00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:15,768
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hFORMAL BUT RELAXED,
A POPULAR QUEEN TOTALLY AT EASE.
147
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:18,838
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHIS WAS
AN ASTONISHING TRANSFORMATION.
148
00:07:18,872 --> 00:07:21,074
{\an7}THE 90th BIRTHDAY TRIUMPH
\h\h\h\h\hCAME AT THE END
149
00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:25,178
{\an7}\h\hOF AN EXTRAORDINARILY DARK
CHAPTER IN THE WINDSOR STORY.
150
00:07:27,881 --> 00:07:31,651
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBACK IN 1992,
ROYAL POPULARITY HAD PLUMMETED,
151
00:07:31,685 --> 00:07:35,756
{\an7}\h\hAND WINDSOR CASTLE ITSELF
WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY DESTROYED.
152
00:07:39,392 --> 00:07:44,063
{\an7}♪
153
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:47,567
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hFRIDAY,

45th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY,
155
00:07:51,738 --> 00:07:53,406
{\an7}A DAY TO CELEBRATE.
156
00:07:56,676 --> 00:08:00,880
{\an7}BUT THE DAY WAS TO BECOME ONE
OF THE WORST IN WINDSOR HISTORY.
157
00:08:03,817 --> 00:08:05,819
{\an7}AT 11:20 THAT MORNING,
158
00:08:05,852 --> 00:08:08,521
{\an7}A WORK LIGHT WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT
TOO CLOSE TO A CURTAIN
159
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:11,091
{\an7}\h\hSTARTED A FIRE INSIDE
THE QUEEN’S PRIVATE CHAPEL
160
00:08:11,124 --> 00:08:12,692
{\an7}AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
161
00:08:12,726 --> 00:08:18,332
{\an7}♪
162
00:08:18,365 --> 00:08:22,169
{\an7}WITHIN MINUTES, THE 300-YEAR-OLD
ROOM WAS ABLAZE.
163
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:24,905
{\an7}[ALARM]
164
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:28,875
{\an7}AT 11:36, THE ALARM WAS SOUNDED.
165
00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:30,410
{\an7}FIVE MINUTES LATER,
166
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,445
{\an7}THE QUEEN’S PRESS OFFICER
\h\h\hAT BUCKINGHAM PALACE
167
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,848
{\an7}RECEIVED AN URGENT PHONE CALL.
168
00:08:36,649 --> 00:08:38,251
{\an7}\h\h\h\hDickie Arbiter:
I’M IN THE PRESS OFFICE,
169
00:08:38,284 --> 00:08:41,721
{\an7}\h\hAND I GOT A, A PHONE CALL
FROM BBC RADIO BERKSHIRE SAYING,
170
00:08:41,755 --> 00:08:46,093
{\an7}"CAN YOU CONFIRM THE FIRE
\h\h\hAT WINDSOR CASTLE?"
171
00:08:46,126 --> 00:08:47,995
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND I THOUGHT,
"FIRE AT WINDSOR CASTLE?
172
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,297
{\an7}WHAT FIRE AT WINDSOR CASTLE?"
173
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:54,901
{\an7}\h\h\h\hI LEFT THE PALACE
PROBABLY ABOUT 5 PAST 12.
174
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:57,637
{\an7}I COULD SEE FROM THE MOTORWAY
BLACK SMOKE BILLOWING,
175
00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:59,172
{\an7}\h\hAND IF YOU CAN SEE
A LOT OF BLACK SMOKE,
176
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,873
{\an7}YOU KNOW YOU’VE GOT A BIG FIRE.

180
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:14,387

39 ENGINES BATTLING AN INFERNO.
181
00:09:17,323 --> 00:09:19,125
{\an7}Arbiter: THERE IS A HIVE
\hOF ACTIVITY GOING ON.
182
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,295
{\an7}\hTHERE’S A HUMAN CHAIN MOVING
STUFF FROM THE ROYAL LIBRARY.

