1
00:00:50,176 --> 00:00:51,260
My dear baron...
2
00:00:51,928 --> 00:00:53,221
Come on, boys!
3
00:00:53,554 --> 00:00:55,389
My dear fellow members...
4
00:00:56,265 --> 00:00:57,350
Sir.
5
00:00:57,433 --> 00:00:59,769
We're now well into
the first leg of our tour.
6
00:01:00,311 --> 00:01:01,312
At ease.
7
00:01:03,689 --> 00:01:06,275
The Duke and I flew out
and joined the yacht in mombasa.
8
00:01:07,318 --> 00:01:08,629
- How do you do?
- Very good, sir.
9
00:01:08,653 --> 00:01:13,115
From there, we departed for ceylon
via the heavenly Seychelles.
10
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:16,827
Then through the beautiful
malayan states and on to new Guinea.
11
00:01:18,704 --> 00:01:20,748
Because the Duke isn't much
one for ceremony,
12
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:23,960
preferring sport and competition
to dinners and speeches,
13
00:01:24,043 --> 00:01:26,754
everywhere we've gone,
we've had our own small-scale Olympics.
14
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:29,048
- Heave!
- Come on, boys!
15
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:35,388
We have a number
of gifted athletes on board:
16
00:01:35,471 --> 00:01:37,265
Runners, rowers, footballers.
17
00:01:37,807 --> 00:01:40,309
And we've pipped the locals pretty much
everywhere we've been.
18
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:49,527
But in new Guinea,
I'm afraid, we really met our match.
19
00:01:55,283 --> 00:01:56,284
Get up!
20
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:58,786
Thankfully, there is always cricket...
21
00:02:00,454 --> 00:02:01,622
Come on, aldrich!
22
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:04,333
- Hooray!
- Where we can be relied upon
23
00:02:04,417 --> 00:02:05,793
to get our revenge.
24
00:02:09,839 --> 00:02:10,923
Bowled!
25
00:02:11,007 --> 00:02:12,091
- Howzat!
- Yes!
26
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:13,592
Mainly because cricket as a sport
27
00:02:13,676 --> 00:02:15,720
has never been seen before
in new Guinea.
28
00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:19,432
At night, the adventures continue.
29
00:02:20,933 --> 00:02:24,854
On royal tours in the past,
when the queen has been present,
30
00:02:24,937 --> 00:02:28,774
the evenings have been polite occasions,
with everyone on best behavior.
31
00:02:30,276 --> 00:02:31,652
"Not this time.
32
00:02:33,154 --> 00:02:35,990
"Philip, as you all know,
is a work-hard-play-hard man
33
00:02:36,073 --> 00:02:38,159
"who would never stand in the way
of a bit of fun.
34
00:02:39,285 --> 00:02:41,037
"And in new Guinea, as it turns out,
35
00:02:41,162 --> 00:02:43,539
"there's no such thing as infidelity.
36
00:02:45,624 --> 00:02:48,544
"Men are expected to indulge.
37
00:02:50,838 --> 00:02:52,048
"By the end of this tour,
38
00:02:52,131 --> 00:02:54,884
"I think we 7! Be able
to make a qualitative assessment
39
00:02:54,967 --> 00:02:57,720
"about where the finest women
in the world come from.
40
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:00,765
"For now, however, I can tell you
41
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:04,101
"the women of new Guinea
are sweeter than those of ceylon
42
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:06,312
"and right up there
with those of Malaya!
43
00:03:09,231 --> 00:03:12,610
"I have shared these secrets
with you in good faith.
44
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:17,156
"The contents must, like all disclosures
of the Thursday club, remain secret.
45
00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:19,950
"Ninety percent of the officers
on board are married
46
00:03:20,034 --> 00:03:22,495
"and would kill me if they knew
what I was writing!
47
00:03:25,081 --> 00:03:27,750
"Strict non-disclosure policies apply.
48
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,628
"What happens on tour stays on tour.
49
00:03:31,921 --> 00:03:34,423
"But rest assured,
I will keep you updated
50
00:03:34,507 --> 00:03:37,593
"on our forthcoming adventures.
51
00:03:39,095 --> 00:03:42,723
"I sense this will be a momentous
and eventful tour indeed.
52
00:03:43,099 --> 00:03:45,309
"Ever your fellow member, Mike!"
53
00:05:19,778 --> 00:05:24,366
We put our trust in our ruling class.
54
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:28,120
We've put this great country
in their hands!
55
00:05:28,871 --> 00:05:30,247
And what do they do?
56
00:05:30,706 --> 00:05:34,084
How do they pay back our trust?
57
00:05:35,127 --> 00:05:39,590
By taking us into an illegal war
58
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:41,884
under false pretenses!
59
00:05:42,551 --> 00:05:46,847
A shameful, dishonest misadventure!
60
00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:49,433
Murderers!
61
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,478
You! What about that? Bloody disgrace!
62
00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:55,397
Dragging us all into ruin! Bastard!
63
00:05:57,525 --> 00:05:59,109
The invasion has been a disaster,
64
00:05:59,902 --> 00:06:03,280
the UN general assembly's up in arms,
as are the Americans.
65
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:06,951
As a result,
our prime minister has had no option
66
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:11,747
but to declare an immediate ceasefire
and retreat.
67
00:06:13,082 --> 00:06:15,084
Without taking back the Suez canal.
68
00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:17,336
- Quite.
- So it's all been for nothing?
69
00:06:17,836 --> 00:06:19,463
No, rather worse than nothing.
70
00:06:20,881 --> 00:06:24,927
Economically, the drain on our currency
reserves has been so ruinous
71
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,429
that we now face a run on sterling.
72
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:30,432
The energy situation is just as bad.
73
00:06:31,267 --> 00:06:34,436
Panic buying has been reported
at petrol stations,
74
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:39,108
and we expect fuel rationing to become
necessary as we move into winter.
75
00:06:40,943 --> 00:06:42,570
It is no exaggeration to say
76
00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:45,864
this has been the worst week
for the country since 1939.
77
00:06:47,825 --> 00:06:51,370
The peace and consensus
left by your dear father has gone
78
00:06:52,871 --> 00:06:55,541
and our reputation
for decency and integrity
79
00:06:55,624 --> 00:06:58,544
in matters of foreign policy
has been shattered.
80
00:06:58,627 --> 00:06:59,712
What is it?
81
00:07:01,463 --> 00:07:05,134
The Duke of Edinburgh is
on the telephone, your majesty.
82
00:07:05,718 --> 00:07:06,885
Goodness, that's a first.
83
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,221
From new Guinea, ma'am.
84
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:12,825
- Sorry, do excuse me.
- Yes, of course.
85
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:14,590
- Give him my best.
- Say hello.
86
00:07:21,734 --> 00:07:22,735
Hello?
87
00:07:22,818 --> 00:07:23,819
Hello?
88
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:25,738
Hello. Hello, Philip.
89
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:28,490
Hello? Can you hear me?
