00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,100
[speaking indistinctly]
5
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:53,860
[Mike] My dear Baron...
6
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,180
Come on, boys!
7
00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:57,180
[Mike] ...my dear fellow members...
8
00:00:57,260 --> 00:00:58,100
[ship's horn blows]
9
00:00:58,180 --> 00:00:59,180
[man] Sir.
10
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:01,940
[Mike] ...we're now well into
the first leg of our tour.
11
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:03,260
At ease.
12
00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:04,780
[whistling]
13
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,980
[Mike] The Duke and I flew out
and joined the yacht in Mombasa.
14
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:10,140
-[Philip] How do you do?
-Very good, sir.
15
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:14,500
[Mike] From there, we departed for Ceylon
via the heavenly Seychelles.
16
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,260
Then through the beautiful Malayan states
and on to New Guinea.
17
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:21,660
Because the Duke
isn't much one for ceremony,
18
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:24,700
preferring sport and competition
to dinners and speeches,
19
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:26,940
everywhere we've gone,
we've had our own small-scale Olympics.
20
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:29,980
-Heave!
-[Mike] Come on, boys!
21
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:31,420
[all grunting]
22
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:35,700
We have a number
of gifted athletes on board:
23
00:01:35,780 --> 00:01:37,500
runners, rowers, footballers.
24
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:40,780
And we've pipped the locals pretty much
everywhere we've been.
25
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:45,380
-[drums playing]
-[cheering]
26
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:49,540
But in New Guinea, I'm afraid,
we really met our match.
27
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:55,580
Get up!
28
00:01:56,180 --> 00:01:58,580
[Mike] Thankfully,
there is always cricket...
29
00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:00,780
[Philip] Come on, Aldrich!
30
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:03,700
-Hooray!
-[Mike] ...where we can be relied upon
31
00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:05,060
to get our revenge.
32
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:09,620
Bowled!
33
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:10,740
-Howzat!
-Yes!
34
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:14,700
[Mike] Mainly because cricket as a sport
has never been seen before in New Guinea.
35
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:15,900
[chuckles]
36
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:17,980
At night, the adventures continue.
37
00:02:19,460 --> 00:02:23,220
On royal tours in the past,
when the Queen has been present,
38
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,980
the evenings have been polite occasions,
with everyone on best behavior.
39
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:28,260
[club members cheering]
40
00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:29,940
"Not this time.
41
00:02:30,940 --> 00:02:33,780
Philip, as you all know,
is a work-hard-play-hard man
42
00:02:33,860 --> 00:02:35,860
who would never stand
in the way of a bit of fun.
43
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:38,580
-[boisterous laughter]
-And in New Guinea, as it turns out,
44
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:40,940
there's no such thing as infidelity.
45
00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:42,340
[club members cheering
and thumping tables]
46
00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:45,860
Men are expected to indulge.
47
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:47,740
[tribeswomen singing]
48
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:49,020
[Baron] By the end of this tour,
49
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,900
I think we'll be able to make
a qualitative assessment
50
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:54,860
about where the finest women
in the world come from.
51
00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:57,980
But now, however, I can tell you
52
00:02:58,060 --> 00:03:00,780
the women of New Guinea
are sweeter than those of Ceylon
53
00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:02,780
and right up there
with those of Malaya!
54
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:04,420
[club members cheering]
55
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:08,940
I have shared these secrets
with you in good faith.
56
00:03:09,020 --> 00:03:13,220
The contents must, like all disclosures
of the Thursday Club, remain secret.
57
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,860
Ninety percent of the officers
on board are married
58
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:18,300
and would kill me if they knew
what I was writing!
59
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:19,740
[raucous cheering]
60
00:03:20,620 --> 00:03:23,420
Strict non-disclosure policies apply.
61
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,420
What happens on tour stays on tour.
62
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:32,740
But rest assured, I will keep you updated
on our forthcoming adventures.
63
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:33,660
[club members] Oh!
64
00:03:34,260 --> 00:03:37,940
I sense this will be a momentous
and eventful tour indeed.
65
00:03:38,020 --> 00:03:40,540
Ever your fellow member, Mike!"
66
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,900
[raucous cheering]
67
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:03,420
[shouting]
68
00:05:10,780 --> 00:05:15,180
We put our trust in our ruling class.
69
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:19,340
We put this great country in their hands!
70
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:20,740
And what do they do?
71
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:24,860
How do they pay back our trust?
72
00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:32,260
By taking us into an illegal war
under false pretenses!
73
00:05:32,340 --> 00:05:36,740
A shameful, dishonest misadventure!
74
00:05:36,820 --> 00:05:38,140
[cheering]
75
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:39,620
Murderers!
76
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,540
[man] You! What about that?
Bloody disgrace!
77
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:45,260
Dragging us all into ruin! Bastard!
78
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:48,860
[Mountbatten] The invasion
has been a disaster,
79
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,460
the UN General Assembly's up in arms,
80
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:52,900
as are the Americans.
81
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:56,180
As a result,
our Prime Minister has had no option
82
00:05:56,780 --> 00:06:00,700
but to declare
an immediate ceasefire and retreat.
83
00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:03,820
Without taking back the Suez Canal.
84
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:05,980
-Quite.
-So it's all been for nothing?
85
00:06:06,580 --> 00:06:08,140
No, rather worse than nothing.
86
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:13,260
Economically, the drain on
our currency reserves has been so ruinous
87
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:15,940
that we now face a run on sterling.
88
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,300
-The energy situation is just as bad.
-[Queen Mother sighs]
89
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:22,220
Panic buying has been reported
at petrol stations,
90
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:27,340
and... we expect fuel rationing to become
necessary as we move into winter.
91
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:33,740
It is no exaggeration to say this has been
the worst week for the country since 1939.
92
00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:38,860
The peace and consensus left
by your dear father has gone...
93
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:42,660
and our reputation for decency
and integrity
94
00:06:42,740 --> 00:06:44,620
-in matters of foreign policy
-[footsteps approaching]
95
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:45,700
has been shattered.
96
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:46,780
What is it?
97
00:06:48,260 --> 00:06:51,780
The Duke of Edinburgh
is on the telephone, Your Majesty.
98
00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:54,300
Hm? Goodness, that's a first. [laughs]
99
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:56,740
-From New Guinea, ma'am.
-Oh.
100
00:06:57,660 --> 00:06:59,740
-Sorry, do excuse me.
-[Mountbatten] Of course.
101
00:06:59,860 --> 00:07:00,780
-Give him my best.
-Say hello.
102
00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:06,580
[clears throat]
103
00:07:07,780 --> 00:07:08,660
Hello?
104
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:09,700
[Philip] Hello?
105
00:07:10,220 --> 00:07:11,700
Hello. Hello, Philip.
106
00:07:11,780 --> 00:07:12,860
[line crackling]
107
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:14,180
Hello? Can you hear me?
