SPENT MUCH OF HIS 50-YEAR REIGN
144
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,925
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTRANSFORMING
THE MILITARY FORTRESS
145
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:10,030
{\an7}INTO THE CEREMONIAL SHOWPIECE
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIT IS TODAY.

{\an7}Marc Morris: WHY THEY DECIDED ON
THEIR SYMBOL BEING A GARTER BELT
147
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:16,036
{\an7}IS REALLY ANYONE’S GUESS.
148
00:07:16,136 --> 00:07:19,906
{\an7}\h\hUM, IT SEEMS MORE LIKELY
THAT IT WAS A MILITARY BELT,
149
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:21,442
{\an7}LIKE A SWORD BELT,
150
00:07:21,474 --> 00:07:24,344
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hUM, AND THAT IT WAS
A DELIBERATELY OBSCURE SYMBOL
151
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:27,313
{\an7}\hBECAUSE THIS WAS
A VERY ELITE CLUB.
152
00:07:27,347 --> 00:07:29,549
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hREMEMBER
THERE ARE ONLY 26 PEOPLE
153
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:34,787
{\an7}IN THIS SUPER SELECT
\h\hCHIVALRIC CLUB.

{\an7}Narrator: PRINCE PHILIP REALIZED
155
00:07:36,356 --> 00:07:40,527
{\an7}THAT SOME WINDSOR TRADITIONS
\h\h\h\h\hWERE UNTOUCHABLE,
156
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,464
{\an7}BUT THERE WERE OTHER CUSTOMS
\h\h\h\h\hHE COULDN’T STAND.
157
00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:46,866
{\an7}\h\hBrendon: THE FORMALITY WAS
THERE. THE FLUMMERY WAS THERE.
158
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:50,237
{\an7}\hYOU KNOW, PERIWIGGED FLUNKIES
MARCHING BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS,
159
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:51,505
{\an7}AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING,
160
00:07:51,538 --> 00:07:54,007
{\an7}WHICH ACTUALLY IRRITATED
\h\h\h\h\hPRINCE PHILIP.

{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
WHEN PHILIP TRIED TO GET RID
162
00:07:55,342 --> 00:07:57,477
{\an7}\h\hOF THE FOOTMEN’S
OLD-FASHIONED WIGS,
163
00:07:57,510 --> 00:08:00,546
{\an7}\hTHE BIGWIGS AT WINDSOR
WERE HAVING NONE OF IT.
164
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:01,714
{\an7}Hoey: THE MASTER
OF THE HOUSEHOLD
165
00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:03,149
{\an7}AT THAT TIME WAS FURIOUS.
166
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:04,818
{\an7}HE SAID NO, THEY’VE BEEN
HAVING IT FOR 300 YEARS.
167
00:08:04,851 --> 00:08:07,520
{\an7}WHY SHOULDN’T THEY HAVE IT NOW?
168
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:09,890
{\an7}\hNarrator: PHILIP GREW
INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED.
169
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:15,028
{\an7}\hIN HIS WORLD, MEN BROUGHT HOME
THE BACON AND LAID DOWN THE LAW.
170
00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:17,497
{\an7}Brendon: HE FELT, I THINK,
\h\h\h\hTHAT HE HAD TO TRY
171
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,899
{\an7}AND FORGE A ROLE FOR HIMSELF,
172
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:23,136
{\an7}BUT THE COURTIERS WOULDN’T
ALLOW HIM TO TAKE A PART.
173
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:25,571
{\an7}\hTHEY WERE FEARFUL
OF HIS INTERFERENCE.
174
00:08:25,605 --> 00:08:27,640
{\an7}THEY DIDN’T TRUST HIM.
175
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:30,477
{\an7}HE WAS FRUSTRATED
\hON EVERY COUNT.
176
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:34,514

CONFLICT OF THE QUEEN’S MARRIAGE

00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:42,556

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWAS BREWING.

