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,598
which you can memorize like a mynah bird
162
00:10:46,599 --> 00:10:48,320
and deliver each step of the way.
163
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,440
Australia.
164
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,719
The name itself conjures
up such romantic images
165
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
of progress, ambition and possibility.
166
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,759
It is said that the mark of any
great nation is the journey
167
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,640
it has endured on its path to glory.
168
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,760
And what a journey Australia has taken.
169
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Oh, I see. So that's the smelter.
170
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,839
From those early European explorers
who landed at your shores,
171
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,880
you've endured great
hardship and crisis.
172
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,839
Less independently-minded
nations would've faltered,
173
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,600
sought support from the parent nation...
174
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,839
once so integral to their governance.
175
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,999
But Australia forged onwards.
176
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,000
Like its rugged and, at
times, unforgiving landscape,
177
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Australia showed true
strength, true mettle.
178
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,119
You have admirably
179
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,680
developed every branch of
your life and culture...
180
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,027
and in just 200 years, have grown into
181
00:12:02,028 --> 00:12:06,159
a unique and individual civilization,
182
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,767
which, I am sure, will rank among
183
00:12:07,768 --> 00:12:09,799
the greatest that the world has seen.
184
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,759
Australia!
185
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,600
- Excellent speech.
- Good man.
186
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,440
Her name's Helen King.
187
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,799
Twenty-nine years old,
writes for The Age,
188
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,879
one of the most prominent
newspapers here.
189
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,640
She's asked to meet you.
190
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Let's meet her.
191
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,619
What for?
192
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:33,720
An interview.
193
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,119
Oh, I thought we'd
decided no interviews.
194
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,320
We did, but in her case, I find
myself moved to make an exception.
195
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,199
- You saw the way she was looking at me?
- Yes.
196
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,160
You don't think I'm being delusional?
Gentleman's radar and all that.
197
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:47,619
No.
198
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:49,227
Not to mention the way she's followed us
199
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:51,119
every step of the tour. No...
200
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,840
I think we can safely assume this
one's a friend, not an enemy.
201
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,119
The car carrying His Royal Highness,
202
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,279
the Duke of Edinburgh,
203
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,639
makes its way out onto
the splendid red track
204
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,560
here on this pleasant
afternoon in Melbourne.
205
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,160
The crowds are ecstatic as they get
their first glimpse of the Duke,
206
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,840
who is reported to be greatly
enjoying his time here in Australia.
207
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,807
And now we're nearly there as the Duke
208
00:13:24,808 --> 00:13:27,039
takes his place in the Royal Box.
209
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,600
I declare open the Olympic
Games of Melbourne...
210
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,839
celebrating the 16th
Olympiad of the modern era.
211
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,360
He looks happy.
212
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,360
For once.
213
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,879
The Duke smiles as thunderous applause
214
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,919
and thousands of cheers...
215
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,359
- Yes. Very happy.
- From the excited spectators
216
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,159
reverberates around the crowded stadium.
217
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,639
You can thank me for
that. It was my idea.
218
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,399
I always knew it was a good
idea to let him shine. Alone.
219
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,000
What a magnificent moment.
220
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,400
Yes, thank you, Mommy.
221
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,519
In ancient Greece, the
beginning of the Games
222
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,399
was heralded by the
homing of the pigeons,
223
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,640
and so too today.
224
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,679
Ready?
225
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,880
- Yes.
- Yes.
226
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,919
- Mrs. Parker. This way.
- Yes.
227
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,960
Wait here.
228
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,960
Mrs. Parker. How can I help?
229
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,920
I'd like to separate from my
husband. Better still, divorce.
230
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,600
Do you mind me asking, on what grounds?
231
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,200
The fact I never see him.
232
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,360
Absence isn't a legal
ground for divorce.
233
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,559
Neglect?
234
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,919
Nor that, I'm afraid. You're going
to need one of the big three:
235
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,819
Adultery, unreasonable
behavior or insanity.