90
00:07:28,574 --> 00:07:30,034
Yes, yes, I can hear you.
91
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,540
I can't hear you. Can you hear me?
92
00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:39,543
Yes. I can hear you.
93
00:07:41,170 --> 00:07:42,254
Hello?
94
00:07:42,338 --> 00:07:43,339
Elizabeth?
95
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:46,800
Can you hear me?
96
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:52,890
Philip.
97
00:08:02,608 --> 00:08:03,692
Ready for you, sir.
98
00:08:09,490 --> 00:08:10,949
Damn telephones.
99
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:13,452
Bloody things.
100
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:15,055
This is why I haven't bothered myself.
101
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:17,930
Assemble on deck
for the morning address.
102
00:08:26,715 --> 00:08:27,841
At ease, gentlemen.
103
00:08:34,056 --> 00:08:37,309
Well, our adventure
is only two weeks old,
104
00:08:37,393 --> 00:08:40,562
and it's already taken us
nearly 20,000 miles
105
00:08:40,646 --> 00:08:44,525
as we travel the far corners
of the world,
106
00:08:45,943 --> 00:08:48,821
in an attempt to repair
the reputation of our country,
107
00:08:48,946 --> 00:08:51,281
currently being ruined by politicians.
108
00:08:54,618 --> 00:08:58,455
I would like to thank each and every one
of you for your professionalism
109
00:08:59,164 --> 00:09:01,125
and discipline.
You have all been brilliant.
110
00:09:01,709 --> 00:09:03,389
All, that is,
except for the football team,
111
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:07,172
whose shoddy, leaky defense
112
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:09,591
and absence
of a natural left-sided player,
113
00:09:09,675 --> 00:09:12,886
led to that rather humiliating defeat
by the seamen's club,
114
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,805
of all bloody people,
at port swettenham.
115
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,603
I should also like to say,
if! May, admiral...
116
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:23,021
Yes, sir.
117
00:09:27,693 --> 00:09:31,321
It's been wonderful for me,
on a personal level, to be back at sea.
118
00:09:32,281 --> 00:09:35,784
The royal Navy has always occupied
a very special place in my life
119
00:09:35,868 --> 00:09:38,245
and, indeed, in my heart.
120
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:45,669
There are few greater pleasures in life
than serving on a ship such as this.
121
00:09:46,962 --> 00:09:48,964
That's why it's also
very difficult to leave,
122
00:09:49,047 --> 00:09:54,219
but leave I must and fly to Melbourne
to open the Olympics there,
123
00:09:54,303 --> 00:09:56,513
where I must generally behave myself,
124
00:09:56,638 --> 00:09:59,099
shake a few hands, out a few ribbons.
125
00:09:59,183 --> 00:10:02,519
It will be hell, I can assure you.
126
00:10:03,312 --> 00:10:06,273
And I will be counting the minutes
until you come and pick me up again
127
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:08,358
and we can continue our great adventure.
128
00:10:08,442 --> 00:10:11,445
Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves,
129
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:12,780
keep fit,
130
00:10:13,822 --> 00:10:15,866
and don't drink all the bloody beer.
131
00:10:20,412 --> 00:10:21,622
Well said, sir.
132
00:10:22,414 --> 00:10:24,458
Well done, boys. Well done, big man.
133
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:26,126
Good stuff. Thank you very much.
134
00:10:27,002 --> 00:10:29,046
Well done. Well done. Well done.
135
00:10:36,887 --> 00:10:39,014
It's so depressing, this Suez business.
136
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:41,642
Well, don't read about it then.
137
00:10:41,725 --> 00:10:44,144
I can't help myself.
What were they thinking?
138
00:10:44,686 --> 00:10:47,523
- Shall we take a look at this schedule?
- Will that cheer me up?
139
00:10:47,606 --> 00:10:49,316
Probably not, no.
140
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:50,919
I've been stripping things out
wherever I can,
141
00:10:50,943 --> 00:10:52,653
but I'm afraid it's still pretty hectic.
142
00:10:53,195 --> 00:10:56,532
We start with a uranium mine visit
in the northern territory.
143
00:10:56,615 --> 00:10:59,076
- Yippee.
- Agricultural parades in Sydney,
144
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,621
then over to a British empire
service league conference in Canberra.
145
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,165
And finally garden parties
at government house.
146
00:11:05,249 --> 00:11:06,333
- Joy.
- But_
147
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:09,878
I've come up with a stock speech
which you can memorize like a mynah bird
148
00:11:09,962 --> 00:11:11,713
and deliver each step of the way.
149
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:16,051
Australia.
150
00:11:16,885 --> 00:11:19,429
The name itself conjures up
such romantic images
151
00:11:19,555 --> 00:11:22,015
of progress, ambition and possibility.
152
00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:30,983
It is said that the Mark
of any great nation is the journey
153
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:33,735
it has endured on its path to glory.
154
00:11:37,239 --> 00:11:38,991
And what a journey Australia has taken.
155
00:11:42,828 --> 00:11:45,914
- I see. So that's the smelter.
- Straight over there...
156
00:11:46,999 --> 00:11:49,710
From those early European explorers
who landed at your shores,
157
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:51,628
you've endured
great hardship and crisis.
158
00:11:52,796 --> 00:11:55,090
Less independently-minded nations
would've faltered,
159
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:56,967
sought support from the parent nation
160
00:11:57,968 --> 00:12:00,095
once so integral to their governance.
161
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:02,055
But Australia forged onwards.
162
00:12:05,225 --> 00:12:09,771
Like its rugged and, at times,
unforgiving landscape,
163
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:14,192
Australia showed true strength,
true mettle.
164
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:20,574
You have admirably
165
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:24,202
developed every branch
of your life and culture
166
00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:28,707
and in just 200 years, have grown
167
00:12:28,790 --> 00:12:32,169
into a unique
and individual civilization,
168
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:36,214
which, I am sure, will rank among
the greatest that the world has seen.
169
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:44,723
Australia!
170
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:47,601
- Excellent speech.
- Good man.
171
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:49,770
Her name's Helen king.
172
00:12:50,646 --> 00:12:52,397
Twenty-nine years old,
writes for the age,
173
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:54,566
one of the most prominent
newspapers here.
174
00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:56,151
She's asked to meet you.
175
00:12:57,402 --> 00:12:58,403
Let's meet her.
176
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:00,280
What for?
177
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:01,531
An interview.
178
00:13:02,074 --> 00:13:04,034
I thought we'd decided no interviews.
179
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,160
We did, but in her case,
180
00:13:05,243 --> 00:13:07,162
I find myself moved
to make an exception.
181
00:13:07,913 --> 00:13:10,540
- You saw the way she was looking at me?
- Yes.
182
00:13:10,624 --> 00:13:14,711
You don't think I'm being delusional?
Gentleman's radar and all that.
183
00:13:16,296 --> 00:13:19,091
Not to mention the way she's followed us
every step of the tour. No...
184
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,512
I think we can safely assume
this one's a friend, not an enemy.
