1
00:00:07,257 --> 00:00:10,886
To prime minister
Harold Wilson and his government today,
2
00:00:10,969 --> 00:00:12,679
as pressure on the pound...
3
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:19,186
Good afternoon, Mr. King.
4
00:00:19,978 --> 00:00:22,272
- The damage had been done...
- Good afternoon, Mr. King.
5
00:00:22,356 --> 00:00:26,401
Britain's trade gap
is a staggering £107 million.
6
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:29,071
It's the worst figure on record.
7
00:00:29,154 --> 00:00:32,533
The government said that these figures
were distorted and meaningless.
8
00:00:36,954 --> 00:00:38,163
Good afternoon, Mr. King.
9
00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:40,249
Good afternoon, Mr. King.
10
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:42,751
Good afternoon, Mr. King.
11
00:00:43,961 --> 00:00:45,546
Where is it?
12
00:00:45,629 --> 00:00:47,965
Here. Tomorrow's front page, sir.
13
00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:51,885
- Not strong enough.
- It's the strongest headline
14
00:00:51,969 --> 00:00:54,221
the daily mirror's ever written
about a labour leader.
15
00:00:54,304 --> 00:00:57,307
"Bowed head, guilty conscience"?
I don't know what it's saying.
16
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:07,067
Now I know what it's saying.
17
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:28,088
It's a sad day when the daily mirror,
a labour-supporting newspaper,
18
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:29,881
turns against a labour leader like this.
19
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:35,637
We've done some thinking
20
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:39,850
and come up with an idea
for how to deflect any further criticism.
21
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:40,933
Yeah, go on.
22
00:01:41,643 --> 00:01:43,228
Lord mountbatten.
23
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,024
What's he got to do with anything?
24
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:49,818
I'm sure we all agree
that he's a symbol of a bygone era,
25
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:54,072
of privilege and inequality,
empire and extravagance.
26
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:56,950
- Not to mention a pompous bloody arse.
- Go on.
27
00:01:57,451 --> 00:01:59,620
As chief of the defence staff,
28
00:01:59,703 --> 00:02:02,664
he's refusing to make
the defense cuts we need,
29
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:06,585
cuts which you promised
in your election manifesto.
30
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:10,255
One might even tolerate it
if he weren't so...
31
00:02:10,631 --> 00:02:14,676
- Vain or crooked or power-mad.
- Quite.
32
00:02:16,053 --> 00:02:17,346
What are you proposing?
33
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:19,598
That we kick him out.
34
00:02:22,893 --> 00:02:26,146
But at least he's busy,
and inside the tent.
35
00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:29,858
You know, people like mountbatten,
meddlers, for want of a kinder word,
36
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:31,652
energetic, well-connected meddlers,
37
00:02:31,735 --> 00:02:34,112
it's better that they're inside the tent,
pissing out,
38
00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:35,947
than outside the tent, pissing in.
39
00:02:36,031 --> 00:02:39,034
But he belongs to another time, Harold.
40
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:43,455
Kicking him out makes economic sense
and shows we're tough.
41
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:48,043
And who knows?
It mightjust buy us some good headlines.
42
00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:54,007
Yes, I could do with some good headlines.
43
00:02:54,925 --> 00:02:57,010
General salute!
44
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,474
Present arms!
45
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:37,569
As chief of the defence staff,
46
00:04:37,652 --> 00:04:40,906
you will be aware
that the treasury has been conducting
47
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:44,659
a wide-ranging review
of defense spending...
48
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:46,912
And before you go any further,
49
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:50,916
the cuts you propose would leave us
hopelessly vulnerable and weak,
50
00:04:50,999 --> 00:04:52,918
especially east of Suez.
51
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:56,171
Now, are our enemies cutting back
on military spending?
52
00:04:56,254 --> 00:05:00,133
No, they're increasing fivefold, tenfold.
53
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:05,055
And the conclusion of the review
is that we'd like to make a few changes.
54
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:09,476
One of which is to your post
of chief of the defence staff.
55
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:13,020
What?
56
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,444
Are you kicking me out?
57
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:23,323
Well, no, sir, I'm thanking you
58
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:25,867
on behalf of the government,
on behalf of the armed forces,
59
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:31,915
on behalf of the whole country,
for your many years of remarkable service.
60
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:34,584
You are.
61
00:05:35,126 --> 00:05:36,628
You're kicking me out.
62
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:42,342
Well, there we are!
63
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:44,302
Well...
64
00:05:46,429 --> 00:05:47,722
There we are.
65
00:06:13,665 --> 00:06:15,125
It's absurd.
66
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,586
That a man
of lord mountbatten's achievements,
67
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:20,297
supreme allied commander
for south east Asia,
68
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,508
one of the chief architects
of the invasion of occupied Europe,
69
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,886
which, incidentally, won us the war,
70
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:28,346
should be told by a man
who's achieved what?
71
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,681
Nothing.
72
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:33,435
Broken his promises, crippled the economy,
run this great country into the ground,
73
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:36,980
that he, mountbatten,
is surplus to requirements?
74
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:39,190
It's not absurd.
75
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:41,568
It's obscene.
76
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,076
But where one door closes...
77
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:53,455
Another opens.
78
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:57,709
There is special Providence in such a fall.
79
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:02,005
If it be now, 'tis not to come;
If it be not to come, it will be now;
80
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:04,799
if it be not now, yet it will come:
81
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,761
The readiness is all.
82
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:26,404
What am I going to do, barratt?
83
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:28,907
You'll bounce back, sir.
84
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:31,409
Before long, you'll
have a hundred projects.
85
00:07:36,164 --> 00:07:37,374
Cake, sir.
86
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,344
- Hip-hip!
- Hooray!
87
00:07:51,262 --> 00:07:56,476
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
88
00:07:56,559 --> 00:08:01,439
and never brought to mind
89
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:07,028
should auld acquaintance be forgot
90
00:08:07,112 --> 00:08:12,033
and days of auld iang syne
91
00:08:12,283 --> 00:08:17,580
for auld iang syne, my dear
92
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:22,544
for auld iang syne
93
00:08:22,627 --> 00:08:28,008
we 7! Take a cup of kindness yet
94
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:32,971
for auld iang syne
95
00:08:33,430 --> 00:08:38,268
we two have run about the hills
96
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:43,648
and pulled the daisies fine
97
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:49,029
but we've wandered many a weary foot
98
00:08:49,112 --> 00:08:54,075
since auld iang syne
99
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:17,097
Thank you.
