1
00:00:34,034 --> 00:00:38,914
Gentlemen of the Honorable
Artillery Company, royal salute!

2
00:00:43,877 --> 00:00:47,256
<i>It's not often that
Oueen Elizabeth ll lets the world know</i>

3
00:00:47,339 --> 00:00:49,424
<i>her innermost thoughts and feelings,</i>

4
00:00:50,259 --> 00:00:54,638
<i>but at a lunch today at the Guildhall
to celebrate 40 years on the throne,</i>

5
00:00:54,721 --> 00:00:56,390
<i>she did precisely that.</i>

6
00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:59,685
PIease be upstanding
for Her Majesty the Queen .

7
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:05,440
<i>Her voice still hoarse
from inhaling smoke</i>

8
00:01:05,524 --> 00:01:07,651
<i>and laboring under the weight of a cold,</i>

9
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:11,113
<i>she delivered
an unprecedentedly frank expression</i>

10
00:01:11,196 --> 00:01:14,116
<i>ofpersonal sadness and regret.</i>

11
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:20,122
<i>The stark admission of failure
and a horrible year for the royal family</i>

12
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,041
<i>could be seen as a plea
for sympathy and forgiveness</i>

13
00:01:23,125 --> 00:01:27,588
<i>after what can only be described
as a turbulent 12 months.</i>

14
00:01:28,755 --> 00:01:31,592
<i>But if it was public sympathy
and forgiveness</i>

15
00:01:31,675 --> 00:01:36,346
<i>Her Majesty was hoping for,
it might not be what she gets.</i>

16
00:03:51,398 --> 00:03:53,108
<i>That was "Abide With Me, "</i>

17
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:55,986
<i>performed by
the Choir of King's College, Cambridge,</i>

18
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:58,071
<i>conducted by Stephen Cleobury,</i>

19
00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:02,200
<i>as chosen by today's guest,
Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret.</i>

20
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:06,246
<i>Why did you choose it?
What is the significance of it?</i>

21
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:08,248
<i>It's a hymn,</i>

22
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:11,752
<i>so l would have thought
the significance would have been obvious.</i>

23
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,171
<i>My faith.</i>

24
00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:19,468
<i>Without faith, you might as well say
you've given up, and I haven 't.</i>

25
00:04:20,135 --> 00:04:23,638
<i>Faith has always informed
every decision l've made.</i>

26
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:27,684
<i>In your royal life
or your personal life, as well?</i>

27
00:04:28,727 --> 00:04:33,231
<i>When you have a sister who is
Supreme Governor of the Church of England</i>

28
00:04:33,315 --> 00:04:35,150
<i>and Defender of the Faith,</i>

29
00:04:35,233 --> 00:04:39,946
<i>it's sometimes a little difficult
to separate the two.</i>

30
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:43,658
<i>What is the next record?</i>

31
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:35,085
That's enough .

32
00:05:36,378 --> 00:05:37,754
I said , that's enough !

33
00:05:42,968 --> 00:05:44,094
I mbecile.

34
00:05:56,398 --> 00:05:59,401
<i>That was an excerpt
from Tchaikovsky's</i> Swan Lake

35
00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:01,778
<i>performed by
the London Symphony Orchestra,</i>

36
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:03,780
<i>conducted by André Previn.</i>

37
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:06,992
<i>And the significance of that?</i>

38
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:12,414
Well , I've always had
a special love for the ballet.

39
00:06:13,832 --> 00:06:16,877
There are some things
one cannot express in words,

40
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,422
and dance is a Ianguage of its own .

41
00:06:20,505 --> 00:06:23,133
And , of course,
I used to enjoy dancing myself.

42
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:24,885
Never ballet, though .

43
00:06:24,968 --> 00:06:27,429
Any favorite dance partners
over the years?

44
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,806
I certainly won't be disclosing that.

45
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:35,478
I n any case,
such exertions are best left to the young .

46
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:38,690
One always has one's memories.

47
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,151
Tell us about your next choice.

48
00:06:44,362 --> 00:06:47,782
"Stardust" by Hoagy Carmichael .

49
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,410
You play the piano yourself, of course.

50
00:06:50,493 --> 00:06:53,288
Yes, I had Iessons from a young age.

51
00:06:54,456 --> 00:06:58,919
My sister had Iessons
in constitutional history,

52
00:06:59,002 --> 00:07:01,838
and I had piano.

53
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:04,883
Is music your first Iove?

54
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,473
One has many first loves.

55
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,268
<i>When one reaches a certain age,</i>

56
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:19,356
<i>one cannot help embarking
on an audit of the heart.</i>

57
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,607
<i>A review.</i>

58
00:07:20,690 --> 00:07:24,402
<i>And one considers all those loves,</i>

59
00:07:25,028 --> 00:07:28,114
<i>those dreams and youthful passions,</i>

60
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:30,742
<i>in the context of a whole life.</i>

61
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:33,453
<i>And it's interesting to note what endures.</i>

62
00:07:33,995 --> 00:07:37,374
<i>There are some that remain
and become lasting loves...</i>

63
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:40,210
<i>and some that fade</i>

64
00:07:40,293 --> 00:07:43,797
<i>and one realizes
were probably never true loves at all.</i>

65
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,215
Thankfully,

66
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:51,304
music has been a constant in my Iife,
and I expect it shall remain so.

67
00:07:51,388 --> 00:07:55,642
<i>Does this final record
have any special meaning for you?</i>

68
00:07:56,267 --> 00:07:58,770
<i>It does have
special meaning, yes.</i>

69
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:00,230
<i>And that is?</i>

70
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:02,691
<i>Let's leave it at that.</i>

71
00:08:04,275 --> 00:08:07,654
This is "Stardust"
by Hoagy Carmichael .