{\an7}WHEN HE MARRIED THE QUEEN,
180
00:08:44,124 --> 00:08:47,227
{\an7}PHILIP KNEW HE’D BE PLAYING
\h\hSECOND FIDDLE IN PUBLIC,
181
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:52,298
{\an7}\h\hWALKING TWO STEPS BEHIND
HIS WIFE AT OFFICIAL EVENTS.
182
00:08:52,332 --> 00:08:55,602
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBUT HE SOON FOUND
IT WAS THE SAME IN PRIVATE, TOO.
183
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:58,338
{\an7}EVEN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS
\h\h\h\h\hOF WINDSOR CASTLE,
184
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,808
{\an7}PHILIP HAD NO ROLE.
185
00:09:01,841 --> 00:09:04,143
{\an7}HE WAS BARRED FROM LOOKING
\h\h\h\hAT OFFICIAL PAPERS
186
00:09:04,177 --> 00:09:06,846
{\an7}OR DISCUSSING MATTERS OF STATE
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWITH THE QUEEN.
187
00:09:09,416 --> 00:09:11,018
{\an7}TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY,
188
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:12,519
{\an7}IT WAS DECIDED PHILIP’S CHILDREN
189
00:09:12,552 --> 00:09:15,221
{\an7}WOULDN’T TAKE HIS FAMILY NAME,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBATTENBERG,
190
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:18,458
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT INSTEAD,
HIS WIFE’S, WINDSOR.
191
00:09:18,491 --> 00:09:20,360
{\an7}Eade: WHEN THIS NEWS HIT HIM,
192
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,796
{\an7}IT CAME AS A VERY DISMAYING
\hAND SHOCKING BLOW FOR HIM.
193
00:09:23,830 --> 00:09:26,533
{\an7}\hBrendon: HE FAMOUSLY SAID,
"I’M JUST A BLOODY AMOEBA."
194
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:29,769
{\an7}HE, HE DIDN’T SEEM
\hTO HAVE A ROLE.
195
00:09:29,803 --> 00:09:30,904
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
PHILIP’S JOB WAS TO MANAGE
196
00:09:30,937 --> 00:09:33,239
{\an7}THE QUEEN’S PRIVATE ESTATES.
197
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,376
{\an7}BUT THIS ALPHA MALE
\h\h\hWASN’T CONTENT
198
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,646
{\an7}JUST TO BE ROYAL ARM CANDY.
199
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:45,318
{\an7}PRINCE PHILIP WAS FRUSTRATED.
200
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:50,723
{\an7}\hHE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUSE
WITH NO SAY IN HOW IT WAS RUN.
201
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:55,328
{\an7}HE WAS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY
\h\hTHAT DIDN’T TAKE HIS NAME.
202
00:09:55,361 --> 00:09:58,598
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hBORED AND RESENTFUL,
PHILIP WAS BECOMING A PROBLEM,
203
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:02,502
{\an7}\hAND ONLY THE QUEEN
COULD HELP SOLVE IT.
204
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:05,538
{\an7}\h\hHoey: THE QUEEN DECIDED THAT
SHE WANTED TO GIVE PHILIP A JOB.
205
00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:08,407
{\an7}SHE--HE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING
\h\hBECAUSE HE WAS FRUSTRATED
206
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:11,744
{\an7}\hOBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
OFFICIAL POSITION FOR A CONSORT,
207
00:10:11,778 --> 00:10:13,513
{\an7}FOR A MALE CONSORT IN THIS WAY.
208
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:16,449
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
AND SHE FOUND THE SOLUTION
209
00:10:16,483 --> 00:10:19,019
{\an7}ON WINDSOR CASTLE’S DOORSTEP.
210
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:21,954
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hIN APRIL 1952,
THE QUEEN APPOINTED PHILIP
211
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:27,027
{\an7}TO THE ANCIENT TITLE OF RANGER
\h\h\h\hOF WINDSOR GREAT PARK,
212
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:30,430
{\an7}\h\h\hPUTTING HIM IN CHARGE
OF 4,800 ACRES OF PARKLAND,
213
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:34,067
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hFARMLAND, GARDENS,
GOLF COURSES, A RACECOURSE,
214
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,369
{\an7}AND SEVERAL STATELY HOMES.
215
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,509
{\an7}THE QUEEN HOPED WINDSOR’S
\h\h\h\h\hVAST BACK GARDEN
216
00:10:42,542 --> 00:10:45,945
{\an7}WOULD KEEP PHILIP BUSY
\h\h\h\h\h\hAND HAPPY.
217
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:49,382
{\an7}\hIT DID, BUT NOT QUITE
IN THE WAY SHE’D HOPED.
218
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:55,322
{\an7}WHEN PRINCE PHILIP WAS APPOINTED
RANGER OF WINDSOR GREAT PARK,
219
00:10:55,355 --> 00:10:57,357
{\an7}HE THREW HIMSELF INTO THE TASK.
220
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:59,125
{\an7}\h\h\hHE INTRODUCED
A HERD OF RED DEER,
221
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:00,860
{\an7}PLANTED AVENUES OF TREES,
222
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:03,930
{\an7}AND MADE WINDSOR’S FARMLAND
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPROFITABLE,
223
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:07,533
{\an7}\h\h\hBUT THEN PHILIP DECIDED TO
COMBINE BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE.
224
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:16,342
{\an7}IN 1955, HE CONVERTED AN UNUSED
AIRSTRIP IN WINDSOR GREAT PARK
225
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:20,680
{\an7}\h\hINTO ONE OF THE FINEST
POLO GROUNDS IN THE WORLD.
226
00:11:20,713 --> 00:11:23,015
{\an7}IT WAS HOME TO THE CLUB
\h\h\h\hPHILIP FOUNDED,
227
00:11:23,049 --> 00:11:27,820
{\an7}\h\h\hTHE GUARD’S POLO CLUB,
WITH HIMSELF AS STAR PLAYER.
228
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:29,422
{\an7}Eade: HIS WIRY PHYSIQUE,
229
00:11:29,455 --> 00:11:31,424
{\an7}HIS EXCEPTIONAL EYE
\h\h\hFOR THE BALL,
230
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:33,626
{\an7}MEANT THAT HE SOON BECAME
AN EXTREMELY GOOD PLAYER,
231
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,662
{\an7}\hAND THE GAME BECAME
ONE THE GREAT PASSIONS
232
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:38,498
{\an7}OF HIS YOUNG LIFE.
233
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:40,333
{\an7}\h\h\hNarrator: BUT THIS
SEEMINGLY HARMLESS HOBBY
234
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:42,535
{\an7}GOT PHILIP INTO NEW TROUBLE.
235
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:44,004
{\an7}HE WAS SO KEEN ON THE SPORT,
236
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,172
{\an7}HE WASN’T JUST PLAYING
\h\h\h\h\hAT WINDSOR.
237
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:48,942
{\an7}\h\hHE WAS TRAVELING
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
238
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:52,645
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBrendon:
HE USED HIS OFFICIAL POSITION
239
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,184
{\an7}\h\hTO MAKE THE COUNTRY PAY
FOR HIS JAUNTS TO PLAY POLO,
240
00:11:57,217 --> 00:12:01,888
{\an7}AND THE TREASURY GOT VERY,
\h\hVERY CROSS ABOUT THIS.
241
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:05,158
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: PHILIP’S OBSESSION
WITH POLO WAS KEEPING HIM BUSY,
242
00:12:05,191 --> 00:12:10,063
{\an7}BUT IT WAS TAKING ITS TOLL
\h\h\h\h\hON HIS MARRIAGE.
243
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:12,465
{\an7}BECAUSE ALTHOUGH PHILIP
WAS THERE FOR THE SPORT,
244
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:14,433
{\an7}WHERE THERE WERE POLO PLAYERS,
245
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:18,705
{\an7}\hTHERE WERE PARTIES,
CHAMPAGNE, AND WOMEN.
246
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:20,506
{\an7}Richard Kay: WELL, THERE’S,
THERE’S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING
247
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,143
{\an7}ABOUT HORSES AND POLO
WHICH EXCITE PASSIONS
248
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:26,546
{\an7}IN, IN HUMAN BEINGS, TOO.
249
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:29,382
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator: IN 1956,
AMERICAN AND AUSTRALIAN PAPERS
250
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:30,750
{\an7}BEGAN PRINTING RUMORS
251
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:33,286
{\an7}\hTHAT PRINCE PHILIP
WAS HAVING AFFAIRS.
252
00:12:38,291 --> 00:12:39,726
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hNO EVIDENCE
HAS EVER BEEN PRODUCED
253
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:41,461
{\an7}THAT PHILIP WAS UNFAITHFUL,
254
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:43,162
{\an7}BUT HISTORIAN PIERS BRENDON
255
00:12:43,196 --> 00:12:46,766
{\an7}BELIEVES THE MARRIAGE
\hWAS IN SOME TROUBLE.
256
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:48,234
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBrendon:
IT SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY CLEAR
257
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:51,772
{\an7}THAT THERE WAS A CERTAIN, UM,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBREAKDOWN.
258
00:12:51,804 --> 00:12:55,141
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHERE WERE, OF COURSE,
LOTS OF RUMORS OF INFIDELITY,
259
00:12:55,174 --> 00:12:57,510
{\an7}\h\h\hNONE OF WHICH
HAVE BEEN STOOD UP.
260
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,146
{\an7}BUT IT MUST BE SAID THAT PHILIP,
DUKE OF EDINBURGH,
261
00:13:00,179 --> 00:13:04,850
{\an7}HAD LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES
\h\h\h\h\h\hTO MISBEHAVE.
262
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:07,019
{\an7}\hNarrator: THE QUEEN’S IDEA
FOR HOW TO KEEP PHILIP BUSY
263
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,489
{\an7}HAD SOMEWHAT BACKFIRED.
264
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,457
{\an7}JUST FOUR YEARS INTO HER REIGN,
265
00:13:11,491 --> 00:13:13,159
{\an7}THE GLOSS WAS COMING
\h\h\hOFF THE IMAGE
266
00:13:13,192 --> 00:13:16,362
{\an7}OF THE GLAMOROUS YOUNG COUPLE
\h\h\h\h\h\hAT WINDSOR CASTLE.
267
00:13:16,396 --> 00:13:20,600
{\an7}Brendon: THERE WAS A SENSE
\hTHAT HE WANTED TO ESCAPE
268
00:13:20,633 --> 00:13:25,371
{\an7}FROM THE PRISON HOUSE, REALLY,
\h\hTHAT WINDSOR REPRESENTED.
269
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:27,874
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: THE QUEEN NEEDED
TO KEEP PHILIP OUT OF TROUBLE
270
00:13:27,907 --> 00:13:30,176
{\an7}AND OUT OF THE PAPERS,
271
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:31,744
{\an7}SO, WITH HER ADVISORS,
272
00:13:31,778 --> 00:13:35,982
{\an7}SHE DECIDED TO KICK HER HUSBAND
OUT OF THE CASTLE.
273
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:40,086
{\an7}IN NOVEMBER 1956, PHILIP WAVED
\hGOOD-BYE TO HIS YOUNG FAMILY
274
00:13:40,119 --> 00:13:44,624
{\an7}\h\hAND SET SAIL ON BOARD
THE ROYAL YACHT BRITANNIA.
275
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,259
{\an7}HE HAD BEEN DISPATCHED
\h\h\hACROSS THE GLOBE
276
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:48,161
{\an7}ON A LENGTHY ROYAL MISSION
277
00:13:48,194 --> 00:13:51,798
{\an7}TO OPEN THE OLYMPIC GAMES
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN AUSTRALIA.
278
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:53,466
{\an7}THEN WHEN HE WAS READY
\h\h\h\hTO COME BACK,
279
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:55,368
{\an7}ANOTHER MISSION WAS HATCHED.
280
00:13:55,401 --> 00:13:59,338
{\an7}THE TRIP WAS EXTENDED
\h\h\hAGAIN AND AGAIN.
281
00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:03,743
{\an7}PHILIP WOULDN’T SEE HIS FAMILY
OR THE CASTLE FOR FOUR MONTHS.
282
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:05,945
{\an7}Brendon: IT WAS ALL DOLLED UP
\h\h\h\h\hAS OFFICIAL BUSINESS
283
00:14:05,978 --> 00:14:07,980
{\an7}\h\h\h\hOR EXPLORATION
OR WORLD WILDLIFE FUND
284
00:14:08,014 --> 00:14:09,649
{\an7}OR WHATEVER IT HAPPENED TO BE.
285
00:14:11,417 --> 00:14:13,319
{\an7}Narrator: THE QUEEN HAD DEALT
\h\h\hWITH HER PROBLEM HUSBAND
286
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:16,289
{\an7}IN TRADITIONAL ROYAL FASHION.
287
00:14:16,322 --> 00:14:21,527
{\an7}\h\h\hSHE’D KEPT HIM AWAY FROM
WINDSOR, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.
288
00:14:21,561 --> 00:14:24,130
{\an7}\hBUT THERE WAS ANOTHER
SENIOR ROYAL AT WINDSOR
289
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:26,232
{\an7}WHO NEEDED CAREFUL HANDLING.
290
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:29,602
{\an7}Catherine Mayer:
THE QUEEN MOTHER
291
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:31,537
{\an7}WAS VERY MUCH A MATRIARCH.
292
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:36,409
{\an7}THE WARM AND CUDDLY IMAGE
\hTHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD
293
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:38,744
{\an7}IS NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE AT ALL.
294
00:14:38,778 --> 00:14:40,346
{\an7}SHE WAS QUITE FEARSOME,
295
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:43,116
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND THEY WERE ALSO
ALL SOMEWHAT IN AWE OF HER.