100
00:09:24,814 --> 00:09:26,066
Welcome home, sir.
101
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:18,785
Yes, of course.
102
00:10:19,994 --> 00:10:21,704
I think that should be fine.
103
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,541
I don't think we need to worry
about the stairs.
104
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:33,341
Pens down, your majesty.
105
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:38,930
Ten minutes to newmarket.
106
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,673
Thank you, Cecil. How is he?
107
00:11:14,382 --> 00:11:15,925
As good as new again.
108
00:11:19,762 --> 00:11:22,557
And do you really think
he's recovered from his injury?
109
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,184
I do, ma'am.
110
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:26,853
Gelded, fired, well rested.
111
00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:28,897
We won't have him
breaking down on us again.
112
00:11:30,607 --> 00:11:32,984
Any chance of seeing him
on the gallops today?
113
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:37,322
Oh, no, ma'am.
It's too wet and muddy out there.
114
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:39,490
It's been a lot like this.
115
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,827
Hardly been able to train him at all.
116
00:11:42,994 --> 00:11:45,079
Well, we can't do anything
about the weather.
117
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:51,169
Now we come to the most anticipated race
118
00:11:51,252 --> 00:11:54,923
of this year's royal ascot meeting,
the queen Alexandra stakes.
119
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:57,383
This is britain's longest flat race,
120
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,260
where stamina is of the essence,
121
00:11:59,344 --> 00:12:01,804
and the favorite is,
of course, number nine,
122
00:12:02,305 --> 00:12:05,016
her majesty's own horse, apprentice.
123
00:12:05,475 --> 00:12:08,561
And they're off with number six, panic,
taking an early lead,
124
00:12:08,645 --> 00:12:10,563
followed by number one, Valentine's day,
125
00:12:10,647 --> 00:12:13,316
with number two, olympic boy,
breathing down their necks.
126
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,944
They're on the pace now
as they make their start.
127
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:20,281
Behind them at number 10,
omphialus, is far off the leaders,
128
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:23,618
but number nine, apprentice,
tails behind in fifth place.
129
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:28,748
A disappointing start for last year's
Yorkshire cup champion.
130
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,502
And panic is still ahead, but behind him,
apprentice is gaining ground,
131
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:35,713
seeing off a challenge from number seven,
philemon, and pulling into fourth.
132
00:12:37,048 --> 00:12:38,048
Your majesty.
133
00:12:38,299 --> 00:12:42,053
- Your majesty.
- Dickie, darling. Chin up, buttercup.
134
00:12:43,012 --> 00:12:45,682
Apprentice really has the look of eagles.
135
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,642
-Apprentice turns up the pressure
-come on!
136
00:12:47,725 --> 00:12:49,852
On olympic boy
as he moves into third place.
137
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:52,897
And in what is a fantastic recovery
from a slow start,
138
00:12:52,981 --> 00:12:57,068
apprentice is now level with number two,
olympic boy, as they race uphill.
139
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:59,946
As they come up to the final turn,
panic leads by a length and a half,
140
00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:02,031
but apprentice is coming through
with a challenge.
141
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,366
Now it's the home straight.
142
00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:05,660
Apprentice is charging down
the near side, digging deep.
143
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:08,371
Nearly, nearly, nearly...
144
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:12,792
- No, he hasn't got it.
- No, apprentice is starting to struggle.
145
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:14,585
Panic is holding on,
he's holding his lead,
146
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:18,089
and apprentice is falling behind
as Valentine's day pulls back into second.
147
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:21,884
Olympic boy coming up from the rear,
and it's a busy finish,
148
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:24,053
but number six, panic, finishes first,
149
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:27,598
and closely followed
by number two olympic boy, and...
150
00:13:27,682 --> 00:13:29,434
What are we doing wrong, porchey?
151
00:13:30,184 --> 00:13:33,229
We used to be at the top.
Now we barely compete.
152
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:38,359
It's possible that the system
set up by your late father
153
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:40,236
is now a little...
154
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:44,032
And might need...
155
00:13:44,407 --> 00:13:47,035
Kicking out? Throwing on the dust heap?
156
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:52,707
If you want to keep up
with the aga khans of this world,
157
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:56,961
I would suggest you follow their lead.
158
00:13:57,045 --> 00:13:58,087
And do what?
159
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:01,758
Travel round the world and catch up
with all the latest developments.
160
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,468
I can't just do that.
161
00:14:03,551 --> 00:14:05,970
In case you hadn't noticed,
I have a job to do.
162
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:09,557
It would only be France, not timbuktu.
163
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,604
There are experienced people who are able
to deputize for you in your absence.
164
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:25,364
As you know,
165
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,950
this government is committed
to maintaining sterling
166
00:14:28,034 --> 00:14:29,911
at $2.80 to the pound.
167
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,663
But with every economic blow,
168
00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:35,875
the oil embargo,
the balance of payments deficit,
169
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:38,669
and the dockers' union strike,
170
00:14:38,753 --> 00:14:41,798
it's proving harder and harder to maintain.
171
00:14:56,270 --> 00:15:01,484
And I'm afraid that now we have
no alternative but to devalue the pound.
172
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:08,074
And I need hardly say
it is a matter of overwhelming regret...
173
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:11,244
For me personally.
174
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:15,331
And a humiliation for the government.
175
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:21,879
It feels like a bad time to say that
I won't be here for our meeting next week.
176
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,674
Perhaps the next two weeks.
177
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:29,178
But queen Elizabeth, the queen mother,
will step in as counsellor of state.
178
00:15:30,972 --> 00:15:33,266
A role she's executed many times.
179
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:43,776
Your majesty.
180
00:16:01,085 --> 00:16:02,128
Good evening.
181
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:09,510
A few days ago, the cabinet took its
unanimous decision to devalue the pound.
182
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:10,887
I can now tell you
183
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,305
why we have taken this action,
184
00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:15,850
and, more importantly,
what it will mean for you.