72
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,980
<i>Dear Margaret, it is possible
this letter will come as a nasty intrusion</i>

73
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:08,233
<i>rather than a pleasant surprise.</i>

74
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:11,444
<i>I am planning a rare visit to London
from the Íle-de-France</i>

75
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:14,864
<i>and found myself wondering
if you had any plans</i>

76
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:18,409
<i>to attend the reception next week
at the Caledonian Club...</i>

77
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:22,247
". . .for the crew
who served on H MS <i>Vanguard."</i>

78
00:10:22,956 --> 00:10:25,959
Oh , Peter Townsend .

79
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,001
Yes.

80
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:30,213
When was the Iast time you heard from him?

81
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:34,134
Oh , it must be 35 years ago.

82
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:38,179
Isn't H MS <i>Vanguard</i> where you and Peter--?

83
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:39,514
Fell in Iove.

84
00:10:40,598 --> 00:10:43,017
Not sure it was Iove at the beginning .

85
00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:45,645
But of course it was love.

86
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:49,107
At the very first glance.

87
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:50,817
If you say so.

88
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:53,653
I do.

89
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:55,989
The Iove of my life.

90
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,783
The tour of Southern Africa.

91
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:02,370
First time either of us had been abroad ,
so that must have been ...

92
00:11:02,453 --> 00:11:03,496
1 947.

93
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:07,250
Philip had just proposed .
I'd said , "Yes, please."

94
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:10,378
Papa said , "Not so fast,"
and whisked us off on a three-month tour.

95
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:13,047
Hoping you would come to your senses.

96
00:11:13,131 --> 00:11:14,340
Fat chance.

97
00:11:15,717 --> 00:11:18,011
Meanwhile, I was Iosing my senses

98
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:21,723
on early-morning rides
with Papa's dashing equerry.

99
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:25,810
Yes. His dashing , married equerry.

100
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:29,105
Peter was such a good horseman .

101
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:33,735
I daresay.

102
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:37,572
So...

103
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,366
what do you imagine he wants?

104
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:46,039
Must be in his Iate 70s now,
and Iong married .

105
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:47,790
Yes.

106
00:11:47,874 --> 00:11:49,542
Happily married , one hears.

107
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:52,503
With children .

108
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,089
And grandchildren .

109
00:12:03,473 --> 00:12:04,515
Will you go?

110
00:12:05,808 --> 00:12:06,935
I think I might.

111
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:11,272
Why? What's it to you?

112
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:52,814
H is Royal Highness Prince Andrew.

113
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:53,856
Mummy.

114
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:55,650
Darling .

115
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,657
Thank you for agreeing to this.

116
00:13:02,740 --> 00:13:04,617
I asked them to put out some tea.

117
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:07,453
You might want something
stronger than that.

118
00:13:08,413 --> 00:13:09,455
I've...

119
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:12,542
I've come to talk about my marriage.

120
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:18,089
The thing is, I actually have
some sympathy for her regarding Wyatt.

121
00:13:18,965 --> 00:13:23,386
He was a bit rough round the edges,
American , of course,

122
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:25,972
but I'd been away so much with the navy,

123
00:13:26,055 --> 00:13:28,641
it's not surprising
Sarah felt a bit neglected .

124
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:32,186
I mean , all things considered ,
Steve was actually a pretty decent bloke.

125
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:34,063
Who was carrying on with your wife.

126
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:35,732
Not anymore, Mummy.

127
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:37,358
He's out.

128
00:13:38,693 --> 00:13:39,610
Gone.

129
00:13:40,945 --> 00:13:41,946
Good .

130
00:13:42,739 --> 00:13:44,282
But there's another one now.

131
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:48,119
A financial adviser, John Bryan .

132
00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:49,829
Oh , for heaven's sake.

133
00:13:49,912 --> 00:13:53,458
With more photographs to come.

134
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:55,043
Of what?

135
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:56,836
You don't want to know.

136
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:01,841
I n Saint-Tropez,
doing something unmentionable.

137
00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:04,052
You're right. I don't want to know.

138
00:14:04,135 --> 00:14:05,678
Sucking Sarah's toes, Mummy.

139
00:14:07,096 --> 00:14:08,014
What?

140
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:09,182
I know!

141
00:14:09,807 --> 00:14:12,352
People tell me
I put my foot in it from time to time.

142
00:14:12,435 --> 00:14:14,562
At least I don't put it
in someone's mouth .

143
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:16,564
Can you imagine?

144
00:14:16,647 --> 00:14:17,857
Her actual foot.

145
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,319
If he was that hungry,
he could've ordered a sandwich .

146
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:24,655
-Or some sole.
-Sole! That's brilliant.

147
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:36,876
It's. . . It's just
the sheer humiliation of it all .

148
00:14:39,045 --> 00:14:40,630
Which is why, this time,

149
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:44,092
I'm Ieft with no option but to...

150
00:14:45,343 --> 00:14:46,928
well , mention the D-word .

151
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:49,389
Diplomacy?

152
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,307
Détente?

153
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:54,477
Is it asking too much to say "duty"?

154
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:56,771
Divorce, Mummy.

155
00:14:56,854 --> 00:14:58,773
Oh , darling .

156
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:00,316
She's had enough .

157
00:15:02,527 --> 00:15:03,903
And I don't blame her.

158
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:07,949
-I blame us.
-What?

159
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:11,452
We all knew what we were getting into
when we brought Sarah into the family.

160
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:15,998
Everyone was so pro. You more than anyone.

161
00:15:16,499 --> 00:15:17,458
Yes.

162
00:15:18,167 --> 00:15:20,211
She was a breath of fresh air.

163
00:15:20,837 --> 00:15:23,673
Modern , relatable, buckets of fun .

