00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,400
[child] Gina! Gina! Ella!

00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,680
-Gina! Carina! Ella!
-Gina! Carina! Ella!
3
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,400
[dog barks]
4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,480
Gina! Carina!
5
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Gina! Carina!
6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,640
Ella! Ella!
7
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,760
[phone ringing]
8
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,520
[man] Hello, Winston, this is Operations.
9
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,960
-Are you hearing me?
-Hear you clearly.
10
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Stand by for testing.
11
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,120
-Testing now.
-Testing five, four, three, two, one.
12
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,120
[dogs bark]
13
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:23,760
Mummy.
14
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,960
I've come to make a final representation.
15
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880
And to beseech you not to do this.
16
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,960
I wish to address my people.
It's my right.
17
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,880
You have forfeited that right.
18
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:38,480
There are things I wish to say.
19
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,720
In which capacity?
You're no longer their king.
20
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,160
As a private individual.
21
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,800
Oh, no one wants to hear
from a private individual.
22
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,440
Well, I beg to differ.
The newspapers are for me.
23
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,600
The best thing for everyone
would be if you said your goodbyes
24
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,800
quietly, privately,
and disappeared into the night.
25
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Preferably never to return.
26
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,440
-I didn't say that.
-But you thought it.
27
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,480
Admit it.
28
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,840
Elizabeth! Margaret! Come inside!
29
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:21,080
[man on radio] This is Windsor Castle.
30
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,280
There follows an important announcement
from his Royal Highness,
31
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,640
the Duke of Windsor.
32
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,600
A few hours ago, I discharged my last duty
33
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,920
as King and Emperor.
34
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960
And, now that I have been succeeded
by my brother,
35
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,680
the Duke of York,
36
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,200
my first words must be to declare
my allegiance to him.
37
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,640
This I do with all my heart.
38
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,120
-[girls laugh]
-Come along, girls.
39
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,640
You all know the reasons which have
impelled me to renounce the throne.
40
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000
-I have found it impossible to carry...
-Girls. Girls!
41
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,760
...the heavy burden of responsibility,
and to discharge my duties as King,
42
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,720
as I would wish to do,
43
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,280
without the help and support
of the woman I love.
44
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,120
This decision has been made less difficult
to me by the sure knowledge
45
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,080
that my brother
has one matchless blessing...
46
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,920
-Come in. Both of you.
-...enjoyed by so many of you,
47
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
and not bestowed on me.
48
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,400
A happy home, with his wife and children.
49
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,000
And now we all have a new king.
50
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:48,160
I wish him, and you, his people,
happiness and prosperity...
51
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,360
with all my heart.
52
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,120
God bless you all.
53
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,760
God save the King.
54
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,880
[birds chirping outside]
55
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,600
[vacuum cleaner running]
56
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,640
All right, Charles, all right. Stop it.
57
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,040
Well... good luck, darling.
58
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,240
Thank you.
59
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,920
And thank you for all this.
It looks splendid.
60
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,760
This is the first proper home
I've ever had.
61
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
[cameras click]
62
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,640
-Tommy.
-Good morning, Your Majesty.
63
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,880
-You tracked me down.
-Slightly, ma'am.
64
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,600
If Your Majesty has no objection,
65
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,600
I thought we might attend
to the Cabinet papers
66
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,720
after your meeting with Their Majesties.
Your schedule allows for 20 minutes.
67
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,400
-For the papers?
-No, ma'am,
68
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,960
20 minutes with Their Majesties,
then directly on to the paperwork.
69
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,400
And then?
70
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,920
Things will become more manageable
once everything settles down.
71
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Will it?
72
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200
And once the Palace
is your main residence.
73
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,160
[Norfolk] Our understanding is that he is
arriving at Southampton as we speak.
74
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,360
-[Queen Mary] Alone?
-We believe so, ma'am.
75
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Hm. That's something.
76
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,800
[Norfolk] Some last minute adjustments
to the funeral arrangements.
77
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,360
If you are in agreement, ma'am,
we thought that the Duke of Windsor
78
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,480
should join the Dukes of Gloucester,
Kent and Edinburgh.
79
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,240
But that'd be the row behind me.
Breathing down my neck.
80
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,880
We could, if Her Majesty likes,
increase the distance,
81
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,480
put him back a few rows.
82
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,120
Any chance that could stretch
to being on the steps outside the chapel?
83
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,600
I'm sorry, I know he's your son.
84
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,720
A son who gave up the throne
and, effectively, killed my other son.