185
00:13:32,688 --> 00:13:35,399
The car carrying his royal highness,
186
00:13:35,524 --> 00:13:36,692
the Duke of Edinburgh,
187
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:39,152
makes its way out
onto the splendid red track
188
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:41,863
here on this pleasant afternoon
in Melbourne.
189
00:13:43,031 --> 00:13:46,827
The crowds are ecstatic as they
get their first glimpse of the Duke,
190
00:13:47,244 --> 00:13:50,747
who is reported to be greatly enjoying
his time here in Australia.
191
00:13:51,915 --> 00:13:57,170
And now, we're nearly there as the Duke
takes his place in the royal box.
192
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:03,802
I declare open the olympic games
of Melbourne,
193
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:09,099
celebrating the 16th olympiad
of the modern era.
194
00:14:15,856 --> 00:14:17,149
He looks happy.
195
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:19,359
Foronce.
196
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:23,030
The Duke smiles as thunderous applause
197
00:14:23,113 --> 00:14:25,198
and thousands of cheers...
198
00:14:25,282 --> 00:14:27,701
- Yes. Very happy.
- From the excited spectators
199
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:29,619
reverberates around the crowded stadium.
200
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:32,205
You can thank me for that.
It was my idea.
201
00:14:32,289 --> 00:14:36,126
I always knew it was a good idea
to let him shine. Alone.
202
00:14:36,209 --> 00:14:37,794
What a magnificent moment.
203
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,297
Yes, thank you, mommy.
204
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:49,890
In ancient Greece,
the beginning of the games
205
00:14:49,973 --> 00:14:52,809
was heralded
by the homing of the pigeons,
206
00:14:52,893 --> 00:14:54,144
and so too today.
207
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:08,658
Ready?
208
00:15:08,742 --> 00:15:09,826
- Yes.
- Yes.
209
00:15:13,121 --> 00:15:15,248
- Mrs. Parker. This way, please.
- Yes.
210
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:16,333
Wait here.
211
00:15:18,210 --> 00:15:20,378
Mrs. Parker. How can I help?
212
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:24,716
I'd like to separate from my husband.
Better still, divorce.
213
00:15:26,384 --> 00:15:28,053
Do you mind me asking, on what grounds?
214
00:15:28,804 --> 00:15:29,930
The fact I never see him.
215
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:34,518
Absence isn't a legal ground
for divorce.
216
00:15:36,853 --> 00:15:37,854
Neglect?
217
00:15:37,938 --> 00:15:39,689
Nor that, I'm afraid.
218
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:41,413
You're going to need
one of the big three:
219
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:44,277
Adultery, unreasonable behavior
or insanity.
220
00:15:44,569 --> 00:15:46,321
I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
221
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:49,032
We will need evidence.
222
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:51,451
That won't be easy.
223
00:15:52,119 --> 00:15:53,203
Because of his job.
224
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:59,167
- Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
- In what capacity?
225
00:15:59,251 --> 00:16:00,293
His private secretary.
226
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:02,587
I see.
227
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:06,258
He's also his closest friend.
They're virtually inseparable.
228
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:10,804
Are you really sure about this?
229
00:16:11,221 --> 00:16:14,891
A divorce can leave a woman
quite isolated.
230
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,896
Maybe things will get better
if you stick it out.
231
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:23,859
I tend to think that's always
the best way for everyone.
232
00:16:25,277 --> 00:16:27,279
Grass is rarely greener.
233
00:16:30,031 --> 00:16:31,551
I will come back when I have evidence.
234
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:47,048
- You're taking pethidine?
- Yes.
235
00:16:47,132 --> 00:16:50,760
- And the pentobarbitone?
- Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone,
236
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,262
but it doesn't work.
237
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:55,432
I need something stronger.
238
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,475
There is nothing stronger.
239
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:03,440
The fact is, in terms of pharmacology,
we've gone as far as we can.
240
00:17:11,198 --> 00:17:14,743
I have the greatest sympathy
for your condition, prime minister,
241
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:17,579
and I fully understand
the need for rest,
242
00:17:19,748 --> 00:17:22,792
but given the challenges
that are now facing this country,
243
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:25,879
you don't feel
that you have a responsibility
244
00:17:26,004 --> 00:17:28,381
to execute your duties
just a little longer?
245
00:17:28,465 --> 00:17:32,552
I asked the physician the same question,
ma'am, but he insisted.
246
00:17:35,222 --> 00:17:38,892
He felt that I was at the very limit
of human endurance.
247
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:45,440
But the country will be in safe hands.
248
00:17:45,565 --> 00:17:49,444
Mr. Butler will take charge
in my absence.
249
00:17:50,237 --> 00:17:54,616
Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal
of our troops from Egypt,
250
00:17:55,492 --> 00:18:01,206
and Mr. MacMillan will oversee
the economic situation.
251
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,124
Economic crisis.
252
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:07,796
How long do you imagine you'll be away?
253
00:18:07,879 --> 00:18:09,214
Not long, ma'am.
254
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:11,508
A few weeks.
255
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:16,680
Well, I suppose one can always reach you
at short notice.
256
00:18:17,472 --> 00:18:19,808
It's a point I always make
to my private secretaries.
257
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:24,562
Yes, I'm away, but windsor
really is just round the corner.
258
00:18:25,272 --> 00:18:26,314
And Norfolk, too.
259
00:18:27,274 --> 00:18:29,359
County durham, isn't it?
260
00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:32,112
Your family home.
261
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:35,198
Jamaica, ma'am.
262
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,326
Your family home?
263
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,204
Where the doctor felt I should be going.
264
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:43,456
He specified Jamaica?
265
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:46,543
He specified sunshine,
tropical sunshine.
266
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:49,546
He said he felt
my life might depend on it.
267
00:18:53,925 --> 00:18:57,512
What would he prescribe
for the rest of us, do you imagine?
268
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:02,642
Prime minister.
269
00:19:03,685 --> 00:19:04,728
Your majesty.
270
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,389
Excuse me! Excuse me!
271
00:19:41,473 --> 00:19:43,892
You work in there, don't you?
272
00:19:44,351 --> 00:19:47,020
At the Thursday club as a waitress?
273
00:19:47,687 --> 00:19:49,731
- Who's asking?
- My name is Eileen.
274
00:19:49,814 --> 00:19:50,982
Do you have a minute?
275
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:52,901
What can I do for you?
276
00:19:54,694 --> 00:19:58,615
I'd like you to tell me
what goes on inside.
277
00:19:58,782 --> 00:20:01,785
- Are you a reporter or something?
- No, no, nothing like that.
278
00:20:02,077 --> 00:20:07,040
Just a wife of one of the members
and mother to his children.
279
00:20:07,123 --> 00:20:09,084
You may know him, his name is Mike.
280
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:10,960
There are so many gentlemen.
281
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:12,253
Mike Parker.
282
00:20:15,590 --> 00:20:17,050
You do know him, don't you?
283
00:20:19,219 --> 00:20:22,680
Mike would've made sure of that.