236
00:15:09,820 --> 00:15:11,960
I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
237
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,320
We will need evidence.
238
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,640
That won't be easy.
239
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,400
Because of his job.
240
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,919
- Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
- In what capacity?
241
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,200
His private secretary.
242
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,280
Oh, I see.
243
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,040
He's also his closest friend.
They're virtually inseparable.
244
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Are you really sure about this?
245
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,120
A divorce can leave a
woman quite isolated.
246
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,000
Maybe things will get
better if you stick it out.
247
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,760
I tend to think that's always
the best way for everyone.
248
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,840
Grass is rarely greener.
249
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,400
I will come back when I have evidence.
250
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,039
- You're taking pethidine?
- Yes.
251
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,533
And the pentobarbitone?
252
00:16:11,534 --> 00:16:13,399
Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone,
253
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,800
but it doesn't work.
254
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,879
I need something stronger.
255
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,080
There is nothing stronger.
256
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,480
The fact is, in terms of pharmacology,
we've gone as far as we can.
257
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,600
I have the greatest sympathy
258
00:16:34,601 --> 00:16:36,401
for your condition, Prime Minister.
259
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,520
And I fully understand
the need for rest...
260
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,240
but given the challenges that
are now facing this country,
261
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,079
you don't feel that you
have a responsibility
262
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,519
to execute your duties
just a little longer?
263
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,480
I asked the physician the same
question, ma'am, but he insisted.
264
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,640
He felt that I was at the very
limit of human endurance.
265
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,839
But the country will be in safe hands.
266
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,920
Mr. Butler will take
charge in my absence.
267
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,199
Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal
of our troops from Egypt,
268
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,920
and Mr. Macmillan will oversee
the... economic situation.
269
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Economic crisis.
270
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,359
How long do you imagine you'll be away?
271
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,680
Not long, ma'am.
272
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,040
A few weeks.
273
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,160
Well, I suppose one can always
reach you at short notice.
274
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,880
It's a point I always make
to my private secretaries.
275
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,480
Yes, I'm away, but Windsor
really is just round the corner.
276
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,240
And Norfolk, too.
277
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,920
County Durham, isn't it?
278
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,920
Your family home.
279
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,560
Jamaica, ma'am.
280
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,560
Your family home?
281
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,320
Where the doctor felt I should be going.
282
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,519
He specified Jamaica?
283
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,479
He specified sunshine,
tropical sunshine.
284
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,440
He said he felt my life
might depend on it.
285
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,040
What would he prescribe for the
rest of us... do you imagine?
286
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Prime Minister.
287
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,200
Your Majesty.
288
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Excuse me! Excuse me!
289
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,839
You work in there, don't you?
290
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,039
At the Thursday Club as a waitress?
291
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,960
- Who's asking?
- My name is Eileen.
292
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Do you have a minute?
293
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,600
Uh, what can I do for you?
294
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,159
I'd like you to tell me
what goes on... inside.
295
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,159
- Are you a reporter or something?
- No, no, nothing like that.
296
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,639
Just a wife of one of the members
and mother to his children.
297
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,719
You may know him, his name is Mike.
298
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,440
There are so many gentlemen.
299
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,760
Mike Parker.
300
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,360
You do know him, don't you?
301
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Mike would've made sure of
that. You're just his type.
302
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,999
Look, one day you will be married too,
303
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480
and I sincerely hope that
you make a good choice.
304
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,959
But if you don't and you meet
a man who makes you unhappy,
305
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,799
then, as a woman, I would wish for you
306
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,120
to be able to leave that
man easily, painlessly.
307
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,427
So if there is anything you can tell me
308
00:19:55,428 --> 00:19:57,719
that might make my leaving easier...
309
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,480
I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker, but I
know nothing of your husband.
310
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,924
Here is my address and telephone number.
311
00:20:04,925 --> 00:20:06,199
Excuse me. Coming through here.
312
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,640
Just...
313
00:20:10,453 --> 00:20:12,493
If anything should occur to you.
314
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,280
- We need two more martinis.