{\an7}Narrator: WHEN THE QUEEN MOTHER
WAS WIDOWED IN 1952,
297
00:14:45,785 --> 00:14:48,321

00:14:48,354 --> 00:14:52,291
{\an7}PROTOCOL DICTATED SHE COULDN’T
\h\h\hSTAY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
299
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:55,061
{\an7}BUT IT STILL TOOK A YEAR
\h\hTO GET HER TO LEAVE.
300
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:58,931
{\an7}\h\hBurrell: SHE WAS ACTUALLY
PRIZED OUT OF WINDSOR CASTLE.
301
00:14:58,965 --> 00:15:00,800
{\an7}SHE DIDN’T WANT TO GO.
302
00:15:00,833 --> 00:15:03,235
{\an7}SHE WANTED TO STAY
\h\hAT THE CASTLE.
303
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:06,606
{\an7}\hNarrator: THIS GRANNY
WASN’T READY TO RETIRE.
304
00:15:06,706 --> 00:15:09,175
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFOR 16 YEARS
WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS KING,
305
00:15:09,208 --> 00:15:12,945
{\an7}\hTHE QUEEN MOTHER HAD BEEN
THE POWER BEHIND THE THRONE,
306
00:15:13,045 --> 00:15:17,049
{\an7}AND SHE HAD NO INTENTION
\h\h\h\h\hOF LETTING GO.
307
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:20,053
{\an7}SO, IF THE QUEEN MOTHER COULDN’T
LIVE IN THE SEAT OF POWER,
308
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:23,623
{\an7}THE NEXT BEST THING
WAS TO LIVE NEARBY.
309
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:27,393
{\an7}LUCKILY, WINDSOR HAS ITS OWN
GRANNY ANNEX IN THE GARDEN--
310
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:29,095
{\an7}ROYAL LODGE.

WITHIN WINDSOR GREAT PARK,
313
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:42,942

OF WINDSOR GREAT PARK,
316
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:49,882
{\an7}\h\h\h\hCLOSE ENOUGH
FOR THE QUEEN MOTHER
317
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:53,086
{\an7}\h\h\hTO KEEP HER HAND
ON THE REINS OF POWER.

{\an7}WHAT SHE SHOULD DO,
322
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:04,664
{\an7}\h\hSO THAT’S AN AMAZING AMOUNT
OF POWER FOR THE DOWAGER QUEEN.

{\an7}JUST BEFORE LUNCH ON A SUNDAY

{\an7}FOR HER LATE HUSBAND.
332
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:28,654
{\an7}\hIT WAS TIME FOR HER
TO BEGIN HER NEW LIFE.
333
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:31,323
{\an7}Lady Colin Campbell: WHEN QUEEN
ELIZABETH, THE QUEEN MOTHER,
334
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:35,795
{\an7}RE-ENTERED PUBLIC LIFE,
335
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:38,064
{\an7}SHE DID WITH A BANG,
336
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:42,936
{\an7}WHERE EVERY OTHER DOWAGER QUEEN
HAD DONE IT WITH A WHIMPER,
337
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:46,172
{\an7}AND SHE CONTINUED BANGING
\h\h\h\h\h\hTILL SHE DIED.

00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:53,546
{\an7}Williams: SO, THE QUEEN MOTHER
\h\h\hBEGINS TO THROW PARTIES.
339
00:16:53,579 --> 00:16:55,548
{\an7}SHE COULDN’T, OF COURSE,
\h\h\hDO THIS AS QUEEN.
340
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:57,483
{\an7}\hAS QUEEN, YOU HAVE TO INVITE
WHO THE GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU,
341
00:16:57,650 --> 00:16:59,752
{\an7}THE COURTIERS TELL YOU,
\hYOU HAVE A GUEST LIST,
342
00:16:59,785 --> 00:17:03,422
{\an7}YOU HAVE TO DO THIS,
YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.
343
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:06,125
{\an7}BUT NOW SHE CAN ALSO
REALLY ENJOY HERSELF
344
00:17:06,158 --> 00:17:07,393
{\an7}AND HAVE THESE PARTIES.
345
00:17:07,426 --> 00:17:08,894
{\an7}SHE CAN INVITE WHOEVER SHE WANTS
346
00:17:08,928 --> 00:17:11,497
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND SAY TO HERSELF,
"WELL, I’M NO LONGER QUEEN,
347
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:12,899
{\an7}BUT THIS HAS THE UPSIDE
348
00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:15,568
{\an7}THAT I CAN HAVE PARTIES
\h\hWITH WHOEVER I LIKE,
349
00:17:15,601 --> 00:17:18,204
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hSPEND MONEY,"
WHICH SHE SPENDS A LOT OF,
350
00:17:18,237 --> 00:17:20,139
{\an7}"SPEND MONEY, ENJOY MYSELF,"
351
00:17:20,172 --> 00:17:23,809
{\an7}AND THE MOST PRIVATE PLACE TO DO
THIS, OF COURSE, IS ROYAL LODGE.

{\an7}Narrator: AN INVITE TO ONE

HALF PAST 7:00, FOR DRINKS.
356
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:42,195
{\an7}\h\hTHEN HER MAJESTY

00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,497
{\an7}USUALLY SHE WOULD HAVE
\h\hGIN AND DUBONNET.

