1
00:00:08,550 --> 00:00:12,896
<i>Gina! Gina! Ella!</i>

2
00:00:13,263 --> 00:00:16,483
- Gina! Carina! Ella! Ella!
- Ella!

3
00:00:18,268 --> 00:00:20,521
- Gina!
- Gina!

4
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,829
Gina! Carina!

5
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:32,283
Ella! Ella!

6
00:00:57,808 --> 00:00:59,776
<i>Hello, Windsor, this is Operations.</i>

7
00:00:59,851 --> 00:01:02,229
- Are you hearing me?
- Hear you clearly.

8
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:04,239
<i>Stand by for testing five.</i>

9
00:01:05,148 --> 00:01:09,153
- Testing now.
- Testing five...

10
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:24,167
Mummy.

11
00:01:24,251 --> 00:01:26,674
I've come to make a final representation.

12
00:01:27,671 --> 00:01:30,675
And to beseech you not to do this.

13
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:33,886
I wish to address my people. It's my right.

14
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:36,813
You have forfeited that right.

15
00:01:36,888 --> 00:01:38,515
There are things I wish to say.

16
00:01:38,682 --> 00:01:41,982
In which capacity?
You're no longer their king.

17
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:43,482
As a private individual.

18
00:01:43,562 --> 00:01:46,236
No one wants to hear
from a private individual.

19
00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:49,034
Well, I beg to differ.
The newspapers are for me.

20
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,283
The best thing for everyone would be
if you said your goodbyes

21
00:01:52,362 --> 00:01:56,583
quietly, privately,
and disappeared into the night.

22
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,501
Preferably never to return.

23
00:02:00,871 --> 00:02:03,499
- I didn't say that.
- But you thought it.

24
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,551
Admit it.

25
00:02:15,385 --> 00:02:20,687
Elizabeth! Margaret! Come inside!

26
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:22,894
<i>This is Windsor Castle.</i>

27
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:27,356
<i>There follows an important announcement
from His Royal Highness,</i>

28
00:02:27,481 --> 00:02:28,653
<i>the Duke of Windsor.</i>

29
00:02:29,358 --> 00:02:33,738
A few hours ago, I discharged my last duty

30
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:37,241
as King and Emperor.

31
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:42,755
And now that I have been succeeded
by my brother,

32
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:45,499
the Duke of York,

33
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:51,096
my first words must be to
declare my allegiance to him.

34
00:02:53,757 --> 00:02:55,759
This I do with all my heart.

35
00:02:57,636 --> 00:02:58,683
Come along, girls.

36
00:02:58,762 --> 00:03:03,063
<i>You all know the reasons which have
impelled me to renounce the throne.</i>

37
00:03:03,141 --> 00:03:05,485
<i>I have found it impossible to carry</i>

38
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,283
<i>the heavy burden of responsibility,
and to discharge my duties as King,</i>

39
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,987
as I would wish to do,

40
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:21,119
without the help and support
of the woman I love.

41
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,546
<i>This decision has been made
less difficult to me</i>

42
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:29,718
<i>by the sure knowledge that my brother
has one matchless blessing...</i>

43
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:33,673
<i>- Come in. Both of</i> you.
<i>- ...enjoyed by so many of you,</i>

44
00:03:33,755 --> 00:03:36,008
<i>and not bestowed on me.</i>

45
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:41,772
<i>A happy home, with his wife and children.</i>

46
00:03:43,306 --> 00:03:45,149
<i>And now we all have a new King.</i>

47
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:53,488
<i>I wish him, and you, his people,
happiness and prosperity,</i>

48
00:03:56,361 --> 00:03:57,988
<i>with all my heart.</i>

49
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:00,949
<i>God bless you all.</i>

50
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:04,953
<i>God save the King.</i>

51
00:06:22,299 --> 00:06:24,267
All right, Charles, all right. Stop it.

52
00:06:28,972 --> 00:06:30,849
Well...

53
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:31,975
Good luck, darling.

54
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:34,482
Thank you.

55
00:06:36,855 --> 00:06:40,200
And thank you for all this. It looks splendid.

56
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:44,158
This is the first proper home I've ever had.

57
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:05,493
- Tommy.
- Good morning, Your Majesty.

58
00:08:05,568 --> 00:08:07,741
- You tracked me down.
- Slightly, ma'am.

59
00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:09,664
If Your Majesty has no objection,

60
00:08:09,739 --> 00:08:11,707
I thought we might attend
to the Cabinet papers

61
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:15,879
after your meeting with Their Majesties.
Your schedule allows for 20 minutes.

62
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:17,752
- For the papers?
- No, ma'am,

63
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:21,552
20 minutes with Their Majesties,
then directly onto the paperwork.

64
00:08:21,626 --> 00:08:23,003
And then?

65
00:08:24,587 --> 00:08:27,591
Things will become more manageable
once everything settles down.

66
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:28,675
Will it?

67
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:31,762
And once the palace is your main residence.

68
00:08:34,305 --> 00:08:38,401
Our understanding is that he is
arriving at Southampton as we speak.

69
00:08:38,476 --> 00:08:40,604
- Alone?
- We believe so, ma'am.

70
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:42,818
He's something.

71
00:08:47,944 --> 00:08:51,619
Some last-minute adjustments
to the funeral arrangements.

72
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:55,328
If you are in agreement, ma'am,
we thought that the Duke of Windsor

73
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:58,630
should join the Dukes of Gloucester,
Kent and Edinburgh.

74
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:01,128
That'd be in the row behind me.

75
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:02,550
Breathing down my neck.

76
00:09:02,625 --> 00:09:05,299
We could, if Her Majesty likes,
increase the distance,

77
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:06,880
put him back a few rows.

78
00:09:06,963 --> 00:09:10,638
Any chance that could stretch
to being on the steps outside the chapel?

79
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:13,266
I'm sorry, I know he's your son.

80
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:17,349
A son who gave up the throne
and, effectively, killed my other son.

81
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:30,324
Why not put him there?
Close to the Prime Minister?

82
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:32,785
Thank you, ma'am.

83
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:34,616
Cry baby.

84
00:09:34,699 --> 00:09:36,747
- What?
- It's what he calls Winston.