85
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Why not put him there?
Close to the Prime Minister?
86
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
-Thank you, ma'am.
-Cry Baby.
87
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,080
-What?
-It's what he calls Winston.
88
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,560
He and his wife have
nasty little nicknames for all of us.
89
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,400
I'll tell you yours, if you ask me nicely.
90
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,040
No, thank you.
91
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,880
Shirley Temple.
92
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,200
-[seagulls squawk]
-[people chatter]
93
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040
[ship horn blaring]
94
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Ready, sir.
95
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,040
[Duke of Windsor] This is indeed
a sad arrival in my country.
96
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:16,000
I have crossed the Atlantic
for the funeral of a dear brother,
97
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,400
and to comfort Her Majesty, Queen Mary.
98
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,480
My heart goes out
to the widowed Queen Mother
99
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,960
and her two daughters in their grief.
100
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:30,640
Thank you.
101
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,360
[crowd shouting]
102
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,840
-Down there, look!
-Right, that's enough. Look sharp!
103
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,000
His Royal Highness,
the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
104
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Dear Mama.
105
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:14,640
Poor Bertie.
106
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,440
So young.
107
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,280
One can only be thankful
for all the years one had him.
108
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,240
So wonderfully thoughtful and caring.
109
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,880
An angel to his mother, wife and children.
110
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,160
I honestly believe
he never thought of himself at all.
111
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,400
He really was the perfect son.
112
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,400
I can't imagine how difficult
it must be for you.
113
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,040
You've been very much
in our thoughts and prayers.
114
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,320
Ours?
115
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,240
You'd be wise not to mention
that woman's name for the next few days.
116
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,080
-I mentioned no name.
-The implication was enough.
117
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,680
If you say so.
118
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160
I offer that in the spirit
of maternal advice
119
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,720
that you may emerge from this trip with
any remaining respect or affection at all.
120
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,480
I had hoped all this might wait.
121
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:29,960
I'm afraid not, ma'am.
122
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,040
I understand.
123
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Shall we?
124
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,560
Now, the top sheet is simply a summary
of all the contents of the box.
125
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,840
And we have in this case,
a five power conference first. See...
126
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,800
-That's this one?
-Yes.
127
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,440
-So this...
-More detail.
128
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,960
-So, we start with this.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
129
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,640
[conversation continues indistinctly]
130
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560
-[Philip] He's here.
-He's here!
131
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Don't rush, darling. It'll take him
an hour to get to the front door.
132
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,720
And then an hour to get through
the bloody thing!
133
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Now, don't forget
the two things we discussed.
134
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,240
-I won't.
-The children keeping my surname.
135
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,320
-Yes.
-And us staying here in Clarence House,
136
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,840
not moving to Buckingham Palace.
Both very important.
137
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,000
I know. I won't forget.
138
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,920
-And don't be nervous.
-I'm not nervous.
139
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,040
You look nervous.
140
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Be firm. Just lay down the law.
141
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,400
I know he's Winston Churchill
and all that, but remember who you are.
142
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,360
-You're--
-Nobody.
143
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,800
The Queen of England.
144
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,400
[toy horn honks]
145
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,880
[Churchill] Don't let me overrun.
146
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,640
[man] The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
147
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Your Majesty.
148
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,000
I so looked forward every Tuesday
to my audiences with your...
149
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,840
dear papa.
150
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,840
His late Majesty was a hero
151
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,600
to me and to all his people.
152
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,240
Thank you.
153
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120
Do sit down, Prime Minister.
154
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,360
I've ordered tea.
Or something stronger, perhaps.
155
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,800
Oh, dear. Did no one explain?
156
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:28,800
The Sovereign never offers
a Prime Minister refreshment.
157
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,760
Nor a chair.
158
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,520
The precedent set
by your great-great-grandmother
159
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,920
was to keep us standing
like Privy Councillors.
160
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,600
To waste time is a grievous sin.
161
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,720
And, if there is one thing I have learned
in 52 years of public service,
162
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,600
it is that there is no problem so complex,
nor crisis so grave,
163
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:56,680
that it cannot be satisfactorily resolved
within 20 minutes. So...
164
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,160
shall we make a start?
165
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,760
[Philip] She's in with the PM now.
166
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,880
And I made it abundantly clear
how important it was
167
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,600
that she and the children take your name.
168
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,640
[Lord Mountbatten] It's your name too.
It's the name I gave you.