SHE WAS NEVER KNOWN TO BE DRUNK,
361
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:54,406
{\an7}BUT THERE WERE THOSE
WHO WOULD HAVE SAID
362
00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:00,746

00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,756
{\an7}\h\hIT’S SAID THE QUEEN MOTHER
BOUGHT SO MUCH VEUVE CLICQUOT,

00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:15,728
{\an7}\h\hSHE WAS THE COMPANY’S
LARGEST PRIVATE CUSTOMER.
367
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,963
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCullen-Brooks:

SANDWICHES FOR SUPPER.
373
00:18:32,612 --> 00:18:34,080

00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:39,285
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hUM, IT’S AMAZING

{\an7}AS LONG AS THE QUEEN MOTHER

392
00:19:37,777 --> 00:19:40,280
{\an7}WERE NOT SO EASY TO CONCEAL.
393

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF LONDON
398
00:19:58,397 --> 00:20:02,334

{\an7}\h\hIN TOWN, HER LIFE WAS
A WHIRLWIND OF NIGHTCLUBS,

409
00:20:31,664 --> 00:20:34,534

423
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:30,156
{\an7}AND IN 1955, SHE MADE HER CHOICE
AND BROKE OFF THE ENGAGEMENT.
424
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:33,059
{\an7}\h\h\hTHERE WERE RUMORS THAT THE
COUPLE HAD MADE A SECRET PACT--
425
00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:34,894
{\an7}\hIF THEY COULDN’T
MARRY EACH OTHER,
426
00:21:34,927 --> 00:21:38,030
{\an7}THEY WOULDN’T MARRY ANYONE ELSE.
427
00:21:38,063 --> 00:21:41,833
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHEN FOUR YEARS LATER,
THERE WAS NEWS FROM TOWNSEND.
428
00:21:41,967 --> 00:21:43,402
{\an7}HE’D FALLEN IN LOVE AGAIN
429
00:21:43,435 --> 00:21:47,272
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND WAS ENGAGED TO
A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG BELGIAN WOMAN.
430
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,975
{\an7}MARGARET MAY NO LONGER HAVE BEEN
IN LOVE WITH TOWNSEND,
431
00:21:50,009 --> 00:21:52,845
{\an7}BUT SHE WAS STILL HURT
\h\h\hAND HUMILIATED.
432
00:21:52,878 --> 00:21:54,813
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWITHIN HOURS
OF HEARING THE NEWS,
433
00:21:54,847 --> 00:21:58,617
{\an7}SHE MADE A MOMENTOUS DECISION.
434
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,255
{\an7}AND JUST THREE MONTHS LATER
\h\h\h\h\hON MARCH 3, 1960,
435
00:22:02,288 --> 00:22:04,724
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hIN THE GROUNDS
OF WINDSOR’S ROYAL LODGE,
436
00:22:04,757 --> 00:22:08,394
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMARGARET
MADE HER OWN ANNOUNCEMENT.
437
00:22:08,427 --> 00:22:09,495
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAnnouncer:
PRINCESS MARGARET WALKING
438
00:22:09,528 --> 00:22:12,064
{\an7}WITH MR. ANTONY ARMSTRONG-JONES,
439
00:22:12,097 --> 00:22:15,767
{\an7}\hAND THEY’RE OBVIOUSLY AS HAPPY
AS ANY ENGAGED COUPLE COULD BE.
440
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:17,936
{\an7}Warwick: WHO?
441
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:21,240
{\an7}\h\h\h\hYOU KNOW? NOBODY KNEW
WHO TONY ARMSTRONG-JONES WAS.
442
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:24,943
{\an7}EVEN THEIR CLOSEST FRIENDS
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHAD NO IDEA
443
00:22:24,977 --> 00:22:27,580
{\an7}THAT THEY WERE SEEING
\h\h\h\h\hONE ANOTHER.
444
00:22:27,613 --> 00:22:30,116
{\an7}Announcer: HE’S 29, THE SAME AGE
AS PRINCESS MARGARET.
445
00:22:30,149 --> 00:22:32,718
{\an7}HE WAS EDUCATED AT ETON
\h\h\hAND AT CAMBRIDGE,
446
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:36,421
{\an7}\h\hAND HE’S UNCONVENTIONAL,
TALENTED, AND VERY POPULAR.
447
00:22:40,059 --> 00:22:45,498
{\an7}\hNarrator: TONY ARMSTRONG-JONES
WAS A COOL SOCIETY PHOTOGRAPHER.
448
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,300
{\an7}IN THE GRAND SALON
\hAT ROYAL LODGE,
449
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:50,870
{\an7}\h\hDURING A PHOTO SHOOT FOR HER
OFFICIAL 29th BIRTHDAY PORTRAIT,
450
00:22:50,903 --> 00:22:54,907
{\an7}\hPRINCESS MARGARET HAD FALLEN
FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S CHARMS.
451
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:56,275
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAnne de Courcy:
WHEN HE TOOK HER PHOTOGRAPH,
452
00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:58,577
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hWHEN HE TOOK
ANYBODY’S PHOTOGRAPH,
453
00:22:58,611 --> 00:23:00,313
{\an7}HE TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO,
454
00:23:00,346 --> 00:23:04,150
{\an7}AND I THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLY
QUITE NOVEL FOR THE PRINCESS.
455
00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:06,986
{\an7}Narrator: THERE WAS A POWERFUL
\h\h\h\hSPARK BETWEEN THE TWO.
456
00:23:07,019 --> 00:23:10,022
{\an7}THEY WERE BOTH GLAMOROUS,
\h\h\hPARTY-LOVING PEOPLE.
457
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:13,959
{\an7}THIS LOOKED TO BE A GENUINE
\h\hAND PASSIONATE ROMANCE.
458
00:23:13,993 --> 00:23:17,296
{\an7}THE PRINCESS, IT SEEMED,
\h\h\h\h\hWAS MOVING ON.
459
00:23:17,329 --> 00:23:21,900
{\an7}[APPLAUSE]
460
00:23:21,934 --> 00:23:23,669
{\an7}ON THE 6th OF MAY 1960,
461
00:23:23,702 --> 00:23:29,174
{\an7}SHE MARRIED TONY ARMSTRONG-JONES
IN A LAVISH STATE WEDDING.
462
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:32,044
{\an7}THE PUBLIC LAPPED IT UP.
463
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:35,614
{\an7}150,000 PEOPLE LINED THE ROUTE.
464
00:23:35,648 --> 00:23:39,852
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h300 MILLION PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD WATCHED ON TV.
465
00:23:39,885 --> 00:23:41,754
{\an7}\h\h\h\hDe Courcy: THE WEDDING
OF PRINCESS MARGARET AND TONY
466
00:23:41,787 --> 00:23:43,422
{\an7}WAS THE FIRST TELEVISED WEDDING,
467
00:23:43,455 --> 00:23:46,091
{\an7}AND IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.
468
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:51,297
{\an7}THERE WAS A SORT OF COLLECTIVE
\h\h\h\h"AHH" FROM THE NATION.
469
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,199
{\an7}\hNarrator: ANY GRUMBLING
ABOUT MARGARET’S LIFESTYLE
470
00:23:53,232 --> 00:23:55,234
{\an7}WAS SILENCED, FOR NOW.
471
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:59,438
{\an7}♪
472
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:02,074
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBACK AT WINDSOR,
THINGS WERE ALSO LOOKING UP.
473
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:08,080
{\an7}SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE ON ONE OF HIS
OVERSEAS TRIPS IN THE FIFTIES,
474
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:14,386
{\an7}\h\h\hPHILIP HAD COME TO TERMS
WITH THE HAND HE’D BEEN DEALT.
475
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:18,391
{\an7}\h\hAND AS IF TO PROVE IT, WITH
THE ARRIVAL OF TWO NEW PRINCES,
476
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:22,194
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hANDREW IN 1960
AND EDWARD FOUR YEARS LATER,
477
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:24,196
