1
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,960
look at how the great problems of the

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,880
queen and the monarchy in her lifetime

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,920
have been all about love and marriage

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,920
and sex

5
00:00:21,519 --> 00:00:25,278
the question a lot of people here in

6
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:28,760
britain are asking this morning is

7
00:00:25,278 --> 00:00:28,759
where's the queen

8
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:40,320
it's like being brought up in a

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,679
monastery with glass walls everyone can

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,000
look in

11
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:48,878
and every moment of weakness it'll all

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,878
be seen and exposed and ridiculed

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,759
the red lights off we are interviewing

14
00:00:52,878 --> 00:00:58,399
larry adler bringing to prince we are

15
00:00:55,759 --> 00:01:02,718
interviewing commander michael agustin

16
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,719
into the year in lady janet mary

17
00:01:07,438 --> 00:01:12,879
for the first time in her reign the

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,118
queen put family before duty

19
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:17,519
we could now be witnessing the end of

20
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:21,959
the monarchy and the reigning queen

21
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:21,959
could possibly be the last

22
00:02:07,118 --> 00:02:11,840
she was being the princess

23
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:14,400
and working

24
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
very hard

25
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,679
he was still in the navy

26
00:02:18,878 --> 00:02:24,799
now in our innocence we thought this was

27
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:28,318
going to go on for a very long time

28
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,319
after all the king was quite young

29
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:35,800
there might have been 40 more years as

30
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,800
princess

31
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:53,759
when we were on that commonwealth tour

32
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,400
and we were in kenya and the people of

33
00:02:53,759 --> 00:03:00,280
kenya having the wedding present in the

34
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,280
little cigar a lot

35
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:14,079
we had a day out there to do to adjust

36
00:03:12,318 --> 00:03:17,119
and rest and do things prince philip

37
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:20,000
went i went to sleep in a little room

38
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:23,840
that was off to one side

39
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,479
the queen was at a desk writing letter's

40
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,560
phone rang my colleague

41
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:30,318
said mike there's a

42
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,560
ghastly rumor going around that the king

43
00:03:30,318 --> 00:03:34,079
has died

44
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,680
and they used it amongst all the press

45
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,280
people there and they were saying that

46
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,120
they'd heard

47
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,598
so i said well

48
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,878
martin that's frightening but i cannot

49
00:03:41,598 --> 00:03:45,039
do a thing

50
00:03:42,878 --> 00:03:46,719
on a rumor like that

51
00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:48,400
i mean i just won't do anything and he

52
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:50,318
said no i'm not suggesting he should

53
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,000
darn went the phone

54
00:03:50,318 --> 00:03:54,158
i saw a radio

55
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,719
on the shelf above me

56
00:03:54,158 --> 00:03:59,598
and there's a door open to where the

57
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:01,598
queen is sitting so i shut the door and

58
00:03:59,598 --> 00:04:03,919
switched on the radio

59
00:04:01,598 --> 00:04:06,878
and hunted about the bbc and then i

60
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:06,878
could hear the bell

61
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,878
of um

62
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:13,200
big ben

63
00:04:10,878 --> 00:04:16,959
i thought we need god

64
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:16,959
so my hair stood up a little bit more

65
00:04:17,358 --> 00:04:21,918
this is london

66
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,840
it is with the greatest sorrow that we

67
00:04:21,918 --> 00:04:26,240
make the following announcement

68
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,519
at 10 45 today

69
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,199
february the 6th 1952

70
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,839
that the king

71
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:36,879
passed peacefully away in his sleep

72
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,879
earlier this morning

73
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,759
and uh that was that so

74
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,400
there was drought into where prince

75
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:45,280
william was sleeping and told him

76
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:47,758
his

77
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:52,478
first reaction was one of

78
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,479
almost there's a huge way to hit him

79
00:04:53,918 --> 00:04:57,719
and he just stood there

80
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:01,758
silently in thought

81
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,478
the implications of the fact that she's

82
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,439
becoming the queen

83
00:05:04,478 --> 00:05:07,120
and then he

84
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:10,680
straightened himself up and he went in

85
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,680
to tell the queen

86
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,600
and she was

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,478
in you know weeping desperately for the

88
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,479
loss of her father

89
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:25,839
they walked up and down together

90
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,839
very close

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,800
and then she strengthened up

92
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,720
fully uh conscious of the fact that she

93
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,720
was queen

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,360
and that she must tend to that affair