You're just his type.
284
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,226
Look, one day you will be married too,
285
00:20:26,309 --> 00:20:28,812
and I sincerely hope
that you make a good choice.
286
00:20:28,937 --> 00:20:33,483
But if you don't and you meet a man
who makes you unhappy,
287
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:35,402
then, as a woman, I would wish for you
288
00:20:35,485 --> 00:20:39,406
to be able to leave that man
easily, painlessly.
289
00:20:40,365 --> 00:20:44,577
So if there is anything you can tell me
that might make my leaving easier...
290
00:20:44,661 --> 00:20:48,540
I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker,
but I know nothing of your husband.
291
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:51,644
Here is my address and telephone number.
292
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:53,545
Excuse me. Coming through here.
293
00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:54,629
Just...
294
00:20:58,049 --> 00:21:00,093
If anything should occur to you.
295
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:17,360
- We'll take two more martinis.
- All right.
296
00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:28,329
Lily! Lily! Lily!
297
00:21:35,378 --> 00:21:37,797
- Martin.
- Do you have a minute, Michael?
298
00:21:38,381 --> 00:21:39,591
I think it's important.
299
00:21:39,883 --> 00:21:40,884
Come in.
300
00:21:44,596 --> 00:21:46,806
I'm going to ask you
to go through it again.
301
00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:50,435
Yes. The provenance
of this rumor is quite arcane.
302
00:21:51,227 --> 00:21:53,021
- Your sister...
- Sister-in-law.
303
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:58,067
Had lunch with her aunt,
who had just spent the weekend at...
304
00:21:58,151 --> 00:21:59,360
Cholmondeley castle.
305
00:21:59,569 --> 00:22:03,490
At which, one of the other guests
was the bridge partner...
306
00:22:03,573 --> 00:22:04,574
Tennis.
307
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:10,747
Of the solicitor
visited by Eileen Parker.
308
00:22:11,206 --> 00:22:12,415
I think that's it.
309
00:22:12,916 --> 00:22:14,501
That's half britain already.
310
00:22:16,294 --> 00:22:20,215
And all of these people
now know Mrs. Parker
311
00:22:21,216 --> 00:22:22,675
is seeking a divorce?
312
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:24,469
Yes.
313
00:22:25,637 --> 00:22:26,804
That's unfortunate.
314
00:22:27,597 --> 00:22:29,015
It'll be hard to contain.
315
00:22:31,518 --> 00:22:35,730
And what are Mrs. Parker's
316
00:22:37,398 --> 00:22:38,399
gnevances?
317
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:42,403
Neglect, unreasonable behavior,
318
00:22:43,238 --> 00:22:45,698
and infidelity.
319
00:22:46,449 --> 00:22:49,160
Just a wife's suspicions,
nothing concrete,
320
00:22:49,244 --> 00:22:52,163
but I believe specific mention
was made of a lunch club
321
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:54,999
where lieutenant commander Parker
and the Duke of Edinburgh are...
322
00:22:55,083 --> 00:22:57,794
Don't tell me. Frequent guests.
323
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,838
Actually, founder members.
324
00:23:03,841 --> 00:23:05,641
Keep an eye on this for me,
would you, Martin?
325
00:23:06,386 --> 00:23:07,387
A close eye.
326
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:09,847
- Three carbon copies, please, Jane.
- Will do.
327
00:23:11,266 --> 00:23:12,308
Thank you.
328
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:22,110
- Here we go.
- Madam.
329
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:24,170
- Mind your step.
- Thank you very much.
330
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:44,007
- Ready, sir?
- Certainly am.
331
00:23:45,842 --> 00:23:47,482
His royal highness,
the Duke of Edinburgh.
332
00:23:47,927 --> 00:23:49,804
- Thank you for seeing me, sir.
- Not at all.
333
00:23:52,307 --> 00:23:57,562
Well, just bear with me
while I put my things down and set up.
334
00:23:57,645 --> 00:23:59,105
- Please.
- Thank you.
335
00:24:09,032 --> 00:24:11,034
I'm just going to
put a microphone right here.
336
00:24:11,117 --> 00:24:12,660
Can I help?
337
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:14,370
No, it's fine, thank you.
338
00:24:18,666 --> 00:24:20,501
Right, I think that's it.
339
00:24:21,544 --> 00:24:24,464
Right, well, I'll...
I'll leave you two to it, then.
340
00:24:24,547 --> 00:24:26,174
Thank you, Michael. Please.
341
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:27,884
Thank you.
342
00:24:32,555 --> 00:24:33,640
Ready when you are.
343
00:24:34,265 --> 00:24:36,392
Well, we can't really start
without passing comment
344
00:24:36,476 --> 00:24:39,646
on the situation in Egypt
and the international response.
345
00:24:42,857 --> 00:24:45,109
Huge demonstrations
on the streets of London,
346
00:24:45,860 --> 00:24:49,405
Eden caving in to international pressure
and calling a ceasefire.
347
00:24:50,031 --> 00:24:52,551
You don't think it's a pretty
significant moment for your country?
348
00:24:52,575 --> 00:24:54,661
Perhaps, but I'm not going to
pass comment on that.
349
00:24:55,912 --> 00:24:57,330
- Why not?
- It's not my job.
350
00:24:57,413 --> 00:24:59,290
It's not what members
of the royal family do.
351
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:02,126
But you must have thoughts about it.
352
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,629
Of course, I'm not a vegetable,
353
00:25:05,296 --> 00:25:08,675
but my thoughts on issues like that
remain a private matter.
354
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:13,572
One can't help wondering where it leaves
355
00:25:13,596 --> 00:25:16,474
- britain's place in the world.
- I'm sure britain will be fine.
356
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:20,645
The view from over here is that
britain has been publicly humiliated.
357
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:25,358
As someone
with surprisingly progressive views,
358
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:27,193
that must concern you.
359
00:25:27,694 --> 00:25:29,278
I have progressive views?
360
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:30,822
You don't think that you do?
361
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:33,408
Televising the coronation?
362
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,284
Advocating modernization?
363
00:25:35,368 --> 00:25:36,619
That's just common sense.
364
00:25:36,703 --> 00:25:39,664
If you're a progressive,
one prepared to make changes.
365
00:25:39,831 --> 00:25:41,999
Well, let's just say
that I learned very early on
366
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:44,168
that it's wise
not to take things for granted.
367
00:25:44,794 --> 00:25:46,212
You're referring to your family.
368
00:25:47,296 --> 00:25:49,841
How they had to leave Greece
in the revolution.
369
00:25:50,341 --> 00:25:54,220
Your grandfather was shot,
your father fled to avoid being shot.
370
00:25:54,887 --> 00:25:56,139
Yes. Correct.
371
00:25:58,516 --> 00:26:01,519
Well, you see, there's so much
that people don't really know about you.
372
00:26:05,773 --> 00:26:08,276
I can assure you
it's all been rather embellished.
373
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,446
- The truth is really quite dull.
- Dull?