{\an7}\hTHE QUEEN FINALLY
HAD THE LARGE FAMILY
478
00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:29,134
{\an7}THAT SHE’D HOPED WOULD ONE DAY
\h\h\h\h\hFILL WINDSOR CASTLE.
479
00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:32,037
{\an7}COCOONED INSIDE THE CASTLE
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN THE 1950s,
480
00:24:32,071 --> 00:24:34,607
{\an7}THE ROYAL FAMILY WERE FREE
\h\hTO DO AS THEY PLEASED.
481
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,945
{\an7}BUT AS THE FIFTIES MADE WAY
\h\h\h\h\h\hFOR THE SIXTIES,
482
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:41,881
{\an7}THIS SPLENDID ISOLATION MEANT
\h\hTHAT THEY WERE OUT OF STEP
483
00:24:41,947 --> 00:24:48,620
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWITH THE WORLD OUTSIDE,
A WORLD THAT WAS CHANGING FAST.
484
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:52,224
{\an7}♪
485
00:24:52,257 --> 00:24:55,327
{\an7}Kay: I MEAN, WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE SWINGING SIXTIES.
486
00:24:55,361 --> 00:24:57,363
{\an7}\h\h\hTHE HIPPIE ERA
WAS STILL GOING ON.
487
00:24:57,396 --> 00:24:58,731
{\an7}EVERYONE HAD LONG HAIR.
488
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:04,469
{\an7}BUT THEY WERE THIS EXTRAORDINARY
NUCLEAR ROYAL FAMILY
489
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:07,006
{\an7}WITH THEIR SHORT BACK AND SIDES,
THEIR TAILORED CLOTHES.
490
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:10,042
{\an7}THEY WERE AN UTTER THROWBACK.
491
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:13,545
{\an7}Narrator: INSIDE WINDSOR CASTLE,
SERVANTS SCRAPED AND BOWED,
492
00:25:13,579 --> 00:25:18,551
{\an7}\hWHILE OUTSIDE, PROTESTORS
CAMPAIGNED FOR EQUAL RIGHTS.
493
00:25:18,584 --> 00:25:20,119
{\an7}INSIDE THERE WAS CHINTZ,
494
00:25:20,152 --> 00:25:24,456
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDUBONNET,
AND POLITE CONVERSATION.
495
00:25:24,490 --> 00:25:29,795
{\an7}OUTSIDE FOR SOME, THERE WAS FREE
LOVE, DRUGS, AND ROCK AND ROLL.
496
00:25:29,828 --> 00:25:31,296
{\an7}TO A NEW GENERATION,
497
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:34,666
{\an7}\h\hTHE ROYAL FAMILY SEEMED
EMBARRASSING AND EXPENSIVE.
498
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:36,969
{\an7}\h\h\hCampbell: OBVIOUSLY, THE
CHANGES THAT WERE TAKING PLACE
499
00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:39,104
{\an7}IN SOCIETY GENERALLY
500
00:25:39,138 --> 00:25:44,176
{\an7}IMPACTED UPON THE WINDSORS,
\h\hAND THERE WAS THE DOUBT
501
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:47,646
{\an7}THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE
\h\hTO REMAIN RELEVANT.
502
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:52,150
{\an7}Brendon: THE MONARCHY WAS UNDER
THREAT IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS.
503
00:25:52,251 --> 00:25:53,652
{\an7}\hNarrator: AS THE GULF
BETWEEN THE ROYAL FAMILY
504
00:25:53,685 --> 00:25:55,587
{\an7}AND THE PUBLIC GREW,
505
00:25:55,621 --> 00:26:00,092
{\an7}THE COST OF THE MONARCHY BECAME
AN ISSUE, RAISED IN PARLIAMENT.
506
00:26:00,192 --> 00:26:02,861
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHEIR ANNUAL GRANT
HADN’T INCREASED FOR YEARS,
507
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:05,798
{\an7}\h\h\hBUT RATHER THAN RISK
AN INCREASE BEING REFUSED,
508
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:09,034
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHE QUEEN DIPPED
INTO HER PERSONAL FORTUNE.
509
00:26:09,201 --> 00:26:13,772
{\an7}BUT THAT JUST LED TO SPECULATION
ABOUT HOW RICH SHE WAS.
510
00:26:13,806 --> 00:26:15,408
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDe Courcy: I THINK
THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CRITICISM
511
00:26:15,441 --> 00:26:17,209
{\an7}OF THE MONARCHY IN THE FIFTIES.
512
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:21,113
{\an7}I THINK IN THE SIXTIES, THERE
WAS A FEELING OF IRREVERENCE,
513
00:26:21,146 --> 00:26:24,850
{\an7}\hNO HOLDS BARRED, AND PEOPLE
COULD START CRITICIZING THEM.
514
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:28,587
{\an7}THERE WAS THIS VERY CONVENIENT
\h\h\hPUNCH BAG, IF YOU LIKE,
515
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:34,025
{\an7}\h\h\hTHAT COULDN’T ANSWER BACK,
AND PEOPLE BEGAN TO ATTACK THEM.
516
00:26:34,059 --> 00:26:37,563
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: FOR THE QUEEN,
THESE WERE DIFFICULT TIMES.
517
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:40,599
{\an7}\hNO KING OR QUEEN
IS INDISPENSABLE.
518
00:26:40,699 --> 00:26:42,167
{\an7}AND IF THERE WAS ANY DOUBT,
519
00:26:42,201 --> 00:26:46,439
{\an7}WINDSOR CASTLE CONTAINS
\hA PERMANENT REMINDER.
520
00:26:46,472 --> 00:26:48,741
{\an7}THE STATE APARTMENTS
\hIN THE UPPER WARD,
521
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:51,310
{\an7}TODAY THEY HOST STATE FUNCTIONS.
522
00:26:54,813 --> 00:27:00,018
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h400 YEARS AGO,
THEY WERE A PRISON FOR A KING.
523
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:02,354
{\an7}DURING THE BRITISH CIVIL WAR
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIN THE 1640s,
524
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:04,156
{\an7}CHARLES I CLASHED
525
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:07,993
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWITH OLIVER CROMWELL’S
PARLIAMENTARY FORCES AND LOST.
526
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:12,697
{\an7}IN 1648, HE WAS IMPRISONED
\h\h\h\hIN WINDSOR CASTLE.
527
00:27:12,731 --> 00:27:14,233
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAnna Whitelock:
THIS WAS TURNING, YOU KNOW,
528
00:27:14,266 --> 00:27:15,901
{\an7}THE NATURAL ORDER ON ITS HEAD,
529
00:27:15,934 --> 00:27:21,506
{\an7}\h\hTHAT THE PALACE OF THE KING
WAS NOW THE PRISON OF THE KING.
530
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:25,110
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: CHARLES I
WAS TRIED AND BEHEADED.
531
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:29,715
{\an7}HIS BODY, AND HEAD, WERE BURIED
IN ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL, WINDSOR.
532
00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:31,583
{\an7}\h\hWhitelock: CHARLES I,
OF COURSE, IN SOME SENSE,
533
00:27:31,617 --> 00:27:33,552
{\an7}IS THE ULTIMATE TEST IN CASE
534
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:35,587
{\an7}\h\hOF WHAT HAPPENS
IF YOU GET IT WRONG.
535
00:27:35,621 --> 00:27:38,557
{\an7}\h\hNOW, I DON’T THINK ANYONE’S
SUGGESTING THAT ANY MONARCH NOW
536
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:40,559
{\an7}\h\h\hWOULD FIND THEMSELVES
WITH THEIR HEAD CHOPPED OFF,
537
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:44,463
{\an7}\h\hHOWEVER IT DOES SHOW HOW YOU
HAVE TO RIDE A VERY FINE BALANCE
538
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:47,666
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBETWEEN LEADING
AND OBVIOUSLY BEING THE MONARCH
539
00:27:47,766 --> 00:27:50,669
{\an7}AND COMMANDING RESPECT
\hBUT ALSO PAYING HEED
540
00:27:50,769 --> 00:27:54,573
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTO PARLIAMENT
AND TO THE PEOPLE’S WILL.