164
00:15:24,757 --> 00:15:26,801
-That Iaugh .
-So infectious.

165
00:15:26,884 --> 00:15:27,885
Yes.

166
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:31,848
But that's what we do in this family.

167
00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:34,142
Destroy anyone that's different.

168
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:36,269
Not at the beginning .

169
00:15:36,352 --> 00:15:38,980
First we tell ourselves
how good they'Il be for the system .

170
00:15:39,647 --> 00:15:43,192
They'II be our salvation ,
our secret weapon .

171
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:46,863
Make us look more modern . More normal .

172
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:49,615
More human .

173
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,787
And we Iearn
the same painful Iessons yet again .

174
00:15:55,455 --> 00:16:02,170
That no one with any character,
originality, spark, wit and flare

175
00:16:02,753 --> 00:16:04,422
<i>has a place in this system.</i>

176
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:11,429
<i>Dear Peter, it was
a great pleasure to hear from you again,</i>

177
00:16:11,512 --> 00:16:14,265
<i>and l look forward
to seeing you on the 7th.</i>

178
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:20,188
<i>I would say keep your eyes open
for a diminutive 00-year-old prune,</i>

179
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:22,899
<i>but mercifully,
time hasn't touched me at all</i>

180
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:28,488
<i>and l'm entirely unchanged
since our last meeting in 1955.</i>

181
00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:51,928
Margaret!

182
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:54,222
-Martin .
-Your Royal Highness.

183
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:55,932
PIease. This way.

184
00:16:56,641 --> 00:16:59,519
...you may remember
accompanying us on the tour.

185
00:16:59,602 --> 00:17:01,604
-How Iovely to see you again .
-And you .

186
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,022
Roger Carter.

187
00:17:06,734 --> 00:17:08,736
Harold Armstrong Scott.

188
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:11,405
-How Iovely to see you again .
-And you .

189
00:17:11,489 --> 00:17:13,574
-Marcus Moore.
-Ma'am .

190
00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:18,913
And the former equerry
to His Majesty the King .

191
00:17:20,957 --> 00:17:22,166
Your Royal Highness.

192
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:25,294
Peter.

193
00:17:28,172 --> 00:17:32,093
... having danced a little too vigorously
with the princesses,

194
00:17:32,802 --> 00:17:38,015
joined in with the festivities,
I , and I expect the rest of you ,

195
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:43,354
will never forget the beauty
of the Drakensberg Mountains,

196
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:45,940
Victoria Falls,

197
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:48,859
endless deserted beaches...

198
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,823
Oh , as well as the Port EIizabeth's...

199
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,446
Aunt Margot.

200
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:37,074
Well , he's certainly put
some color in your cheeks.

201
00:18:38,075 --> 00:18:39,452
Does he have a name?

202
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:41,412
Tim .

203
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:44,123
Does he make you happy?

204
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:47,668
Are you in Iove?

205
00:18:48,794 --> 00:18:50,087
I think I am.

206
00:18:51,255 --> 00:18:53,215
Does everyone disapprove?

207
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:54,675
AImost certainly.

208
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:56,844
Then dig in .

209
00:18:57,845 --> 00:18:59,138
Fight for him.

210
00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:01,641
This song .

211
00:19:02,892 --> 00:19:06,020
-And that's my cue to Ieave.
-Are you going so soon?

212
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:08,189
Yes. Goodbye, darling .

213
00:19:08,272 --> 00:19:10,858
Safe journey home, Margot.

214
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:14,654
This song used to be
your cue to stay.

215
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:17,031
I know, but I ...

216
00:19:17,114 --> 00:19:19,158
I'm afraid I must insist.

217
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:01,051
That was Iovely.

218
00:21:02,511 --> 00:21:07,224
I hope we don't Ieave it another 40 years
before meeting again .

219
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:09,894
Well , as it happens,

220
00:21:11,061 --> 00:21:13,272
I shall be back in London soon .

221
00:21:15,065 --> 00:21:18,486
And there are some things
I'd Iike to return to you .

222
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:20,529
Your letters.

223
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:24,742
Not as a rejection .

224
00:21:26,619 --> 00:21:27,870
I kept them all .

225
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:31,665
Reading them,
it took me back to that time.

226
00:21:31,749 --> 00:21:34,168
And I thought, they're so precious.

227
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:38,589
I'm not getting any younger,
and if anything should happen ,

228
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:42,843
I'd hate to see them fall
into the wrong hands, so I ...

229
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:46,472
Well , I thought better with you .

230
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:50,643
That's very thoughtful of you .

231
00:21:52,603 --> 00:21:55,940
As it happens,
I kept all your Ietters too.

232
00:21:56,690 --> 00:21:57,608
Every one of them .

233
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:04,281
Good night, Peter.

234
00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:06,867
Good night, Your Royal Highness.

235
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,597
The Princess Royal , Your Majesty.

236
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:31,976
-Hello, darling .
-Mummy.

237
00:22:39,149 --> 00:22:40,276
My book.

238
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:42,278
AImost finished .

239
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:46,907
So many other riveting things to read too.

240
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:48,409
Don't.

241
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:51,328
Anyway...

242
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:55,499
I'm here to talk about Tim.

243
00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:57,167
Tim?

244
00:22:59,169 --> 00:23:00,462
Commander Laurence?

245
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:04,550
Are you two still . . .?

246
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:05,718
We are.

247
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,348
And I'm here to say
we intend for it to be permanent.

248
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:15,019
As in till death do us part.

249
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:17,229
What?

250
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:19,773
You hardly know one another.

251
00:23:20,733 --> 00:23:22,651
AImost three years, Mummy.

252
00:23:23,402 --> 00:23:26,614
And the ink is barely dry
on your divorce from Mark.

