--> 00:00:13,400 [Robert] Look at how the great problems of the Queen and 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,920 the monarchy in her lifetime have been all about love 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,080 and marriage and sex. 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,640 [man over TV] The question a lot of people here in Britain 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,440 are asking this morning is, "Where's the Queen?" 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,400 [man] It's like being brought up in a monastery 9 00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:41,960 with glass walls. 10 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,000 Everyone can look in. 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,880 And every moment of weakness, it'll all be seen and exposed 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,840 and ridiculed. 13 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,880 [Michael] The red light's on. 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,240 [Deborah] We are interviewing Larry Adler, 15 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,880 friend to Prince Philip. 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,800 We are interviewing Commander Michael Avison Parker. 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,520 We are interviewing Lady Janet Mary Young. 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,160 [Dickie] For the first time in her reign, 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,920 the Queen put family before duty. 20 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,720 [man] We could now be witnessing the end of the 21 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,280 monarchy and the reigning Queen could 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,000 possibly be the last. 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,600 [theme music plays] 24 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,280 [Michael] She was being the Princess 25 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,560 and working very hard. 26 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160 He was still in the Navy. 27 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280 Now, in our innocence we thought this was going to go 28 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400 on for a very long time. 29 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040 After all, the King was quite young. 30 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,000 There might have been 40 more years as princess. 31 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,080 [Pamela] When we were on that Commonwealth tour, 32 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,440 and we were in Kenya. 33 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,360 And the people of Kenya, had as a wedding present... 34 00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,080 had given them little Sagana Lodge. 35 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,440 [Michael] We had a day or so there to do, to adjust, 36 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,000 rest, and do things. 37 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,480 Prince Philip went, went to sleep in a, 38 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,880 in a little room that was off to one side. 39 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680 The Queen was at a desk, writing letters. 40 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,040 The phone rang. 41 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,880 My colleague said, 42 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,360 "Mike, there's a ghastly rumor 43 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,720 going around that the King has died." 44 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,000 And he was sitting amongst all the press people there, 45 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,200 and then they were saying that they'd heard. 46 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,040 So I said, "Well, Martin, that's frightening but I 47 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,480 cannot do a thing on a rumor like that. 48 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,760 I mean I just won't do anything." 49 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,800 And he said, "I'm not suggesting you should." 50 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,440 Down went the phone. 51 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,840 I saw a radio on the shelf above me. 52 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,040 And there's a, a door open to where the Queen is sitting. 53 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,600 So I shut the door, and switched on the radio, 54 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,480 and hunted about for the BBC, and then I could hear 55 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,160 the bell of Big Ben. 56 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040 I thought, "Ye gods." 57 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760 So my hair stood up a little bit more. 58 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,880 [man over radio] This is London. 59 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,320 It is with the greatest sorrow that we make the following announcement, 60 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,880 at 10:45 today, February the 6th, 1952, 61 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,560 that the King passed peacefully away in his sleep 62 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,000 earlier this morning. 63 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,760 [Michael] And that was that. 64 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:44,440 So, I whizzed around into where Prince Philip was 65 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,160 sleeping and told him. 66 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:52,440 His first reaction was one of almost as though a huge weight 67 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,600 had hit him. 68 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,960 And he just stood there, 69 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880 silently, in thought. 70 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,480 The implications to the fact that she's becoming Queen. 71 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,240 And, then he straight, he straightened himself up and he went in to 72 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,640 tell the Queen... 73 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,560 and she was, you know, 74 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,640 weeping desperately for the loss of her father. 75 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,240 They walked up and down together, very close. 76 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,440 And then she straightened up, 77 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,800 fully conscious of the fact that she was Queen, 78 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,360 and that she must tend to that affair immediately. 79 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,200 And she went into the desk that she had been working on, 80 00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,360 and started to send all these telegrams off, 81 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000 round the Commonwealth and to friendly countries like the 82 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,960 United States and so on. 83 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,160 There was no time then 84 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,120 for her, if she had wanted to... 85 00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,080 to grieve. 86 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,760 And a very typical reaction actually. 87 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,480 She said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. 