- All right.
315
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,680
Lily! Lily! Lily!
316
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,720
- Martin.
- Do you have a minute, Michael?
317
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,440
I think it's important.
318
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:51,840
Come in.
319
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,399
I'm going to ask you to
go through it again.
320
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,840
Yes. The provenance of this
rumor is quite arcane.
321
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,680
- Your sister...
- Sister-in-law.
322
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,119
Had lunch with her aunt, who had
just spent the weekend at...
323
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:09,459
Cholmondeley Castle.
324
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:13,279
At which, one of the other
guests was the bridge partner...
325
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Tennis.
326
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,240
Of the solicitor visited
by Eileen Parker.
327
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,920
I think that's it.
328
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,960
That's half Britain already.
329
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,659
And all of these people now know
Mrs. Parker... is seeking a divorce?
330
00:21:31,660 --> 00:21:33,400
Yes.
331
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:35,640
That's unfortunate.
332
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,960
It'll be hard to contain.
333
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,200
And what are Mrs. Parker's...
334
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,840
grievances?
335
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,600
Neglect, unreasonable behavior...
336
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,840
and... infidelity.
337
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,479
Just a wife's suspicions,
nothing concrete,
338
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,039
but I believe specific mention
was made of a lunch club
339
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,039
where Lieutenant Commander Parker
and the Duke of Edinburgh are...
340
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Don't tell me. Frequent guests.
341
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Actually, founder members.
342
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:12,800
Keep an eye on this for me, would you?
343
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,599
A close eye.
344
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,320
- Three carbon copies.
- Will do.
345
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,200
Thank you.
346
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,600
- Here we go.
- Madam.
347
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,480
- Mind your step.
- Thank you very much.
348
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,720
- Ready, sir?
- Certainly am.
349
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,120
His Royal Highness, the
Duke of Edinburgh.
350
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,880
- Thank you for seeing me, sir.
- Not at all.
351
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,839
Well, um, just bear with me while
I put my things down and set up.
352
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,280
- Please.
- Thank you.
353
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,780
I'm just going to put a microphone here.
354
00:23:15,781 --> 00:23:16,946
Can I help?
355
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:18,800
No, it's fine, thank you.
356
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,680
Right, I think that's it.
357
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,519
Right, well, I'll, uh... I'll
leave you two to it, then.
358
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,120
Thank you, Michael. Please.
359
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,080
Thank you.
360
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,000
Ah. Ready when you are.
361
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,079
Well, we can't really start
without passing comment
362
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,160
on the situation in Egypt and
the international response.
363
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,760
Why?
364
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,560
Huge demonstrations on
the streets of London,
365
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,440
Eden caving in to international
pressure and calling a ceasefire.
366
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,479
You don't think it's a significant
moment for your country?
367
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,800
Perhaps, but I'm not going
to pass comment on that.
368
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,959
- Why not?
- It's not my job.
369
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,440
It's not what members
of the royal family do.
370
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,679
You must have thoughts about it.
371
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,599
Of course, I'm not a vegetable, but...
372
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,880
my thoughts on issues like
that remain a private matter.
373
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:15,580
One can't help wondering where it leaves
374
00:24:15,581 --> 00:24:16,987
Britain's place in the world.
375
00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:18,839
Well, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
376
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,399
The view from over here is that
Britain has been publicly humiliated.
377
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,440
Oh.
378
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,880
As someone with surprisingly
progressive views,
379
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,640
that must concern you.
380
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,719
I have progressive views?
381
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,360
You don't think that you do?
382
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,919
Televising the coronation?
383
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,479
Advocating modernization?
384
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,799
That's just common sense.
385
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,639
If you're a progressive, one
prepared to make changes.
386
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,679
Well, let's just say that
I learned very early on
387
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,319
that it's wise not to
take things for granted.
388
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,880
You're referring to your family.
389
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,480
How they had to leave
Greece in the revolution.
390
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,679
Your grandfather was shot, your
father fled to avoid being shot.
