-The Times of India say
he's unfit for office.

Express India said he's an
immature marriage breaking

liar.

-I always used to look
forward to these state visits.

They're planned so
many months in advance,

it's virtually impossible
to cock them up.

-Well, maybe he
won't cock it up.

-Are you going soft on him?

-No.

-She is, she's
going soft on him.

-Excuse me.

Can we just concentrate on the
Indian state dinner, please?

-Yes, yes, you never know, it
might go according to plan.

-Bastard!

-Vinny, cool it.

-I'm gonna kill him.

-All right, you two,
less with the chitchat.

Back to work.

Come on.

-Yes, chef.

-Very good.

Very good.

What the bloody hell is this?

-Talk to me!

-ruined by a bunch of
bloody lightweights.

-Aye, chef.

-Bloody hell, Vinny.

-You bastard.

-I'll go and get some help.

[THEME MUSIC]

-Your Majesty.

I've just been informed
the Indian president

is coming up the Mel.

-You haven't spotted the
obvious mistake, then.

-Sir?

-I am ready.

Both my sisters are ready.

My brother is ready, but
my mother patently isn't.

-Has her majesty sent word?

-No word, nothing.

The Queen is obviously
intent on embarrassing me.

Nice of her, don't you think?

-What have you done
to upset her, Bro?

-Why is it my fault?

-Seriously, you don't know?

[PHONE RINGING]

-Sorry, sir.

OK, I don't care who it
is, but someone right now

is going to go and sort
my mother out, yes?

-I'll go, sir.

-I've got the state
banquet in two days time,

and I'm this close
to walking out.

I'm telling ya, I'm used to
working with professionals.

Half the staff here came
straight of the bloody ark.

A little service, please, Dopey?

-We want to do everything
we can to facilitate

your work, Mr. Bishop.

-Yeah, well you
could have fooled me.

-The smooth running
of this state visit

is of paramount
importance to us.

So do you want to press
charges against Mr. Ganatra?

-I just want him
sacked, all right?

And if anyone else
steps out of line,

they can go the same bloody way.

-Consider it done.

-Jeremy, is this my
toast and marmalade?

-The King has
appointed a new chef.

He's an ardent fan of
drizzle, apparently.

Out with the old,
in with the new.

-So he didn't have the
decency to come himself?

-Your majesty, the King is with
the Indian party at the moment.

I know he was very much
counting on your support, ma'am.

-Thank you, Jeremy.

I'm being banished
to the royal lodge.

Did you know?

-Banished is a very
strong word, now.

-Tell him I thought--
Tell him I'm very sorry.

He must do the
state visit alone.

-So is the queen making a point?

So it would seem.

We simply have to
capitalize on it.

Hand it over.

What?

Don't be coy, Simon.

All right, all right.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh dear.

I didn't know they made
diamonds that small.

Oh, it's for her, isn't it?

It's your little girlfriend.

-Sweet.

-Thank you.

-Diamonds are forever, Simon.

-Well, so they say, ma'am.

-Simon, my mother has a
soft spot for diamonds.

Star of Gujarat
isn't it beautiful?

-Yes, I know what
it is, Eleanor.

I wore it at your
father's coronation.

Why did you bring this to me?

-I had an appointment
with the crown jeweler.

I had to get my tiara and stuff
sorted out for the banquet.

He'd just finished restoring it.

I thought it might
remind you of Daddy.

-I need reminding of him, do I?

-Not at all.

I'm sorry.

I thought it might lift
your spirits up a bit.

Personally, I just
think Richard's

wrong to send you to Windsor.

This is your home.

The King needs to
start realizing

that his actions
have consequences.

That he's hurting--

-Thank you, darling.

I don't suppose the
Indians would be very happy

if I wore this to
the state visit.

-No, ma'am.

-It's rumored to be
sacred, you know.

-It would be
terribly politically

incorrect of you, ma'am.

[PARTY CHATTER]

-I think we have a problem.

-Her royal highness,
Queen Charlotte.

-Whatever you said to
her, it did the trick.

Thank you.

-Darling.

-Mother.

-Will you wipe that
smile off your face?

There's about to
be one major row.

The diamond the
Queen is wearing.

The Indians say it's a
divine relic that belongs

to Mother India, not
Mother Charlotte.