88 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,720 It means we've all got to go home." 89 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,720 As the plane was about to touch down at London Airport, 90 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760 and the Prime Minister Winston Churchill, 91 00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:38,720 and my parents and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, 92 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,920 and all the receiving line of the cabinet were drawn up there 93 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880 in their black clothes. 94 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120 And she sort of leans across, looks out, 95 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,920 and says, "Oh god, they've sent the hearses." 96 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,800 Meaning that instead of her car, 97 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,800 one of the big black cars. 98 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,360 And somehow, the way she said it, 99 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,720 one knew this twenty-five-year-old realized that the 100 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,600 end of her private life had come. 101 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,080 And that for the rest of her life, 102 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,240 she would be a public figure until the day she died. 103 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,840 [Elizabeth II] I ask you all, whatever your religion, 104 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,800 to pray for me on the day of my coronation. 105 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,000 [man over TV] And as the storms of cheering surge with 106 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,440 the approaching procession along the river, here, 107 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,200 in contrast, the abbey holds its ancient peace. 108 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,840 [Tim] I think what changed for the Queen at the moment that 109 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,520 she succeeded her father was the sense that she 110 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,320 was on her own. 111 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,520 I think that that's what really changed for her. 112 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,960 She did have the enormous advantage of being trained by her own father. 113 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,520 But I think she must have enjoyed those training sessions with Papa... 114 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,320 because it was something so special between those two. 115 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,040 Nobody else had it. 116 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,880 I remember her once saying to me that, 117 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240 "My father told me I must always remember... 118 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,960 that whatever I said or did to anyone, that they would remember it. 119 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,000 So if I showed disapproval, they will remember that I showed disapproval." 120 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Therefore I think she's very, very careful not to 121 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,680 give any sort of impression that might be construed as disapproval. 122 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,560 [man over TV] The Duke of Edinburgh comes to vow 123 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,560 lifelong allegiance to his Queen. 124 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,680 She's the Queen. 125 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040 And he, perforce, is the husband. 126 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,480 So what does the husband do? 127 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,040 [Robert] Elizabeth, as Princess and Queen, 128 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,400 has always been guided by her sense of duty. 129 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,800 But it's one of the extraordinary things about 130 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,400 the Queen is that she fell in love and married just about 131 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,480 the first man she met. 132 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,560 My father happened to be there when the King and Queen 133 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,320 took the two girls to Dartmouth... 134 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,560 when, I think, Princess Elizabeth was only about 12 years old, 135 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,920 and as Prince Philip was almost a senior cadet. 136 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,440 And, of course, this absolute Greek god. 137 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,840 And I think the princess fell headlong in love with him at that moment. 138 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,240 The Queen was too young. Nobody thought of her falling in love... 139 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,160 And remaining in love with that person for the rest of her life. 140 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760 I mean, she was a child! 141 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,640 [Hugo Vickers] But clearly, he made a great impression on her, 142 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,560 and the romance, if you like, developed rather gradually. 143 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,760 [Robert] Now it caused her parents great anxiety. 144 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,560 What parent wouldn't be anxious about a daughter 145 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:28,200 who wants to marry the very first man she's fallen in love with? 146 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,680 It was a matter of her personal happiness. 147 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,120 It was a matter of the stability of the crown. 148 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,720 Her parents, in fact, while accepting Philip and having Philip, 149 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,480 because he was after all a member of the family, 150 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:48,280 to stay, wouldn't let her actually get engaged until she was over 21, 151 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,600 several years after she wanted because, 152 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:55,400 you know, she wasn't just taking on the man she thought she loved, 153 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560 she was taking on the man who had to shoulder 154 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,800 almost half the burden of the monarchy. 155 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,360 I was at his bachelor party 156 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,600 the night before the wedding 157 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,080 to Princess Elizabeth. 158 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:12,720 He was scared. 159 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,320 His face was white. 160 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,840 This man just began to realize what he was getting into. 161 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,040 And now he finds he doesn't like it. 162 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,080 It was very much... 163 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,600 a conventional British household. 164 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,800 He was very much the man of the family. 165 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,360 He took the decisions. 