Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,427 --> 00:00:12,513
And then, I swing you around there.
2
00:00:14,932 --> 00:00:15,932
Darling!
3
00:00:15,975 --> 00:00:19,729
A bit smoother,
and then very, very close together.
4
00:00:26,694 --> 00:00:29,655
The Duke and duchess of York, your majesty.
5
00:00:29,739 --> 00:00:34,243
I... I... I won't see her. Just my brother.
6
00:00:52,929 --> 00:00:56,432
I gather you've made your decision.
7
00:00:56,515 --> 00:00:57,975
I have.
8
00:00:59,477 --> 00:01:02,230
I'm afraid you won't thank me for it.
9
00:01:06,484 --> 00:01:08,319
Is she really worth it?
10
00:01:08,903 --> 00:01:11,072
I love her with all my heart.
11
00:01:11,155 --> 00:01:16,327
Of course, but more than your own country?
12
00:01:18,996 --> 00:01:23,167
More than your own family?
More than your own brother?
13
00:01:23,834 --> 00:01:24,961
Yes.
14
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:29,006
You'll be fine.
15
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:34,845
You have a wife by your side
and heirs to spare.
16
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:39,058
My daughters.
17
00:01:42,228 --> 00:01:44,313
This will crush them.
18
00:01:47,817 --> 00:01:54,031
If you stand down, I shall want you
and that woman gone for good.
19
00:01:55,491 --> 00:01:58,327
Brother has indeed turned against brother.
20
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:03,040
Pay me to, brother,
21
00:02:04,917 --> 00:02:06,919
and I'll be gone forever.
22
00:02:23,728 --> 00:02:27,732
Ms. MacDonald. His majesty has asked
to see the two princesses.
23
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:31,068
Right. Come along, girls.
24
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:34,572
Lilibet.
25
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:41,746
Margaret.
26
00:02:42,955 --> 00:02:45,708
Your uncle has let us all down.
27
00:02:46,417 --> 00:02:49,045
He put love before family.
28
00:02:49,503 --> 00:02:54,008
Now, I want you to promise me one thing,
29
00:02:54,842 --> 00:03:01,766
that you will never put anyone or anything
before one another.
30
00:03:04,602 --> 00:03:08,397
You are sisters above all else.
31
00:03:09,273 --> 00:03:12,151
And must never let one another down.
32
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:15,196
Understood?
33
00:03:16,530 --> 00:03:17,823
Never.
34
00:03:20,368 --> 00:03:21,660
Never.
35
00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:51,459
- Happy birthday, Margaret.
- Thank you.
36
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:56,380
So, I've done what you all asked
and waited two years,
37
00:04:56,464 --> 00:04:59,383
but now that I am 25,
38
00:04:59,467 --> 00:05:02,178
and free to decide for myself
whom I will marry,
39
00:05:02,261 --> 00:05:04,805
it is with great pleasure...
40
00:05:04,889 --> 00:05:05,890
Thank you.
41
00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:11,395
Great pleasure and pride,
that I say I am still committed to Peter.
42
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:16,484
I've kept my side of the bargain.
43
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:19,570
Now, I'm hoping you'll keep yours.
44
00:05:19,695 --> 00:05:21,071
Of course.
45
00:05:25,075 --> 00:05:26,118
Happy birthday!
46
00:05:26,202 --> 00:05:27,922
- Happy birthday, darling.
- Happy birthday!
47
00:05:27,995 --> 00:05:28,996
Thank you!
48
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:53,229
- Afternoon, ma'am.
- Yes, thank you, Michael.
49
00:05:54,438 --> 00:05:56,607
One or two bits and pieces.
50
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:01,153
A request from our neighbor,
captain farquharson,
51
00:06:01,237 --> 00:06:04,323
wanting to lease a few acres
of balmoral grouse land
52
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:06,992
in exchange for the acres
which we leased from him last year.
53
00:06:07,076 --> 00:06:09,411
Now, I spoke to the head keeper
54
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:14,208
and he advised checking nest stocks
before responding.
55
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,544
Yes, that seems very sensible.
56
00:06:17,336 --> 00:06:21,757
A card for the mayor of easter Ross,
whose 70th it is this year.
57
00:06:22,633 --> 00:06:25,719
Yes, he's not been well, has he?
58
00:06:25,803 --> 00:06:29,807
A stroke, earlier in the year,
but he'll mend now, I'm happy to say.
59
00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:32,226
Good.
60
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:36,272
That's everything from me, ma'am.
Anything from you?
61
00:06:36,355 --> 00:06:39,358
Yes. An instruction
to put things in motion,
62
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:42,278
as regards group captain townsend's
return to the country.
63
00:06:44,196 --> 00:06:45,197
Ma'am?
64
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:49,368
As you know, my sister is now free of
the constraints of the royal marriages act
65
00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:51,620
and no longer requires my consent to marry.
66
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:53,789
Yes.
67
00:06:56,834 --> 00:06:59,003
What is it that you're not saying, Michael?
68
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:01,839
Well, there is still the other hurdle.
69
00:07:02,506 --> 00:07:05,009
The second part of the royal marriages act.
70
00:07:06,176 --> 00:07:08,762
The fact that her royal highness
has turned 25
71
00:07:08,846 --> 00:07:11,515
merely means that she has reached an age
72
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:15,311
where she can give notice
of her intention to marry.
73
00:07:16,812 --> 00:07:19,607
Not that she is free to marry.
74
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:20,774
What?
75
00:07:20,858 --> 00:07:23,819
If both houses of parliament approve,
76
00:07:23,902 --> 00:07:28,782
only then, after 12 months have expired,
can the marriage take place,
77
00:07:28,866 --> 00:07:34,121
and any marriage
contracted in defiance of these rules
78
00:07:34,204 --> 00:07:37,291
would be void.
79
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:40,544
Why did no one tell me this at the time?
80
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:43,339
To which I hope you replied...
81
00:07:43,422 --> 00:07:47,718
"It's always been there, ma'am,
in black and white."