108
00:07:14,260 --> 00:07:16,220
Yes, yes, I can hear you.
109
00:07:19,260 --> 00:07:20,820
I can't hear you.
110
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:21,900
Can you hear me?
111
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:25,100
Yes. I can hear you.
112
00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:27,420
-Uh... hello?
-[line crackling]
113
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:28,420
Elizabeth?
114
00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:31,900
Can you hear me?
115
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:37,660
Philip.
116
00:07:40,580 --> 00:07:41,460
Oh.
117
00:07:47,180 --> 00:07:48,340
[Mike] Ready for you, sir.
118
00:07:53,620 --> 00:07:55,340
[Philip] Damn telephones.
119
00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:58,940
-Bloody things.
-[Mike] This is why I don't bother.
120
00:07:59,020 --> 00:07:59,860
[both laugh]
121
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:01,460
[man over PA] Assemble on deck
for the morning address.
122
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:10,020
[crew chattering]
123
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:11,180
At ease, gentlemen.
124
00:08:17,340 --> 00:08:20,220
Well, our adventure is only two weeks old,
125
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,340
and it's already taken us
nearly 20,000 miles
126
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:27,340
as we travel the far corners
of the world...
127
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:31,260
in an attempt to repair
the reputation of our country,
128
00:08:31,340 --> 00:08:33,740
currently being ruined by politicians.
129
00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:34,820
[laughing]
130
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:40,500
I would like to thank each and every one
of you for your professionalism
131
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:43,540
and discipline.
You have all been brilliant.
132
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:45,580
All, that is,
except for the football team...
133
00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:48,860
-[laughing]
-whose shoddy, leaky defense
134
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:51,420
and absence
of a natural left-sided player,
135
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:54,300
led to that rather humiliating defeat
by the Seamen's Club,
136
00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:56,540
of all bloody people,
at Port Swettenham.
137
00:08:56,620 --> 00:08:57,500
[laughing]
138
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:02,740
I should also like to say,
if I may, Admiral...
139
00:09:03,220 --> 00:09:04,060
Yes, sir.
140
00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:12,060
It's been wonderful for me,
on a personal level, to be back at sea.
141
00:09:13,060 --> 00:09:16,340
The Royal Navy has always occupied
a very special place in my life
142
00:09:16,420 --> 00:09:18,980
and, indeed, in my heart.
143
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:26,100
There are few greater pleasures in life
than serving on a ship such as this.
144
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,060
That's why it's also very difficult
to leave,
145
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:33,620
but leave I must and fly to Melbourne
to open the Olympics there,
146
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:36,180
where I must generally behave myself,
147
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:38,780
-shake a few hands, cut a few ribbons.
-[laughing]
148
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:42,060
It will be hell, I can assure you.
149
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,660
And I will be counting the minutes
until you come and pick me up again
150
00:09:45,740 --> 00:09:47,620
and we can continue our great adventure.
151
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:50,500
Now, in the meantime, behave yourselves,
152
00:09:50,580 --> 00:09:51,860
keep fit...
153
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,660
and don't drink all the bloody beer.
154
00:09:54,740 --> 00:09:57,740
[laughing]
155
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,300
[man] Well said, sir.
156
00:10:01,140 --> 00:10:03,100
[Philip] Well done, boys.
Well done, big man.
157
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:04,780
Good stuff. Thank you very much.
158
00:10:05,740 --> 00:10:07,380
Well done. Well done. Well done.
159
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:08,700
[speaking indistinctly]
160
00:10:08,780 --> 00:10:10,300
[laughing]
161
00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:17,100
[Philip] It's so depressing,
this Suez business.
162
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:19,580
Well, don't read about it then.
163
00:10:19,660 --> 00:10:21,820
I can't help myself.
What were they thinking?
164
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:25,220
-Shall we look at this schedule?
-[Philip] Will that cheer me up?
165
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:26,940
Probably not, no.
166
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:30,540
I've been stripping things out wherever
I can, but it's still pretty hectic.
167
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:33,860
We start with a uranium mine visit
in the Northern Territory.
168
00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:36,220
-Yippee.
-Agricultural parades in Sydney,
169
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:39,620
then over to a British Empire
Service League conference in Canberra.
170
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:42,060
And finally garden parties
at Government House.
171
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:43,180
-[Philip] Joy.
-But...
172
00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:46,660
I've come up with a stock speech
which you can memorize like a mynah bird
173
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:48,420
and deliver each step of the way.
174
00:10:51,460 --> 00:10:52,540
[Philip] Australia.
175
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:55,780
The name itself conjures up
such romantic images
176
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:58,340
of progress, ambition and possibility.
177
00:11:04,180 --> 00:11:06,820
It is said that the mark
of any great nation is the journey
178
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,740
-it has endured on its path to glory.
-[laughing]
179
00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:14,860
And what a journey Australia has taken.
180
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:20,460
[Philip] Oh, I see. So that's the smelter.
181
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:24,900
From those early European explorers
who landed at your shores,
182
00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:26,980
you've endured
great hardship and crisis.
183
00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:29,900
Less independently-minded nations
would've faltered,
184
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:31,700
sought support from the parent nation...
185
00:11:32,740 --> 00:11:34,900
once so integral to their governance.
186
00:11:34,980 --> 00:11:37,060
But Australia forged onwards.
187
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:39,460
[cattle lowing]
188
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:44,100
Like its rugged and, at times,
unforgiving landscape,
189
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:48,500
Australia showed true strength,
true mettle.
190
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,180
You have admirably
191
00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:57,780
developed every branch of your life
and culture...
192
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:06,220
and in just 200 years, have grown
into a unique and individual civilization,
193
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:09,860
which, I am sure, will rank among
the greatest that the world has seen.
194
00:12:09,940 --> 00:12:12,020
[crowd applauding]
195
00:12:16,420 --> 00:12:17,820
Australia!
196
00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:20,700
-Excellent speech.
-Good man.
197
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:22,540
Her name's Helen King.
198
00:12:23,140 --> 00:12:24,860
Twenty-nine years old,
writes for The Age,
199
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:26,940
one of the most prominent
newspapers here.
200
00:12:27,020 --> 00:12:28,740
She's asked to meet you.
201
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:30,740
Let's meet her.
202
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:32,500
What for?
203
00:12:32,820 --> 00:12:33,700
An interview.
204
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,180
Oh, I thought we'd decided no interviews.
205
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:39,420
We did, but in her case, I find myself
moved to make an exception.
206
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:42,260
-You saw the way she was looking at me?
-Yes.
207
00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:46,260
You don't think I'm being delusional?
Gentleman's radar and all that.
208
00:12:46,620 --> 00:12:47,460
No.
209
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:51,180
Not to mention the way she's followed us
every step of the tour. No...