166 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,440 She looked up to him... 167 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,840 in their private life. 168 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,640 Obviously, as Princess... 169 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,680 she had a lot of official things to do. 170 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,080 But they were still able, with these two small children... 171 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,280 to have this family group. 172 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240 [Michael] Prince Philip was basically a man. 173 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,960 And he was a big man. 174 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,960 And he was a man's man, too. 175 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,480 I think there must have been moments 176 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,080 when it would have been pretty heavy for him to take. 177 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,480 This extremely active 178 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,240 enthusiastic young man. 179 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:01,560 Who suddenly finds his... 180 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,560 whole life is going to be taken away from him. 181 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,640 And probably thinking he will become a yes man... 182 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,360 for the rest of his life. 183 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,160 This really devastated their lives... 184 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,640 actually, as a married couple. 185 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,400 Could you tell me, what is your job in your own mind? 186 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,240 Well, I haven't got one. I'm self-employed. 187 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,240 But surely you must have some clear idea of what role 188 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,680 you'll fulfill in modern society. 189 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,200 Very difficult to answer. 190 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:04,680 [Ingrid] The Queen can't be the wife anymore, the mother. 191 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,080 She really had very little time to be with her children. 192 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,640 So Prince Philip in a way sort of became the househusband. 193 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,480 And he was the one that looked after the children. 194 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,160 Not actually physically looked after them, 195 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,200 but he organized them. 196 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,120 [Ann] When she became Queen, they would see her perhaps for 197 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,160 half an hour in the morning, 9:00, 198 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,640 for half an hour. 199 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,920 And then she would go off for a week, maybe a month, 200 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,680 maybe several months, but in a good week, 201 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920 she might be there in the evening and go up to see them 202 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,280 having their baths and sit on a little gilt chair, 203 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,080 which would be brought in by a lackey. 204 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,760 Not take part in bath time or splashing or anything like that, 205 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,960 but just sit there rather uneasily, 206 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,960 and then dash away after half an hour. 207 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,880 I don't think it was, you know, in that respect... 208 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Prince Philip and, indeed, the Queen were significantly 209 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,160 different from an awful of... 210 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,800 upper-middle class British parents. 211 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,040 That was the way that you... 212 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320 behaved and you didn't cry in public... 213 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,080 you don't cuddle in public, etc. 214 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,520 And, life may be a lot more civilized now. 215 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,800 But it wasn't something peculiar to... 216 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,200 to Prince Charles's relationship with his parents. 217 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,680 And it wasn't... 218 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,960 that anybody was being deliberately... 219 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,120 unkind... or cold. 220 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,200 It was just that that was the way... you did things. 221 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,200 What the Queen and the Duke did with their children... 222 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,280 boarding school would often have... 223 00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:37,480 strict discipline... 224 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,320 and... didn't always produce... 225 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:43,080 rounded human beings, emotionally, 226 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,000 at the end of the process. 227 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:49,960 [Ingrid] You know, she's really sacrificed 228 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,040 her family in a way. 229 00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,720 Duty really came before personal happiness, 230 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,360 and she had her work and that came first. 231 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,800 [Nicholas] Elizabeth and her younger sister Margaret were 232 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,000 always very close as children, but both of them knew that in 233 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,360 the end Elizabeth would be on the throne 234 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,640 and Princess Margaret would need to find a role for herself. 235 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,160 I don't think she ever really settled to that, to be honest. 236 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,120 [man over TV] The arrival of Princess Margaret and her 237 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,240 husband is greeted with the cheers from the crowd, 238 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,120 the flashing lights, and nervous children. 239 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,760 Dignified bedlam reigns. 240 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,240 Most adults remember Margaret growing up 241 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,280 with her sister and the two children were as loved by 242 00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,120 Americans as they were by Britons. 243 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,000 [man over TV] The British and European press has tried to 244 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,440 make Margaret the subject of romance with 29-year-old Roddy Llewellyn, 245 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,160 but despite pictures of them in the Caribbean together, 246 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,000 there has been little substance to back 247 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,080 up the perennial gossipmongers. 