{\an7}\h\h\hLOTS OF ARTIFACTS
HAD TO, HAD TO BE SAVED,

00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,066
{\an7}HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD.
185
00:09:26,099 --> 00:09:27,701
{\an7}AND THIS THEY WERE DOING.
186
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:31,738
{\an7}THEY WERE MOVING A CARPET,
AN INCREDIBLY LONG CARPET,
187
00:09:31,771 --> 00:09:34,474
{\an7}WHICH WAS ALMOST LIKE A SNAKE.
188

00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,819
{\an7}\h\h\hLET’S GET AS MUCH
AS WE POSSIBLY CAN OUT.
193
00:09:46,853 --> 00:09:48,154
{\an7}Arbiter: AND HE WAS VERY GOOD
194
00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:50,424
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBECAUSE HE WAS
ABLE TO TELL THE MILITARY
195
00:09:50,457 --> 00:09:53,493
{\an7}WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT,
\h\hAND WHERE TO TAKE IT.

198
00:09:58,131 --> 00:09:59,766
{\an7}Man: WHAT WAS YOUR MOTHER’S
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hREACTION, SIR?

HER MAJESTY WAS SHOCKED.
200
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,770

{\an7}\h\hAT ABOUT 3:00
IN THE AFTERNOON,
202
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,906
{\an7}AND THAT’S WHEN SHE DID ARRIVE.
203
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,675
{\an7}AND IMMEDIATELY SHE PUT ON
204
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:12,478
{\an7}\hA LONG SORT OF BARBOUR COAT,
HEADSCARF, AS SHE ALWAYS DOES,
205
00:10:12,512 --> 00:10:16,783
{\an7}AND WAS BRIEFED BY THE DEPUTY
COUNTY FIRE CHIEF, DAVID HARPER.
206
00:10:16,816 --> 00:10:20,053
{\an7}\h\h\hHE GAVE HER SORT OF FULL
BACKGROUND OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING
207
00:10:20,086 --> 00:10:22,755
{\an7}AND HOW THEY WERE
TACKLING THE FIRE.

{\an7}Narrator: THE NEWS WASN’T GOOD.
209

{\an7}AS THE QUEEN GOT HER BRIEFING,
210
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:28,728
{\an7}\hTHE FIRE MOVED THROUGH
THE CRIMSON DRAWING ROOM
211
00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:31,197
{\an7}AND ST. GEORGE’S HALL,
212

{\an7}TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ROOMS
IN THE CASTLE,
213
00:10:34,834 --> 00:10:37,203

00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:46,546
{\an7}THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL
\hSTILL FAR FROM OVER.
218
00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:48,414

IN THE EXTREME NORTHEAST CORNER,
221
00:10:51,718 --> 00:10:53,920

{\an7}THE FIRE HAD BURNED FOR 15 HOURS
227
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:20,580
{\an7}AND NEEDED 1.5 MILLION GALLONS
OF WATER TO PUT IT OUT.
228
00:11:23,850 --> 00:11:30,223
{\an7}100 ROOMS HAD BEEN DAMAGED,

00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:38,165
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE DAMAGE TO THAT WAS