The King's got
absolutely no idea.

Like a lamb to the slaughter.

-Yes, of course, how delightful.

Queen Charlotte.

[KNOCKING]

-Yes?

-Sorry, Ian.

This speech just came through
from the foreign office.

It's marked urgent.

-Thank you.

It's the draft speech for
the banquet tomorrow night.

-In which the young King
apologizes for the sins

of the imperial past, and
returns the said diamond?

-Yes, more or less.

-That was fast.

They must be worried.

-Proofread it, will you Abby?

And then go through
it with his majesty.

-It's a shame for the
Queen though, isn't it?

I mean, if I had a
diamond like that,

I'd definitely want to keep it.

-You're quite right, Lucy.

Let's let her keep it.

Let's ignore the fact that
Britannia no longer rules

the waves, that we
depend on Indian money

to keep the economy afloat,
that a car plant in the West

Midlands will close next month
without Indian investment,

1,000 people will lose
their jobs, so what?

-Ian.

-Let's keep the diamond,
have a nice sit down dinner,

and forget what this state
visit is really about.

-Some of us haven't even
been invited to the dinner.

-Yes, thank you, Lucy.

-Ma'am?

Should I call your Doctor?

-There's nothing wrong with her.

-Richard.

-Your majesty.

I'm very sorry, the Queen is
not to be disturbed today.

-Well, I'm very sorry
Jeremy, the Queen is

going to be very
disturbed today.

Go on, out.

Mummy doesn't want
to go to Windsor,

so she thought she'd
completely undermine me, make

me look a fool on
the world stage.

Bravo.

Done a good job.

-I'm sorry what I
did was very wrong.

I had no idea it would
cause such a row.

It was cruel of me.

Unforgivable.

-Look they, they want
the diamond back, mother.

And I'm going to give it back.

-I was 25 when your
father was crowned King.

But I knew nothing of the world.

I was a baby, really.

That dress was so
heavy, I remember.

I could barely-- I
felt so frightened.

I was shaking.

I felt so utterly lonely.

And then your father came
in, gave me the necklace.

He told me the legend.

That the diamond has power, but
must only be worn by a woman.

And as soon as she wears it,
that woman becomes a Queen.

He put it around my neck.

And in that moment
I felt so loved.

I felt like a Queen.

I don't know who I
am anymore, or what

my role is since
your father died.

-You've got to stick
up for yourself, Vinny.

It's not too late.

-I'm just a footman.

His word against mine.

-Well, you can't just go.

What about me and Ruby?

What are we going
to do without ya?

Why did you do it?

You tell him what you told me.

The chef racially abused him.

-Is this true, Vinny?

-Yes, He's a nasty
piece of work.

He's only worked here a
month and nobody likes him.

-This is a very
serious allegation.

-He can't be sacked now, can he?

-You can remain at
the palace, but you'll

be suspended from duty.

But he's innocent.

-He may be innocent,
but he's not

one we're relying on to
cook for 180 guests, is he?

-That is absolute crap.

-We're obliged to this
allegation seriously,

Mr. Bishop.

-You know, I've got
to hand it to him.

As good as that, isn't it?

Calling me a racist
in the middle

of an Indian state visit.

He spotted an opportunity there.

-So you deny it?

-Look, darling.

I'm experienced in the media.

I'm not stupid
enough to be racist.

-Vinny wouldn't lie.

-Oh, look at Tonto.

Follow a good
[INAUDIBLE] to your mate.

That's it, off your
trot, Dame Shirley.

-So you have absolutely
no idea why he hit you?

-Very good, very good.

Why don't we ask the lady?

Ruby.

Was I ever racist
to your boyfriend?

You see?

She should know.

-They have asked me to remind
you that the president's wife

is allergic to wheat,
gluten, and dairy.

It's a shame for you, that.

-Get kicked out of charm
school, did you Ruby?

-Not before they told me how to
avoid tossers like you, Milton.

-Well, it's a bit late
for that, isn't it?

Now, is that it?

Can I get back to
feeding the 5,000?

-Mr. Bishop?

I'm afraid her Majesty likes
her egg boiled for 3.5 minutes

precisely.

No more and no less.

-Give it here.

Unbelievable.

Come on.

-Miss Thomas, her Majesty
the Queen wishes to see you.

