00:00:13,581 --> 00:00:15,981
[birds chirp outside]

00:01:18,221 --> 00:01:20,621
[dogs pant]
3
00:01:37,701 --> 00:01:38,781
[man] Your Majesty.
4
00:01:46,141 --> 00:01:48,141
[dogs whine]
5
00:01:52,781 --> 00:01:56,621
[Adeane] Everyone at the Post Office
is delighted with the new profile, ma'am,
6
00:01:57,141 --> 00:01:59,381
which they feel
to be an elegant reflection
7
00:01:59,461 --> 00:02:02,901
of Her Majesty's transition
from young woman to...
8
00:02:03,861 --> 00:02:04,901
Old bat?
9
00:02:07,381 --> 00:02:10,101
...mother of four and settled sovereign.
10
00:02:10,181 --> 00:02:11,021
Hmm.
11
00:02:11,701 --> 00:02:15,061
The Postmaster General himself
commented that the two images,
12
00:02:15,621 --> 00:02:19,941
the young and the slightly older Queen,
13
00:02:20,301 --> 00:02:21,941
are almost identical.
14
00:02:22,181 --> 00:02:24,501
[Elizabeth]
Postmaster Bevins is very kind.
15
00:02:25,341 --> 00:02:27,461
He's also a barefaced liar.
16
00:02:27,541 --> 00:02:31,261
[Adeane]
Just the tiniest changes, in the hair--
17
00:02:31,341 --> 00:02:32,541
A great many changes.
18
00:02:33,061 --> 00:02:34,181
But there we are.
19
00:02:34,701 --> 00:02:37,061
Age is rarely kind to anyone.
20
00:02:37,461 --> 00:02:38,861
Nothing one can do about it.
21
00:02:39,901 --> 00:02:41,501
One just has to get on with it.
22
00:04:09,661 --> 00:04:12,541
[man on TV] But, somehow, Harold Wilson
had to inspire the electorate
23
00:04:12,621 --> 00:04:16,101
to thrust a wedge into the Tories,
to win the floating vote for Labour,
24
00:04:16,181 --> 00:04:18,821
and stop the Liberals
stealing too much of the cake.
25
00:04:19,381 --> 00:04:22,261
Sir Alec's position could likewise
be affected by the Liberals.
26
00:04:22,341 --> 00:04:23,781
They've had quite a revival.
27
00:04:24,381 --> 00:04:27,381
In the 1950 election,
the Labour majority crumbled.
28
00:04:27,861 --> 00:04:30,221
Some of its great figures
were already ill.
29
00:04:30,301 --> 00:04:33,101
The pressures of Korea
and rearmament were growing.
30
00:04:33,421 --> 00:04:35,341
-It's never easy to fight an election.
-[clanking]
31
00:04:35,421 --> 00:04:36,941
-Louder, please.
-[man] Sir.
32
00:04:37,021 --> 00:04:40,181
Your opponent's promises
often seem so much more enticing.
33
00:04:40,661 --> 00:04:42,261
[volume increases]
34
00:04:42,341 --> 00:04:43,901
-...so many unknowns.
-[loud rustling]
35
00:04:43,981 --> 00:04:46,221
Even the weather
can wash your hopes down the gutter.
36
00:04:46,301 --> 00:04:48,661
At once Harold Wilson's life changed.
37
00:04:48,741 --> 00:04:49,621
Oh, no!
38
00:04:50,421 --> 00:04:51,341
What?
39
00:04:51,421 --> 00:04:53,021
Winston's had another stroke.
40
00:04:53,261 --> 00:04:56,141
-Oh, poor old thing.
-I'll go and see him today.
41
00:04:56,221 --> 00:04:58,381
[cheering on TV]
42
00:04:59,421 --> 00:05:03,061
You do know, if that man wins today,
he'll want us out.
43
00:05:03,581 --> 00:05:04,981
-Who?
-Wilson.
44
00:05:05,301 --> 00:05:09,501
Half his cabinet would be made up
of rabid anti-monarchists.
45
00:05:10,021 --> 00:05:11,821
They'd want our heads on spikes.
46
00:05:12,581 --> 00:05:13,821
Vive la révolution.
47
00:05:14,141 --> 00:05:16,421
Except I doubt they speak French in...
48
00:05:16,501 --> 00:05:19,141
[mimics French accent]
...Halifax or Huddersfield.
49
00:05:19,221 --> 00:05:21,261
-[Wilson] The old order.
-Or wherever he's from.
50
00:05:21,341 --> 00:05:24,381
The old boys' network, the cozy...
51
00:05:24,461 --> 00:05:27,581
I even heard a rumor that he's a KGB spy.
52
00:05:27,821 --> 00:05:29,901
Mr. Wilson? That's ridiculous.
53
00:05:30,021 --> 00:05:34,981
That his predecessor, Hugh Gaitskell,
was poisoned by the Russians,
54
00:05:35,061 --> 00:05:36,621
so that their man might take over.
55
00:05:37,661 --> 00:05:40,141
-Who did you hear that from?
-A friend of mine at the lunch club.
56
00:05:40,221 --> 00:05:41,261
He had a whole theory
57
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:45,341
about Wilson being turned
while on a trade mission to Russia.
58
00:05:45,421 --> 00:05:48,061
Said he even had a KGB code name.
59
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:49,861
"Olding."
60
00:05:50,141 --> 00:05:52,581
Well, if you know it,
and your chum knows it,
61
00:05:53,021 --> 00:05:54,821
obviously MI5 will know it,
62
00:05:54,901 --> 00:05:58,101
and they must have come to the conclusion
that Mr. Wilson was fine,
63
00:05:58,181 --> 00:05:59,981
or they would have done
something about it.
64
00:06:00,061 --> 00:06:02,581
Unless they never expected him
to get this far.
65
00:06:02,661 --> 00:06:04,701
-...the ruthless application...
-No one did.
66
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:07,621
...of scientific techniques
in Soviet industry...
67
00:06:08,341 --> 00:06:11,901
can see clearly that only the state
should have this level of control.