169
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,280
Having Mountbatten
as the name of the Royal house,
170
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:25,480
having your first-born son, Charles,
as the first Mountbatten king...
171
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,200
Well, that would be some achievement,
wouldn't it?
172
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Now, I would like to discuss
your coronation.
173
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Yes.
174
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,440
I have a proposed date which has been
run past Cabinet and approved.
175
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,600
-Summer, I hope.
-Indeed. Next year.
176
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,720
Next year? Why the delay?
177
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,840
For your benefit entirely.
178
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,480
A long period
between accession and coronation
179
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,960
was of great value to your father.
180
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,600
He had five months.
181
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,400
You're proposing I have 16
before I am crowned.
182
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:07,720
Yes.
183
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,760
[man] That would take anyone
weeks to read...
184
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,960
-Anyway, thanks for the drink.
-Thank you, Jock.
185
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,440
-Sir.
-Sir.
186
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,200
Foreign office first,
let's surprise Anthony.
187
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,480
-[Philip] And?
-Nothing.
188
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,840
We discussed the end of rationing
of sugar, butter and meat,
189
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,360
the situation in Korea,
and the date of my coronation.
190
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,560
I barely got a word in.
191
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,560
Of course not,
the man barely draws breath.
192
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
-You have to butt in.
-You can't!
193
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,880
Not in the private audience.
194
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080
So, what about the issues
I asked you to address?
195
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,480
-I will find the right time.
-When?
196
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,360
-Why would he do that?
-What?
197
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:56,960
Why would he want to delay my coronation?
198
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,560
What are you talking about? What--
Elizabeth!
199
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,120
[telephone rings in distance]
200
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,120
[doors close]
201
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,640
I realize we've had our differences
in the past.
202
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,880
If you'll allow me.
203
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,520
But, for now, let us think only
of what we have in common.
204
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,880
You've lost a husband and father,
205
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,400
I a brother.
206
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:58,880
Let us be united in grief,
on equal terms, for someone we all loved.
207
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,760
I'll be here for a few days
after the funeral
208
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,760
before I return to New York.
209
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Perhaps we might find time
to see one another.
210
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,760
For lunch, or a walk.
211
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,360
Yes. I'd like that very much.
212
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,680
[door opens]
213
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Your Majesties.
214
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,120
-[Queen Mother] We must go, girls.
-So soon?
215
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Yes, to Westminster Hall.
216
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,040
To see Papa.
217
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,680
With this family, when you're in,
you're never quite sure that you're in.
218
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,400
But when you're out,
there's no doubt at all.
219
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,000
You're out.
220
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040
[sobs]
221
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:05,400
Why can't you just be civil to him, Mummy?
222
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Let bygones be bygones.
223
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,240
Sixteen years since the abdication,
and he was close to Papa.
224
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,800
Because the man is a monster!
225
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,480
The responsibility of becoming king
killed your father
226
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,520
and I will never forgive his selfishness
and weakness in passing on the burden.
227
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,880
He has done nothing for this family.
228
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,120
And don't be fooled by his obsequiousness.
229
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,680
The only reason he's even civil to us
is because he wants to leech off us
230
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,160
with a rich allowance to keep
that Jezebel divorcee of his in the manner
231
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,720
to which she's become accustomed.
232
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Well, I've spoken to the lawyers
233
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
and we have a little surprise
in store for them.
234
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,160
[Duke of Windsor]
My dear darling Peaches...
235
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,600
They say hell is an inferno.
236
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,560
What a sunless, frozen hell
we both escaped in England.
237
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,320
And what a bunch of ice-veined monsters
my family are.
238
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,480
How cold and thin-lipped,
239
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,000
how dumpy and plain.
240
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,480
How joyless and loveless.
241
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,400
The way Cookie treated me looking
down at me through her dumpy nose,
242
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,880
it was as much as I could do
not to let her have it with both barrels.
243
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,880
And Shirley Temple,
who has the rank now
244
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,720
to silence her common mother,
sadly, has no mind of her own.
245
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,160
But I remained civil
because I am following your advice...
246
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,000
to keep them on side,
keep a foot in the door...
247
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,200
and see what we can get out
of the wretched circus.
248
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,640
Perhaps even a raise on the allowance,
who knows?
249
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,880
It's the only revenge I can think of
for the insult of your non-invitation,
250
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:02,520
to drain their coffers to our benefit.
251
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,720
[mechanical clunking]
252
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,360
Thinking always of you
253
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,040
and counting the minutes
until I am back in your arms.
254
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,600
Your loving David.