95
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,360
immediately

96
00:05:47,918 --> 00:05:53,198
and she went into the desk that she'd

97
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:54,719
been working on and started to send all

98
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:56,800
these telegrams off around the

99
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,160
commonwealth and to

100
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,160
friendly countries like the united

101
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,160
states

102
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:12,079
there was no time then for her

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,638
if she had wanted to

104
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:14,639
to grieve

105
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,120
and a very typical reaction actually she

106
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,599
said oh i'm so sorry

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,160
it means we forgot

108
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,160
to go home

109
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,479
as the plane was about to touch down at

110
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:33,519
london airport

111
00:06:30,478 --> 00:06:35,519
and the prime minister winston churchill

112
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:38,079
and my parents that you've noticed of

113
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:40,399
johnston and all the receiving lines of

114
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:43,680
the cabinet were drawn up there

115
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:43,679
in their black clothes

116
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,400
and she sort of leans across and looks

117
00:06:45,918 --> 00:06:51,680
out and says oh god they sent the

118
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,879
hearses meaning that instead of her car

119
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,079
one of the big

120
00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:57,439
black cars

121
00:06:54,079 --> 00:07:01,120
and somehow the way she said when you

122
00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:02,560
this 25 year old realized that the

123
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,800
end of her

124
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,598
private life had come

125
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,598
and that for the rest of her life

126
00:07:07,598 --> 00:07:12,759
she would be about it bigger don't they

127
00:07:09,598 --> 00:07:12,759
should die

128
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:33,840
i asked you all

129
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:36,639
whatever your religion

130
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:39,359
to pray for me on the day of my

131
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,360
coronation

132
00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:44,318
and as the storms of cheering surge with

133
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,919
the approaching procession along the

134
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:50,879
river here in contrast the abbey holds

135
00:07:47,918 --> 00:07:54,560
its ancient peace

136
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:56,639
i think what changed for the queen

137
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,639
at the moment that she succeeded her

138
00:07:56,639 --> 00:08:01,038
father

139
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,519
was the sense that

140
00:08:01,038 --> 00:08:06,399
she was on her own

141
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:09,560
i think that that's what really changed

142
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,560
for her

143
00:08:21,918 --> 00:08:28,478
she did have the enormous advantage of

144
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:30,878
being trained by her own father and i

145
00:08:28,478 --> 00:08:33,679
think she must have enjoyed those

146
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:37,360
training sessions with papa because it

147
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:41,679
was something so special between those

148
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,918
two nobody else has it

149
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:47,679
i remember once saying to me that

150
00:08:43,918 --> 00:08:50,799
my father told me i must always remember

151
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:52,958
that whatever i've said or did to anyone

152
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:55,359
that they would remember it

153
00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:58,079
so that if i show disapproval they will

154
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,399
remember that i showed disapproval

155
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,519
therefore i i think she's very very

156
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:05,679
careful

157
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,879
not to give any sort of impression that

158
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:11,639
might be

159
00:09:06,879 --> 00:09:11,639
construed of disapproval

160
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:43,719
the duke of edinburgh comes to vow

161
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,720
lifelong allegiance to his queen

162
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,958
she's the queen

163
00:09:59,919 --> 00:10:04,838
and he

164
00:10:00,958 --> 00:10:04,838
performs as the husband

165
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,399
so what does the husband do

166
00:10:39,278 --> 00:10:42,240
elizabeth

167
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,240
as princess and queen

168
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,560
has always been

169
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,560
guided by her sense of duty

170
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:53,039
but it's one of the extraordinary things

171
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,720
about the queen is that

172
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:57,278
she fell in love

173
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,278
and married just about the first man she

174
00:10:57,278 --> 00:11:00,278
met

175
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:14,240
my father happened to be there when the

176
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:15,519
king and queen took the two girls to

177
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,120
dartmouth

178
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,879
when i think

179
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,639
princess elizabeth was only about 12

180
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:23,200
years old and

181
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:25,439
as prince philip was

182
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,640
almost the senior cadet

183
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,399
and of course this absolute greek god

184
00:11:28,639 --> 00:11:34,240
and i think that the princess fell

185
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,240
headlong enough with him at that moment

186
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,679
the queen was too young nobody talked

187
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:41,200
about

188
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,359
falling in love

189
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,759
and remaining in love with that person

190
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,480
for the rest of her life i mean she was

191
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,480
a

192
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,480
child

193
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,039
but clearly he made a great impression

194
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:57,399
on her and the romance if you like

195
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:57,399
developed sort of rather gradually