391
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,480
Yes. Correct.
392
00:24:58,453 --> 00:24:59,800
Well, you see, there's so much
393
00:24:59,801 --> 00:25:01,601
that people don't really know about you.
394
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,199
I can assure you it's all
been rather embellished.
395
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,160
- The truth is really quite dull.
- Dull?
396
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,640
How you personally fled
Corfu in an orange crate?
397
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,599
And then a childhood in
exile, always on the move.
398
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,040
"Exile" is too strong a
word, too emotional.
399
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,440
It's just how it was for everyone.
You just got on with it.
400
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,560
But it can't have been easy.
401
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,773
Was the trauma of being in exile
402
00:25:31,774 --> 00:25:34,320
what brought on your mother's
illness, do you think?
403
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,720
What illness?
404
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,680
Well, the information I have is
that she suffered a breakdown.
405
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,240
Things weren't easy for her.
406
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,439
But she got on with it.
407
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,640
But she was taken away, wasn't
she? To an institution.
408
00:25:59,641 --> 00:26:01,944
Then your father promptly
abandoned the family,
409
00:26:01,945 --> 00:26:03,239
ran off with his mistress?
410
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,735
I don't know what you've been reading
411
00:26:04,736 --> 00:26:06,119
or who you've been speaking to,
412
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:08,839
but both my mother and my
father played very active roles
413
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,239
in all their children's lives.
414
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,223
It isn't true you didn't see your father
415
00:26:12,224 --> 00:26:13,639
for the last six years of his life?
416
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,880
If we're to remain friends,
we really should move on.
417
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,680
All right.
418
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,960
May I ask you about your education?
419
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,320
Sir.
420
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Sir.
421
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,719
- What about it?
- That was pretty unusual, too.
422
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,380
I went to boarding school in Britain.
423
00:26:36,381 --> 00:26:38,399
I don't see what's unusual about that.
424
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,288
For a while, but then you
were taken out of there
425
00:26:40,289 --> 00:26:41,799
and sent to school in Germany.
426
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,479
Because my sisters lived there.
427
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,319
- Your Nazi sisters.
- Oh, Christ.
428
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,279
One of whom was married to a close
personal friend of Hitler's.
429
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,439
I was at school in Germany
for less than a year
430
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,359
before I returned to the United Kingdom.
431
00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:53,999
What point are you trying to make here?
432
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,919
I think it's pretty clear
which side I was on.
433
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,919
My record in the war speaks for itself.
434
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,359
I'm simply saying your background
435
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:02,279
is so much more interesting and
complex than people might imagine.
436
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,080
- Do they imagine anything?
- I think people are curious.
437
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Here is this striking, handsome man,
438
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,880
walking beside the most
famous woman in the world.
439
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,200
Who is he?
440
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Well, I hate to disappoint...
441
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,319
but he really is just a normal man
442
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,199
in what, from the outside, probably
looks like rather a strange life,
443
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,000
but from the inside, really is
no different to anyone else's.
444
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,040
I don't think there's anything
about you that's like anyone else.
445
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,279
From a young age, you were
effectively orphaned,
446
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,959
your favorite sister, Cecile, also
a Nazi, died in a plane crash...
447
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,519
I really think we should move on now.
448
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,640
What kind of impact does
that have on a man?
449
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,319
That's the kind of trauma that will
doubtless have a bearing on how
450
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,359
your own children and the future
King of England are brought up.
451
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:57,720
That's enough.
452
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,399
I think people have a right to know
about their leaders, don't you?
453
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,286
Especially ones that can't be thrown
454
00:28:06,287 --> 00:28:08,120
out with free and fair elections.
455
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,079
Don't ever let my vanity get
the better of me again.
456
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,640
Christ!
457
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,760
Christ!
458
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,640
Kensington 8953. Hello?
459
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,600
We met...
460
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,240
a few times...
461
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,120
in... various locations.
462
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,200
Afterwards, he'd...
tell me about his job.
463
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,680
The company he keeps.