85
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:41,210
He and his wife have
nasty little nicknames for all of us.

86
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:44,842
I'll tell you yours, if you ask me nicely.

87
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,011
No, thank you.

88
00:09:49,172 --> 00:09:50,845
Shirley Temple.

89
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:14,827
Ready, sir.

90
00:10:26,709 --> 00:10:30,714
<i>This is indeed a sad arrival in my country.</i>

91
00:10:32,173 --> 00:10:38,146
<i>I have crossed the Atlantic
for the funeral of a dear brother,</i>

92
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:41,566
<i>and to comfort Her Majesty, Queen</i> Mary.

93
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:47,068
My heart goes out
to the widowed Queen Mother

94
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:50,572
and her two daughters in their grief.

95
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,369
Thank you.

96
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:19,934
- Down there, look.
- Right, that's enough. Look sharp.

97
00:11:56,758 --> 00:11:59,477
His Royal Highness,
the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.

98
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:19,656
Dear Mama.

99
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,182
Poor Bertie.

100
00:12:43,805 --> 00:12:45,057
So young.

101
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,695
One can only be thankful
for all the years one had him.

102
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:57,031
So wonderfully thoughtful and caring.

103
00:12:57,151 --> 00:13:00,701
An angel to his mother, wife and children.

104
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:06,211
I honestly believe
he never thought of himself at all.

105
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:11,713
He really was the perfect son.

106
00:13:15,211 --> 00:13:18,010
I can't imagine how difficult
it must be for you.

107
00:13:20,049 --> 00:13:22,928
You've been very much
in our thoughts and prayers.

108
00:13:23,011 --> 00:13:24,228
Ours?

109
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:28,316
You'd be wise not to mention
that woman's name for the next few days.

110
00:13:28,391 --> 00:13:31,270
- I mentioned no name.
- The implication was enough.

111
00:13:31,352 --> 00:13:32,979
If you say so.

112
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:36,612
I offer that in the spirit of maternal advice

113
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:41,162
that you may emerge from this trip with
any remaining respect or affection at all.

114
00:13:54,751 --> 00:13:57,630
I had hoped all this might wait.

115
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,677
I'm afraid not, ma'am.

116
00:14:04,260 --> 00:14:05,762
I understand.

117
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:08,640
Shall we?

118
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:31,288
Now, the top sheet is simply a summary
of all the contents of the box.

119
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:35,626
And we have in this case,
a five-power conference first. See...

120
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:37,802
- That's this month?
- But you have to go to...

121
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,721
- What's all this?
- More detail.

122
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:43,471
- So, we start with this one?
- Yes, Your Majesty.

123
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:04,863
He's here.

124
00:15:06,989 --> 00:15:08,991
Don't rush, darling.

125
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:11,954
It'll take him an hour to get to the front door.

126
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:14,130
And then it'll take him an hour
to get through the bloody thing.

127
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:20,962
Now, don't forget
the two things we discussed.

128
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,139
- I won't.
- The children keeping my surname.

129
00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:25,182
- Yes.
- And us staying here in Clarence House,

130
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,761
not moving to Buckingham Palace.
Both very important.

131
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:29,221
I know. I won't forget.

132
00:15:29,303 --> 00:15:31,021
- And don't be nervous.
- I'm not nervous.

133
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:33,145
You look nervous.

134
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:35,067
Be firm. Just lay down the law.

135
00:15:35,143 --> 00:15:37,987
I know he's Winston Churchill and all that,
but remember who you are.

136
00:15:38,062 --> 00:15:39,109
- You're...
- Nobody.

137
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:40,531
...the Queen of England.

138
00:15:56,956 --> 00:15:58,583
Don't let me overrun.

139
00:15:59,333 --> 00:16:01,461
The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.

140
00:16:20,938 --> 00:16:22,155
Your Majesty.

141
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:31,491
I so looked forward every Tuesday
to my audiences with your...

142
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:34,661
Dear Papa.

143
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:39,757
His late Majesty was a hero

144
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:43,260
to me and to all his people.

145
00:16:44,378 --> 00:16:45,550
Thank you.

146
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:51,473
Do sit down, Prime Minister.

147
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:56,858
I've ordered tea.
Or something stronger, perhaps.

148
00:16:56,933 --> 00:16:59,561
Dear. Did no one explain?

149
00:16:59,644 --> 00:17:03,194
The Sovereign never offers

150
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:06,776
a Prime Minister refreshment.

151
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:08,907
Nor a chair.

152
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:12,115
<i>The precedent set
by your great-great-grandmother</i>

153
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:16,328
was to keep us standing
like Privy Counselors.

154
00:17:16,410 --> 00:17:20,165
To waste time is a grievous sin.

155
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:23,297
And if there is one thing I've learned
in 52 years of public service,

156
00:17:23,501 --> 00:17:29,599
it is that there is no problem so complex,
nor crisis so grave,

157
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:35,681
that it cannot be satisfactorily resolved
within 20 minutes. So...

158
00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:39,480
Shall we make a start?

159
00:17:41,644 --> 00:17:43,237
<i>She's in with the PM now.</i>

160
00:17:43,980 --> 00:17:47,450
And I made it abundantly clear
how important it was

161
00:17:47,525 --> 00:17:49,448
that she and the children take your name.

162
00:17:49,527 --> 00:17:51,655
<i>It's your name, too.</i>

163
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,489
<i>It's the name I gave you.</i>

164
00:17:55,324 --> 00:17:59,795
Having Mountbatten
as the name of the royal house,

165
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:05,843
having your first-born son, Charles,
as the first Mountbatten king,

166
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:09,718
<i>well, that would be some achievement,
wouldn't it?</i>

167
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:15,012
Now, I would like to discuss your coronation.

168
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:16,596
Yes.

169
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:20,400
I have a proposed date which has been
run past Cabinet and approved.

170
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:22,693
Summer, I hope.

171
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,655
Indeed. Next year.

172
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:29,033
Next year? Why the delay?

173
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:33,488
For your benefit entirely.

174
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:37,166
A long period
between accession and coronation

175
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:39,960
was of great value to your father.

176
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:42,505
He had five months.