Good morning, Your Royal Highness.

[man clears throat] Sir, a reminder
that lunch is at one at the Mirabelle.

-Go on. Off you trot.
-Sir.

00:06:59,341 --> 00:07:01,581
Good morning, Your Royal Highness.
79
00:07:03,141 --> 00:07:04,061
Who are you?
80
00:07:04,861 --> 00:07:05,981
I'm new.
81
00:07:07,341 --> 00:07:10,381
I'm assuming "new" is not your name.
82
00:07:10,461 --> 00:07:11,501
No.
83
00:07:12,221 --> 00:07:15,741
-So, when I ask you--
-Violet, ma'am.

at the Guildhall Gallery, ma'am.

-Of our paintings?
-Portraiture in early modern Europe.
114
00:08:59,541 --> 00:09:01,661
I believe you kindly agreed
to say a few words.
115
00:09:02,221 --> 00:09:03,621
-Did I?
-That was a mistake.
116
00:09:03,701 --> 00:09:04,781
Probably.

Her, sir.
122
00:09:16,661 --> 00:09:19,101
I'm afraid we're not great connoisseurs
of art in this family.
123
00:09:19,181 --> 00:09:21,821
-No, we're country people, really.
-[Elizabeth chuckles]

00:09:21,901 --> 00:09:23,661
-Savages.
-I wouldn't say that.

But I just did say that.

Are you disagreeing with me?

00:09:28,661 --> 00:09:31,901
I've always said, both the Queen
and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother

Good luck with Winston.
135
00:09:58,981 --> 00:10:00,181
If I am to say a few words,
136
00:10:00,261 --> 00:10:03,101
I wonder if you might give me
another of your wonderful tutorials.
137
00:10:03,181 --> 00:10:04,181
With pleasure.
138
00:10:04,261 --> 00:10:06,501
Your predecessor had
very little patience with me,
139
00:10:06,901 --> 00:10:11,181
whereas you've always been kind enough
to make me feel, if not scholarly,
140
00:10:11,261 --> 00:10:13,381
then not stupid, which I appreciate.
141
00:10:14,061 --> 00:10:17,741
So, to that end, what would you say
constitutes early modern?
142
00:10:18,141 --> 00:10:19,701
The end of the Middle Ages
143
00:10:19,781 --> 00:10:21,821
to the beginning
of the Industrial Revolution.
144
00:10:21,901 --> 00:10:24,621
Roughly late 15th century
to late 18th century.
145
00:10:24,701 --> 00:10:26,581
And what era are we in now,
do you suppose?
146
00:10:26,661 --> 00:10:27,981
The frighteningly modern?
147
00:10:28,061 --> 00:10:30,821
I think that all depends on the result
of the general election today.
148
00:10:30,901 --> 00:10:32,821
Oh, yes. Have you voted?
I know one shouldn't ask.
149
00:10:32,901 --> 00:10:33,941
I have, ma'am.
150
00:10:34,701 --> 00:10:36,861
-Conservative.
-Really?
151
00:10:38,181 --> 00:10:40,061
I always had you down
as a man of the left.
152
00:10:40,141 --> 00:10:42,221
Perhaps once. Not anymore.

00:10:42,301 --> 00:10:44,421
-Who's this?
-Rembrandt.