185
00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:21,272
From now on, the pound abroad
will be worth 14 percent or so less,
186
00:16:21,355 --> 00:16:23,191
in terms of other currencies.
187
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,693
Now, this doesn't mean, of course,
188
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:27,403
that the pound here in britain,
189
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:30,698
in your pocket or your purse
or your bank, has been devalued.
190
00:16:31,073 --> 00:16:35,244
What it does mean is that the goods
we buy from abroad will be dearer.
191
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:39,457
So for many goods,
it will be cheaper to buy British.
192
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:46,130
Now, this devaluation
has been a hard decision,
193
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:50,343
and some of its consequences
will be hard for a time.
194
00:16:51,928 --> 00:16:54,805
For three years,
this government has fought,
195
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:57,183
as it was our duty to fight,
196
00:16:57,266 --> 00:17:00,728
the burden of the deficit
that the previous government left us with.
197
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:04,148
But now is not the time
to attribute blame.
198
00:17:04,774 --> 00:17:07,777
Now is our chance to break free
from that straitjacket...
199
00:17:08,569 --> 00:17:12,198
Seize this opportunity with both hands.
200
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:17,119
This is a proud nation.
We're out on our own now.
201
00:17:18,579 --> 00:17:23,751
Now we must choose to put britain first.
202
00:17:46,357 --> 00:17:50,861
Tonight,
we veterans of the Burma campaign
203
00:17:50,945 --> 00:17:54,282
are gathered here
to renew old comradeships...
204
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,243
And to remember fallen brothers
205
00:17:57,827 --> 00:18:00,955
at yenangyaung and rangoon.
206
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:04,000
We remember how it was fought.
207
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:08,546
The old way, the honorable way.
208
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:11,424
Body to body, bayonet to bayonet.
209
00:18:13,301 --> 00:18:16,554
And that swift,
exhilarating sweep of victory
210
00:18:16,637 --> 00:18:20,891
that carried us over the irrawaddy
and into mandalay.
211
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:24,437
And there we met the Japanese army...
212
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:26,981
And we tore it apart.
213
00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:32,111
Yes, gentlemen,
214
00:18:32,194 --> 00:18:36,574
we military men will always have
our past glories to look back on.
215
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,286
But what of this new generation?
216
00:18:41,412 --> 00:18:45,625
These young men and women for whom
some of the best of us gave our lives.
217
00:18:45,708 --> 00:18:46,834
Hear, hear.
218
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:48,836
Decline,
219
00:18:48,919 --> 00:18:54,091
irrelevance
and the devaluation of pound sterling.
220
00:18:54,175 --> 00:18:57,178
That is the sunless future that faces them.
221
00:18:58,054 --> 00:19:03,392
For them, the white heat of revolution
is not a forging heat.
222
00:19:03,893 --> 00:19:05,478
It is a melting heat.
223
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,939
It melts the silver of our battle honors...
224
00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:15,363
And reduces to cinders the very foundation
of our economy, our currency.
225
00:19:15,446 --> 00:19:17,948
- Yes.
- Hear, hear.
226
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:27,083
If the only glories available
to this nation are its past glories...
227
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,419
Then let us Cherish them now.
228
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:32,546
Hear, hear.
229
00:19:34,757 --> 00:19:39,011
"Come you back, you British soldier,
come you back..."
230
00:19:42,765 --> 00:19:44,058
Who will join me?
231
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:49,271
Ship me somewhere east of Suez
232
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,483
where the best is like the worst
233
00:19:53,234 --> 00:19:55,986
where there are no ten commandments
234
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:59,073
and a man can raise a thirst
235
00:19:59,782 --> 00:20:02,159
for the temple bells are calling
236
00:20:05,579 --> 00:20:08,082
by the old moulmein pagoda
237
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,876
looking lazy at the sea
238
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:14,213
on the road to mandalay
239
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:18,175
where the old flotilla lay
240
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:21,887
with our sick beneath the awnings
241
00:20:23,139 --> 00:20:25,474
when we went to mandalay
242
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:29,228
o' the road to mandalay
243
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:33,149
where the flying-fishes play
244
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:37,111
and the dawn comes up like thunder
245
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:42,074
out of China 'crost the bay
246
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:52,293
What do you think?
247
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:55,087
Very good.
248
00:21:12,938 --> 00:21:15,024
- Lord mountbatten?
- Excuse me.
249
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:16,107
Cecil king.
250
00:21:16,525 --> 00:21:17,985
I hoped to talk to you, sir,
251
00:21:18,068 --> 00:21:21,822
to express my sympathy at the way
you've been treated by the government.
252
00:21:22,031 --> 00:21:25,993
A shameful piece of
political grandstanding and opportunism.
253
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:27,995
You're very kind.
254
00:21:28,078 --> 00:21:30,790
Well, this country
needs great men more than ever
255
00:21:30,873 --> 00:21:33,250
to restore confidence, inspire us,
256
00:21:33,334 --> 00:21:37,004
and perhaps even lead us out of the mire.
257
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:41,050
Well, it's been made very clear to me
that my leadership days are over.
258
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:45,012
Oh, well, my colleagues and I
don't believe that, sir.
259
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:46,764
Not for a minute.
260
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:48,224
As a matter of fact,
261
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:52,478
we'd be delighted if you would have lunch
with us at threadneedle street one day.
262
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:53,561
Bank of england?
263
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:59,026
We've been working on a proposal,
which we'd very much like to put to you.
264
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:04,657
Sir.
265
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:28,806
Your majesty.
266
00:22:28,889 --> 00:22:30,975
Welcome to haras du quesnay.
267
00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:32,810
Thank you, Mr. Head.
268
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:35,646
But there is no need for such formality.
269
00:22:35,729 --> 00:22:38,524
In the world of breeding,
it is you who are king.
270
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,819
You are very kind, ma'am,
and very indulgent.
271
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:44,989
I suspect you are flattering me.
272
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:46,991
- Hello, Alec.
- Henry.
273
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:50,452
Shall we? Good morning.
274
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:56,208
And, of course,
it was malin comme UN singe
275
00:22:56,292 --> 00:22:59,879
who came out of lady danjar,
a magnificent stayer.
276
00:23:01,171 --> 00:23:03,299
And his grandsire, white settler.