177
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:46,551
You're proposing I have 16
before I am crowned.

178
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:49,970
Yes.

179
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:57,474
That would take anyone weeks to read.

180
00:18:57,553 --> 00:19:01,854
- Anyway, thanks for the drink.
- Thank you, Jock.

181
00:19:01,932 --> 00:19:03,730
- Sir.
- Sir.

182
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:08,856
Foreign Office first, let's surprise Anthony.

183
00:19:12,902 --> 00:19:14,745
- And?
- Nothing.

184
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:19,246
We discussed the end of rationing
of sugar, butter and meat,

185
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:23,080
the situation in Korea,
and the date of my coronation.

186
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,209
I barely got a word in.

187
00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:26,256
Of course not, the man barely draws breath.

188
00:19:26,374 --> 00:19:28,843
- You have to butt in.
- You can't!

189
00:19:28,918 --> 00:19:30,636
Not in the private audience.

190
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:34,216
So, what about the issues
I asked you to address?

191
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:36,676
- I will find the right time.
- When?

192
00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,602
- Why would he do that?
- What?

193
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:41,271
Why would he want to delay my coronation?

194
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:43,850
What are you talking about? What...

195
00:19:43,933 --> 00:19:44,934
Elizabeth!

196
00:20:13,921 --> 00:20:17,425
I realize we've had our differences
in the past.

197
00:20:18,634 --> 00:20:20,807
If you'll allow me.

198
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:27,561
But for now, let us think only
of what we have in common.

199
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:34,242
You've lost a husband and father,

200
00:20:35,317 --> 00:20:36,944
I a brother.

201
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:44,286
Let us be united in grief, on equal terms,

202
00:20:44,368 --> 00:20:45,995
for someone we all loved.

203
00:20:48,539 --> 00:20:52,089
I'll be here for a few days after the funeral

204
00:20:52,168 --> 00:20:54,091
before I return to New York.

205
00:20:55,421 --> 00:20:58,891
Perhaps we might find time
to see one another.

206
00:20:59,008 --> 00:21:01,227
For lunch, or a walk.

207
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:07,308
- Yes.
- I'd like that very much.

208
00:21:15,399 --> 00:21:17,117
Your Majesties.

209
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:18,695
- We must go, girls.
- So soon?

210
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,656
Yes, to Westminster Hall.

211
00:21:23,407 --> 00:21:24,909
To see Papa.

212
00:21:39,048 --> 00:21:41,972
With this family, when you're in,
you're never quite sure that you're in.

213
00:21:42,051 --> 00:21:44,804
But when you're out, there's no doubt at all.

214
00:21:44,887 --> 00:21:46,264
You're out.

215
00:21:52,645 --> 00:21:54,647
Why can't you just be civil to him, Mummy?

216
00:21:55,397 --> 00:21:58,401
Let bygones be bygones.

217
00:21:58,484 --> 00:22:02,409
Sixteen years since the abdication,
and he was close to Papa.

218
00:22:02,488 --> 00:22:04,490
Because the man is a monster!

219
00:22:05,241 --> 00:22:07,915
The responsibility of becoming King
killed your father,

220
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:12,920
and I will never forgive his selfishness
and weakness in passing on the burden.

221
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:19,634
He has done nothing for this family.

222
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:23,055
And don't be fooled by his obsequiousness.

223
00:22:24,677 --> 00:22:27,931
The only reason he's even civil to us
is because he wants to leech off us

224
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:31,605
with a rich allowance to keep
that Jezebel divorcee of his in the manner

225
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:33,106
to which she's become accustomed.

226
00:22:33,269 --> 00:22:34,942
Well, I've spoken to the lawyers

227
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,773
and we have a little surprise
in store for them.

228
00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:42,949
<i>My dear darling Peaches.</i>

229
00:22:44,405 --> 00:22:46,453
<i>They say hell is an inferno.</i>

230
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:51,379
<i>What a sunless, frozen hell
we both escaped in England.</i>

231
00:22:53,122 --> 00:22:56,968
<i>And what a bunch of ice-veined monsters
my family are.</i>

232
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,587
<i>How cold and thin-lipped.</i>

233
00:23:01,297 --> 00:23:03,641
<i>How dumpy and plain.</i>

234
00:23:04,008 --> 00:23:06,431
<i>How joyless and loveless.</i>

235
00:23:07,845 --> 00:23:09,768
<i>The way Cookie treated me,</i>

236
00:23:09,847 --> 00:23:12,441
<i>looking down at me
through her dumpy nose,</i>

237
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:16,730
<i>it was as much as I could do
not to let her have it with both barrels.</i>

238
00:23:17,104 --> 00:23:19,277
<i>And Shirley Temple, who has the rank now</i>

239
00:23:19,356 --> 00:23:23,111
<i>to silence her common mother,
sadly, has no mind of her own.</i>

240
00:23:25,613 --> 00:23:29,789
<i>But I remained civil
because I am following your advice</i>

241
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,919
<i>to keep them on side, keep a foot in the door</i>

242
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:40,256
<i>and see what we can get
out of the wretched circus.</i>

243
00:23:42,671 --> 00:23:47,552
<i>Perhaps even a raise on the allowance,
who knows?</i>

244
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:53,562
<i>It's the only revenge I can think of
for the insult of your non-invitation,</i>

245
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,361
<i>to drain their coffers to our benefit.</i>

246
00:24:05,861 --> 00:24:07,704
<i>Thinking always of you</i>

247
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:12,206
<i>and counting the minutes
until I am back in your arms.</i>

248
00:24:12,701 --> 00:24:14,169
<i>Your loving David.</i>

249
00:24:15,871 --> 00:24:19,171
We therefore commit his body to the ground,

250
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:27,176
earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,

251
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:33,974
in sure and certain hope
of the resurrection to eternal life,

252
00:24:34,056 --> 00:24:37,151
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

253
00:25:12,553 --> 00:25:16,854
- What is that thing?
- I inherited it from my grandfather.

254
00:25:16,932 --> 00:25:20,812
Well, as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm
was not blessed with a normal physique.

255
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:23,484
No, the withered arm.

256
00:25:23,564 --> 00:25:27,285
But he loved to shoot,
so modifications had to be made.