{\an7}SUDDENLY IT BROUGHT IT ALL

AFTER THE FIRE AT WINDSOR,
288
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,376
{\an7}THE SECRETARY OF STATE
FOR NATIONAL HERITAGE
289
00:14:36,409 --> 00:14:39,145
{\an7}SPOKE TO THE PRESS.
290
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:41,380
{\an7}\hIN A FEW WORDS,
HE MANAGED TO TURN
291
00:14:41,414 --> 00:14:43,983
{\an7}WHAT HAD BEEN A PERSONAL
\hDISASTER FOR THE QUEEN
292
00:14:44,016 --> 00:14:48,454
{\an7}INTO A CRISIS FOR THE MONARCHY.
293
00:14:48,488 --> 00:14:52,292
{\an7}\h\h\h\hPeter Brooke: I GAVE
A SORT OF GENERAL SITREP ON,
294
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:56,095
{\an7}ON WHAT I HAD SEEN AND WHAT
AND WHAT THE CONDITIONS WERE
295
00:14:56,129 --> 00:14:59,466
{\an7}AND THEN MADE MYSELF AVAILABLE
FOR QUESTIONS,
296
00:14:59,499 --> 00:15:03,703
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hAND, OF COURSE,
THE IMMEDIATE QUESTION WAS,
297
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,772
{\an7}UH, WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT?
298
00:15:06,806 --> 00:15:08,741
{\an7}\hTHE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE ROYAL PALACE
299
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:10,777
{\an7}IS ONE WHICH FALLS
TO MY DEPARTMENT,
300
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,078
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHE DEPARTMENT
OF NATIONAL HERITAGE.
301
00:15:12,111 --> 00:15:13,579
{\an7}WE WILL BE TAKING THE CASTLE
302
00:15:13,613 --> 00:15:16,082
{\an7}BACK TO THE CONDITION
\h\h\hIN WHICH IT WAS.
303
00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:20,520
{\an7}Narrator: PETER BROOKE’S PLAN
WAS TO LET TAXPAYERS COVER
304
00:15:20,553 --> 00:15:24,490
{\an7}THE NEARLY $50-MILLION BILL.
305
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:27,861
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIT WENT OVER
LIKE A LEAD BALLOON.
306
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:29,696
{\an7}\h\hKay: THE COUNTRY
WAS IN A RECESSION,
307
00:15:29,729 --> 00:15:31,464
{\an7}MANY SERVICES WERE BEING CUT,
308
00:15:31,497 --> 00:15:33,866
{\an7}AND YET WE WERE BEING ASKED
\h\h\h\h\h\hTO FOOT THE BILL
309
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,637
{\an7}FOR THIS 40 MILLION SALVAGING,
REPAIR JOB,
310
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:41,240
{\an7}AND YET WE, THE PUBLIC, GOT
NO PARTICULAR BENEFIT OF IT.
311
00:15:41,274 --> 00:15:42,842
{\an7}IT WAS FOR THE QUEEN
\h\hAND HER FAMILY.
312
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:45,478
{\an7}\hIT WAS THEIR HOME,
BUT WE PAID FOR IT.
313
00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:47,179
{\an7}Man: WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD PAY
FOR THE RESTORATION?
314
00:15:47,213 --> 00:15:48,247
{\an7}Woman: NOT THE PUBLIC.
315
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:49,616
{\an7}Man: WHY SHOULD WE PAY?
316
00:15:49,649 --> 00:15:51,718
{\an7}THE GOVERNMENT DON’T PAY.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWE PAY!
317
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:53,653
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMorton:
THERE WAS A HUGE BACKLASH
318
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,054
{\an7}AMONGST THE GENERAL PUBLIC,
319
00:15:55,087 --> 00:15:56,755
{\an7}SAYING WE’RE NOT GOING TO PAY
FOR THIS.
320
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,758
{\an7}\hTHE ROYAL FAMILY
CAN PAY FOR THIS.
321
00:15:58,791 --> 00:16:00,493
{\an7}Jobson: THE QUEEN WAS OFTEN
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAT THAT TIME
322
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:04,597
{\an7}ON THE SUNDAY TIMES LIST,
\h\h\h\hALWAYS NUMBER ONE
323
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:06,866
{\an7}AS THE RICHEST WOMAN
\h\hIN THE COUNTRY.
324
00:16:06,899 --> 00:16:09,769