248 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,040 [woman] Queen Elizabeth has ruled out divorce 249 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,600 for her sister Margaret. 250 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,360 Instead, the 45 year old princess may obtain a legal 251 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,440 separation from her husband, Lord Snowdon. 252 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,040 They've been married for 16 years, 253 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:02,720 but ten of those years have reportedly been stormy, 254 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,360 and recent stories of princess Margaret's involvement with a 255 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,720 28-year-old jetsetter named Roddy Llewellyn provide 256 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,000 motivation for the current separation talk. 257 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,880 Divorce is a thorny subject for the British royal family. 258 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,560 She was a divorcée, I think. 259 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,200 And the question of whether it was appropriate for the 260 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,680 King of England to be married to a lady who was twice divorced. 261 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,640 [man over radio] This is London. 262 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,080 A quarter of an hour ago, 263 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,640 the Prime Minister came to the bar of the house and handed to 264 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,200 the speaker a message from His Majesty the King. 265 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,560 [Edward VIII] A few hours ago, 266 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,560 I discharged my last duty as King and Emperor. 267 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,400 That I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility 268 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,840 without the help and support of the woman I love. 269 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,680 [man] We therefore do now hereby now proclaim 270 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:32,240 that the high and mighty Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George 271 00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,520 is now become 272 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,760 our only lawful and rightful king. 273 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,440 God save the King! 274 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:59,240 The two girls were in the house of Hyde Park Corner when Elizabeth heard... 275 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,720 all the noise of the cheering when George became King. 276 00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:13,160 And Elizabeth ran downstairs to see what all the excitement was. 277 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,720 And the footman told her that her father was King. 278 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,000 She came back and told her little sister, who was six. 279 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,040 And... 280 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,640 Princess Margaret said, "Does that mean you'll be Queen?" 281 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,520 And she said, "Yes, someday." 282 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,440 Princess Margaret said, "Poor you." 283 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,120 [man over TV] Princess Margaret has been 284 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,600 leading an active, and for royalty, 285 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,480 a somewhat untraditional social life. 286 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,160 Now, England is intrigued by the rumor that Margaret has 287 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,440 fallen in love. 288 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,800 The man is Peter Townsend, a war hero, 289 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,400 a captain in the RAF. 290 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,760 Townsend, however, has been once divorced, 291 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,160 and powerful social and religious forces are marshaled 292 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,080 against the romance. 293 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,760 Still, Margaret wants to marry Townsend. 294 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,680 The Queen and Prince Philip very kindly 295 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,240 invited me to dinner and we talked about this 296 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,560 very disturbing situation, obviously. 297 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,960 But the Queen, I shall never forget, her reaction was on of great sympathy, 298 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,360 although, no doubt, she harbored the greatest anxiety, I expect. 299 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,800 Marriage seemed to be the least likely solution. 300 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080 [Hugo Vickers] The Queen was in conflict because as head 301 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,120 of the Church of England, she could not really permit 302 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,160 her sister to marry a divorced man. 303 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,640 But as the sister of Princess Margaret, 304 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,800 she obviously was very keen that Princess Margaret should be happy, 305 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,880 and it wasn't easy. 306 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,160 [Nicholas] I don't think for a moment that the Queen said to her, 307 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,360 "Listen here, Margaret, you can't do that." 308 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,440 The Queen would have been told by advisors that it was not on. 309 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,320 Very painful for all concerned. 310 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,560 [Camilla] It's sometimes been misreported that the Queen 311 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,120 that said that this relationship couldn't be allowed. 312 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,040 Actually, she was devastated that when push came to shove 313 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:39,560 it was the government who said, 314 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,640 "Actually, we can't allow you to marry this man." 315 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,320 The following statement has just been issued from Clarence House, 316 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,120 by Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret. 317 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,920 I would like it to be known that I have decided... 318 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,120 not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend. 319 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,760 Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble, 320 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,400 and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth, 321 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,720 I have resolved to put their consideration before any others. 322 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,480 [Camilla] I think she had a lot of sympathy for Margaret because, 323 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,160 after all, the Queen knew what true love was, 324 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,560 she had married the man of her dreams. 325 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,800 [Nicholas] I don't envy the royals their life at all, 326 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,320 really, they have to live under the glare of publicity all the time, 327 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,440 everything they do is reported and quoted and criticized. 328 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,960 But Princess Margaret, she had a really difficult life. 329 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,120 [Nick] I think this is one of the tragedies of her life that 330 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,600 she never knew who she was, 331 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,480 never knew who she was supposed to be, 332 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,800 and she left it to others, 333 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,600 not least the media, to work it out for her. 334