257
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,784
They didn't modify a shotgun,
they modified a cannon.

258
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,299
You are a cheat, Hannover.

259
00:25:50,007 --> 00:25:54,888
<i>I realize that beyond these walls,
a country mourns,</i>

260
00:25:54,970 --> 00:26:00,318
struggles under a program
of austerity and rationing,

261
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:03,145
but what to do?

262
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:06,406
It might all appear indulgent,

263
00:26:06,482 --> 00:26:11,409
but in keeping the estate
and the local community going,

264
00:26:11,487 --> 00:26:15,242
we are all doing our share tonight
for the economy.

265
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:18,874
So, let us start with a toast.

266
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:28,341
- To His late Majesty, the King.
- The King.

267
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:35,850
- And the Queen that has succeeded him.
- The Queen.

268
00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:37,103
And to our generous host

269
00:26:38,514 --> 00:26:41,108
and the royal house that is now in his name.

270
00:26:41,183 --> 00:26:44,107
To our host and the royal house.

271
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:49,192
- To the royal house Mountbatten.
- To the royal house Mountbatten.

272
00:26:56,907 --> 00:26:59,751
Right, come on. You can do it.

273
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:01,044
Kick it back.

274
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,169
Kick it back, boy. Go on.

275
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:11,805
- It's not going to bite you. Kick it.
- He's a Burnley center-back.

276
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,473
Tell me, do you play football with your boy?

277
00:27:13,549 --> 00:27:17,645
- When I get to see him, yeah. Rugby.
- Rugby? Chance would be a fine thing.

278
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:20,063
This one doesn't seem to
want to do anything but dream.

279
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,642
Your old man's struggling a bit, is he?

280
00:27:23,725 --> 00:27:25,477
Well, come on then. Show him how it's done.

281
00:27:25,561 --> 00:27:29,191
Right. Come on then, Charles.
Let's give you something to aim at.

282
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,778
That thing's been buzzing around
all morning.

283
00:27:33,861 --> 00:27:35,579
The top of his trousers.

284
00:27:36,738 --> 00:27:39,958
Yeah. Taking aerial photographs
for some magazine.

285
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:41,706
Is that right?

286
00:27:43,579 --> 00:27:45,923
It was always my dream to join the Air Force.

287
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:50,177
But Dickie put me in the Navy.

288
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:52,755
He felt the social connections
would be better.

289
00:27:54,590 --> 00:27:57,264
Judging by where you ended up,
I'd say the plan worked.

290
00:27:58,594 --> 00:28:00,938
Come on, Charles. Bash it.

291
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:06,318
Not bloody bad, Charles. Not bloody bad.

292
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:09,355
No, Daddy, not the bushes!

293
00:28:11,607 --> 00:28:14,702
Dad! Daddy! Not the bushes!

294
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:20,123
Right, Charlie Boy, here we go.
I will teach you...

295
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:32,419
Come on, then!

296
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,252
<i>It's vile.</i>

297
00:29:06,328 --> 00:29:09,047
Tommy Lascelles comes up to me
at the funeral, of all places,

298
00:29:09,122 --> 00:29:13,969
asks me for a word, then tells me,
to my face, "Do you credit it?"

299
00:29:14,044 --> 00:29:18,094
I come all this way,
back to this gaping wound of a country,

300
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:22,804
forbidden to bring my own wife,
to pay respects to my dear, late brother,

301
00:29:22,886 --> 00:29:27,266
and they compound an already traumatic
and painful trip with this humiliation.

302
00:29:27,349 --> 00:29:30,319
The timing does seem
particularly unfortunate.

303
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:31,896
It's an outrage.

304
00:29:33,146 --> 00:29:37,367
- How much is the allowance?
- 10,000 a year.

305
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:40,491
The agreement between Bertie and me
was that I would give up everything

306
00:29:40,570 --> 00:29:44,416
and go into exile and keep a low profile
in return for a pension

307
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:48,667
that was clearly meant to be
for the term of my whole life, not his.

308
00:29:48,745 --> 00:29:52,090
Now he's barely cold
and Cookie turns off the bloody tap!

309
00:29:52,165 --> 00:29:55,385
- How dare she?
- You don't know that it was her.

310
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:57,804
- Of course it was her.
- And don't call her that.

311
00:29:58,046 --> 00:30:00,765
Why not?
She's fat, common and looks like a cook.

312
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:03,476
Did they offer any justification?

313
00:30:03,552 --> 00:30:09,525
That it would appear insensitive
for a member of the extended royal family

314
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:12,648
to be seen to be rewarded and live in luxury.

315
00:30:12,728 --> 00:30:14,321
"Extended royal family."

316
00:30:14,521 --> 00:30:17,775
I was the most senior member
of that family, the King!

317
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:21,244
Now, we barely make ends meet.
Every day is a struggle.

318
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:24,740
You live in great style from what I've heard.

319
00:30:25,574 --> 00:30:29,454
Perhaps you should take a leaf
out of your late brother's book.

320
00:30:29,536 --> 00:30:34,337
- He was frugal, you know.
- He was born frugal. In every department.

321
00:30:34,416 --> 00:30:38,387
And that frugality earned him great favor.

322
00:30:38,587 --> 00:30:41,136
And he passed it on
to the women in his family.

323
00:30:41,214 --> 00:30:44,013
Who just spent 70,000
renovating Clarence House,

324
00:30:44,092 --> 00:30:46,936
so no lectures, please,
about the frugality of the new Queen.

325
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:50,641
- That was her husband.
- What, The Foundling?

326
00:30:50,724 --> 00:30:53,022
- Don't call him that.
- Why not?

327
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,689
I'd call him by his name, if he had one.

328
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:05,744
His Royal Highness, Prince Ernst August
of Hannover, Your Majesty.

329
00:31:05,822 --> 00:31:07,745
- He's here.
- What?

330
00:31:07,824 --> 00:31:11,874
He apologizes for the lack of warning,
but said it was important.

331
00:31:13,955 --> 00:31:17,084
All right. You'd better show him in.

332
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:29,813
Dear Aunt, forgive the intrusion...

333
00:31:29,971 --> 00:31:32,315
...I come directly from Broadlands.