00:10:46,861 --> 00:10:48,661
Wonderfully enigmatic character.
156
00:10:49,901 --> 00:10:52,621
Speaking of enigmas,
what do we make of Mr. Wilson?
157
00:10:52,701 --> 00:10:55,101
-One's heard the rumors, of course.
-Rumors, ma'am?
158
00:10:55,461 --> 00:10:58,741
Yes, whilst on a trade mission to Moscow,
the KGB got to him.
159
00:10:58,821 --> 00:10:59,941
Nonsense, I know.
160
00:11:01,101 --> 00:11:03,901
I wouldn't dismiss them so quickly.
161
00:11:05,181 --> 00:11:07,981
For a young socialist
to visit Russia in those days,

with an impressionable mind.
163
00:11:10,821 --> 00:11:14,981
It's not unthinkable he might have been
turned to more... radical ideas.
164
00:11:16,661 --> 00:11:18,621
But Mr. Wilson is an older man now,
165
00:11:19,301 --> 00:11:21,221
and, I'm sure, a wiser one.
166
00:11:23,341 --> 00:11:25,981
[man on TV] Harold Wilson's life
changed dramatically.
167
00:11:26,061 --> 00:11:28,381
From being a prominent
opposition politician,
168
00:11:28,461 --> 00:11:31,181
Harold Wilson became
the opposition politician.
169
00:11:31,261 --> 00:11:33,541
The potential prime minister
and a servant of the Crown.

Gripped, ma'am.
177
00:12:00,541 --> 00:12:01,901
It's a proper nail-biter.

...key battleground seats.

179
00:12:04,581 --> 00:12:07,621
-You think Mr. Wilson has a chance?
-I'm afraid I do.
180
00:12:08,301 --> 00:12:12,061
I think we must face
the cold wind of socialism
181
00:12:12,141 --> 00:12:15,221
blowing through this land once more.
182
00:12:17,061 --> 00:12:19,061
I probably shouldn't tell you this.
183
00:12:19,741 --> 00:12:21,421
When I was Prime Minister...
184
00:12:22,221 --> 00:12:25,541
a young Mr. Wilson came to me
185
00:12:25,621 --> 00:12:29,021
asking my permission to go to Russia.
186
00:12:30,901 --> 00:12:32,101
On behalf of...
187
00:12:33,661 --> 00:12:34,701
the...
188
00:12:34,781 --> 00:12:35,901
Board of Trade.
189
00:12:36,861 --> 00:12:38,461
Yes. Board of Trade.
190
00:12:39,181 --> 00:12:43,981
One of the first Western politicians
to go behind the Iron Curtain.
191
00:12:44,701 --> 00:12:48,661
I remember thinking then,
"We'd better keep an eye on that one."
192
00:12:48,781 --> 00:12:52,461
...see a clear picture emerging
of who might be the likely winner.
193
00:12:53,101 --> 00:12:55,341
[Elizabeth]
I can't imagine what that would be like...
194
00:12:56,781 --> 00:12:58,941
having a prime minister
one didn't trust...
195
00:13:00,141 --> 00:13:02,301
when one thinks
what it was like with you...
196
00:13:04,261 --> 00:13:06,181
I was a terrible bully.
197
00:13:07,181 --> 00:13:09,101
[Elizabeth]
You were my guardian angel.
198
00:13:10,381 --> 00:13:11,741

200
00:13:15,621 --> 00:13:17,141
The iron in my heart.
201
00:13:20,741 --> 00:13:23,381
You were the compass
that steered and directed me.

00:13:25,261 --> 00:13:26,941
Not just me, all of us.
203
00:13:27,901 --> 00:13:30,021
Where would Great Britain be
without its...
204
00:13:31,621 --> 00:13:33,021

205
00:14:12,701 --> 00:14:14,101

[man] Sir, the protocol is as follows.
256
00:17:54,261 --> 00:17:55,901
When you're announced,
bow from the neck.
257
00:17:55,981 --> 00:17:58,101
First time you see the Queen,
you say, "Your Majesty."
258
00:17:58,181 --> 00:18:00,061
After that it's "ma'am."
Rhymes with "ham."
259
00:18:00,141 --> 00:18:02,421
Until you leave,
then it's "Your Majesty" again.
260
00:18:02,501 --> 00:18:05,341
Don't sit until Her Majesty does.
Don't talk until she does.
261
00:18:05,661 --> 00:18:08,501
Absolutely no physical contact,
other than taking her hand,
262
00:18:08,581 --> 00:18:10,741
if and only if she offers it.
263
00:18:10,821 --> 00:18:12,781
No small talk unless she invites it.
264
00:18:12,941 --> 00:18:15,101
At the end, she'll buzz,
and I'll come and get you.
265
00:18:15,181 --> 00:18:17,501
Bow from the neck
and walk back towards me.
266
00:18:19,421 --> 00:18:20,861

00:18:35,701 --> 00:18:36,741
Thank you.