542
00:28:00,879 --> 00:28:01,880

543
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,116
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE QUEEN WASN’T
ABOUT TO LOSE HER HEAD,
544
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:07,085

\hFEARED SHE MIGHT LOSE
545
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,955
{\an7}\hTHE PUBLIC’S SUPPORT
AND TAXPAYERS’ FUNDING
546

WASN’T NIPPED IN THE BUD,
547
00:28:14,993 --> 00:28:18,029
{\an7}SO THEY CAME UP WITH A PLAN.
548
00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:21,567
{\an7}THEY WOULD SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT
THE QUEEN WASN’T OUT OF TOUCH.
549
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,238
{\an7}IN FACT, SHE WAS JUST LIKE THEM.
550
00:28:26,271 --> 00:28:28,774
{\an7}Brendon: I THINK THE PEOPLE
\hROUND THE MONARCH, REALLY,
551
00:28:28,807 --> 00:28:32,244
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hUM, FELT THAT THE,
THE QUEEN MUST BE PRESENTED
552
00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:35,413

554
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:42,121

WOULD SHOW THE WORLD

ABOUT THEIR, THEIR FUNCTIONS,
558
00:28:51,196 --> 00:28:53,699
{\an7}IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT SHOULD BE

{\an7}AND A SIDE OF FAMILY LIFE SHOULD
BE SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME.