464
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,240
He didn't mention a wife.
465
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:52,880
Or children.
466
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,720
I'm so sorry.
467
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,520
If you are really sorry and
want to make my life easier...
468
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Of course.
469
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,719
We will need you to make
an official statement
470
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,699
and give evidence in court.
471
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,799
I can't do that. I would
lose my job, my reputation.
472
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,810
I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
473
00:30:19,811 --> 00:30:20,926
No!
474
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,040
No.
475
00:30:25,042 --> 00:30:26,799
So you telephoned me and agreed to
476
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,600
come here today for what, precisely?
477
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,360
To put color into my nightmares?
478
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,160
I'm sorry.
479
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,439
My sources now tell me
480
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,519
Mrs. Parker has gone as far
as bringing a waitress
481
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,399
from the Thursday Lunch Club
to see her divorce lawyer.
482
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,477
I gather the waitress has not provided
483
00:30:49,478 --> 00:30:51,280
hard evidence on this occasion,
484
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,279
just hearsay.
485
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,039
Though we're obviously getting close.
486
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,799
This cannot be allowed to go one
single step further, Martin.
487
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,759
No.
488
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,559
If Mrs. Parker succeeds
in getting her divorce,
489
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,599
the newspapers would make the
not unreasonable assumption
490
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,479
that anything that Lieutenant
Commander Parker has done,
491
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,639
the Duke of Edinburgh has done, too.
492
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,339
We do not want words like "infidelity"
and "divorce" swirling around.
493
00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:19,359
No.
494
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,199
Whether there is any truth
in the allegations or not,
495
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,720
it would shatter the integrity
of the royal marriage...
496
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,560
and jeopardize the entire monarchy.
497
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Any ideas?
498
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,399
Stand easy. Stand easy.
499
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,719
Right, our grown-up duties are done.
500
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,639
The Olympics are officially up and
running, which means, gentlemen,
501
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,079
we can now get on with the important
business at hand: our tour!
502
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,279
We have nine weeks between
now and our arrival home.
503
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,785
In that time, we will be visiting
504
00:31:52,786 --> 00:31:54,699
the remotest parts of the Commonwealth,
505
00:31:54,700 --> 00:31:57,879
but I'm delighted to say
that during that time,
506
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,719
we will be without reporters.
507
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,119
We will be without photographers.
508
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,360
We will be out of the world's eye!
509
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,640
And with that in mind,
Michael's got a suggestion.
510
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,239
Thank you. Right, gentlemen.
511
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,959
Uh, yes, I'd like to propose
something a little unusual,
512
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,319
something I'm fairly sure none of
us has ever participated in before:
513
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,439
a beard-growing competition!
514
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,079
Now, special dispensation has
been given to the dozen or so men
515
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,799
who already have beards to shave
them off and they'll act as judges
516
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,719
for the rest of our efforts, all right?
517
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:34,760
Yes!
518
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,840
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
519
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,119
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
520
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,040
- Hip, hip! Hooray!
- Hooray!
521
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,399
It's nothing you've not seen before.
522
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,359
We can't see it now, Bill.
523
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,999
Right, in their infinite wisdom,
the powers that be have decided
524
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,479
they would like you to
make a Christmas speech.
525
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,439
What? To who? The men on board?
526
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,799
Uh, no.
527
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,524
To the half a billion
people that make up
528
00:33:33,525 --> 00:33:35,359
the Commonwealth of Nations.
529
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:36,839
From the Lord Chamberlain's office.
530
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,559
They'd like you to make a companion
Christmas speech to the Queen's.
531
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,728
A thousand words, preferably uplifting
532
00:33:41,729 --> 00:33:43,839
in tone and Christian in sentiment.
533
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,479
With as many references as possible
534
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,680
to the importance of family
and the sanctity of marriage.
535
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,880
What if I don't want to?
536
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,119
I'm afraid no provisions
appear to have been made
537
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,280
for your having an opinion about
that or, indeed, anything else.