196
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:16,639
now it caused her parents

197
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,519
great anxiety

198
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:21,039
what parent wouldn't be anxious about a

199
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,039
daughter

200
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:26,159
who wants to marry the very first man

201
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:26,159
she's fallen in love with

202
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000
it was a matter of her personal

203
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,078
happiness it was a matter of the

204
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,078
stability of the crown

205
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:38,639
her parents in fact while accepting

206
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,759
philip and having philip because he was

207
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,159
after all a member of the family to stay

208
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:46,319
wouldn't let her actually get engaged

209
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:48,639
until she was over 21

210
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,800
several years after she wanted

211
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:53,519
because you know she wasn't just taking

212
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:56,399
on the man she thought she loved she was

213
00:12:53,519 --> 00:13:00,399
taking on the man who had to shoulder

214
00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:00,399
almost half the burden of the monarchy

215
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,079
well i was this back to the party the

216
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,759
night before the wedding

217
00:13:08,078 --> 00:13:13,120
the princess delivered

218
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:15,360
he was scared his face was white

219
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,519
this man just began to realize what he

220
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:21,839
was getting into

221
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,839
and now he finally doesn't like it

222
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,720
it was very much a conventional

223
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:53,278
british

224
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,759
household he was very much the man of a

225
00:13:53,278 --> 00:13:58,078
family he took the decisions

226
00:13:55,759 --> 00:14:00,958
she looked up to him in that private

227
00:13:58,078 --> 00:14:03,439
life obviously as princess she had a lot

228
00:14:00,958 --> 00:14:06,000
of visual things to do but they were

229
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:10,279
still able with these two small children

230
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,278
to have this family group

231
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,320
prince philippe was basically a man

232
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:35,759
and he was a big man

233
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,760
and he was a man's man too

234
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:45,000
i think

235
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,000
there must have been marriage

236
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:51,039
when it would have been

237
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:51,039
pretty heavy for him to take

238
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:58,559
this extremely active

239
00:14:55,679 --> 00:15:00,479
enthusiastic young man who's suffering

240
00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:03,119
advice is so life is going to be taken

241
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,800
away from him and probably thinking

242
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,198
he'll become a yes man for the rest of

243
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:07,198
his life

244
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:14,799
that's really devastated their lives

245
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,799
actually it's america

246
00:15:17,278 --> 00:15:23,120
could you tell me

247
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:26,000
what is your job in your own mind

248
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,240
well i've got one i'm self-employed

249
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,799
but you must have some clear idea of

250
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,839
what role you fulfill

251
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,838
in modern society

252
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,560
very difficult to answer

253
00:15:57,839 --> 00:16:03,519
the queen can't be

254
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:05,519
the wife anymore the mother she really

255
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,759
had very little time to be with her

256
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:09,759
children so prince philip

257
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:12,320
in a way sort of became the house

258
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,919
husband and he was the one that

259
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,440
looked after the children not actually

260
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:18,319
physically looked after them but he

261
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320
organized them

262
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,320
when she became queen they would see her

263
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:28,879
perhaps for half an hour in the morning

264
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,399
nine o'clock for half an hour and then

265
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:32,559
she would go off

266
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:34,958
for a week maybe a month maybe several

267
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:36,559
months but in a good week she might be

268
00:16:34,958 --> 00:16:38,879
there in the evening and go up to see

269
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:40,638
them having their baths and sit on a

270
00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:43,679
little guilt chair which will be brought

271
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:45,440
in by a lackey not take part in bath

272
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:48,239
time or splashing or anything like that

273
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,839
but just sit there rather and easily and

274
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,839
then dash away after half an hour

275
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,958
i don't think it was you know in that

276
00:16:57,278 --> 00:17:00,720
prince phillip and indeed the queen was

277
00:16:58,958 --> 00:17:04,240
significantly different to an awful lot

278
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,240
of upper middle class british parents

279
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,240
since that was the way

280
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,519
behaving you didn't cry in public you

281
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,519
don't cuddle

282
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:13,679
et cetera

283
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:16,720
life may be a lot more civilized but it

284
00:17:13,679 --> 00:17:18,319
wasn't something peculiar to

285
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,360
prince charles's relationship with his

286
00:17:18,318 --> 00:17:20,798
parents

287
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,719
and it wasn't

288
00:17:20,798 --> 00:17:23,918
that anybody was being deliberately

289
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,880
unkind

290
00:17:23,919 --> 00:17:29,360
or cold it was just that was the way you

291
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,039
you did things

292
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,399
what the queen and the dude did with