The country has spoken.
Your party has won the election.
273
00:18:48,621 --> 00:18:50,381
[Elizabeth[ The duty befalls me,
as sovereign,
274
00:18:50,461 --> 00:18:52,501
to ask you to form a government
in my name.
275
00:18:54,301 --> 00:18:55,941
Congratulations, Prime Minister.
276
00:19:10,501 --> 00:19:14,101
Uh, well, I suppose
I should kick things off with an apology.
277
00:19:14,861 --> 00:19:16,341
-Whatever for?
-Well, winning.
278
00:19:17,461 --> 00:19:19,461
I'm aware of your affection
for my predecessor
279
00:19:19,541 --> 00:19:22,461
and doubtless you'd have preferred him
to have continued in office.
280
00:19:22,941 --> 00:19:25,261
It is my duty not to have preferences.
281
00:19:25,341 --> 00:19:28,821
Well, we all do though, don't we?
We can't help it. It's human nature.
282
00:19:29,341 --> 00:19:32,061
And I can see the attraction
of someone like Posh Alec.
283
00:19:32,141 --> 00:19:33,981
Someone you can chat with
about the racing,
284
00:19:34,061 --> 00:19:37,181
someone well-bred, highborn,
who knows how to hold his cutlery,
285
00:19:37,261 --> 00:19:38,821
as opposed to a ruffian like me.
286
00:19:39,861 --> 00:19:40,901
Hardly.
287
00:19:40,981 --> 00:19:43,421
Still, the country said otherwise.
288
00:19:43,501 --> 00:19:46,621
They'd had enough of the mess
those Conservatives left us
289
00:19:47,021 --> 00:19:49,101
and the havoc they wreaked.
290
00:19:49,181 --> 00:19:51,101
Soaring land and house prices,
291
00:19:51,181 --> 00:19:53,381
race riots, sex scandals,
292
00:19:53,461 --> 00:19:56,901
large-scale unemployment,
rejection from the EEC,
293
00:19:56,981 --> 00:20:00,861
and an annual trade deficit
of £800 million.
294
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:04,541
Yes, it's an unenviable legacy.
295
00:20:06,621 --> 00:20:09,501
What will you do about the balance
of payments? Will you devalue?
296
00:20:10,221 --> 00:20:11,901
No, m-ma'am.
297
00:20:12,621 --> 00:20:16,261
A Labour government devalued the pound
once before, with little success,
298
00:20:16,341 --> 00:20:20,901
and my party cannot risk being seen
as the party of devaluation.
299
00:20:22,461 --> 00:20:24,941
It is also a matter of national pride.
300
00:20:25,821 --> 00:20:27,261
This is still a great country,
301
00:20:27,821 --> 00:20:29,941
and the pound is a powerful symbol.
302
00:20:33,421 --> 00:20:35,501
Can't have been an easy one
to get used to.
303
00:20:36,541 --> 00:20:37,541
What's that?
304
00:20:37,621 --> 00:20:39,821
Well, you being part of that symbol.
305
00:20:39,901 --> 00:20:42,581
Your face on every coin and banknote.
306
00:20:43,541 --> 00:20:44,541
[Elizabeth] No.
307
00:20:45,221 --> 00:20:48,581
I remember seeing my father's face
on a shilling for the first time
308
00:20:48,981 --> 00:20:50,541
and thinking how odd it looked.
309
00:20:51,701 --> 00:20:52,901
At the same time realizing
310
00:20:52,981 --> 00:20:55,501
I would probably, one day,
have to look at my own face.
311
00:20:56,781 --> 00:20:59,461
But one never knows
what destiny has in store for one.
312
00:21:00,581 --> 00:21:02,461
Did you ever imagine
you'd be Prime Minister?
313
00:21:02,821 --> 00:21:05,501
-Goodness, no.
-How could you have done?
314
00:21:06,221 --> 00:21:09,701
-Mr. Gaitskell was still such a young man.
-He was.
315
00:21:10,501 --> 00:21:12,701
No one could possibly
have foreseen his death.
316
00:21:13,461 --> 00:21:14,461
No.
317
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:16,341
-So sudden.
-Yes.
318
00:21:16,941 --> 00:21:17,941
And unexpected.
319
00:21:18,741 --> 00:21:19,741
Yes.
320
00:21:20,501 --> 00:21:22,621
Still, we make of our destiny what we can.
321
00:21:23,901 --> 00:21:24,901
Indeed.
322
00:21:27,501 --> 00:21:29,661
[Elizabeth]
I'm not sure what I was expecting.
323
00:21:30,061 --> 00:21:31,501
Each of his predecessors,
324
00:21:31,581 --> 00:21:34,101
Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, even Alec,
325
00:21:34,541 --> 00:21:37,341
each in their own way was formidable.
326
00:21:37,701 --> 00:21:38,941
Statesmanlike.
327
00:21:39,341 --> 00:21:42,221
But Wilson is neither old nor young,
328
00:21:42,701 --> 00:21:45,501
tall nor short, loud nor quiet,
329
00:21:46,021 --> 00:21:47,381
warm nor cold.
330
00:21:48,261 --> 00:21:51,501
He seems to have come from nowhere
and is entirely unremarkable.
331
00:21:51,581 --> 00:21:52,541
[chuckles]
332
00:21:52,621 --> 00:21:54,221
Best qualities in a spy.
333
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:55,981
What did you say?
334
00:21:56,901 --> 00:21:59,181
Aren't those the best qualities in a spy?
335
00:21:59,741 --> 00:22:02,021
Well, to be forgettable, unremarkable.
336
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:04,021
Not stand out in a crowd.
337
00:22:04,101 --> 00:22:06,181
We used to say that about Henry,
didn't we, dear?
338
00:22:06,261 --> 00:22:07,181
What?
339
00:22:07,261 --> 00:22:09,261
That you would have made the perfect spy,
340
00:22:09,341 --> 00:22:11,421
because no one could remember
having met you.
341
00:22:11,501 --> 00:22:13,061
[guests laugh]
342
00:22:13,141 --> 00:22:15,621
I-I-I'd say that was marginally better
343
00:22:15,701 --> 00:22:18,861
than everyone having nightmares
having met you!
344