82
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:50,638
Yes, but no one drew my attention to it
or said anything.
83
00:07:54,266 --> 00:07:55,976
It's going to be very difficult.
84
00:07:57,478 --> 00:07:58,520
I'm sorry.
85
00:07:58,687 --> 00:08:02,858
I do feel that we've
left her in a difficult spot.
86
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:05,736
Well, the queen mother
always believed that two years'
87
00:08:05,903 --> 00:08:08,280
separation would be long enough
for Princess Margaret
88
00:08:08,364 --> 00:08:10,991
to lose interest in the group captain
89
00:08:11,075 --> 00:08:15,704
and the whole thing to go away,
but she hasn't and it hasn't.
90
00:08:16,789 --> 00:08:21,919
And if anything, the queen's dilemma
at the heart of it all is only more acute.
91
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:25,047
Either she puts her foot down
and forbids the marriage
92
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:30,803
that turns sister against sister and
splits the royal house down the middle,
93
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:35,349
or she permits the marriage,
setting a collision course
94
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:38,811
with the church
of which she herself is the head.
95
00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:41,647
Well, let me give it some more thought.
96
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:43,691
We 71 speak in the morning.
97
00:08:43,774 --> 00:08:46,110
- Good night, Michael.
- Thank you, sir.
98
00:08:58,622 --> 00:08:59,998
Take a worm.
99
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:03,127
- What?
- A worm.
100
00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:05,212
With your fingers, go on.
101
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:07,297
They won't bite, they're worms, boy.
102
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:10,759
That's it.
103
00:09:10,843 --> 00:09:12,219
Good boy.
104
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:15,347
- It's wriggling.
- Of course it's wriggling. It's a worm.
105
00:09:15,431 --> 00:09:18,767
It'll stop wriggling
once you put it on the hook.
106
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:23,063
So, I was thinking about a week on Monday.
107
00:09:23,147 --> 00:09:24,648
What for?
108
00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:26,859
To make the announcement.
109
00:09:26,942 --> 00:09:28,485
The engagement.
110
00:09:33,949 --> 00:09:36,326
Would you mind holding off?
111
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:38,620
Just a moment longer?
112
00:09:38,704 --> 00:09:41,832
Everything's fine, don't worry.
113
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:44,501
There's just been a slight wrinkle.
114
00:09:44,835 --> 00:09:45,919
What's a "wrinkle"?
115
00:09:46,003 --> 00:09:48,756
No, a formality, which
no one told me about,
116
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:51,443
which means it's just going to take
a little bit longer than expected.
117
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:53,635
Well, how much longer?
We've waited two years already.
118
00:09:53,719 --> 00:09:56,305
- I understand.
- And Peter's been through hell.
119
00:09:56,388 --> 00:09:58,098
- I know.
- Waiting like a martyr.
120
00:09:58,182 --> 00:09:59,725
- Locking himself away...
- I know.
121
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:01,685
Seeing no one. Speaking to no one.
122
00:10:01,769 --> 00:10:04,354
I've been crying into my pillow at night,
counting the days.
123
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:07,399
Why? Why?
Because we were doing you a favor.
124
00:10:07,483 --> 00:10:09,377
- I'm aware of that!
- To spare you your blushes.
125
00:10:09,401 --> 00:10:10,903
To make your life easier.
126
00:10:10,986 --> 00:10:12,988
I know, and I'm going to take care of it.
127
00:10:14,865 --> 00:10:17,910
Look, i_
I probably shouldn't have said a thing.
128
00:10:29,046 --> 00:10:34,885
We're going to go up in three, okay?
One, two, three, cast!
129
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:40,641
Come on. Let's try
again. Hold this, please.
130
00:10:40,724 --> 00:10:43,352
- I'm trying!
- Yeah, well, try harder.
131
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:44,978
It's difficult, daddy.
132
00:10:45,062 --> 00:10:46,605
No, it's not difficult.
133
00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:49,566
Come on. If you don't try again,
you'll never catch a fish.
134
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:52,152
He dominates that poor boy.
135
00:10:52,236 --> 00:10:53,821
Okay. Try again.
136
00:10:55,072 --> 00:10:56,341
Christ. Quit, quit, quit. Watch.
137
00:10:56,365 --> 00:10:57,991
He can be very kind, too.
138
00:10:58,075 --> 00:10:59,827
Watch what I do.
139
00:10:59,910 --> 00:11:01,161
And he's wonderful with Anne.
140
00:11:01,245 --> 00:11:04,164
And here, then back to here,
and then we cast...
141
00:11:04,248 --> 00:11:07,125
I still think he's too hard on him.
142
00:11:07,209 --> 00:11:10,712
Taking out his own frustrations
on an innocent child.
143
00:11:12,548 --> 00:11:16,260
I had lunch with Tommy lascelles last week
and we both agreed
144
00:11:16,343 --> 00:11:21,849
that Philip still hasn't settled
and struggles with life in your shadow.
145
00:11:21,932 --> 00:11:23,183
- Please.
- Come on, Charles.
146
00:11:23,267 --> 00:11:26,186
Let's just... let's have another go.
147
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:28,230
Tommy came up with an interesting notion.
148
00:11:28,313 --> 00:11:29,648
Hey, there you go! Bravo!
149
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:32,276
- Daddy, I caught one!
- Well done!
150
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:41,827
Have you noticed something
about our children?
151
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:45,289
- They're the wrong way round.
- What?
152
00:11:45,372 --> 00:11:48,876
Well, our daughter's a boy
and our son is, god bless him, a girl.
153
00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,461
Don't be silly. He's just sensitive.
154
00:11:51,545 --> 00:11:53,463
Have you seen him fish?
155
00:11:54,298 --> 00:11:55,674
A girl.
156
00:11:55,757 --> 00:11:58,886
What's the matter? You seem preoccupied.
157
00:11:58,969 --> 00:12:03,223
I am. I've got problems with Margaret,
and mummy's been interfering.
158
00:12:03,307 --> 00:12:06,560
- Surprise, surprise.