{\an7}\h\hTHERE’S A SENSE
OF WHY SHOULD PEOPLE
325
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:13,105
{\an7}IN A COUNCIL HOUSE
\h\hIN BARKINGSIDE
326
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:17,844
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hPAY FOR THIS WOMAN’S
RESIDENCE IN ROYAL BERKSHIRE?
327
00:16:17,877 --> 00:16:19,412
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
THE FIRE AT WINDSOR HAD EXPOSED
328
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:21,080
{\an7}A POPULAR MISUNDERSTANDING
329
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:24,617
{\an7}ABOUT WHAT BRITAIN’S MONARCHY
WAS ACTUALLY WORTH.
330
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:26,685
{\an7}\h\hArbiter: THEY HAD HER DOWN
AS OWNING ALL THE ROYAL PALACES,
331
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:28,321
{\an7}INCLUDING THE TOWER OF LONDON,
BUCKINGHAM PALACE,
332
00:16:28,354 --> 00:16:29,689
{\an7}WINDSOR CASTLE,
\h\hYOU NAME IT.
333
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,524
{\an7}IF IT WAS A ROYAL PALACE.
\h\h\h\h\h\hSHE OWNED IT.
334
00:16:31,557 --> 00:16:32,625
{\an7}SHE OWNED THE ROYAL FLIGHT,
335
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:34,760
{\an7}THE ROYAL TRAIN,
THE ROYAL YACHT.
336
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:37,063
{\an7}SHE OWNED THE ROYAL COLLECTION.
SHE OWNED THE CROWN JEWELS.
337
00:16:37,096 --> 00:16:39,732
{\an7}NONE OF WHICH DOES SHE OWN.
338
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:42,201
{\an7}\h\h\h\hNarrator: IN REALITY,
THE QUEEN DOESN’T OWN WINDSOR
339
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:45,138
{\an7}\h\h\hOR ANY OF THE OTHER
ROYAL PALACES AND ESTATES.
340
00:16:48,107 --> 00:16:49,442
{\an7}AFTER HER CORONATION,
341
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:52,244
{\an7}SHE, LIKE EVERY MONARCH
FOR THE LAST 200 YEARS,
342
00:16:52,278 --> 00:16:54,981
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hSIGNED A CONTRACT
HANDING OVER ALL CROWN LANDS
343
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,049
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND BUILDINGS
AND THEIR VAST RENTAL INCOME
344
00:16:57,083 --> 00:17:01,955
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTO THE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.
345
00:17:01,988 --> 00:17:05,658
{\an7}\hIN RETURN, SHE RECEIVES
A LARGE ANNUAL ALLOWANCE.
346
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:08,727
{\an7}[CHOIR SINGING HYMN]
347
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:12,398
{\an7}\h\h\hSO, LEGALLY, WINDSOR IS
THE TAXPAYERS’ RESPONSIBILITY.
348
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,402
{\an7}BUT WITH THE FAMILY’S REPUTATION
349
00:17:16,435 --> 00:17:18,904
{\an7}AT ITS LOWEST LEVELS
\h\hIN A GENERATION,
350
00:17:18,938 --> 00:17:21,441
{\an7}THE PUBLIC DIDN’T CARE.
351
00:17:21,474 --> 00:17:22,976
{\an7}Woman: I USED TO LIKE THEM A LOT
AT ONE TIME,
352
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:24,844
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBUT NOW EACH TIME
YOU READ ALL WHAT’S GOING ON,
353
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,645
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYOU THINK, WELL,
YOU’VE GONE RIGHT OFF OF THEM.
354
00:17:26,679 --> 00:17:30,483
{\an7}Man: I THINK THE WHOLE LOT
OF THEM SHOULD STRUNG UP.
355
00:17:30,516 --> 00:17:33,052
{\an7}Narrator: THE QUEEN REALIZED
\h\h\h\h\hSHE NEEDED TO ACT.
356
00:17:33,085 --> 00:17:34,453
{\an7}SHE NEEDED TO REBUILD
357
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:37,090
{\an7}BOTH WINDSOR AND THE REPUTATION
OF THE MONARCHY,
358
00:17:37,123 --> 00:17:38,558
{\an7}AND FAST.
359
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,963
{\an7}SOMETHING HAD TO CHANGE.
360
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:45,664