00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:04,677
{\an7}\h\h\hAS THEY WENT ABOUT
THEIR EVERYDAY BUSINESS
563
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:08,614
{\an7}\h\hAT WINDSOR CASTLE
AND THEIR OTHER HOMES.
564
00:29:08,647 --> 00:29:12,284
{\an7}IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY INSIGHT
INTO THEIR PRIVATE WORLD.
565
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:17,423
{\an7}\hSO, WHEN THE QUEEN WATCHED
THE FILM FOR THE FIRST TIME,
566
00:29:17,456 --> 00:29:23,562
{\an7}\hIT WAS A TENSE MOMENT FOR THE
FILM’S EDITOR, MICHAEL BRADSELL.
567
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,397
{\an7}Michael Bradsell: WE WERE ALL
\h\h\h\h\hA LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
568
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,299
{\an7}OF SHOWING IT TO THE QUEEN
569
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:31,036
{\an7}\h\hBECAUSE WE HAD NO IDEA
WHAT SHE WOULD MAKE OF IT.
570
00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:36,608
{\an7}SHE WAS A LITTLE CRITICAL
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOF THE FILM
571
00:29:36,642 --> 00:29:39,778
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hIN THE SENSE THAT
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS TOO LONG,
572
00:29:39,811 --> 00:29:42,247
{\an7}BUT DICK CAWSTON, THE DIRECTOR,
573
00:29:42,281 --> 00:29:48,087
{\an7}PERSUADED HER THAT TWO HOURS WAS
NOT A MINUTE TOO LONG.
574
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,822
{\an7}\h\hNarrator: A FEW CLIPS
WERE RELEASED FOR PREVIEW
575
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:54,626
{\an7}\h\h\hBEFORE THE BROADCAST,
BUT ONLY IN BLACK AND WHITE.
576
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,395
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPrince:
MUMMY, MAY I HAVE MY PUPPY?
577
00:29:56,428 --> 00:30:00,065
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hQueen Elizabeth:
WELL, WE’LL SEE IF SHE’S...
578
00:30:00,098 --> 00:30:02,968
{\an7}ALLOWED OUT IN THE SNOW.
579
00:30:03,001 --> 00:30:05,403
{\an7}HERE WE ARE.
580
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:06,672
{\an7}Princess Anne: JUMP!
581
00:30:08,874 --> 00:30:11,577
{\an7}COME ON! COME ON!
582
00:30:11,610 --> 00:30:14,413
{\an7}COME ON.
583
00:30:14,446 --> 00:30:17,049
{\an7}Prince: THIS IS MY,
\h\hTHIS IS MY ONE.
584
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,650
{\an7}Queen Elizabeth: LOOK HOW BIG
\h\hHE IS, AND THOSE BIG PAWS.
585
00:30:18,684 --> 00:30:20,452
{\an7}Princess Anne: HE’S A LOVELY
\h\h\h\hBIG TUBBY LAB, THIS.
586
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:24,889
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
THEN, ON THE 21st OF JUNE 1969,
587
00:30:24,923 --> 00:30:29,361
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE BBC BROADCAST
THE HISTORIC DOCUMENTARY.
588
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:32,497
{\an7}\h\h\h37 MILLION VIEWERS
WERE GLUED TO THEIR TVs
589
00:30:32,531 --> 00:30:35,000
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAS THEY WATCHED
THE ROYAL FAMILY EAT MEALS,
590
00:30:35,033 --> 00:30:40,438
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hSHARE FAMILY MEMORIES,
AND WATCH THEIR OWN TELEVISION.
591
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:46,979
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIT WAS A RATINGS SMASH,
AND A PUBLIC RELATIONS TRIUMPH.
592
00:30:47,012 --> 00:30:50,482
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPUBLIC SUPPORT
SWUNG BACK BEHIND THE ROYALS.
593
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:53,118
{\an7}Kay: IT WAS AN UTTER DELIGHT,
\h\h\h\h\hAND WE ALL LOVED IT.
594
00:30:53,151 --> 00:30:54,953
{\an7}THE WORLD LOVED IT.
595
00:30:56,621 --> 00:31:00,258
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
AND THE ROYAL FAMILY HATED IT.
596
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:02,628
{\an7}\hAN ORDER WAS ISSUED
FROM WINDSOR CASTLE--
597
00:31:02,661 --> 00:31:07,833
{\an7}THE FILM MUST NEVER
\h\hBE SHOWN AGAIN.
598
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:10,335
{\an7}Brendon: THE QUEEN SPECIFIED
\hTHAT IT WAS HER COPYRIGHT,
599
00:31:10,469 --> 00:31:14,073
{\an7}\hAND AS A RESULT, SHE HAD
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER IT,
600
00:31:14,106 --> 00:31:17,409
{\an7}AND TELEVISION COMPANIES
HAVE TRIED DOWN THE AGES
601
00:31:17,442 --> 00:31:20,779
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTO BE ALLOWED
TO SHOW SNIPPETS OF IT,
602
00:31:20,812 --> 00:31:23,748
{\an7}AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS SAID NO.
603
00:31:23,782 --> 00:31:26,351
{\an7}Narrator: 90 SECONDS OF THE FILM
WERE RELEASED IN 2011
604
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:31,290
{\an7}FOR AN EXHIBITION TO COMMEMORATE
THE QUEEN’S DIAMOND JUBILEE.
605
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:33,491
{\an7}THIS FOOTAGE FOUND ITS WAY
\h\h\h\h\h\hONTO YOUTUBE,
606
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:38,897
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWHERE BY 2017,
IT HAD OVER 400,000 VIEWS.
607
00:31:38,997 --> 00:31:42,501
{\an7}THE REST, TOGETHER WITH HUNDREDS
OF HOURS OF UNSEEN FOOTAGE,
608
00:31:42,534 --> 00:31:46,004
{\an7}HAS BEEN LOCKED AWAY SINCE 1969.
609
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:48,773
{\an7}IT HASN’T BEEN SEEN
\hFOR OVER 40 YEARS
610
00:31:48,807 --> 00:31:51,043
{\an7}AND MAY NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.
611
00:31:51,143 --> 00:31:52,411
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBradsell:
I REALLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND
612
00:31:52,511 --> 00:31:55,080
{\an7}WHY THE FILM HAS BEEN SHELVED.
613
00:31:55,113 --> 00:31:56,982
{\an7}IN A WAY, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE,
614
00:31:57,082 --> 00:31:59,785
{\an7}\h\h\hUH, GREATER VALUE
THAN IT DID AT THE TIME
615
00:31:59,818 --> 00:32:01,720
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBECAUSE OF,
WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME
616
00:32:01,753 --> 00:32:05,757
{\an7}AND THE PEOPLE’S ATTITUDES
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCHANGE.
617
00:32:05,791 --> 00:32:08,160
{\an7}I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND IT.
618
00:32:08,193 --> 00:32:12,698
{\an7}Brendon: THE QUEEN’S SPECIALIZE
IS IN BEING ALOOF.
619
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:17,803
{\an7}SHE HAS GOT TO BE THIS SORT
\h\h\h\h\hOF MAGICAL PERSON,
620
00:32:17,836 --> 00:32:23,842
{\an7}BUT SHE’S ALSO GOT TO BE ABLE
\hTO IDENTIFY WITH THE PEOPLE
621
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:27,612
{\an7}OR HAVE THEM IDENTIFY WITH HER,
AND THE "ROYAL FAMILY" FILM
622
00:32:27,646 --> 00:32:32,351
{\an7}\hHAD LET TOO MUCH DAYLIGHT
INTO THE MAGIC OF MONARCHY.
623
00:32:32,384 --> 00:32:36,488
{\an7}SHE’D BECOME TOO HUMAN.
624
00:32:36,521 --> 00:32:38,523
{\an7}\h\h\hNarrator: THE QUEEN
AND HER ADVISORS REALIZED
625
00:32:38,557 --> 00:32:39,958
{\an7}THAT BEING TOO NORMAL
626
00:32:39,991 --> 00:32:43,595
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWAS AS DANGEROUS
AS BEING TOO DIFFERENT.
627
00:32:43,628 --> 00:32:46,030
{\an7}Brendon: AND THEREFORE,
I THINK WHAT YOU’VE GOT
628
00:32:46,064 --> 00:32:52,370
{\an7}IS A RETREAT BEHIND THE MASSIVE
WALLS OF WINDSOR CASTLE.
629
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,575
{\an7}Narrator: AS THE QUEEN
\h\hAT WINDSOR CASTLE,
630
00:32:57,709 --> 00:33:00,912
{\an7}\hELIZABETH II HAD SPENT MUCH OF
THE FIRST 20 YEARS OF HER REIGN
631
00:33:00,946 --> 00:33:06,952
{\an7}TRYING TO MANAGE HER DEMANDING
\h\hFAMILY IN DIFFICULT TIMES.
632
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,588
{\an7}THEN, AT THE DAWN
OF THE SEVENTIES,
633
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:14,860
{\an7}A GHOST FROM THE FAMILY PAST
\h\h\h\hRETURNED TO WINDSOR,
634
00:33:14,893 --> 00:33:16,495
{\an7}A GHOST WHO WOULD
\hFORCE THE QUEEN
635
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:20,699
{\an7}TO CONFRONT PAINFUL MEMORIES
\h\h\h\h\hAND DARK SECRETS.
636
00:33:23,935 --> 00:33:28,706
{\an7}IN 1972, AGAINST THE SPECTACULAR
BACKDROP OF ST. GEORGE’S CHAPEL,
637
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:32,877
{\an7}THE QUEEN’S ESTRANGED UNCLE
RETURNED TO WINDSOR CASTLE.
638
00:33:32,978 --> 00:33:36,215
{\an7}HE WOULD CAUSE NO MORE TROUBLE.
639
00:33:36,248 --> 00:33:39,718
{\an7}\h\hAS KING EDWARD VIII, HE HAD
SHAMED THE GOOD NAME OF WINDSOR
640
00:33:39,818 --> 00:33:42,287
{\an7}AND BROUGHT THE MONARCHY
\h\h\h\h\hTO ITS KNEES.
641
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:48,927
{\an7}\hTHREE MONTHS EARLIER,
300 MILES FROM WINDSOR,
642
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,862
{\an7}IN A PARISIAN TOWNHOUSE,
643
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:54,499
{\an7}THE FORMER KING OF ENGLAND
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLAY DYING.
644
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:57,870
{\an7}\hIN 1936, EDWARD VIII
HAD GIVEN UP HIS CROWN
645
00:33:57,903 --> 00:34:00,806
{\an7}TO MARRY THE WOMAN HE LOVED,
646
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:05,911
{\an7}AND MANY OF HIS FAMILY HATED,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWALLIS SIMPSON.
647
00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:08,313
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWarwick: YOU SEE,
THE THING ABOUT WALLIS SIMPSON
648
00:34:08,346 --> 00:34:10,181
{\an7}WAS THAT SHE WAS AMERICAN.
649
00:34:10,215 --> 00:34:12,417
{\an7}SHE WAS DIVORCED.
650
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:17,489
{\an7}THE TWO ALMOST WENT HAND IN HAND
AS SCANDAL.
651
00:34:17,522 --> 00:34:19,891
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
BUT EDWARD WAS BESOTTED,
652
00:34:19,925 --> 00:34:21,627
{\an7}AND IN DECEMBER 1936,
653
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:27,432
{\an7}HE ABDICATED HIS THRONE IN ORDER
TO MARRY WALLIS SIMPSON.
654
00:34:27,465 --> 00:34:32,437
{\an7}HE’D BEEN KING FOR JUST 327 DAYS
WHEN HE LEFT WINDSOR CASTLE.
655
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:35,940
{\an7}[CLANG]
656
00:34:38,443 --> 00:34:41,146
{\an7}THE QUEEN’S FATHER RELUCTANTLY
\h\h\h\hSTEPPED INTO HIS SHOES
657
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:45,050
{\an7}TO BECOME KING GEORGE VI.
658
00:34:45,116 --> 00:34:48,519
{\an7}EDWARD AND WALLIS SIMPSON BECAME
THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR
659
00:34:48,553 --> 00:34:51,056
{\an7}\h\hAND LEFT BRITAIN
FOR A LIFE IN EXILE.
660
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:52,023
{\an7}Brendon: IT WAS SIGNIFICANT,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOF COURSE,
661
00:34:52,057 --> 00:34:54,192
{\an7}THAT HE TOOK THE TITLE WINDSOR.
662
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:55,993
{\an7}IT INVESTED HIM WITH DIGNITY,
663
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:59,764
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWHICH PERHAPS
HE DIDN’T ACTUALLY DESERVE.
664
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:03,235
{\an7}\hNarrator: IN EXILE IN FRANCE,
THE DUKE AND DUCHESS PILED SHAME
665
00:35:03,268 --> 00:35:05,837
{\an7}ON THE GOOD NAME OF WINDSOR.
666
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:10,241
{\an7}THERE WERE LAVISH PARTIES AND
HOLIDAYS, EXTRAVAGANT JEWELRY,
667
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:12,577
{\an7}AND LIKE SOME OTHER ARISTOCRATS
OF THE TIME,
668
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:17,149
{\an7}\hDISTURBING SIGNS
OF NAZI SYMPATHY.
669
00:35:17,182 --> 00:35:21,186
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE ROYAL FAMILY
RESPONDED WITH SILENCE.
670
00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:24,589
{\an7}\hBrendon: THE DUKE OF WINDSOR
WAS OSTRACIZED UNTIL THE END.
671
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:27,426
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hHE BECAME,
IN THE DUCHESS’ WORDS,
672
00:35:27,459 --> 00:35:29,594
{\an7}"THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE
\h\h\h\h\hFORGOTTEN MAN"
673
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:31,363
{\an7}BECAUSE ALL THE NEWSPAPERS,
674
00:35:31,396 --> 00:35:33,531
{\an7}THE NEWSREELS, THE RADIO,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEVERYTHING,
675
00:35:33,565 --> 00:35:36,101
{\an7}\h\h\h\hJUST CLAMPED DOWN
AND WERE SILENT ABOUT HIM.
676
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:37,869
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHEY DIDN’T,
THEY DIDN’T CRITICIZE HIM.
677
00:35:37,902 --> 00:35:43,441
{\an7}\h\h\hTHEY JUST WIPED HIM
OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
678
00:35:43,475 --> 00:35:45,677
{\an7}Narrator: BUT WHETHER THE ROYAL
FAMILY LIKED IT OR NOT,
679
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:50,248
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hROYAL BLOOD
RAN THROUGH THE DUKE’S VEINS.
680
00:35:50,281 --> 00:35:51,983
{\an7}HE WOULD ALWAYS BE ONE OF THEM,
681
00:35:52,017 --> 00:35:54,019
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND THAT MEANT
THAT WHEN THE TIME CAME,
682
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:57,889
{\an7}\h\h\h\hHE HAD THE RIGHT
TO BE BURIED AT WINDSOR.
683
00:35:57,922 --> 00:35:59,457
{\an7}Andrew Morton: THERE HAD BEEN
\h\h\hALL KINDS OF DISCUSSIONS
684
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:02,160
{\an7}ABOUT WHERE THE DUKE OF WINDSOR
SHOULD BE BURIED.
685
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:04,329
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hHE MADE IT CLEAR
THAT HE WANTED TO BE BURIED
686
00:36:04,362 --> 00:36:08,066
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hINSIDE THE GROUNDS
OF WINDSOR CASTLE AT FROGMORE,
687
00:36:08,099 --> 00:36:10,034
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWHICH IS
THE PRIVATE BURIAL GROUND
688
00:36:10,068 --> 00:36:13,004
{\an7}FOR MEMBERS OF THE ROYAL FAMILY.
689
00:36:13,038 --> 00:36:15,607