By anybody. 364 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,400 I just feel very sad. 365 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,240 I think it's very sad when two people who appear to be so 366 00:28:16,360 --> 00:28:18,520 happy married quite suddenly divorce. 367 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,160 [man over TV] Royal composure collapsed as Princess Diana, 368 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600 under extraordinary media attention, 369 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,760 broke down in tears, since a book detailing her 370 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,200 unhappiness was published last week. 371 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,360 The book claims Diana's marriage became so miserable 372 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,920 that she tried to take her life. 373 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,360 1992 is not a year on which I shall look 374 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,520 back with undiluted pleasure. 375 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,440 In the words or one of my more sympathetic correspondents, 376 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,240 it has turned out to be an "Annus Horribilis". 377 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,520 No institution, City, Monarchy, whatever, 378 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,120 should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give 379 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,440 it their loyalty and support, 380 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,240 not to mention those who don't. 381 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,440 [Elizabeth II] But we are all part of the same fabric of our national society 382 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,880 and that scrutiny, by one part of another, 383 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,080 can be just as effective if it is made with a touch of 384 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,080 gentleness, good humor, and understanding. 385 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,120 As a result of the occurrences over the course of 386 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720 the past several months, and the pushing of the 387 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,120 self-destruct button by the monarchy, 388 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,720 that we could be witnessing the end of the monarchy and 389 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,320 that the reigning Queen could possibly be the last. 390 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,640 [woman] Britain's Queen Elizabeth says she has had it. 391 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,680 It's time for Prince Charles and Princess Diana to officially 392 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,640 end their troubled marriage. 393 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,720 [man over TV] The Prince, who made his televised admission of 394 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,480 adultery over a year ago, is said to agree. 395 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,200 The Princess, who made her televised admission of 396 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,840 adultery a few weeks ago is said to be devastated, 397 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,800 and will give her response after the holidays. 398 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,120 [Ingrid] The Queen actually tried to bring Diana under her wing, 399 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,840 but Diana was very reluctant. 400 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,640 I think, the Diana phenomena... 401 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,440 obviously Charles couldn't handle it, and neither could the Queen. 402 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,720 [man over TV] The Princess of Wales embroiled now in a fresh 403 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,680 round of personal controversy. 404 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,600 [man over TV] The polo-playing former guards officer claims he had a 405 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,720 three-year affair with the Princess. 406 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400 [woman] This morning as she left her exclusive London health club, 407 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,040 the Princess of Wales was saying nothing. 408 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,640 [woman] Rugby star Will Carling and his wife Julia are splitting up, 409 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,920 and everyone's asking, 410 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,200 "Is the Princess of Wales to blame?" 411 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,720 [man over TV] Confirmation of Princess Diana's first serious romance 412 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040 since her split with Charles will be shown in 413 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,240 London's Sunday Mirror tomorrow. 414 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,720 The evidence of photograph of a kiss with millionaire Dodi Al-Fayed 415 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,640 during a Mediterranean cruise costs $400,000. 416 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,360 [woman] This is BBC One. 417 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,480 We have interrupted our programs for a news report. 418 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,600 We now go over to Martin Lewis in the news studio. 419 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,600 [over TV] We interrupt this film to tell you we are getting 420 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,680 reports that Diana, Princess of Wales, 421 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:11,200 has been badly injured in a car crash in France. 422 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,360 [over TV] Just to confirm the news that Diana, 423 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,720 Princess of Wales, has died in a car accident in Paris, 424 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,320 which also killed her companion, Dodi Fayed. 425 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,080 [over TV] The question a lot of people here in Britain 426 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,880 are asking here this morning is, "Where's the Queen?" 427 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,520 The oceans of flowers from Diana's mourners are piling up 428 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,760 in front of Buckingham Palace but they haven't been 429 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,880 acknowledged and, unlike the rest of Britain where the 430 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,480 flags are at half-staff in Diana's memory, 431 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,960 there's no flag flying over the palace. 