00:00:10,480 --> 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
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,520
[man] Fall back, please.
335
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,680
Fall back!
336
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Fall back.
Fall back.
337
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,200
[man] I don't
mean to disturb you at all.
338
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,640
[woman] Will you please...
339
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,600
[man] We need to see, ma'am.
340
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,160
[cameras clicking]
341
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,240
[man over TV] It is a scene
of chaos and destruction.
342
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,960
This castle, dating back
to the ninth century,
343
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,480
the fire started in the
private chapel near to
344
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,560
St. George's Hall.
345
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,240
[woman] The events
read like a tabloid re-do
346
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,520
of Old Testament curses.
347
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,160
Plague and pestilence have
been replaced by fire, rumor,
348
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,080
and outright scandal, rocking
the British royal family.
349
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,080
[woman] With three broken marriages
among her four children,
350
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,040
the Queen's efforts to promote
an image of family harmony
351
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,640
are now under the
severest strain.
352
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,760
[Robert] Look at how the great problems
of the Queen and the
353
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,640
monarchy in her lifetime
have been all about love and
354
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,240
marriage and sex.
355
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,200
The abdication.
356
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Princess Margaret and
Peter Townsend later.
357
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,640
And that creates problems.
358
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,360
[man over TV] Buckingham
Palace has condemned the
359
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,720
publication of a series of photographs
of the Duchess of York
360
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,280
and the Texan
businessman John Bryan.
361
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,120
Divorce?
362
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,320
[man] Very well.
363
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,160
Never been mentioned.
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.