277
00:23:03,382 --> 00:23:06,302
Oh, that's right.
We had tremendous success with him.
278
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,679
Yes, I remember him. A wonderful sprinter.
279
00:23:09,263 --> 00:23:11,473
- Are these your stud books?
- Indeed, ma'am.
280
00:23:11,557 --> 00:23:15,436
And I think you will find
some very familiar names in there.
281
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:16,979
Yes, I bet I will.
282
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:19,273
If I'm not mistaken...
283
00:23:20,107 --> 00:23:21,984
- This one.
- Oh, gosh, yes.
284
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:24,445
My grandfather's, one of his favorites.
285
00:23:25,988 --> 00:23:28,908
- What would you say? Six months?
- Yes, I'd say so.
286
00:23:28,991 --> 00:23:32,202
Nice temperament,
warm-blooded, not too skittish.
287
00:23:32,286 --> 00:23:36,206
- Indeed. Look at her hocks.
- Oh, yes.
288
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:38,792
Very well proportioned,
excellent line to the back.
289
00:23:40,836 --> 00:23:41,962
May I?
290
00:23:50,012 --> 00:23:51,639
It was extraordinary.
291
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:55,976
Not just their facilities,
their entire attitude to breeding,
292
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:59,313
but the fact they keep their foals
and their yearlings so close...
293
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:00,396
Merci.
294
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:02,775
While we send ours off
to graze in Ireland.
295
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:07,571
Tell me honestly. Is it over?
296
00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:09,615
Have we slipped too far behind?
297
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:11,283
Not yet, ma'am.
298
00:24:11,367 --> 00:24:13,369
But if you want to keep up,
299
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,913
you do need to act decisively now.
300
00:24:16,538 --> 00:24:21,460
It'd mean rethinking the operation
from top to toe, changing the personnel,
301
00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:22,836
- changing the approach.
- Yes.
302
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,800
And currently there is a drain of the best
British racehorses to america.
303
00:24:27,883 --> 00:24:30,386
But you have to ask yourself, why?
304
00:24:31,929 --> 00:24:33,639
You don't think I should go there too?
305
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,558
Obviously from a racing perspective,
it will be ideal.
306
00:24:37,351 --> 00:24:42,773
Just for a day or two,
but won't you be needed at home?
307
00:24:43,357 --> 00:24:44,858
Well, they've always got mummy.
308
00:24:45,609 --> 00:24:47,194
Me being away is good for her.
309
00:24:47,277 --> 00:24:51,156
She hates feeling old and superannuated
and surplus to requirements.
310
00:24:51,949 --> 00:24:54,451
I'm sure she's relishing
being the big chief again.
311
00:25:10,718 --> 00:25:12,302
- Thank you.
- Sir.
312
00:25:14,555 --> 00:25:16,473
- Mr. King.
- Lord mountbatten.
313
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:22,479
The Great Britain of our childhood
is dying before us.
314
00:25:23,939 --> 00:25:27,276
The country is bankrupt,
our national security is in tatters,
315
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,445
our allies are in despair.
316
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:33,365
And on our current trajectory, by 1970,
317
00:25:33,449 --> 00:25:36,285
we will be a vassal state.
318
00:25:36,368 --> 00:25:37,661
A pariah.
319
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,247
I don't know about you, sir,
320
00:25:40,330 --> 00:25:44,084
but I'd sooner die than stand idly by
and watch this happen.
321
00:25:44,835 --> 00:25:45,878
And to that end,
322
00:25:45,961 --> 00:25:49,006
my associates and I
have come up with a plan
323
00:25:49,089 --> 00:25:51,133
to put the country back on track.
324
00:25:52,593 --> 00:25:53,677
Which is?
325
00:25:55,179 --> 00:25:57,473
Replacing the prime minister
326
00:25:57,931 --> 00:26:01,769
and installing a new emergency government.
327
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:03,729
- What?
- And in his place,
328
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:07,566
we would need to install
an inspirational figurehead.
329
00:26:07,649 --> 00:26:11,403
Someone who could unite the nation,
command its respect.
330
00:26:11,487 --> 00:26:15,657
Someone who had stepped
into a national leadership role before.
331
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:18,118
Now, there are some obvious candidates,
332
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:20,412
but, frankly,
none would be as good as you, sir.
333
00:26:20,496 --> 00:26:22,581
No, no, no, this is quite unthinkable.
334
00:26:23,832 --> 00:26:26,710
At this point, I should close my ears.
335
00:26:29,254 --> 00:26:33,383
Despite my own very profound reservations
regarding our prime minister,
336
00:26:33,467 --> 00:26:36,553
what you're talking about
is effectively a coup.
337
00:26:37,346 --> 00:26:40,140
And I can have nothing whatsoever
to do with it.
338
00:26:40,224 --> 00:26:42,142
In peacetime, it's true,
339
00:26:42,226 --> 00:26:45,979
an intervention like this
would be unconstitutional.
340
00:26:46,814 --> 00:26:50,526
But we believe this is no longer peacetime.
341
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:56,073
And the circumstances
are unprecedented and quite exceptional.
342
00:26:58,283 --> 00:26:59,451
Gerald.
343
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:03,288
In order to hijack control of the economy,
344
00:27:03,372 --> 00:27:07,251
Wilson and his socialist colleagues
have devised a plan,
345
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,378
plan brutus...
346
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:13,423
Which would strip the bank of england
of all its powers,
347
00:27:13,882 --> 00:27:16,802
freeze the sterling balances
of foreign governments,
348
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:21,014
and enforce crash cuts
in defense spending.
349
00:27:21,098 --> 00:27:24,184
The bankers
cannot be allowed to run the show.
350
00:27:24,268 --> 00:27:25,936
The bank of england has known
351
00:27:26,019 --> 00:27:28,856
about gold pouring out of the country
since Monday
352
00:27:28,939 --> 00:27:32,151
- and has done nothing to stop it.
- What is our response?
353
00:27:32,234 --> 00:27:34,611
The imposition of exchange controls,
354
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:37,156
crash cuts in defense expenditure,
355
00:27:37,239 --> 00:27:42,369
and the compulsory acquisition
of all privately held overseas securities.
356
00:27:42,452 --> 00:27:43,745
Show of hands.