- Yes. Along with everything else.
159
00:12:09,021 --> 00:12:11,690
Would you hate the idea
of going to Australia?
160
00:12:11,773 --> 00:12:14,359
- What for?
- To open the olympic games.
161
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:18,405
Well, the Olympics, they're in November,
aren't they?
162
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:20,240
You can't go in November.
163
00:12:20,324 --> 00:12:23,827
No, I didn't mean with me,
I meant alone. In my name.
164
00:12:29,541 --> 00:12:31,501
Right. Whose idea was that?
165
00:12:33,503 --> 00:12:34,796
Does it matter?
166
00:12:36,048 --> 00:12:38,008
- Would you agree to it?
- No, I'd be gone months.
167
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:39,217
Weeks.
168
00:12:39,301 --> 00:12:42,220
Away from you. Away from the children.
169
00:12:42,304 --> 00:12:45,182
- Yes, but would you do it?
- No.
170
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,077
Please, Philip.
Everyone just wants you to be happy.
171
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:49,895
Nobody gives a fig about my happiness.
172
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:52,940
Yes, they do.
They want you to be stable and fulfilled.
173
00:12:53,023 --> 00:12:57,444
Everybody wants you happy, stable and
fulfilled. They wish I'd just disappear.
174
00:12:57,527 --> 00:12:59,780
No, they just think you'd benefit
from the attention.
175
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:02,199
- And preferably never come back.
- No, just come back...
176
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:03,450
What?
177
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:05,369
What? Say it.
178
00:13:05,661 --> 00:13:09,122
Say it. A different man?
179
00:13:09,206 --> 00:13:10,874
No, not that.
180
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:13,627
What, then?
181
00:13:14,544 --> 00:13:16,004
Say it, pick the adjective.
182
00:13:17,089 --> 00:13:18,674
All right, yes.
183
00:13:19,383 --> 00:13:20,425
Changed.
184
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:27,808
Princess Margaret,
third in line for the throne of britain,
185
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:31,061
now 25 and legally in control
of her own destiny.
186
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:35,857
Pressmen and sightseers throng the lanes,
undeterred by the official statement
187
00:13:35,941 --> 00:13:41,154
that no announcement is contemplated
at present about the Princess' future.
188
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:45,492
Meanwhile, the new prime minister,
fresh off the plane from Cairo,
189
00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:47,369
travels to Scotland to brief the queen
190
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:49,746
on the latest development
with colonel nasser.
191
00:13:52,374 --> 00:13:56,003
Mr. Eden! Have you come to
discuss Princess Margaret's marriage?
192
00:14:13,937 --> 00:14:16,023
- Margaret?
- Hello.
193
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:18,775
Where are you going?
Prime minister's just arrived.
194
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:19,985
I'm taking to my bed.
195
00:14:20,068 --> 00:14:22,195
I intend to remain in
sulk for at least a week.
196
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:23,864
Oh, dear.
197
00:14:23,947 --> 00:14:25,991
Don't tell me, my wife?
198
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:27,242
Yes.
199
00:14:27,826 --> 00:14:29,286
Tie.
200
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:30,996
Thank you.
201
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:32,831
It's not easy.
202
00:14:32,914 --> 00:14:35,292
I'm a little fed up with her myself,
truth be told.
203
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,419
Why? What's she done to you?
204
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:39,046
Don't get me started.
205
00:14:39,129 --> 00:14:41,173
Is she making life
difficult for you and Peter?
206
00:14:41,256 --> 00:14:45,052
- Yes, she wants to delay the engagement.
- Well, it serves you right, quite frankly.
207
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:47,554
You both seem far too happy
and far too in love.
208
00:14:47,637 --> 00:14:49,598
- Do we?
- Yes.
209
00:14:49,681 --> 00:14:52,350
It's easy to be in love with someone
who's not here, isn't it?
210
00:14:54,102 --> 00:14:58,565
Yes. Perhaps that's why
she's sending me away. Chin up.
211
00:15:03,445 --> 00:15:05,363
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
212
00:15:13,371 --> 00:15:15,165
Would you excuse me?
213
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:45,070
The prime minister, your majesty.
214
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:46,321
Yes.
215
00:15:46,404 --> 00:15:49,449
I've just been reading about
your difficulty with colonel nasser.
216
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:52,452
Have the newspapers
exaggerated it terribly?
217
00:15:52,536 --> 00:15:54,830
To a very significant degree, yes.
218
00:15:54,913 --> 00:15:57,666
Well, you can tell me
all about it in the car.
219
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:59,960
I thought rather than
have our audience in the study,
220
00:16:00,043 --> 00:16:01,294
we could get some fresh air.
221
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:04,089
You must be longing for a walk
after your journey.
222
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:06,007
Do you have any outdoor shoes?
223
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:08,176
Galoshes, ma'am.
224
00:16:08,260 --> 00:16:11,054
Well, you might need something
sturdier than that. Come on!
225
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:14,724
She's a bit throaty, I'm afraid.
226
00:16:16,059 --> 00:16:19,062
We've been having trouble
with the fuel pump.
227
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,748
Tell me about colonel nasser.
228
00:16:39,583 --> 00:16:44,045
Well, the trouble started
the minute we landed in Cairo.
229
00:16:47,382 --> 00:16:52,721
I got off the plane and made a statement
to local reporters, in arabic.
230
00:16:52,804 --> 00:16:54,139
You speak arabic?
231
00:16:54,264 --> 00:16:57,726
Very badly. I studied it at Oxford.
232
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,568
I am delighted to be here in Cairo
to meet with colonel nasser
233
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:12,490
to continue discussions about the funding
for his grand aswan dam project.
234
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:15,368
His arabic is good.
235
00:17:16,244 --> 00:17:17,621
Thank you.
236
00:17:18,455 --> 00:17:19,998
Very good.
237
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,171
Too good.
238
00:17:26,254 --> 00:17:29,049
I'm sure the colonel
would have been charmed by that.
239
00:17:29,132 --> 00:17:30,258
On the contrary.