210
00:12:51,260 --> 00:12:54,940
I think we can safely assume
this one's a friend, not an enemy.
211
00:12:56,460 --> 00:12:57,940
[laughs]
212
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:03,300
[cheering and applause on television]
213
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,180
[man on television] The car
carrying His Royal Highness,
214
00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:07,340
the Duke of Edinburgh,
215
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:09,700
makes its way out
onto the splendid red track
216
00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:12,660
here on this pleasant afternoon
in Melbourne.
217
00:13:13,620 --> 00:13:17,260
The crowds are ecstatic as they
get their first glimpse of the Duke,
218
00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:20,940
who is reported to be greatly enjoying
his time here in Australia.
219
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:27,100
And now we're nearly there as the Duke
takes his place in the Royal Box.
220
00:13:27,180 --> 00:13:29,100
[applause on television]
221
00:13:30,140 --> 00:13:33,700
I declare open the Olympic Games
of Melbourne...
222
00:13:34,940 --> 00:13:38,900
celebrating the 16th Olympiad
of the modern era.
223
00:13:38,980 --> 00:13:40,940
[crowd cheering]
224
00:13:44,900 --> 00:13:46,460
[Queen Mother] He looks happy.
225
00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:48,380
For once.
226
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,940
[man on television] The Duke smiles
as thunderous applause
227
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:53,980
and thousands of cheers...
228
00:13:54,060 --> 00:13:56,420
-Yes. Very happy.
-...from the excited spectators
229
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,220
reverberates around the crowded stadium.
230
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:00,700
You can thank me for that.
It was my idea.
231
00:14:00,780 --> 00:14:04,460
I always knew it was a good idea
to let him shine. Alone.
232
00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:06,100
What a magnificent moment.
233
00:14:07,140 --> 00:14:08,500
Yes, thank you, Mommy.
234
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:17,580
In ancient Greece,
the beginning of the Games
235
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:20,460
was heralded
by the homing of the pigeons,
236
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:21,740
and so too today.
237
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:35,700
Ready?
238
00:14:35,780 --> 00:14:36,980
-[Julie] Yes.
-[Michael] Yes.
239
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:41,980
-[secretary] Mrs. Parker. This way.
-Yes.
240
00:14:42,060 --> 00:14:42,940
Wait here.
241
00:14:44,780 --> 00:14:47,060
[man] Mrs. Parker. How can I help?
242
00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:51,020
I'd like to separate from my husband.
Better still, divorce.
243
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:54,700
Do you mind me asking, on what grounds?
244
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,300
The fact I never see him.
245
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:00,460
Absence isn't a legal ground for divorce.
246
00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:03,620
Neglect?
247
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:06,980
Nor that, I'm afraid. You're going to need
one of the big three:
248
00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:09,780
Adultery, unreasonable behavior
or insanity.
249
00:15:10,060 --> 00:15:12,060
I'm quite sure there has been adultery.
250
00:15:12,900 --> 00:15:14,420
We will need evidence.
251
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:16,740
That won't be easy.
252
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:18,500
Because of his job.
253
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:23,980
-Mike works for the Duke of Edinburgh.
-In what capacity?
254
00:15:24,060 --> 00:15:25,300
His private secretary.
255
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:27,260
Oh, I see.
256
00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:31,140
He's also his closest friend.
They're virtually inseparable.
257
00:15:33,620 --> 00:15:35,140
Are you really sure about this?
258
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:39,220
A divorce can leave a woman
quite isolated.
259
00:15:39,820 --> 00:15:44,100
Maybe things will get better
if you stick it out.
260
00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:47,860
I tend to think that's always
the best way for everyone.
261
00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:50,940
Grass is rarely greener.
262
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:55,500
I will come back when I have evidence.
263
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:01,980
[door opens]
264
00:16:08,340 --> 00:16:10,100
-[Evans] You're taking pethidine?
-[Eden] Yes.
265
00:16:10,180 --> 00:16:13,460
-[Evans] And the pentobarbitone?
-Yes, I'm taking the pentobarbitone,
266
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:14,900
but it doesn't work.
267
00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:17,940
I need something stronger.
268
00:16:18,020 --> 00:16:20,180
There is nothing stronger.
269
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:25,580
The fact is, in terms of pharmacology,
we've gone as far as we can.
270
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:36,500
[Elizabeth] I have the greatest sympathy
for your condition, Prime Minister.
271
00:16:37,020 --> 00:16:39,620
And I fully understand
the need for rest...
272
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:44,340
but given the challenges
that are now facing this country,
273
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:47,140
you don't feel
that you have a responsibility
274
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:49,580
to execute your duties
just a little longer?
275
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:53,580
I asked the physician the same question,
ma'am, but he insisted.
276
00:16:56,260 --> 00:16:59,740
He felt that I was at the very limit
of human endurance.
277
00:17:04,060 --> 00:17:05,900
But the country will be in safe hands.
278
00:17:05,980 --> 00:17:10,020
Mr. Butler will take charge in my absence.
279
00:17:10,580 --> 00:17:15,260
Mr. Head will oversee the withdrawal
of our troops from Egypt,
280
00:17:15,340 --> 00:17:21,020
and Mr. Macmillan will oversee
the... economic situation.
281
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:23,140
Economic crisis.
282
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:27,420
How long do you imagine you'll be away?
283
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:28,780
Not long, ma'am.
284
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:31,140
A few weeks.
285
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:36,260
Well, I suppose one can always
reach you at short notice.
286
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:38,980
It's a point I always make
to my private secretaries.
287
00:17:39,940 --> 00:17:43,580
Yes, I'm away, but Windsor
really is just round the corner.
288
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:45,340
And Norfolk, too.
289
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:48,020
County Durham, isn't it?
290
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:51,020
Your family home.
291
00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:53,660
Jamaica, ma'am.
292
00:17:55,580 --> 00:17:56,660
Your family home?
293
00:17:57,420 --> 00:17:59,420
Where the doctor felt I should be going.
294
00:18:00,020 --> 00:18:01,580
He specified Jamaica?
295
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:04,540
He specified sunshine, tropical sunshine.
296
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:07,540
He said he felt
my life might depend on it.
297
00:18:11,740 --> 00:18:15,140
What would he prescribe
for the rest of us... do you imagine?
298
00:18:19,060 --> 00:18:20,060
Prime Minister.
299
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,300
Your Majesty.
300
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:27,060
[bell rings]
301
00:18:27,140 --> 00:18:28,460
[door opens]
302
00:18:35,540 --> 00:18:36,380
[door closes]
303
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,660
[chattering]
304
00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:57,060
[Eileen] Excuse me! Excuse me!
305
00:18:57,620 --> 00:18:59,900
You work in there, don't you?
306
00:18:59,980 --> 00:19:03,100
At the Thursday Club as a waitress?
307
00:19:03,180 --> 00:19:05,060
-Who's asking?