357
00:27:47,958 --> 00:27:50,627
It is an effective declaration of war...
358
00:27:52,129 --> 00:27:54,798
On freedom, democracy and capitalism.
359
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,760
We must act now.
360
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:02,014
Not just to save britain, but the world.
361
00:28:02,723 --> 00:28:05,017
We are proposing a radical revolution
362
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,270
led by bankers, businessmen
and the armed forces.
363
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:10,647
Professionals who can save us
from amateurism,
364
00:28:10,731 --> 00:28:13,483
incompetence and Russian infiltration.
365
00:28:14,902 --> 00:28:16,862
And as our interim leader...
366
00:28:17,779 --> 00:28:20,699
We can think of no one
better than you, sir.
367
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:35,839
This is all very interesting.
368
00:28:40,761 --> 00:28:43,055
May I suggest that we meet again...
369
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:46,475
In 48 hours?
370
00:28:49,144 --> 00:28:50,229
Sir.
371
00:28:59,071 --> 00:29:02,908
With the pound down and the rest later,
I suppose that sums it up.
372
00:29:02,991 --> 00:29:06,453
Devaluation and a gigantic loan
that we'll all have to pay back.
373
00:29:06,536 --> 00:29:07,746
Britain now finds itself
374
00:29:07,829 --> 00:29:10,499
looking at a complete reversal
of government policy
375
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,418
after three years
of devaluation and denial.
376
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,171
Wilson must go! Wilson must go!
377
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:19,132
Outside 10 downing street,
protesters gathered
378
00:29:19,216 --> 00:29:21,385
as the reality
of what a devalued pound...
379
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:42,030
Welcome to the commonwealth of Kentucky,
your majesty.
380
00:29:42,114 --> 00:29:44,741
- Thank you, Mr. Hancock.
- Please, call me bull.
381
00:29:45,075 --> 00:29:47,035
Sorry we don't have
better weather for you.
382
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,162
It's quite all right.
We like a good watering.
383
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:50,998
- Bull hancock.
- Pleasure to meet you.
384
00:29:51,081 --> 00:29:54,251
Your shopping basket
will hold less for the same money.
385
00:29:54,334 --> 00:29:57,045
A whole lot of imported foodstuffs
will cost more,
386
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:59,673
around threepence a pound more for beef.
387
00:30:00,674 --> 00:30:02,009
- This the one?
- Excellent.
388
00:30:02,092 --> 00:30:04,303
On Monday, after the announcement,
389
00:30:04,386 --> 00:30:05,721
the stock exchange was empty.
390
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,014
There was no trading.
391
00:30:07,097 --> 00:30:11,184
But outside in throgmorton street,
brokers and jobbers crowded together
392
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:13,353
to try and sort out
what the drop in the pound...
393
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:17,149
Morning, boys.
394
00:30:17,232 --> 00:30:19,693
- Morning, sir.
- Morning, Mr. Hancock.
395
00:30:19,776 --> 00:30:23,113
They're testing for minerals.
Sulfur, calcium.
396
00:30:23,196 --> 00:30:25,198
Correct nutrition is vital, ma'am,
397
00:30:25,282 --> 00:30:27,951
when it comes to the bone strength
and bone formation
398
00:30:28,035 --> 00:30:30,245
- in the foals we're raising.
- Yes, sir.
399
00:30:30,329 --> 00:30:32,456
- Tommy's one of the best.
- Thank you, sir.
400
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:34,875
- Does Tommy ever come to england?
- Oh, no, no, no.
401
00:30:36,626 --> 00:30:40,047
Paris woke up to find
that France was on the brink of civil war.
402
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:43,091
Would the rebel generals in Algeria
send paratroopers?
403
00:30:43,425 --> 00:30:46,178
Defense measures
were quickly put into operation.
404
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:53,101
Orly airport was closed
to flights in and out.
405
00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:55,771
Nobody in the capital
knew the rebels' intentions,
406
00:30:55,854 --> 00:30:58,398
but plastic bomb outrages
here and elsewhere
407
00:30:58,482 --> 00:31:01,568
showed that pro-rebel sympathizers
were on the prowl.
408
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,946
They struck
at the gare de Lyon railway terminus
409
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:06,698
and at the austerlitz station,
410
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:09,076
not with any serious effect, but it was...
411
00:31:09,159 --> 00:31:12,829
These are veterinary students
we've invited to spend time at the farm.
412
00:31:13,455 --> 00:31:16,833
They learn reproductive management,
neonatal and foal management,
413
00:31:16,917 --> 00:31:18,502
herd health management.
414
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:21,421
What we're aiming for is better integration
415
00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:23,382
between our practices here at the stud,
416
00:31:23,465 --> 00:31:27,010
and the clinical research
being conducted in the wider world.
417
00:31:30,347 --> 00:31:34,017
- Remind me of the year.
- 1967. Why?
418
00:31:34,434 --> 00:31:38,063
Because having seen what I've just seen,
one might think it 2067.
419
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,942
In terms of technology,
and their management of the pasture,
420
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:44,694
and their willingness to embrace new ideas,
421
00:31:44,778 --> 00:31:48,407
the Americans aren'tjust on a different
level, they're on a different planet.
422
00:31:48,490 --> 00:31:51,451
And their racing manager,
wasn't he impressive?
423
00:31:51,535 --> 00:31:53,578
When you think about Cecil by comparison...
424
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:56,415
- Yes, he is getting on now.
- Hundred and fifty.
425
00:31:56,498 --> 00:32:01,169
Well, not quite that, but certainly 80.
Dear old Cecil.
426
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:02,504
The Ben-hur of newmarket.
427
00:32:04,339 --> 00:32:06,425
He had such success with your father.
428
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:09,261
And grandfather.
You know he was wounded at the somme?
429
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:13,515
Yes. 80 it's probably time
for someone a little bit younger.
430
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:15,684
The question is, who is there?
431
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:18,854
What about Gordon Richards?
432
00:32:19,271 --> 00:32:21,773
He's with the weinstocks.
They'd never let him go.
433
00:32:22,566 --> 00:32:25,944
Or David McCall?
434
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:28,530
He's good.
435
00:32:29,614 --> 00:32:31,616
But can you honestly see him fitting in?