293
00:17:31,038 --> 00:17:34,480
their children

294
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,160
boarding school that often had strict

295
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:41,279
discipline and didn't always produce

296
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:45,000
rounded human beings emotionally

297
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:45,000
at the end of the process

298
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,119
you know she's really sacrificed her

299
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:51,599
family in a way

300
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,038
duty really what came before personal

301
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:56,359
happiness and she had her work and that

302
00:17:53,038 --> 00:17:56,359
came first

303
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:12,798
elizabeth and her younger sister

304
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,360
margaret were always very close as

305
00:18:12,798 --> 00:18:16,798
children but both of them

306
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,199
knew

307
00:18:16,798 --> 00:18:22,639
that in the end

308
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,640
elizabeth would be on the throne

309
00:18:23,679 --> 00:18:28,960
and princess margaret would need to find

310
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:33,880
a role for herself i don't think she

311
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,880
ever really settled to that to be honest

312
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,759
the arrival of princess margaret and her

313
00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:48,960
husband is greeted with a cheers the

314
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:50,558
crowd

315
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,160
the flashing lights

316
00:18:50,558 --> 00:18:56,279
and nervous children

317
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,279
dignified bedlam rings

318
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,360
most adults remember margaret growing up

319
00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:07,038
with her sister and the two children

320
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:10,279
were as loved by americans as they were

321
00:19:07,038 --> 00:19:10,279
by britons

322
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,119
the british and european press has tried

323
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,839
to make margaret the subject of romance

324
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,199
with 29 year old rodney lewellen but

325
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:33,119
despite pictures of them in the

326
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,798
caribbean together there has been little

327
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:38,119
substance to back up the perennial

328
00:19:34,798 --> 00:19:38,119
gossip mongers

329
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,520
queen elizabeth has ruled out divorce

330
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,360
for her sister margaret instead the 45

331
00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:56,240
year old princess may obtain a legal

332
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,240
separation from her husband lord snowden

333
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,000
they've been married for 16 years but 10

334
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,079
of those years have reportedly been

335
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,759
stormy and recent stories of princess

336
00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:06,159
margaret's involvement with a 28 year

337
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:07,919
old jet setter named roddy llewellyn

338
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,160
provide motivation for the current

339
00:20:07,919 --> 00:20:11,919
separation talk

340
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,640
divorce is a thorny subject for the

341
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:15,640
british royal family

342
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:31,439
she was a divorcee i think and the quest

343
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:33,119
whether it was

344
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,720
appropriate for the

345
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,678
king of england

346
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:39,919
to be

347
00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:39,919

to carry the heavy burden of

358
00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:10,320
responsibility without the help and

359
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:14,760

park corner

372
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,158
when elizabeth heard

00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:01,519
all the noise of the

374
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:04,720
cheering

375
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:05,679
when george became king

377
00:22:05,679 --> 00:22:12,640

00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,480
the excitement was and footman told her

00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:33,399
queen and she said yes someday

386
00:22:28,558 --> 00:22:33,399
princess margaret said poor you

387
00:22:44,159 --> 00:22:48,799
princess margaret has been leading an

388
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,440
active and for royalty a somewhat

389
00:22:48,798 --> 00:22:53,519
untraditional social life

390
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:56,640
now england is intrigued by the rumor

391
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:59,679
that margaret has fallen in love

392
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,919
the man is peter townsend a war hero a

393
00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:04,480
captain in the raf

394
00:23:01,919 --> 00:23:06,799
townsend however has been once divorced

395
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,679
and powerful social and religious forces

396
00:23:06,798 --> 00:23:14,679
are marshaled against the romance

397
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:14,679
still margaret wants to marry townsend

398
00:23:30,558 --> 00:23:34,960
invited me to dinner and we talked about

399
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,239
this

400
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,558
very disturbing situation obviously

401
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,960
but the queen i shall never forget her

402
00:23:40,558 --> 00:23:45,918
reaction was one of great sympathy

403
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,798
although no doubt she harmed the

404
00:23:45,919 --> 00:23:51,200
greatest anxiety i expect

405
00:23:48,798 --> 00:23:53,679
marriage seemed to be the least likely

406
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,679
solution

407
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:58,240
the queen was in conflict because as

408
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,319
head of the church of england she could

409
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,400
not really permit her sister

410
00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,558
to marry a divorced man

411
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,159
but as the sister of princess margaret

