1:04(car door closes) (engine starts)
1:12(distant dog barks)
1:14Don't worry, darling. Everything will be all right.
1:17When's Mommy coming back?
1:20She doesn't want to live with us, Diana. Not any longer.
1:24She didn't even kiss me goodbye.
1:26I expect she meant to.
1:29You'll see her in a few weeks.
1:31I want her to come back.
1:36Did we do something wrong?
1:37I suppose I must have.
1:41Your mother just needs some time.
1:44She's gone to live with...
1:47Somewhere else.
1:49It's all my fault. I was supposed to be a boy, wasn't I?
1:52Oh, don't talk such nonsense.
1:53To take John's place after he died.
1:55Neither you nor your brother
1:57were supposed to take the place of anybody.
2:01That's it.
2:03Now then, let's see what Nanny's got in the kitchen.
2:08(bombastic marching band music)
2:24In front of Buckingham Palace,
2:25the crowds have gathered to join the Queen and her family
2:29to celebrate her birthday in the time-honored tradition.
2:32Her Majesty acknowledges the enthusiastic cheers of her
2:35loyal subjects with a familiar smile and courteous wave.
2:39Thank you, Daddy.
2:40I hope you enjoy them, Diana.
2:44(spectators cheer) (marching band music)
2:50It pleases me greatly, Charles, to know that
2:53one day you will be standing here as King.
2:57Well, I hope that won't be for a very long time.
3:05Please see, Grandma.
3:07Yes.
3:08Oh, they're lovely, Diana.
3:10Tell me.
3:11What do you think you'd like to be when you grow up?
3:13A ballet dancer or a princess.
3:16Oh. (chuckles)
3:16Don't be such a ninny, Diana.
3:18Sarah, the first lady Diana Spencer
3:21almost married the Prince of Wales, over 200 years ago.
3:26Didn't he love her, Grandma?
3:28She was probably a ninny, too.
3:30That's why he broke up with her.
3:32Prince Charles exchanging a few words now-
3:34He's got funny ears.
3:40(plane engines roar)
3:47(bright orchestral music)
4:27Dutch!
4:28Come on over!
4:29Come on!
4:32Do you remember my baby sister, sir?
4:33Lady Diana Spencer.
4:35Sir.
4:36Oh, gosh, yes.
4:38But I haven't seen you since you were this high.
4:40(Diana chuckles)
4:41She's home for the weekend from West Heath.
4:43What are your best subjects, Diana?
4:46Swimming and diving and ballet's my absolute passion,
4:49but I'm getting a bit tall for that now. (chuckles)
4:52(Charles chuckles)
4:56Well, we'll leave you to your shooting, sir.
5:03Do you like him?
5:05I think he's really amazing.
5:07But aren't you scared of saying the wrong thing?
5:09(chuckles) Don't be so silly, Dutch.
5:12Just think. Your sister, Queen of England.
5:15You seem pretty sure of him?
5:17What could I possibly do wrong?
5:19He loves me.
5:22And as long as those reporters leave me alone,
5:25I'm quite certain he'll ask me to marry him.
5:37I feel so sorry for Sarah.
5:39I don't understand what she's done wrong.
5:41(scoffs) She babbled to the press.
5:43You just can't say everything that comes into your head.
5:46Our wicked stepmother does, doesn't she?
5:49Perhaps your grandmother, Lady Fermoy,
5:50might have a word with the Queen Mother?
5:52It's far too late for that.
5:54I just wanted the reporters to leave Charles and I alone.
5:56(sighs) The reporters won't leave the Royal Family alone
6:00and you deserve what you get for telling them
6:01you wouldn't marry the King of England if he asked.
6:04She meant no harm, Raine.
6:06You're too soft with people, Johnny.
6:09If he really loved me, he'd have understood.
6:13Or at least forgiven me.
6:15Your mistake was giving him something to forgive.
6:25(upbeat music)
6:35It's just like a fairytale.
7:05Odd that you're invited for tonight, Dutch.
7:07Why?
7:08You're a bit young for this sort of thing.
7:10Well, you two were both in society when you were my age.
7:13Anyway, don't you think it's a little odd
7:16that you were invited to Charles' 30th?
7:19No, Charles and I are still good friends.
7:22Oh, dear.
7:24Charles is such a romantic.
7:27Pity he never stays in love very long.
7:30Sour grapes, Sarah?
7:34I'm going to see who else is here tonight.
7:37Don't pay any attention to her, Diana.
7:39She still hasn't got over Charles dropping her.
7:42(both giggle)
7:48You must have known at least
7:49half the girls in this room tonight.
7:51(chuckles) I'm afraid I have fallen in love
7:53with rather a lot of them and I suppose eventually
7:55I'll fall in love with the rest of them, too.
7:58Seriously, Charles, I know it's a difficult task
8:00finding exactly the right person, the wife you deserve,
8:05but I really think you must try.
8:07Well, I have found a few, sir.
8:08You've lost a few because you haven't let them know
8:10you also cared for them.
8:16When Camilla and I were parted,
8:17I was faced with six months at sea.
8:19Women have been known to wait, you know.
8:21Did you ever tell her that you loved her?
8:24Not in so many words, no.
8:25It helps to let women know how you feel.
8:28They find it comforting.
8:30Odd, aren't we, Lord Mountbatten?
8:32Good evening, Camilla. Radiant as ever, I see.
8:34And you're a delicious liar, sir.
8:37You haven't asked me to dance yet, Charles.
8:39Then let my feet apologize.
8:47Lovely girl.
8:49Yes, it's a great pity he let her go. She suits him.
8:55Well, Fred, see anything here that catches your eye?
8:59Yes. (Camilla chuckles)
9:01Happy birthday, darling. Thank you.
9:03How does it feel to be 30?
9:05Well, still young enough to enjoy the hunt, that is.
9:09Then why did you tell all those dreadful reporters
9:11that 30 was a good age to marry?
9:13"After seeing a great deal of life," I believe you said,
9:15"and having met a few girls."
9:17Yes, well, I've lived to regret that, as you know.
9:20That's why I'm determined to wait and stay out of trouble.
9:29Ladies.
9:31Hello, Grandma. Isn't it wonderful?
9:33Yes, Diana, it's a lovely party.
9:36How's your father feeling?
9:37Much better, thank you.
9:38It was a terrible stroke.
9:39The doctor says he's going to be able to walk again.
9:42Oh, good.
9:47How nice to see that Charles and Camilla
9:49have remained such good friends.
9:51He might well have been dancing with you, Sarah,
9:53had you but observed the rules.
9:56No matter.
9:57We'll both find other fish to fry.
10:01Sit up straight, Diana, don't slouch.
10:03And for heaven sakes, stop biting your nails.
10:09You're growing up so quickly.
10:11I hope I stop soon, ma'am.
10:13I'm already so much taller than the boys my age.
10:16That's the trouble with boys, they so often come up short.
10:20(Diana chuckles)
10:30Isn't it wonderful living in London?
10:33This flat is the best birthday present I could ever have.
10:35I know you only got it because you wore
10:37your parents down with your tiresome whining.
10:39Ha, ha, ha. Hello?
10:41James!
10:43Hi. Hello.
10:44Brilliant, thanks.
10:46Hello, Carolyn. Hello.
10:48(sighs) It's all mine, James.
10:50All mine. It looks great, Diana.
10:53We're gonna have so much fun here together,
10:55and I have to put a huge great sofa here,
10:57and we can all watch telly together. (chuckles)
10:59Isn't it amazing how you like to organize people?
11:01Everyone in their place, including you.
11:04Hah!
11:05Mm, this looks really good.
11:06God, isn't everything working out well.
11:08Which is exactly what you counted on.
11:12(upbeat pop music) (lively chatter and laughter)
11:40But why not?
11:41Because you'll laugh at me.
11:43Well, tell me anyway.
11:44I've just always had this feeling
11:46that I've got to save myself.
11:49From what?
11:50I don't know, just a feeling.
11:52Like something wonderful is waiting to happen to me.
11:55Anyway, I've decided. No sex before marriage.
11:57You're completely bonkers. You do realize that, don't you?
12:01Yeah. (chuckles)
12:04Oh well, nevermind, at least we can still have
12:06a bit of a laugh from time to time.
12:11(gun fires rapidly)
12:15(guns fire rapidly)
12:27(wings flap)
12:29(gun fires)
12:35(gun fires rapidly)
12:40(somber orchestral music)
13:00We've heard from Ireland.
13:03Uncle Dickie?
13:05Yes.
13:09IRA.
13:15Those bastards.
13:23Thank you.
13:31And although he could be ruthless with people,
13:33when the occasion demanded, his infectious enthusiasm,
13:37sheer capacity for hard work, his wit,
13:40made him an irresistible leader among men.
13:42The quality of real moral courage of being able
13:46to face unpleasant tasks that need to be done,
13:49and yet to be fair and consistent is a rare quality, indeed.
13:56But he had it in abundance and that is one of the reasons
13:59why people would have followed him into hell.
14:04After 50 years of service to the Royal Navy that he loved,
14:07and after defending his country in two world wars,
14:11they finally succeeded in murdering a man
14:14who was desperately trying to sew the seeds of peace.
14:20We will remember him.
14:24(water splashes)
14:28Cold.
14:31Even for November.
14:32Cold for any time of the year.
14:34Particularly cold for November.
14:39I don't mind the cold, actually.
14:41(water splashes)
14:44I can't recall when it was this cold.
14:47Last year, this time precisely.
14:49(scoffs) Yes but not as cold as this.
14:52I remember thinking it was extremely cold.
14:56Not that I mind it.
14:59It's time you pulled your socks up and got married.
15:04I don't feel particularly domestic at the moment.
15:09Well, you've courted half the girls in the country.
15:11How long's it take to find a protestant virgin?
15:15One doesn't want to make a mistake.
15:18After all, it is for life.
15:20What if I marry the wrong girl?
15:23Your quest for a suitable companion has become
15:25a national pastime for the papers.
15:27Damn the press anyway.
15:29Your mother is as anxious about this as I am.
15:33She would like you to become king in her lifetime,
15:35so you must find a wife and settle down.
15:39Your duty is to produce an heir.
15:42It's like being put out to stud.
15:45Yes, it is rather.
15:47This is no time to be droopy.
15:50I never knew a boy who had such trouble getting to things.
15:52Always dithering.
16:04Hello, gorgeous. Hello, Philip.
16:07I was just washing the floor, actually.
16:09Sorry.
16:11You interested in polo? Nope.
16:13It's really boring.
16:16But what if Prince Charles was playing?
16:19Less boring.
16:21And how do you feel about a weekend
16:22in the country with my family?
16:23Oh, absolutely!
16:26You might like Charles.
16:28Well, I've never really given it that much thought.
16:29Well, don't miss this chance, Diana.
16:31He's the goods.
16:34Hm.
16:35Might be a giggle.
16:42Diana's grown into a lovely girl.
16:44She has her mother's beauty and her father's wit, ma'am.
16:47We're all very fond of her.
16:49And it goes without saying she has no past.
16:51But does she have ambitions?
16:53None, I think, outside the kitchen and the nursery.
16:56Well, in the end, it all comes down to character.
17:02She seems as if she's ready to marry.
17:05How old is Diana now?
17:0619 in July.
17:08Well, one only hopes she finds the right man.
17:11I'd like her to marry Will.
17:13Yes, a girl of her character should.
17:30(horse snorts) (Diana giggles)
17:36Mind if I join you? Oh, no, sir. Do.
17:44I think horses are the most
17:45magnificent animals in the world.
17:47Absolutely, sir.
17:49They have both strength and beauty, an irresistible
17:52combination, both in horses and women, I think.
17:56What did you make of the polo this morning?
17:57I thought it was really exciting.
18:00I've been wondering, how did you come up
18:01with the name Diable Bleu?
18:05Well, I thought it had a romantic ring.
18:07Hm, I suppose it does really, now that you mention it.
18:10Sit down? Hm.
18:12Why is he blue?
18:16Well, perhaps, Lady Diana, because he's made
18:19so many other people blue, he's finally turned blue himself.
18:22(Diana laughs)
18:27(laughs)
18:30I shall have to return to the palace tomorrow.
18:34Really?
18:35Well, there's the usual papers to sign and I'm, uh,
18:39and I'm scheduled to meet at the regional committee
18:40of the Prince's Trust.
18:42They work you too hard.
18:43Well, it's as close as I come to a job. (chuckles)
18:50Perhaps you'd like to drive back with me?
18:54I'd love to, sir, thank you, but I can't.
18:58Oh.
19:00Why not?
19:01Well, I'm afraid it might seem rude to my hosts.
19:04Not that you meant that.
19:07Oh, yes. Of course.
19:12Well, (chuckles) one feels secure around you, Diana.
19:16Thank you, sir.
19:17I think my uncle might have approved.
19:22Lord Mountbatten's death must have been
19:23a terrible loss for you.
19:27He was more like a father.
19:31He always had time for me.