\h\h\h\hOF HIS ROYAL HERITAGE,
690
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,676
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFOR THE QUEEN,
AND MORE SO FOR HER MOTHER,
691
00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:20,879
{\an7}THE REAL PROBLEM
WASN’T THE DUKE,
692
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:25,116
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIT WAS HIS WIFE,
THE DUCHESS OF WINDSOR,
693
00:36:25,150 --> 00:36:27,352
{\an7}A WOMAN THE QUEEN MOTHER
\h\h\h\h\hONCE DESCRIBED
694
00:36:27,385 --> 00:36:30,221
{\an7}AS THE LOWEST OF THE LOW.
695
00:36:30,255 --> 00:36:33,458
{\an7}Brendon: THE QUEEN MOTHER
\h\h\h\hBLAMED THE DUCHESS
696
00:36:33,491 --> 00:36:35,259
{\an7}FOR HER HUSBAND’S EARLY DEATH.
697
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,995
{\an7}SHE THOUGHT THAT THE KINGSHIP
698
00:36:37,095 --> 00:36:39,130
{\an7}\hHAD BEEN THRUST
UPON POOR BERTIE,
699
00:36:39,164 --> 00:36:40,732
{\an7}WHO WASN’T FIT FOR IT,
700
00:36:40,765 --> 00:36:45,570

702
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,609
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTHERE WAS NO DOUBT
HE WOULD BE BURIED AT WINDSOR,
703
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:53,011
{\an7}BUT IT FELL TO THE QUEEN

WAS THE DUCHESS OF WINDSOR.
708
00:37:12,931 --> 00:37:15,834
{\an7}\h\h\hTHE ROYAL FAMILY HAD PUT
THEIR PERSONAL FEELINGS ASIDE
709
00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:21,439
{\an7}\hTO INVITE THE WOMAN THEY’D
IGNORED FOR HALF A CENTURY.
710
00:37:21,473 --> 00:37:24,910
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMorton: IN A WAY,
THE IRONY IS THAT FOR 50 YEARS,
711
00:37:24,943 --> 00:37:26,812
{\an7}\h\hTHE ROYAL FAMILY
HAD BEEN IMPLACABLE
712
00:37:26,845 --> 00:37:29,214
{\an7}AGAINST NEVER MEETING
\h\h\hWALLIS SIMPSON,
713
00:37:29,314 --> 00:37:33,418
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND THEN IN DEATH,
THEY SLYLY OPEN THEIR ARMS.
714
00:37:33,451 --> 00:37:36,454
{\an7}Brendon: WHEN IT CAME TO,
\h\h\h\hTO HIS, HIS DEATH,
715
00:37:36,488 --> 00:37:40,525
{\an7}THERE WAS A SLIGHT DEFROSTING
\h\hOF THE, OF THE ROYAL FEUD,
716
00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:45,730
{\an7}WHICH HAD BEEN GOING ON, REALLY,
EVER SINCE 1935.
717
00:37:45,764 --> 00:37:48,867
{\an7}Narrator: BUT THE RECONCILIATION
WAS ONLY PARTIAL.
718
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,602
{\an7}ON THE NIGHT BEFORE THE FUNERAL,
719
00:37:50,702 --> 00:37:53,572
{\an7}\h\hTHE DUCHESS FOUND HERSELF
LODGING AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE,

00:37:53,671 --> 00:37:58,643
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h20 MILES AWAY
FROM THE QUEEN’S REAL HOME.
721
00:37:58,676 --> 00:38:00,011
{\an7}Morton: THE FACT THAT SHE STAYS
AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE
722
00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:01,746
{\an7}IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT
723
00:38:01,813 --> 00:38:04,416
{\an7}BECAUSE WINDSOR CASTLE IS ALWAYS
TREATED AS THE FAMILY HOME,
724
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:07,419
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hEVEN THOUGH
IT’S A GREAT FORTRESS.
725
00:38:07,452 --> 00:38:09,521
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUCKINGHAM PALACE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THE OFFICE BLOCK,
726
00:38:09,554 --> 00:38:12,991
{\an7}\hTHE PLACE WHERE YOU PUT
VISITING HEADS OF STATES,
727
00:38:13,024 --> 00:38:19,597
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAND SHE WAS TREATED
WITH THAT KIND OF DISTANCE.
728
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:22,234
{\an7}Narrator: AFTER THE SERVICE,
CAMERAS CAPTURED THE MOMENT
729
00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:25,771
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE QUEEN MOTHER SPOKE
TO THE FRAIL-LOOKING DUCHESS.
730
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:28,907
{\an7}Brendon: SO, THAT WHEN THEY CAME
TOGETHER IN THAT FAMOUS SCENE,
731
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:36,014
{\an7}THERE WAS A, THERE WAS A BRIEF
\hFORMAL, UH, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
732
00:38:36,047 --> 00:38:40,318
{\an7}BUT IT DIDN’T REALLY AMOUNT
\h\h\h\h\hTO, TO VERY MUCH.
733
00:38:40,351 --> 00:38:43,654
{\an7}Morton: THEY JUST LOOKED AT HER,
YOU KNOW, LIKE A BAD SMELL
734
00:38:43,688 --> 00:38:48,159
{\an7}AND SAID, OKAY, WE’LL GO THROUGH
THIS AND THEN GOOD-BYE.

WHILE A GHOST FROM THE PAST

{\an7}THE NEXT GENERATION OF ROYALS
\hSTEPPED INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.

\h\hRICH, AND ELIGIBLE.
742
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:21,927
{\an7}Kay: IN CHARLES, AND INDEED
\h\hHIS YOUNGER SISTER ANNE,
743
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,397
{\an7}\hWE HAD TWO BRIGHT YOUNG PEOPLE
WHO SUDDENLY BECAME INTERESTING

00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:29,868
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTO THE WORLD
AND CERTAINLY TO THE PRESS.
745
00:39:29,901 --> 00:39:31,603

{\an7}\h\h\hIT WOULD CHANGE
NOT JUST THEIR LIVES,
752
00:39:46,985 --> 00:39:49,087
{\an7}BUT THE COURSE OF HISTORY.

WAS A GOOD-LOOKING SOLDIER

757
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:07,371
{\an7}BUT IT WAS COMPLICATED
758

{\an7}BECAUSE ANDREW PARKER BOWLES

776
00:40:56,387 --> 00:40:59,957

\h\h\h\hTO BE THE RIGHT TYPE,
777
00:40:59,991 --> 00:41:02,160
{\an7}IN THIS LUDICROUSLY NARROW VIEW

787
00:41:27,352 --> 00:41:31,923

LIKED ANDREW PARKER BOWLES
788