253
00:23:28,115 --> 00:23:30,534
And in the climate we find ourselves,

254
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:33,787
with so much scrutiny on the family...

255
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:40,085
are you sure
it wouldn't be wise to wait?

256
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:43,672
-Wait?
-Just a Iittle.

257
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:47,593
Darling , I'm glad you've found happiness.

258
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:49,929
I know how difficult it was
in the end with Mark.

259
00:23:50,012 --> 00:23:52,723
But of all the families
you could have been born into,

260
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:56,644
fate has endowed you with this one,
with everything that goes with it.

261
00:23:56,727 --> 00:24:00,439
I ncluding the fact that your mother is
Supreme Governor of the Church of England

262
00:24:00,522 --> 00:24:05,152
and remarriage when the first husband
is still alive, as you well know,

263
00:24:05,235 --> 00:24:07,738
is not only frowned upon, it is forbidden .

264
00:24:07,821 --> 00:24:09,740
I , of all people,

265
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:13,744
hardly need reminding of the requirements
of being in this family.

266
00:24:14,787 --> 00:24:18,540
I have dedicated myself to my role.
Bent myself into shape.

267
00:24:18,624 --> 00:24:20,376
PIaced duty above all else.

268
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:23,128
I ncluding , more often than not,
my own happiness.

269
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:25,297
Five engagements a day

270
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:28,759
300 days a year for the past 24 years.

271
00:24:29,510 --> 00:24:30,386
Well ...

272
00:24:31,387 --> 00:24:32,888
you cannot have all of me.

273
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,308
And I will not give all of me.

274
00:24:38,060 --> 00:24:39,395
And I will marry Tim .

275
00:24:54,868 --> 00:24:57,204
I n you go. I n you go. Good girl .

276
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:00,916
-How was that?
-Fine.

277
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:07,172
-Let's just go.
-Wait.

278
00:26:20,162 --> 00:26:23,082
<i>Your Royal Highness, as requested,</i>

279
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:27,086
<i>l will be accompanying you on a short ride
to Craigowan Lodge tomorrow,</i>

280
00:26:27,169 --> 00:26:28,128
<i>weather permitting.</i>

281
00:26:28,212 --> 00:26:30,798
<i>Group Captain Peter Townsend.</i>

282
00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:37,262
<i>Your Royal Highness,</i>

283
00:26:37,763 --> 00:26:41,558
<i>l've been meaning to thank you
for your kindness in Balmoral.</i>

284
00:26:41,642 --> 00:26:44,978
<i>You may have thought
your kind act went unnoticed,</i>

285
00:26:45,062 --> 00:26:46,772
<i>camouflaged as you were</i>

286
00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,858
<i>in your green tartan skirt
and tweedjacket.</i>

287
00:26:51,026 --> 00:26:52,319
<i>It did not.</i>

288
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:56,406
<i>My darling Margaret,</i>

289
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,660
<i>it was reckless of you
to visit me in my office today.</i>

290
00:27:09,419 --> 00:27:13,465
<i>Reckless and magnificent.</i>

291
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:16,844
<i>I do love you so.</i>

292
00:27:30,899 --> 00:27:32,234
<i>Darling Margaret,</i>

293
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:36,488
<i>it seems the world has intruded
our private Eden</i>

294
00:27:37,406 --> 00:27:39,950
<i>and wants to forbid our love.</i>

295
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:43,996
<i>They're banishing me.</i>

296
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:47,332
<i>Sending me away like a criminal.</i>

297
00:27:49,585 --> 00:27:52,212
<i>I hate to think of you suffering,</i>

298
00:27:52,296 --> 00:27:54,506
<i>a creature made for happiness.</i>

299
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:58,427
<i>Put hold to our pact.</i>

300
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:02,472
<i>Stay true to one another
in spite of everything.</i>

301
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:10,564
<i>Margaret, I write to you
with a heavy heart.</i>

302
00:28:11,231 --> 00:28:15,402
<i>I have just returned to Brussels
from a year abroad around the world.</i>

303
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:19,406
<i>A young woman named Marie-Luce
accompanied me on this trip</i>

304
00:28:19,489 --> 00:28:22,242
<i>as my secretary and photographer.</i>

305
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,705
<i>Her companionship has been
one of the fewjoys in my life.</i>

306
00:28:27,789 --> 00:28:30,167
<i>I have decided to ask her to marry me.</i>

307
00:28:32,044 --> 00:28:34,671
<i>I know you will feel betrayed
by this decision.</i>

308
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:32,896
<i>"Prince Harming, "
they're calling me now.</i>

309
00:29:33,689 --> 00:29:36,566
<i>Amid endless other calumnies and lies.</i>

310
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:40,153
<i>I know you've always tried to see
both sides of the marriage,</i>

311
00:29:40,237 --> 00:29:42,281
<i>but will you now finally agree</i>

312
00:29:42,364 --> 00:29:46,493
that official separation
is the only sensible course?

313
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:47,869
Charles.

314
00:29:50,205 --> 00:29:55,419
If it were just incompatibility
or infidelity, that would be one thing ,

315
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:59,923
but the sheer vindictiveness
of that Morton book.

316
00:30:01,717 --> 00:30:05,220
And then the temerity to insist
that she had nothing to do with it.

317
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:07,931
I've. . . I've done as you asked ,
Mummy. I ...

318
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:11,226
I've tried to make it work

319
00:30:12,102 --> 00:30:15,564
for 11 years, but there comes a point--

320
00:30:15,647 --> 00:30:20,444
I have been no stranger this year
to my children's marital difficulties.