432 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,560 Nobody's home. 433 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240 When the Princess of Wales died, the Queen was up at Balmoral 434 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,040 with the two little Princes whose mother had been killed. 435 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,040 And yet, she was castigated 436 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,840 for not leaving them and coming to London 437 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,440 to mourn in the streets with people who'd never even met the Princess. 438 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,000 She had two grandchildren, 439 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,240 who must have been very cut up at their mother's rather sudden death. 440 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000 To rush them down to London 441 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,080 for the hype of publicity, seemed to me unnecessary. 442 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,560 Why you could be less feeling at Balmoral than at Buckingham Palace. 443 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,960 I do not know. 444 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,240 I'm now looking through the walls of the shattered school into the main hall, 445 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,600 which is a mass of people and firemen and policemen. 446 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,520 Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, and everybody. 447 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,040 The South Wales disaster. 448 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,520 It's now feared that nearly 200 lives were lost 449 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,880 when the coal tip at Aberfan near Merthyr Tydill 450 00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,320 slid forward today. 451 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,280 [Gyles] One of the few regrets that the Queen has 452 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,480 about her reign was that she felt that she reacted too 453 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,200 slowly in Wales, in a place called Aberfan 454 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,400 back in the 1960s. 455 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,200 [Gaynor] There's always been a controversy and criticism 456 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,640 about the Queen not actually coming earlier to Aberfan or 457 00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,920 immediately to Aberfan, because obviously Lord Snowdon 458 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,960 was the first royal to actually come to Aberfan. 459 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,360 [Snowdon] Princess Margaret couldn't understand why I 460 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,680 wanted to go down. 461 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,160 I just did, you know, thought I, I must. 462 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:30,280 And I stayed there, just going into people's houses, 463 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,400 making cups of tea. 464 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,560 They wanted to talk, 465 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,760 but they were in a state of terrible shock. 466 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,040 [Gaynor] So for the Queen, I think her decision not to come 467 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,960 at that time wasn't probably the right decision for 468 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,560 surviving people, and I think to this day, 469 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,960 the Queen actually had a bit of guilt about that, herself. 470 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,720 [man over radio] The Queen stood there as a mother, 471 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,400 knowing that had circumstances been somewhat different, 472 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,880 her child's name might be fastened to the sandbag, 473 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,200 to mark his place of honor, 474 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,720 in death's final ceremonial occasion. 475 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,120 [Gaynor] I know with all the tragedies in the world, 476 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,880 I think Aberfan has been the main one that's touched the 477 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,400 Queen forever and ever in a day, really, 478 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,760 until the day she dies. 479 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,360 [man over TV] Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royal 480 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,960 family are on summer holiday as usual in Scotland, 481 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,240 and apart from a customary trip to church on Sunday, 482 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,280 the Queen's made no public appearance and no public statement. 483 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,520 But to those who are close to the royal family, 484 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,720 that's no surprise. 485 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,880 And If ever the Monarchy was wobbled, it was in those 486 00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:30,720 48 hours when they were stuck up in Balmoral, 487 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,120 when the country wanted the Queen in London and grieving. 488 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,280 [over TV] On the eve of Princess Diana's funeral, 489 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,400 the royal family is returning to London, 490 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,520 hoping in perhaps to quell some of the criticism of their 491 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,160 actions since Diana's death. 492 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,200 [man over TV] The Queen's convoy arrived in London. 493 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,240 As it swept up to Buckingham Palace, 494 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,240 the limousine halted at the gate, 495 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,960 and the Queen and Prince Philip got out to take in the 496 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,360 mass of floral tributes. 497 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,680 [Ingrid] The Queen was actually extremely nervous because she 498 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,840 could feel the hostility, and actually she heard them say, 499 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,720 "Oh, it's about time you've come." 500 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,920 You know, you, they could hear an awful lot of things that 501 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,280 the crowd was saying. 502 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,800 And then, I think a woman actually gave her a bunch 503 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,040 of flowers and she said, 504 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,440 "Would you like me to place it for you?" 505 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,920 and the woman said, "No, Ma'am, it's for you." 506 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,000 And that sort of broke the ice, 507 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,320 it was that moment, and I think suddenly people saw her, 508 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,640 instead of feeling all prickly and angry, 509 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:49,920 they suddenly thought, 510 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,160 "My goodness, this is, this is a grandmother 511 00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:54,280 and she's got to deal with all this." 512 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,960 [man over TV] Queen Elizabeth will speak publicly 513 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,520 today about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. 