436
00:32:31,992 --> 00:32:33,785
- No.
- Try that.
437
00:32:46,590 --> 00:32:48,467
Would you ever consider it?
438
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:54,473
You're brilliant,
and you know the family inside out.
439
00:32:56,141 --> 00:32:57,184
Well, I'm honored.
440
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:01,605
But I'm also very ambitious, so...
441
00:33:02,564 --> 00:33:04,900
I could never accept unless I felt sure
442
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:08,195
we had every chance of success
at the highest level.
443
00:33:08,695 --> 00:33:10,947
And in terms of our research,
444
00:33:11,031 --> 00:33:13,909
there's still one thing
that we really need to see.
445
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,411
- What?
- Their training facilities.
446
00:33:17,204 --> 00:33:18,914
If we're going to gain the edge,
447
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:21,208
there's still a lot to learn
from the Americans.
448
00:33:21,958 --> 00:33:23,877
Porchey, how much longer
is that going to take?
449
00:33:25,212 --> 00:33:26,213
Well...
450
00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:32,802
- Do you want to try this?
- Yes, please.
451
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:02,457
Gentlemen.
452
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:07,462
In the past decade alone,
there have, by my reckoning,
453
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:13,176
been 73 coups in 46 different countries
around the world,
454
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:17,013
and the success of some of these
might encourage us.
455
00:34:18,473 --> 00:34:19,933
In Ghana two years ago,
456
00:34:20,016 --> 00:34:23,687
president nkrumah
was ousted with just 500 men.
457
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:27,065
And in 1961 in South Korea,
458
00:34:27,148 --> 00:34:33,196
major general park chung-hee
seized power with 3500 men.
459
00:34:34,614 --> 00:34:37,534
And in 1964 in Gabon,
460
00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:42,831
just 150 men were able
to arrest president m'ba,
461
00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:46,876
and thus gain control
over the levers of state power.
462
00:34:47,544 --> 00:34:49,963
And, of course,
it was with just one legion
463
00:34:50,046 --> 00:34:52,132
that Caesar crossed the rubicon.
464
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:56,720
And perhaps we would not seek
to follow his fate.
465
00:34:57,470 --> 00:34:59,931
Sic semper tyrannis, gentlemen.
466
00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:04,728
And what all successful insurgencies
have in common...
467
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:08,023
Are five key elements.
468
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:11,610
Control of the media,
control of the economy,
469
00:35:11,693 --> 00:35:14,362
the capture of administrative targets,
470
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:18,908
for which you need the fourth element,
the loyalty of the military.
471
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:21,328
Now, in Ghana and Gabon,
472
00:35:21,411 --> 00:35:24,289
this can be achieved
with a handful of battalions,
473
00:35:24,372 --> 00:35:26,916
but here in the United Kingdom...
474
00:35:29,044 --> 00:35:31,338
We would need to secure parliament...
475
00:35:34,174 --> 00:35:36,718
The ministry of defence
and the cabinet office.
476
00:35:37,636 --> 00:35:39,971
The prime minister
will be arrested, of course,
477
00:35:40,055 --> 00:35:42,515
along with other politicians still loyal.
478
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:46,394
We would have to shut down
the airports, air traffic control.
479
00:35:46,478 --> 00:35:48,480
Same with the train stations.
480
00:35:48,563 --> 00:35:52,609
Curfews will be put in place.
Martial law declared.
481
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:55,153
And I haven't even mentioned the police.
482
00:35:56,780 --> 00:36:01,326
It would take tens of thousands
of unquestioningly loyal servicemen,
483
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:05,205
and even in my heyday,
I could never command that.
484
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:08,958
Which brings me to the fifth element.
485
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:11,378
Legitimacy.
486
00:36:12,671 --> 00:36:15,006
Now, our government draws its strength
487
00:36:15,090 --> 00:36:18,426
from long-established institutions
that support it.
488
00:36:18,927 --> 00:36:24,057
The courts, body of common law,
the constitution.
489
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:27,268
For any action against the state
to succeed,
490
00:36:27,352 --> 00:36:29,145
you'd have to overthrow these as well.
491
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:33,858
But in a highly evolved democracy
such as ours,
492
00:36:33,942 --> 00:36:36,403
their authority is sacrosanct.
493
00:36:38,780 --> 00:36:44,202
Which is why, gentlemen,
a coup d'état in the United Kingdom...
494
00:36:45,412 --> 00:36:47,706
Doesn't stand a chance.
495
00:36:54,796 --> 00:36:56,339
Unless...
496
00:36:58,758 --> 00:37:00,468
Unless...?
497
00:37:01,511 --> 00:37:05,265
Unless we had the support
of the one person not yet mentioned.
498
00:37:06,975 --> 00:37:08,351
Do you see the temperament?
499
00:37:10,228 --> 00:37:15,984
The crown has at its disposal
unique constitutional powers
500
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:19,320
which could still make
something like this possible.
501
00:37:20,029 --> 00:37:22,449
In 1834, William iv used them
502
00:37:22,532 --> 00:37:25,994
to dismiss his government
in the face of opposition from the house.
503
00:37:27,162 --> 00:37:30,749
And in 1920,
the emergency powers act was passed,
504
00:37:31,624 --> 00:37:35,211
which gave the sovereign
power in certain circumstances
505
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:38,715
to declare
a state of emergency by proclamation.
506
00:37:38,798 --> 00:37:42,093
Meaning our queen
could dissolve parliament,
507
00:37:42,886 --> 00:37:46,848
and appoint a new government
and a prime minister as well.
508
00:37:47,348 --> 00:37:50,518
She's also commander-in-chief
of the armed forces.
509
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:54,272
They swear allegiance to her
and not to parliament,
510
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:57,525
so could count on their support
to see it through.
511
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,490
She is our Caesar.
512
00:38:09,162 --> 00:38:12,582
And you think
she might entertain this idea?
513
00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:15,335
The circumstances
are certainly compelling.
514
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:19,005
Now, I've made a list here
of exactly how compelling.
515
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:24,427
And as her second cousin,
I am in an ideal position to ask.
516
00:38:34,771 --> 00:38:37,357
- Not hungry?
- No.
517
00:38:41,653 --> 00:38:45,365
Somehow today has managed to be
one of the most enjoyable days of my life.
