Ask my daughters to come and see me.

00:00:34,452 --> 00:00:35,704
Yes, ma'am.

QUEEN MOTHER: Girls, it's too soon.
5
00:00:43,586 --> 00:00:44,796
I can't do it.
6
00:00:45,922 --> 00:00:46,965
I'm not strong enough.
7
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,967
MARGARET: That's why you have
two grown-up daughters
8
00:00:49,134 --> 00:00:50,885
to step in for you in situations like this.
9
00:00:50,969 --> 00:00:52,512
I'll do it.
10
00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:55,140
Thank you, but that makes no sense.
11
00:00:57,726 --> 00:01:00,520
The speech is for Papa about Papa.
I would like to do it.
12
00:01:01,438 --> 00:01:02,939
It's right I do it.
13
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:05,608
MARGARET: You don't enjoy
public speaking, whereas I do.
14
00:01:06,192 --> 00:01:08,695
- And I was Papa...
- What?
15
00:01:09,654 --> 00:01:10,780
Favourite?
16
00:01:12,407 --> 00:01:16,077
- MARGARET: Well, are you going to deny it?
- Your father didn't have a favourite.
17
00:01:16,911 --> 00:01:18,121
He adored you both.
18
00:01:18,747 --> 00:01:20,165
Did so equally.
19
00:01:20,999 --> 00:01:22,917
As any good father would.
20
00:01:24,002 --> 00:01:27,088
Mummy, you decide, then,
as head of the family.
21
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:29,424
But she's not head of the family.
22
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:31,676
I am.
23
00:01:33,011 --> 00:01:34,304
And I will make the speech.

"I should be called to take his place.

(WHIRRING)
40
00:04:59,217 --> 00:05:01,678
MAN: We have been flagging our concern
for some time.
41
00:05:01,803 --> 00:05:06,599
These latest events, internationally,
merely strengthen our view.
42
00:05:07,809 --> 00:05:10,353
But sending the Queen
on this forthcoming tour,
43
00:05:10,436 --> 00:05:11,938
in the current climate,
44
00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:15,984
would be to put the Sovereign in
an unacceptable level of danger.
45
00:05:16,067 --> 00:05:19,570
What is it you would have the Queen do?
Stay at home
46
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,659
in the wake of minor incidents
prosecuted by an insurgent rabble?
47
00:05:24,909 --> 00:05:30,164
What kind of signal would that send?
The Crown does not back down.
48
00:05:30,957 --> 00:05:33,418
If Britain had made a habit of backing down,
49
00:05:33,543 --> 00:05:37,422
the world would already be
living under the yoke of fascist tyranny,
50
00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,257
and we wouldn't have an empire at all.
51
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:43,553
Then might I suggest
we bypass Gibraltar altogether?
52
00:05:44,470 --> 00:05:46,889
MICHAEL: It's an approach
which I would favour, too.
53
00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:49,934
She's not ready for something on this scale.
54
00:05:50,018 --> 00:05:51,394
She's not yet up to it.
55
00:05:51,686 --> 00:05:55,273
Especially with so many of our dominions
demanding independence.
56
00:05:56,691 --> 00:05:59,777
We must be considerate of her.
57
00:05:59,861 --> 00:06:02,697
- Patronise her.
- No, that's not what I'm saying, sir.
58
00:06:03,197 --> 00:06:04,198
Yes, it is.