334
00:31:32,391 --> 00:31:34,234
What were you doing there?

335
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:37,939
Please tell me you weren't shooting,
one day after the funeral.

336
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:42,739
I assure you the sport was very limited.

337
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:46,038
And your late son was in our thoughts
the whole time.

338
00:31:46,655 --> 00:31:50,159
Anyway, in the evening,
we gathered for dinner.

339
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:52,919
The food is normally quite good
at Broadlands.

340
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:56,294
- Outstanding.
- Especially the duck, from memory.

341
00:31:56,373 --> 00:31:59,252
- With oranges.
- Rum-soaked raisins.

342
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:01,419
A Prussian recipe.

343
00:32:01,503 --> 00:32:03,847
Spätzle, too. Remarkable!

344
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,095
Crispy, with cheese and breadcrumbs.

345
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:07,141
Delicious!

346
00:32:07,217 --> 00:32:08,514
Go on.

347
00:32:08,844 --> 00:32:14,476
Yeah. So, after dinner,
our host started to brag

348
00:32:14,558 --> 00:32:17,687
about how the royal house
would soon be in his name.

349
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:19,400
Nonsense.

350
00:32:19,479 --> 00:32:23,450
The Royal Warrant of 1917
established the House of Windsor.

351
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:26,786
My late husband presided over it himself.

352
00:32:26,862 --> 00:32:30,958
But the name Windsor would
only be carried by the male descendants.

353
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:34,252
It did not take into account
the female descendants.

354
00:32:34,327 --> 00:32:36,295
They would take the name
from their husbands,

355
00:32:36,371 --> 00:32:38,544
- which, in this case, would mean...
- Mountbatten.

356
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:41,046
Well...

357
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,965
- He had us raising glasses to it.
- Glasses containing what?

358
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:51,474
- Champagne.
- You were drinking champagne

359
00:32:53,013 --> 00:32:55,766
the day after my son's funeral?

360
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:15,081
Come in.

361
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:24,632
I had to see you.

362
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:27,597
Come in.

363
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:37,440
I got home last night
to find this on the kitchen table.

364
00:33:58,078 --> 00:33:59,295
She's gone.

365
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:02,545
All her belongings have gone.

366
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,132
I'm so sorry.

367
00:34:07,754 --> 00:34:09,131
No, you're not.

368
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:11,049
No.

369
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:14,181
I'm not.

370
00:34:49,838 --> 00:34:54,469
- So, will you sue her for divorce?
- No, I'd lose my job.

371
00:34:54,551 --> 00:34:57,179
Well, you'll keep your job.
I'll make sure of that.

372
00:34:57,262 --> 00:34:59,765
It would make me a divorcee.

373
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:07,609
But not the guilty party.

374
00:35:10,191 --> 00:35:15,038
Still, I'd be soiled goods.
I'd be tainted with scandal.

375
00:35:17,532 --> 00:35:19,079
You'd also be free.

376
00:35:20,869 --> 00:35:22,086
To remarry.

377
00:35:28,585 --> 00:35:29,882
One day.

378
00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:33,889
Yes.

379
00:35:40,221 --> 00:35:42,144
- Down there, I think.
- Maybe, that way.

380
00:35:42,724 --> 00:35:45,978
Christ. Hide. There, there. There. Go.

381
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:57,118
- Is it this one?
- Yeah, I think so.

382
00:35:57,197 --> 00:35:59,575
- No, no, it's not. It's this one.
- Right.

383
00:36:01,117 --> 00:36:02,118
Come in.

384
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:05,001
Sorry to barge in. Have you got a second?

385
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,172
- Of course, sir.
- May I?

386
00:36:06,247 --> 00:36:07,248
Please.

387
00:36:08,458 --> 00:36:10,506
That's what I want to talk to you about.

388
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:15,598
- Flying.
- Yes, sir.

389
00:36:15,674 --> 00:36:17,847
You're an experienced air jockey,
and I've an idea.

390
00:36:17,926 --> 00:36:20,770
And look,
please disavow me of it if I'm wrong,

391
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:24,650
but to be up there in a plane,
it's the biggest thrill of them all.

392
00:36:25,475 --> 00:36:29,446
- It is, sir.
- I mean, really. The biggest.

393
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:31,773
It is, sir.

394
00:36:32,941 --> 00:36:39,244
Once you break through the clouds
to the clear blue beyond, the space,

395
00:36:41,116 --> 00:36:45,087
the silence, the transcendent beauty,

396
00:36:45,161 --> 00:36:49,382
it's church for the irreligious man.

397
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:52,552
That's what I'd hoped you'd say.
Where could I learn?

398
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,839
White Waltham Airfield,
they've a good school there.

399
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:57,139
- Would you take me?
- Of course, sir.

400
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:58,262
Good man.

401
00:37:01,594 --> 00:37:05,064
You know, my sister,
my favorite sister, actually,

402
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:07,017
Cecile, died in a plane.

403
00:37:08,393 --> 00:37:10,816
It went down over Ostend in a storm.

404
00:37:11,563 --> 00:37:12,815
Eight months pregnant.

405
00:37:14,399 --> 00:37:17,744
She went into labor mid-flight
and they found the child,

406
00:37:18,611 --> 00:37:20,613
next to her in the wreckage.

407
00:37:23,324 --> 00:37:24,621
A boy-

408
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:50,985
New part of the uniform, Peter.

409
00:37:58,318 --> 00:37:59,319
Anyone we know?

410
00:38:01,154 --> 00:38:02,155
I...

411
00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:06,292
No, quite right. None of my business.

412
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:09,336
Thank you, sir.

413
00:38:25,553 --> 00:38:27,271
You're enjoying this, aren't you?

414
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:32,811
Yes.

415
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,568
Mr. Colville, Your Majesty.

416
00:38:42,111 --> 00:38:44,113
Your Majesties. Tommy.

417
00:38:45,865 --> 00:38:47,583
Come in, Jock. Take a seat.

418
00:38:48,910 --> 00:38:52,289
We have a significant concern
which we'd like to convey

419
00:38:52,372 --> 00:38:54,374
to the Prime Minister.