-My name is Eileen.
308
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:06,260
Do you have a minute?
309
00:19:06,940 --> 00:19:08,700
Uh, what can I do for you?
310
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:14,220
I'd like you to tell me
what goes on... inside.
311
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:17,220
-Are you a reporter or something?
-No, no, nothing like that.
312
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:21,700
Just a wife of one of the members
and mother to his children.
313
00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:23,780
You may know him, his name is Mike.
314
00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:25,540
There are so many gentlemen.
315
00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:26,780
Mike Parker.
316
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:31,460
You do know him, don't you?
317
00:19:33,340 --> 00:19:37,180
Mike would've made sure of that.
You're just his type.
318
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:40,060
Look, one day you will be married too,
319
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:42,580
and I sincerely hope
that you make a good choice.
320
00:19:43,060 --> 00:19:47,020
But if you don't and you meet a man
who makes you unhappy,
321
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:48,860
then, as a woman, I would wish for you
322
00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:53,220
to be able to leave that man
easily, painlessly.
323
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:57,780
So if there is anything you can tell me
that might make my leaving easier...
324
00:19:57,860 --> 00:20:01,580
I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker,
but I know nothing of your husband.
325
00:20:03,060 --> 00:20:06,260
-Here is my address and telephone number.
-Excuse me. Coming through here.
326
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:07,740
[Eileen] Just...
327
00:20:10,700 --> 00:20:12,740
If anything should occur to you.
328
00:20:13,460 --> 00:20:14,300
[sighs]
329
00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:27,020
[chattering]
330
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,380
-We need two more martinis.
-All right.
331
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:34,620
[man laughing]
332
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:39,780
[man] Lily! Lily! Lily!
333
00:20:40,780 --> 00:20:42,300
[telephone ringing]
334
00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:46,180
[knocks on door]
335
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,820
-Martin.
-Do you have a minute, Michael?
336
00:20:49,380 --> 00:20:50,540
I think it's important.
337
00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:51,780
Come in.
338
00:20:55,340 --> 00:20:57,460
I'm going to ask you
to go through it again.
339
00:20:57,540 --> 00:21:00,940
Yes. The provenance
of this rumor is quite arcane.
340
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:03,780
-Your sister...
-Sister-in-law.
341
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:08,180
...had lunch with her aunt,
who had just spent the weekend at...
342
00:21:08,260 --> 00:21:09,420
Cholmondeley Castle.
343
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,340
At which, one of the other guests
was the bridge partner...
344
00:21:13,420 --> 00:21:14,260
Tennis.
345
00:21:16,020 --> 00:21:20,340
...of the solicitor visited
by Eileen Parker.
346
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:22,020
I think that's it.
347
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:24,060
That's half Britain already.
348
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:31,780
And all of these people now know
Mrs. Parker... is seeking a divorce?
349
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:33,500
-[secretaries chattering]
-Yes.
350
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:35,740
That's unfortunate.
351
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:38,060
It'll be hard to contain.
352
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:44,300
And what are Mrs. Parker's...
353
00:21:45,940 --> 00:21:46,860
grievances?
354
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:50,700
Neglect, unreasonable behavior...
355
00:21:51,580 --> 00:21:53,940
and... infidelity.
356
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,540
Just a wife's suspicions,
nothing concrete,
357
00:21:57,620 --> 00:22:00,100
but I believe specific mention
was made of a lunch club
358
00:22:00,180 --> 00:22:03,100
where Lieutenant Commander Parker
and the Duke of Edinburgh are--
359
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:05,420
Don't tell me. Frequent guests.
360
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:08,700
Actually, founder members.
361
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:12,900
Keep an eye on this for me, would you?
362
00:22:13,740 --> 00:22:14,620
A close eye.
363
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,420
-[secretary 1] Three carbon copies.
-[secretary 2] Will do.
364
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:19,300
[secretary 1] Thank you.
365
00:22:27,700 --> 00:22:28,700
-Here we go.
-Madam.
366
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:30,580
-Mind your step.
-Thank you very much.
367
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:46,940
[knock on door]
368
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:49,820
-Ready, sir?
-[Philip] Certainly am.
369
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,220
His Royal Highness,
the Duke of Edinburgh.
370
00:22:53,780 --> 00:22:55,980
-Thank you for seeing me, sir.
-Not at all.
371
00:22:57,820 --> 00:23:02,900
Well, um, just bear with me
while I put my things down and set up.
372
00:23:02,980 --> 00:23:04,380
-Please.
-Thank you.
373
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:16,620
-I'm just going to put a microphone here.
-Can I help?
374
00:23:17,540 --> 00:23:18,900
No, it's fine, thank you.
375
00:23:19,780 --> 00:23:21,140
[buttons clicking]
376
00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:24,780
Right, I think that's it.
377
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:28,580
Right, well, I'll, uh...
I'll leave you two to it, then.
378
00:23:28,660 --> 00:23:30,220
Thank you, Michael. Please.
379
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:32,180
[Helen] Thank you.
380
00:23:36,060 --> 00:23:37,100
Ah. Ready when you are.
381
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:40,140
Well, we can't really start
without passing comment
382
00:23:40,220 --> 00:23:43,260
on the situation in Egypt
and the international response.
383
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,820
Why?
384
00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:48,660
Huge demonstrations
on the streets of London,
385
00:23:49,140 --> 00:23:52,540
Eden caving in to international pressure
and calling a ceasefire.
386
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:55,540
You don't think it's a significant moment
for your country?
387
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:57,900
Perhaps, but I'm not going to
pass comment on that.
388
00:23:58,740 --> 00:24:00,020
-Why not?
-It's not my job.
389
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,540
It's not what members
of the royal family do.
390
00:24:03,380 --> 00:24:04,740
You must have thoughts about it.
391
00:24:04,820 --> 00:24:07,660
Of course, I'm not a vegetable, but...
392
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:10,980
my thoughts on issues like that
remain a private matter.
393
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:15,740
One can't help wondering where it leaves
394
00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:18,900
-Britain's place in the world.
-Well, I'm sure Britain will be fine.
395
00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:22,460
The view from over here is that
Britain has been publicly humiliated.
396
00:24:22,540 --> 00:24:23,500
Oh.
397
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,980
As someone
with surprisingly progressive views,
398
00:24:27,540 --> 00:24:28,740
that must concern you.
399
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:30,780
I have progressive views?
400
00:24:30,860 --> 00:24:32,460
You don't think that you do?
401
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:34,980
Televising the coronation?
402
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:36,540
Advocating modernization?
403
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:37,860
That's just common sense.
404
00:24:37,940 --> 00:24:40,700
If you're a progressive,
one prepared to make changes.
405
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:42,740
Well, let's just say
that I learned very early on
406
00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:45,380
that it's wise not
to take things for granted.
407
00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:46,980
You're referring to your family.