255
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,480
...and therefore commit his body
to the ground.
256
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:31,280
Earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
257
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,600
In sure and certain hope
of the resurrection to eternal life,
258
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,880
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
259
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,240
-[gunshots]
-[dogs barking]
260
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,800
-What is that thing?
-Oh, I inherited it from my grandfather.
261
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,600
Well, as you know, Kaiser Wilhelm
was not blessed with a normal physique.
262
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,000
No, the withered arm.
263
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,640
Ah, but he loved to shoot,
so modifications had to be made.
264
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,960
[laughs]
265
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,240
They didn't modify a shotgun,
they modified a cannon.
266
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,440
[gunshots continue]
267
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,400
You are a cheat, Hannover.
268
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,200
[Mountbatten] I realize that,
beyond these walls, the country mourns,
269
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,520
struggles under a program
of austerity and rationing
270
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240
but, what to do?
271
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,200
It might all appear indulgent
272
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,960
but, in keeping the estate
and the local community going,
273
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,800
we are all doing our share tonight
for the economy.
274
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,880
[chuckling]
275
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,320
So, let us start with a toast.
276
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,440
-To His late Majesty, the King.
-[all] The King.
277
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,520
-And, the Queen that has succeeded him.
-[all] The Queen.
278
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,960
And to our generous host.
279
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,640
And the Royal house
that is now in his name.
280
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,320
[all] To our host and the Royal house.
281
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,320
-To the Royal house Mountbatten.
-[all] To the Royal house Mountbatten.
282
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,360
[airplane overhead]
283
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,560
[Philip] Right, come on, then.
You can do it.
284
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,880
Kick it back.
285
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,800
Kick it back, boy. Go on.
286
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,920
-It's not going to bite you. Kick it.
-[Parker] Ah, it's a Burnley centre back.
287
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,720
Tell me,
do you play football with your boy?
288
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,440
-When I get to see him, yeah. Rugby.
-Rugby? Chance'd be a fine thing.
289
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,840
This one doesn't seem to want
to do anything but dream.
290
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,440
Ah. Your old man struggling a bit, is he?
291
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,200
Well, come on then.
Show him how it's done.
292
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,640
Right. Come on then, Charles.
Let's give you something to aim at.
293
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,800
That thing's been buzzing around
all morning.
294
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,520
[whispers] Right between his trousers.
295
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Yup. Taking aerial photographs
for some magazine.
296
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,080
-Oh, is that right?
-Mm-hm.
297
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,080
It was always my dream
to join the Air Force.
298
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,000
But Dickie put me in the Navy.
299
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,160
He felt the social connections
would be better.
300
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,640
Hm. Judging by where you ended up,
I'd say the plan worked.
301
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,720
-Ha.
-[whispers] Come on, Charles. Bash it.
302
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,000
[gasps]
303
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,480
Not bloody bad, Charles. Not bloody bad.
304
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,240
-No, Daddy, not in the bushes!
-In the bushes he goes!
305
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,120
[laughter]
306
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,280
No, Daddy! Not the bushes!
307
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Right, Charlie Boy, here we go.
I'm going to teach you...
308
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,360
Come on, then!
309
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,240
[bell dings]
310
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,000
[Duke of Windsor] Oh, it's vile.
311
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,560
Tommy Lascelles comes up to me
at the funeral, of all places,
312
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,160
asks me for a word then tells me,
to my face, "Do you credit it?"
313
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,080
I come all this way,
back to this gaping wound of a country,
314
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,640
forbidden to bring my own wife,
to pay respects to my dear, late brother
315
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,800
and they compound an already traumatic
and painful trip with this humiliation!
316
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,880
The timing does seem
particularly unfortunate.
317
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,360
It's an outrage!
318
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,480
-How much is the allowance?
-Ten thousand a year.
319
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,520
The agreement between Bertie and me
was that I would give up everything
320
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,480
and go into exile and keep a low profile
in return for a pension
321
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,440
that was clearly meant to be
for the term of my whole life, not his!
322
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,600
Now he's barely cold
and Cookie turns off the bloody tap!
323
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,720
-How dare she?
-You don't know that it was her.
324
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280
-Of course it was her.
-And don't call her that.
325
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Why not?
She's fat, common, and looks like a cook.
326
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,480
Did they offer any justification?
327
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:59,320
Oh, that it would appear insensitive
for a member of the extended Royal family
328
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,440
to be seen to be rewarded
and live in luxury.
329
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,040
Extended Royal family!