321
00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:24,614
But while Anne's and Andrew's problems
are deeply distressing ,

322
00:30:24,698 --> 00:30:28,702
yours are in a category of their own
because you , as future king ,

323
00:30:28,785 --> 00:30:30,704
are in a category of your own .

324
00:30:31,955 --> 00:30:36,376
At my coronation , I took an oath
that you will one day take at yours

325
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:39,004
to maintain the laws of God .

326
00:30:39,755 --> 00:30:43,008
And God's Iaw
is that marriage is for Iife.

327
00:30:44,426 --> 00:30:48,305
And while it is expected for the monarch
to be married and produce an heir,

328
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:52,976
being happily married is a preference
rather than a requirement.

329
00:30:54,895 --> 00:30:58,357
You also took a solemn promise
to maintain and protect the Crown .

330
00:30:59,274 --> 00:31:03,195
Diana won't rest
until she's blown the whole thing up.

331
00:31:03,278 --> 00:31:04,738
Is that what you want?

332
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:12,329
It's funny, isn't it? I ...

333
00:31:12,954 --> 00:31:15,499
For years, I've called
for a more modern monarchy

334
00:31:15,582 --> 00:31:17,376
that reflects the world outside.

335
00:31:19,419 --> 00:31:22,923
Look at the rates of family breakdown
out there, and then Iook at us.

336
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,467
Margaret, divorced .

337
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:26,551
Anne, divorced .

338
00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:27,511
AII right.

339
00:31:27,594 --> 00:31:30,514
Andrew, humiliated
and heading for divorce.

340
00:31:30,597 --> 00:31:35,268
Me, trapped and dreaming of divorce.
And you talk about moral examples.

341
00:31:36,436 --> 00:31:41,191
If we were an ordinary family
and Social Services came to visit,

342
00:31:41,274 --> 00:31:43,610
they'd have thrown us into care
and you into jail !

343
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:44,694
That's enough .

344
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:49,074
We got our modern monarchy, all right.

345
00:31:50,742 --> 00:31:52,369
Just not in the way we hoped .

346
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:04,631
<i>It begins to look
like parental failure of the gravest kind.</i>

347
00:32:07,384 --> 00:32:10,178
Yet the Duke of Edinburgh and I
could not have been more clear

348
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:14,057
with the children about how important
we consider marriage to be.

349
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:20,939
I have every sympathy.

350
00:32:22,023 --> 00:32:24,067
My own daughter is divorced .

351
00:32:25,527 --> 00:32:27,237
My son is separated .

352
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:32,909
AII we can do is ask for God's guidance.

353
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:35,829
How did it come to this?

354
00:32:38,665 --> 00:32:42,711
Our generation was brought up
to believe that marriage was an ideal

355
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:44,838
and divorce was a problem.

356
00:32:46,673 --> 00:32:47,924
This generation ...

357
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:50,969
Yes.

358
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:56,850
But the prince and princess
are not yet separated .

359
00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:00,270
There is still hope of reconciliation .

360
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:04,232
And we all pray for it.

361
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:09,112
We do.

362
00:33:12,699 --> 00:33:13,700
Daily.

363
00:33:50,195 --> 00:33:53,657
<i>Reports are coming in
of a fire at Windsor Castle, with...</i>

364
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:57,035
<i>One eyewitness said
flames and smoke are visible</i>

365
00:33:57,118 --> 00:33:59,663
<i>from the roof of the northeast wing...</i>

366
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:02,874
<i>Her Majesty is
being kept informed of the operation,</i>

367
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:06,002
<i>and it's understood
that she 's on her way to the scene.</i>

368
00:34:25,897 --> 00:34:28,024
<i>"It went up like a tinderbox."</i>

369
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:31,027
<i>Those were the words
of one observer about this blaze,</i>

370
00:34:31,111 --> 00:34:33,446
<i>which, despite the efforts
of the fire service,</i>

371
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:36,825
<i>still shows no signs
of being brought under control.</i>

372
00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:40,579
<i>The entire north terrace
is ravaged by flames.</i>

373
00:34:40,662 --> 00:34:43,707
<i>Fire crews are working determinedly
to stop them spreading</i>

374
00:34:43,790 --> 00:34:47,377
<i>and destroying some of Britain 's
most priceless treasures.</i>

375
00:34:48,253 --> 00:34:51,381
<i>It's now about six hours
since this fire started,</i>

376
00:34:51,464 --> 00:34:55,635
<i>and much of the top left-hand side
of Windsor Castle is still on fire,</i>

377
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,761
<i>still burning.</i>

378
00:34:56,845 --> 00:35:00,307
<i>The destruction inside,
l'm told, is absolutely enormous.</i>

379
00:35:00,390 --> 00:35:04,811
<i>Ceilings have come down, smoke damage,
fire damage, water damage.</i>

380
00:35:04,894 --> 00:35:06,938
<i>I was talking to one of the Queen 's aides,</i>

381
00:35:07,022 --> 00:35:10,358
<i>and l asked him what she felt
about what had happened</i>

382
00:35:10,442 --> 00:35:12,110
<i>and what her mood about it was,</i>

383
00:35:12,193 --> 00:35:16,448
<i>and he said that she 's like any mother
watching her own home burn down.</i>

384
00:35:16,531 --> 00:35:18,617
<i>She 's obviously absolutely devastated.</i>

385
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:22,203
<i>People are just absolutely stunned
by what's happening around them.</i>

386
00:36:29,396 --> 00:36:30,730
<i>The Rembrandt?</i>

387
00:36:31,398 --> 00:36:32,482
Saved .

388
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:35,235
The Rubens?

389
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:37,529
Thank God , saved .

390
00:36:37,612 --> 00:36:39,030
And the Leonardo.

391
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:43,952
But tragically, more than a hundred rooms,

392
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:48,206
including nine staterooms, destroyed .