420
00:38:54,457 --> 00:38:58,132
It concerns the Duke of Edinburgh.

421
00:39:09,639 --> 00:39:13,735
<i>Ma'am, word has reached me
that it is your desire</i>

422
00:39:13,810 --> 00:39:19,032
<i>that you and your children should keep
your husband's name, Mountbatten.</i>

423
00:39:20,483 --> 00:39:21,530
It is.

424
00:39:21,609 --> 00:39:24,863
Ma'am, you must not.
It would be a grave mistake.

425
00:39:25,864 --> 00:39:28,834
Mountbatten was the adoptive name

426
00:39:28,908 --> 00:39:31,787
your husband took
when he became a British citizen.

427
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:36,626
His real name,
you'll not need reminding, was

428
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:40,717
Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg

429
00:39:40,795 --> 00:39:45,426
of the royal houses of Denmark and Norway
and, latterly, of Greece!

430
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:52,982
I am an old man.

431
00:39:54,684 --> 00:39:57,984
Many have questioned my relevance,

432
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:01,066
whether I still have something to offer.

433
00:40:01,149 --> 00:40:04,153
In public life, the answer is, I have.

434
00:40:04,944 --> 00:40:09,074
Which is to leave in place
a Sovereign prepared for office.

435
00:40:09,157 --> 00:40:12,502
Equipped, armed for her duty.

436
00:40:15,163 --> 00:40:20,715
Great things have happened to this country
under the scepters of her queens

437
00:40:21,669 --> 00:40:24,422
and you should be no exception.

438
00:40:24,964 --> 00:40:26,432
Yes, I am Queen,

439
00:40:27,342 --> 00:40:29,060
but I am also a woman.

440
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:32,684
And a wife.

441
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:39,488
To a man whose pride and whose strength
were, in part, what attracted me to him.

442
00:40:42,023 --> 00:40:44,526
I want to be in a successful marriage.

443
00:40:45,735 --> 00:40:49,831
I would argue, stability under this roof
might even be in the national interest.

444
00:40:49,906 --> 00:40:51,249
Had you considered that?

445
00:40:54,369 --> 00:40:57,543
Very well. I will discuss it with Cabinet.

446
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:03,010
No.

447
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,851
You will inform the Cabinet, Prime Minister.

448
00:41:13,721 --> 00:41:15,894
That is the favor you will do me,

449
00:41:17,892 --> 00:41:20,236
in return for one I'm already doing you.

450
00:41:26,859 --> 00:41:31,740
I know your party wants you to resign
to make way for a younger man.

451
00:41:32,407 --> 00:41:33,579
Mr. Eden.

452
00:41:35,868 --> 00:41:41,170
I also know that no one
will bring up your resignation

453
00:41:41,249 --> 00:41:44,173
while you are actively engaged
in planning the coronation.

454
00:41:46,921 --> 00:41:52,269
So, by delaying my investiture,
you are, in fact, holding onto power.

455
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:59,605
In which case, I would suggest,
you are somewhat in my debt.

456
00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:05,110
So, if I agree to the delay,

457
00:42:06,649 --> 00:42:11,826
perhaps you will consider supporting me
in the matter regarding my husband's name.

458
00:42:18,202 --> 00:42:20,625
And perhaps you could also inform Cabinet

459
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:24,175
that my husband and I
intend to stay here at Clarence House.

460
00:42:25,001 --> 00:42:27,720
- Why?
- It is our home.

461
00:42:29,464 --> 00:42:31,762
It has just been refurbished at great expense.

462
00:42:33,051 --> 00:42:35,725
Buckingham Palace can still be
where official business is done,

463
00:42:35,803 --> 00:42:42,482
but our home, our private family home,
will be Clarence House.

464
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:50,026
Very well.

465
00:43:12,632 --> 00:43:14,851
<i>- He was a little surprised, I think...
- Really?</i>

466
00:43:14,926 --> 00:43:17,145
<i>...that I dare express any view at all.</i>

467
00:43:17,303 --> 00:43:19,397
Papa was always putty in his hands.

468
00:43:19,472 --> 00:43:21,770
I think one should start
as one means to continue.

469
00:43:21,849 --> 00:43:25,399
- Absolutely. Put a marker down.
- Quite. Draw a line in the sand.

470
00:43:26,020 --> 00:43:29,615
He said he'd put it to Cabinet,
and I said there was nothing to discuss.

471
00:43:29,690 --> 00:43:32,443
- Good for you.
- No, good for you.

472
00:43:32,527 --> 00:43:34,780
- That's why I did it.
- Thank you.

473
00:43:59,303 --> 00:44:01,431
Your Royal Highness, thank you for coming.

474
00:44:01,514 --> 00:44:04,063
Not at all, dear Winston. How can I help?

475
00:44:08,271 --> 00:44:12,117
I took it to Cabinet and, as expected,
the answer was unanimous.

476
00:44:12,191 --> 00:44:14,410
"No" to both matters.

477
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:17,409
Well, she won't like it,
neither the snub over the name

478
00:44:17,488 --> 00:44:19,661
nor the move to Buckingham Palace.

479
00:44:19,740 --> 00:44:24,337
It really is the most dreadful place,
cold, uninviting,

480
00:44:24,412 --> 00:44:29,464
but it's the right thing, for the young family
and the children to live there.

481
00:44:29,542 --> 00:44:33,547
It's the focal point, it's the Monarch's home.

482
00:44:35,256 --> 00:44:40,433
- Do you want me to break it to her?
- That would be very kind.

483
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:41,683
It's the least I can do.

484
00:44:42,388 --> 00:44:45,187
I've never forgotten the way
in which you defended me,

485
00:44:45,766 --> 00:44:49,816
fought for me during that terrible time.

486
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:54,026
I still think no man
should be punished for love.

487
00:44:54,108 --> 00:44:57,237
And I also believe I spoke
for many in the country when I defended you.

488
00:44:58,237 --> 00:44:59,454
You're very kind.

489
00:45:01,949 --> 00:45:07,797
If I were to help you in this matter with her,

490
00:45:08,623 --> 00:45:11,627
perhaps I could ask a favor in return?

491
00:45:13,961 --> 00:45:15,087
Name it.