{\an7}Kay: SHE DOESN’T LIKE CHANGE.
361
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:48,034
{\an7}SHE FINDS CHANGE UNSETTLING,
\h\h\h\h\h\hLIKE ALL OF US,
362
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:53,039
{\an7}BUT SHE IS PREPARED TO EMBRACE
CHANGE, UH, ALBEIT SLOWLY.
363
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:58,144
{\an7}Narrator: IT’S NOT FIRST TIME
THAT PUBLIC HOSTILITY
364
00:17:58,177 --> 00:18:02,915
{\an7}HAS FORCED RADICAL ACTION
\h\h\h\h\hFROM THE ROYALS.
365
00:18:02,949 --> 00:18:09,722
{\an7}IN 1917, THE QUEEN’S GRANDFATHER
FACED A SIMILAR PROBLEM.
366
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:11,724
{\an7}\h\h\h\hLady Colin Campbell:
DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR,
367
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:15,294
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hANYTHING GERMAN
BECAME EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR.
368
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:18,965
{\an7}\hTHIS PRESENTED A DIFFICULTY,
OF COURSE, FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY
369
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:24,837
{\an7}BECAUSE THE NAME OF THE ROYAL
HOUSE WAS SAXE-COBURG-GOTHA.
370
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:27,206
{\an7}\h\h\h\hJobson: THE TRUTH IS
IT WAS A VERY GERMANIC NAME,
371
00:18:27,239 --> 00:18:30,542
{\an7}BUT EVEN WORSE, GOTHA BOMBERS
IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
372
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:33,846
{\an7}WERE DROPPING BOMBS
\h\h\hON, ON LONDON,
373
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:39,017
{\an7}SO THERE WAS A SENSE THAT THEY
HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE
374
00:18:39,051 --> 00:18:42,221
{\an7}THAT PERCEPTION OF BEING
A GERMANIC ROYAL FAMILY.
375
00:18:42,254 --> 00:18:47,092
{\an7}Campbell: KING GEORGE V
VERY SENSIBLY UNDERSTOOD
376
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:50,696
{\an7}THAT HE NEEDED TO CHANGE
THE NAME OF THE DYNASTY,
377
00:18:50,730 --> 00:18:54,267
{\an7}AND HE VERY SENSIBLY
\h\h\hCHOSE WINDSOR.
378
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:56,569
{\an7}THEY DIDN’T CHOOSE BUCKINGHAM,
379
00:18:56,602 --> 00:18:59,505
{\an7}\hAND THEY DIDN’T CHOOSE
SANDRINGHAM OR BALMORAL.
380
00:18:59,538 --> 00:19:00,839
{\an7}THEY CHOSE WINDSOR
381
00:19:00,873 --> 00:19:07,613
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBECAUSE WINDSOR
IS QUINTESSENTIALLY ENGLISH.
382
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,415
{\an7}Narrator: 75 YEARS LATER,
383
00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:12,518
{\an7}PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO PAYING
\h\h\hFOR REPAIRS TO WINDSOR
384
00:19:12,551 --> 00:19:17,923
{\an7}\hFORCED ELIZABETH TO COME UP
WITH AN EQUALLY RADICAL PLAN.
385
00:19:17,957 --> 00:19:19,325
{\an7}Martin Conboy: AT THAT STAGE,
386
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:23,195
{\an7}THE, UH, THE ROYAL INSTITUTION
CLOSES RANKS
387
00:19:23,229 --> 00:19:25,164
{\an7}AND HAS A REAL HARD THINK,
388
00:19:25,197 --> 00:19:27,366
{\an7}\h\h\hAND WHAT YOU SEE
IS A CONCERTED EFFORT
389
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,504
{\an7}TO WIN THE HEARTS AND MINDS
\h\h\hOF THE BRITISH PEOPLE.
390
00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:32,772
{\an7}Narrator: A WEEK AFTER THE FIRE,
391
00:19:32,805 --> 00:19:34,373
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHE QUEEN
CALLED A SECRET MEETING
392
00:19:34,407 --> 00:19:38,411
{\an7}OF KEY FAMILY MEMBERS
AND TRUSTED ADVISORS.
393
00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:42,615
{\an7}THEY FORMED WHAT’S KNOWN
AS THE WAY AHEAD GROUP.
394
00:19:42,648 --> 00:19:44,884
{\an7}Jobson: THE WAY AHEAD GROUP
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEFFECTIVELY IS