quite who one's going to get

from one moment to the next.
348
00:22:37,741 --> 00:22:38,821
He's changeable.
349
00:22:39,341 --> 00:22:41,701
He goes from loving to hating. Mummy!

and come back to you straight away.

Mr. Furnival Jones, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. Thank you for seeing me.
437
00:30:06,541 --> 00:30:08,061
It gives me no pleasure to tell you
438
00:30:08,141 --> 00:30:11,061
that we have been approached
by a former Russian agent
439
00:30:11,541 --> 00:30:15,141
who has identified a mole
at the top of the British establishment.
440
00:30:16,341 --> 00:30:17,381
So, it's true.
441
00:30:18,861 --> 00:30:20,701
-Ma'am?
-I'd heard the rumors.
442
00:30:21,261 --> 00:30:22,901
Initially, I dismissed them,
443
00:30:22,981 --> 00:30:25,861
but spending time with him personally,
in close proximity,
444
00:30:26,181 --> 00:30:28,341
one had become more and more suspicious.
445
00:30:29,141 --> 00:30:30,181
Indeed.
446
00:30:30,701 --> 00:30:34,861
And that he should have been able
to carry on for so long, undetected,
447
00:30:35,421 --> 00:30:38,821
is a subject of enormous embarrassment
to all of us.
448
00:30:39,661 --> 00:30:42,181
This obviously needs
to be handled very delicately.
449
00:30:42,661 --> 00:30:44,301
That's what I've come
to talk to you about,
450
00:30:44,381 --> 00:30:47,661
to see if we might find a way
to contain it.
451
00:30:48,541 --> 00:30:51,501
What? We can't do that.
452
00:30:52,341 --> 00:30:54,461
Have a Russian spy in Downing Street?
453
00:30:56,461 --> 00:31:00,541
Oh. Those rumors.
You're talking about Harold Wilson.
454
00:31:01,021 --> 00:31:03,221
-Yes.
-I'm so sorry, ma'am.
455
00:31:03,741 --> 00:31:05,541
Yes, it's widely accepted
456
00:31:05,621 --> 00:31:07,941
that repeated attempts
were made by the KGB
457
00:31:08,021 --> 00:31:11,341
to recruit Wilson when he was younger,
working on trade missions.
458
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:14,781
He traveled to Russia a great deal
in those years,
459
00:31:14,861 --> 00:31:18,421
but the evidence for the Russians
having succeeded is so weak,
460
00:31:18,501 --> 00:31:20,421
we discounted it some time ago.
461
00:31:21,861 --> 00:31:23,501
And the poisoning of Gaitskell?
462
00:31:23,581 --> 00:31:26,141
Gaitskell wasn't poisoned.
He died of lupus.
463
00:31:26,221 --> 00:31:29,501
The fact is, even if the Russians
had poisoned Gaitskell,
464
00:31:30,421 --> 00:31:34,181
the most likely beneficiary would have
been George Brown, not Harold Wilson.
465
00:31:34,541 --> 00:31:38,301
Wilson was not favorite
to take over the leadership at the time.
466
00:31:38,581 --> 00:31:40,861
We don't have a Russian spy
in Downing Street?
467
00:31:42,061 --> 00:31:43,021
No.
468
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:45,661
But it seems...
469
00:31:47,101 --> 00:31:50,421
we do have one in Buckingham Palace.

00:32:00,501 --> 00:32:04,101
But can anything ever be fully understood?