240
00:17:31,176 --> 00:17:34,304
That night,
there was a dinner at our embassy.
241
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:38,558
- He came in uniform.
- Military uniform?
242
00:17:38,642 --> 00:17:39,643
Yes.
243
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:42,354
Well, whatever for?
244
00:17:42,437 --> 00:17:45,565
One would think the clue
would be in the invitation to dinner
245
00:17:45,649 --> 00:17:47,567
that one would wear a dinner jacket.
246
00:17:47,651 --> 00:17:52,197
He came as if we 'd invited him to battle
and promptly behaved like that.
247
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,991
Your excellency, prime minister Eden.
248
00:17:56,368 --> 00:17:58,787
Is anything the matter?
249
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:02,249
No one told me it was formal dress tonight.
250
00:18:03,291 --> 00:18:07,796
No matter, sir, it's just a suit.
251
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:10,257
But the wrong suit.
252
00:18:10,340 --> 00:18:15,095
Sensing his embarrassment
and wishing to spare him further blushes,
253
00:18:15,178 --> 00:18:18,139
I tried to make the situation better.
254
00:18:18,556 --> 00:18:22,519
If I was as decorated as you sir
255
00:18:23,144 --> 00:18:26,731
I would wear my uniform all the time.
256
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:30,652
Wouldn't take it off.
257
00:18:32,070 --> 00:18:33,947
You think I don't know?
258
00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:37,784
That you received
the military cross for bravery
259
00:18:38,368 --> 00:18:40,996
in the first world war
260
00:18:41,371 --> 00:18:45,834
and you were the youngest brigade major
in the British army, at twenty-one.
261
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:52,465
You are more decorated than me...
262
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:54,718
Captain Eden.
263
00:18:56,511 --> 00:19:02,475
That night,
the voice of Egypt radio station in Cairo
264
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:07,647
claimed that nasser had been deliberately
humiliated by the imperious British.
265
00:19:07,731 --> 00:19:09,065
Oh, dear.
266
00:19:09,232 --> 00:19:12,235
It might be worth
extending the hand of goodwill.
267
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:13,820
Indeed, we are, ma'am.
268
00:19:13,903 --> 00:19:18,325
We're bending over backwards
to help him fund this dam project.
269
00:19:18,408 --> 00:19:21,578
Things here could do with
a little settling, too.
270
00:19:23,371 --> 00:19:25,206
My sister's engagement.
271
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:32,881
This was their favorite place.
272
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:37,761
They would ride out here together.
273
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,975
And put a single stone down
for each time they met.
274
00:19:47,854 --> 00:19:51,858
I thought this would be the perfect spot
for us to discuss the matter.
275
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:54,861
You see,
276
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:59,115
I gave my sister my assurance
277
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:03,036
that if she waited until the age of 25,
she could do as she likes.
278
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,373
Now, I discover that's not true,
279
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:09,793
and that she still needs to wait a year
to get permission from parliament,
280
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:13,296
which is not the advice
that I originally received.
281
00:20:13,922 --> 00:20:14,964
Yes.
282
00:20:16,591 --> 00:20:21,638
And I'm afraid to say that,
even if she were to ask that permission,
283
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:24,974
I cannot guarantee that she would get it.
284
00:20:27,310 --> 00:20:30,355
Because a good many
remain opposed to the idea
285
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,232
on religious grounds.
286
00:20:39,656 --> 00:20:41,408
Then advise me.
287
00:20:41,491 --> 00:20:45,912
Group captain townsend will be leaving
Brussels and returning home shortly,
288
00:20:45,995 --> 00:20:49,040
having done exactly
what we asked him to do.
289
00:20:50,125 --> 00:20:54,838
How can I keep my word after I gave it
knowing only half the facts?
290
00:20:57,340 --> 00:21:00,844
Let me take the temperature of the cabinet.
291
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:06,683
We must not forget that times are changing.
292
00:21:08,518 --> 00:21:10,270
Morality is changing.
293
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,523
Country is changing.
294
00:21:36,671 --> 00:21:38,339
So, it was your idea, was it?
295
00:21:38,423 --> 00:21:40,800
Dispatching me to the penal colonies?
296
00:21:40,884 --> 00:21:42,760
If you mean entrusting you
to go to Melbourne
297
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:46,139
to open the olympic games alone,
actually it was Tommy lascelles.
298
00:21:46,222 --> 00:21:48,558
Your puppet. I might have guessed.
299
00:21:51,936 --> 00:21:53,730
And you ought to be flattered.
300
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:55,273
To be trusted to cut a ribbon?
301
00:21:55,356 --> 00:21:58,776
- To be given that level of freedom.
- What freedom? I have no freedom.
302
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:00,987
You have more freedom
than any consort in history.
303
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:04,073
And you repay it by scowling and skulking
like an adolescent.
304
00:22:08,745 --> 00:22:10,038
So, go.
305
00:22:10,872 --> 00:22:15,793
Have some time in the spotlight, be the
main attraction, and enjoy the attention.
306
00:22:17,086 --> 00:22:20,381
Hopefully it will do you some good.
You might finally be less resentful
307
00:22:20,465 --> 00:22:23,510
and more supportive
of my daughter in her duty.
308
00:22:30,517 --> 00:22:32,393
That's it, Charles.
309
00:22:49,369 --> 00:22:50,537
When's the wedding day, sir?
310
00:22:50,620 --> 00:22:52,056
Are you going to make an announcement?
311
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,498
Anything you want to share with us?
312
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:55,250
- Townsend.
- No, thank you.
313
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:29,993
There's no formal confirmation of this
from the palace.
314
00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,340
Prime minister.
315
00:24:25,423 --> 00:24:26,716
Michael.
316
00:24:27,425 --> 00:24:28,468
Sir.
317
00:24:28,551 --> 00:24:33,264
I discussed the matter this morning
with the Attorney General
318
00:24:34,766 --> 00:24:38,478
and he advised that there was no easy way
319
00:24:38,561 --> 00:24:42,732
around the governing rules
of the royal marriages act.