374
00:26:12,363 --> 00:26:15,116
How you personally fled corfu
in an orange crate?
375
00:26:15,658 --> 00:26:18,119
And then a childhood in exile,
always on the move.
376
00:26:18,202 --> 00:26:20,705
"Exile" is too strong a word,
too emotional.
377
00:26:20,997 --> 00:26:23,317
It's just how it was for everyone.
You just got on with it.
378
00:26:26,836 --> 00:26:28,379
But it can't have been easy.
379
00:26:30,798 --> 00:26:34,552
Was the trauma of being in exile
what brought on your mother's illness,
380
00:26:34,635 --> 00:26:35,636
do you think?
381
00:26:40,057 --> 00:26:41,058
What illness?
382
00:26:42,393 --> 00:26:46,272
Well, the information I have is
that she suffered a breakdown.
383
00:26:53,780 --> 00:26:55,281
Things weren't easy for her.
384
00:26:57,074 --> 00:26:58,159
But she got on with it.
385
00:26:58,242 --> 00:27:01,204
But she was taken away, wasn't she?
To an institution.
386
00:27:02,413 --> 00:27:05,458
Then your father promptly abandoned
the family, ran off with his mistress?
387
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:08,461
I don't know what you've been reading
or who you've been speaking to,
388
00:27:08,544 --> 00:27:11,297
but both my mother and my father
played very active roles
389
00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:12,882
in all their children's lives.
390
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:15,051
So, it isn't true
that you didn't see your father
391
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:16,487
for the last six years of his life?
392
00:27:16,511 --> 00:27:19,013
I think if we're to remain friends,
we really should move on.
393
00:27:20,556 --> 00:27:21,557
All right.
394
00:27:23,351 --> 00:27:25,311
May I ask you about your education?
395
00:27:26,604 --> 00:27:27,605
Sir.
396
00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:34,403
Sir.
397
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,616
- What about it?
- That was pretty unusual, too.
398
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:41,908
I went to boarding school in britain.
I don't see what's unusual about that.
399
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:45,957
For a while, but then you were taken out
of there and sent to school in Germany.
400
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,708
Because my sisters lived there.
401
00:27:47,792 --> 00:27:49,752
- Your Nazi sisters.
- Christ.
402
00:27:49,836 --> 00:27:52,672
One of whom was married
to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
403
00:27:52,797 --> 00:27:55,007
I was at school in Germany
for less than a year
404
00:27:55,091 --> 00:27:56,926
before I returned to the United Kingdom.
405
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:58,678
What point are you trying to make here?
406
00:27:58,761 --> 00:28:00,721
I think it's pretty clear
which side I was on.
407
00:28:00,847 --> 00:28:02,723
My record in the war speaks for itself.
408
00:28:02,849 --> 00:28:04,350
I'm simply saying your background
409
00:28:04,433 --> 00:28:07,270
is so much more interesting and complex
than people might imagine.
410
00:28:07,353 --> 00:28:10,064
- Do they imagine anything?
- I think people are curious.
411
00:28:12,483 --> 00:28:15,111
Here is this striking, handsome man,
412
00:28:15,653 --> 00:28:18,364
walking beside
the most famous woman in the world.
413
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:20,741
Who is he?
414
00:28:22,994 --> 00:28:24,829
Well, I hate to disappoint,
415
00:28:27,498 --> 00:28:30,251
but he really is just a normal man
416
00:28:30,376 --> 00:28:31,836
in what, from the outside,
417
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:34,297
probably looks like
rather a strange life,
418
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:38,759
but from the inside,
really is no different to anyone else's.
419
00:28:41,637 --> 00:28:44,197
I don't think there's anything about you
that's like anyone else.
420
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,061
From a young age,
you were effectively orphaned,
421
00:28:49,186 --> 00:28:52,815
your favorite sister, cecile,
also a Nazi, died in a plane crash.
422
00:28:52,899 --> 00:28:54,442
I really think we should move on now.
423
00:28:54,525 --> 00:28:56,402
What kind of impact
does that have on a man?
424
00:28:57,445 --> 00:29:00,573
That's the kind of trauma that will
doubtless have a bearing on
425
00:29:00,656 --> 00:29:03,659
how your own children and the future
king of england are brought up.
426
00:29:03,743 --> 00:29:04,744
That's enough.
427
00:29:08,289 --> 00:29:11,626
I think people have a right
to know about their leaders, don't you?
428
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:16,088
Especially ones that can't be thrown out
with free and fair elections.
429
00:29:20,551 --> 00:29:23,054
Just don't ever let my vanity
get the better of me again.
430
00:29:45,618 --> 00:29:46,619
Christ!
431
00:29:47,954 --> 00:29:48,955
Christ!
432
00:30:28,661 --> 00:30:30,371
Kensington 8953. Hello?
433
00:30:35,668 --> 00:30:36,669
We met
434
00:30:39,422 --> 00:30:40,464
a few times
435
00:30:42,425 --> 00:30:45,553
in various locations.
436
00:30:49,015 --> 00:30:52,852
Afterwards, he'd tell me about his job.
437
00:30:55,312 --> 00:30:56,522
The company he keeps.
438
00:30:59,942 --> 00:31:01,360
He didn't mention a wife.
439
00:31:04,113 --> 00:31:05,114
Or children.
440
00:31:09,285 --> 00:31:10,286
I'm so sorry.
441
00:31:14,165 --> 00:31:18,335
If you are really sorry
and want to make my life easier...
442
00:31:21,338 --> 00:31:22,339
Of course.
443
00:31:24,759 --> 00:31:27,053
We will need you
to make an official statement
444
00:31:27,136 --> 00:31:29,096
and give evidence in court.
445
00:31:29,180 --> 00:31:31,223
I can't do that.
I would lose my job, my reputation.
446
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,267
I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
447
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:42,401
So you telephoned me and agreed
to come here today for what, precisely?
448
00:31:44,278 --> 00:31:46,155
To put color into my nightmares?
449
00:31:47,198 --> 00:31:48,199
I'm sorry.
450
00:31:55,664 --> 00:31:57,041
My sources now tell me that
451
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:59,085
Mrs. Parker has gone
as far as bringing a waitress
452
00:31:59,210 --> 00:32:02,088
from the Thursday lunch club
to see her divorce lawyer.
453
00:32:02,213 --> 00:32:06,175
I gather the waitress has not provided
hard evidence on this occasion,
454
00:32:06,801 --> 00:32:08,135
just hearsay.
455
00:32:08,219 --> 00:32:09,579
They were obviously getting close.
456
00:32:10,137 --> 00:32:13,974
This cannot be allowed to go
one single step further, Martin.
457
00:32:15,142 --> 00:32:17,895
If Mrs. Parker succeeds
in getting her divorce,
458
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:22,108
the newspapers would make
the not unreasonable assumption
459
00:32:22,191 --> 00:32:25,986
that anything that
lieutenant commander Parker has done,
460
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:27,780
the Duke of Edinburgh has done, too.