538
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,319
Because of seniority,
539
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,360
your speech will come second,
the usual time, three p.m.
540
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,919
However, on Christmas morning,
541
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,359
the Duke of Edinburgh is
expected to be in Graham Land,
542
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,639
which is in the Antarctic Peninsula,
which is ten hours behind us,
543
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,959
so he'll have to get up at the
crack of dawn to make his speech.
544
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,520
May I ask why he's making a speech?
545
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,579
Ma'am?
546
00:34:21,580 --> 00:34:23,080
Well, it's not usual, is it?
547
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,079
No, it is extraordinary.
548
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,799
Um, I think the feeling was
549
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,559
that with Your Majesty
and His Royal Highness
550
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,679
having not been seen in
public together for so long,
551
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,199
being, at least, heard together...
552
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,159
No, I see. It might reassure
people that all is still well.
553
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,420
I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
554
00:34:44,421 --> 00:34:45,933
Well, I would.
555
00:34:45,934 --> 00:34:47,600
And I think it's a good idea.
556
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,680
Thank you, Michael.
557
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,520
May I just ask...
558
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,440
just out of curiosity...
559
00:35:00,546 --> 00:35:02,185
what's the longest amount of time that
560
00:35:02,186 --> 00:35:05,359
you and Lady Adeane have been separated?
561
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,400
Uh...
562
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,720
Three weeks, I think.
563
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,145
I see. And would you say that you
564
00:35:11,146 --> 00:35:14,120
thrive or suffer from the separation?
565
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,440
Uh, we don't much care for it, ma'am.
566
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,520
Helen, in particular, believes...
567
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,599
little good comes from
a couple being apart,
568
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,960
that a husband and wife belong together.
569
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,480
Yes, of course.
570
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,040
Ma'am.
571
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,680
- Brown?
- Yes, sir?
572
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,279
- What's up?
- Australian naval patrol boat,
573
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,479
the HMAS Warreen, has put
out a distress call.
574
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,439
They picked up a fishing boat, out
of power, it's drifted for days.
575
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,079
One man left alive, he nearly
drowned trying to fix the hull.
576
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,559
He suffered a broken rib cage,
and his lung may be punctured.
577
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,599
And the Warreen doesn't
have a doctor on board.
578
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,839
- The man is dying.
- Are we the nearest ship?
579
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,079
There's a French freighter
three miles further out.
580
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,640
We are the nearest ship.
581
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,879
Set your course.
582
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:46,960
Bring her about.
583
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:49,439
Coming about.
584
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,560
Ninety degrees.
585
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:09,519
Hoist.
586
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,280
Up, up. He's coming up.
587
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Steady him.
588
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,920
Straps.
589
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,360
At ease.
590
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,640
We fished him out of the
water, floating near his boat.
591
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,966
The rest of his crew must have drowned.
592
00:37:37,967 --> 00:37:39,119
There was no log on board.
593
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,880
We don't know who he
is or where he's from.
594
00:37:40,881 --> 00:37:43,359
It doesn't matter who he
is or where he's from.
595
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,679
He was the captain of a ship...
that's all that counts.
596
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,159
- We'll need a saline drip.
- He's one of us.
597
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,440
Immediately. Fluids. Now, man.
598
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,480
No, it's out of the question, sir.
599
00:37:53,481 --> 00:37:54,959
Why?
600
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,839
We have a strict schedule,
as part of an official tour.
601
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,919
And to take the man back
to wherever he came from
602
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,800
would be to turn back in
entirely the wrong direction.
603
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,319
It'd take days, maybe a whole
week, off our important schedule.
604
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,839
We can make that time up.
605
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,920
The man's fortunate
enough we saved his life.
606
00:38:10,759 --> 00:38:12,301
We'll simply drop him off at the next
607
00:38:12,302 --> 00:38:13,719
destination and that'll be that.
608
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:16,159
He will be needlessly
separated from his home.
609
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,119
Find himself in a strange
country, with a foreign language,
610
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,359
away from his family.