330
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,360
I was the most senior member
of that family. The King!
331
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Now, we barely make ends meet!
Every day is a struggle.
332
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,800
You live in great style
from what I've heard.
333
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,440
Perhaps you should take a leaf
out of your late brother's book.
334
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:23,240
-He was frugal, you know.
-He was born frugal. In every department.
335
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,120
And that frugality
earned him great favour.
336
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,680
And he passed it on
to the women in his family.
337
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Who just spent 70,000
renovating Clarence House,
338
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,800
so no lectures, please,
about the frugality of the new Queen.
339
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,800
-That was her husband.
-What, the foundling?
340
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,120
-Don't call him that.
-Why not?
341
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,720
I'd call him by his name, if he had one.
342
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,520
[door opens]
343
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,320
His Royal Highness, Prince Ernst August
of Hanover, Your Majesty.
344
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,200
-He's here.
-What?
345
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,360
He apologizes for the lack of warning,
but said it was important.
346
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,440
[sighs] All right.
You'd better show him in.
347
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,000
Ah...
348
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,880
[in German]
Dear Aunt, forgive the intrusion.
349
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,800
I come directly from Broadlands.
350
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,720
[in German]
What were you doing there?
351
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,120
[in English] Please tell me you weren't
shooting, one day after the funeral.
352
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,640
-Oh, meine liebe Ernst.
-I assure you the sport was very limited.
353
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,360
And your late son was in our thoughts
the whole time.
354
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,920
Anyway, in the evening,
we gathered for dinner.
355
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,600
The food is normally quite good
at Broadlands.
356
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,760
-Outstanding!
-Especially the duck, from memory.
357
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360
-With oranges.
-Rum-soaked raisins.
358
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,680
Oh! A Prussian recipe.
359
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,640
[in German] Spaetzle, too. Remarkable!
Crispy, with cheese and breadcrumbs.
360
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,960
-Mmm. Delicious!
-[in English] Go on.
361
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:59,240
Yes.
So, after dinner, our host started to brag
362
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,360
about how the Royal house
would soon be in his name.
363
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,880
Nonsense.
364
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,880
The Royal Warrant of 1917
established the House of Windsor.
365
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,000
-Ah.
-My late husband presided over it himself.
366
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,080
But the name Windsor would only be carried
by the male descendants.
367
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,560
It did not take into account
the female descendants.
368
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,400
They would take the name
from their husbands
369
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,680
-which, in this case, would mean--
-Mountbatten!
370
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,000
Well...
371
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,560
-He had us raising glasses to it.
-Glasses containing what?
372
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,800
-Champagne.
-You were drinking champagne
373
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000
the day after my son's funeral?
374
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,520
[Townsend] Come in.
375
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,320
[sighs]
376
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,680
I had to see you.
377
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Come in.
378
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,480
I got home last night
to find this on the kitchen table.
379
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:39,880
She's gone.
380
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,000
All her belongings have gone.
381
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,480
I'm so sorry.
382
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,400
No, you're not.
383
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,160
No.
384
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,160
I'm not.
385
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,720
-So, will you sue her for divorce?
-No, I'd lose my job.
386
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,320
Well, you'll keep your job.
I'll make sure of that.
387
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,800
It would make me a divorcee.
388
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,400
But not the guilty party.
389
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,520
Still, I'd be soiled goods.
I'd be tainted with scandal.
390
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,520
[whispers] You'd also be free.
391
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,400
To remarry.
392
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,800
One day.
393
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Yes.
394
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,920
[man] Down there, please.
395
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,960
Christ. Hide. There, there. There. Go.
396
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,240
[voices approaching]
397
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,880
-Is it this one?
-Yeah, I think so.
398
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,280
-No, no, it's not. It's this one.
-Right.
399
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:37,640
Come in.
400
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,440
Sorry to barge in.
Have you got a second?
401
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,560
-Of course, sir.
-May I?
402
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,520
Please.
403
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,720
That's what I want to talk to you about.
404
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,560
-Flying.
-Yes, sir.
405
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,800
You're an experienced air jockey
and I've an idea.
406
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,560
And, look,
please disavow me of it if I'm wrong
407
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,800
but, to be up there in a plane,
it's the biggest thrill of them all.
408
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,880
-It is, sir.
-I mean, really. The biggest.
409
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,080
It is, sir.
410
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:13,240
Once you break through the clouds to
the clear blue beyond, the space, the...
411
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,800
the silence, the transcendent beauty,
412
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,880
it's church for the irreligious man.