320
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:46,402
Furthermore,
321
00:24:47,236 --> 00:24:51,491
several senior members of cabinet
remain violently opposed.
322
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:57,747
Indeed, lord Salisbury has made it clear
that he would resign from government,
323
00:24:57,830 --> 00:25:02,835
rather than submit to what he considers
a subversion of the church's teachings,
324
00:25:04,379 --> 00:25:10,259
the holy sacrament of marriage
and the decay of moral standards.
325
00:25:13,262 --> 00:25:17,183
But I realize this doesn't help you.
326
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:21,437
So, if it is
327
00:25:22,063 --> 00:25:26,609
your majesty's intention
to support your sister,
328
00:25:26,693 --> 00:25:28,194
come what may...
329
00:25:29,445 --> 00:25:30,488
It is.
330
00:25:31,948 --> 00:25:34,409
Then the best I can offer is to
331
00:25:35,284 --> 00:25:38,496
place a bill of renunciation
before parliament.
332
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:45,378
It would deprive her of all her rights,
privileges and income.
333
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:51,134
She would have to be married
in a civil ceremony abroad.
334
00:25:52,677 --> 00:25:57,306
And be obliged to live out of the country
for several years.
335
00:25:59,809 --> 00:26:02,186
But you will have kept your word.
336
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:10,111
And she will have prevailed
and will be Mrs. Peter townsend.
337
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:15,491
Of course.
338
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:18,619
That's the strategy.
339
00:26:20,413 --> 00:26:21,998
What strategy?
340
00:26:22,081 --> 00:26:26,711
Force me into that choice,
bank on the fact that I would never do it.
341
00:26:26,794 --> 00:26:28,629
"Smart set Margaret. Good time Margaret.
342
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:31,340
"She could never survive
without the trimmings." Well, I could.
343
00:26:31,424 --> 00:26:35,803
I could live perfectly happily
without the staff, without the car,
344
00:26:35,887 --> 00:26:38,431
without the parties, without the attention.
345
00:26:38,514 --> 00:26:40,725
Without the money. Effortlessly.
346
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:44,520
I am more than my title,
than these privileges.
347
00:26:45,605 --> 00:26:47,315
Peter wouldn't want it anyway.
348
00:26:47,398 --> 00:26:51,527
So, if that's what's on offer, I'll give up
my title and we'll leave the country.
349
00:26:51,611 --> 00:26:53,821
It's not what I want for you.
350
00:26:53,905 --> 00:26:56,115
So, please, think about it.
351
00:26:56,199 --> 00:26:58,493
I mean really, really think about it.
352
00:27:01,788 --> 00:27:03,039
Fine.
353
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:08,211
And while I'm thinking about it,
perhaps you could think about this.
354
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:13,216
I have a country that is for me.
355
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:16,469
Newspapers that sympathize with me.
356
00:27:16,552 --> 00:27:20,723
I represent what a growing majority want.
The future, not the past.
357
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:25,144
A kinder, more tolerant attitude
to marriage and divorce.
358
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:27,271
That's not me.
359
00:27:28,648 --> 00:27:29,774
Fine.
360
00:27:32,318 --> 00:27:34,320
Then a government in your name.
361
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:46,666
There they are!
362
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:26,664
Slow down here.
363
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:41,721
They tried to bribe my Butler.
364
00:28:41,804 --> 00:28:43,806
£100! Can you imagine?
365
00:28:43,890 --> 00:28:45,725
For a photograph of the two of you.
366
00:28:45,808 --> 00:28:48,352
It's all rather too much, isn't it?
367
00:28:52,648 --> 00:28:56,152
The house is under siege.
And you're the cause of it all, old boy.
368
00:28:57,361 --> 00:29:01,490
Not bad, sweeping up
the most eligible woman in the world.
369
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:04,035
Shall we?
370
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,453
Yes.
371
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:09,498
- Peter?
- No, you dance, darling. I'll go to bed.
372
00:29:09,582 --> 00:29:12,668
- You're sure?
- I'm quite sure.
373
00:29:55,461 --> 00:29:56,754
Hello.
374
00:29:56,837 --> 00:29:58,005
Hello.
375
00:30:08,724 --> 00:30:11,018
Everyone is still dancing.
376
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,396
Then why are you here?
377
00:30:13,896 --> 00:30:15,856
To tell you that I love you.
378
00:30:18,734 --> 00:30:20,069
Thank you.
379
00:30:21,237 --> 00:30:24,031
- And that they're just children.
- I know.
380
00:30:24,115 --> 00:30:26,033
And I'm mad for you.
381
00:30:26,117 --> 00:30:27,410
Me, too.
382
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:01,193
Her royal highness Princess Margaret
383
00:31:01,277 --> 00:31:04,196
and wartime fighter ace
group captain townsend
384
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,200
were important weekend visitors
at allenby park, near windsor.
385
00:31:08,284 --> 00:31:11,203
Pressmen and sightseers
hoping for a glimpse of the couple
386
00:31:11,287 --> 00:31:16,042
were undeterred by the official statements
that no announcement is expected.
387
00:31:16,125 --> 00:31:19,211
But whatever the answer to the question
that millions are asking,
388
00:31:19,295 --> 00:31:23,924
no one can doubt the warmth and sympathy
countless ordinary people have
389
00:31:24,008 --> 00:31:27,970
for the queen's sister
and the former equerry to her majesty.
390
00:31:53,162 --> 00:31:56,082
Since our last meeting,
I've been thinking a great deal
391
00:31:56,165 --> 00:31:59,752
about something that my father said
to Princess Margaret and myself
392
00:31:59,835 --> 00:32:02,046
at the time of the abdication.
393
00:32:02,797 --> 00:32:06,008
He made us swear, as sisters,
394
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:10,179
never to put anything or anyone
before one another,
395
00:32:10,262 --> 00:32:13,307
in the way that he felt his brother had.
396
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:20,481
It's an oath that we both made
and that we intend to keep.