HARTNELL: Bermuda, Jamaica, Australia,
Ceylon, Uganda.
61
00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,374
It's going to be hot, Your Majesty.
62
00:06:13,541 --> 00:06:16,711
To that end, we've been working
a great deal with organza,
63
00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:19,213
crepe de Chine and shantung silk.
64
00:06:19,797 --> 00:06:22,967
We also wanted to feature
something particular to each location,
65
00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:27,513
so we thought sprigs of native wildflowers
66
00:06:27,847 --> 00:06:30,391
indigenous to each country
that you're visiting.
67
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,895
So, on Her Majesty's arrival in Sydney,
68
00:06:33,978 --> 00:06:38,274
we propose a white organza dress
scattered with pale yellow wattle blossom.
69
00:06:39,442 --> 00:06:40,943
How many dresses are there?
70
00:06:41,027 --> 00:06:43,654
- One hundred.
- One hundred.
71
00:06:44,572 --> 00:06:46,115
- And hats?
- Thirty-six.
72
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:47,950
- Pairs of shoes?
- Fifty.
73
00:06:49,994 --> 00:06:53,372
Isn't this all a bit much?
Couldn't we try to economise?
74
00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:57,168
It is.
It was a directive from the government itself,
75
00:06:57,293 --> 00:06:59,170
from the very top of the government.
76
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:02,715
To put our best foot forward
for Great Britain.
77
00:07:02,882 --> 00:07:04,425
Our very best foot.
78
00:07:11,682 --> 00:07:14,435
It is an absurd pantomime, the whole thing.
79
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,062
I don't know why anyone can't see beyond it.
80
00:07:16,145 --> 00:07:19,315
PARKER: I don't know. Actually, I thought
the old ostrich feathers rather suited you.
81
00:07:19,398 --> 00:07:22,151
- You should wear those more often.
- MAN: Up straight, please.
82
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:25,446
Twenty years ago,
Britain had influence and control
83
00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:27,156
over one-fifth of the world's population.
84
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,200
You look where we are now in India,
85
00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,328
Pakistan, South Africa,
86
00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:35,623
Iraq, Jordan, Burma, Ceylon.
87
00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:37,875
All independent.
88
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:41,546
But nobody wants to face it or deal with it,
89
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:45,216
so they send us out
on the Commonwealth roadshow.
90
00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:49,053
Like giving a lick of paint
to a rusty old banger
91
00:07:49,137 --> 00:07:53,224
to make everyone think it's all still fine,
but it's not.
92
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:56,978
The rust has eaten away
at the engine and the structure.
93
00:07:58,229 --> 00:08:00,481
The banger is falling apart.
94
00:08:01,941 --> 00:08:03,776
But no one wants to see it.
95
00:08:05,236 --> 00:08:07,113
That's our job, that's who we are.
96
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:09,991
A coat of paint.
97
00:08:12,118 --> 00:08:14,662
If the costumes are grand enough,
98
00:08:15,413 --> 00:08:17,206
if the tiara's sparkly enough,
99
00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:20,877
if the titles are preposterous enough,
100
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,422
the mythology incomprehensible enough,
then all must still be fine.
101
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:26,591
- Are we nearly finished yet?
- Not quite, sir.
102
00:08:26,674 --> 00:08:29,135
Four hours we've been here already
for a costume fitting.

00:08:29,302 --> 00:08:32,305
MAN: Uniform, sir, not costume.
104
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:36,601
PHILIP: You wear uniforms to battle.
This is a costume fitting.
105
00:08:41,606 --> 00:08:43,441
TOMMY: It's just a formality, Your Majesty,
106
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:46,861
confirming your temporary assumption
of duties as Counsellor of State
107
00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:49,405
while Her Majesty is abroad.
108
00:08:49,572 --> 00:08:52,575
You are so kind to still look after me
from your retirement.
109
00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:56,287
How much is still in the diary?
110
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,875
Well, I went through it with Major Adeane,
111
00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:03,419
and we tried to throw out
as much as we could,
112
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:06,464
but there will still be the usual
Privy Council meetings of course,
113
00:09:06,797 --> 00:09:10,009
some investitures and military inspections.
114
00:09:10,176 --> 00:09:12,136
Couldn't we give some of it
to Princess Margaret?
115
00:09:12,887 --> 00:09:15,556
I'm just thinking
she's had a tough time of it lately.
116
00:09:15,723 --> 00:09:18,309
Being allowed to shine a bit
might be good for her.
117
00:09:19,852 --> 00:09:21,479
Get her back on track.
118
00:09:27,068 --> 00:09:30,196
Besides, I had rather hoped
to disappear up to Scotland for a while.
119
00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:33,366
And Margaret could deputise for me.

- Nothing!

They can't keep you there
and give you nothing to do.
124
00:09:47,838 --> 00:09:50,216
I beg to differ. Nothing is all I do.
125
00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:53,886
Are you at least alone in the office?

00:09:54,178 --> 00:09:57,265
Oh, no, Sergeant Hewitt is here.
He's just walked in.
127

- Is that the point of Sergeant Hewitt?
- It is the only point.

- Well, call me if you need anything.
- Yes.

You won't, of course.

Up in Caithness at the Northern Gate.

Dunnett Head.

Goodness. That's the end of the Earth.

Yes. A chance to really get away from it all.

Can't have people
turning up for knighthoods

- Well, if you think she's up to it.
- Up to what?

Standing still, looking pretty and putting
a sword on a few people's shoulders?
168

- And presumably making speeches?
- Which will be written for her.