19:37(chuckles)
19:39"His droopy," my father calls me.
19:42(Diana giggles)
19:44Very perceptive.
19:46Occasionally, I'm happy.
19:49I know exactly what you mean about your uncle.
19:52My grandmother's the one I depend on. (chuckles)
19:56(Charles chuckles)
20:02(doorbell buzzes)
20:05Can you see who that is? Mm-hm.
20:10Hello?
20:13Oh!
20:14Yeah, um, come up.
20:19Who is it?
20:19It's Prince Charles' private secretary.
20:22(chuckles) For me?
20:23Who else?
20:24You might want to put your trousers on.
20:26Oh, god, yes.
20:32(knocks)
20:35Hello, um, come in.
20:36Good morning. Good morning.
20:39Lady Diana? Yeah.
20:40His Royal Highness asked me to deliver this by hand.
20:42Thank you.
20:47"His Royal Highness, the Prince, Charles,
20:49"requests the pleasure of your company at eight p.m.
20:51"at the Royal Albert Hall,
20:53"to be followed by dinner afterwards at Buckingham Palace!"
20:56Your grandmother, Lady Fermoy, is being invited as well.
20:59They're performing Verdi's Requiem.
21:02But this is tonight.
21:04I'm sure were he here His Royal Highness
21:06would apologize for the lateness.
21:08You will be there? Oh, yes, of course.
21:10Good day, then. Bye bye.
21:18Well, it didn't take him long.
21:20I told you things went well.
21:23Oh, no, but my hair. It's fine!
21:24I haven't got anything to wear.
21:25Of course you have! Oh, I don't want to go!
21:28You must!
21:30What am I going to talk about?
21:31Don't.
21:32Listen attentively, smile sweetly,
21:34and agree with everything he says.
21:35But I don't know anything about Verdi.
21:37Call Gilbey, he knows everything.
21:39There's nothing to worry about.
21:40Your grandmother will be there.
21:42Verdi's known for his operatic works.
21:44His wife died early, within a year,
21:46his children died also.
21:47The Requiem came late after he turned
21:49to religion for consolation.
21:52Now, stop worrying. You like Prince Charles.
21:55(chuckles) We're supposed to like Prince Charles.
21:57It's our patriotic duty.
22:00How do I look? Like a queen.
22:02(chuckles) Well, that's the idea, isn't it?
22:04("Requiem")
22:16(audience cheers and applauds)
22:27Is this the first time you've heard
22:28Verdi's Requiem, Lady Diana? No, sir.
22:31No, it's my favorite of all Verdi's works.
22:34It's so wonderfully sad.
22:36You can really imagine how, after his wife died,
22:38finding his comfort in God.
22:42Yes.
22:44Well, I tell you what I told them.
22:45The building is a monstrous carbuncle
22:47on the face of a much loved and elegant friend.
22:51The irony is that the London skyline
22:54has stood unchanged for 300 years.
22:56It survived the industrial revolution,
22:58it survived the Blitz, almost intact.
23:01You speak with such eloquence, Charles, and such passion.
23:05Don't you think so, my dear?
23:06Yes, Granny.
23:09The only thing it can't survive is modern architecture.
23:13Developers who build with no regard for height or design.
23:18One of the treasures of the world
23:19has been lost to rank commerce.
23:22It's dreadful, sir.
23:24Is the dinner not to your liking?
23:26No. Yes, yes, sir.
23:36I know you're doing your best, Diana,
23:38but you must try and hold onto your end of the conversation.
23:42But I'm tongue-tied around him.
23:45I so want to impress him
23:46that I end up looking like an idiot.
23:48No, you looked like a sweet, shy girl,
23:52but you're going to have to do better.
23:55I've heard that you might be invited to Balmoral.
23:59What do I wear?
24:00What do I say? I don't shoot or fish.
24:02The lovely thing about Balmoral
24:04is that doing nothing has been raised to a fine art.
24:07Then it really is some kind of test.
24:09They have to be sure that whoever might marry the Prince,
24:12and you're only one of numerous contenders,
24:15is made of the right stuff.
24:23(chatter and laughter)
24:26Have a good day, Charles?
24:27Yes, spent the afternoon stalking a stag.
24:30Lost him as evening fell.
24:32How very unlucky.
24:33For you, sir, but perhaps the stag escaped so he may have
24:36the honor of being stalked by you another day.
24:39(chuckles) Yes, my children have always enjoyed
24:41a splash of blood.
24:44(clears throat) Are you enjoying Balmoral, Lady Diana?
24:47It's the best place in the world, sir.
24:51Thought I might go for a spot of fishing tomorrow.
24:54I'm afraid I don't know how.
24:56(chuckles) Well, you needn't actually cast a line.
24:59You're to keep me company.
25:02She's quite pretty, isn't she?
25:05She's just a silly girl, Andrew.
25:08I'm not at all sure what Charles sees in her.
25:12(laughter)
25:15Oh, we need a fourth bridge after dinner.
25:17Count me in. Oh, yes, please.
25:20(chuckles) That makes five.
25:23I'm sorry.
25:24You play, Diana.
25:26I've had my turn.
25:30(Diana chuckles)
25:46Alfred tells me you have your own place, Diana.
25:49I love it.
25:50Nobody to tell me what to do or when to do it. (chuckles)
25:53Well, it sounds seemingly pleasant.
25:56And you teach at a kindergarten, hm?
25:59I really love working with children.
26:01I think it's a suitable profession
26:03for a girl of your class.
26:06Do you think you would make a good mother?
26:09No one's ever asked me that before.
26:13The most important thing for me is that my children
26:15have a better childhood than I had.
26:19I don't think I'll ever forget my mother packing her bags
26:22and leaving like she did.
26:26There they are.
26:28Back up the top. Your Highness?
26:31Sir?
26:34Charles, look! Look! (cameras snap)
26:36Get out of there!
26:38Get away!
26:39You stay here, I'll make myself scarce.
26:42Well, that's done it.
26:46(cameras snap)
26:59(paparazzi chatter)
27:03Here she is. Hang on a minute, look.
27:05Get her picture. Sure.
27:07Good morning. Morning.
27:08What is your relationship with Prince Charles?
27:11I won't say anything about the Prince.
27:14Who told you to keep quiet?
27:16No one, it was my decision.
27:18I really can't make any comment on it.
27:20I'm sorry, it must be an awful bore for you.
27:23Well just pose for a few pictures
27:24and we promise we'll leave you alone.
27:25If you stand over here, the light's better.
27:28Oh, yeah. Nice one, Frank, yeah.
27:29Good idea, Barry.
27:32Beautiful! Now could you just-
27:34Hold the little girl closer, please.
27:39Give her a hug, give the little girl a hug.
27:40And smile, please?
27:42(cameras snap)
27:43Lovely. Thank you.
27:45That's it. Yeah, that's fantastic.
27:46Thank you. Very good.
27:49Hello.
27:50Well, I knew your legs were good,
27:52but I didn't realize they were that spectacular.
27:54Did you really have to show them to everybody?
27:57(giggles) They look like piano legs.
27:59No, actually, they look pretty good to me. (chuckles)
28:03I trust you'll be able to join me
28:04at the Parker-Bowles' for the clan handicap?
28:07Certainly, sir, I'd be delighted.
28:09Good, see you there.
28:12Bye.
28:19Well? (Diana chuckles)
28:21I'm going to be joining him at the Parker-Bowles',
28:22if I can get past that horde outside.
28:24Things are serious.
28:26I hear Camilla inspects all his girls.
28:29Well, if you spend time with him, you get her too.
28:31Make him forget her.
28:33Well, if I'm deciding who I want to live with
28:34for the next 50 years, it's not a decision
28:37on which I want my head to be ruled by my heart.
28:39What a peculiar thing to say. Diana's a lovely girl.
28:42Yes but is she up to the job?
28:44Oh, she's young and trainable. She'll do what she's told.
28:47I'm sure she won't give you any trouble.
28:49Anyway, do you know how she feels about you?
28:53I really have no idea.
28:56Well, hon, you better ask her.
29:02Hm.
29:08Mind if I borrow your friend? (chuckles)
29:16I think it was Ruskin who said
29:18a garden should possess a tangled splendor.
29:21Yes. Yes, I think it was Ruskin.
29:25I'm just wondering, if you were to marry someone
29:28a good deal older than you, Diana, how difficult
29:31do you think it would be to make the adjustment?
29:34Well, that would depend on the person, sir.
29:38Well, some people are older than others.
29:41(chuckles)
29:43When a man in my position marries,
29:46the choice has to be made very carefully.
29:49It has to be someone special,
29:51someone who can fulfill the role.
29:54I think you're lucky if you find the person
29:57attractive in the physical as well as the mental sense,
30:00but I think basically marriage is a friendship, Diana.
30:06A partnership.
30:08Well, you certainly seem to have thought about this a lot.
30:11A woman not only marries a man,
30:13she marries into a way of life.
30:15A job.
30:17She's got to have some knowledge of it.
30:19Well, I think a woman's role is to support her husband
30:21whenever she can, to encourage him.
30:25(chuckles)
30:26You've asked me a lot of questions.
30:29May I ask you one?
30:31Yes, certainly. (Diana chuckles)
30:33Don't you think you ought to be in love
30:35with the woman you marry? (chuckles)
30:38(chuckles) Yes, of course, that would be the ideal.
30:40But I was just wondering how you feel.
30:44I think love is wonderful.
30:46Well, that's a start.
30:47I would never get married unless I was absolutely sure
30:50that I loved someone 'cause if you're not sure,
30:53you might get a divorce and I never,
30:55never, never want to get divorced.
31:12Thank you.
31:15(car door closes)
31:20Just bought the place.
31:23There must be a wildflower meadow here,
31:27carp pond over there,
31:29and the walled garden, ornamental specimen trees,
31:33flowers and wildflowers.
31:36Oh and of course, vegetables.
31:39One couldn't wish for a better house.
31:41My sister Anne's 10 minutes to the north,
31:44and of course, the Parker-Bowles.
31:51Right.
31:53Just watch your step here because it's a workman.
31:57Camilla suggested I might like to buy the house.
32:00I think it's nice when a man can be friends with a woman.
32:03Yes, quite.
32:06Let's go up.
32:10I was given this in Mombasa. (Diana chuckles)
32:13It is rather unique, isn't it?
32:16Mm.
32:21Well, this would be an ideal room for a nursery.
32:24Lots of light, away from everything.
32:26Not too far.
32:28I think children should be part of the family.
32:30Not tucked away with nurses and nannies,
32:32only to be brought out like trophies at meal times.
32:37I never got to see enough of my mother.
32:41(melancholy music)
32:43I know how that feels.
32:45I can still remember her returning
32:46from a four-month tour of India.
32:50They took me down to the ship to meet her.
32:52I was so happy to see her again.
32:57But I had to wait in the line with the rest of them.
33:01When she got to me finally, she just shook my hand.
33:06Well, I mean, I know it was the proper thing
33:07for the Queen to do, but...
33:12All I wanted was a hug.
33:18I am never going to let that happen to my children.
33:22I want to be with them as they grow up.
33:27That's lovely, sir.
33:30(both chuckle)
33:33Let's.
33:35(chuckles) I've been told you have excellent taste, Diana.
33:39I thought you might like to organize
33:40the interior decoration.
33:43Decorating a house is a very personal matter.
33:45It means choosing what one will live with.
33:49Yes, precisely.
33:52After you.
33:53Thank you. Round to right here.
34:00Rhubarb's one of the few plants that need a good talking to.
34:04If only to give it encouragement, make it feel wanted.
34:08Perhaps you'd be better off having somebody
34:11more experienced?
34:13Hm?
34:14Well, I thought this might be a good way
34:16for you to get to know me better.
34:20I'm very flattered by your request, sir, but I really
34:22don't think at the moment I'm the person for the job.
34:28Yes.
34:30I'm surprised you feel that way.
34:33(sighs) This is not my house.
34:34One decorates the house in which one lives.
34:42I can see myself devoting years to the garden.
34:46I find weeding quite...
34:51Therapeutic.
35:12I worry about Charles.
35:14He lacks decisiveness.
35:16It's good that he takes his time, ma'am.
35:18So much depends on his decision.
35:20You're right, Ruth.
35:21Poor Edward chose so badly.
35:24That dreadful American.
35:26There was a time when I thought
35:27we might be the end of the line.
35:30I remember how hard you had to work
35:31to put things right again.
35:33You and King George.
35:35I trust you're not having doubts
35:36about Diana's ability to cope?
35:38Not at all.
35:40You must be sure she knows what the job entails.
35:46That's her car.
35:49Morning, Lady Diana. Morning.
35:51Has Prince Charles asked you?
35:53I can't confirm or deny it.
35:55Is it true that on November the 5th,
35:56you spent the night with Prince Charles on the Royal train?
35:58I've never been anywhere near the Royal train.
36:00Much less in the middle of the night.
36:02Are you able to tell us whether he's popped the question?
36:04Were you with him just now?