413
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,960
That's what I'd hoped you'd say.
Where could I learn?
414
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Uh... White Waltham Airfield,
they've a good school there.
415
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,400
-Would you take me?
-Of course, sir.
416
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:31,800
Good man.
417
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,920
You know, my sister,
my favourite sister actually,
418
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,160
Cecile, died in a plane.
419
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:44,200
It went down over Ostend in a storm.
420
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,960
Eight months pregnant.
421
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,840
She went into labour mid-flight
and they found the child,
422
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,880
next to her in the wreckage.
423
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,760
A boy.
424
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:02,960
Mm.
425
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,960
Mm.
426
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,040
New part of the uniform, Peter?
427
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,560
[sighs]
428
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,000
Anyone we know?
429
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,360
[chuckles] I... no.
430
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,800
[laughs]
431
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080
No, quite right. None of my business.
432
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,520
Thank you, sir.
433
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,680
[both laugh]
434
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,160
[exhales]
435
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,160
[laughs]
436
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:56,880
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
437
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,360
[laughs]
438
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,160
Yes.
439
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,600
Mr. Colville, Your Majesty.
440
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,080
Your Majesties. Tommy.
441
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,280
[Queen Mary] Come in, Jock. Take a seat.
442
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,880
We have a significant concern
which we'd like to convey
443
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,800
to the Prime Minister.
444
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,520
It concerns the Duke of Edinburgh.
445
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,360
[Churchill] Ma'am, word has reached me
that it is your desire
446
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,440
that you and your children should keep
your husband's name, Mountbatten.
447
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:48,920
It is.
448
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,720
Ma'am, you must not.
It would be a grave mistake.
449
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,840
Mountbatten was the adoptive name
450
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,600
your husband took
when he became a British citizen.
451
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:03,280
His real name...
you'll not need reminding,
452
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,240
was
Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderberg-Glucksberg
453
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,720
of the Royal houses of Denmark and Norway
and, latterly, of Greece!
454
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,920
I am an old man.
455
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:26,720
Many have questioned my relevance,
whether I still have something to offer.
456
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,320
In public life, the answer is, I have.
457
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,520
Which is to leave in place
a Sovereign prepared for office.
458
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,960
Equipped, armed for her duty.
459
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:46,360
Great things have happened to this country
under the sceptres of her queens
460
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,520
and you should be no exception.
461
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,760
Yes, I am Queen, but I am also a woman.
462
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,440
And a wife.
463
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,120
To a man whose pride and whose strength
were, in part, what attracted me to him.
464
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,440
I want to be in a successful marriage.
465
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,440
I would argue, stability under this roof
might even be in the national interest.
466
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,160
Had you considered that?
467
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,720
[sighs]
468
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,240
Very well. I will discuss it with Cabinet.
469
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,080
No.
470
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,000
You will inform the Cabinet,
Prime Minister.
471
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,440
That is the favour you will do me,
472
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,960
in return for one I'm already doing you.
473
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:54,200
I know your party wants you to resign
to make way for a younger man.
474
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,400
Mr. Eden.
475
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,720
I also know that no one
will bring up your resignation
476
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,640
while you are actively engaged
in planning the Coronation.
477
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:13,320
So, by delaying my investiture,
you are, in fact, holding onto power...
478
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,520
in which case, I would suggest
you are, somewhat, in my debt.
479
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,680
So, if... I agree to the delay,
480
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:32,200
perhaps you will consider supporting me
in the matter regarding my husband's name.
481
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,520
And perhaps you could also inform Cabinet
482
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,640
that my husband and I
intend to stay here at Clarence House.
483
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,320
-Why?
-It is our home.
484
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,200
It has just been refurbished
at great expense.
485
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Buckingham Palace can still be
where official business is done
486
00:40:55,080 --> 00:41:01,840
but our home, our private family home,
will be Clarence House.
487
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:08,720
Very well.
488
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,160
[Elizabeth]
He was a little surprised, I think.
489
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:34,840
-[Philip] Really?
-I dare express any view at all.
490
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,000
Papa was always putty in his hands.
491
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,160
But I think one should start
as one means to continue.
492
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:43,160
-Absolutely. Put a marker down.
-Quite. Draw a line in the sand.
493
00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,720
He said he'd put it to Cabinet
and I said there was nothing to discuss.
494
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,400
-Good for you.
-No, good for you.
495
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,760
-That's why I did it.
-Thank you.