395
00:19:44,917 --> 00:19:48,354
{\an7}\h\h\hAN UBER FOCUS GROUP
OF ROYAL HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS
396
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:50,522
{\an7}THAT WOULD DISCUSS
\h\hTHE WAY AHEAD,
397
00:19:50,556 --> 00:19:52,892
{\an7}\h\hWHAT IS THE STRATEGY
FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS,
398
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:57,530
{\an7}\hBECAUSE THEY WERE CONSCIOUS
THAT THEY HAD AN IMAGE PROBLEM.
399
00:19:57,563 --> 00:19:58,764
{\an7}Narrator: THE MEETING
OF THE WAY AHEAD GROUP
400
00:19:58,798 --> 00:20:02,201
{\an7}ENDED WITH A PLAN.
401
00:20:02,234 --> 00:20:04,737
{\an7}INSISTING THAT THE TAXPAYERS
\hFOOT THE BILL FOR THE FIRE
402
00:20:04,770 --> 00:20:06,805
{\an7}WAS NOW OUT OF THE QUESTION.
403
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,974
{\an7}INSTEAD, THE QUEEN OFFERED
\h\h\h\hTO RAISE THE MONEY
404
00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:15,281
{\an7}\h\h\hBY OPENING UP HER LONDON
HEADQUARTERS TO PAYING VISITORS.
405
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:17,583
{\an7}Kay: IT WAS ANNOUNCED
\h\h\h\hTHAT THE QUEEN
406
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:19,985
{\an7}\hWAS GOING TO OPEN
BUCKINGHAM PALACE UP
407
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:23,022
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTO THE PUBLIC TO FUND
THE REPAIRS TO WINDSOR CASTLE.
408
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:24,423
{\an7}IT WAS A MASTERSTROKE
\h\h\h\hIN MANY WAYS.
409
00:20:24,457 --> 00:20:26,225
{\an7}IT DEFUSED THE WHOLE SITUATION.
410
00:20:26,258 --> 00:20:27,726
{\an7}AND, OF COURSE, THE BACKSTORY IS
411
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,462
{\an7}\h\h\hTHAT THEY’D BEEN
PLANNING THIS ANYWAY,
412
00:20:29,495 --> 00:20:34,834
{\an7}\h\h\hBUT TIMING IT JUST AFTER
THE WINDSOR CASTLE CATASTROPHE
413
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:37,603
{\an7}WAS A BRILLIANT STROKE.
414
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:39,238
{\an7}Narrator: IN AUGUST 1993,
415
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:42,441
{\an7}JUST EIGHT MONTHS AFTER THE FIRE
AT WINDSOR CASTLE,
416
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:45,244
{\an7}\h\hBUCKINGHAM PALACE OPENED
ITS DOORS TO PAYING VISITORS
417
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:46,979
{\an7}FOR THE FIRST TIME.
418
00:20:47,012 --> 00:20:49,381
{\an7}Man: TICKETS, PLEASE...
419
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:51,484
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNarrator:
IT WAS AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS.
420
00:20:51,517 --> 00:20:57,857
{\an7}\h\hNEARLY 400,000 PEOPLE PAID
$10 A TICKET TO TAKE THE TOUR.
421
00:20:57,890 --> 00:21:03,295
{\an7}\h\h\h\hMONEY WAS POURING INTO
THE WINDSOR RESTORATION FUND,
422
00:21:03,329 --> 00:21:06,532
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND PUBLIC HOSTILITY
TO THE ROYALS BEGAN TO SOFTEN.
423
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:08,000
{\an7}[APPLAUSE]
424
00:21:10,202 --> 00:21:11,904
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTWO YEARS
AFTER THE DEVASTATING FIRE
425
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:13,105
{\an7}AT WINDSOR CASTLE,
426
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:17,210
{\an7}A HUGE RESTORATION PROGRAM
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBEGAN.
427
00:21:17,243 --> 00:21:19,946
{\an7}\hTHE FIRE HAD DESTROYED
A FIFTH OF THE BUILDING,
428
00:21:19,979 --> 00:21:21,447
{\an7}AND HUNDREDS OF CRAFTSMEN
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWERE WORKING
429
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,384
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTO RETURN IT
TO ITS FORMER GLORY.
430
00:21:25,417 --> 00:21:29,321