36:06Morning!
36:07You're disgustingly early, James. Do you want some tea?
36:09Love some.
36:11Thought you might like to see this, squidgie.
36:14Oh.
36:17"Love in the Royal train."
36:20I don't leap in and out of bed with people.
36:22I'm not like that!
36:23Charles knows the truth. Yes, he does.
36:27He hasn't even kissed me, you know.
36:28Let alone asked me to marry him.
36:31He has, however, asked me to decorate his house
36:33and I said no.
36:35You had the nerve to turn him down?
36:37I want to marry him, Carolyn,
36:39not decorate that awful place.
36:41Then he's finding out that you're wilful and obstinate
36:43and you expect to get your own way.
36:46I just want everything to be perfect.
36:48And right now all I want is those awful men out there
36:50to go away and leave me alone.
36:53I don't know if I can cope.
36:54Those awful little men go along with it.
36:57Hang on a little bit longer.
37:00I want you to denounce this story as totally false.
37:03The palace press office is to demand a retraction.
37:06Do it now, please. Yes, ma'am.
37:07God save us from those vultures.
37:09Well, Diana will have to get accustomed
37:11to this sort of thing.
37:12At least it's useful in that respect.
37:14Might I suggest, ma'am, that you personally
37:16have a word with some of the publishers?
37:19Ask them to go easy on Lady Diana.
37:21I'm sure they'd be glad to oblige you.
37:24Thank you.
37:26Perhaps just this once, I shall.
37:29She's coping with it all fairly well, I suppose.
37:32Possibly, unlike her sister Sarah, she has the knack
37:35of saying nothing whatsoever with great distinction.
37:40Now, gentlemen.
37:44(photographers yell) (cameras snap)
37:50(Diana giggles)
37:53Bye!
37:55Too late. No, I'm sorry.
37:56Excuse me! Carolyn, where's she going?
37:58Oh, it's hopeless!
38:03Have this one on London Transport, Lady Di.
38:05Thank you very much. (chuckles)
38:30Hello, Christopher. Lady Diana.
38:39I can't wait to get started on the garden, but it'd be
38:42foolish to start planting before all this mess is done with.
38:45It does seem to go on forever, doesn't it?
38:47Mm, I'm rather looking forward to seeing it
38:49all come together, actually, yes.
38:51Makes one feel part of the whole thing.
38:54(chuckles)
38:56I hate to bother you with this,
38:58but things are a bit out of control.
38:59Everywhere I go, those awful reporters are there.
39:02(chuckles) Yes, well, you have to
39:04put up with it more than I do.
39:07They never leave me alone.
39:08They hound me and chase me, they yell at me,
39:10they stick cameras in my face, they make up quotes.
39:12They pry in my rubbish.
39:15I'm sorry.
39:17(chuckles) No, I know, Diana.
39:20Poor Camilla has to go through the same thing.
39:23She has two or three at a time camped outside her house.
39:31Well, why would they hound her?
39:33Because they're always making things up.
39:36Thank you.
39:38Well, I was wondering whether someone
39:42from the palace press office could-
39:43No, that's not how things are done.
39:46You see, they only act on behalf of the Royal Family.
39:53(Diana sighs)
39:54You won't have to put up with it much longer.
40:02We shall have a talk, but it'll have to wait.
40:09Well, it's late.
40:10I shall have Christopher drive you back to London.
40:15Has he spoken of marriage to you?
40:17Well, he talks about it as a friendship.
40:20A partnership.
40:22And what do you think?
40:25I think I can make him love me.
40:28I have reason to believe he will ask me.
40:31I just hope he does soon so we can be done with it.
40:35Have you given any thought to what your life would be like
40:38once you were married?
40:40This wouldn't be just a marriage, it would be a job as well.
40:44Charles has told me that. I think it'll suit me.
40:47It's not a life for everyone.
40:49Perhaps not, but after I'm married,
40:51Charles will be there to look after everything.
40:54And you don't mind him being so much older?
40:56Daddy was older than Mommy, so is Jane's husband.
41:01Anyway, I think men ought to be more, you know, experienced.
41:04Don't you?
41:06I thought you wanted this for me?
41:08I do, but I just want to be sure
41:11that you're up to the job.
41:13You're so young.
41:15I don't think 19's too young to be married.
41:18I'll try hard and I'll learn.
41:19You must, because the Royal Family cannot afford
41:23for this marriage not to work.
41:26I can still remember what it was like
41:27when the Duke abdicated.
41:30It nearly ruined the House of Windsor.
41:32And we can't afford for that to happen again.
41:40Well, what is your problem?
41:42The girl's clearly in love with you.
41:44Well, sometimes people think they're in love
41:46when they're only infatuated.
41:48The idea of this romance going on for another year
41:51is intolerable for everyone concerned!
41:55You are to marry Diana by the summer or not at all.
41:57One doesn't want to rush into these things.
42:00Pretty soon, there'll be nobody suitable left.
42:03With her, at least there are no ugly surprises.
42:05Well, you must marry, Charles,
42:07so that you can get on with your real duties.
42:10We think Diana will make a fine queen.
42:13We're scheduled to have dinner this evening.
42:17Perhaps I shall say a word then.
42:28(peaceful classical music)
42:31Thank you.
42:37There's a question I should like to ask you, Diana.
42:40Please, take your time before answering it.
42:45Yes, Charles?
42:49Will you marry me?
42:50(Diana chuckles)
42:57I'm sorry. (giggles)
43:00Take some time to think seriously about what I just asked.
43:04I'm sorry. (chuckles)
43:08You must make sure it's not going to be too awful.
43:15There's no thinking to be done, sir.
43:18Yes, I will marry you.
43:24Are you positive?
43:26I have no doubts about it.
43:27It's what I want.
43:31Well, that's good.
43:33(Diana chuckles)
43:36I shall need your support and comfort.
43:41(sighs) I love you so much.
43:44Yes, whatever love is.
43:54(muffled pop music) (muffled chatter and laughter)
44:09They're giving me my own private line, you know.
44:10So for god's sake, ring me up. I'm going to need all of you.
44:13I'm going to miss you.
44:14Well, I'm not going that far.
44:15Half a mile and 1,000 years of history away.
44:18(Diana chuckles)
44:19(doorbell rings)
44:20Philip!
44:28It's Sergeant Mannakee.
44:32Hello. Good evening, ma'am.
44:34Sergeant Mannakee, this is James.
44:36How do you do? And my friends.
44:37Sorry I'm so early.
44:38I hope you enjoyed your last night of freedom.
44:40(Diana chuckles)
44:42Shall I get your cases?
44:44Thank you.
44:52Is this all you're taking? (chuckles) Yeah.
44:55Apparently I'm going to have a whole new wardrobe.
44:57Lucky you.
44:58Of course, you'll find the shopping a terrible bore.
45:00(guests laugh)
45:02Well, I'm going. Don't!
45:05Bye!
45:07Bye. Bye!
45:08Bye.
45:09Bye, everyone Bye!
45:12Good luck! Bye!
45:14Bye! Bye!
45:36If you intend to leave the palace, Lady Diana,
45:38you must give advance notice.
45:40Why?
45:41So that a detective can be assigned to guard you.
45:44Oh.
45:47This is Princess Anne's suite,
45:49and that is Prince Edward's suite.
45:52Is Prince Charles in the palace?
45:54Yes, his personal assistant will tell him you've arrived.
45:58Thank you. Here we are.
46:05I hope you'll be very happy here, ma'am.
46:08Thank you.
46:10Goodbye. Night.
46:24"Diana, I'd be delighted if we could have lunch together.
46:27"I know a lovely Italian restaurant in Beauchamp Place.
46:29"I'll give you a call and arrange a time.
46:30"Camilla."
46:42(smooth jazz music)
46:48(knocks)
46:49Yes.
46:51Lady Diana's arrived, sir. I told her you're occupied.
46:55Well, as I am.
46:57I thought we might brief her
46:58before she meets the press tomorrow.
47:03Well, there's no need.
47:05I'll do most of the talking, she can just follow my lead.
47:09Sir.
47:14(cameras snap)
47:16Oh, my god, I'm terrified. What am I going to say?
47:18Tell them you think I'm the handsomest,
47:20funniest man in England. (chuckles) And I do.
47:23When did you know, sir?
47:25Well, it was a gradual thing.
47:28Towards, towards the end of summer, I began to realize
47:32what was in my mind and hers in particular.
47:34Could you speak up, sir?
47:36All these things help.
47:38I had a long time to think about it.
47:41I knew the pressure was on both of us and, well,
47:43it wasn't a difficult decision to make.
47:45It was what I wanted.
47:47What I want. (chuckles)
47:49Do you think it will be a difficult adjustment
47:50for a girl of 19?
47:52With Prince Charles beside me, I can't go wrong.
47:55Well, I'm just delighted and happy.
47:59I can't believe she's brave enough to take me on.
48:01(paparazzi laugh)
48:04Will you live at Highgrove?
48:06If Charles lives there then so will I.
48:08Such a lovely house.
48:10Wonderful home for Charles.
48:12He does seem to enjoy it.
48:15And of course, Gloucestershire
48:17has all the country pursuits.
48:19Hunting, fishing, shooting.
48:21Odd chucker of polo.
48:24A bit too rural for me.
48:25Surely Diana that's one of its greatest charms.
48:28I love the city.
48:33Do you hunt?
48:34I'm afraid of horses.
48:35I fell off when I was little and broke my arm.
48:37Oh, well you'll have to get straight back on the saddle.
48:39It's all you can do. Face fear head-on.
48:42Perhaps.
48:44Don't suppose I care that much.
48:47Charles loves to ride.
48:50One of his greatest passions.
48:51We ride together all the time.
48:55Well, he'll just have to keep on riding with you, then.
48:59Must be difficult for you,
49:01with him going away to Australia so soon.
49:05Australia?
49:07Surely you knew?
49:09Oh, nevermind, Diana, you'll get used to it.
49:11With him being away.
49:13After all, it's hardly going to be
49:14a conventional marriage, is it?
49:21(knocks)
49:24I need to see him.
49:26This isn't a good time.
49:28Why didn't you tell me you were going to Australia?
49:31Well, it's only for five weeks.
49:32Five weeks?
49:34How are we supposed to get to know each other
49:35if you're always going away?
49:36There's still three months till the wedding.
49:38Besides, this tour was scheduled long before the engagement.
49:40So you see, it's quite of the question
49:42for His Royal Highness to cancel.
49:44You will have to excuse us.
49:49(dark orchestral music)
50:21(Diana giggles)
50:22Oh, my god.
50:24(chuckles)
50:26I won't fit into my clothes.
50:28(chuckles) I must be mad.
50:47(retches)
50:54It is the custom to set the timetable well in advance.
50:59I never know what I'm going to be doing
51:00from one minute to the next.
51:01Well, that is why I am here, Lady Diana, and Christopher,
51:04and the rest of the palace staff.
51:05But shouldn't Charles be consulted?
51:07We are perfectly well acquainted
51:08with his wishes.
51:09There's a lot to be done during the next few months
51:11to get you ready for the wedding.
51:13Everything has to be perfect.
51:23Hello. Hello, darling.
51:25Settling in? Yes, thank you.
51:27Charles, when am I going to see you again?
51:30I have working lunch, hospital visits
51:32and dinner with the Lord Mayor.
51:34I shall see you sometime after dinner then.
51:36But Charles, I-
51:37Alfred and Christopher will look after you.
51:39But it's you that I- They have my full trust.
51:42Don't know how I'd live my life without them.
51:51A little less enthusiasm, Diana.
51:54You'll be doing this for long periods of time,
51:56and you don't want to put too much strain on your elbow.
52:01Like this?
52:04(giggles)
52:05That's better.
52:15No, I'm afraid you mustn't open these, Lady Diana.
52:19But they're for us, aren't they?
52:20Yes, of course they are, but we will see that they are
52:23opened carefully and the gift and card are placed together
52:25and noted in the log.
52:27The staff will prepare thank you notes for your signature
52:30which, by the way, we must work on.
52:34I think I need a breath of fresh air.
52:37(tense orchestral music)
52:57I can manage quite well, thank you.
52:59I'm sorry, ma'am, you can't go out on your own I'm afraid.
53:01I'm part of your life now.
53:03Well, in that case, Sergeant Mannakee,
53:04fasten your seatbelt 'cause you're in for a bumpy ride.
53:18(camera snaps)
53:22(camera snaps)
54:19(muffled pop music)
54:24Good afternoon, Diana, how are you?
54:26Very well, thank you, ma'am. What did you do today?
54:29I had a fitting and I did some reading,
54:31and I perfected my wave.
54:32Oh! Show me, my dear.
54:35Very good!
54:39Excuse me, ma'am.
54:41Excuse me.
54:42I've been told that I'm not allowed
54:44to have my friends as bridesmaids and-
54:45I'm glad you see the logic, dear.
54:51I trust you're not nervous about tonight?
54:54Just a little.
54:56I don't like being on display.