Take our bearded trickster here.
475
00:32:08,861 --> 00:32:12,541
A Venetian cardsharp
originally ascribed to Titian,
476
00:32:12,621 --> 00:32:14,301
until new evidence came to light,
477
00:32:14,381 --> 00:32:17,381
proving the painting
is actually by Lorenzo Lotto.
478
00:32:17,741 --> 00:32:21,021
As time passes, so we learn.
479
00:32:21,981 --> 00:32:23,661
Truths are revealed.
480
00:32:24,461 --> 00:32:25,941
In the late Renaissance,
481
00:32:26,021 --> 00:32:29,061
painting after painting,
masterpiece after masterpiece
482
00:32:29,141 --> 00:32:33,381
seemed full of hidden intentions,
multiple meanings.
483
00:32:36,381 --> 00:32:39,261
Annibale Carracci's
Allegory of Truth and Time,
484
00:32:39,341 --> 00:32:42,101
painted in 1584 or 1585.
485
00:32:43,021 --> 00:32:45,301
This winged figure here
486
00:32:45,981 --> 00:32:48,901
rescues a young woman, his daughter,
487
00:32:49,421 --> 00:32:50,501
from the darkness.
488
00:32:50,581 --> 00:32:52,101
He is time.
489
00:32:52,381 --> 00:32:54,301
She is truth.
490
00:32:55,021 --> 00:32:56,541
And this figure below,
491
00:32:56,621 --> 00:32:59,981
trampled by truth, is deceit.
492
00:33:00,901 --> 00:33:02,781
Carracci's message is clear.
493
00:33:06,381 --> 00:33:09,061
Be patient. The truth will out.
494
00:33:09,141 --> 00:33:13,701
[Jones] I'm afraid I can now confirm
that the Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures,
495
00:33:14,181 --> 00:33:18,501
Sir Anthony Blunt, was the fourth man
in the Cambridge spy ring.
496
00:33:18,861 --> 00:33:22,941
[Blunt] The message encoded
in the painting is repeated in reality.
497
00:33:23,021 --> 00:33:23,941
As with the Lotto,
498
00:33:24,021 --> 00:33:26,941
time passed, and the painting was restored
499
00:33:27,021 --> 00:33:30,181
to reveal deceit is two-faced.
500
00:33:30,861 --> 00:33:34,141
She has a second, monstrous visage.
501
00:33:34,501 --> 00:33:38,581
[Jones] And that alongside conducting
a distinguished career as an art historian
502
00:33:38,661 --> 00:33:40,901
and member of the royal household,
503
00:33:41,861 --> 00:33:45,061
he spent 15 years as an active KGB mole
504
00:33:45,381 --> 00:33:49,621
and passed almost 2,000 documents
of sensitive military secrets
505
00:33:50,141 --> 00:33:51,221
to the Kremlin.
506
00:33:51,301 --> 00:33:56,141
Truth may lie beneath the surface,
buried, forgotten,
507
00:33:56,741 --> 00:33:59,621
but time has a way of uncovering it.
508
00:34:01,341 --> 00:34:03,221
One thinks of The Merchant of Venice.
509
00:34:04,301 --> 00:34:06,301

512
00:34:13,501 --> 00:34:16,821
but at the length, truth will out."

the information was false.

