00:00:31,741 --> 00:00:33,Ask my daughters to come and see me.

00:00:34,452 --> 00:00:35,Yes, ma'**.

00:00:41,793 --> 00:00:43,QUEEN MOTHER: Girls, it's too soon.

00:00:43,586 --> 00:00:44,I can't do it.

00:00:45,922 --> 00:00:46,I'm not strong enough.

00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,MARGARET: That's why you have
two grown-up daughters

00:00:49,134 --> 00:00:50,to step in for you in situations like this.

00:00:50,969 --> 00:00:52,I'll do it.

00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:55,Thank you, but that makes no sense.

00:00:57,726 --> 00:01:00,The speech is for Papa about Papa.
I would like to do it.

00:01:01,438 --> 00:01:02,It's right I do it.

00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:05,MARGARET: You don't enjoy
public speaking, whereas I do.

00:01:06,192 --> 00:01:08,- And I was Papa...
- What?

00:01:09,654 --> 00:01:10,Favourite?

00:01:12,407 --> 00:01:16,- MARGARET: Well, are you going to deny it?
- Your father didn't have a favourite.

00:01:16,911 --> 00:01:18,He adored you both.

00:01:18,747 --> 00:01:20,Did so equally.

00:01:20,999 --> 00:01:22,As any good father would.

00:01:24,002 --> 00:01:27,Mummy, you decide, then,
as head of the family.

00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:29,But she's not head of the family.

00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:31,I **.

00:01:33,011 --> 00:01:34,And I will make the speech.

00:01:37,557 --> 00:01:39,(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

00:01:48,985 --> 00:01:50,- Ma'**.
- (SOFTLY) Thank you.

00:01:51,029 --> 00:01:52,Thank you.

00:01:57,952 --> 00:01:59,"Six years ago,

00:01:59,871 --> 00:02:03,"I heard the moving words
which my father spoke

00:02:03,708 --> 00:02:06,"when he unveiled the statue
of King George V.

00:02:07,796 --> 00:02:11,"I did not think then that in so short a time

00:02:12,091 --> 00:02:14,"I should be called to take his place.

00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:22,"But it is with pride
that I unveil this noble statue today."

00:02:27,649 --> 00:02:29,Here you are, ma'**.

00:02:52,924 --> 00:02:54,(THUNDER RUMBLING)

00:03:17,198 --> 00:03:18,(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:26,Ma'**...

00:03:28,626 --> 00:03:30,(SOBS QUIETLY)

00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:35,(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

00:04:46,788 --> 00:04:49,(WHIRRING)

00:04:59,217 --> 00:05:01,MAN: We have been flagging our concern
for some time.

00:05:01,803 --> 00:05:06,These latest events, internationally,
merely strengthen our view.

00:05:07,809 --> 00:05:10,But sending the Queen
on this forthcoming tour,

00:05:10,436 --> 00:05:11,in the current climate,

00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:15,would be to put the Sovereign in
an unacceptable level of danger.

00:05:16,067 --> 00:05:19,What is it you would have the Queen do?
Stay at home

00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,in the wake of minor incidents
prosecuted by an insurgent rabble?

00:05:24,909 --> 00:05:30,What kind of signal would that send?
The Crown does not back down.

00:05:30,957 --> 00:05:33,If Britain had made a habit of backing down,

00:05:33,543 --> 00:05:37,the world would already be
living under the yoke of fascist tyranny,

00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:39,and we wouldn't have an empire at all.

00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:43,Then might I suggest
we bypass Gibraltar altogether?

00:05:44,470 --> 00:05:46,MICHAEL: It's an approach
which I would favour, too.

00:05:47,265 --> 00:05:49,She's not ready for something on this scale.

00:05:50,018 --> 00:05:51,She's not yet up to it.

00:05:51,686 --> 00:05:55,Especially with so many of our dominions
demanding independence.

00:05:56,691 --> 00:05:59,We must be considerate of her.

00:05:59,861 --> 00:06:02,- Patronise her.
- No, that's not what I'm saying, sir.

00:06:03,197 --> 00:06:04,Yes, it is.

00:06:04,949 --> 00:06:06,(SOFT JAZZ PLAYING)

00:06:07,577 --> 00:06:11,HARTNELL: Bermuda, Jamaica, Australia,
Ceylon, Uganda.

00:06:11,205 --> 00:06:13,It's going to be hot, Your Majesty.

00:06:13,541 --> 00:06:16,To that end, we've been working
a great deal with organza,

00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:19,crepe de Chine and shantung silk.