408
00:24:48,100 --> 00:24:50,580
How they had to leave Greece
in the revolution.
409
00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:54,740
Your grandfather was shot,
your father fled to avoid being shot.
410
00:24:54,820 --> 00:24:56,580
[clears throat] Yes. Correct.
411
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:01,700
Well, you see, there's so much
that people don't really know about you.
412
00:25:05,820 --> 00:25:08,260
I can assure you
it's all been rather embellished.
413
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,260
-The truth is really quite dull.
-Dull?
414
00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:14,740
How you personally fled Corfu
in an orange crate?
415
00:25:15,260 --> 00:25:17,660
And then a childhood in exile,
always on the move.
416
00:25:17,740 --> 00:25:20,140
"Exile" is too strong a word,
too emotional.
417
00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:22,540
It's just how it was for everyone.
You just got on with it.
418
00:25:26,140 --> 00:25:27,660
But it can't have been easy.
419
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:33,340
Was the trauma of being in exile
what brought on your mother's illness,
420
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:34,260
do you think?
421
00:25:38,820 --> 00:25:39,660
What illness?
422
00:25:41,020 --> 00:25:44,780
Well, the information I have
is that she suffered a breakdown.
423
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:53,340
Things weren't easy for her.
424
00:25:54,980 --> 00:25:56,500
But she got on with it.
425
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:59,740
But she was taken away, wasn't she?
To an institution.
426
00:26:00,380 --> 00:26:03,300
Then your father promptly abandoned
the family, ran off with his mistress?
427
00:26:03,380 --> 00:26:06,180
I don't know what you've been reading
or who you've been speaking to,
428
00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:08,900
but both my mother and my father
played very active roles
429
00:26:08,980 --> 00:26:10,300
in all their children's lives.
430
00:26:10,380 --> 00:26:13,700
It isn't true you didn't see your father
for the last six years of his life?
431
00:26:13,780 --> 00:26:15,980
If we're to remain friends,
we really should move on.
432
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:18,620
All right.
433
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:22,060
May I ask you about your education?
434
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:24,260
Sir.
435
00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:31,060
Sir.
436
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:34,780
-What about it?
-That was pretty unusual, too.
437
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:38,380
I went to boarding school in Britain.
I don't see what's unusual about that.
438
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:41,860
For a while, but then you were
taken out and sent to school in Germany.
439
00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:43,540
Because my sisters lived there.
440
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:45,380
-Your Nazi sisters.
-Oh, Christ.
441
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:48,340
One of whom was married
to a close personal friend of Hitler's.
442
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:50,500
I was at school in Germany
for less than a year
443
00:26:50,580 --> 00:26:52,420
before I returned to the United Kingdom.
444
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:54,060
What point are you trying to make here?
445
00:26:54,140 --> 00:26:55,980
I think it's pretty clear
which side I was on.
446
00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:57,980
My record in the war speaks for itself.
447
00:26:58,060 --> 00:26:59,420
I'm simply saying your background
448
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:02,340
is so much more interesting and complex
than people might imagine.
449
00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:05,180
-Do they imagine anything?
-I think people are curious.
450
00:27:07,340 --> 00:27:09,820
Here is this striking, handsome man,
451
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:12,980
walking beside the most famous woman
in the world.
452
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,140
Who is he?
453
00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:19,180
Well, I hate to disappoint...
454
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,380
but he really is just a normal man
455
00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:28,260
in what, from the outside,
probably looks like rather a strange life,
456
00:27:28,340 --> 00:27:33,100
but from the inside,
really is no different to anyone else's.
457
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:38,140
I don't think there's anything about you
that's like anyone else.
458
00:27:40,020 --> 00:27:42,340
From a young age,
you were effectively orphaned,
459
00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:46,020
your favorite sister, Cecile,
also a Nazi, died in a plane crash--
460
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:47,580
I really think we should move on now.
461
00:27:47,660 --> 00:27:49,740
What kind of impact does that have
on a man?
462
00:27:50,380 --> 00:27:53,380
That's the kind of trauma
that will doubtless have a bearing on how
463
00:27:53,460 --> 00:27:56,420
your own children and the future
King of England are brought up.
464
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:57,820
That's enough.
465
00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:04,460
I think people have a right
to know about their leaders, don't you?
466
00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:08,220
Especially ones that can't be thrown out
with free and fair elections.
467
00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:15,140
Don't ever let my vanity
get the better of me again.
468
00:28:15,220 --> 00:28:17,380
[thunder rumbling]
469
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:35,140
[glass shatters]
470
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:37,580
[Philip] Christ!
471
00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:40,860
-Christ!
-[glass shatters]
472
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:13,260
[telephone ringing]
473
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:19,740
Kensington 8953. Hello?
474
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:25,540
We met...
475
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:29,340
a few times...
476
00:29:31,220 --> 00:29:34,220
in... various locations.
477
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:41,300
Afterwards, he'd... tell me about his job.
478
00:29:43,420 --> 00:29:44,780
The company he keeps.
479
00:29:47,980 --> 00:29:49,340
He didn't mention a wife.
480
00:29:51,980 --> 00:29:52,860
Or children.
481
00:29:56,820 --> 00:29:57,780
I'm so sorry.
482
00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:05,620
If you are really sorry
and want to make my life easier...
483
00:30:08,460 --> 00:30:09,380
Of course.
484
00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:13,780
We will need you
to make an official statement
485
00:30:13,860 --> 00:30:15,740
and give evidence in court.
486
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:17,860
I can't do that.
I would lose my job, my reputation.
487
00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:20,580
-I'm afraid that's what the law requires.
-No!
488
00:30:24,140 --> 00:30:24,980
No.
489
00:30:25,540 --> 00:30:28,700
So you telephoned me and agreed
to come here today for what, precisely?
490
00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:32,460
To put color into my nightmares?
491
00:30:33,260 --> 00:30:34,100
I'm sorry.
492
00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:42,500
[Charteris] My sources now tell me
493
00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:44,580
Mrs. Parker has gone
as far as bringing a waitress
494
00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:47,460
from the Thursday Lunch Club
to see her divorce lawyer.
495
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:51,380
I gather the waitress has not provided
hard evidence on this occasion,
496
00:30:52,020 --> 00:30:53,340
just hearsay.
497
00:30:53,420 --> 00:30:55,100
Though we're obviously getting close.
498
00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:58,860
This cannot be allowed to go
one single step further, Martin.
499
00:30:58,940 --> 00:30:59,780
No.
500
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:02,620
If Mrs. Parker succeeds
in getting her divorce,
501
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:06,660
the newspapers would make
the not unreasonable assumption
502
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:10,540
that anything that
Lieutenant Commander Parker has done,
503
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:12,700
the Duke of Edinburgh has done, too.
504
00:31:12,780 --> 00:31:18,340
We do not want words like "infidelity"
and "divorce" swirling around.