397
00:32:20,564 --> 00:32:23,943
But I can't see how I'm to honor it.
398
00:32:24,026 --> 00:32:29,073
It is my duty as queen to refuse
Margaret marriage to a divorced man.
399
00:32:29,156 --> 00:32:31,033
Everyone advises me so.
400
00:32:33,327 --> 00:32:38,582
And yet, I will be breaking a promise,
not only to my sister,
401
00:32:41,377 --> 00:32:43,546
but also to my late father.
402
00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:52,304
And the one body of people who might
make it possible for me to keep my promise
403
00:32:54,348 --> 00:32:55,599
is cabinet.
404
00:32:58,686 --> 00:33:03,732
A group whom, I've learned, count no fewer
than four divorced men in their number.
405
00:33:07,653 --> 00:33:08,654
Yes.
406
00:33:08,737 --> 00:33:10,531
Yourself included, prime minister.
407
00:33:10,614 --> 00:33:11,699
Indeed.
408
00:33:13,784 --> 00:33:15,828
Now, iwonder, in light of this,
409
00:33:15,911 --> 00:33:21,750
whether you might go back
and use your considerable influence
410
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:26,255
and ask your cabinet colleagues
if they might reconsider
411
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:28,966
their decision to oppose the marriage.
412
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:31,969
Certainly, ma'am.
413
00:33:33,429 --> 00:33:40,102
Though, I feel I should warn you
that there still will be the church.
414
00:33:40,769 --> 00:33:43,439
Yes, well, I'll see to that.
415
00:33:45,733 --> 00:33:50,112
The archbishops of canterbury, and York.
416
00:33:52,281 --> 00:33:54,408
And the bishop of durham.
417
00:33:55,951 --> 00:33:58,329
Is that Winchester?
418
00:33:58,412 --> 00:33:59,538
Bath and Wells, ma'am.
419
00:34:00,706 --> 00:34:02,499
The big guns.
420
00:34:02,958 --> 00:34:05,586
The four horsemen of the apocalypse.
421
00:34:09,298 --> 00:34:12,760
Marriage is a sacrament of god.
422
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:17,556
The cornerstone of
our Christian family life.
423
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,808
Its foundation and its rock.
424
00:34:21,101 --> 00:34:26,190
And according to the canon law
of the church of england,
425
00:34:27,650 --> 00:34:29,318
indissoluble.
426
00:34:29,944 --> 00:34:33,656
Put simply, there are no circumstances
427
00:34:33,739 --> 00:34:38,869
where the church might permit
the remarriage of divorced persons
428
00:34:38,953 --> 00:34:42,998
while the husband or wife
of the former marriage is still alive.
429
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:47,211
Even if he was the innocent party?
430
00:34:47,878 --> 00:34:50,172
No circumstances at all.
431
00:34:50,965 --> 00:34:53,592
That makes my position very difficult.
432
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:58,430
To forbid the marriage
would risk breaking up my family.
433
00:34:58,514 --> 00:35:00,933
Your majesty, as queen,
434
00:35:02,518 --> 00:35:06,689
you are fidei defensor,
435
00:35:09,858 --> 00:35:12,111
defender of the faith.
436
00:35:13,279 --> 00:35:17,866
That was the oath you made
at the coronation.
437
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:23,163
Well, I married the man of my choice and
I'd like to think she could do the same.
438
00:35:23,247 --> 00:35:25,958
Well, the reality of it is that
she really likes the fella...
439
00:35:26,125 --> 00:35:28,502
Time to concede, it would seem.
440
00:35:30,587 --> 00:35:32,589
Give the people what they want.
441
00:35:32,673 --> 00:35:34,216
Do they really know what they want?
442
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:39,805
Quite frankly, the world today,
isn't what it was a few years ago,
443
00:35:39,888 --> 00:35:42,474
and he was not the guilty party...
444
00:35:42,558 --> 00:35:44,977
I think they're making it very clear.
445
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:48,647
So, well, the archbishops
just made themselves clear, too.
446
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:52,026
You don't need to listen to them, surely?
447
00:35:52,568 --> 00:35:55,904
As head of the church of england,
I thought I might.
448
00:35:57,740 --> 00:36:00,701
Well, in the name of the people
that live with you and love you,
449
00:36:00,784 --> 00:36:03,912
might I suggest
not being head of the church for a minute.
450
00:36:03,996 --> 00:36:06,790
Or head of state,
or head of the commonwealth of nations,
451
00:36:06,874 --> 00:36:09,209
or the army, or the
Navy, or the government,
452
00:36:09,293 --> 00:36:12,713
or the fount of justice,
or the whole damn circus, frankly.
453
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:14,673
And be what?
454
00:36:14,757 --> 00:36:17,426
A living, breathing thing, a woman.
455
00:36:17,509 --> 00:36:20,054
A sister. A daughter. A wife.
456
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:29,897
All ready for you, your majesty.
457
00:36:37,488 --> 00:36:38,947
Elizabeth...
458
00:36:56,006 --> 00:36:58,050
I've been hoping to hear from you.
459
00:36:58,133 --> 00:37:01,011
I've found myself hovering
by the phone for days.
460
00:37:01,095 --> 00:37:04,390
- It's about Margaret?
- Yes.
461
00:37:04,473 --> 00:37:06,225
The French are very much for her, you know.
462
00:37:06,308 --> 00:37:09,228
Well, at least Paris is,
which is the only France that matters.
463
00:37:09,311 --> 00:37:11,313
And are you for her, too?
464
00:37:11,397 --> 00:37:14,900
For Margaret, la Maria? How can I not be?
465
00:37:14,983 --> 00:37:18,779
I share with her
the fate of having a great love
466
00:37:18,862 --> 00:37:23,158
that captured
much of the country's imagination,
467
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:26,703
only to have it forbidden
by the establishment.
468
00:37:26,787 --> 00:37:29,331
So, naturally, my sympathy is with her.
469
00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:31,041
I see.