496
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,520
[crowd booing]
497
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:11,800
[booing and shouting]
498
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,240
Your Royal Highness, thank you for coming.
499
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,760
Not at all, dear Winston. How can I help?
500
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,440
I took it to Cabinet and, as expected,
the answer was unanimous,
501
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,640
"No" to both matters.
502
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,520
Well, she won't like it,
neither the snub over the name
503
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,720
nor the move to Buckingham Palace.
504
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,200
It really is a most dreadful place,
cold, uninviting,
505
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,040
but it's the right thing, for the young
family and the children to live there.
506
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,960
It's the focal point,
it's the monarch's home.
507
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,640
-Do you want me to break it to her?
-That would be very kind.
508
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,400
It's the least I can do.
509
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,640
I've never forgotten the way
in which you defended me,
510
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:04,000
fought for me during that terrible time.
511
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,640
I still think no man
should be punished for love.
512
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:10,800
And I also believe I spoke for many
in the country when I defended you.
513
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,840
You're very kind.
514
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:21,600
If I were to help you
in this matter with her,
515
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,920
perhaps I could ask a favour in return?
516
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,240
Name it.
517
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:41,880
[door closes]
518
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:48,080
Put in a word with the young Queen
for my allowance to be reinstated.
519
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,560
She holds the purse strings now.
520
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,320
The family expect me
to turn down commercial opportunities,
521
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,560
yet cuts off my allowance
at the same time.
522
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,800
Ten thousand pounds,
523
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,360
it's quite impossible
to make ends meet without it.
524
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,680
That a former King
should come to me begging...
525
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,480
Consider it done.
526
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:19,200
There is also a brief moment
before the Coronation
527
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,640
where you might also
mobilize Cabinet support
528
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:31,520
for the one other thing that has eluded me
and gnaws away at my heart.
529
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:33,480
What?
530
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,120
The appropriate title
for the woman I married.
531
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,640
-No, sir.
-Her Royal Highness.
532
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:41,640
She is, after all,
the wife of a former King.
533
00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:47,440
She's also a woman who has three husbands
that still live and breathe.
534
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,920
It is her right, Winston.
535
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,440
I'm determined she shall have it.
I'm determined she is shown respect.
536
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,200
Will you fight for it?
537
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,560
-[sighs]
-One more time?
538
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:05,680
I have defended you so many times.
Each time to my cost and in vain.
539
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,480
[sighs] This love for her
has destroyed everything.
540
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,120
It is love, Winston.
541
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,680
Love.
542
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,880
The greatest thing on Earth.
543
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,640
[orchestral music playing]
544
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:16,560
[door opens]
545
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,280
[man] His Royal Highness
the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.
546
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,720
Your Majesty.
547
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,520
Thank you for seeing me.
548
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,080
Thank you for coming.
549
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:46,240
Well, most of the time we're in Paris.
We've been given a house there.
550
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:50,640
Wallis likes to entertain.
She's so good at it.
551
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,480
So the place is always full.
And we have dogs.
552
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,480
Oh, really? What kind?
553
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:04,520
Pugs. Davy Crockett, Trooper and Disraeli.
554
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:09,280
-Why pugs? What's the attraction?
-Well, they're... childlike.
555
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,720
-Need a lot of loving.
-They have a strange bark.
556
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,480
-Yes.
-More of a yap.
557
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,080
And they're lazy. Spend all day sleeping.
558
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,760
-Yes.
-They're awfully gassy.
559
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,000
Yes.
560
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,840
I suppose one can always open the windows.
561
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,160
[chuckles]
562
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,560
-Don't you miss it?
-What?
563
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,000
The country of your birth.
The people here.
564
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:39,560
Your own flesh and blood.
565
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,320
Well, I would've done
if they'd accepted the woman I love.
566
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,400
But they didn't, so I don't.
567
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,280
So the former King keeps himself
at a distance.
568
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,880
A distance that was imposed upon me.
They wanted me out.
569
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,440
And reduces us all to cruel nicknames.
570
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,760
Shirley Temple.
571
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,120
Uh... Yes.
572
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:08,880
On account of the curls?
573
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,760
And precociousness.
574
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,760
-And stardom.
-You flatterer.
575
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:17,880
Not at all.
576
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,400
Generally,
we're better at queens than kings.
577
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,600
In this country I have a feeling
you'll be no exception.
578
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,040
-I certainly intend to do it well.
-I did, too.
579
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,600
Obviously, not hard enough.
580
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:35,920
No.
581
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,320
You never apologized.