393
00:36:49,624 --> 00:36:52,585
What about the Crimson Drawing Room?

394
00:36:52,669 --> 00:36:53,837
Dare I ask?

395
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:57,716
I'm surprised you remember it.

396
00:36:58,967 --> 00:37:00,927
Of course I remember it.

397
00:37:02,804 --> 00:37:06,808
Everyone had gone up to London
for some ceremony or other.

398
00:37:06,891 --> 00:37:09,519
It was the Maundy service at St. Paul's.

399
00:37:09,602 --> 00:37:11,104
Leaving us alone.

400
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:17,277
We spent a whole affernoon
in the Crimson Room,

401
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,529
Iocked in conversation .

402
00:37:19,612 --> 00:37:20,613
Yes.

403
00:37:21,948 --> 00:37:24,075
Whatever were we talking about?

404
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:28,246
Everything and nothing , I suppose.

405
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:29,456
Not nothing .

406
00:37:31,291 --> 00:37:35,712
As I remember, we were excitedly
making plans for our future.

407
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:40,675
With such certainty and conviction .

408
00:37:43,470 --> 00:37:45,305
Like those plans,

409
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:48,558
I'm afraid the Crimson Room
did not survive.

410
00:37:50,852 --> 00:37:51,853
How sad .

411
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:53,813
Yes.

412
00:37:56,649 --> 00:37:57,984
I'm curious...

413
00:37:59,319 --> 00:38:02,614
What made you write to me
affer all that time?

414
00:38:05,492 --> 00:38:07,577
No life goes on forever.

415
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:15,251
Recently I had that made clear to me
by my doctor.

416
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,007
Peter, I'm so sorry.

417
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,596
Around the same time,
I heard a radio interview with you ,

418
00:38:26,679 --> 00:38:29,015
and I suppose I wanted to know

419
00:38:30,683 --> 00:38:31,935
if our Iove,

420
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,730
in the context of a whole Iife,

421
00:38:37,565 --> 00:38:39,317
had been a fleeting one...

422
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:42,987
or a Iasting one.

423
00:39:12,851 --> 00:39:14,602
<i>...face intense questioning</i>

424
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:17,188
<i>over how the restoration bill will be met.</i>

425
00:39:17,272 --> 00:39:20,817
<i>Some Labour MPs say
the Oueen, not taxpayers,</i>

426
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,944
<i>should pay for all repair work.</i>

427
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:26,656
<i>The monarchy can't have it
always a one-way system</i>

428
00:39:26,739 --> 00:39:30,577
<i>under which we,
the taxpayers, pick up the bills</i>

429
00:39:31,244 --> 00:39:33,746
<i>but they refuse to be
taxpayers themselves.</i>

430
00:39:33,830 --> 00:39:36,666
<i>Neither the building
nor its contents were insured.</i>

431
00:39:36,749 --> 00:39:38,167
Good time? Bad time?

432
00:39:38,251 --> 00:39:40,211
<i>...may be launched.
Offers of help...</i>

433
00:39:40,295 --> 00:39:42,171
The very worst of times.

434
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:45,550
Any idea how it started?

435
00:39:46,718 --> 00:39:48,261
The great metaphor?

436
00:39:49,137 --> 00:39:50,638
I mean , fire.

437
00:39:52,891 --> 00:39:55,393
A spotlight blew a fuse or something .

438
00:39:56,019 --> 00:39:59,397
I n the private chapel .
AII very innocent.

439
00:40:01,274 --> 00:40:02,483
Or was it?

440
00:40:03,818 --> 00:40:05,445
Like one of those...

441
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:08,740
Agatha Christie mysteries.

442
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:12,118
One can imagine multiple suspects,

443
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:16,915
each with their own perfectly
plausible motive to burn the place down .

444
00:40:16,998 --> 00:40:17,999
Who?

445
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:19,542
My neighbor, for one.

446
00:40:20,460 --> 00:40:21,628
Diana?

447
00:40:21,711 --> 00:40:25,006
Frustrated after years of neglect,

448
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:28,092
she decides to take the matter
into her own hands.

449
00:40:28,885 --> 00:40:32,347
Though arson probably isn't
violent enough for her.

450
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:34,265
She'd prefer an atomic bomb.

451
00:40:35,224 --> 00:40:37,310
Hasn't she detonated that already?

452
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:40,021
Andrew, the Duke of York,

453
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:41,814
furious at his own mother

454
00:40:41,898 --> 00:40:45,026
for having led him to believe
his whole Iife

455
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:47,862
that he was irresistible and invulnerable,

456
00:40:47,946 --> 00:40:53,701
only to discover his principal role
is to be humiliated .

457
00:40:54,661 --> 00:40:55,662
Me.

458
00:40:58,915 --> 00:40:59,874
You?

459
00:41:02,085 --> 00:41:07,507
You don't think I have reason
to burn down my sister's home?

460
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,385
Why would you do that?

461
00:41:12,762 --> 00:41:14,847
Because of what she denied me.

462
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:20,687
Peter Townsend .

463
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,481
What?

464
00:41:25,149 --> 00:41:27,944
Without sun and water...

465
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:33,783
crops fail , Lilibet.

466
00:41:35,618 --> 00:41:40,999
Let me ask, how many times
has Philip done something?

467
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:44,585
I ntervened when you couldn't?

468
00:41:45,211 --> 00:41:47,255
Be strong when you couldn't be?

469
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:48,965
Be angry when you couldn't be?

470
00:41:49,048 --> 00:41:51,592
Be decisive when you couldn't be?

471
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:54,887
How many times have you said
a silent prayer of gratitude for him

472
00:41:54,971 --> 00:41:59,517
and thought, "If I didn't have him,
I'd never be able to do it"? How often?