412
00:24:04,558 --> 00:24:08,879
she obviously was very keen that

413
00:24:06,159 --> 00:24:11,760
princess margaret should be happy

414
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,760
and it wasn't easy

415
00:24:12,159 --> 00:24:15,278
i don't think for a moment that the

416
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,278
queen said to her listen here margaret

417
00:24:15,278 --> 00:24:19,599
you can't do that

418
00:24:17,278 --> 00:24:22,319
the queen would have been told by

419
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:25,918
advisers that it was not on

420
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:25,918
very painful for all concerned

421
00:24:27,919 --> 00:24:31,440
it's sometimes been misreported that it

422
00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:32,720
was the queen that said that this

423
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,038
relationship couldn't be allowed

424
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,960
actually she was devastated that when

425
00:24:35,038 --> 00:24:39,119
push came to shove it was the government

426
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,679
who said actually we can't allow you to

427
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,678
marry this man

428
00:24:55,038 --> 00:24:59,119
the following statement has just been

429
00:24:56,798 --> 00:25:01,440
issued from clan's house by her royal

430
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,119
highness princess margaret

431
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,679
i would like it to be known that i have

432
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,599
decided not to marry a group captain

433
00:25:05,679 --> 00:25:09,759
peter townsend

434
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:12,079
mindful of the church's teaching that

435
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:14,400
christian marriage is indissoluble and

436
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:15,678
conscious of my duty to the commonwealth

437
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,960
i have resolved to put their

438
00:25:15,679 --> 00:25:19,919
consideration

439
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,919
before any others

440
00:25:25,278 --> 00:25:29,440
i think she had a lot of sympathy for

441
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,359
margaret because after all the queen

442
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,400
knew what true love was she had married

443
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,399
the man of her dreams

444
00:25:35,278 --> 00:25:38,720
i don't envy the royals their life at

445
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,798
all really they have to live under the

446
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,640
glare of publicity all the time

447
00:25:40,798 --> 00:25:44,558
everything they do is reported and

448
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,960
quoted and criticized

449
00:25:44,558 --> 00:25:49,519
but princess margaret she had a really

450
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,200
difficult life

451
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:53,359
i think this is one of the tragedies of

452
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,200
her life that she never knew who she was

453
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,959
never knew who she was supposed to be

454
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:01,240
and she left it to others not least the

455
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,240
media to work it out for her

456
00:26:14,558 --> 00:26:17,558
oh

457
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,759
it is a scene of chaos and destruction

458
00:26:39,679 --> 00:26:44,159
this castle dating back to the ninth

459
00:26:41,759 --> 00:26:48,599
century the fire started in the private

460
00:26:44,159 --> 00:26:48,600
chapel miatas and george's fall

461
00:26:59,038 --> 00:27:04,480
the events read like a tabloid redo of

462
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:07,200
old testament curses plague and

463
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,679
pestilence have been replaced by fire

464
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,720
rumor and outright scandal rocking the

465
00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:14,640
british royal family

466
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,319
with three broken marriages among her

467
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,400
four children the queen's efforts to

468
00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:19,759
promote an image of family harmony are

469
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,240
now under the

470
00:27:19,759 --> 00:27:22,240
strain

471
00:27:23,278 --> 00:27:27,599
look at how the great problems of the

472
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,278
queen and the monarchy in her lifetime

473
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:30,639
have been all about love and marriage

474
00:27:29,278 --> 00:27:33,519
and sex

475
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:37,840
the abdication

476
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,839
princess margaret peter townsend later

477
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,038
and that creates problems

478
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,199
buckingham palace has condemned the

479
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,120
publication of a series of newspaper

480
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,640
photographs of the duchess of york and

481
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,639
the texan businessman john bryan

482
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,600
i just feel very sad i think it's very

483
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:15,679
sad when two people who

484
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:18,639
appear to be so happily married quite

485
00:28:15,679 --> 00:28:18,640
suddenly divorced

486
00:28:25,599 --> 00:28:30,158
royal composure collapsed as princess

487
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:32,720
diana under extraordinary media

488
00:28:30,159 --> 00:28:34,640
attention broke down in tears since a

489
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,120
book detailing her unhappiness was

490
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,679
published last week the book claims

491
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:43,959
diana's marriage became so miserable

492
00:28:39,679 --> 00:28:43,960
that she tried to take her life

493
00:28:55,398 --> 00:28:59,119
1992

494
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,360
is not a year

495
00:28:59,119 --> 00:29:04,639
on which i shall look back with

496
00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:06,639
undiluted pleasure