505
00:31:18,540 --> 00:31:19,380
No.
506
00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:22,260
Whether there is any truth
in the allegations or not,
507
00:31:22,340 --> 00:31:24,820
it would shatter the integrity
of the royal marriage...
508
00:31:25,820 --> 00:31:27,660
and jeopardize the entire monarchy.
509
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:31,580
Any ideas?
510
00:31:34,140 --> 00:31:35,460
[Philip] Stand easy. Stand easy.
511
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:37,780
Right, our grown-up duties are done.
512
00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:40,700
The Olympics are officially up
and running, which means, gentlemen,
513
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:45,140
we can now get on with the important
business at hand: our tour!
514
00:31:45,220 --> 00:31:46,500
[cheering]
515
00:31:48,980 --> 00:31:51,340
We have nine weeks
between now and our arrival home.
516
00:31:51,420 --> 00:31:54,700
In that time, we will be visiting
the remotest parts of the Commonwealth,
517
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:57,940
but I'm delighted to say
that during that time,
518
00:31:58,020 --> 00:31:59,780
we will be without reporters.
519
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,380
[cheering]
520
00:32:01,460 --> 00:32:04,180
We will be without photographers.
521
00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:07,460
We will be out of the world's eye!
522
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:10,740
And with that in mind,
Michael's got a suggestion.
523
00:32:12,140 --> 00:32:13,300
Thank you. Right, gentlemen.
524
00:32:13,380 --> 00:32:16,020
Uh, yes, I'd like to propose
something a little unusual,
525
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,380
something I'm fairly sure none of us
has ever participated in before:
526
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:23,500
-a beard-growing competition!
-[cheering]
527
00:32:23,580 --> 00:32:28,140
Now, special dispensation has been given
to the dozen or so men
528
00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:31,860
who already have beards to shave them off
and they'll act as judges
529
00:32:31,940 --> 00:32:33,780
for the rest of our efforts, all right?
530
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:34,740
Yes!
531
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:36,940
-Hip, hip!
-[crew] Hooray!
532
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,180
-Hip, hip!
-[crew] Hooray!
533
00:32:39,260 --> 00:32:42,140
-Hip, hip! Hooray!
-[crew] Hooray!
534
00:32:53,620 --> 00:32:55,460
[man] It's nothing you've not seen before.
535
00:32:55,540 --> 00:32:57,420
We can't see it now, Bill.
536
00:32:57,500 --> 00:32:59,500
[laughing]
537
00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:20,620
[knock on door]
538
00:33:22,420 --> 00:33:25,060
Right, in their infinite wisdom,
the powers that be have decided
539
00:33:25,140 --> 00:33:27,540
they would like you to make
a Christmas speech.
540
00:33:27,620 --> 00:33:30,500
What? To who? The men on board?
541
00:33:30,580 --> 00:33:31,860
Uh, no.
542
00:33:31,940 --> 00:33:35,420
To the half a billion people that make up
the Commonwealth of Nations.
543
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:36,900
From the Lord Chamberlain's office.
544
00:33:36,980 --> 00:33:39,620
They'd like you to make a companion
Christmas speech to the Queen's.
545
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:43,900
A thousand words, preferably uplifting
in tone and Christian in sentiment.
546
00:33:43,980 --> 00:33:45,540
With as many references as possible
547
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:48,780
to the importance of family
and the sanctity of marriage.
548
00:33:49,860 --> 00:33:50,980
What if I don't want to?
549
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:54,180
I'm afraid no provisions
appear to have been made
550
00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:57,380
for your having an opinion about that
or, indeed, anything else.
551
00:33:59,060 --> 00:34:00,380
[Adeane] Because of seniority,
552
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:04,460
your speech will come second,
the usual time, three p.m.
553
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:07,980
However, on Christmas morning,
554
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:10,420
the Duke of Edinburgh is expected
to be in Graham Land,
555
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:13,700
which is in the Antarctic Peninsula,
which is ten hours behind us,
556
00:34:13,780 --> 00:34:17,030
so he'll have to get up
at the crack of dawn to make his speech.
557
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,620
May I ask why he's making a speech?
558
00:34:20,420 --> 00:34:21,540
Ma'am?
559
00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:23,190
Well, it's not usual, is it?
560
00:34:24,380 --> 00:34:27,140
No, it is extraordinary.
561
00:34:27,220 --> 00:34:29,860
Um, I think the feeling was
562
00:34:29,940 --> 00:34:32,620
that with Your Majesty
and His Royal Highness
563
00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:36,730
having not been seen
in public together for so long,
564
00:34:36,820 --> 00:34:39,260
being, at least, heard together--
565
00:34:39,340 --> 00:34:42,230
No, I see. It might reassure people
that all is still well.
566
00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:45,700
-[chuckles] I wouldn't go that far, ma'am.
-Well, I would.
567
00:34:46,220 --> 00:34:47,700
And I think it's a good idea.
568
00:34:48,780 --> 00:34:49,620
Thank you, Michael.
569
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:56,460
May I just ask...
570
00:34:57,980 --> 00:34:59,540
just out of curiosity...
571
00:35:00,820 --> 00:35:05,420
what's the longest amount of time that you
and Lady Adeane have been separated?
572
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:06,460
Uh...
573
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:08,820
Three weeks, I think.
574
00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:14,220
I see. And would you say that you thrive
or suffer from the separation?
575
00:35:15,140 --> 00:35:17,540
Uh, we don't much care for it,
ma'am.
576
00:35:18,220 --> 00:35:20,620
Helen, in particular, believes...
577
00:35:21,540 --> 00:35:23,660
little good comes from
a couple being apart,
578
00:35:23,740 --> 00:35:26,060
that a husband and wife belong together.
579
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:31,580
Yes, of course.
580
00:35:34,500 --> 00:35:36,140
-Ma'am.
-[Elizabeth clears throat]
581
00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:12,100
[Morse code beeping]
582
00:36:19,180 --> 00:36:20,780
-Brown?
-Yes, sir?
583
00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:25,340
-[Philip] What's up?
-Australian naval patrol boat,
584
00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:27,540
the HMAS Warreen,
has put out a distress call.
585
00:36:27,620 --> 00:36:30,500
They picked up a fishing boat,
out of power, it's drifted for days.
586
00:36:30,580 --> 00:36:33,140
One man left alive,
he nearly drowned trying to fix the hull.
587
00:36:33,220 --> 00:36:35,620
He suffered a broken rib cage,
and his lung may be punctured.
588
00:36:35,700 --> 00:36:37,660
And the Warreen
doesn't have a doctor on board.
589
00:36:37,740 --> 00:36:39,900
-The man is dying.
-Are we the nearest ship?
590
00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:42,140
There's a French freighter
three miles further out.
591
00:36:42,220 --> 00:36:43,740
[Smith] We are the nearest ship.