{\an7}THE BITTER WAR OF WORDS
BETWEEN THE ROYAL COUPLE
433

482
00:23:53,332 --> 00:23:57,436

LETTERS SHE’D EVER WRITTEN.

\h\h\hTO GRASP THE NETTLE
494
00:24:33,005 --> 00:24:35,674

{\an7}SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS THAT
498
00:24:46,452 --> 00:24:47,954
{\an7}ABOUT THE FUTURE
OF THE MONARCHY,
499
00:24:47,987 --> 00:24:50,590
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hIT CAN ONLY COME
FROM THE DESK AT WINDSOR.

CONSIDERATION AND CONSULTATION

{\an7}\hWITH THE PRIME MINISTER AND
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY,
510
00:25:16,949 --> 00:25:18,851

00:25:18,884 --> 00:25:22,488
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hIF YOU DIVORCED
FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY.

\h\h\hROYAL EVENTS,
516
00:25:33,165 --> 00:25:36,402
{\an7}NONE MORE SO THAN HER DECISION

THE INTEGRITY OF THE MONARCHY.

THE WIDOW OF WINDSOR?

{\an7}"WHY IS SHE HIDING HERSELF AWAY?

{\an7}IMPOSING SORT OF GOTHIC HOUSE
630
00:31:45,170 --> 00:31:47,572

00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:14,700
{\an7}\hBEING AN "ALSO-RAN"
IN, IN A ROYAL FAMILY.
639
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:17,236

\h\h\hOF A MINOR ROYAL?
640
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:19,138
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIN ONE WAY,
YOU JUST WANT HIM TO GO TO WORK.
641
00:32:19,171 --> 00:32:20,773
{\an7}\hWHY DON’T YOU JUST
GET YOURSELF A JOB?
642
00:32:20,806 --> 00:32:23,409

\hQUITE THAT EASY.

HAD TRIED HARD TO FIND A JOB.
645
00:32:28,847 --> 00:32:30,349
{\an7}McCrery: HE WAS VERY KEEN
646
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:33,018
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTO SHOW THAT ROYALS
COULD EARN THEIR OWN LIVING,
647
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:34,519
{\an7}\h\hAND THERE WAS A LOT
OF CRITICISM AT THE TIME
648
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:36,522
{\an7}ABOUT THEM BEING PAID
FROM THE PUBLIC PURSE,
649
00:32:36,555 --> 00:32:37,756
{\an7}NOT EARNING THEIR OWN LIVING,
650
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:40,792
{\an7}AND HE WAS VERY KEEN
\h\hTO CHANGE THAT.
651
00:32:40,826 --> 00:32:41,927
{\an7}Narrator: BUT HE DIDN’T
\h\hREALLY SEEM TO KNOW
652
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,496
{\an7}WHAT HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO DO.
653
00:32:44,529 --> 00:32:49,134
{\an7}FIRST, HE TRIED THE TRADITIONAL
CAREER IN THE SERVICES.
654
00:32:49,167 --> 00:32:53,471
{\an7}\h\h\hHE JOINED THE MARINES
BUT QUIT AFTER THREE MONTHS.
655
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:56,375
{\an7}\h\hTHEN HE SET HIS SIGHTS
ON A CAREER IN THE THEATER
656
00:32:56,408 --> 00:32:59,311
{\an7}AND FAILED.
657
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:03,081
{\an7}EVENTUALLY HE STARTED
\hHIS OWN TV COMPANY.
658
00:33:04,749 --> 00:33:06,751

A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE.

A HUGE BIG DEAL OF THE FACT

00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:20,565

THE QUEEN’S SON BEHIND THEM.