We get these sorts of claims all the time.
But...
517

and interviewed Blunt, and...
518

00:35:07,181 --> 00:35:09,981
he should, of course, stand trial,
be put in prison,
523
00:35:10,061 --> 00:35:12,101
and the key thrown away, quite frankly.
524
00:35:12,341 --> 00:35:16,901
Unless it was felt
that exposure of Blunt's treachery
525
00:35:17,301 --> 00:35:19,501
could cause even more damage.
526
00:35:19,861 --> 00:35:21,941
What, than keeping it silent?
527
00:35:22,861 --> 00:35:23,741
How?
528
00:35:23,821 --> 00:35:25,741
[Elizabeth] It could have
a catastrophic effect
529
00:35:25,821 --> 00:35:28,221
on the reputation
of our intelligence services.
530
00:35:28,301 --> 00:35:30,821
The fact that he had gone undetected
for so long,
531
00:35:30,901 --> 00:35:35,661
which could, in turn, seriously affect
our relationship with the Americans.
532
00:35:35,741 --> 00:35:39,621
We're on our last reserves of goodwill
with them as it is.
533
00:35:39,701 --> 00:35:41,181
One more operational failure,
534
00:35:41,261 --> 00:35:43,501
and our credibility
would be completely shot.
535
00:35:43,581 --> 00:35:45,261
What are they suggesting?
536
00:35:45,341 --> 00:35:48,621
That we turn a blind eye
and allow a traitor,
537
00:35:49,461 --> 00:35:54,861
an enemy of this country, to remain free,
with his career and reputation intact,
538
00:35:55,661 --> 00:35:58,341
just to spare MI5's blushes?
539
00:36:01,141 --> 00:36:03,461
-The man should be shot.
-[Elizabeth] I agree.
540
00:36:04,141 --> 00:36:07,541
But instead, I have to get up
and pay tribute to him at this exhibition.
541
00:36:08,421 --> 00:36:10,541
How am I supposed
to get through my speech?
542
00:36:11,061 --> 00:36:12,781
I might choke on my words.
543
00:36:27,861 --> 00:36:29,781
[Elizabeth] We stand here tonight,
544
00:36:29,861 --> 00:36:33,301
surrounded by some of the Royal
Collection's greatest treasures,
545
00:36:34,141 --> 00:36:39,021
to admire the genius of Rubens,
Titian, Rembrandt, and Holbein,
546
00:36:39,381 --> 00:36:41,621
but that we are able
to make sense of it all,
547
00:36:41,861 --> 00:36:44,221
appreciate it, understand it...
548
00:36:45,021 --> 00:36:46,901
speaks to the genius of another man,
549
00:36:47,581 --> 00:36:52,541
whose exceptional scholarship and vision
have brought us together today.
550
00:36:53,261 --> 00:36:55,501
-Sir Anthony Blunt.
-[applause]
551
00:36:57,781 --> 00:36:58,781
[Blunt] Thank you.
552
00:37:00,621 --> 00:37:03,741
It is he who has curated this exhibition,
553
00:37:04,221 --> 00:37:05,981
and given meaning to mystery,
554
00:37:06,061 --> 00:37:09,821
and revealed
what really does lie beneath the surface.
555
00:37:10,701 --> 00:37:14,101
I, for one, had never thought
of art history in that way,
556
00:37:14,701 --> 00:37:16,581
as the art of investigation,
557
00:37:17,061 --> 00:37:19,821
solving riddles, finding clues,
558
00:37:20,421 --> 00:37:21,981
unlocking secrets.
559
00:37:22,621 --> 00:37:24,341
It's been quite an education.
560
00:37:25,621 --> 00:37:27,421
I particularly enjoyed the portrait
561
00:37:27,501 --> 00:37:32,181
which turned out to have another person
lurking beneath the surface.
562
00:37:35,101 --> 00:37:37,141
Have I described that correctly,
Sir Anthony?
563
00:37:37,221 --> 00:37:39,781
Or am I stumbling around in the dark,
as usual?
564
00:37:39,861 --> 00:37:41,181
[audience chuckles]
565
00:37:41,261 --> 00:37:44,141
Not another person, ma'am.
The same person.
566
00:37:44,661 --> 00:37:46,821
It was not uncommon
in the early modern period
567
00:37:46,901 --> 00:37:49,021
for an artist to finish a portrait,
568
00:37:49,101 --> 00:37:50,461
and the patron would take a look
569
00:37:50,541 --> 00:37:53,581
and ask for a more flattering version
of themselves.
570
00:37:54,341 --> 00:37:57,661
And the artist would paint
another version over it.
571
00:37:59,381 --> 00:38:01,021
So, not two different people?
572
00:38:01,581 --> 00:38:04,101
Two different versions of the same person.
573
00:38:05,021 --> 00:38:07,461
Which might as well
be two different people.
574
00:38:08,461 --> 00:38:11,541
The idealized version of themselves
they want to be seen,
575
00:38:11,901 --> 00:38:15,541
and the less desirable person
they really are, hidden away.
576
00:38:16,821 --> 00:38:18,981
There's even a word for it: "palimpsest."
577
00:38:20,021 --> 00:38:22,541
That generally applies
to manuscripts, ma'am.
578
00:38:22,621 --> 00:38:24,021
"Pentimento" for paintings.
579
00:38:24,861 --> 00:38:26,261
Pentimento.
580
00:38:26,941 --> 00:38:29,541
Well, I think I speak for everyone here
581
00:38:29,621 --> 00:38:32,101
when I say none of us
will be able to trust
582
00:38:32,181 --> 00:38:35,621