582
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,760
To your papa, I most certainly did.
583
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,720
Your mother too.
I can show you the letters.
584
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,680
I didn't mean to them. I meant to me.
585
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,480
You?
586
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:58,960
You don't think I'm deserving of one.
587
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,960
You don't think I would have preferred
to grow up out of the spotlight?
588
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:06,920
Away from Court?
589
00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:11,600
Away from the scrutiny and the visibility.
590
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:14,840
A simpler life.
591
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,160
Happier life.
592
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:19,800
As a wife, a mother.
593
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,920
An ordinary English countrywoman.
594
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,120
I'm sorry.
595
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,360
Thank you.
596
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,880
You might extend the same apology
to my husband the next time you see him.
597
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,560
-Oh, is he struggling?
-A little.
598
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,160
Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.
599
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,480
Anyway, if I am to succeed,
600
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,520
then he and I are going to need
all the help we can get.
601
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,920
Well, I'm sure you're surrounded
by good people offering it.
602
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,640
Not if they're always off
in Paris or New York,
603
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,840
or wherever it is you spend your time.
604
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,880
Y-You would take my advice?
605
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:16,960
I would.
606
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,400
Particularly now my father
isn't here to give his.
607
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,600
I'd know it came from the heart.
608
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,560
Since I know, deep down,
despite everything,
609
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,480
that you care very deeply.
610
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:35,400
I do.
611
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:47,560
As it happens, there are two issues
612
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:51,280
on which I would like to offer
some advice.
613
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:56,440
The first is your husband's surname
and the name of the Royal house.
614
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:01,040
And the second?
615
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,600
There you are. There's something
I'd like to discuss with you.
616
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,360
Now, please don't react.
617
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,520
I'd like to take flying lessons.
618
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,480
I know.
619
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,880
But, trust me, becoming a pilot
has been a lifelong ambition of mine
620
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:40,760
and I think I've found a teacher
mad enough to take me on as a pupil.
621
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,360
Peter, no less, Peter Townsend.
622
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,680
-What's the matter?
-I need to talk to you.
623
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:51,760
About what?
624
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:57,080
They'd rather we didn't keep the name.
625
00:53:58,320 --> 00:53:59,880
Mountbatten.
626
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,000
Who's "they?"
627
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,400
-Cabinet.
-It's none of their business.
628
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,160
[scoffs] I think you'll find
it's very much their business.
629
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:10,920
You're my wife,
taking my name is the law.
630
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,960
It's the custom. Not the law.
631
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,840
A custom practiced so universally
it might as well be the law.
632
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,120
You can't do this.
Am I to be the only man in the country
633
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,000
whose wife and children
don't take his name?
634
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,680
You can't do this to Dickie.
It will devastate him.
635
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,600
You know that.
You know how important it is to him.
636
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,800
I've told him the Royal house Mountbatten
is in the bag.
637
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,320
Well, that was a mistake. It's not.
638
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,240
The name has to be Windsor. For stability.
639
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:38,400
There's more.
640
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,040
-Clarence House...
-Our home. What about it?
641
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,400
We have to give it up.
642
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,680
The home of the Sovereign
of the United Kingdom
643
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:51,840
is Buckingham Palace.
644
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,040
Says who?
645
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,720
Me.
646
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,600
I thought you hated that place.
647
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,000
I do. We all do.
648
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,880
Then why go along with it?
649
00:55:09,240 --> 00:55:11,520
Because that's the overwhelming advice.
650
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,640
But that's the point, Elizabeth,
it's just advice.
651
00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:15,760
It doesn't mean
that you have to act on it.
652
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,440
When it comes from the government,
you do.
653
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:32,960
What kind of marriage is this?
654
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,000
What kind of family?
655
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,840
You've taken my career from me,
you've taken my home.
656
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,840
You've taken my name.
657
00:55:49,720 --> 00:55:51,800
I thought we were in this together.
658
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,480
[door opens, closes]
659
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,360
[Charles] See? Daddy's here.
660
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:30,120
Welcome home, ma'am.
661
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:43,160
[cheering]
662
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,600
[Queen Elizabeth] My Lords...
663
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:03,520
I hereby declare my will and pleasure
664
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:08,760
that I and my children
shall be styled and known
665
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,960
as the House and Family of Windsor.
666
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,360
And that my descendants,
667
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:20,240
other than female descendants
who marry, and their descendants,
668
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,720
shall bear the name of Windsor.
669
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:36,040
[cheering, applause]