-I want to help my son, Abigail.

It may not seem
like it, but I do.

-Yes, ma'am.

-Which is why I'm going to
write a fairy story for Richard

with a very happy ending.

-I'm not sure I
exactly understand.

-I know of a suitable
girl for him,

I just need you to put
it into action for me.

No one need know this came
from me, least of all Richard.

-You want me to match make?

With all due respect, ma'am,
I don't feel comfortable--

-You don't have to be
comfortable with it.

-Right, so on the one hand, the
Indians really want it back.

-Oh, yeah.

I hear there are all
night prayer vigils

going on in temples
in the Gujarat.

-So no real pressure then.

-On the other hand,
there's our mother.

She does love that diamond.

-Yeah, she likes to wear
it a couple of times a year

to a dinner dance type scenario.

-Yeah, because she's
got that turkey wobble

thing going on with her neck.

-Yeah, she does.

-Personally, bro, I think
you've got no choice.

Straight back to the
tower with the Don

and tell those pesky
Indians to rot off.

-Have you all finished?

-But there is a serious
issue here, Rich.

I mean, what possessed her?

-It's happening.

We all knew it would.

The madness of Queen Charlotte.

-OK, that's enough.

-We need to get her
to Windsor, pronto.

-More like sheltered
accommodation, I think.

-Yeah, somewhere secure with
a warden and a panic box.

-I said, that's enough.

-We're only teasing.

Come on.

You know whatever you decide
will be [INAUDIBLE], don't you?

George, come on.

-Eleanor, get off.

-Yes, I was going to call you.

I have written some of it.

I don't know, 10,000 words.

The thing is, Ann.

-Abigail, I need to talk to you.

-I have to go now.

Your majesty.

-Can I have a word
in your office?

-Yes, sir.

-Have you read this?

-The speech for tomorrow, yeah.

-What do you think of it?

-Well, I think it's a bit stiff.

-Yeah, stiff.

I think only my dead
father could do it justice.

-Sir, if you're unhappy
with the speech--

-Abigail, the diamond
belongs to crown, yeah?

So it's my decision
whether to keep it or not.

-Well, strictly
speaking, yes Sir.

But I don't think it
would play very well.

There's a lot at
stake, politically.

-I know what's at stake.

-Is it Queen Charlotte that
you're concerned about, Sir?

-All I know is my father
gave her the diamond,

and whether it was his to give
or not, it was given with some,

I don't know, rough
approximation of love.

And it means an
awful lot to her.

-I'm sorry, sir, I really think
you have to follow your head

and not your heart on this one.

But look, why don't I
take a look at the speech

and try and loosen it up?

Make it a bit more personal.

-Yeah, all right.

Fine.

-Oh, just one last thing, Sir.

I do need to speak to you about
changing your engagements.

-Who am I shaking
hands with this time?

-You have a new 5
o'clock with a, oh,

the honorable Miss
Alice Templeton.

She's here to promote
a new Indian charity.

-Fatty Templeton?

-I hope that's said with
some affection, sir?

-Fatty, she's an old mate.

She's a right laugh.

Brilliant.

That's cheered me up to no end.

-Miss Templeton.

-Hi.

Abigail, is it?

So sorry I'm a bit late.

I've come straight from work.

God, I must look a sight.

-You don't.

-I hate having my photo
taken at the best of times.

Is there somewhere I can change?

-Of course.

-Thanks.

[SNIFFLING]

-The room is ready
for Miss Templeton?

-Yeah, sorry.

-Alastair, would you please show
Miss Templeton to her suite?

Be with you in a minute.

Ruby.

You and Vinny--

-Are finished.

We're finished.

-That's what I thought.

-I just want to say how
sorry I am about all

that silly fuss
over the diamond.

-It's fine.

Richard and I have come
to an agreement over it.

-He's going to keep it for you?

-Smile for the camera, darling.

-Hi, I'm Alice.

Nice to meet you.

-Oh, Alice Templeton.

Good, good, good, good, good.

-Fatty?

God.

She's gone all low
carb all of a sudden.

-You are so posing.

-What?

-You've got an, I am the
King, look on your face.

-Excuse me, Mum.

I'm just going to go be sick.

[WHISPERED CONVERSATION]

-Has she brought us on official
engagement today, is she?