514 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,480 Joining me from London is NPR's Michael Goldfarb to talk 515 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,120 about the extraordinary move from the Queen to speak to her subjects. 516 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,600 Any idea what she will say today? 517 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360 [Goldfarb] Uh, it will be a very carefully crafted speech 518 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,560 because people will listen to it with great interest. 519 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,560 Since last Sunday's dreadful news, 520 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,520 we have seen throughout Britain and around the world 521 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,800 an overwhelming expression of sadness at Diana's death. 522 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,200 So what I say to you now as a Queen and as a grandmother, 523 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,400 I say from my heart. 524 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,720 First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. 525 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,040 She was an exceptional and gifted human being. 526 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,800 In good times and bad, she never lost her 527 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,240 capacity to smile and laugh nor to inspire others with her 528 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,320 warmth and kindness. 529 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,840 I admired and respected her for her energy 530 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,400 and commitment to others. 531 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,480 I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, 532 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,280 join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss and gratitude 533 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,800 for her all too short life. 534 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,120 I thought she said everything she 535 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,320 should have said. 536 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,920 I can't think of anything she left out at all. 537 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,360 I think it's completely appropriate. 538 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,960 [man over TV] And they're gathering now at the entrance. 539 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,080 This is an extraordinary view we're seeing here. 540 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,960 We've never, as far as I'm aware, 541 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,080 seen the royal family standing like this at the gates 542 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,200 of Buckingham Palace. 543 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,360 [Ingrid] At the funeral, the Queen was very dignified and 544 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:18,920 she bowed her head when Diana's coffin went past. 545 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,960 And It was spectacularly done. 546 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,840 [Elizabeth II] I, for one, believe there are lessons to 547 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,360 be drawn from her life and from the extraordinary and 548 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,120 moving reaction to her death. 549 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,400 It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation 550 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,160 united in grief and respect. 551 00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,640 [over loudspeaker] Mr. Speaker, today Her Majesty the Queen becomes 552 00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:01,120 the country's longest-reigning monarch. 553 00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:04,800 And it is of course typical of her selfless sense of service 554 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,840 that she would have us treat this day just like any other. 555 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,600 But Mr. Speaker, while I rarely advocate disobeying Her Majesty, 556 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,720 least of all in her own Parliament, 557 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,520 I do think it's right that today we should stop and take 558 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,440 a moment as a nation to mark this historic milestone, 559 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,760 and to thank Her Majesty for the extraordinary service that 560 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,760 she's given our country over more than six decades. 561 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,680 In 63 years and 216 days, she's worked with 12 Prime Ministers, 562 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,720 six archbishops of Canterbury, 563 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,520 nine cabinet secretaries. 564 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,440 She's answered three-and-a-half million pieces of correspondence, 565 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,200 sent over 100,000 telegrams to centenarians 566 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,200 across the Commonwealth, and met more people than any other 567 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,160 monarch in history. 568 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,520 She has served this country with unerring grace, dignity, 569 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,880 and decency, and long may she continue to do so. 570 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:55,960 [crowd] Yeah. 571 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,560 [Robert] The important thing to remember about the early 572 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,120 upbringing of Princess Elizabeth was that although 573 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,000 she was a princess, she was not in line for the throne. 574 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:11,760 And I believe this gave her a modesty that people respect. 575 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,920 I think the only thing she might allow herself 576 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,920 to feel is to say to her father, 577 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,000 "Look, I've done it. 578 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,200 I've been queen for such a long time, 579 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,800 and I've tried to do it the way you taught me." 580 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,320 [Elizabeth II] There is a motto which has been borne by 581 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,160 many of my ancestors. 582 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:44,160 A noble motto, I serve. 583 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,040 I should like to make that dedication now. 584 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,360 It is very simple. 585 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:54,240 I declare before you all that my whole life, 586 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,600 whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your 587 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:03,480 service and to the service of our great imperial family, 588 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,560 to which we all belong. 46150