497
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,960
in the words of one of my more

498
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:12,640
sympathetic correspondence

499
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,640
it has turned out to be

500
00:29:13,759 --> 00:29:16,640
new institution

501
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:17,839
city

502
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,120
monarchy

503
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:21,359
whatever

504
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:23,519
should expect to be free from the

505
00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:24,839
scrutiny of those who give it their

506
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:29,519
loyalty and

507
00:29:24,839 --> 00:29:32,000
support not to mention those who don't

508
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:35,200
but we are all part of the same fabric

509
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,640
of our national society

510
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,558
and that scrutiny by one part of another

511
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:44,000
can be just as effective

512
00:29:40,558 --> 00:29:48,158
if it is made with a touch of gentleness

513
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,159
good humor and understanding

514
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,759
as a result of the occurrences over the

515
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,600
course of the past several months and

516
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:59,440
the pushing of the self-destruct button

517
00:29:57,599 --> 00:30:02,079
by the monarchy

518
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,798
that we could now be witnessing the end

519
00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:09,240
of the monarchy and the reigning queen

520
00:30:04,798 --> 00:30:09,240
could possibly be the last

521
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,200
britain's queen elizabeth said she has

522
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,519
had it it's time for prince charles and

523
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,360
princess diana to officially end their

524
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:21,200
troubled marriage

525
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:23,278
the prince who made his televised

526
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,558
admission of adultery over a year ago is

527
00:30:23,278 --> 00:30:26,640
said to agree

528
00:30:24,558 --> 00:30:28,639
the princess who made her televised

529
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,640
admission of adultery a few weeks ago is

530
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:34,600
said to be devastated and will give her

531
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,600
a response after the holidays

532
00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:46,959
the queen actually tried to

533
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,278
bring diana under her wing but diana was

534
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,278
very reluctant

535
00:30:55,599 --> 00:31:01,719
obviously charles couldn't handle it and

536
00:30:57,919 --> 00:31:01,720
neither could the queen

537
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,360
the princess of wales embroiled now in a

538
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:19,759
fresh round of personal controversy the

princess of wales has died in a car

564
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:37,599

00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,240
the question a lot of people here in

00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,159
britain are asking this morning is

568
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,480
where's the queen

569
00:32:44,159 --> 00:32:48,320
the oceans of flowers from diana's

570
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,399
mourners are piling up in front of

571
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:52,398
buckingham palace but they haven't been

572
00:32:50,398 --> 00:32:54,158
acknowledged and unlike the rest of

573
00:32:52,398 --> 00:32:56,558
britain where the flags are at

574
00:32:54,159 --> 00:32:59,200
half-staff in diana's memory there's no

575
00:32:56,558 --> 00:33:01,519
flag flying over the palace nobody's

576
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,519
home

577
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:11,519
when princess of wales died the queen

578
00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:14,079
was up at belmore with the two little

579
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:16,399
princes whose mother had been killed

580
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:18,079
and yet she was passed

581
00:33:16,398 --> 00:33:20,079
for not leaving there

582
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:21,599
they're coming to london to mourn in the

583
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:24,759
streets with people who never even let

584
00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:24,759
the people

585
00:33:25,679 --> 00:33:29,440
she had two grandchildren

586
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:31,278
he must be very caught up with their

587
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,720
mothers one such dead

588
00:33:31,278 --> 00:33:34,798
to

589
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:38,880
rush them down to london

590
00:33:34,798 --> 00:33:38,879
for the height of this big it seemed

591
00:33:42,558 --> 00:33:45,558
palace

592
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,200
i'm now looking through the walls of the

593
00:34:13,358 --> 00:34:17,199
shattered school into the main hall

594
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:19,279
which is a massive people of firemen and

595
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:21,279
policemen

596
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:25,480
mothers fathers

597
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,480
brothers and sisters and everybody

598
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,878
this south wales disaster

599
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,878
it's now feared that nearly 200 lives

600
00:34:42,878 --> 00:34:49,358
were lost when the cold tip at abervan

601
00:34:44,878 --> 00:34:50,878
near martha tidwell slid forward today

602
00:34:49,358 --> 00:34:53,119
one of the few regrets that the queen

603
00:34:50,878 --> 00:34:55,838
has about her reign was that she felt

604
00:34:53,119 --> 00:35:00,880
that she reacted too slowly in wales at

605
00:34:55,838 --> 00:35:00,880
a place called abbavan back in the 1960s

606
00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:04,719
there's always been a controversy and