54:58Well, the first time out in public's
54:59always a bit harrowing.
55:01Anyway, I've always wanted to meet Princess Grace.
55:04She's a nice woman, for an American.
55:13(spectators cheer)
55:32Lady Diana, could we have a look
55:33at the lovely dress, please?
55:36I say, who designed your evening gown?
55:40Wait, just one more please!
55:41(lively classical music)
55:50(hushed chatter)
56:22Good evening, Lady Diana.
56:24I'm delighted to meet you, Princess Grace.
56:26I adore your dress.
56:28It's a terrible mistake.
56:30You look lovely.
56:32Don't pay any attention to them.
56:34Plus, they hound me and spy on me.
56:37I can't stand it, what am I going to do?
56:39Don't worry, Diana, it can only get worse.
56:43I'm so afraid of what's to come.
56:45Don't be, you'll have a wonderful life.
56:48I hope you're right. (chuckles)
56:50The day I set sail for Europe to marry my prince,
56:53I was as happy and as miserable as I could ever be.
56:58We set sail in terrible fog.
57:01I stood at the railings and looked out and thought to myself
57:04"I'm sailing into the unknown."
57:06I had no idea what life was gonna be like.
57:10What would be there when the fog lifted?
57:12But things turned out fine.
57:15Thank you, Grace.
57:17I admire you so much.
57:19Everything you do comes off without a hitch.
57:21(chuckles) In 20 minutes time, I have to stand up
57:24in front of a room full of strangers and read my own poetry.
57:30I am scared stiff.
57:33But I've learned to hide it.
57:35Never let them see you suffer.
57:39"It's the greatest moment of sexual theater since
57:42"Cinderella stepped out of clogs into glass slippers."
57:46We really can't have this sort of thing happen.
57:49I think that looks stunning on a girl my age.
57:51(phone rings)
57:57(phone rings)
58:01It's your private line.
58:03Yes.
58:06Quite.
58:09(phone rings)
58:15(phone rings)
58:17Hello.
58:21I'll join you downstairs.
58:33Don't be too long.
58:36Pleased you called, Gladys.
58:39(chuckles) Yes.
58:40No, no, you're not interrupting, no.
58:41Just picking up a few things.
58:43(laughs)
58:45No, you know I've always got time for you.
58:49(laughs)
58:51(door slams)
59:05Morning.
59:07Special delivery, sir. Thank you.
59:10Oh. I'll take that.
59:11It's addressed to His Royal Highness.
59:13I want to. I want to see what's inside.
59:20We've had so many nice things.
59:22You won't tell Charles, will you?
59:27"F.G."
59:29F.G.?
59:35It's Fred and Gladys.
59:38I want to know why you're giving this bracelet to Camilla.
59:42Hm?
59:44Because she's my friend.
59:46Then why are you hiding it, Fred?
59:50It comes in my office, I believe.
59:51I thought it was our mail?
59:52No, it has nothing to do with you.
59:57(case closes)
59:58You're still in love with her, aren't you?
1:00:00(chuckles) It's just a trinket for a friend.
1:00:02Oh, I see, it's your money and it's your special friend
1:00:05and what difference does it make how I feel?
1:00:08I think you have a slight case of the jitters, Diana.
1:00:12I know I'm somewhat dreading the wedding.
1:00:15But we shall get through it.
1:00:17We won't get through anything
1:00:18if you give Camilla this bracelet.
1:00:29(jubilant classical music)
1:00:45You'll have to walk a little faster, Lady Diana.
1:00:48You don't want to get stuck in the middle of the aisle
1:00:50when the music stops.
1:00:53So many people I want to invite.
1:00:55But there are so many people who must be invited.
1:00:57Foreign heads of state, members of parliament.
1:00:59It was my personal friends I was thinking of, actually.
1:01:02All right.
1:01:04You've arrived, the music ends
1:01:06and Prince Charles takes you from your father.
1:01:09There's also the question of the wedding breakfast.
1:01:11The Prince has suggested several additional guests.
1:01:14Deltran, Camilla Parker-Bowles.
1:01:17Not a chance!
1:01:18But that will be seen- Exactly what I want.
1:01:21I shall have to speak to His Royal Highness.
1:01:25The Prince will do what I want.
1:01:27(upbeat pop music)
1:01:34(lively chatter and laughter)
1:01:55It says here they have live music.
1:01:59(laughs)
1:02:02Suppose I ought to be jealous or something.
1:02:06After all, you've won my prince.
1:02:09And you're welcome to him.
1:02:11Sarah, can't you be civil for one night?
1:02:14You know, ever since you married into the firm, Jane,
1:02:16you've become such a prig.
1:02:19How come he's not dancing with you, Dutch?
1:02:22Perhaps he's forgotten I'm here, much less why.
1:02:44You chose well, Charles.
1:02:46Yes, well I hope you're right, Granny.
1:02:47Of course I'm right.
1:02:49What an odd thing to say.
1:02:53My dear, you look simply enchanting.
1:02:56Thank you, ma'am.
1:03:06(upbeat pop music)
1:03:30You gave it to her?
1:03:35Yes, at lunch today.
1:03:47Charles?
1:03:49What is the problem?
1:03:51Apart from the tears and the tantrum.
1:03:54You must get her through this, she cannot fail.
1:03:56Well, Alfred is seeing to her.
1:03:58I shall want a word with you later, Charles, in private.
1:04:07The worst of it is he didn't even bother to deny it.
1:04:10Or apologize.
1:04:12He just said that she was a friend of his
1:04:14and he intended to give her the bracelet.
1:04:16Well, he has known her for years.
1:04:18I want to call it off.
1:04:19Bad luck, Dutch, your face is on the tea towels,
1:04:21so it's too late to chicken out now.
1:04:23Sarah!
1:04:25You do look awful. How much weight have you lost?
1:04:29Let me talk to her.
1:04:31You wait outside.
1:04:43You can't back out now, Diana.
1:04:45Too many people are counting on you.
1:04:47It'll be better after the stress and strain of the wedding.
1:04:51You'll be his wife, the Princess of Wales.
1:04:57(sighs) What if he doesn't love me?
1:04:59Di, of course he loves you.
1:05:02He just doesn't know how to show it, that's all.
1:05:05What's our life going to be like?
1:05:08His duty's always pulling him away.
1:05:10(chuckles) Even when he's just down the corridor,
1:05:13he's too busy to see me.
1:05:15Remember, this is what you've always wanted.
1:05:18What you've planned for.
1:05:21(Diana chuckles)
1:05:24Then why do I feel like a lamb to the slaughter?
1:05:28You are to stay away from Diana until the wedding.
1:05:31It's too much for her and you're not helping.
1:05:35That's fine.
1:05:39Perhaps we have made a mistake.
1:05:42I still think we should postpone the wedding.
1:05:44(scoffs) It's too late!
1:05:46The crowd's already lining The Mall.
1:05:48The wedding must proceed on schedule.
1:05:52If you don't marry her,
1:05:53the vultures will tear you to pieces.
1:05:58I'm not sure either of you are up to this.
1:06:02And despite the current gray cloudy skies above
1:06:06the forecast is for a beautiful, glorious day.
1:06:09The crowd, estimated at about one million people
1:06:12from all over the country and indeed from all corners
1:06:15of the commonwealth, have spent as many as three days
1:06:18and nights camped out along the two-mile route from
1:06:20Buckingham Palace down The Mall to St. Paul's Cathedral.
1:06:25This is the route along which the traditional glass coach
1:06:28first used by King George V-
1:06:30Everyone in the world is watching it.
1:06:32How are you feeling?
1:06:34I'm just taking it as it comes.
1:06:37Well, this is it.
1:06:38Come on, let's have a look at it.
1:06:40And they will pass the cheering loyal crowds
1:06:42who have traveled here for the wedding of the century.
1:06:46(chuckles) It's beautiful.
1:06:49Provided by the Prince of Wales Company
1:06:51First Battalion- Thank you very much.
1:06:53Been up since around four a.m.
1:06:55preparing for this joyous occasion.
1:06:58A truly great honor to be here.
1:07:01Understandably, a great deal of anticipation is in the air,
1:07:04but nevertheless-
1:07:05They're all here for me, Jane.
1:07:09Oh, god.
1:07:10What if I can't do it?
1:07:12Come on, Dutch, everyone's waiting.
1:07:15In the State Postillion Landau
1:07:17built in 1902 for the Edward VII-
1:07:20All I want is to marry Charles.
1:07:23I can't face all this.
1:07:25Four divisions of the Sovereign's Escort
1:07:27of the Household Calvary.
1:07:28Look at everyone.
1:07:31I can't go through with it.
1:07:32Yes, you can. You must.
1:07:35You've got to pull it together.
1:07:39(bells chime)
1:07:49How are you holding up?
1:07:50I'm fine.
1:07:51Nothing is going to keep me from performing this duty.
1:07:55I can't imagine anything I'd rather do.
1:07:57I couldn't be prouder of you.
1:08:00Thank you, Daddy.
1:08:03(chuckles)
1:08:12(bells chime)
1:08:18(jubilant classical music)
1:09:06Are you sure you're all right, Daddy?
1:09:08I couldn't be better, darling.
1:09:11Good. In that case, I suppose I'm ready. (chuckles)
1:09:34(spectators cheer)
1:09:50Kiss the bride! Kiss the bride!
1:09:54They're trying to get us to kiss.
1:09:55I tried to ask you.
1:09:59Well, how about it?
1:10:02Why not? (chuckles)
1:10:04(spectators cheer)
1:10:12(fire crackles)
1:10:22I thought you looked wonderful today. Wonderful.
1:10:27Wonderful for you.
1:10:31(chuckles)
1:10:33I don't mean to sound awful but I'm very glad it's over.
1:10:35(chuckles) Well, I thought it went well.
1:10:40At least I didn't fall over in front of all those people.
1:10:43Sorry I got your names wrong, Philip Charles.
1:10:46Some think you've just married my father.
1:10:49I was the one who got it wrong when I offered you share
1:10:52all thy worldly goods instead of my own.
1:10:56(warm orchestral music)
1:11:02Everything I have is yours, Charles.
1:11:08Thank you.
1:11:41(both chuckle)
1:11:43Won't always be like this, won't it?
1:11:45Darling, of course it will.
1:11:47You were away so much when we were engaged.
1:11:51Now that we're married,
1:11:52I hope we can spend more time together.
1:11:54Well yes, well that's why I brought along a few books.
1:11:58I thought once you'd had the chance to read them,
1:11:59we must discuss them. (Diana giggles)
1:12:05"True love is the gift which God has given
1:12:09"to man alone beneath the heavens.
1:12:12"It is not fantasy's hot fire,
1:12:14"whose wishes, soon as granted, fly.
1:12:18"It liveth not in fierce desire.
1:12:21"With dead desire, it doth not die.
1:12:24"It is the secret sympathy.
1:12:27"The silver link, the silken tie,
1:12:30"which, heart to heart, and minds to mind,
1:12:33"in body and in soul can bind."
1:12:42(Diana chuckles)
1:13:01Is something wrong?
1:13:02What could be wrong?
1:13:04I so enjoy talking to you and you know so much
1:13:07about so many things and in fact I thought you might like
1:13:09to tell me where you got these cuff links from.
1:13:11They're new, aren't they?
1:13:12I don't remember seeing them before.
1:13:14Yes, they were a gift.
1:13:16Really?
1:13:17(chuckles) Too Cs intertwined.
1:13:20Yes.
1:13:22And don't you think that's a little odd?
1:13:24But I didn't order them.
1:13:27No, you didn't.
1:13:29Camilla did.
1:13:30And you thought you'd bring them on our honeymoon.
1:13:32Diana.
1:13:34You pig!
1:13:38(Charles sighs)
1:13:39(door slams)
1:13:42(dark orchestral music)
1:13:45Morning, Robert. Good morning, Your Highness.
1:13:48I missed breakfast.
1:13:53He's still asleep upstairs.
1:13:56Have you got anymore of that cake you had last night?
1:13:58Yes, ma'am.
1:14:25(toilet flushes)
1:14:31(boat horn blows)
1:14:37We're over at Balmoral until the 7th
1:14:40and then we're scheduled for Wales.
1:14:44I'm really nervous, you know.
1:14:46Nonsense, just follow my lead and smile a lot
1:14:49and pretend you're having a splendid time.
1:14:52That's really good advice, Charles.
1:14:58(sighs)
1:15:05What kind of a man takes a photograph
1:15:07of another woman on his honeymoon?
1:15:10Can't you be without her for more than two weeks?
1:15:13She is a friend.
1:15:15Is that all?
1:15:16I have few friends, Diana, but very good ones.
1:15:18I don't make friends easily, you know that.
1:15:20Do I?
1:15:22Right now I don't know anything, except that I'm fed up!
1:15:27I don't particularly care for the screaming.
1:15:29And I don't particularly care
1:15:30for coming second in your affections!
1:15:32That's silly, Diana. Oh, is it?