461
00:32:28,405 --> 00:32:34,203
We do not want words like "infidelity"
and "divorce" swirling around.
462
00:32:35,496 --> 00:32:37,748
Whether there is any truth
in the allegations or not,
463
00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:41,001
it would shatter the integrity
of the royal marriage
464
00:32:41,961 --> 00:32:43,629
and jeopardize the entire monarchy.
465
00:32:47,049 --> 00:32:48,050
Any ideas?
466
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:52,138
Stand easy. Stand easy.
467
00:32:52,263 --> 00:32:54,682
Right, our grown-up duties are done.
468
00:32:54,765 --> 00:32:57,560
The Olympics are officially up
and running, which means, gentlemen,
469
00:32:57,685 --> 00:33:01,939
we can now get on with the important
business at hand: Our tour!
470
00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:08,612
We have nine weeks
between now and our arrival home.
471
00:33:08,737 --> 00:33:12,283
In that time, we will be visiting
the remotest parts of the commonwealth,
472
00:33:12,366 --> 00:33:15,578
but I'm delighted to say
that during that time,
473
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:17,496
we will be without reporters.
474
00:33:19,123 --> 00:33:21,125
We will be without photographers.
475
00:33:22,418 --> 00:33:25,462
We will be out of the world's eye!
476
00:33:26,797 --> 00:33:29,078
And with that in mind,
I think Michael's got a suggestion.
477
00:33:30,259 --> 00:33:31,468
Thank you. Right, gentlemen.
478
00:33:31,844 --> 00:33:34,305
Yes, I'd like to propose
something a little unusual,
479
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:37,808
something I'm fairly sure none of us
has ever participated in before:
480
00:33:37,892 --> 00:33:39,894
A beard-growing competition!
481
00:33:42,146 --> 00:33:46,525
Now, special dispensation has been given
to the dozen or so men
482
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:50,654
who already have beards to
shave them off and they'll act as judges
483
00:33:50,738 --> 00:33:52,990
for the rest of our efforts, all right?
484
00:33:53,073 --> 00:33:54,074
Yes!
485
00:33:54,867 --> 00:33:56,535
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
486
00:33:56,619 --> 00:33:58,579
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
487
00:33:58,662 --> 00:34:01,457
- Hip, hip! Hooray!
- Hooray!
488
00:34:13,594 --> 00:34:15,554
It's nothing you've not seen before.
489
00:34:15,638 --> 00:34:17,139
We can't see it now, bill.
490
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:46,377
Right, in their infinite wisdom,
the powers that be have decided
491
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:48,963
they would like you to make
a Christmas speech.
492
00:34:49,046 --> 00:34:52,007
What? To who? The men on board?
493
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:56,595
To the half a billion people that
make up the commonwealth of nations.
494
00:34:57,304 --> 00:34:58,764
From the lord Chamberlain's office.
495
00:34:58,847 --> 00:35:01,600
They'd like you to make a companion
Christmas speech to the queen's.
496
00:35:01,684 --> 00:35:06,063
A thousand words, preferably uplifting
in tone and Christian in sentiment.
497
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:07,773
With as many references as possible
498
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:10,818
to the importance of family
and the sanctity of marriage.
499
00:35:12,111 --> 00:35:13,279
What if I don't want to?
500
00:35:14,530 --> 00:35:16,782
I'm afraid no provisions
appear to have been made
501
00:35:16,865 --> 00:35:19,743
for your having an opinion about that
or, indeed, anything else.
502
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:23,247
Because of seniority,
503
00:35:23,372 --> 00:35:27,251
your speech will come second,
the usual time, 3:00 pm.
504
00:35:28,794 --> 00:35:31,171
However, on Christmas morning,
505
00:35:31,255 --> 00:35:33,716
the Duke of Edinburgh is expected
to be in Graham land,
506
00:35:33,799 --> 00:35:37,136
which is in the antarctic peninsula,
which is ten hours behind us,
507
00:35:37,219 --> 00:35:40,597
so he'll have to get up
at the crack of dawn to make his speech.
508
00:35:40,681 --> 00:35:43,309
May I ask why he's making a speech?
509
00:35:43,726 --> 00:35:44,727
Ma'am?
510
00:35:45,477 --> 00:35:46,895
Well, it's not usual, is it?
511
00:35:48,147 --> 00:35:51,150
No, it is extraordinary.
512
00:35:51,942 --> 00:35:53,986
I think the feeling was
513
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:56,864
that with your majesty
and his royal highness
514
00:35:56,989 --> 00:36:00,784
having not been seen
in public together for so long,
515
00:36:01,243 --> 00:36:03,829
being, at least, heard together...
516
00:36:03,912 --> 00:36:06,540
No, I see. It might reassure people
that all is still well.
517
00:36:07,875 --> 00:36:10,544
- I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
- Well, I would.
518
00:36:11,045 --> 00:36:12,254
And I think it's a good idea.
519
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:14,631
Thank you, Michael.
520
00:36:20,804 --> 00:36:21,805
May I just ask,
521
00:36:23,307 --> 00:36:24,641
just out of curiosity,
522
00:36:26,185 --> 00:36:30,230
what's the longest amount of time that
you and lady adeane have been separated?
523
00:36:33,233 --> 00:36:34,276
Three weeks, I think.
524
00:36:35,736 --> 00:36:40,324
I see. And would you say that you thrive
or suffer from the separation?
525
00:36:42,326 --> 00:36:43,702
We don't much care for it, ma'am.
526
00:36:44,495 --> 00:36:46,705
Helen, in particular, believes
527
00:36:47,748 --> 00:36:49,958
that little good comes
from a couple being apart,
528
00:36:50,042 --> 00:36:52,294
that a husband and wife belong together.
529
00:36:57,216 --> 00:36:58,300
Yes, of course.
530
00:37:01,178 --> 00:37:02,179
Ma'am.
531
00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:49,226
- Brown?
- Yes, sir?
532
00:37:51,937 --> 00:37:54,356
- What's up?
- Australian naval patrol boat,
533
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,650
the hmas warreen,
has put out a distress call.
534
00:37:56,733 --> 00:37:59,820
They picked up a fishing boat,
out of power, and it's drifted for days.
535
00:37:59,903 --> 00:38:00,904
The one man left alive,
536
00:38:00,988 --> 00:38:02,588
he nearly drowned trying
to fix the hull.
537
00:38:02,656 --> 00:38:05,159
He suffered a broken rib cage,
and his lung may be punctured.
538
00:38:05,242 --> 00:38:07,286
And the warreen doesn't have
a doctor on board.
539
00:38:07,369 --> 00:38:09,621
- The man is dying.
- Are we the nearest ship?
540
00:38:09,705 --> 00:38:11,874
There's a French freighter
three miles further out.
541
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:13,125
We are the nearest ship.
542
00:38:14,668 --> 00:38:15,919
Set your course.
543
00:38:16,003 --> 00:38:17,087
Bring her about.
544
00:38:18,547 --> 00:38:19,631
Coming about.