592
00:36:44,740 --> 00:36:45,940
Set your course.
593
00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:47,060
Bring her about.
594
00:36:48,460 --> 00:36:49,500
[captain] Coming about.
595
00:36:49,580 --> 00:36:50,660
Ninety degrees.
596
00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:09,580
Hoist.
597
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:11,380
[man] Up, up. He's coming up.
598
00:37:12,260 --> 00:37:13,300
Steady him.
599
00:37:13,380 --> 00:37:16,180
-[beeping]
-[man speaking indistinctly over PA]
600
00:37:25,020 --> 00:37:26,020
[medic] Straps.
601
00:37:31,420 --> 00:37:32,460
At ease.
602
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:35,740
We fished him out of the water,
floating near his boat.
603
00:37:36,540 --> 00:37:38,380
The rest of his crew must have drowned.
604
00:37:38,460 --> 00:37:40,980
There was no log on board. We don't
know who he is or where he's from.
605
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:43,420
It doesn't matter who he is
or where he's from.
606
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:46,740
He was the captain of a ship...
that's all that counts.
607
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:49,220
-[medic] We'll need a saline drip.
-He's one of us.
608
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,540
[medic] Immediately. Fluids. Now, man.
609
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:53,580
No, it's out of the question, sir.
610
00:37:54,140 --> 00:37:54,980
Why?
611
00:37:55,060 --> 00:37:57,900
[Smith] We have a strict schedule,
as part of an official tour.
612
00:37:57,980 --> 00:37:59,980
And to take the man back
to wherever he came from
613
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:02,900
would be to turn back
in entirely the wrong direction.
614
00:38:03,740 --> 00:38:06,380
It'd take days, maybe a whole week,
off our important schedule.
615
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:07,900
We can make that time up.
616
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:10,020
The man's fortunate enough
we saved his life.
617
00:38:10,860 --> 00:38:13,780
We'll simply drop him off at the next
destination and that'll be that.
618
00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:16,220
He will be needlessly separated
from his home.
619
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:20,180
Find himself in a strange country,
with a foreign language,
620
00:38:20,260 --> 00:38:21,420
away from his family.
621
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:23,180
[Smith] Not my concern.
622
00:38:23,260 --> 00:38:26,380
Another vessel with less important duties
might find time for such...
623
00:38:27,180 --> 00:38:28,500
sentimental charity.
624
00:38:28,580 --> 00:38:31,220
We've done our important duties
and are on the way home.
625
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:34,060
We're effectively
a glorified pleasure cruiser
626
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:36,940
with an abundance of fuel
and time to spare.
627
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:40,740
Sir, my decision as Flag Officer is no.
628
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:45,180
And my decision
as Admiral of the Fleet is that we do.
629
00:38:47,340 --> 00:38:48,180
[Smith clears throat]
630
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:56,380
There is only one person
in command of the vessel.
631
00:38:58,660 --> 00:39:00,340
It's the Flag Officer.
632
00:39:01,460 --> 00:39:05,780
If you'd recall your naval training...
you'd remember.
633
00:39:05,860 --> 00:39:08,580
I do recall my naval training,
as it happens.
634
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:11,260
Manning command posts on destroyers
during the war.
635
00:39:11,340 --> 00:39:14,940
The same war which, I believe,
you spent on shore duty.
636
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:18,700
I have never abused my privileges,
and I don't intend to start now,
637
00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:20,220
but this is the Royal Yacht.
638
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:22,180
I am on it representing the Crown,
639
00:39:22,260 --> 00:39:25,620
and I say turn it around
and take this man home.
640
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:51,340
[Mike] My dear friends,
after 20 eventful weeks at sea,
641
00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:55,860
visiting five continents
and covering many thousands of miles,
642
00:39:56,340 --> 00:39:59,780
I'm happy to report that we saved
our greatest adventure for last.
643
00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:04,540
As the Royal Yacht Britannia
turned naval rescue
644
00:40:04,620 --> 00:40:07,860
and we fished a shipwrecked mariner
out of the water.
645
00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:11,060
Our brilliant surgeons operated on him,
646
00:40:11,140 --> 00:40:14,740
then we went out of our way to return him
to his home, his family and his people.
647
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,100
[women clamoring]
648
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:54,940
[Mike] And what people.

[chattering]
650
00:40:57,460 --> 00:40:58,740
What a family.
651
00:41:00,660 --> 00:41:02,340
What a home.

[Mike] Should you Thursday Club members
ever grow tired
655
00:41:32,020 --> 00:41:34,740
of your colorless
and empty lives in London,
656
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:37,060
I suggest immediate relocation
657
00:41:37,140 --> 00:41:40,340
to the discrete island nations
nestled around Tonga...
658
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:45,740
surely the closest one can come
to heaven on Earth.
659
00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:50,700
"Never have we received such a welcome,
660
00:41:51,340 --> 00:41:54,380
-or eaten so well.
-[Islanders singing]
661
00:41:54,460 --> 00:41:57,260
Never have I experienced
such a willingness
662
00:41:57,340 --> 00:42:00,700
to set oneself free and enjoy.

[club members cheering]
664
00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:04,540
And nowhere on Earth,
665
00:42:04,620 --> 00:42:09,100
and we have, by this point, traveled
across almost every inch,
666
00:42:09,180 --> 00:42:15,100
have we encountered
such beautiful women."

[Baron] "These really have been
the most remarkable few days.
670
00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:37,420
And it is with the greatest reluctance,
671
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:40,980
that after three days here,
we tear ourselves away,
672
00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:47,100
each of us, not a little bit,
but a great deal in love."

You said you needed evidence.

That's not a royal tour they're on,
it's a five-month stag night.

[Queen Mother] Edward!
689
00:44:40,820 --> 00:44:42,260
Delighted to see you.
690
00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:46,220
[Mike] Written it yet?
691
00:44:46,740 --> 00:44:47,580
No.
692
00:44:48,820 --> 00:44:50,700
I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.
693
00:44:53,740 --> 00:44:58,220
Might I suggest some gung-ho platitudes
about Christmas and the Commonwealth?
694
00:44:58,900 --> 00:45:02,620
That's what they want me to say.
I mean what I want to say.
695
00:45:05,780 --> 00:45:06,700
Right.
696
00:45:12,980 --> 00:45:14,980
Have you got it yet? Home Service.
697
00:45:15,060 --> 00:45:16,020
Nearly there, sir.
698
00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:18,500
[Margaret] Where exactly is Philip?
699
00:45:19,020 --> 00:45:21,780
-Graham Land, last I heard.
-Where's that?
700
00:45:26,660 --> 00:45:29,540
-[Margaret] Dickie, where's Graham Land?
-[Elizabeth] Antarctica. Is it?
701
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:32,660
-Is that north or is that south?
-[Queen Mother] It's north.