-Oh, no.

it was a last minute
request of the um,

of her charity, Cradle India.

I ran it by the King.

I hope that's all right.

-Genius.

-What?

-Well, look at them.

They're made for each other.

-Jumping the gun, aren't you?

-Nothing like a potential Queen
to make them all love again.

-So, Vinny.

Shall we talk about why
you really hit the chef?

-That was so delicious.

The last time I ate here
it was like school dinners.

-I appointed a new chef.

Nicked him from The Ivy.

-Nice one.

Don't let him go.

I'm sorry about your dad.

-He always had a
soft spot for you.

-I was in India for the funeral.

-Yeah, I hear you've
developed a social conscience

since I last saw you.

-I've always had a
social conscience,

I've just never had the
chance to exercise it.

-So you had a good
time in India?

-Brilliant.

-Well, they obviously
starved you.

-I ate very well
there, thank you.

-No, you look fantastic.

-Thanks.

I've just been very busy.

I've been helping to set
up for this new charity.

We're opening orphanages
for unwanted baby girls.

It's so rewarding, but
also well, you can imagine.

Anyway, I'm back here
trying to raise the funds

for a new orphanage in Madras.

-Good for you, Ali.

I mean it.

-You know, Rich it's
none of my business.

-What?

-The diamond.

You know it has huge religious
and cultural significance

in India.
-Yeah.

Funny enough, I do.

-Well, make sure you
do the right thing.

-I'm trying.

-Good.

Pudding?

Yummy.

-You lied to me, Vin.

-What did you want me to say?

I hit the chef because my
girlfriend cheated on me

and I feel like an
absolute plunker?

-Yes.

-So will I be sacked now?

-Well, you made a
false allegation.

Doesn't look good, Vinny.

-You know my biggest mistake?

Falling in love with
someone who works here.

-What's this?

-It's just a little something.

And you can keep this one.

The Indians aren't interested.

-Is this a joke?

-Um, let me think
about that one.

No.

I thought you could
wear it tonight.

-Are you getting
serious with me?

-It's a big night for
all of us tonight,

and I want you on your toes.

I don't got any time for
pussy footing around.

-Speaking of which, you're late.

-I was busy.

-Get out of my way,
you fat bloody donut.

I'm the one who's busy.

-That man is rude and
a bully and a bigot.

-But not a racist.

Milton Bishop is in the
clear, and our Vinny

will be gone by the morning.

He's won, hasn't he?

-Not yet, he hasn't.

We must convince him that we do
things in a certain way here.

And we can begin tonight.

-At the banquet?

-Out with the new, and
in with the old, I say.

-Yes, my friend.

Oh really?

Rock and Roll.

You have just made my day.

-I have to look my best.

I have to shine tonight.

No, off.

Thank you, Natalie.

It's my mother.

She's definitely
up to something.

-Well, I have some news that
will really cheer you up.

Someone's writing a book
criticising the King.

Saying he's unfit to rule.

Someone in the palace.

-Where did that come from?

-Well, I have my contacts
who have their contacts.

-Do we have any idea who it is?

-Not yet.

-It'll be some minion.

It'll be some backstairs page or
some dowdy lady clod with think

ankles who was in
love with my father.

-Well, whoever it is, I'll
have fun tracking them down.

-Let's keep this
our secret, yeah?

-Yes, of course.

-I tried to keep it
as brief as I could.

-No.

-What is it that
you want to say?

-Maybe I should just wing it.

-No, I'm' afraid a King is
not allowed to just wing it.

-Well, that seems
awfully unfair.

-Now, maybe we can
start the first bit.

-You look very fetching
tonight, Abigail.

-You're changing the subject.

-No, you do.

-Are you saying that I look
bad the rest of the time?

-Shockingly.

-We need to work.

You have to speak in
less than one hour.

-Let's go out to dinner.

-Sir.

Milton Bishop has been slaving
over a hot stove for you--

-I'll pay--

-And there are
200 people waiting

to hang on your every word.

-Well, what if I don't
want to speak to them?

-Well, then they'd be
very disappointed, Sir.

-Come on, look, I'll
take you out dancing.

I'm a very good dancer--
-You're a terrible dancer.

-I'm a really good dancer.