545
00:38:19,715 --> 00:38:20,841
Ninety degrees.
546
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:40,569
Hoist.
547
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:42,112
Up, up. He's coming up.
548
00:38:43,363 --> 00:38:44,448
Steady him.
549
00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:57,586
Straps.
550
00:39:03,258 --> 00:39:04,301
At ease.
551
00:39:05,594 --> 00:39:07,754
We fished him out of the water,
floating near his boat.
552
00:39:08,555 --> 00:39:10,115
The rest of his crew must have drowned.
553
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:11,639
There was no log on board,
554
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:13,483
so we don't know
who he is or where he's from.
555
00:39:13,727 --> 00:39:15,771
It doesn't matter who he is
or where he's from.
556
00:39:15,854 --> 00:39:18,899
He was the captain of a ship,
that's all that counts.
557
00:39:19,483 --> 00:39:21,401
- We'll need a saline drip.
- He's one of us.
558
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:24,279
Immediately. Fluids. Now, man.
559
00:39:24,905 --> 00:39:26,365
No, it's out of the question, sir.
560
00:39:27,741 --> 00:39:30,744
We have a strict schedule,
as part of an official tour.
561
00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:33,205
And to take the man back
to wherever he came from
562
00:39:33,288 --> 00:39:35,832
would be to turn back
in entirely the wrong direction.
563
00:39:36,792 --> 00:39:39,753
It'd take days, maybe a whole week,
off our important schedule.
564
00:39:39,836 --> 00:39:41,004
We can make that time up.
565
00:39:41,088 --> 00:39:43,090
The man's fortunate enough
we saved his life.
566
00:39:44,341 --> 00:39:47,344
We'll simply drop him off at the next
destination and that'll be that.
567
00:39:47,427 --> 00:39:50,013
He will be needlessly separated
from his home,
568
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:54,017
find himself in a strange country,
with a foreign language,
569
00:39:54,101 --> 00:39:55,310
away from his family.
570
00:39:55,394 --> 00:39:57,229
Not my concern.
571
00:39:57,312 --> 00:39:59,022
Another vessel
with less important duties
572
00:39:59,106 --> 00:40:00,524
might find time for such
573
00:40:01,441 --> 00:40:02,609
sentimental charity.
574
00:40:02,693 --> 00:40:05,404
We've done our important duties
and are on the way home.
575
00:40:06,113 --> 00:40:08,532
We're effectively
a glorified pleasure cruiser
576
00:40:08,657 --> 00:40:11,451
with an abundance of fuel
and time to spare.
577
00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:15,581
Sir, my decision as flag officer is no.
578
00:40:15,747 --> 00:40:19,668
And my decision
as admiral of the fleet is that we do.
579
00:40:26,842 --> 00:40:31,388
There is only one person
in command of the vessel.
580
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:35,559
It's the flag officer.
581
00:40:37,269 --> 00:40:41,648
If you'd recall your naval training,
you'd remember.
582
00:40:41,732 --> 00:40:44,526
I do recall my naval training,
as it happens.
583
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:47,321
Manning command posts on destroyers
during the war.
584
00:40:47,404 --> 00:40:51,033
The same war which, I believe,
you spent on shore duty.
585
00:40:51,992 --> 00:40:55,203
I have never abused my privileges,
and I don't intend to start now,
586
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:56,663
but this is the royal yacht.
587
00:40:56,747 --> 00:40:58,749
I am on it representing the crown,
588
00:40:58,832 --> 00:41:01,627
and I say turn it around
and take this man home.
589
00:41:25,692 --> 00:41:29,196
My dear friends,
after 20 eventful weeks at sea,
590
00:41:29,279 --> 00:41:33,659
visiting five continents
and covering many thousands of miles,
591
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:37,871
I'm happy to report that we saved
our greatest adventure for last.
592
00:41:39,706 --> 00:41:43,043
As the royal yacht britannia
turned naval rescue
593
00:41:43,126 --> 00:41:46,129
and we fished a shipwrecked mariner
out of the water.
594
00:41:47,381 --> 00:41:49,591
Our brilliant surgeons operated on him,
595
00:41:49,675 --> 00:41:52,052
then we went out of our way
to return him to his home,
596
00:41:52,135 --> 00:41:53,512
his family and his people.
597
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,387
And what people.
598
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:39,099
What a family.
599
00:42:41,393 --> 00:42:43,103
What a home.
600
00:43:11,006 --> 00:43:13,508
Should you Thursday club members
ever grow tired
601
00:43:13,592 --> 00:43:16,428
of your colorless
and empty lives in London,
602
00:43:17,763 --> 00:43:19,431
I suggest immediate relocation
603
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,642
to the discrete island nations
nestled around Tonga,
604
00:43:24,644 --> 00:43:28,106
surely the closest one can come
to heaven on earth.
605
00:43:30,776 --> 00:43:33,904
"Never have we received such a welcome,
606
00:43:34,279 --> 00:43:35,739
"or eaten so well.
607
00:43:37,616 --> 00:43:40,452
"Never have I experienced
such a willingness
608
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:43,955
"to set oneself free and enjoy.
609
00:43:45,999 --> 00:43:48,084
"And nowhere on earth,
610
00:43:48,168 --> 00:43:52,297
"and we have, by this point,
traveled across almost every inch,
611
00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:59,179
"have we encountered
such beautiful women."
612
00:44:14,402 --> 00:44:18,698
"These really have been
the most remarkable few days.
613
00:44:19,616 --> 00:44:22,327
"And it is with the greatest reluctance,
614
00:44:22,410 --> 00:44:26,039
"that after three days here,
we tear ourselves away,
615
00:44:26,456 --> 00:44:32,128
"each of us, not a little bit,
but a great deal in love."
616
00:44:46,810 --> 00:44:48,895
That is your husband's handwriting,
isn't it?
617
00:44:53,149 --> 00:44:54,693
You said you needed evidence.
618
00:44:59,072 --> 00:45:03,410
That's not a royal tour they're on,
it's a five-month stag night.
619
00:45:04,661 --> 00:45:06,121
Whores in every port.
620
00:45:13,003 --> 00:45:14,004
Good luck.
621
00:45:19,259 --> 00:45:20,260
Thank you.
622
00:46:01,843 --> 00:46:03,779
- Happy Christmas.
- Happy Christmas, your majesty.
623
00:46:03,803 --> 00:46:06,097
- Hello. Thank you.
- Thank god.
624
00:46:17,901 --> 00:46:19,945
All right, you two. Good, now...
625
00:46:25,033 --> 00:46:26,076
Thank you.
626
00:46:28,662 --> 00:46:29,704
Edward!
627
00:46:30,872 --> 00:46:32,207
Delighted to see you.
628
00:46:35,502 --> 00:46:36,628
Written it yet?
629
00:46:39,339 --> 00:46:41,299
I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
630
00:46:44,344 --> 00:46:48,765
Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes
about Christmas and the commonwealth?
631
00:46:49,724 --> 00:46:53,728
That's what they want me to say.