1:15:34Then I'm just that silly little schoolgirl that you married
1:15:36who doesn't need to be taken seriously.
1:15:37Well, I refuse to be ignored!
1:15:46(sobs)
1:15:47(cameras snap)
1:15:48How was the honeymoon?
1:15:50Fabulous.
1:15:52How are you enjoying married life?
1:15:54I'd highly recommend it, it's wonderful.
1:15:56Have you cooked him breakfast yet?
1:15:58I don't eat breakfast. (photographers laugh)
1:16:05Thank you. For you, ma'am.
1:16:08I suppose one of you put them on his expenses. (giggles)
1:16:11No, ma'am, we all did.
1:16:12(group laughs)
1:16:14Thank you. Thank you, sir.
1:16:19Well, Fred, now you can run off and phone Gladys.
1:16:22(bagpipe music)
1:17:20Diana? Yes, ma'am.
1:17:21Did you do anything today?
1:17:23There's really nothing for me to do here.
1:17:25I understand you'll be going to Wales.
1:17:27Yes, ma'am.
1:17:28You'll like it in Wales.
1:17:30I'm going to make a speech.
1:17:33I just hope I don't let everybody down.
1:17:35I'm sure Charles won't allow that to happen.
1:17:40Ow. (chuckles)
1:17:41Think he's mistaken me for a chicken leg. (giggles)
1:17:49I don't know how she'll cope with a state banquet
1:17:51if she can't get through a family dinner.
1:17:54I'm sure she'll be fine.
1:17:56She just toys with her food.
1:17:59She must learn to maintain her composure in public.
1:18:03It's obviously very difficult at first.
1:18:06One just has to take a plunge.
1:18:09Are things satisfactory between the two of you?
1:18:13Absolutely.
1:18:15Make sure that they are.
1:18:18Well, she's pregnant.
1:18:20I know.
1:18:22(chuckles) Charles, I'm delighted for you.
1:18:25For both of you.
1:18:28(Charles chuckles)
1:18:31Yes, good for you, Charles.
1:18:37(guns fire)
1:18:50Enjoying yourself?
1:18:52I love animals, Charles. I can't bear all this.
1:18:57Just because you kill animals it doesn't mean
1:18:58to say you don't appreciate them fully.
1:19:04(gun fires)
1:19:07We're supposed to be on holiday.
1:19:10And all you want to do is shoot or talk to Mommy.
1:19:13I enjoy your company, Diana,
1:19:14when you're not yelling at me.
1:19:16(gun fires)
1:19:21Didn't you once tell me this was the best place on earth?
1:19:28(gun fires)
1:19:32(guns fire)
1:19:49Good afternoon, I'm Diana.
1:19:52Your Royal Highness.
1:19:54Oh, sit down. Please.
1:20:01Dreadful weather.
1:20:03Do you always get eight days of rain in a row?
1:20:05No, ma'am.
1:20:14Have a sandwich.
1:20:15Thank you, ma'am.
1:20:21Your Royal Highness, may I speak to you?
1:20:24Yep. Over here, ma'am.
1:20:29Up there is your side of the house, ma'am.
1:20:32Down here is my side of the house, ma'am.
1:20:44(spectators cheer)
1:21:04(cameras snap)
1:21:06Oh, she's as thin as a knife.
1:21:08The joys of married life.
1:21:28Diana! Prince Charles!
1:21:31Are you having a nice time? These are for you.
1:21:34They're lovely, thank you.
1:21:35Thank you.
1:21:38Can I get you a coat or at least some gloves?
1:21:41No, if they can stand the cold, so can I.
1:21:45(spectators chant "we want Diana!")
1:21:50Oh, are these for me? Flowers (chuckles)
1:21:54But where is Diana?
1:21:56Diana?
1:21:58Yes, where's Diana?
1:22:00Well, I'm sorry, I don't have enough wives to go round.
1:22:03Thank you, thank you.
1:22:06We love you, Diana! Thank you very much.
1:22:08They're beautiful, thank you.
1:22:11(spectators chant "we want Diana!")
1:22:22The trouble with being a princess
1:22:23is you can never find a place to pee.
1:22:27Charles, I'm terrified.
1:22:30There's nothing to worry about.
1:22:33I realize that this is a very great honor
1:22:34and I'm most grateful.
1:22:36I would like to try to express
1:22:38my thanks to you in Welsh also.
1:22:40(speaks Welsh)
1:22:45(applause)
1:22:50I do hope that bore some resemblance to what I meant to say
1:22:53which is basically that it is a very great pleasure for me
1:22:56to come to Wales and its capital Cardiff.
1:22:59I look forward to returning here many times in the future.
1:23:02Also I'd just like to add how proud I am to be princess
1:23:04of such a beautiful place
1:23:06and to the Welsh people who are very special to me.
1:23:09(speaks Welsh)
1:23:11(applause)
1:23:19How did I do?
1:23:20You spoke far too fast, you'll have to learn to do better.
1:23:24(melancholy orchestral music)
1:23:43(door closes)
1:23:47Feeling better? Nope.
1:23:50Do you have any idea what it's like
1:23:52to be constantly criticized?
1:23:54Well, they love you.
1:23:56(chuckles) It's not them I'm worried about.
1:23:59I never get a single kind word from you.
1:24:02Not one word of praise.
1:24:04Well, these are things to be earned.
1:24:07I'm trying so hard.
1:24:10All I need is a pat on the back every now and again.
1:24:15Yes.
1:24:17Doing well is what's expected.
1:24:19Then why don't you help me?
1:24:20You have help.
1:24:22If you need anything, ask Alfred or Christopher.
1:24:25I thought after we were married things would be different.
1:24:28Well, they are. You're the Princess of Wales.
1:24:32(chuckles)
1:24:35See, Royal duty is a wider and a more permanent duty.
1:24:41Things you have to do you don't particularly want to.
1:24:45And what about what I want?
1:24:50You're not quite the girl of my engagement, Diana.
1:24:54And nor are you my prince, sir.
1:25:08(Charles sighs)
1:25:10Yes, yes, quite.
1:25:12(chuckles) Oh, well enough, I suppose.
1:25:14I know, she's young, but I'm nothing if not patient.
1:25:18Well, I only think so.
1:25:19Yes, well maybe I'll give it a try.
1:25:21(chuckles)
1:25:24Whatever happens, I will always love you.
1:25:32I have to go now. Yes, now.
1:25:35Yes, now might be a really good idea, Charles.
1:25:38How long is this going to go on?
1:25:40I don't know what you're talking about.
1:25:42"No matter what happens, I will always love you."
1:25:44And so I will. She and I are best friends.
1:25:46But I thought I was supposed to be your best friend?
1:25:48No, you are supposed to be my wife.
1:25:51What do you mean?
1:25:52Well, this was all made clear before we married, Diana.
1:25:54I have explained it in some detail.
1:25:57I don't know why you're struggling with it now.
1:25:59I hate it when you walk away from me like that!
1:26:01All I hear about is your unhappiness.
1:26:03That's because you're making my life miserable!
1:26:05There's no need to be miserable.
1:26:07No need?
1:26:08When I hear my husband telling
1:26:09another woman that he loves her.
1:26:10You're supposed to love me!
1:26:12Then stop acting like a spoiled brat.
1:26:15(chuckles) You refuse to cooperate.
1:26:17You can't just do what you want.
1:26:19You have to live up to your obligations.
1:26:20We're never alone, I only see you at dinner or before bed.
1:26:24What about our life together?
1:26:26I need you to look after me.
1:26:28I need you to hold me, I need you to touch me.
1:26:30You're always being sick.
1:26:32But I feel so abandoned!
1:26:35Well, get used to it, Diana.
1:26:37There's nothing to be done.
1:26:39(somber orchestral music)
1:26:45(Diana sobs)
1:26:53Yours, Charles. Thank you.
1:26:54It was rotten like the fox winter ground in Balaam Wood.
1:26:57Oh, nevermind, Charles.
1:26:59The hunt board said it was a great success.
1:27:01I hear some of the boys
1:27:02let some piglets loose in the room.
1:27:04The ladies were not at all pleased.
1:27:06Friends of yours, perhaps?
1:27:08The piglets or the ladies? (chuckles)
1:27:10That Harry Andrews overtook the master.
1:27:12He was riding in his pocket.
1:27:13Damn fool, horse kicked one hound.
1:27:16Score one for the fox.
1:27:17Pity to lose a good hound. Yes.
1:27:19It was Johnny Parker's favorite bitch.
1:27:21Carried her in his arms, cried like a baby.
1:27:24Her blood ruined his best jacket.
1:27:29Excuse me.
1:27:41Since your wife is pregnant,
1:27:43shouldn't you, uh, see if she's all right?
1:27:46She'll be fine.
1:27:48Were it not for my ability to see the funny side of life,
1:27:50I should've been committed to an institution long ago.
1:27:53Count yourself lucky, Charles.
1:27:54Wait till you get the kids.
1:27:56(indistinct chatter)
1:28:02(tense orchestral music)
1:28:04There you go again!
1:28:05Leaving me all alone.
1:28:07Well go, if you must!
1:28:08Go and have lunch with your precious friends!
1:28:21(tires screech)
1:28:44Why do you do this to me?
1:28:46Why can't we just have lunch together for a change?
1:28:48What do you expect me to do all day long, die of boredom?
1:28:53You call yourself a husband.
1:28:55Well, some husband you are!
1:28:59(engine roars)
1:29:04Why can't you stay with me? I don't feel well.
1:29:08They won't start the hunt without me.
1:29:09I can't stand it anymore!
1:29:11I swear I'm gonna do something drastic.
1:29:13Why don't you just come along?
1:29:15Because standing around in the mud
1:29:17watching you kill innocent animals for sport
1:29:19is not my idea of spending time together!
1:29:28What about me?
1:29:30What about you, hm?
1:29:33All I had to do was to marry, produce an heir,
1:29:39and wait my turn to be king.
1:29:41But I'm your wife!
1:29:43Yes, suddenly I'm reminded.
1:29:45Charles!
1:29:49Diana, the baby!
1:29:55Nothing like this has ever happened before.
1:29:58What are people to be told?
1:29:59Well, the truth, of course.
1:30:01That Diana slipped and took a tumble.
1:30:03I'll see to it that the papers
1:30:05get the correct story, ma'am.
1:30:07And we'll make it absolutely clear
1:30:09that there was no harm done to the unborn child,
1:30:12or to Her Royal Highness.
1:30:14We must make sure that there are
1:30:15no additional burdens on her.
1:30:18Keep her from the strains
1:30:19of public appearances and interviews.
1:30:21No press.
1:30:25We want the Christening to be a modest affair.
1:30:28Just family.
1:30:31We want the photographs to show a radiant mother and child.
1:30:37Ma'am.
1:30:39(bright orchestral music)
1:30:50And look this way, please.
1:30:52Thank you.
1:30:56(Charles chuckles)
1:30:58"Perhaps the most important fact that parents remember
1:31:01is that what works for one child might not work for another.
1:31:04Effective parenting is really a matter of trial and error.
1:31:08You must learn to trust your instincts."
1:31:10(chuckles) You're such a doting father.
1:31:14I never thought I'd gladly be spending
1:31:16more time changing nappies than playing polo.
1:31:19So exhausting.
1:31:25(chuckles)
1:31:26We still have a good time together, Di.
1:31:28When we can get five minutes alone.
1:31:30I get enormous pleasure from being a father.
1:31:32You're away so much.
1:31:35Yes I wish I could spend a little more time with you both.
1:31:39It's just me and the in-laws, isn't it?
1:31:44He's tired, why don't you put him to bed?
1:31:49All right, sweetheart.
1:32:07(chuckles)
1:32:18(rain splashes) (thunder rumbles)
1:32:23How do you stand it?
1:32:26Stand what, ma'am?
1:32:27Scotland.
1:32:29Them.
1:32:32But, um, you're one of them now.
1:32:36I keep wondering what I've got myself into.
1:32:39You'll get used to it. Do you think so?
1:32:43My grandmother always says that they've raised
1:32:45doing nothing to a fine art. (chuckles)
1:32:52Well, you've got your own wheels.
1:32:56And me.
1:32:58(sighs) Well, that makes all the difference.
1:33:07(chuckles)
1:33:10Excuse me, ma'am.
1:33:17(door closes)
1:33:24The Prince has, as is his custom, set the basic schedule.
1:33:28We must get you out, ma'am. People want to see you.
1:33:30The time has come for you to take on
1:33:32your share of the agenda.
1:33:34There'll be your appearance
1:33:35at the ice show at Wembley Arena.
1:33:36You really must memorize who's going to be there
1:33:39and the purpose of the event.
1:33:41Don't worry so much, Christopher, I'll manage.
1:33:44With a smile, perhaps,
1:33:45but you'll be expected to say a few words as well.
1:33:49This is what is expected of the Princess of Wales.
1:33:52Well, thank you, Charles.
1:33:53I was beginning to wonder what a princess is for,
1:33:56other than looking at.