518
00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:49,828
And at the same time,
one of the most depressing.
519
00:38:53,373 --> 00:38:55,416
Telephone call for you, ma'am.
Lord mountbatten.
520
00:38:55,959 --> 00:38:57,001
I'll call him back.
521
00:39:05,927 --> 00:39:08,596
If I tell you something,
do you promise it will stay between us?
522
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,014
Of course.
523
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:15,353
This is how I'd like to spend all my time.
524
00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:21,401
Owning horses,
breeding horses, racing horses.
525
00:39:21,484 --> 00:39:23,736
It's what makes me truly happy.
526
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:28,658
And I actually think
it's what I was born to do,
527
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:30,910
until the other thing came along...
528
00:39:31,995 --> 00:39:35,665
That someone else was born to do,
that they elected not to do,
529
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:38,084
which meant that first my father,
and then I,
530
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:40,128
had to do a job we were never meant to do.
531
00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:44,632
Well, you've managed to make it look like
532
00:39:44,716 --> 00:39:47,760
the other thing is the only thing
you were ever meant to do.
533
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,848
You're kind.
534
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:53,516
But it isn't.
535
00:40:09,532 --> 00:40:10,950
And on days like today...
536
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:16,456
In places like this,
in company like this...
537
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:20,877
You get a glimpse
of what it all might have been like.
538
00:40:23,463 --> 00:40:24,881
The unlived life...
539
00:40:28,301 --> 00:40:30,595
And how much happier
it might have made me.
540
00:40:38,603 --> 00:40:39,771
Not now!
541
00:40:43,274 --> 00:40:44,567
Oh, dear. Did I just snap?
542
00:40:44,651 --> 00:40:46,569
- Slightly.
- I shall have to grovel now.
543
00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:48,133
No, it's all right. He'll understand.
544
00:40:49,697 --> 00:40:53,076
- I'm so sorry, your majesty.
- Yes, all right, I'm coming.
545
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:54,619
Honestly, only Dickie.
546
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:05,296
Yes, thank you, Martin. I'll talk to him.
547
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:26,567
Your majesty.
548
00:41:32,782 --> 00:41:34,867
You are persistent.
Is it really so important?
549
00:41:37,704 --> 00:41:38,997
Yes, your majesty.
550
00:41:40,623 --> 00:41:42,041
Prime minister.
551
00:41:44,085 --> 00:41:46,671
Ma'am, I have reason to believe
552
00:41:46,754 --> 00:41:51,134
there is currently a full-blown plot
developing against me
553
00:41:51,217 --> 00:41:54,012
and the democratically elected
labour government
554
00:41:54,095 --> 00:41:56,014
that governs in your name...
555
00:41:56,806 --> 00:41:59,934
Being led by a senior
member of your family.
556
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:01,769
Who?
557
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,982
Lord mountbatten.
558
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:09,861
And that he, in cahoots with Cecil king,
559
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:12,030
the chairman
of the mirror group newspapers,
560
00:42:12,113 --> 00:42:15,366
has been attempting
to overthrow this government.
561
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:21,330
Now, [feel compelled
to remind your majesty
562
00:42:21,414 --> 00:42:25,752
that tolerance of the royal family
is hanging by a thread as it is.
563
00:42:28,129 --> 00:42:30,131
And throughout my time in office...
564
00:42:30,882 --> 00:42:33,301
I have done my level best to protect you.
565
00:42:35,428 --> 00:42:37,513
But if members of the royal family
566
00:42:38,097 --> 00:42:41,017
were to interfere with
the political business of the day,
567
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:42,852
I would be left with no option
568
00:42:42,935 --> 00:42:47,315
but to side with the republican elements
of my cabinet,
569
00:42:47,398 --> 00:42:51,027
which I have successfully controlled
until now...
570
00:42:53,696 --> 00:42:55,406
And take steps.
571
00:42:58,493 --> 00:43:01,245
Leave it with me, prime minister.
572
00:43:02,705 --> 00:43:04,540
Your majesty.
573
00:43:59,762 --> 00:44:01,097
Drink up, porchey.
574
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:03,141
We're going home.
575
00:44:43,890 --> 00:44:45,558
Lord mountbatten, your majesty.
576
00:44:56,986 --> 00:44:58,029
Your majesty.
577
00:45:04,202 --> 00:45:05,745
You asked to see me.
578
00:45:07,914 --> 00:45:10,374
Well, great minds think alike.
579
00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:13,002
As it happens,
I was planning to drop by myself...
580
00:45:16,339 --> 00:45:17,924
On a matter of great importance.
581
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,189
I'm getting a feeling
that I've not had since dieppe...
582
00:45:34,357 --> 00:45:36,192
That I'm walking into a trap.
583
00:45:39,278 --> 00:45:41,322
I'd like to think you had
that sinking feeling
584
00:45:41,405 --> 00:45:43,074
on another occasion recently...
585
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:46,244
When going to see your friends
at the bank of england.
586
00:45:48,204 --> 00:45:49,372
Is it even true?
587
00:45:51,082 --> 00:45:54,126
Yes, I did go to lunch
at the bank of england
588
00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:55,670
to meet and listen to people
589
00:45:55,753 --> 00:45:58,881
who are horrified
by what's happening to the country.
590
00:45:59,924 --> 00:46:01,968
A horror I hope you share.
591
00:46:02,051 --> 00:46:03,094
Perhaps.
592
00:46:03,803 --> 00:46:06,305
But conspiring with them
is not the solution.
593
00:46:06,389 --> 00:46:08,349
It is the beginning of a solution.
594
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:14,814
Why are you doing this?
Why would you protect a man like Wilson?
595
00:46:24,198 --> 00:46:26,909
I am protecting the prime minister.
596
00:46:28,035 --> 00:46:30,121
I am protecting the constitution.
597
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:33,958
I am protecting democracy.
598
00:46:35,543 --> 00:46:39,171
But if the man at the heart
of that democracy threatens to destroy it,
599
00:46:39,255 --> 00:46:41,549
are we supposed to just stand by
and do nothing?
600
00:46:43,467 --> 00:46:47,471
Doing nothing is exactly what we do,
and bide our time,
601
00:46:47,555 --> 00:46:50,766
and wait for the people that voted him in
to vote him out again,
602
00:46:50,850 --> 00:46:54,020
if indeed that is what they decide to do.