or look at anything
in the same way ever again.
583
00:38:35,701 --> 00:38:37,861
[applause]
584
00:38:37,941 --> 00:38:39,941
[cameras click]
585
00:39:05,861 --> 00:39:06,861
Prime Minister.
586
00:39:08,621 --> 00:39:09,861
Your Majesty.
587
00:39:10,301 --> 00:39:11,461
I'm so glad you came.
588
00:39:11,541 --> 00:39:13,821
It gives me the chance
to apologize in person.
589
00:39:15,141 --> 00:39:17,741
-What for?
-There's no need to understand.
590
00:39:18,381 --> 00:39:21,381
All you need to know is
that I misjudged you terribly,
591
00:39:21,461 --> 00:39:24,421
and I'd like to take this opportunity
to say sorry.
592
00:39:29,981 --> 00:39:31,181
Are you an art man?
593
00:39:32,181 --> 00:39:34,861
-Art?
-Yes, art. Paintings.
594
00:39:34,941 --> 00:39:36,861
Well, actually, no. No. Uh...
595
00:39:37,701 --> 00:39:41,421
I'm an economist,
a statistician at heart.
596
00:39:42,061 --> 00:39:43,821
I'm happiest with numbers.
597
00:39:44,901 --> 00:39:46,261
You can trust numbers.
598
00:39:47,061 --> 00:39:48,101
They're honest.
599
00:39:49,061 --> 00:39:50,861
There's no mystery
600
00:39:50,941 --> 00:39:54,021
or deception or allegory.
601
00:39:55,061 --> 00:39:56,541
You know where you stand.
602
00:39:57,861 --> 00:40:00,141
What you see is what you get.
603
00:40:02,061 --> 00:40:03,541
And I prefer things that way.
604
00:40:04,621 --> 00:40:05,941
I quite agree.
605
00:40:07,301 --> 00:40:09,301
[cameras click]
606
00:40:11,101 --> 00:40:13,181
His Royal Highness
would like to see you, sir.
607
00:40:15,941 --> 00:40:16,821
Excuse me a moment.
608
00:40:21,261 --> 00:40:22,461
[exhales]
609
00:40:39,701 --> 00:40:44,221
The very least you could do
is quietly crawl away,
610
00:40:45,141 --> 00:40:48,621
not force us to live with you
under the same roof.
611
00:40:49,621 --> 00:40:51,501
But doing the... the right thing,
612
00:40:52,061 --> 00:40:55,021
the decent thing, the honorable thing...
613
00:40:56,061 --> 00:40:58,341
you wouldn't have the faintest idea
what that was.
614
00:40:59,461 --> 00:41:03,021
Well, I am going to be watching you,
615
00:41:03,701 --> 00:41:07,781
and one wrong step, you treacherous snake,
616
00:41:08,621 --> 00:41:11,101
and I will expose you
and have you thrown in jail.
617
00:41:12,581 --> 00:41:16,781
I would think long and hard
before I did that, sir.
618
00:41:18,341 --> 00:41:21,301
You would do well
to reflect on your own position.
619
00:41:22,581 --> 00:41:23,981
What are you talking about?
620
00:41:27,381 --> 00:41:31,141
You may remember,
at the height of the Profumo sex scandal,
621
00:41:31,901 --> 00:41:35,261
there was talk of a member
of the royal family being involved.
622
00:41:35,341 --> 00:41:36,661
No one knew who,
623
00:41:37,581 --> 00:41:40,821
but it was rumored to be a senior member
of the royal family.
624
00:41:42,141 --> 00:41:43,341
Very senior.
625
00:41:45,621 --> 00:41:49,341
When the osteopath at the center
of the scandal, Stephen Ward,
626
00:41:50,061 --> 00:41:51,261
took his own life...
627
00:41:52,581 --> 00:41:54,821
there was speculation
that a number of portraits
628
00:41:54,901 --> 00:41:58,301
of that senior member of the royal family
had been found in his apartment.
629
00:41:59,941 --> 00:42:03,861
Naturally, a great many people were keen
to get their hands on those portraits.
630
00:42:05,061 --> 00:42:09,901
Mercifully, someone respected
and well connected in the art world...
631
00:42:11,021 --> 00:42:14,221
was able to make sure
they didn't fall into the wrong hands.
632
00:42:14,581 --> 00:42:19,021
I never saw Stephen Ward in any capacity
other than as an osteopath.
633
00:42:19,861 --> 00:42:23,741
If he made drawings of me,
he would have done so from photographs.
634
00:42:24,781 --> 00:42:27,901
We all tell ourselves all sorts of things
635
00:42:27,981 --> 00:42:29,501
to make sense of the past.
636
00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:32,901
So much so that our fabrications,
637
00:42:32,981 --> 00:42:35,341
if we tell them to ourselves often enough,
638
00:42:35,901 --> 00:42:37,301
become the truth.
639
00:42:38,301 --> 00:42:40,581
In our minds and everyone else's.
640
00:42:42,021 --> 00:42:46,501
And believe you me,
I'm happy for your truth to be the truth.
641
00:42:47,821 --> 00:42:49,581
It would be better for everyone.
642
00:42:50,621 --> 00:42:53,301
Imagine how awful it would be,
for example,
643
00:42:54,021 --> 00:42:57,021
if those pictures
saw the light of day now.
644
00:42:57,541 --> 00:42:59,341
The storm it would create.
645
00:43:00,461 --> 00:43:01,661
And for what?
646
00:43:04,341 --> 00:43:05,661
It's the past.
647
00:43:32,821 --> 00:43:35,541
-Would you excuse me?
-Of course, Your Majesty.