702
00:45:32,740 --> 00:45:35,700
-Don't be silly, it's south.
-[Margaret] Does anyone actually know?
703
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:38,500
Well, yes, because the Arctic is north
704
00:45:38,580 --> 00:45:42,220
and so Antarctica is non-north,
isn't it, Dickie?
705
00:45:42,300 --> 00:45:43,620
What's "non-north"?
706
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:44,660
[knock on door]
707
00:45:44,740 --> 00:45:45,740
[Philip] Come.
708
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:48,820
-It's time.
-Good.
709
00:45:48,900 --> 00:45:51,580
-Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses.
-Oh, children.
710
00:45:52,180 --> 00:45:54,980
[man on radio] Now, a Christmas
announcement from His Royal Highness,
711
00:45:55,060 --> 00:45:56,220
the Duke of Edinburgh.
712
00:45:59,460 --> 00:46:00,460
Good morning.
713
00:46:00,540 --> 00:46:02,100
This is Britannia.
714
00:46:02,180 --> 00:46:04,860
I'm speaking to you from the edge
of the South Pacific.
715
00:46:05,420 --> 00:46:07,940
59 degrees south and 60 degrees west.
716
00:46:08,660 --> 00:46:11,340
You have to turn the globe upside down
to find this place.
717
00:46:11,740 --> 00:46:14,860
Indeed, a few of us aboard the Royal Yacht
feel a little upside-down...
718
00:46:15,460 --> 00:46:16,980
having never been this far from home.
719
00:46:17,060 --> 00:46:17,980
[chuckles]
720
00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:20,380
The remoteness of the location
721
00:46:20,460 --> 00:46:22,900
presents one
with a precious opportunity to think...
722
00:46:24,380 --> 00:46:28,420
about one's own life,
one's own way of living.
723
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:33,100
We've traveled the world now
and seen all manner of tribes,
724
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,500
societies and cultures.
725
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:39,220
We've had endless debates about
which places have the best systems
726
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:42,300
of government or justice
or the most interesting religions.
727
00:46:42,820 --> 00:46:47,260
And we've been amazed, and impressed
by so much of what we have seen.
728
00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:51,060
Naturally, it has led us
to examine our own lives...
729
00:46:52,140 --> 00:46:53,140
and the way we live.
730
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:55,860
The things we take for granted.
731
00:46:56,340 --> 00:47:00,100
Is that really Philip?
It's not some sort of Philip impersonator?
732
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:01,620
Why?
733
00:47:01,860 --> 00:47:04,860
He just sounds so odd. So different.
734
00:47:08,860 --> 00:47:11,380
And here I am,
almost 10,000 miles from London...
735
00:47:13,180 --> 00:47:14,980
surrounded by empty water.
736
00:47:17,620 --> 00:47:22,540
It's a fine life on board a ship...
but it can be a solitary one.
737
00:47:25,740 --> 00:47:27,020
We are men together...
738
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:32,260
but we each stand alone.
739
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:45,140
[knock on door]
740
00:47:52,580 --> 00:47:55,420
I've been asked to tell you
that they're ready for you.
741
00:47:56,860 --> 00:47:57,700
Right.
742
00:48:00,780 --> 00:48:02,340
Last-minute changes?
743
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:05,900
-Something like that.
-May I help?
744
00:48:06,660 --> 00:48:09,060
No. Thank you.
745
00:48:13,660 --> 00:48:14,980
[man 1] Signal strength's good.
746
00:48:15,700 --> 00:48:17,940
-[equipment clicks]
-[man 2] Far be it from me to...
747
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:20,060
Let's see if I can oil the wheels.
748
00:48:20,860 --> 00:48:22,700
[man 2] All clear from Broadcasting House.
749
00:48:22,780 --> 00:48:24,740
[man 2 speaking indistinctly]
750
00:48:27,820 --> 00:48:29,220
We are ready for you, ma'am.
751
00:48:31,060 --> 00:48:31,900
Yes.
752
00:48:38,340 --> 00:48:39,220
Happy Christmas.
753
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:41,780
-Happy Christmas, Your Majesty.
-Happy Christmas, ma'am.
754
00:48:43,380 --> 00:48:44,380
[tunes radio]
755
00:48:44,460 --> 00:48:47,540
[man on radio] People of Britain and the
Commonwealth will now listen to the voice
756
00:48:47,620 --> 00:48:49,780
of Her Majesty the Queen.
757
00:48:51,300 --> 00:48:52,780
Thank you. Ma'am.
758
00:48:53,540 --> 00:48:54,820
[equipment whirs]
759
00:48:57,780 --> 00:48:58,940
Once again,
760
00:48:59,020 --> 00:49:03,020
messages of Christmas greeting
have been exchanged around the world...
761
00:49:03,900 --> 00:49:05,860
carried upon the invisible wings...
762
00:49:06,820 --> 00:49:08,420
of 20th-century science.
763
00:49:10,460 --> 00:49:14,700
And of all those many messages
from all corners of the Commonwealth,
764
00:49:15,620 --> 00:49:17,940
none has given us greater pleasure
765
00:49:18,580 --> 00:49:20,860
than hearing those of my husband...
766
00:49:22,460 --> 00:49:25,980
from the remote
and lonely spaces of Antarctica.
767
00:49:28,980 --> 00:49:30,140
To him, I say...
768
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:35,620
from all the members of your family
gathered here today...
769
00:49:37,300 --> 00:49:40,980
our very best wishes go to you
on board Britannia.
770
00:49:43,500 --> 00:49:48,020
A very large, united family
is waiting for you here...
771
00:49:53,900 --> 00:49:58,020
and will always be waiting for you,
wherever you are.
772
00:50:01,420 --> 00:50:03,020
-Her Majesty.
-Her Majesty.
773
00:50:13,460 --> 00:50:15,820
[Elizabeth] I would like
to express my gratitude
774
00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:18,740
to those men and women
of the Commonwealth
775
00:50:19,380 --> 00:50:21,540
whose efforts in our great cities...
776
00:51:11,180 --> 00:51:12,260
[Mike] There you are!
777
00:51:15,540 --> 00:51:16,620
[Philip clears throat]
778
00:51:21,860 --> 00:51:22,940
You all right?
779
00:51:24,300 --> 00:51:25,140
Fine.
780
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:34,980
Her speech.
781
00:51:37,180 --> 00:51:38,020
What about it?
782
00:51:39,620 --> 00:51:43,500
Touching. Unexpectedly touching.
783
00:51:45,460 --> 00:51:46,460
Caught me off guard.
784
00:51:50,220 --> 00:51:52,660
I might even have to confess
to feeling a little...
785
00:51:55,700 --> 00:51:56,860
Homesick?
786
00:52:00,540 --> 00:52:01,380
Yes.
787
00:52:04,380 --> 00:52:05,220
Right.