I'll have you know--

-Your Majesty, her
Majesty Queen Charlotte.

-Richard.

-Good evening, mother.

-Majesty.

-Abigail.

-We were just we
were just finalizing

what I should say tonight.

-I'll wait outside, sir.

-No, no please don't.

I shan't disturb your work.

I just wanted to wish you luck.

-Oh.

-And you'll need this.

-Mummy, thank you.

-I know what you should say.

-Yeah?

-You should honor your mother.

Pay tribute to her.

-What, and then give
the diamond back?

-I think you need to do
what you feel is right, sir.

-Oh, my god.

Fatty is so not fat anymore.

-Alice?

-Oh hi.

Eleanor.

How nice to see you again.

Izzy.

George.

-Hey, about the incident
at the pony club,

I never really apologized.

-George, it's fine.

We were what, nine?

-So nice to see you again.

-Alice, how lovely
that you could be here.

Richard needs all the
support he can get right now.

Let me introduce
you to some people.

-George, put your tongue in.

You'll never get her.

-It's not fair.

Richard always gets
first dibs on everything.

-I think you're going
to storm it, Sir.

-Your majesty, Princess
Eleanor is here to see you.

-Thanks Abigail, You're a star.

-Enjoy it, sir.

-Hey, I was just coming.

-Oh my god, Rich.

You will not believe what
mum has been up to now.

We've just been laughing
about it down there.

She's trying to marry you off.

To Fatty Templeton.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

But she can't
resist it, can she?

She's a control freak.

If I were you, I would put her
firmly in her place tonight.

-Come on you bunch of
pansies, I want every one

exactly the same.

-A masterpiece, Mr. Bishop.

Only one problem.

The plate.

You used the Rockingham service.

The King always insists
on the gold service

at a state banquet.

Did the yeoman of the
silver [INAUDIBLE]

did not tell you that?

[INAUDIBLE]

-You wore it.

-I did.

-It looks beautiful.

-Thank you.

-Oh, so here she is.

The famous Abby.

You've got my private secretary
in quite a tizzy, haven't you?

-I'm sorry, your Highness?

-I think he thinks it's love.

Poor lamb.

Now I've told him I'm quite
willing to tolerate it,

so long as he keeps his eye
on the ball, so to speak.

Isn't that right, Simon?

-Is that some kind of threat?

-Oh, don't worry about it.

Listen, there's something
you should know.

Someone in the palace is writing
a book criticizing the king.

-What?

-Yeah.

-If you care to take
your seats now, please?

-But don't worry, babe.

I'm on the hunt.

I'll find them.

-You think this
is funny, do you,

this little initiation
ceremony of yours?

-No chef.

Well, a bit, chef.

Time to go?

-No, I'll tell you what.

I think it's time for you
to go, you Welsh puff.

-What did you call him?

-You heard me.

-Gentleman, down tools, please.

Service is over.

-In the past, the relationship
between our two great nations

has being compared to that
of a fond parent and child.

The mother nurturing her
child towards independence,

and then watching with
pleasure and pride

how she makes her
way in the world.

Today, it is to Mother
India that we look.

As she is for us the source
of investment, of inspiration,

and of ideas.

-Mr. Bishop.

We work as a team here.

We cooperate.

We show each other respect.

-Well, you can go as well.

Go on, get your coat.

-I'm afraid you'll have to
run that one past Mummy.

-You're what?

You're going to
fire us all, are ya?

Why don't you start
with Mark over there?

-He's worked here
for 60 years, served

under three different monarchs.

-The King's favorite footman.

Go on, I dare you.

-You sign up for life
here, Mr. Bishop.

-I was born to this role.

And unfortunately,
that doesn't mean

it always comes naturally to me.

But luckily, I have her
Majesty Queen Charlotte

to keep me on the
straight and narrow.

She has always been, for
me, the perfect role model.

At my father's coronation,
she made her own vows

to this country, and she has
stayed true to them ever since.

And like her, I will strive
to do the right thing.

And I will try my best to
make my mother proud of me.

[CLAPPING]

[MUFFLED YELLING]

-Backward, limp-wristed, good
for nothing, no hope losers.

Where'd they find you?

You're a moron.

You're a puff.

Another puff.

Paddy.

Retard.

Puff.

-Mr. Bishop.

That's enough.