611
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,119
Not my concern.
612
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,280
Another vessel with less important
duties might find time for such...
613
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,439
sentimental charity.
614
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,120
We've done our important duties
and are on the way home.
615
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,999
We're effectively a
glorified pleasure cruiser
616
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,840
with an abundance of
fuel and time to spare.
617
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,679
Sir, my decision as Flag Officer is no.
618
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,080
And my decision as Admiral
of the Fleet is that we do.
619
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,280
There is only one person
in command of the vessel.
620
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,240
It's the Flag Officer.
621
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,719
If you'd recall your naval
training... you'd remember.
622
00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:08,519
I do recall my naval
training, as it happens.
623
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,199
Manning command posts on
destroyers during the war.
624
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,840
The same war which, I believe,
you spent on shore duty.
625
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,639
I have never abused my privileges,
and I don't intend to start now,
626
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,159
but this is the Royal Yacht.
627
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,119
I am on it representing the Crown,
628
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,520
and I say turn it around
and take this man home.
629
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,279
My dear friends, after 20
eventful weeks at sea,
630
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,760
visiting five continents and
covering many thousands of miles,
631
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:59,680
I'm happy to report that we saved
our greatest adventure for last.
632
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,479
As the Royal Yacht Britannia
turned naval rescue
633
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,760
and we fished a shipwrecked
mariner out of the water.
634
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,999
Our brilliant surgeons operated on him,
635
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,533
then we went out of
our way to return him
636
00:40:12,534 --> 00:40:14,640
to his home, his family and his people.
637
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,879
And what people.
638
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,640
What a family.
639
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,240
What a home.
640
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,879
Should you Thursday Club
members ever grow tired
641
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,640
of your colorless and
empty lives in London,
642
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,999
I suggest immediate relocation
643
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,240
to the discrete island nations
nestled around Tonga...
644
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,640
surely the closest one can
come to heaven on Earth.
645
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,600
"Never have we received such a welcome,
646
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:54,319
or eaten so well.
647
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,199
Never have I experienced
such a willingness
648
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,639
to set oneself free and enjoy.
649
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,479
And nowhere on Earth,
650
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,039
and we have, by this point,
traveled across almost every inch,
651
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:15,039
have we encountered
such beautiful women."
652
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,000
Bye!
653
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,160
"These really have been the
most remarkable few days.
654
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,359
And it is with the greatest reluctance,
655
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,880
that after three days here,
we tear ourselves away,
656
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:47,039
each of us, not a little bit,
but a great deal in love."
657
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,080
That is your husband's
handwriting, isn't it?
658
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,320
You said you needed evidence.
659
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,800
That's not a royal tour they're
on, it's a five-month stag night.
660
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,520
Whores in every port.
661
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,160
Good luck.
662
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,400
Uh, thank you.
663
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,839
- Happy Christmas.
- Happy Christmas, Your Majesty.
664
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,400
- Hello. Thank you.
- Oh, thank God.
665
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,680
All right, you two. Good, now...
666
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,360
Thank you.
667
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,880
Edward!
668
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,160
Delighted to see you.
669
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:46,120
Written it yet?
670
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,640
No.
671
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,600
I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
672
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,693
Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes
673
00:44:55,694 --> 00:44:58,120
about Christmas and the Commonwealth?
674
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,520
That's what they want me to
say. I mean what I want to say.
675
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:06,680
Right.
676
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,919
Have you got it yet? Home Service.
677
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:15,960
Nearly there, sir.
678
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,400
Where exactly is Philip?
679
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,680
- Graham Land, last I heard.
- Where's that?
680
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,933
Dickie, where's Graham Land?
681
00:45:27,934 --> 00:45:29,632
Antarctica. Is it?
682
00:45:29,633 --> 00:45:32,599
- Is that north or is that south?
- It's north.
683
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,639
- Don't be silly, it's south.
- Does anyone actually know?
684
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,439
Well, yes, because the Arctic is north
685
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,159
and so Antarctica is
non-north, isn't it, Dickie?