470
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:37,589
But there is also
the other great love of my life,
471
00:37:39,299 --> 00:37:41,176
the crown,
472
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:43,679
and protecting that crown.
473
00:37:44,221 --> 00:37:49,685
And I imagine you find yourself
in a difficult position now.
474
00:37:49,768 --> 00:37:52,146
Split down the middle.
475
00:37:53,814 --> 00:37:57,484
One half is sister, one half is queen.
476
00:37:58,152 --> 00:37:59,361
Exactly.
477
00:38:00,529 --> 00:38:03,866
A strange, hybrid creature.
478
00:38:05,534 --> 00:38:08,370
Like a sphinx or gamayun.
479
00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:13,667
As I am ganesha or minotaur.
480
00:38:15,544 --> 00:38:17,796
We are half people.
481
00:38:18,922 --> 00:38:23,135
Ripped from the pages
of some bizarre mythology,
482
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:27,431
the two sides within us, human and crown,
483
00:38:27,514 --> 00:38:32,644
engaged in a fearful civil war,
which never ends.
484
00:38:33,854 --> 00:38:38,567
And which blights
our every human transaction as...
485
00:38:39,485 --> 00:38:42,654
As brother, husband,
486
00:38:43,489 --> 00:38:46,825
sister, wife, mother.
487
00:38:48,118 --> 00:38:53,957
I understand the agony you feel
and I am here to tell you,
488
00:38:54,041 --> 00:38:55,834
it will never leave you.
489
00:38:57,753 --> 00:39:00,714
I will always be half-king.
490
00:39:02,674 --> 00:39:07,804
My tragedy is that I have no kingdom.
491
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:10,766
You have it.
492
00:39:11,642 --> 00:39:13,769
And you must protect it.
493
00:40:07,489 --> 00:40:10,158
Her royal highness the Princess Margaret.
494
00:40:26,258 --> 00:40:28,051
I've asked you here
495
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:33,515
to say that I've given the matter thought.
496
00:40:34,850 --> 00:40:36,852
A great deal of thought.
497
00:40:38,020 --> 00:40:42,566
The issue of your marriage has,
for the past weeks, and months,
498
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:46,236
gone to the very heart of
a great number of things.
499
00:40:47,195 --> 00:40:51,992
The country, morality, divorce.
500
00:40:55,162 --> 00:40:59,249
But also something closer to home.
501
00:41:02,044 --> 00:41:03,211
Who I am.
502
00:41:04,755 --> 00:41:06,089
What I am.
503
00:41:08,508 --> 00:41:10,010
And your marriage to Peter...
504
00:41:10,093 --> 00:41:13,180
- Wait, I...
- No, please, Margaret.
505
00:41:16,058 --> 00:41:19,227
It doesn't come naturally for me to
speak like this, so please let me finish.
506
00:41:24,024 --> 00:41:27,986
It's involved going against
members of our family,
507
00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:31,239
against senior courtiers, against cabinet.
508
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:38,080
You know how I hate confrontation,
or mess, or dereliction of duty,
509
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:45,837
but I was prepared to go through it all
and support you, as a sister
510
00:41:45,921 --> 00:41:48,465
because I'd given you my word.
511
00:41:52,594 --> 00:41:53,762
But...
512
00:42:10,487 --> 00:42:11,780
But what?
513
00:42:18,620 --> 00:42:20,205
But I realized,
514
00:42:21,873 --> 00:42:23,125
as queen,
515
00:42:27,754 --> 00:42:29,631
that I have no choice.
516
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:40,434
I cannot allow you to marry Peter
and remain part of this family.
517
00:42:44,229 --> 00:42:46,022
That is my decision.
518
00:43:04,624 --> 00:43:07,961
In defiance of the pledge
you made to our father?
519
00:43:11,506 --> 00:43:14,593
And the pledge you gave to me?
520
00:43:18,930 --> 00:43:20,056
Yes.
521
00:43:44,915 --> 00:43:46,458
Will you forgive me?
522
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:53,548
- If you deny me the man I love?
- If I put duty before family.
523
00:43:53,632 --> 00:43:56,051
Would you forgive anyone
who denied you Philip?
524
00:43:57,886 --> 00:44:01,056
- It doesn't compare.
- It compares exactly.
525
00:44:01,598 --> 00:44:06,353
In marrying Philip, iwasn't violating
the scriptures or offending the church.
526
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:18,782
I'm so sorry.
527
00:44:21,493 --> 00:44:24,079
- You will love others.
- No. Never.
528
00:44:33,255 --> 00:44:35,257
Peter is the only one.
529
00:44:36,341 --> 00:44:39,886
I understand that it feels like that now,
but, Margaret...
530
00:44:39,970 --> 00:44:43,932
I know I appear strong, but I'm not.
531
00:44:48,812 --> 00:44:52,440
Peter is the only one who knows how to
532
00:44:52,524 --> 00:44:55,819
calm me, to reassure me, to protect me.
Don't tell me you understand that.
533
00:44:55,902 --> 00:44:59,447
You don't know for a
minute what it is to be
534
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,702
unhinged.
535
00:45:05,787 --> 00:45:07,205
Be flailing about.
536
00:45:09,583 --> 00:45:11,793
Well, Peter is the only one
537
00:45:18,133 --> 00:45:20,135
Who could hold me together.
538
00:45:27,017 --> 00:45:28,685
Without him,
539
00:45:33,106 --> 00:45:34,566
I'm lost.
540
00:46:37,087 --> 00:46:39,089
I will never forgive her.
541
00:46:43,885 --> 00:46:46,721
And I will never marry anyone else.
542
00:46:47,597 --> 00:46:49,015
Even
543
00:46:50,392 --> 00:46:52,227
you're the only one.
544
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:13,039
"I would like it to be known that
545
00:47:13,123 --> 00:47:15,834
"that her royal highness
the Princess Margaret and I
546
00:47:18,670 --> 00:47:21,589
"have decided not to marry.