607
00:35:03,358 --> 00:35:06,960
criticism

608
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,279
about the queen not actually coming

609
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,920
earlier to abervan or immediately to

610
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,839
abervan because obviously lord snowden

611
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:18,400
was the first royal to actually come to

612
00:35:14,838 --> 00:35:20,719
abervan princess mark couldn't

613
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:25,119
understand why i wanted to go down

614
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:26,719
i just did you know but i i must

615
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:28,559
and i stayed there

616
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,639
just going into people i was just making

617
00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:33,199
cups of tea

618
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:37,239
they wanted to talk but they were in a

619
00:35:33,199 --> 00:35:37,239
state of terrible shock

620
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:59,119
so for the queen i think her decision

621
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:01,199
not to come at that time wasn't probably

622
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:04,400
the right decision for

623
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:06,559
surviving people and i think to this day

624
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:10,119
the queen actually had a bit of guilt

625
00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:10,119
about that herself

626
00:36:21,358 --> 00:36:26,078
the queen stood there as a mother

627
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,838
knowing that had circumstances been

628
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:29,680
somewhat different

629
00:36:27,838 --> 00:36:31,199
her child's name might be fastened to

630
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:33,199
the sandbag

631
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:37,960
to mark his place of honor

632
00:36:33,199 --> 00:36:37,960
in death's final ceremonial occasion

633
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:47,519
i know with all the tragedies in the

634
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:49,759
world i think abervan has been the main

635
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:54,440
one that's touched the queen forever and

636
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,440
a day really until the day she dies

637
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:06,719
queen elizabeth and the rest of the

638
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,399
royal family are on summer holiday as

639
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,399
usual in scotland

640
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,639
and apart from a customary trip to

641
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,320
church on sunday the queens made no

642
00:37:12,639 --> 00:37:16,639
public appearance and no public

643
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:21,240
statement but to those who are close to

644
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:21,239
the royal family that's no surprise

645
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,679
and if ever the monarchy was it was in

646
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,920
those

647
00:37:25,679 --> 00:37:29,440
48 hours when they were stuck up in

648
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,680
balmoral

649
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:35,480
when the country wanted the queen in

650
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:35,480
london and grieving

651
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:56,560
on the eve of princess diana's funeral

652
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,400
the royal family is returning to london

653
00:37:56,559 --> 00:38:00,639
hoping and perhaps to quell some of the

654
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,320
criticism of their actions since diana's

655
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:05,118
death

656
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,280
the queen's convoy arrived in london as

657
00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:09,280
it swept up to buckingham palace the

658
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,440
limousine halted at the gates and the

659
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:14,960
queen of prince philip got out to take

660
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:17,838
in the mass of floral tributes

661
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,920
the queen was actually extremely nervous

662
00:38:17,838 --> 00:38:21,920
because she could feel the hostility and

663
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,240
actually she heard people say oh about

664
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,440
time you've come you know

665
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,118
they can hear an awful lot of things at

666
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,000
the crowd and say and then i think a

667
00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:31,920
woman actually gave her

668
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,838
a bunch of flour and said would you like

669
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,400
me to place it for you and said no mom

670
00:38:33,838 --> 00:38:36,400
it's for you

671
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,280
and that sort of broke the ice it was

672
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,039
that moment

673
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:47,119
and i think suddenly people saw her

674
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:48,639
instead of feeling all prickly and angry

675
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:50,559
they suddenly thought my goodness this

676
00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:54,039
is a grandmother and she's got to deal

677
00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:54,039
with all this

678
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:09,280
queen elizabeth will speak publicly

679
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:11,920
today about the death of diana princess

680
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,920
of wales joining me from london is npr's

681
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,240
michael goldfarb to talk about the

682
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,400
extraordinary move by the queen to speak

683
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,838
to her subjects any idea what you will

684
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,920
say today

685
00:39:19,838 --> 00:39:23,838
it will be a very carefully crafted

686
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,838
speech because people will listen to it

687
00:39:23,838 --> 00:39:28,639
with great interest

688
00:39:25,838 --> 00:39:30,559
since last sunday's dreadful news

689
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:32,319
we have seen throughout britain and

690
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:34,719
around the world

691
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,039
an overwhelming expression of sadness of

692
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,838
diana's death

693
00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:41,599
so what i see to you now as your queen

694
00:39:39,838 --> 00:39:44,719
and as a grandmother

695
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:47,119
i say from my heart