1:33:59In March, you will open
1:34:01the new council-ordered Brighton Hospital.
1:34:03In April is your tour of Australia.
1:34:06Deborah, could you arrange whatever we need
1:34:07to take Wills along?
1:34:12The heir to the throne, ma'am,
1:34:14is left at home for obvious reasons.
1:34:17Well, I will not abandon my son for six whole weeks.
1:34:24Yes, well I'm sure some kind of understanding
1:34:27will be reached on this.
1:34:29Yes, Charles and I will speak to the Queen.
1:34:32I wanted to talk to you about your situation.
1:34:34Things are being said.
1:34:35That you're too thin, that you're not eating enough.
1:34:38I hate those Royal dinners. That you're wilful.
1:34:41I get my way on so few things.
1:34:43Yeah, right.
1:34:44Quite to date you've managed to get six of his staff fired.
1:34:48He's married to them, not me.
1:34:49They're so patronizing, they drive me mad.
1:34:52I'm married to one of them.
1:34:53Yes, I know, but we like Robert.
1:34:56Anyway, who put you up to this?
1:34:58No one, really.
1:34:59Why can't they just talk to me directly?
1:35:01Look, you made a bargain when you married Prince Charles.
1:35:04Oh, he was easy to fall in love with.
1:35:07Diana, listen, when you married into the firm,
1:35:09you became the Princess of Wales,
1:35:11therefore you make the public appearances,
1:35:13you smile, you wave, eat the dinners,
1:35:16and god knows you need them, and smile again.
1:35:19And what about what I want? (sighs) That comes second.
1:35:22I don't see how that's fair.
1:35:23It's not supposed to be fair.
1:35:25Then there's the matter of taking William to Australia.
1:35:27It is, of course, quite out of the question.
1:35:30Jane.
1:35:32Make them understand.
1:35:33I will not go without my son.
1:35:39(spectators cheer) (jubilant music)
1:36:09We want Diana.
1:36:10Well, it's not fair, is it? You got stuck with me.
1:36:12If I was you, I'd ask for your money back.
1:36:13Make sure she gets these.
1:36:15Yes, I'm becoming quite good at that.
1:36:18Thank you, thank you.
1:36:22Well, we certainly picked the wrong side of the street.
1:36:28Princess Diana!
1:36:32Princess Diana! It's all right.
1:36:33It's all right.
1:36:35I so much wanted to see you.
1:36:37I know.
1:36:38I know what it's like to really want something.
1:36:41But you have everything. (Diana chuckles)
1:36:50Here you are. Thank you.
1:36:52Glad to be of use. (Diana chuckles)
1:36:54How much more of this have we got to do?
1:36:56Not much longer now, keep smiling.
1:37:01Thank you very much.
1:37:02Thank you, ma'am. Goodnight.
1:37:04Goodnight.
1:37:07Diana, I don't know why you're so unhappy.
1:37:10People love you.
1:37:11So people keep telling me.
1:37:17But then people tell me a lot of things.
1:37:19Like when to do this or where to do that.
1:37:22But little Wills is here.
1:37:24I know, but I don't get to see him for days at a time.
1:37:30I feel like I'm part of a circus act.
1:37:34Well, you should be pleased, Diana.
1:37:37No one has ever received this kind of adulation.
1:37:39(Diana chuckles)
1:37:43It's not theirs that I want, Charles.
1:37:45Darling, I have paid you quite a lot of attention.
1:37:49(William cries)
1:37:52Nothing like a good scream in the middle of the night.
1:38:02I am sorry, this takes a lot of getting used to.
1:38:07(Diana chuckles)
1:38:30Good evening, Christopher.
1:38:31Earl Spencer.
1:38:33Diana and I had planned to see each other today.
1:38:35She told me to expect you,
1:38:37but once again she's running behind schedule.
1:38:40She's still closeted with her private secretary,
1:38:42after which she has a press interview.
1:38:49The next time this happens,
1:38:51please have the courtesy to inform me.
1:39:05Precisely. We can reroute him through Oxford.
1:39:08He'll spend the night,
1:39:09then he'll be there in the morning for the opening.
1:39:11You will not reroute him anywhere!
1:39:15I'm sorry, ma'am?
1:39:16You are keeping the Prince far too busy.
1:39:17I need Charles to spend more time with me.
1:39:19Well, of course, that is important, ma'am.
1:39:22However, there is the small matter of duty.
1:39:24You will kindly remove all trips from the schedule
1:39:27which require meetings at dinner or breakfast.
1:39:28I cannot allow him to be away overnight.
1:39:30But Your Highness,
1:39:33you really are making my life very difficult.
1:39:35Well, in that case, Christopher,
1:39:39may I suggest that you look for employment elsewhere?
1:39:44She really has no idea
1:39:45what it means to be the Princess of Wales.
1:39:48Don't count on that.
1:39:54If it were up to me, Christopher,
1:39:56I would not do this. I know that, sir.
1:39:59We've been together a long time.
1:40:00But she must see that I'm making some effort
1:40:03to accommodate her wishes and let her have her way.
1:40:07At least for a while.
1:40:09Perhaps that will do some good, sir.
1:40:13I shall see that you get a good position.
1:40:15I don't anticipate a problem, sir.
1:40:18It is really for the best, I have found myself increasingly
1:40:21frustrated, or prevented, so to speak, from doing my job.
1:40:27The Princess has decided to decide
1:40:29what is best for the Princess.
1:40:32Yes, yes. Quite.
1:40:36(riders yell) (dogs bark)
1:40:51(horns blow)
1:40:54It's very nice of you to stay at home with me, Charles.
1:40:56I know you'd rather be out hunting.
1:40:58Nonsense.
1:41:09(suspenseful music)
1:41:19It's Camilla.
1:41:23Charles, I thought she'd gone.
1:41:29Well, I won't be a minute.
1:41:44Rose!
1:41:46Hello, darling.
1:41:49We've missed you. Well, I've missed you too.
1:41:59Had a bit of handholding to do.
1:42:00(chuckles) Do you good to get out.
1:42:04Charles? Charles! (Charles chuckles)
1:42:07Charles!
1:42:10Damn you.
1:42:13Right, well I'm for it now. (Camilla chuckles)
1:42:17I'll see you soon, yes? Bye bye.
1:42:26I don't know why they call it morning sickness.
1:42:28I feel ill all the time.
1:42:30Yes, Diana.
1:42:31How dare you keep me waiting!
1:42:34Well, you might have come over.
1:42:35Did she come over? No, she just waved.
1:42:38Anyway, I thought you'd stopped seeing her.
1:42:40I don't intend to give her up altogether,
1:42:42so you might as well get used to it.
1:42:43I'm not going to get used to anything, Charles.
1:42:47(glass shatters)
1:42:49Bloody hell, Diana!
1:42:56The Princess has had another accident.
1:43:04She was a bit shaken up, but she's fine.
1:43:08What did you do this time?
1:43:11Camilla was hunting near Highgrove.
1:43:12I went out and had a word.
1:43:14You really must be more thoughtful.
1:43:16You must take the time to be a father and a husband.
1:43:21Let William the new baby have the family life
1:43:24that my duty's prevented me from giving you.
1:43:27I don't understand, Mother.
1:43:29I have decided there will be no changes at this time.
1:43:37But Mommy, that's not fair.
1:43:39I have done everything that was expected of me.
1:43:41I have married, I have produced an heir.
1:43:43Be reasonable, Charles, it was time for you to be married.
1:43:48Diana has been acting strangely.
1:43:52You can't blame me for her irrationalities.
1:43:54You must see to it that she settles
1:43:55into her role as your wife.
1:43:57What about my role as King?
1:43:59There will be time for that.
1:44:02I was promised that-
1:44:03You were promised nothing!
1:44:08I think this is for the best.
1:44:11(brooding orchestral music)
1:44:35(warm orchestral music)
1:44:39Hello, Charles.
1:44:40Hello, darling.
1:44:43Came through it fine, hm?
1:44:46Both of us.
1:44:47Another boy. Gosh, he even has rusty hair.
1:44:52Are you really so disappointed he's another boy?
1:44:55Well, I was rather really hoping for one of each,
1:44:58but we can try for a girl next time.
1:45:01(chuckles) I don't think the world's ready for another me.
1:45:09I think we should discuss
1:45:10the implications of that, Your Highness.
1:45:12Surely it's just a dressing up or something?
1:45:14But that is just the point.
1:45:16When she cuts her hair short,
1:45:18it is more than a fashion statement.
1:45:20What smells worse than an anchovy?
1:45:22I don't know.
1:45:24An anchovy's bottom. (Diana laughs)
1:45:26She gives up her femininity
1:45:28to assume an androgynous pansexuality.
1:45:31What are the straps in a Rolls Royce for?
1:45:36To rest your ankles in. (giggles)
1:45:38I can't believe you said that.
1:45:41Oh, god, if you two have lost your sense of humor,
1:45:43I shall leave you to your talk of pandrogynous sexuality.
1:45:51I'm so glad you're here, Fergie.
1:45:53Charles' polo chums are so boring.
1:45:56Thank god for Gilbey.
1:45:59The Queen's asked me to find two suitable friends
1:46:01for the Ascot week.
1:46:02I think she thinks I'm going to be bored.
1:46:04Do you want to come? Don't know that I'd fit in.
1:46:07Prince Andrew's going to be there.
1:46:09Now that sounds like fun.
1:46:11Oh, please, please come.
1:46:12You'll be the only other person my age. Everyone's so old.
1:46:16Charles will there.
1:46:19Charles is the oldest of them all.
1:46:21(both laugh)
1:46:26(dark orchestral music)
1:47:00(vomits and coughs)
1:47:14(Charles sighs)
1:47:15Well, nothing's really working out as we had hoped.
1:47:18Diana won't fit into the family
1:47:20or settle into a job as my wife.
1:47:22Give her time, Charles.
1:47:23She sulks and throws tantrums.
1:47:24Be reasonable, you snapped her up
1:47:26before she had time to enjoy being a girl.
1:47:28She's finding out who she is
1:47:29and what it means to be Princess of Wales.
1:47:31Well, it's been three years,
1:47:33and she knew what was expected of her.
1:47:34Did she? I wonder.
1:47:37Anyway, I expect she's missing her old friends.
1:47:40Well, they don't fit in either.
1:47:42I find them moronic.
1:47:44I expect she finds yours boring.
1:47:46Well, they're no different than I.
1:47:48Quite. My point exactly.
1:47:50Come on!
1:47:55(jazzy piano music) (hushed chatter)
1:48:03(laughs) You're joking! Yes.
1:48:06Good stock, that one.
1:48:08Free from all the airs and graces we can't stand.
1:48:12I hear she rides quite well.
1:48:14(both laugh)
1:48:17I'd like to see you ride again, Diana.
1:48:20I've praying to God for the courage
1:48:22to get back in the saddle again.
1:48:24I realized how important it is to Charles.
1:48:27To us.
1:48:28I'll arrange for you to have some lessons.
1:48:31Do you good to get out.
1:48:35I feel so sorry for Diana, she looks so unhappy.
1:48:38Well, I'm grateful to her.
1:48:40With Wills and Harry,
1:48:41there's no chance I'll ever have to be King.
1:48:43So I can enjoy my life.
1:48:45I just hope she finds a way to enjoy hers.
1:48:56(orchestra warms up)
1:49:06Diana, where are you going?
1:49:07I've a lovely surprise for you, Charles.
1:49:17She's just full of surprises, Charles.
1:49:20Isn't she?
1:49:24(upbeat music)
1:49:37Oh, my word! (audience applauds)
1:49:53(audience laughs and applauds)
1:50:20(audience applauds)
1:50:36I don't know what gets into you.
1:50:38They loved me, I was a hit.
1:50:40The Princess of Wales is not a showgirl.
1:50:42Oh, I thought you wanted me
1:50:43to make more public appearances?
1:50:45That is not what we meant. It was damned undignified.
1:50:49There's so much that I want to express
1:50:51and every time I try,
1:50:52you just yell at me and tell me I'm disappointing you!
1:50:57You're being tiresome, Diana.
1:51:07Oh, yes, look at this one.
1:51:09Oh, wonderful!
1:51:11Hello.
1:51:18Oh, it's too small.
1:51:21I may have a big head but there's not much in it. (laughs)
1:51:25I think you look smashing.
1:51:27Well, I want to choose what I want to wear.
1:51:30I don't want to have my clothes chosen for the job
1:51:31by some professional bachelor.
1:51:33That's rather a lot.
1:51:35When did that ever stop us?
1:51:37I'm damned if I spend too much and damned if I don't look
1:51:40as though I stepped off the pages of a fashion magazine.
1:51:42What do you think?
1:51:45Well, you might be able to get away with it.
1:51:47(Diana chuckles)
1:51:48That bad?
1:51:49Terrible.
1:51:59(hooves clack)
1:52:02Come on, I'll race you.
1:52:07(sighs)
1:52:08Very good, ma'am, very good.