And turning up on time.
170

who will get her where she needs to be.

for just one moment?
174
00:12:31,377 --> 00:12:34,255
- Please.
- You need to give Margaret some room.
175
00:12:34,922 --> 00:12:38,050
Some space in which to shine.
She needs to shine, that one.
176
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:41,512
And, as elder sister,
177
00:12:41,971 --> 00:12:44,890
you ought to be confident
and generous enough to respect that.
178
00:12:45,516 --> 00:12:46,600
I am.
179
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:49,728
Are you?
180
00:13:07,705 --> 00:13:09,290
(CLEARS THROAT)
181
00:13:11,083 --> 00:13:12,418
On your knees.
182
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:14,920
- Is that absolutely necessary?
- Of course!
183
00:13:15,004 --> 00:13:17,381
I want to be sure I know what I'm doing
before you go.
184
00:13:19,049 --> 00:13:20,301
All right.
185
00:13:22,428 --> 00:13:23,846
I hope you have a steady hand.
186
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:26,724
You seem uncharacteristically jumpy.
187
00:13:27,183 --> 00:13:28,559
Guilty conscience, perhaps?
188
00:13:30,603 --> 00:13:33,564
- Why should I have a guilty conscience?
- Have a think.
189
00:13:35,232 --> 00:13:36,859
If you mean Peter and his posting...
190
00:13:36,942 --> 00:13:38,235
Banishment.
191
00:13:38,319 --> 00:13:39,445
...that wasn't my doing.
192
00:13:39,528 --> 00:13:41,405
I was simply acting
on the government's advice.
193
00:13:41,489 --> 00:13:43,115
The idea came from your henchman,
Tommy Lascelles.
194
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,326
- Now, that's a little firm.
- Was it?
195
00:13:45,451 --> 00:13:48,287
- Yes. And it's the flat edge, remember?
- Oh...
196
00:13:48,662 --> 00:13:49,705
Sorry.
197
00:13:50,331 --> 00:13:53,751
- So, how is he?
- Peter? He's getting on with it.
198
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:56,629
Uncomplainingly.
199
00:13:56,712 --> 00:13:58,506
Because that's what strong men do.
200
00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:02,176
But it's a lonely existence in Brussels.
201
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:06,388
No real job, stuck in a small flat,
followed by photographers,
202
00:14:06,472 --> 00:14:10,351
and to steer clear of all the parties,
steer clear of all the traps.
203
00:14:10,434 --> 00:14:12,937
- What traps?
- The traps being set for him.
204
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:15,689
Those who would wish to lead him astray.
205
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:18,275
Catch him in a compromising position.
206
00:14:18,984 --> 00:14:21,111
Those who would cheer
the dissolution of our friendship.
207
00:14:21,195 --> 00:14:23,697
- Margaret, you're imagining things.
- Am I?
208
00:14:24,448 --> 00:14:27,284
Yes. And anyway, it's not for much longer.
209
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:28,452
Two years?
210
00:14:29,203 --> 00:14:30,788
Yes, but the first three or four months
will fly by
211
00:14:30,913 --> 00:14:33,541
while you're kindly filling in for me.
212
00:14:33,624 --> 00:14:36,377
- I'll try not to upstage you.
- How kind.
213
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:38,796
I can't promise
I won't bring my own character to it.
214
00:14:38,921 --> 00:14:40,506
Well, I never expected anything less.
215
00:14:40,798 --> 00:14:42,716
That's the advantage
having a character to bring.
216
00:14:43,801 --> 00:14:47,388
Too much character, an excess of character.
217
00:14:48,264 --> 00:14:51,850
Now, look at me and tell me
you didn't say that without a little bit of envy.
218
00:14:53,811 --> 00:14:56,855
Just remember
who you're standing in for when I'm gone.
219
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:58,732
My characterless sister.
220
00:14:59,984 --> 00:15:01,277
Your Queen.
221
00:15:01,819 --> 00:15:02,861

00:15:26,844 --> 00:15:30,014
An enormous crowd gathered here
on a particularly lovely night.
226
00:15:56,915 --> 00:15:59,627
WINSTON: The last time
you departed on this tour,
227
00:16:00,044 --> 00:16:03,714
it was cruelly cut short
by the death of your dear father.
228
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,968
In his final months,
the King told me many times
229
00:16:08,052 --> 00:16:11,513
that he could feel it all slipping away.
230
00:16:11,597 --> 00:16:14,933
The empire, our place in the world.
231
00:16:15,809 --> 00:16:20,272
He saw this tour as a chance
to keep each dominion close,
232
00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:22,566
preserving that empire.
233
00:16:23,567 --> 00:16:26,612
So, take him with you in spirit. Let his...
234
00:16:29,573 --> 00:16:34,328
Let his example guide you,
his thoughts influence you.
235
00:16:35,954 --> 00:16:38,957
- I will.
- And if I may...
236
00:16:40,793 --> 00:16:45,130
Never let them see
the real Elizabeth Windsor.
237
00:16:47,007 --> 00:16:49,968
The cameras, the television.
238
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:56,266
Never let them see
that carrying the Crown is often a burden.
239
00:16:57,768 --> 00:16:59,353
Let them look at you,
240

- Certainly not.
248
00:18:30,027 --> 00:18:33,572
I've been sitting for hours.
I want a nice, long walk.
249
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:36,033
Or, better still, a ride.
250
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:53,175
Go on. Go get him.