00:06:19,797 --> 00:06:22,We also wanted to feature
something particular to each location,

00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:27,so we thought sprigs of native wildflowers

00:06:27,847 --> 00:06:30,indigenous to each country
that you're visiting.

00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,So, on Her Majesty's arrival in Sydney,

00:06:33,978 --> 00:06:38,we propose a white organza dress
scattered with pale yellow wattle blossom.

00:06:39,442 --> 00:06:40,How many dresses are there?

00:06:41,027 --> 00:06:43,- One hundred.
- One hundred.

00:06:44,572 --> 00:06:46,- And hats?
- Thirty-six.

00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:47,- Pairs of shoes?
- Fifty.

00:06:49,994 --> 00:06:53,Isn't this all a bit much?
Couldn't we try to economise?

00:06:53,581 --> 00:06:57,It is.
It was a directive from the government itself,

00:06:57,293 --> 00:06:59,from the very top of the government.

00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:02,To put our best foot forward
for Great Britain.

00:07:02,882 --> 00:07:04,Our very best foot.

00:07:11,682 --> 00:07:14,It is an absurd pantomime, the whole thing.

00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,I don't know why anyone can't see beyond it.

00:07:16,145 --> 00:07:19,PARKER: I don't know. Actually, I thought
the old ostrich feathers rather suited you.

00:07:19,398 --> 00:07:22,- You should wear those more often.
- MAN: Up straight, please.

00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:25,Twenty years ago,
Britain had influence and control

00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:27,over one-fifth of the world's population.

00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,You look where we are now in India,

00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,Pakistan, South Africa,

00:07:32,995 --> 00:07:35,Iraq, Jordan, Burma, Ceylon.

00:07:36,290 --> 00:07:37,All independent.

00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:41,But nobody wants to face it or deal with it,

00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:45,so they send us out
on the Commonwealth roadshow.

00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:49,Like giving a lick of paint
to a rusty old banger

00:07:49,137 --> 00:07:53,to make everyone think it's all still fine,
but it's not.

00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:56,The rust has eaten away
at the engine and the structure.

00:07:58,229 --> 00:08:00,The banger is falling apart.

00:08:01,941 --> 00:08:03,But no one wants to see it.

00:08:05,236 --> 00:08:07,That's our job, that's who we are.

00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:09,A coat of paint.

00:08:12,118 --> 00:08:14,If the costumes are grand enough,

00:08:15,413 --> 00:08:17,if the tiara's sparkly enough,

00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:20,if the titles are preposterous enough,

00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,the mythology incomprehensible enough,
then all must still be fine.

00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:26,- Are we nearly finished yet?
- Not quite, sir.

00:08:26,674 --> 00:08:29,Four hours we've been here already
for a costume fitting.

00:08:29,302 --> 00:08:32,MAN: Uniform, sir, not costume.

00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:36,PHILIP: You wear uniforms to battle.
This is a costume fitting.

00:08:41,606 --> 00:08:43,TOMMY: It's just a formality, Your Majesty,

00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:46,confirming your temporary assumption
of duties as Counsellor of State

00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:49,while Her Majesty is abroad.

00:08:49,572 --> 00:08:52,You are so kind to still look after me
from your retirement.

00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:56,How much is still in the diary?

00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:00,Well, I went through it with Major Adeane,

00:09:00,958 --> 00:09:03,and we tried to throw out
as much as we could,

00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:06,but there will still be the usual
Privy Council meetings of course,

00:09:06,797 --> 00:09:10,some investitures and military inspections.

00:09:10,176 --> 00:09:12,Couldn't we give some of it
to Princess Margaret?

00:09:12,887 --> 00:09:15,I'm just thinking
she's had a tough time of it lately.

00:09:15,723 --> 00:09:18,Being allowed to shine a bit
might be good for her.

00:09:19,852 --> 00:09:21,Get her back on track.

00:09:27,068 --> 00:09:30,Besides, I had rather hoped
to disappear up to Scotland for a while.

00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:33,And Margaret could deputise for me.

00:09:37,286 --> 00:09:39,PETER: (OVER PHONE) The office is
tucked away in a remote part of the embassy

00:09:40,206 --> 00:09:42,where no one will see me,
no one will find me.

00:09:42,583 --> 00:09:45,- What do you do all day?
- Nothing!

00:09:45,544 --> 00:09:47,They can't keep you there
and give you nothing to do.

00:09:47,838 --> 00:09:50,I beg to differ. Nothing is all I do.

00:09:50,841 --> 00:09:53,Are you at least alone in the office?

00:09:54,178 --> 00:09:57,Oh, no,...