1:52:11Good fun. Brilliant.
1:52:14Such a good horse, good boy. Well done, come on.
1:52:17(Diana chuckles) Come on.
1:52:18Thank you, Captain Hewitt.
1:52:22I'm not quite sure what must be done.
1:52:25It's really rather alarming.
1:52:27One of these wretched men called you a fiend and a monster.
1:52:31Well, they're scum, but we can't ignore them.
1:52:34But I haven't done anything, I haven't changed.
1:52:37(scoffs) Well, it says here
1:52:39you're spending over 4,000 pounds a week on clothes
1:52:42and that you're suffering from anorexia and here it says
1:52:45that you're bossy and that young Wills is running wild.
1:52:49They are also suggesting that there is some, uh,
1:52:53unhappiness between yourself and His Royal Highness.
1:52:57You really must try and put your marriage in order.
1:53:01We must dispel the rumor
1:53:02that there's a rift between you and Diana.
1:53:05The worst part is, all this obsession about our situation
1:53:09is deflecting attention from the serious issues.
1:53:12Instead of public housing or something worthwhile,
1:53:15they're talking about her hemline.
1:53:20We felt that they should present a united front, ma'am.
1:53:23So I took the liberty of initiating
1:53:25a joint television interview.
1:53:29Are you sure that this is the right thing to do?
1:53:31I'm afraid it's become an unfortunate necessity, ma'am.
1:53:35Do I really have to?
1:53:36It is rather unprecedented,
1:53:38airing one's dirty linen in public.
1:53:41The Prince and Princess must make a case
1:53:43for their marital happiness, ma'am.
1:53:45All this is a damn nuisance.
1:53:50Okay, nice and quiet, everyone. Recording this time.
1:53:52Sir, ma'am. Stand by, Paul.
1:53:54Here we go in five seconds.
1:54:02Your Royal Highness.
1:54:04You have to attend so many functions.
1:54:06How careful are you with your diet?
1:54:10Well, I'm never on what's called a diet, but at state
1:54:13dinners it's very hard to talk and eat at the same time.
1:54:17Perhaps I'm so thin because of all the exercise I take.
1:54:20You're also renowned for your fashion sense.
1:54:23Do you consult each other on what to wear?
1:54:26She says to me "which one shall I wear?"
1:54:28And I say "well, why don't you wear that one?"
1:54:32And I go in the other one. (giggles)
1:54:33Then why'd you ask me?
1:54:35Oh, I don't know.
1:54:37But there are one or two things about Charles' image
1:54:39that I've changed, the odd tie.
1:54:41Yes, shoes.
1:54:43Shoes, but nothing dramatic.
1:54:45What do you consider to be
1:54:46the balance of your relationship?
1:54:49Well, I don't think I am a domineering wife,
1:54:51but I am a perfectionist with myself.
1:54:54Yes, I suspect that most husbands and wives
1:54:58find they often have arguments.
1:55:00But we don't.
1:55:01Well, occasionally we do.
1:55:04No, we don't.
1:55:06(both chuckle)
1:55:08I see, thank you.
1:55:10(muffled chatter and laughter)
1:55:22Let's walk.
1:55:27I've got some news, Your Highness.
1:55:30There's to be a new man to guard you.
1:55:34But I thought we were friends.
1:55:36Have I done something wrong?
1:55:40I've been transferred.
1:55:42It seems, uh, I've become too familiar.
1:55:48But I count on you, you're so understanding.
1:55:52I'll have them transfer you right back.
1:55:54You can't, it's done.
1:56:00What am I going to do without you?
1:56:04You'll be fine.
1:56:08Will I?
1:56:22(wind blows)
1:56:28(cameras snap)
1:56:30Good morning!
1:56:31Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am.
1:56:32Morning. Morning.
1:56:33Could we have you just standing there?
1:56:35Look this way, please! Thank you.
1:56:37Thank you, just like that. Thank you.
1:56:39Let's show them what they look like.
1:56:42(laughter)
1:56:45Make sure you get that, all right?
1:56:47Come on, don't do that.
1:56:48Can't you control your wife?
1:56:52(women laugh)
1:56:54One more!
1:56:55If you want to behave like a spoiled schoolgirl,
1:56:57at least wait until the photographers leave at least.
1:56:59Yeah, what you do in public is fair game.
1:57:01No one in his right mind
1:57:02could excuse this kind of behavior.
1:57:04Oh, I suppose you must be mad, then.
1:57:05You are a fool, but I love you.
1:57:08Hold it, just like that. Lovely!
1:57:11(upbeat pop music) (lively chatter and laughter)
1:57:21Philip, I haven't seen you for ages!
1:57:23That's because I have to work for a living.
1:57:26We work for ours.
1:57:27The Queen Mom always says-
1:57:29Your work is the rent you pay
1:57:32for the room you occupy on Earth!
1:57:36I envy you going off to sea.
1:57:39Don't you find that leaving the wife behind
1:57:41adds a bit of spice to the homecoming?
1:57:45We haven't shared a bedroom in months!
1:57:48At least you can sleep at night.
1:57:50Sarah doesn't let me get a lot of rest.
1:57:55Who's that?
1:57:57Philip Dunne. What?
1:57:58Philip Dunne. A childhood friend of Sarah's.
1:58:01Does something with money.
1:58:05Hello.
1:58:08Look, it's time we went.
1:58:10You're so boring and stuffy and old before your time.
1:58:12No, I'm tired, Diana.
1:58:14Well, go to bed by yourself. You always do anyway.
1:58:20You handled that well.
1:58:20I'd do anything for a quiet life.
1:58:24Andy!
1:58:27Oh, no. Wills.
1:58:29Right. I just got it.
1:58:33Hello, you two fiends.
1:58:35Hello, darlings. (John chuckles)
1:58:37Come along, children. Thank you, nanny.
1:58:41(groans)
1:58:44(chuckles)
1:58:46Sometimes I worry I will never see you again.
1:58:49Except maybe on the television.
1:58:52You're as famous as the Pope.
1:58:54Now how can you think that?
1:58:55You're the most important man in my life.
1:58:58There are times I come to see you, dear,
1:59:00when I am turned away.
1:59:02I can't believe you had him sent away.
1:59:06But I was told he couldn't wait.
1:59:07You can't allow them to tell you
1:59:09when to see your own father.
1:59:11You have no idea how much pain you caused him.
1:59:14All he wanted to do was see you.
1:59:19You know how proud I am of you, Diana.
1:59:22I'm glad someone is.
1:59:25Being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be, you know.
1:59:29I don't know where my public image stops
1:59:30and my private life starts anymore.
1:59:32(chuckles) That's all right, dear.
1:59:34Just as long as you keep producing children.
1:59:46(smooth pop music)
1:59:57I wouldn't mind a dance.
1:59:59Not just now, Diana.
2:00:02It makes my heart sink to make
2:00:03an awful exhibition of ourself.
2:00:07Why don't you just go and play with the Rottweiler?
2:00:13Come on, for goodness sake, let's dance.
2:00:32So, she makes herself sick all the time.
2:00:33She gets so damn moody she's impossible to deal with.
2:00:36She wants things from me that I don't have to give.
2:00:39She has done what is expected of her.
2:00:42Giving you two fine sons.
2:00:46You had plenty of time to sew your wild oats.
2:00:49Well, how long am I supposed to be patient?
2:00:51As long as it takes for her to grow up.
2:00:56And for you to become king.
2:00:58(Charles chuckles)
2:01:00Why can't you just leave my husband alone?
2:01:15(chuckles)
2:01:46(engine revs)
2:01:52Weeding the garden was how I was punished when I was little.
2:01:57Well, I enjoy doing the work myself.
2:02:00Taking your jacket off and working with your hands.
2:02:05Getting in touch with the soil.
2:02:10It's when I take a good look at myself.
2:02:14What do you see, Charles?
2:02:25(sighs)
2:02:29I thought we might take the children back to London.
2:02:34Grouse season opens today.
2:02:37Pity the poor birds.
2:02:38It's what we do, Diana.
2:02:40Well, it's not what I do.
2:02:43I'm going back.
2:02:45Well, that's your choice.
2:03:06What're you doing?
2:03:09Where are you taking all these things?
2:03:10Prince Charles has asked that his personal effects
2:03:12be transported to Highgrove, ma'am.
2:03:14Is Daddy leaving?
2:03:16No. No, he's not.
2:03:28(sighs)
2:03:31(cameras snap) (paparazzi chatter)
2:03:39One more. Look this way, ma'am, please.
2:03:45Lady Di! Over here!
2:03:46Royal Highness, have anything to say?
2:03:54Will!
2:03:55Hello, Will!
2:03:58Prince Charles, Prince Charles!
2:04:00(cameras snap)
2:04:07Sir? Sir, look this way.
2:04:10Prince Charles.
2:04:11Ma'am.
2:04:12Ma'am, have you anything to say?
2:04:14All that's left of this fairytale marriage
2:04:16is a photo opportunity.
2:04:19Who are they kidding?
2:04:21Excuse me, ma'am.
2:04:26(guests laugh)
2:04:28Well, I still say it was ruddy hard.
2:04:30I saw Sarrington down a pheasant
2:04:31well after Rodney left the field.
2:04:33Come on, Camilla, Sarrington can't hit the side of a bath.
2:04:36(guests laugh)
2:04:37Well, that's true, quite.
2:04:38You may clear, thank you.
2:04:40More wine, Edgar?
2:04:42No, thank you.
2:04:43I thought after dinner, perhaps we might play charades.
2:04:47Oh, sounds like fun.
2:04:49Oh, unless you're too tired?
2:04:51No, you can always stay awake for a bit of fun.
2:04:53(guests chuckle)
2:04:57(gentle ballet music)
2:05:26Alfred, I didn't see you there. I was just-
2:05:29I'm afraid I have some bad news, ma'am.
2:05:31What's happened?
2:05:33It's Sergeant Mannakee, ma'am, a motorcycle accident.
2:05:35Well, I must go to him at once.
2:05:37I'm sorry, ma'am, it's too late.
2:05:40He's dead.
2:05:43Oh, my god.
2:05:52(sobs)
2:06:04A sissonne tombe.
2:06:06Roll over head, nice and lightly.
2:06:08And lift and lift and lift and smooth.
2:06:11Prepare for your pirouettes.
2:06:14And again, sissonne tombe.
2:06:16Roll over head.
2:06:17And lightly up, up, up.
2:06:20And through.
2:06:22And prepare for your pirouettes.
2:06:24And lift, heads front.
2:06:26Up, open, and finish close.
2:06:30(spectators applaud)
2:06:40That's all I ever wanted to be when I was little.
2:06:43When I was teenager, I used to go off by myself
2:06:46and listen to music and dance like a maniac.
2:06:48It was the only way I could express myself.
2:06:51I longed to become a ballerina.
2:06:54What stopped you?
2:06:56I got too tall,
2:06:57and everyone kept telling me I wasn't good enough.
2:07:00I sometimes wonder if any of us
2:07:01ever recover from our childhood.
2:07:03(Diana chuckles)
2:07:05Diana.
2:07:06When I knew that AIDS had limited my time on earth,
2:07:11I vowed to make the most of each day I had left.
2:07:15Now I'd like you to consider joining me
2:07:17on the board of the AIDS Crisis Trust.
2:07:23Yes, of course, Adrian.
2:07:25Well, that's good,
2:07:27'cause when the Princess of Wales gives her blessing,
2:07:29the rest of the world follows,
2:07:31and you have a way of making people
2:07:33open their wallets for a worthy cause.
2:07:38(spectators applaud)
2:07:51Uncle James, take me out there with you, I want to play.
2:07:54Can't do that, Your Highness.
2:07:55It's not in the rules, I'm afraid.
2:07:57Hello there.
2:07:59How're you getting on? Need anything?
2:08:00No, thank you, Captain.
2:08:01It's kind of you to ask, though.
2:08:04Are you still coming for a riding lesson tomorrow morning?
2:08:06I certainly am! (chuckles)
2:08:10(camera snaps)
2:08:12I'm afraid this is not a happy situation, ma'am.
2:08:15The tabloids have picked up on the fact that because the
2:08:18Prince and Princess have such busy and sometimes conflicting
2:08:21schedules, they've been forced to be apart for some 38 days.
2:08:28"It has been impossible to disguise the differences
2:08:32between the Royal couple and certainly in recent months
2:08:36they appear to have given up even trying."
2:08:38Rather nicely put, I must say.
2:08:40However, one does prefer such things
2:08:43to stay within the palace walls.
2:08:46It's all so innocent.
2:08:48I will not be made out to be the guilty party.
2:08:51I hold you responsible for much of this, Charles.
2:08:54You were born into the firm.
2:08:57You were told to help Diana find her way.
2:09:00Well, six years is a long time to be lost.
2:09:03(scoffs) We want you to patch it up.
2:09:07Now how do you expect to be King
2:09:08if you can't manage your own wife?