Ah, Scotland, the beauty.

I'd almost forgotten what it feels like
to have the spirits lifted.
253

Well, you're welcome to stay any time
to get away from it all.

(ALL LAUGH)
256

Or you could become a neighbour.
257
00:19:30,170 --> 00:19:31,588
There's a castle along the coast for sale.
258
00:19:32,923 --> 00:19:35,801
They're threatening to tear it down.
The owner can't afford to keep it up.

261
00:19:41,265 --> 00:19:44,935
he sings to the seals
that swim past the castle.

Has it been very difficult?
265
00:19:58,657 --> 00:19:59,867
It has.
266
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:03,078
I don't want to sound self-piteous,
267
00:20:03,787 --> 00:20:06,290
but loss has followed loss.
268
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:08,792
First and foremost, the loss of a husband.
269
00:20:10,002 --> 00:20:11,503
Then the loss of a home,
270
00:20:12,713 --> 00:20:14,548
having to leave the palace.
271
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,845
The loss of motherhood
as daughters become adults.
272
00:20:21,889 --> 00:20:24,516
Loss of a routine, a sense of purpose.
273
00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:26,768
The loss of the Crown.
274
00:20:28,478 --> 00:20:33,692
Imagine 17 years' experience as Queen,
of being the head of the family.
275
00:20:34,318 --> 00:20:38,739
Bertie was a wonderful husband and father,
but he needed a great deal of help as King.
276
00:20:39,114 --> 00:20:40,949
And then we lose him,
277
00:20:41,783 --> 00:20:44,703
and at precisely the moment
when they should be giving me more to do,
278
00:20:45,162 --> 00:20:48,290
stop me falling into despair,
they take it all away.
279
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:55,005
They take it all away.
280
00:20:58,717 --> 00:21:03,513
They put it all into the hands of a girl
who's totally unequipped for it.

(KNOCKING, DOOR OPENS)
343
00:25:01,126 --> 00:25:03,128
- Come in, Martin.
- Your Royal Highness.
344
00:25:04,838 --> 00:25:07,132
The speech for
the ambassadors' reception tonight.
345
00:25:07,257 --> 00:25:08,842
Yes, ma'am?
346
00:25:08,925 --> 00:25:11,761
This was written for my sister.
Very well written.
347
00:25:11,845 --> 00:25:14,055
- Thank you.
- Manifestly for her.
348
00:25:14,139 --> 00:25:18,268
In her register, reflecting her character,
if that's the right word.
349
00:25:18,894 --> 00:25:21,438
As we both know,
I have a different character.
350
00:25:21,521 --> 00:25:22,564
Indeed.
351
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:25,692
And since I shall be deputising
for my sister tonight,
352
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:30,614
I was wondering if I might make
one or two minor adjustments to the text?
353
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:33,533
- Ma'am?
- Give it a bit more colour.
354
00:25:33,617 --> 00:25:38,038
Make it feel a bit more like me
and breathe a little life into it.
355
00:25:38,288 --> 00:25:39,956
I'm sure Her Royal Highness appreciates it.
356
00:25:41,791 --> 00:25:42,792
(EXHALES)
357
00:25:42,918 --> 00:25:47,505
There'll be important people
at the reception tonight.
358
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:51,301
Different backgrounds,
different sensibilities.
359
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:56,598
The speech has been carefully calibrated
to avoid giving offence.
360
00:25:56,932 --> 00:25:59,142
And I'd suggest to avoid entertaining, too.
361
00:25:59,267 --> 00:26:02,145
It's not the Sovereign's place to entertain.
362
00:26:03,271 --> 00:26:05,982
- And I'm not the Sovereign.
- I understand that,
363
00:26:06,858 --> 00:26:08,443
but you will be there in her place.
364
00:26:14,324 --> 00:26:17,244
(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK)
365
00:26:20,163 --> 00:26:24,042
What about the State Diadem tiara?
Or the Cambridge Lover's Knot?
366
00:26:24,334 --> 00:26:27,003
Those are Her Majesty's
and for state occasions.
367
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:29,047
Her Majesty won't mind.
368
00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:33,301
Besides, are people not coming tonight
expecting to meet a queen?
369
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:36,596
- Yes.
- Shouldn't we be giving them one?
370