603
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,375
I'm sure you find it near impossible
to do nothing...
604
00:47:17,293 --> 00:47:20,796
And to not have the role and
the responsibilities you've always had.
605
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:24,633
You were born to be busy and to lead.
606
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:28,763
But you still have
a huge role to play in this family.
607
00:47:30,348 --> 00:47:32,433
A father figure to my husband.
608
00:47:33,392 --> 00:47:35,478
An uncle and a guide to me.
609
00:47:36,437 --> 00:47:41,484
A king to make in Charles,
not to mention a brother to your sister.
610
00:47:43,110 --> 00:47:45,363
When was the last time
you even visited her?
611
00:47:45,988 --> 00:47:47,114
Cheered her up?
612
00:47:54,330 --> 00:47:56,499
That would be a greater
service to the crown
613
00:47:56,582 --> 00:47:59,752
than leading unconstitutional coups.
614
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:08,904
Nice of you to find the time.
615
00:49:09,572 --> 00:49:12,575
These days, I've nothing but time.
616
00:49:14,118 --> 00:49:16,036
And too little time.
617
00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:29,884
The four of us.
618
00:49:29,967 --> 00:49:32,553
- What?
- The four of us.
619
00:49:35,931 --> 00:49:37,266
Look at us now.
620
00:49:38,601 --> 00:49:40,102
Only two left.
621
00:49:40,561 --> 00:49:43,814
You're left, not me.
622
00:49:43,898 --> 00:49:45,065
I'm on the way out.
623
00:49:45,399 --> 00:49:46,650
Nonsense.
624
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:52,448
There came a moment
around the time I turned 70...
625
00:49:53,574 --> 00:49:57,912
When it dawned on me
that I was no longer a participant,
626
00:49:57,995 --> 00:50:00,331
rather a spectator.
627
00:50:01,123 --> 00:50:03,292
I've discovered that for myself.
628
00:50:03,375 --> 00:50:06,629
Then it's just a matter of waiting
629
00:50:07,379 --> 00:50:10,549
and not getting in the way.
630
00:50:20,226 --> 00:50:23,187
I hear you have been getting in the way.
631
00:50:24,188 --> 00:50:25,523
Who told you that?
632
00:50:25,606 --> 00:50:29,318
There are no secrets in this place!
633
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:34,323
Did you get a dressing down
from our doughty queen?
634
00:50:35,491 --> 00:50:37,618
Yes, I did.
635
00:50:39,245 --> 00:50:40,412
Oh, what's so funny?
636
00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:42,581
Well, that's funny.
637
00:50:43,666 --> 00:50:48,045
The little girl admonishing
the grand old admiral of the fleet.
638
00:50:48,128 --> 00:50:49,964
Well, I'm glad it amuses you.
639
00:50:50,923 --> 00:50:53,342
Because the situation
this country is facing
640
00:50:53,425 --> 00:50:55,511
is anything but amusing.
641
00:51:00,307 --> 00:51:03,852
Who cares? Honestly.
642
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,734
One of the few joys
of being as old as we both are...
643
00:51:11,402 --> 00:51:13,696
Is that it's not our problem.
644
00:51:14,780 --> 00:51:16,907
It's not really our country either.
645
00:51:16,991 --> 00:51:18,784
What are you talking about?
646
00:51:18,867 --> 00:51:20,744
Of course it's our country.
647
00:51:20,828 --> 00:51:24,790
We battenbergs have no country.
648
00:51:26,166 --> 00:51:30,004
Our family might have
kings and queens in its ranks,
649
00:51:30,671 --> 00:51:33,257
but we're mongrels too.
650
00:51:34,842 --> 00:51:38,971
Part-German, part-Greek,
part-nowhere at all.
651
00:51:40,681 --> 00:51:44,101
Well, this is my country.
652
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,106
It gave me a home, it gave me a name...
653
00:51:51,275 --> 00:51:53,694
And in return, I've given it my life.
654
00:51:59,950 --> 00:52:02,119
And to see it like this breaks my heart.
655
00:52:39,698 --> 00:52:40,741
You must sleep.
656
00:52:44,036 --> 00:52:45,079
Sister.
657
00:52:56,298 --> 00:53:00,636
Princess Alice of nowhere at all.
658
00:54:30,225 --> 00:54:33,854
- Don't sound so surprised.
- I am. It's been so long.
659
00:54:38,150 --> 00:54:41,737
So how was France and america?
660
00:54:42,696 --> 00:54:43,781
Educafional
661
00:54:46,283 --> 00:54:49,077
the trip was supposed to be a week.
You were gone almost a month.
662
00:54:51,955 --> 00:54:52,955
With porchey?
663
00:54:57,419 --> 00:54:58,754
Was that fun?
664
00:55:00,881 --> 00:55:04,843
We went on racing business.
It was a fact-finding expedition.
665
00:55:05,552 --> 00:55:06,552
Right.
666
00:55:07,971 --> 00:55:09,890
If you have something to say, say it now.
667
00:55:09,973 --> 00:55:11,975
Otherwise, if you don't mind, I'm busy.
668
00:55:12,059 --> 00:55:14,603
I've heard you've appointed him
as your racing manager.
669
00:55:14,686 --> 00:55:17,105
- I have.
- Which means he'll be around all the time.
670
00:55:17,189 --> 00:55:18,232
Yes, with any luck.
671
00:55:19,525 --> 00:55:21,944
- Good for you.
- Good for all of us.
672
00:56:03,610 --> 00:56:05,195
I heard about Dickie.
673
00:56:06,655 --> 00:56:08,782
- A coup.
- Yes. Can you believe it?
674
00:56:11,493 --> 00:56:13,453
It must be hard getting old.
675
00:56:34,057 --> 00:56:35,100
I'll be up in a minute.
676
00:56:37,185 --> 00:56:38,185
Oh, will you?
677
00:56:38,896 --> 00:56:40,147
Yes, I thought so.
678
00:56:41,398 --> 00:56:42,983
Unless you'd rather I wasn't.
679
00:56:45,319 --> 00:56:46,904
I'll see you in a minute.