473
00:42:02,145 --> 00:42:03,688
Peter was my sun .

474
00:42:07,025 --> 00:42:08,151
My water.

475
00:42:09,986 --> 00:42:11,696
And you denied me him.

476
00:42:12,488 --> 00:42:16,617
I denied you as Queen , not as your sister.

477
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,830
The conditions are irrelevant.
The prohibition is what counts.

478
00:42:20,913 --> 00:42:24,751
A prohibition , incidentally,
you are not now extending to Anne.

479
00:42:24,834 --> 00:42:27,587
-That is different.
-How is it different?

480
00:42:29,464 --> 00:42:34,677
Anne is a royal princess with no prospect
of acceding to the throne, as was I .

481
00:42:36,220 --> 00:42:40,975
Commander Laurence is a palace equerry
marrying scandalously above his station .

482
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:45,271
Peter was a palace equerry
hoping to marry scandalously above his.

483
00:42:45,354 --> 00:42:48,775
Anne and Commander Laurence are in Iove.
Peter and I were in Iove.

484
00:42:48,858 --> 00:42:51,819
I n both cases, one party is a divorcée.

485
00:42:51,903 --> 00:42:56,324
The situation is identical
in every way except for the outcome.

486
00:42:57,700 --> 00:43:00,119
She is being allowed to marry him .

487
00:43:03,372 --> 00:43:04,499
I wasn't.

488
00:43:07,210 --> 00:43:09,378
Her story ends happily.

489
00:43:13,341 --> 00:43:14,509
Mine did not.

490
00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:24,519
And yet, even affer 40 years,

491
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:30,608
you cannot bring yourself
to acknowledge what happened to me

492
00:43:30,691 --> 00:43:33,069
and the part you played in it.

493
00:44:46,893 --> 00:44:48,186
Thank you , Peggy.

494
00:44:48,269 --> 00:44:50,021
-Your Majesty.
-Mummy?

495
00:44:50,855 --> 00:44:54,108
That's a surprise.
I'd been told you're unwell .

496
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:57,862
-It's just a cold .
-I heard fever.

497
00:44:58,654 --> 00:45:01,657
I n which case,
the only sensible course is bed rest.

498
00:45:01,741 --> 00:45:03,993
It's a Iunch to celebrate me.

499
00:45:04,076 --> 00:45:06,370
-I can't pull out.
-Yes, you can .

500
00:45:06,954 --> 00:45:08,873
And I don't want to pull out.

501
00:45:15,755 --> 00:45:18,341
I've also taken a Iook
at the speech .

502
00:45:19,217 --> 00:45:21,677
You know the three questions
we always ask ourselves:

503
00:45:21,761 --> 00:45:23,137
Does it need saying?

504
00:45:23,638 --> 00:45:24,931
Does it need saying now?

505
00:45:25,765 --> 00:45:27,475
Does it need saying by me?

506
00:45:29,060 --> 00:45:33,481
And to describe it in this way,
<i>annus horribilis?</i>

507
00:45:34,315 --> 00:45:36,317
People will remark on it.

508
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,237
Not just because of
the theatrical deviation into Latin .

509
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,196
What's your point?

510
00:45:40,279 --> 00:45:44,200
My point, since we're speaking Latin now,

511
00:45:44,909 --> 00:45:47,286
is <i>tempus fugit.</i>

512
00:45:48,663 --> 00:45:51,207
Time passes.
People will move on and forget.

513
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:54,919
Make a statement Iike this,
no one will forget.

514
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:58,214
Quite apart from the fact
it's an expression of personal sentiment,

515
00:45:58,297 --> 00:46:00,591
-the kind of which we do not make.
-Mummy--

516
00:46:00,675 --> 00:46:03,386
And it could also be interpreted

517
00:46:03,469 --> 00:46:08,766
as an admission of our failings,
which will only encourage further attacks.

518
00:46:08,849 --> 00:46:12,895
It has been , by some margin ,
the worst year of my reign .

519
00:46:13,562 --> 00:46:17,066
Quite possibly my life.
I'm happy for people to know.

520
00:46:18,025 --> 00:46:20,903
Know what? That their queen is depressed?

521
00:46:20,987 --> 00:46:23,322
That I'm made of flesh and blood .

522
00:46:24,407 --> 00:46:27,243
And that perhaps I ha--
We have fallen short

523
00:46:27,326 --> 00:46:28,786
in our duty as a family

524
00:46:28,869 --> 00:46:31,080
and owe them an apology.

525
00:46:31,872 --> 00:46:33,374
Apology?

526
00:46:35,668 --> 00:46:37,920
That word shouldn't be in your vocabulary.

527
00:46:40,673 --> 00:46:43,759
Monarchy is the only part
of the constitution

528
00:46:43,843 --> 00:46:45,636
with an element of the divine.

529
00:46:47,221 --> 00:46:51,267
When you wear the crown ,
you are transfigured .

530
00:46:51,892 --> 00:46:56,105
Apologizing sullies
not just your dignity but God's,

531
00:46:57,273 --> 00:47:00,151
whose will it is that you are who you are.

532
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:06,032
I'm not sure
if there's anything to be gained by that.

533
00:47:06,115 --> 00:47:07,700
Yes, there is.

534
00:47:08,284 --> 00:47:10,119
Her peace of mind .

535
00:47:11,370 --> 00:47:14,790
She's done God's will
about as immaculately as any human

536
00:47:14,874 --> 00:47:16,667
for the past 40 years.

537
00:47:18,044 --> 00:47:21,047
She's earned the right
to say anything she Iikes.

538
00:47:21,964 --> 00:47:23,924
And it's our job to support her.

539
00:47:25,051 --> 00:47:27,636
-U nconditionally.
-Since when have you sung that tune?