(CHATTER DIES DOWN)
372
00:27:11,715 --> 00:27:13,508
Your Excellencies,
373
00:27:14,884 --> 00:27:18,888
I am delighted to be here tonight,
deputising for my sister, the Queen,
374
00:27:19,431 --> 00:27:21,683
who is fortunate enough to be on her travels,
375
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,437
somewhere between Bermuda,
Jamaica and Fiji.
376
00:27:26,354 --> 00:27:28,440
Distracted, no doubt,
377
00:27:29,607 --> 00:27:33,445
by waving fields of sugar cane
and graceful palms,
378
00:27:34,779 --> 00:27:38,283
by deep blue water
beyond white coral sands,
379
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:42,871
by dramatic green hills,
thick with vegetation,
380
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:46,124
and the subtle rhythms
of dancing and singing.
381
00:27:47,751 --> 00:27:51,755
But more vivid, more brilliant even,
382
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:56,217
than the colours of those lovely islands
or the echoes of that music
383
00:27:56,301 --> 00:27:59,387
or the welcome
of cheerful and friendly people,
384
00:27:59,471 --> 00:28:01,598
wherever my sister may travel,
385
00:28:01,806 --> 00:28:05,060
is what I see as I look out
from this stage tonight.

00:28:07,771 --> 00:28:10,273
As I look out at all of you tonight,
388
00:28:10,607 --> 00:28:13,610
my, don't you all look wonderful.
389
00:28:14,819 --> 00:28:16,279
And shimmering.
390
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,907
And positively exotic.
391

00:28:20,408 --> 00:28:23,495
And what fine company
we have here tonight!

Our ambassador
to the United States of America,
394
00:28:26,206 --> 00:28:27,749
Sir Roger Makins.
395
00:28:27,832 --> 00:28:29,834
The only honest thing
to come out of Washington.
396
00:28:32,796 --> 00:28:37,050
Our dashing ambassador
Alec Kirkbride in Libya.
397
00:28:37,509 --> 00:28:39,552
This one's single, ladies.
398
00:28:41,429 --> 00:28:43,306
And of course Sir Charles Peake
and his wife from Greece.
399

which has brought us many things.

00:28:55,610 --> 00:28:58,321
So, to all of you I say welcome!
403
00:28:58,905 --> 00:29:03,243
As a rule, the food here is pretty ordinary,
the wine is usually rather good.
404
00:29:03,493 --> 00:29:06,329
And I have made sure there is plenty of it.
405
00:29:07,789 --> 00:29:11,459
So, I have no doubt
we will have a wonderful evening.
406
00:29:13,211 --> 00:29:14,546

(OVER PHONE) It felt so good.
410
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,729
My sister talks all the time
of how she isn't suited to it, well,
411
00:29:32,522 --> 00:29:34,607
- I was born for it. (CHUCKLES)
- I know.
412
00:29:35,608 --> 00:29:37,026
Afterwards, I told them
413
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:39,779
to put as many engagements in the diary
as they like for the next few months.
414

Well, why not?

00:29:43,533 --> 00:29:45,785
Couldn't you come watch me in action?
417
00:29:46,202 --> 00:29:47,287
Just once.
418
00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:49,122
If I thought it were without risk,
I would in a flash,
419
00:29:49,205 --> 00:29:50,915
but if the papers get hold of it...
420
00:29:51,166 --> 00:29:53,042
Darling, papers love us.
421
00:29:53,209 --> 00:29:54,502
The people are for us.
422
00:29:54,711 --> 00:29:55,712
Hmm.
423

there's a civic hall to visit.

Not to mention the ribbons to be cut.
And the lunches to be consumed.
426
00:30:10,059 --> 00:30:13,229
- Ready?
- No. Almost. You go ahead.
427
00:30:17,650 --> 00:30:20,695
Just give me a moment, please, gents.
I'll be right with you. Okay? Thank you.

What's the matter?

There was an ambassadors' reception
in London last week.
431
00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:38,296
Apparently, Margaret was dazzling
and brilliant.
432
00:30:39,130 --> 00:30:41,090
Would you have preferred
she make a mess of it?
433
00:30:41,966 --> 00:30:43,176
No.
434
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:47,055
Perhaps.
435
00:30:48,097 --> 00:30:49,974
- Is that awful of me?
- Yes.
436
00:30:50,141 --> 00:30:52,393
Well, now you know,
you didn't marry a saint.
437
00:30:52,477 --> 00:30:55,355
I knew that.
But I wouldn't worry, I have great faith in her.
438
00:30:55,522 --> 00:30:57,982
- In Margaret?
- In her ability to mess things up.
439
00:30:58,233 --> 00:31:01,361
- In the long run.
- Or outshine me.
440
00:31:01,444 --> 00:31:03,780
- And mess things up.
- And outshine me.
441
00:31:14,123 --> 00:31:15,792
That's unlike you.
442
00:31:17,460 --> 00:31:18,795
I'm sorry.
443
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:27,136
You know, there is a danger
we might be overdoing it.
444
00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:31,140
Perhaps it would be prudent
445
00:31:31,641 --> 00:31:33,226
to take a few things out.
446
00:31:33,977 --> 00:31:37,730
I mean, 57 Australian towns in 58 days.
447
00:31:38,648 --> 00:31:40,984
Maybe we don't visit all of them.

and the streets are already packed.