I mean what I want to say.
632
00:46:56,731 --> 00:46:57,732
Right.
633
00:47:04,572 --> 00:47:06,491
Have you got it yet? Home service.
634
00:47:06,574 --> 00:47:07,575
Nearly there, sir.
635
00:47:08,326 --> 00:47:09,619
Where exactly is Philip?
636
00:47:10,745 --> 00:47:13,581
- Graham land, last I heard.
- Where's that?
637
00:47:18,712 --> 00:47:21,840
- Dickie, where's Graham land?
- Antarctica. Is it?
638
00:47:22,257 --> 00:47:24,968
- Is that north or is that south?
- It's north.
639
00:47:25,135 --> 00:47:27,971
- No. Don't be silly, mommy, it's south.
- Does anyone actually know?
640
00:47:28,054 --> 00:47:31,016
Well, yes, because the arctic is north
641
00:47:31,099 --> 00:47:34,936
and so Antarctica is non-north,
isn't it, Dickie?
642
00:47:35,020 --> 00:47:36,396
What's "non-north"?
643
00:47:37,564 --> 00:47:38,606
Come.
644
00:47:40,608 --> 00:47:41,943
- It's time.
- Good.
645
00:47:42,152 --> 00:47:44,779
- Your majesties, your royal highnesses.
- Children.
646
00:47:45,613 --> 00:47:48,199
And now, a Christmas announcement
from his royal highness,
647
00:47:48,283 --> 00:47:49,534
the Duke of Edinburgh.
648
00:47:52,912 --> 00:47:53,955
Good morning.
649
00:47:54,289 --> 00:47:55,665
This is britannia.
650
00:47:55,957 --> 00:47:58,501
I'm speaking to you from the edge
of the south pacific.
651
00:47:59,169 --> 00:48:01,796
59 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
652
00:48:02,547 --> 00:48:05,050
You have to turn the globe upside down
to find this place.
653
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,469
Indeed, a few of us
aboard the royal yacht
654
00:48:07,552 --> 00:48:08,803
feel a little upside-down,
655
00:48:09,637 --> 00:48:11,222
having never been this far from home.
656
00:48:13,391 --> 00:48:14,768
The remoteness of the location
657
00:48:14,851 --> 00:48:17,062
presents one
with a precious opportunity to think
658
00:48:18,980 --> 00:48:22,484
about one's own life,
one's own way of living.
659
00:48:24,694 --> 00:48:28,156
We've traveled the world now
and seen all manner of tribes,
660
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,533
societies and cultures.
661
00:48:31,534 --> 00:48:34,454
We've had endless debates about
which places have the best systems
662
00:48:34,537 --> 00:48:37,499
of government or justice
or the most interesting religions.
663
00:48:38,166 --> 00:48:42,837
And we've been amazed, and impressed
by so much of what we have seen.
664
00:48:44,089 --> 00:48:46,674
Naturally, it has led us
to examine our own lives
665
00:48:47,801 --> 00:48:48,843
and the way we live.
666
00:48:50,178 --> 00:48:51,513
The things we take for granted.
667
00:48:52,263 --> 00:48:53,765
Is that really Philip?
668
00:48:54,057 --> 00:48:56,184
It's not some sort
of Philip impersonator?
669
00:48:57,936 --> 00:49:00,522
He just sounds so odd. So different.
670
00:49:05,401 --> 00:49:07,862
And here I am,
almost 10,000 miles from London,
671
00:49:09,906 --> 00:49:11,574
surrounded by empty water.
672
00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:19,457
It's a fine life on board a ship,
but it can be a solitary one.
673
00:49:22,919 --> 00:49:24,254
We are men together,
674
00:49:28,007 --> 00:49:29,551
but we each stand alone.
675
00:49:50,947 --> 00:49:53,491
I've been asked to tell you
that they're ready for you.
676
00:49:55,326 --> 00:49:56,327
Right.
677
00:49:59,539 --> 00:50:00,790
Last-minute changes?
678
00:50:02,792 --> 00:50:04,878
- Something like that.
- May I help?
679
00:50:05,628 --> 00:50:07,797
No. Thank you.
680
00:50:17,473 --> 00:50:18,933
Let's see if I can oil the wheels.
681
00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:21,811
All clear from broadcasting house.
682
00:50:27,734 --> 00:50:29,194
We are ready for you, ma'am.
683
00:50:30,987 --> 00:50:31,988
Yes.
684
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:39,621
Happy Christmas.
685
00:50:39,704 --> 00:50:42,040
- Happy Christmas, your majesty.
- Happy Christmas, ma'am.
686
00:50:45,084 --> 00:50:48,296
People of britain and the commonwealth
will now listen to the voice
687
00:50:48,379 --> 00:50:50,256
of her majesty the queen.
688
00:50:52,217 --> 00:50:53,468
Thank you. Ma'am.
689
00:50:58,890 --> 00:51:00,099
Once again,
690
00:51:00,183 --> 00:51:04,062
messages of Christmas greeting
have been exchanged around the world,
691
00:51:05,230 --> 00:51:07,398
carried upon the invisible wings
692
00:51:08,149 --> 00:51:09,901
of 20th-century science.
693
00:51:12,153 --> 00:51:16,532
And of all those many messages
from all corners of the commonwealth,
694
00:51:17,575 --> 00:51:19,494
none has given us greater pleasure
695
00:51:20,703 --> 00:51:22,747
than hearing those of my husband
696
00:51:24,540 --> 00:51:28,211
from the remote
and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
697
00:51:31,256 --> 00:51:32,507
To him I say,
698
00:51:34,175 --> 00:51:38,513
from all the members of your family
gathered here today,
699
00:51:40,098 --> 00:51:43,768
our very best wishes go to you
on board britannia.
700
00:51:46,521 --> 00:51:50,984
A very large, united family
is waiting for you here
701
00:51:57,407 --> 00:52:01,703
And will always be waiting for you,
wherever you are.
702
00:52:05,331 --> 00:52:07,000
- Her majesty.
- Her majesty.
703
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,013
I would like to express my gratitude
704
00:52:20,722 --> 00:52:23,266
to those men and women
of the commonwealth
705
00:52:24,017 --> 00:52:26,311
whose efforts in our great cities...
706
00:53:17,779 --> 00:53:18,905
There you are!
707
00:53:28,915 --> 00:53:29,916
You all right?
708
00:53:31,501 --> 00:53:32,502
Fine.
709
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:42,720
Her speech.
710
00:53:45,014 --> 00:53:46,015
What about it?
711
00:53:47,642 --> 00:53:51,270
Touching. Unexpectedly touching.
712
00:53:53,689 --> 00:53:54,774
Caught me off guard.
713
00:53:58,736 --> 00:54:00,822
I might even have to confess
to feeling a little...
714
00:54:04,283 --> 00:54:05,326
Homesick?
715
00:54:09,205 --> 00:54:10,206
Yes.
716
00:54:13,376 --> 00:54:14,377
Right.