547
00:47:27,012 --> 00:47:32,267
"Mindful of the church's teaching that
Christian marriage is indissoluble,
548
00:47:35,103 --> 00:47:40,066
"and accepting my position
as a divorced man,
549
00:47:41,901 --> 00:47:45,363
"and knowing how deeply religious faith
550
00:47:45,447 --> 00:47:50,118
"and commitment to the church runs
within the Princess,
551
00:47:53,163 --> 00:47:55,749
"we have resolved
to make the ultimate sacrifice
552
00:47:55,832 --> 00:47:59,210
"and break off our relationship
with immediate effect.
553
00:48:00,170 --> 00:48:02,130
"Her royal highness
the Princess Margaret and I
554
00:48:02,213 --> 00:48:06,176
"are strengthened by the unfailing support
of the royal family
555
00:48:06,259 --> 00:48:08,178
"whom it has been my honor
556
00:48:08,261 --> 00:48:13,183
"and my privilege to serve
for these last 10 years.
557
00:48:15,643 --> 00:48:21,274
"I will now return to Brussels to continue
my important work as air attache there."
558
00:48:23,151 --> 00:48:26,196
Mr. Townsend,
would you like to make a comment?
559
00:48:30,909 --> 00:48:34,079
The 19 days between
Peter townsend's return to London
560
00:48:34,162 --> 00:48:38,249
and the Princess' decision
were a period of mounting suspense.
561
00:48:38,333 --> 00:48:41,086
Now, she has put her royal duty first.
562
00:48:41,169 --> 00:48:44,589
Outside Clarence house,
the day after the announcement,
563
00:48:44,672 --> 00:48:47,300
people hoped to see and encourage her.
564
00:48:47,383 --> 00:48:51,971
The hearts of all britain and the
commonwealth are with the young Princess,
565
00:48:52,055 --> 00:48:55,016
who has chosen not self, but country.
566
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:03,942
The group captain flies back to Brussels,
the end of a story of love and duty,
567
00:49:04,109 --> 00:49:06,361
with duty prevailing.
568
00:49:13,284 --> 00:49:18,748
Apparently, the prime minister called nasser
in an attempt to defuse the situation,
569
00:49:18,832 --> 00:49:22,627
but it seems the Egyptian leader
took offense again.
570
00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:24,337
Why this time?
571
00:49:25,505 --> 00:49:30,510
Because the pm refused to speak a word
of arabic, insisting on speaking English.
572
00:49:31,386 --> 00:49:33,513
What's the matter with that?
573
00:49:35,390 --> 00:49:38,726
Well, it seems nasser hadn't arranged
for a translator to be present,
574
00:49:38,810 --> 00:49:42,647
which left him exposed since he
doesn't speak sufficiently good English.
575
00:49:42,730 --> 00:49:44,315
He felt tricked and humiliated
576
00:49:44,399 --> 00:49:48,278
and has taken the whole thing
as a terrible affront.
577
00:49:48,945 --> 00:49:52,115
There is some personal history
between the two men, I believe.
578
00:49:52,198 --> 00:49:55,201
Oh, dear. Well, I do
hope it all calms down.
579
00:50:11,217 --> 00:50:12,510
I'm off.
580
00:50:12,594 --> 00:50:14,470
Where are you going?
581
00:50:14,554 --> 00:50:16,556
We are ready for her majesty.
582
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:20,476
To meet the president
of the olympic committee, as instructed.
583
00:50:22,228 --> 00:50:25,815
They now suggest I combine
opening the games with a royal tour,
584
00:50:25,899 --> 00:50:28,443
stay away even longer, five months.
585
00:50:29,068 --> 00:50:30,320
A long way to go.
586
00:50:31,613 --> 00:50:34,449
A long time for a father to be
away from his children.
587
00:50:36,868 --> 00:50:42,832
But, no, if it gives me time
to reflect and to work out my priorities
588
00:50:42,916 --> 00:50:45,001
and to settle, not just in the marriage,
589
00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:48,504
but you know, generally, it'll be worth it.
590
00:50:48,630 --> 00:50:52,342
Don't be like that.
Everyone's just trying to help.
591
00:50:52,425 --> 00:50:54,427
Yes, by putting a problem
on a boat to Australia
592
00:50:54,510 --> 00:50:59,641
and hoping it sorts itself out
or better still, sinks.
593
00:50:59,724 --> 00:51:04,395
You know, it is possible
that you might enjoy it, and thank me.
594
00:51:06,356 --> 00:51:08,983
Don't dress betrayal up as a favor.
595
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:22,163
Better go. Can't stand around chatting.
596
00:51:30,797 --> 00:51:32,298
Your majesty.
597
00:51:32,882 --> 00:51:34,926
Will you be back late?
598
00:51:40,723 --> 00:51:42,100
What is this?
599
00:51:42,183 --> 00:51:44,269
Can you please move it?
600
00:51:44,352 --> 00:51:45,395
Thank you.
601
00:51:48,022 --> 00:51:50,275
I'll be right with you, Cecil.
602
00:52:00,910 --> 00:52:02,328
Good afternoon.
603
00:52:02,412 --> 00:52:04,372
Thank you, your majesty.
604
00:52:26,561 --> 00:52:31,774
Britain and the west despise arabs.
605
00:52:32,734 --> 00:52:36,988
Prime minister Eden
thinks he can insult us.
606
00:52:37,447 --> 00:52:39,657
You can leave now, thank you.
607
00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:43,494
We will fight to the
last drop of our blood...
608
00:54:17,839 --> 00:54:19,715
Try standing up, ma'am.
609
00:54:53,416 --> 00:54:55,042
That's it, there.
610
00:54:55,793 --> 00:55:00,923
All hail sage lady,
whom a grateful isle hath blessed.
611
00:55:02,258 --> 00:55:05,678
Not moving, not breathing.
612
00:55:06,053 --> 00:55:11,017
Our very own goddess. Glorious gloriana.
613
00:55:12,894 --> 00:55:15,480
Forgetting Elizabeth windsor now.
614
00:55:15,563 --> 00:55:20,151
Now only Elizabeth Regina. Yes.