696
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,959
first i want to pay tribute to diana

697
00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:51,119
myself

698
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,720
she was an exceptional and gifted human

699
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:54,800
being

700
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,199
in good times and bad

701
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,320
she never lost her capacity to smile and

702
00:39:57,199 --> 00:40:00,639
laugh

703
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,880
nor to inspire others with her warmth

704
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:05,118
and kindness

705
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:08,800
i admired and respected her for her

706
00:40:05,119 --> 00:40:11,358
energy and commitment to others

707
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,640
i hope that tomorrow we can all wherever

708
00:40:11,358 --> 00:40:15,119
we are

709
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:16,159
join in expressing our grief of diana's

710
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:20,800
loss

711
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:20,799
and gratitude for her all too short life

712
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,240
i thought she said everything she should

713
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,000
have said i can't think of anything that

714
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:29,639
she left out until

715
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,639
i think it's completely

716
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,519
and they're gathering now at the

717
00:40:45,119 --> 00:40:47,519
entrance

718
00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:53,599
this is an extraordinary

719
00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:55,440
view we're seeing here we've never

720
00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:57,599
as far as i'm aware seen the royal

721
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:01,159
family standing like this at the gates

722
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:01,160
of buckingham palace

723
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,199
at the funeral the queen was very

724
00:41:10,318 --> 00:41:17,199
dignified and she bowed her head when

725
00:41:13,199 --> 00:41:17,199
diana's coffin went past

726
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,920
and

727
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:25,679
it was

728
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,680
spectacularly done

729
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,359
i for one believe there are lessons to

730
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:35,118
be drawn from her life

731
00:41:33,358 --> 00:41:38,000
and from the extraordinary and moving

732
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:40,318
reaction to her death

733
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,760
it is a chance to show to the whole

734
00:41:40,318 --> 00:41:46,920
world the british nation united in grief

735
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,920
and respect

736
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,880
mr speaker today her majesty the queen

737
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,598
becomes the country's longest reigning

738
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:04,000
monarch and it is of course typical of

739
00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:06,160
her selfless sense of service that she

740
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,039
would have us treat this day just like

741
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:11,519
any other but mr speaker while i rarely

742
00:42:09,039 --> 00:42:13,679
advocate disobeying her majesty least of

743
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:15,599
all in our own parliament i do think

744
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:18,239
it's right that today we should stop and

745
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:20,640
take a moment as a nation to mark this

746
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,879
historic milestone and to thank her

747
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:24,879
majesty for the extraordinary service

748
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,358
that she's given to our country over

749
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:31,039
more than six decades

750
00:42:27,358 --> 00:42:33,358
63 years and 216 days she's worked with

751
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:35,838
12 prime ministers six archbishops of

752
00:42:33,358 --> 00:42:37,279
canterbury nine cabinet secretaries

753
00:42:35,838 --> 00:42:39,599
she's answered three and a half million

754
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,119
pieces of correspondence send over a

755
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:43,200
hundred thousand telegrams to

756
00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:45,119
centenarians across the commonwealth and

757
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:46,239
met more people than any other monarch

758
00:42:45,119 --> 00:42:47,680
in history

759
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,199
she has served this country with

760
00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:54,719
enduring grace dignity and decency and

761
00:42:51,199 --> 00:42:54,719
long nation continue to do so

762
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,640
the important thing to remember about

763
00:42:56,318 --> 00:43:00,559
the early upbringing of princess

764
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:02,559
elizabeth was that although she was a

765
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:03,519
princess she was not in line for the

766
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:08,000
throne

767
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:08,880
and i believe this gave her a modesty

768
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,199
that

769
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,200
people respect

770
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,920
i think the only thing she might allow

771
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:19,598
herself to feel

772
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,920
is to say

773
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:25,119
to her father

774
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,119
look i've done it

775
00:43:25,599 --> 00:43:29,359
i've been queen for such a long time and

776
00:43:27,679 --> 00:43:32,399
i've tried to do it

777
00:43:29,358 --> 00:43:32,400
the way you taught me

778
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,440
there is a motel which has been born by

779
00:43:37,358 --> 00:43:41,119
many of my ancestors

780
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,440
a noble motto

781
00:43:41,119 --> 00:43:45,440
i serve

782
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,400
i should like to make their dedication

783
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,800
now

784
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,200
it is very simple

785
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,880
i declare before you all

786
00:43:51,199 --> 00:43:55,519