540
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:30,681
Since day one he's sung that tune.
Day one.

541
00:47:38,981 --> 00:47:40,441
Now, if you don't mind ,

542
00:47:40,524 --> 00:47:42,443
we're due at the Guildhall .

543
00:47:54,372 --> 00:47:59,168
Gentlemen of the Honorable
Artillery Company, royal salute!

544
00:48:09,845 --> 00:48:13,224
PIease be upstanding
for Her Majesty the Queen .

545
00:48:14,975 --> 00:48:16,602
<i>My Lord Mayor,</i>

546
00:48:17,978 --> 00:48:21,315
<i>the anniversary of any occasion</i>

547
00:48:21,399 --> 00:48:23,734
<i>is a time to reflect.</i>

548
00:48:25,194 --> 00:48:28,864
<i>But in light of the events
of the last 12 months,</i>

549
00:48:29,615 --> 00:48:33,577
<i>perhaps I have more
to reflect on than most.</i>

550
00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:38,332
1 992 is not a year

551
00:48:38,416 --> 00:48:42,837
on which I shall Iook back
with undiluted pleasure.

552
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,718
It has turned out to be
an <i>annus horribilis.</i>

553
00:48:51,637 --> 00:48:55,224
No institution
is beyond reproach ,

554
00:48:55,975 --> 00:48:58,060
and no member of it either.

555
00:48:59,812 --> 00:49:04,942
The high standards we in the monarchy
are held to by the public

556
00:49:05,526 --> 00:49:11,615
must be the same benchmark
to which we hold ourselves personally.

557
00:49:12,575 --> 00:49:16,662
If we can't admit the errors of our past,

558
00:49:17,872 --> 00:49:23,961
what hope for reconciliation can there be?

559
00:49:27,381 --> 00:49:28,466
Today...

560
00:49:29,091 --> 00:49:34,096
<i>...l'd like to pay tribute,
if I may, to my family.</i>

561
00:49:36,432 --> 00:49:40,227
<i>Throughout the four decades
l have been on the throne,</i>

562
00:49:41,437 --> 00:49:44,273
<i>they have quite literally been</i>

563
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:47,485
my sun and water.

564
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:51,947
<i>For all the sacrifices they have made,</i>

565
00:49:52,948 --> 00:49:56,327
<i>indeed, to all ofyou here,</i>

566
00:49:56,410 --> 00:49:59,079
<i>whose prayers and well wishes</i>

567
00:49:59,622 --> 00:50:02,333
have been a source of strength to me

568
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,169
these last 40 years,

569
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,214
I say thank you .

570
00:50:10,049 --> 00:50:15,888
<i>Please be upstanding
for Her Majesty the Oueen.</i>

571
00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:45,292
-Annus horribilis?
<i>-lt has been, for all ofyou.</i>

572
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:47,753
<i>And l can see
much of that has been my fault.</i>

573
00:50:47,836 --> 00:50:49,421
<i>For the record,</i>

574
00:50:50,381 --> 00:50:51,924
<i>no one blames you.</i>

575
00:50:52,675 --> 00:50:55,803
On the contrary,
everyone blames me all of the time.

576
00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:57,846
And you're right to.

577
00:50:58,597 --> 00:51:02,768
<i>This system, of which the sovereign
is the principal beneficiary,</i>

578
00:51:02,851 --> 00:51:06,021
<i>is horribly hard on the rest of you.</i>

579
00:51:06,105 --> 00:51:07,022
You too.

580
00:51:07,106 --> 00:51:09,400
But that's the job. Let's face it.

581
00:51:11,986 --> 00:51:15,322
<i>Thank you.
Come and have lunch here tomorrow.</i>

582
00:51:15,406 --> 00:51:17,783
We could get a Iittle bit tipsy.

583
00:51:18,993 --> 00:51:20,244
Make light of it all .

584
00:51:20,744 --> 00:51:22,913
<i>The fire, the job...</i>

585
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:24,790
<i>The children.</i>

586
00:51:25,499 --> 00:51:27,167
<i>Peter Townsend.</i>

587
00:51:27,251 --> 00:51:28,419
I'd Iove to.

588
00:51:29,753 --> 00:51:32,631
But, sadly, I'm going to Carlisle
to open a business park.

589
00:51:33,924 --> 00:51:35,551
<i>Then Penrith.</i>

590
00:51:36,427 --> 00:51:38,345
<i>For the Scots Guard Association.</i>

591
00:51:39,346 --> 00:51:43,684
Then Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria
to visit the Factory of Heredities.

592
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:47,479
Then I'II have to get sloshed on my own .

593
00:51:47,563 --> 00:51:48,897
<i>With Rum.</i>

594
00:51:48,981 --> 00:51:49,940
Rum?

595
00:51:50,608 --> 00:51:54,194
You're not drinking rum like some pirate?

596
00:51:55,487 --> 00:51:57,114
<i>No! Ruml</i>

597
00:51:57,740 --> 00:52:00,492
My dog .

598
00:52:04,997 --> 00:52:06,165
That's funny.

599
00:52:06,790 --> 00:52:09,877
I'm here with Brandy and Sherry.

600
00:52:13,213 --> 00:52:15,132
What does that say about us?

601
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,387
Good night, Lilibet.

602
00:52:21,221 --> 00:52:22,806
I do Iove you .

603
00:52:26,852 --> 00:52:28,312
I love you too.

604
00:52:28,896 --> 00:52:29,938
Very much .

605
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:36,862
God , that was middle-class.
Promise me we'Il never do that again .

606
00:52:36,945 --> 00:52:38,364
Never.

607
00:52:40,324 --> 00:52:42,284
<i>-Good night.</i>
-Good night.