492
00:45:30,645 --> 00:45:36,072
Put in a word with the young Queen
for my allowance to be reinstated.

493
00:45:36,150 --> 00:45:37,993
She holds the purse strings now.

494
00:45:38,819 --> 00:45:42,699
The family expect me
to turn down commercial opportunities,

495
00:45:42,782 --> 00:45:45,535
yet cuts off my allowance at the same time.

496
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,912
10,000 pounds.

497
00:45:48,496 --> 00:45:52,126
It's quite impossible
to make ends meet without it.

498
00:45:52,208 --> 00:45:55,587
That a former king
should come to me begging...

499
00:45:58,172 --> 00:45:59,515
Consider it done.

500
00:46:02,635 --> 00:46:08,642
There is also a brief moment
before the coronation

501
00:46:10,184 --> 00:46:13,404
where you might also
mobilize Cabinet support

502
00:46:14,397 --> 00:46:18,152
for the one other thing that has eluded me

503
00:46:19,694 --> 00:46:22,368
- and gnaws away at my heart.
- What?

504
00:46:23,614 --> 00:46:26,288
The appropriate title for the woman I married.

505
00:46:26,367 --> 00:46:28,916
- No, sir.
- Her Royal Highness.

506
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:32,044
She is, after all, the wife of a former king.

507
00:46:32,123 --> 00:46:38,051
She's also a woman who has three husbands
that still live and breathe.

508
00:46:38,170 --> 00:46:40,798
It is her right, Winston.

509
00:46:41,799 --> 00:46:46,396
I'm determined she shall have it.
I'm determined she is shown respect.

510
00:46:48,347 --> 00:46:49,690
Will you fight for it?

511
00:46:50,766 --> 00:46:51,767
One more time?

512
00:46:51,851 --> 00:46:56,982
I have defended you so many times.
Each time to my cost and in vain.

513
00:46:58,482 --> 00:47:01,577
This love for her has destroyed everything.

514
00:47:03,112 --> 00:47:05,911
It is love, Winston.

515
00:47:07,158 --> 00:47:08,250
Love.

516
00:47:10,161 --> 00:47:12,380
The greatest thing on Earth.

517
00:50:16,222 --> 00:50:18,941
His Royal Highness,
the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.

518
00:50:24,271 --> 00:50:25,693
Your Majesty.

519
00:50:27,399 --> 00:50:29,242
Thank you for seeing me.

520
00:50:30,903 --> 00:50:32,280
Thank you for coming.

521
00:50:42,206 --> 00:50:47,133
Well, most of the time we're in Paris.
We've been given a house there.

522
00:50:47,211 --> 00:50:51,717
Wallis likes to entertain. She's so good at it.

523
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:53,801
So, the place is always full.

524
00:50:55,302 --> 00:50:56,724
And we have dogs.

525
00:50:56,804 --> 00:50:58,806
Really? What kind?

526
00:50:58,889 --> 00:51:00,106
Pugs.

527
00:51:00,849 --> 00:51:05,480
Davy Crockett, Trooper and Disraeli.

528
00:51:06,105 --> 00:51:07,698
Why pugs? What's the attraction?

529
00:51:08,190 --> 00:51:11,194
Well, they're childlike.

530
00:51:12,069 --> 00:51:13,321
Need a lot of loving.

531
00:51:13,821 --> 00:51:15,448
They have a strange bark.

532
00:51:17,533 --> 00:51:19,581
- Yes.
- More of a yap.

533
00:51:19,660 --> 00:51:21,754
And they're lazy. Spend all day sleeping.

534
00:51:22,580 --> 00:51:25,003
- Yes.
- They're awfully gassy.

535
00:51:26,375 --> 00:51:27,376
Yes.

536
00:51:27,543 --> 00:51:29,591
I suppose one can always open the windows.

537
00:51:35,134 --> 00:51:37,432
- Don't you miss it?
- What?

538
00:51:37,511 --> 00:51:39,934
The country of your birth. The people here.

539
00:51:41,098 --> 00:51:42,520
Your own flesh and blood.

540
00:51:43,684 --> 00:51:47,609
Well, I would've done
if they'd accepted the woman I love.

541
00:51:47,688 --> 00:51:51,943
But they didn't, so, I don't.

542
00:51:52,026 --> 00:51:54,905
So, the former king
keeps himself at a distance.

543
00:51:54,987 --> 00:51:58,992
A distance that was imposed upon me.
They wanted me out.

544
00:51:59,533 --> 00:52:02,332
And reduces us all to cruel nicknames.

545
00:52:04,496 --> 00:52:05,839
Shirley Temple.

546
00:52:09,084 --> 00:52:10,301
Yes.

547
00:52:11,587 --> 00:52:13,089
On account of the curls?

548
00:52:15,716 --> 00:52:18,310
And precociousness.

549
00:52:18,385 --> 00:52:20,433
And stardom.

550
00:52:20,512 --> 00:52:22,606
- You flatterer.
- Not at all.

551
00:52:23,724 --> 00:52:26,648
Generally, we're better at queens than kings.

552
00:52:27,394 --> 00:52:30,398
In this country,
I have a feeling you'll be no exception.

553
00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:33,234
I certainly intend to do it well.

554
00:52:34,193 --> 00:52:35,240
I did, too.

555
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,788
Obviously, not hard enough.

556
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:41,241
No.

557
00:52:44,578 --> 00:52:45,579
You never apologized.

558
00:52:47,164 --> 00:52:49,166
To your papa, I most certainly did.

559
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,674
Your mother, too. I can show you the letters.

560
00:52:52,753 --> 00:52:53,879
I didn't mean to them.

561
00:52:55,089 --> 00:52:56,386
I meant to me.

562
00:52:58,676 --> 00:52:59,677
<i>You'?</i>

563
00:53:03,472 --> 00:53:05,474
You don't think I'm deserving of one.

564
00:53:07,851 --> 00:53:11,606
You don't think I would have preferred
to grow up out of the spotlight?

565
00:53:12,398 --> 00:53:13,570
Away from court?

566
00:53:15,109 --> 00:53:18,613
Away from the scrutiny and the visibility.

567
00:53:20,781 --> 00:53:22,033
A simpler life.