-Oh no, I wasn't-- I didn't--

-The King is speaking.

-In light of the good
relations between us,

I would like to give-- Sorry.

Excuse me.

And in light of the good
relations between us

I would like to
make the gesture--

I would like to make
the gesture of donating

to the charity Cradle India.

This charity plans
to build orphanages

all over India for
unwanted baby girls.

We have one of its patrons,
the honorable Miss Alice

Templeton, here with us tonight.

And I would like to fully
fund a new orphanage in Madras

and open it in my mother's name.

Well, the Indians aren't happy.

-Queen Charlotte is,
on the other hand.

-You really should have taken
me up on that offer, you know?

Dinner, dancing, champagne.

We'd have had a lot more fun.

-I had no idea champagne
was on the menu.

-Oh, here we go.

Here come the heavies.

-Your majesty, I
take it you are aware

of the serious consequences
of not returning the diamond.

-Yes, I am.

-The factory will close,
one thousand people

will lose their jobs.

-The broadsheets won't go
for you on this one, Sir.

-The foreign office is furious.

-I'm well aware
of the situation.

-I just wish you wouldn't
keep going off message.

-And I wish you had
more faith in me, Iain.

It would make both our
jobs a great deal easier.

-Abigail, about the speech--

-The speech had nothing
to do with Abigail.

It was all my inspiration.

-Your Majesty.

I would like to say
how much I appreciated

what you did for me.

What you said publicly.

-Well, there was a
reason why I couldn't

give the diamond back, mother.

-Oh?

-It wasn't mine to return.

-Go on, get on with some work.

-You're a sight for sore eyes.

-They're going to sack the chef.

-You're kidding me.

-No, Peter's already
informed the palace steward.

-Our work here is done.

-Dr. Kapur, it has
been my great honor

to have been able to
wear the Star of Gujarat.

And it will now
be my great honor

to return her to her homeland.

-Thank you, your majesty.

My country will
be most grateful.

-Good riddance to
bad rubbish, eh?

-I'll drink to that.

-Here.

-I'm sorry.

Vinny.

-No, no, no.

It doesn't matter now.

We're back together.

The magnificent three.

-I made a terrible mistake
with that arsehole.

I was drunk.

And it was stupid
and I-- I just want

us to be friends again, Vinny.

-I can't be friends, Ruby.

-What?

-I'm in love with you.

And you just don't
feel the same way.

-I do.

Sometimes, I mean--

-It doesn't matter.

It's not your fault.

The thing is, I just can't
put myself through it.

Seeing you every day.

-What are you doing?

-I'm leaving.

-Oh no, no, no,
you can't do that.

-Sorry, mate.

-Bastard.

[THROAT CLEARING]

-Oh!

Your majesty.

-I was looking for Abigail.

-She's in her office.

-Princess Eleanor, Ma'am.

-Send her in, Jeremy.

-You asked to see me.

-I want you to leave
Alice Templeton alone.

[LAUGHTER]

-Oh, come on.

-It's not funny.

-Fatty can look after herself.

-I know why you brought me that
diamond in the first place.

Always a little scheme.

You could scheme
before you could walk.

You wrapped your father
around your little finger,

but you don't fool me.

I know exactly
what you're after,

and you will never succeed.

-Have you quite finished?

-No, I haven't.

You were born first, Eleanor,
but you are not a boy

and you will never ever reign.

Richard is King and he
will have my support

as long as I'm living.

Know your place, my girl.

-I know my place.

I was born first, and
I was a girl, and what

a crushing disappointment
that was for everyone.

Especially you.

It's a pity there weren't those
orphanages for girls then,

isn't it, Mother?

-Can I get you anything, Ma'am?

-I think I'll have a small gin.

It's been a long day.

-Yes ma'am.

-And Jeremy?

Start unpacking, would you?

We aren't going anywhere.

-Oh, very good Ma'am.

-I've already drank too much.

-Come on.

That's the point
of state visits.

-Aren't you going
to propose a toast?

-I think I've had enough
of my speeches for one day,

Thank you.

-Yeah, good point.

So have I. I know!

Here's one.

How about, here's to
following your heart?

-No, way too sentimental.

-Is it?

Yeah, you're right.

It's rubbish.

I'm sorry.

-Abby.

Abby.