- Well, how long will it take?
- I've allowed two hours.
455
00:32:10,430 --> 00:32:12,974
Two hours? In 100-degree heat?
456
00:32:13,099 --> 00:32:16,227
I could ask them to increase
the planned driving speed a little.
457
00:32:16,436 --> 00:32:20,023
- But I think the horses might struggle.
- No, we'll be fine. Thank you.

- I don't think so.
- Yes, yes.

in the property,

I'm going to be entirely honest.
483
00:35:02,769 --> 00:35:07,565
The roof does need a bit of work.
484
00:35:08,191 --> 00:35:10,485
One or two windows might need replacing,
485
00:35:10,568 --> 00:35:14,781
and the electricity does need, well, installing.
486
00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:18,785
And there's no dining room to speak of,
nor bathrooms.

Oh, dear. You're really not a salesman.

- No.
- A singer, then.

(CHUCKLES) No.
496
00:35:47,980 --> 00:35:50,358
It's on the tip of my tongue.
497
00:35:54,946 --> 00:35:56,572
It dates back
498
00:35:56,781 --> 00:35:59,867
to the mid-17th century.
499
00:36:00,076 --> 00:36:04,372
It was in the same family for 14 generations.
500
00:36:04,705 --> 00:36:07,166
We bought the place in 1929,
501
00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:09,627
and my wife and I
had 11 very happy years here.

The solution is obvious.

- Stop smiling.
- No.
505
00:36:22,723 --> 00:36:25,643
The trouble is I have the sort of face
that, if I'm not smiling,
506
00:36:25,726 --> 00:36:27,687
then everyone says, "Isn't she cross?"
507
00:36:27,854 --> 00:36:31,774
No, that's not...
Look, what do you think, Doctor?
508
00:36:32,233 --> 00:36:35,528
It's a spasm. The muscles are overworked.
509
00:36:35,862 --> 00:36:37,113
Rest ought to fix it, though.
510
00:36:37,446 --> 00:36:39,740
- Like I said. Stop smiling.
- No.
511
00:36:40,366 --> 00:36:43,369
I have an engagement this evening.
So, what can be done?
512
00:36:43,911 --> 00:36:48,124
Well, I could inject
the affected area with a relaxant.

You'd have to watch yourself
with soup, though.

You might find you have less control
chewing and drinking.

out from under the bedclothes.

Her visit to the coalface

which is recognised as one of
the most modern in Europe.

their working life down there.

It's intolerably dark and hot and cramped.

are still very perilous

What concerns?
665
00:47:45,072 --> 00:47:49,535
Death threats were sent to all the leaders
of the major political parties,
666

telling them that,
if our tour were to go to Gibraltar,
667

00:48:59,146 --> 00:49:02,691
Visible on deck, Her Majesty the Queen,
and the Duke of Edinburgh.
683
00:49:02,774 --> 00:49:04,651
Accompanying Britannia,
684
00:49:04,818 --> 00:49:09,114
15 A-class destroyers
from the Mediterranean fleet.
685
00:49:09,364 --> 00:49:11,908
- (GUNS FIRING)
- They're shooting with a 21-gun salute.
686
00:49:13,201 --> 00:49:15,787
- (CROWD CHEERING)
- A powerful signal to the people of Gibraltar
687
00:49:15,871 --> 00:49:19,041
of the Queen and the British Empire's
enduring support.
688
00:49:43,774 --> 00:49:49,237
...magnificent tour has already marked
Her Majesty as a woman of destiny.
689
00:49:52,074 --> 00:49:57,079
Her return to London after 50,000 miles
by air, land and sea
690
00:49:57,162 --> 00:50:01,667
is a triumph of diplomacy
at a challenging time for the empire.
691
00:50:03,085 --> 00:50:07,255
Not a single item of the enormous list
of engagements has been missed.
692
00:50:09,383 --> 00:50:11,760
Millions have seen and greeted their Queen
693
00:50:11,843 --> 00:50:14,596
as she leaves the Commonwealth
charmed and united.
694
00:50:18,684 --> 00:50:21,853
It is already clear
that Her Majesty will occupy a place
695
00:50:21,937 --> 00:50:24,940
among the famous queens of history
696
00:50:25,023 --> 00:50:29,111
and promises a renewed role for Britain
in the modern world.
697
00:50:30,862 --> 00:50:34,741
The empire secure
across the four corners of the Earth,
698
00:50:34,825 --> 00:50:38,370
marking the start of a new Elizabethan Age.
699
00:50:50,173 --> 00:50:51,591
- Hello.
- Your Majesty.