568
00:53:23,242 --> 00:53:24,459
Happier life.

569
00:53:25,619 --> 00:53:27,212
As a wife, mother.

570
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:31,542
An ordinary English countrywoman.

571
00:53:35,421 --> 00:53:36,673
I'm sorry.

572
00:53:41,927 --> 00:53:43,144
Thank you.

573
00:53:50,728 --> 00:53:54,358
You might extend the same apology
to my husband the next time you see him.

574
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,240
- Is he struggling?
- A little.

575
00:53:58,318 --> 00:54:00,946
Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.

576
00:54:02,656 --> 00:54:06,502
Anyway, if I am to succeed,

577
00:54:07,453 --> 00:54:09,672
then he and I are going to need
all the help we can get.

578
00:54:10,789 --> 00:54:15,260
Well, I'm sure you're surrounded
by good people offering it.

579
00:54:15,335 --> 00:54:18,134
Not if they're always off in Paris or New York,

580
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:19,931
or wherever it is you spend your time.

581
00:54:22,217 --> 00:54:24,515
You would take my advice?

582
00:54:25,637 --> 00:54:26,809
I would.

583
00:54:29,266 --> 00:54:31,360
Particularly now my father isn't here
to give his.

584
00:54:34,104 --> 00:54:35,856
I'd know it came from the heart.

585
00:54:36,899 --> 00:54:40,199
Since I know, deep down, despite everything,

586
00:54:41,028 --> 00:54:42,655
that you care very deeply.

587
00:54:44,281 --> 00:54:45,328
I do.

588
00:54:54,374 --> 00:54:58,629
As it happens, there are two issues

589
00:54:58,712 --> 00:55:01,841
on which I would like to offer some advice.

590
00:55:02,674 --> 00:55:07,350
The first is your husband's surname
and the name of the royal house.

591
00:55:11,391 --> 00:55:12,734
And the second?

592
00:55:34,248 --> 00:55:36,671
There you are. There's something
I'd like to discuss with you.

593
00:55:37,417 --> 00:55:39,169
Now, please don't react.

594
00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:42,263
I'd like to take flying lessons.

595
00:55:44,132 --> 00:55:45,554
I know.

596
00:55:45,634 --> 00:55:49,104
But trust me, becoming a pilot
has been a lifelong ambition of mine

597
00:55:49,179 --> 00:55:54,060
and I think I've found a teacher
mad enough to take me on as a pupil.

598
00:55:55,060 --> 00:55:56,903
Peter, no less, Peter Townsend.

599
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,528
- What's the matter?
- I need to talk to you.

600
00:56:04,611 --> 00:56:05,658
About what?

601
00:56:09,116 --> 00:56:10,868
They'd rather we didn't keep the name.

602
00:56:12,494 --> 00:56:13,586
Mountbatten.

603
00:56:15,414 --> 00:56:16,711
Who's "they"?

604
00:56:17,457 --> 00:56:19,801
- Cabinet.
- It's none of their business.

605
00:56:20,961 --> 00:56:22,713
I think you'll find
it's very much their business.

606
00:56:22,796 --> 00:56:25,640
You're my wife, taking my name is the law.

607
00:56:25,716 --> 00:56:27,718
It's the custom. Not the law.

608
00:56:27,801 --> 00:56:30,771
A custom practiced so universally
it might as well be the law.

609
00:56:30,846 --> 00:56:33,144
You can't do this.
Am I to be the only man in the country

610
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:35,066
whose wife and children
don't take his name?

611
00:56:35,142 --> 00:56:37,770
You can't do this to Dickie.
It will devastate him.

612
00:56:37,853 --> 00:56:40,902
You know that.
You know how important it is to him.

613
00:56:40,981 --> 00:56:44,155
I've told him the royal house Mountbatten
is in the bag.

614
00:56:44,318 --> 00:56:47,242
Well, that was a mistake. It's not.

615
00:56:47,988 --> 00:56:51,458
The name has to be Windsor. For stability.

616
00:56:53,285 --> 00:56:54,286
There's more.

617
00:56:56,914 --> 00:57:00,088
- Clarence House...
- Our home. What about it?

618
00:57:02,044 --> 00:57:03,341
We have to give it up.

619
00:57:05,130 --> 00:57:08,134
The home of the Sovereign of the
United Kingdom is Buckingham Palace.

620
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:09,426
Says who?

621
00:57:11,678 --> 00:57:12,725
Me.

622
00:57:15,474 --> 00:57:17,272
I thought you hated that place.

623
00:57:18,518 --> 00:57:20,987
I do. We all do.

624
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:24,700
Then why go along with it?

625
00:57:26,443 --> 00:57:28,787
Because that's the overwhelming advice.

626
00:57:28,862 --> 00:57:30,864
But that's the point, Elizabeth,
it's just advice.

627
00:57:30,948 --> 00:57:32,291
It doesn't mean that you have to act on it.

628
00:57:33,325 --> 00:57:35,168
When it comes from the government, you do.

629
00:57:49,257 --> 00:57:51,055
What kind of marriage is this?

630
00:57:52,344 --> 00:57:54,062
What kind of family?

631
00:57:56,014 --> 00:57:58,358
You've taken my career from me,
you've taken my home.

632
00:57:58,433 --> 00:58:00,856
You've taken my name.

633
00:58:08,652 --> 00:58:10,575
I thought we were in this together.

634
00:58:46,898 --> 00:58:48,946
See? Daddy's here.

635
00:58:49,568 --> 00:58:50,615
Welcome home, ma'am.

636
00:59:18,597 --> 00:59:20,099
<i>My Lords,</i>

637
00:59:21,850 --> 00:59:24,945
I hereby declare my will and pleasure

638
00:59:25,645 --> 00:59:30,867
that I and my children
shall be styled and known

639
00:59:31,151 --> 00:59:34,405
<i>as the House and Family of Windsor.</i>

640
00:59:36,490 --> 00:59:37,912
<i>And that my descendants,</i>

641
00:59:37,991 --> 00:59:42,963
<i>other than female descendants
who marry, and their descendants,</i>

642
00:59:43,121 --> 00:59:46,295
shall bear the name of Windsor.