686
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,559
What's "non-north"?
687
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:45,640
Come.
688
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,759
- It's time.
- Good.
689
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,480
- Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses.
- Oh, children.
690
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,919
Now, a Christmas announcement
from His Royal Highness,
691
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,120
the Duke of Edinburgh.
692
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,399
Good morning.
693
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,039
This is Britannia.
694
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,760
I'm speaking to you from the
edge of the South Pacific.
695
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,840
59 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
696
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,240
You have to turn the globe
upside down to find this place.
697
00:46:11,241 --> 00:46:12,759
Indeed, a few of us aboard
698
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,760
the Royal Yacht feel a
little upside-down...
699
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,919
having never been this far from home.
700
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,319
The remoteness of the location
701
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,800
presents one with a precious
opportunity to think...
702
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,320
about one's own life,
one's own way of living.
703
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,099
We've traveled the world now
and seen all manner of tribes,
704
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:35,400
societies and cultures.
705
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,159
We've had endless debates about
which places have the best systems
706
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,200
of government or justice or the
most interesting religions.
707
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:47,160
And we've been amazed, and impressed
by so much of what we have seen.
708
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,960
Naturally, it has led us to
examine our own lives...
709
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,040
and the way we live.
710
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,760
The things we take for granted.
711
00:46:56,240 --> 00:47:00,000
Is that really Philip? It's not
some sort of Philip impersonator?
712
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,719
Why?
713
00:47:01,720 --> 00:47:04,760
He just sounds so odd. So different.
714
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,280
And here I am, almost
10,000 miles from London...
715
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,880
surrounded by empty water.
716
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:22,440
It's a fine life on board a ship...
but it can be a solitary one.
717
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:26,920
We are men together...
718
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,160
but we each stand alone.
719
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,320
I've been asked to tell you
that they're ready for you.
720
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,760
Right.
721
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,240
Last-minute changes?
722
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,800
- Something like that.
- May I help?
723
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,960
No. Thank you.
724
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,880
Signal strength's good.
725
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,879
Far be it from me to...
726
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,960
Let's see if I can oil the wheels.
727
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,639
All clear from Broadcasting House.
728
00:48:27,720 --> 00:48:29,120
We are ready for you, ma'am.
729
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:31,960
Yes.
730
00:48:37,993 --> 00:48:39,199
Happy Christmas.
731
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,680
- Happy Christmas, Your Majesty.
- Happy Christmas, ma'am.
732
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,463
People of Britain
733
00:48:45,464 --> 00:48:47,479
and the Commonwealth will
now listen to the voice
734
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,680
of Her Majesty the Queen.
735
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,680
Thank you. Ma'am.
736
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:58,879
Once again,
737
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,925
messages of Christmas greeting have
738
00:49:00,926 --> 00:49:02,920
been exchanged around the world...
739
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,760
carried upon the invisible wings...
740
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,320
of 20th-century science.
741
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,600
And of all those many messages from
all corners of the Commonwealth,
742
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,840
none has given us greater pleasure
743
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,760
than hearing those of my husband...
744
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,880
from the remote and lonely
spaces of Antarctica.
745
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,040
To him, I say...
746
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,520
from all the members of your
family gathered here today...
747
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,880
our very best wishes go to
you on board Britannia.
748
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,920
A very large, united family
is waiting for you here...
749
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,920
and will always be waiting
for you, wherever you are.
750
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,920
- Her Majesty.
- Her Majesty.
751
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,720
I would like to express my gratitude
752
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,640
to those men and women
of the Commonwealth
753
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,440
whose efforts in our great cities...
754
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,160
There you are!
755
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,840
You all right?
756
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,200
Fine.
757
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:34,920
Her speech.
758
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,080
What about it?
759
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,400
Touching. Unexpectedly touching.
760
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,360
Caught me off guard.
761
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,560
I might even have to confess
to feeling a little...
762
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:56,760
Homesick?
763
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:01,440
Yes.
764
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:05,280
Right.