00:50:53,969 --> 00:50:56,638
- (CHILDREN LAUGHING)
- (DOGS BARKING)
701
00:50:56,722 --> 00:50:58,348
Ah-ha!
702
00:50:58,432 --> 00:50:59,683
Yes!
703
00:51:02,853 --> 00:51:04,521
- MICHAEL: Ma'am.
- (DOGS WHINING)
704
00:51:04,604 --> 00:51:06,481
- The Prime Minister's arrived.
- PHILIP: One, two, three, go!
705
00:51:06,565 --> 00:51:08,066
- Thank you.
- PHILIP: I'm fast.
706
00:51:08,150 --> 00:51:10,861
- Daddy! I'm going to get you.
- No, no, no! Not the chair! Not the chair!
707
00:51:10,986 --> 00:51:12,863
- (CHILDREN LAUGH)
- PHILIP: Mind the dogs!
708
00:51:12,946 --> 00:51:14,740
- You can't get away from me!
- I can get away from you.
709
00:51:16,783 --> 00:51:18,952
The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
710
00:51:20,787 --> 00:51:23,582
- Congratulations, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Winston.
711
00:51:23,665 --> 00:51:27,252
- An unqualified triumph.
- A narrow escape, I say.
712
00:51:27,335 --> 00:51:28,754
It could so easily have gone the other way.
713
00:51:28,837 --> 00:51:33,425
Well, but it didn't,
and has put us right back where we belong.
714
00:51:33,508 --> 00:51:35,093
Higher, in fact.
715
00:51:35,802 --> 00:51:39,514
And, before the tour,
our great nation was in danger
716
00:51:39,973 --> 00:51:45,353
of losing much of its status, our influence,
our standing.
717
00:51:46,021 --> 00:51:49,441
Your courage and conviction prevailed.
718
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,194
This time, perhaps.
719
00:51:52,569 --> 00:51:54,905
But in time they will surely grow tired of it.
720
00:51:55,614 --> 00:51:58,325
- Grow tired of us.
- Only if the Crown
721
00:51:58,825 --> 00:52:01,328
and the people representing the Crown
722
00:52:02,370 --> 00:52:05,415
make mistakes, errors of judgement.
723
00:52:05,957 --> 00:52:08,084
- My dear sister?
- Yes.
724
00:52:09,836 --> 00:52:11,546
What would you have me do?
725
00:52:21,139 --> 00:52:23,308
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Your Majesty?
726
00:52:23,391 --> 00:52:26,228
- Her Royal Highness is on her way.
- Thank you.
727
00:52:28,688 --> 00:52:30,899
MARGARET: It's all right.
I have been here before.
728
00:52:32,234 --> 00:52:33,777
I do know the way.
729
00:52:45,247 --> 00:52:47,874
- What, in there?
- Yes, ma'am.
730
00:52:49,918 --> 00:52:51,086
(SCOFFS)
731
00:53:04,432 --> 00:53:05,934
(DOOR OPENS)
732
00:53:10,438 --> 00:53:11,690
Goodness.
733
00:53:15,151 --> 00:53:16,736
(CHUCKLES)
734
00:53:23,702 --> 00:53:25,996
What have I done to deserve this?
735
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:27,205
The brief was simple.
736
00:53:28,456 --> 00:53:32,961
Perform minor ceremonial tasks
with a minimum of fuss.
737
00:53:33,879 --> 00:53:35,589
Not end up all over the newspapers.
738
00:53:35,672 --> 00:53:37,924
I can't help it if they want to write about me.
739
00:53:38,550 --> 00:53:41,469
Well, it would help
if you didn't give them what they crave.
740
00:53:41,553 --> 00:53:44,347
- Character and excitement.
- Instability and drama.
741
00:53:44,431 --> 00:53:47,058
Well, at least I give them something.
You give them nothing.
742
00:53:47,976 --> 00:53:50,812
- I give them silence.
- Silence is nothing.
743
00:53:51,021 --> 00:53:55,275
- It's the absence of noise.
- Emptiness, blank page.
744
00:53:55,483 --> 00:53:58,153
- Which allows others to shine.
- But the Monarchy should shine.
745
00:53:58,236 --> 00:54:00,071
The Monarchy, yes.
746
00:54:00,155 --> 00:54:01,281
Not the Monarch.
747
00:54:03,491 --> 00:54:05,535
Reparations will need to be made.
748
00:54:06,161 --> 00:54:07,495
To whom?
749
00:54:08,121 --> 00:54:09,789
To the people you offended.
750
00:54:11,541 --> 00:54:14,044
A general, to whom,
when asked if you'd like to dance,
751
00:54:14,169 --> 00:54:16,755
you replied, "Yes, but not with you."
752
00:54:17,631 --> 00:54:20,300
I believe there was also a debutante
who you managed to make cry,
753
00:54:20,383 --> 00:54:22,594
and the dancers of Sadler's Wells,
754
00:54:22,677 --> 00:54:26,890
whom you refused to meet
after arriving late for the performance.
755
00:54:26,973 --> 00:54:28,725
You showed individuality.
756
00:54:29,601 --> 00:54:31,186
And that made people panic.
757
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:33,355
They don't want individuality.
758
00:54:33,939 --> 00:54:37,859
The last person who showed character
almost took the ship down.
759
00:54:40,946 --> 00:54:42,364
You are enjoying this.
760
00:54:43,573 --> 00:54:45,659
- Not a bit.
- Yes, you are.
761
00:54:49,621 --> 00:54:52,207
Admonishing your unruly young sister.
762
00:54:55,168 --> 00:54:57,003
Have you ever thought
how it must be for me?
763
00:54:57,087 --> 00:55:00,590
Many times, at great length, wistfully.
764
00:55:00,674 --> 00:55:04,469
You have a role, a clear set of rules.
765
00:55:04,552 --> 00:55:05,971
All you have to do is follow them.
766
00:55:06,054 --> 00:55:09,599
Margaret, you have freedom.
All you have to do is enjoy it.
767
00:55:09,683 --> 00:55:11,434
You think that I am free?
768
00:55:11,518 --> 00:55:15,063
To be constantly in your shadow,
constantly the overlooked one.
769
00:55:15,146 --> 00:55:18,191
- It looks like heaven to me.
- What you have looks like heaven to me.
770
00:55:26,616 --> 00:55:28,660
Two sisters who envy one another.
771
00:55:30,453 --> 00:55:32,163
We wouldn't be the first.
772
00:55:38,503 --> 00:55:40,005
Pride and Joy.
773
00:55:42,382 --> 00:55:44,759
Remember what Papa called us.
774
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:46,803
Yes.
775
00:55:48,596 --> 00:55:51,891
"Elizabeth is my pride,
and Margaret is my joy."
776
00:55:53,101 --> 00:55:55,103
""But' Margaret is my joy."
777
00:55:58,231 --> 00:56:01,776
I'm sorry.
I have to claim the few victories I'm left with.
778
00:56:03,403 --> 00:56:05,405
We're not disputing it, surely?
779
00:56:07,282 --> 00:56:10,076
- What?
- That I was Papa's favourite.
780
00:56:18,084 --> 00:56:20,211
There's a cruel truth to it, isn't there?
781
00:56:21,129 --> 00:56:23,506
When there are two sisters so close in age,
782
00:56:24,132 --> 00:56:26,676
the more one becomes one thing,
the more the other
783
00:56:27,385 --> 00:56:29,512
necessarily becomes the opposite,
784
00:56:30,472 --> 00:56:31,806
and vice versa.
785
00:56:32,515 --> 00:56:34,100
It's the way of things.
786
00:56:34,851 --> 00:56:35,977
If one is the Queen,
787
00:56:36,061 --> 00:56:38,396
it must be the source of honour,
all that is good,
788
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:43,026
the other necessarily becomes
the focus of the most
789
00:56:44,569 --> 00:56:46,154
creative malice.
790
00:56:47,489 --> 00:56:48,573
Evil sister.
791
00:56:49,657 --> 00:56:51,159
No one says you're evil.
792
00:56:51,242 --> 00:56:53,787
Next to you, I will always be evil.
793
00:56:54,954 --> 00:56:56,331
Feckless.
794
00:56:57,415 --> 00:56:58,625
Lost.
795
00:57:00,293 --> 00:57:01,753
Lesser thing.
796
00:57:06,633 --> 00:57:10,053
And yet you spend so much time
telling me that I'm a lesser thing.
797
00:57:12,764 --> 00:57:15,100
Only to give myself a moment's peace.
798
00:57:26,361 --> 00:57:27,779
Would you consider doing it for me?
799
00:57:29,072 --> 00:57:31,366
- Just from time to time.
- What?
800
00:57:32,033 --> 00:57:35,370
Putting a foot wrong.
The occasional mistake.
801
00:57:35,954 --> 00:57:37,622
Let the side down.
802
00:57:38,540 --> 00:57:41,876
So I might not be so conspicuous a failure
by comparison.
803
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,004
- You're tired.
- No, I'm not. Not tired.
804
00:57:48,842 --> 00:57:51,553
I'm just asking for a future I can bear.
805
00:57:59,561 --> 00:58:00,937
Margaret.
806
00:58:05,817 --> 00:58:08,945
Do I have your word
that those apologies will be made?
807
00:58:13,324 --> 00:58:16,452
We can help you draft letters
or make statements.
808
00:58:21,749 --> 00:58:23,001
No need.