2:09:11(rumbling)
2:09:19(Diana gasps)
2:09:22(door opens and closes)
2:09:30Are you okay?
2:09:34Just had a really bad dream. (helicopter blades whir)
2:09:40(telephone rings)
2:09:43There's been an accident?
2:09:45Yes, a call for medical assistance?
2:09:47What's happened?
2:09:49We'll have to wait until we know more.
2:09:50No, tell me what's happened now!
2:09:52There's been an accident on the slopes, one dead.
2:09:55They don't know who yet.
2:09:58(siren wails)
2:10:05(telephone rings) (somber music)
2:10:10Yes?
2:10:12Yes, of course. I'll inform Her Royal Highness immediately.
2:10:16Thank you.
2:10:26Prince Charles is quite safe, ma'am, I'm afraid,
2:10:30I'm afraid Major Lindsay is dead, ma'am.
2:10:33Mrs. Palmer-Tomkinson is seriously injured.
2:10:39(crowd yell)
2:10:49Thank god you're alive.
2:10:58It's clear from our investigations
2:11:01that your group skied outside the marked runs.
2:11:03You set off the fatal avalanche.
2:11:06That you survived was more luck than good judgment.
2:11:10Goodnight, sir.
2:11:11Ma'am.
2:11:25(Diana sighs)
2:11:26Will you have to answer charges?
2:11:30No, not in a court of law.
2:11:34I shall have to answer to myself.
2:11:38These people were my guests, deferred to my wishes.
2:11:44I watched as he disappeared into a giant cloud of snow.
2:11:52And afterwards...
2:11:56I just remember clawing at the snow with my bare hands.
2:12:04And I just kept saying, over and...
2:12:09Responsibility.
2:12:12Responsibility.
2:12:14Over and over, control.
2:12:17Control.
2:12:20Why do you suppose I said that?
2:12:28We must go home straight away.
2:12:30No, I can't.
2:12:32It's our responsibility.
2:12:36We must take Hugh's body back.
2:12:40It's the least we can do for his wife.
2:12:51(sighs) It was terrible night.
2:12:53I tried to get close to him.
2:12:55He wouldn't let me.
2:12:57I felt so useless.
2:12:59You did your best.
2:13:01Well, when we got home,
2:13:02I invited Hugh's widow to Highgrove and we stayed up
2:13:04all night, talking and remembering him.
2:13:07I think I did make a small difference.
2:13:09You're the kindest person I know, Diana.
2:13:11You're so good at helping people when they're sad.
2:13:14You tell Charles that.
2:13:17Do you know, I think it makes me sick to be near him.
2:13:20You can't blame Charles for everything.
2:13:23(chuckles) Whose side are you on?
2:13:25Yours, always.
2:13:28That's why I have to say this to you.
2:13:30Don't you think I know what you've been doing?
2:13:32Why you're so thin and moody?
2:13:33I've known for a long time that you mistake
2:13:36throwing up for dieting.
2:13:39Diana, I love you. That's why I'm saying this.
2:13:42People die from doing what you're doing. You must get help!
2:13:46If you don't, I'll go to the papers.
2:13:49I'll tell the entire world that you're bulimic.
2:13:51You can't do that.
2:13:52I will, if that's what it takes to make you get help.
2:14:03(Diana sighs)
2:14:05Okay.
2:14:09How many times have you tried to commit suicide?
2:14:12Four or five, perhaps.
2:14:15Tell me about the first time.
2:14:16(chuckles) I don't think that I was really trying to-
2:14:19Kill yourself?
2:14:23Sounds so cold.
2:14:25There's nothing pleasant about death, Your Highness.
2:14:28Or about living with bulimia.
2:14:30Do you have any idea what you're doing to yourself?
2:14:34When you make yourself vomit,
2:14:35it isn't just food that comes up.
2:14:37You're forcing up acids which belong only in the stomach
2:14:40to come up through your gullet, your mouth and your throat.
2:14:43You'll eventually burn away parts of your esophagus,
2:14:45your entire body chemistry will be thrown out of balance.
2:14:48You may experiencing acute headaches, anxiety attacks,
2:14:53feelings of isolation, violent mood changes,
2:14:56in addition to which, how is your sex drive?
2:14:59People around here don't talk about such things.
2:15:01They didn't talk about the bulimia
2:15:03or the suicide attempts?
2:15:05Oh, I should think they chatted about it.
2:15:06Just not to me, that's all.
2:15:09Often, when a person does herself harm,
2:15:11it's a desperate cry for help and I'm here to help you.
2:15:16I'd like to believe you.
2:15:18But you must be prepared
2:15:19to deal with things that are painful.
2:15:21Therapy's not about what is wrong with others,
2:15:23or what they have done to you.
2:15:24It's about what is wrong with you
2:15:25and what you are doing to yourself,
2:15:27but I promise you one thing.
2:15:29If you manage to keep your food down for six months,
2:15:31you'll be a new person.
2:15:51We'll be seeing that again.
2:15:55A waste.
2:15:56Bastard.
2:16:00I have agreed to become a patron of an AIDS charity,
2:16:03but I'm meeting with resistance
2:16:04from certain members of the palace staff.
2:16:07I don't think it's fitting that the future
2:16:09Queen of England work with that particular affliction.
2:16:12Is that because the present Queen objects to the
2:16:13controversy or is that because you would rather that I
2:16:16devote my time to the protection of rhubarb?
2:16:18Nothing wrong with rhubarb.
2:16:25I'd like you to help me to learn to speak in public.
2:16:30Why not ask Alfred?
2:16:37To hell with you. I shall do it myself.
2:16:50As a mother of two small boys,
2:16:52I know family life is extremely important,
2:16:55and I think we may have to find
2:16:56a securer way of helping our children.
2:16:59To nurture and prepare them to face life
2:17:00as stable and confident adults.
2:17:03You have almost emptied the hall by now
2:17:07and those remaining are fast asleep.
2:17:11Firstly, don't look down when you speak.
2:17:15Let us see your pretty face, hm?
2:17:19And then relax and speak more slowly.
2:17:23That will bring your register down from its present squeak.
2:17:27(chuckles) Are you this awful to everyone?
2:17:30Yes.
2:17:31Being awful is a splendid way to gain the world's attention.
2:17:34You might remember that. (chuckles)
2:17:38And again!
2:17:40One minute I was a nobody,
2:17:41the next minute I was the Princess of Wales.
2:17:45Mother, media toy, member of this family.
2:17:49It's too much for one person to handle.
2:17:51Everywhere I go, thousands of people turn out to see me.
2:17:56And then I go home and live this mouse-like existence.
2:17:59No one ever says "well done."
2:18:00It doesn't matter what other people think.
2:18:02It's what you think.
2:18:03(sighs) Sometimes I get so fed up with it.
2:18:07That's why I involve myself with my work, get out and about.
2:18:10If I stop to think, I'll go mad.
2:18:13So pretty.
2:18:15Hats make me feel so confident.
2:18:17(knocks)
2:18:19Excuse me, ma'am, have you had a chance
2:18:20to look at your draft of the, um-
2:18:22Timetable?
2:18:23Yes, I have, actually. I've given it considerable thought.
2:18:27And, uh, here's what I want.
2:18:30On the 3rd in the morning,
2:18:31I'm to deliver a speech at the opening of the new daycare
2:18:34center at the Teaside Hospice Care Foundation.
2:18:37Then I shall attend a luncheon to launch the National AIDS
2:18:40Trust at the Guild Hall and that night there's a reception
2:18:43for the British Sports Association for the Disabled.
2:18:46Rather a busy schedule. We shall have to see.
2:18:48Thank you, Alfred. (shredder hums)
2:18:57(cameras snap)
2:19:03And this is Michael.
2:19:05Michael was a wonderful dancer.
2:19:07Hello, Michael.
2:19:10Now I'm known as a man with AIDS.
2:19:16I'm worried someone may throw a brick through my window.
2:19:22I'm afraid you have to live with their ignorance, Michael.
2:19:28Thank you.
2:19:30This means more to me than anything.
2:19:42You see, Diana.
2:19:44You have the ability to make a real difference.
2:19:46Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
2:19:52(Diana laughs)
2:19:55Diana? Yeah?
2:20:02Oh, great.
2:20:06Good for you.
2:20:08Damn press are taking me to task for all manner of things.
2:20:11I'm too fat. Well, I'm too thin.
2:20:13Bad dresser. Shopaholic.
2:20:15Too loud!
2:20:16Too shy.
2:20:18Leaving my baby.
2:20:20Taking my baby.
2:20:22What the hell do they know about us anyway?
2:20:24Everything, down to the size of our bras. (laughs)
2:20:28Well, just don't give them anything to latch onto, Sarah.
2:20:31Be delightful but be discreet.
2:20:34There's something about the men in this damned family.
2:20:36They're absolute hell on horses and women.
2:20:40Well, I'm going to Highgrove this weekend.
2:20:42Camilla's sister's having a 40th birthday party.
2:20:45So he's still seeing her?
2:20:47Mm-hm.
2:20:49No one's expecting to see me, though.
2:20:53Will, Harry, come on.
2:20:58(background chatter)
2:21:01Excuse me.
2:21:03How are you?
2:21:06Hello, Camilla. Good evening, sir.
2:21:07Diana, how nice of you to come.
2:21:09I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
2:21:12How's your mother, sir? Still Queen.
2:21:15Your sister's always been a particular favorite of ours.
2:21:17How wonderful that she's turned 40.
2:21:20Now that I'm 27 I'm beginning to feel rather old.
2:21:28The things I saw in that AIDS ward were beyond belief.
2:21:32Those precious little children.
2:21:35And I'm afraid a lot of them are dead now.
2:21:44Excuse me, please.
2:21:51I need to speak to Camilla.
2:21:52I'd like the rest of you leave, please.
2:22:01Charles?
2:22:07Close the door on your way out.
2:22:09(door closes)
2:22:11That was hardly civil.
2:22:13Oh.
2:22:15Oh, of course. You're an expert in proper behavior.
2:22:18I mean, you wouldn't be caught dead
2:22:20stealing an other woman's husband!
2:22:21Don't be ridiculous.
2:22:22I wasn't born yesterday, Camilla. I know.
2:22:25I've always known there's something going on
2:22:26between you and Charles.
2:22:28We're good friends, have been for years.
2:22:32Well, I suppose we do have one thing in common.
2:22:35He never told either of us that he cared for us.
2:22:37At least not in time anyway.
2:22:40You lost him and now I'm losing him.
2:22:44Are you drunk?
2:22:46No, I'm just really angry.
2:22:49So I just thought I'd let you know, Gladys,
2:22:51that I resent the letters and the phone calls
2:22:53and the adorable little cuff links with the Cs intertwined
2:22:57and I resent you fluffing the pillows
2:22:59and playing lady of the manor at Highgrove.
2:23:01You really are a ridiculous creature.
2:23:03Perhaps, but I feel so much better
2:23:06for having said this to your face.
2:23:11How do you feel when you're with Charles or his family?
2:23:15Hopeless.
2:23:18Trapped.
2:23:20Unwanted.
2:23:22I never seem to be able to think of anything to say
2:23:24that they want to hear.
2:23:27Oh and then I fly into these rages with Charles
2:23:29or the staff and I just cry and cry.
2:23:32I was never like that before I went to the palace.
2:23:35Keep one thing in mind, Your Highness.
2:23:37They're as much stuck with you as you are with them.
2:23:40Define your limits, make people deal with you,
2:23:42and let them know what you want.
2:23:45(sighs) What I want is love, affection.
2:23:52Have you asked for those things?
2:23:54If you want something, you must let people know.
2:23:57It's rather odd, how I push people away from me
2:24:01when I need them the most.
2:24:03When I'm hurting.
2:24:20I thought we might talk.
2:24:24Well, you could stop weeding for a minute.
2:24:31This may come as a surprise.
2:24:33Oh, really?
2:24:36I want another baby.
2:24:38(Charles chuckles)
2:24:40Thought you swore you'd never
2:24:40go through another pregnancy?
2:24:42Well, yes, there were reasons for that, but,
2:24:44it should be easier this time.
2:24:46You already work 16 hours a day.
2:24:49You're too busy to have another.
2:24:56I want us to make this marriage work.
2:24:57I want us to make a fresh start.
2:25:00This is depressing, actually.
2:25:02What is?
2:25:04That one should work at marriage.
2:25:07It should just come.
2:25:09But it hasn't, in our case.
2:25:11And I want you to stop seeing Camilla.
2:25:24Did you ever love me?
2:25:28No.
2:25:39(spectators cheer)
2:25:51That's right, swing it.
2:25:52That's it.
2:26:04No, Will. Harry, Harry.
2:26:05Come back, come back. Please.
2:26:06Here we go, Herbert.
2:26:09(Charles groans)
2:26:10Get in nice and close.
2:26:11What do you think I'm trying to do?
2:26:13Is he okay? It looked pretty nasty.
2:26:19That's it, sir.
2:26:21Take the weight off it now, sir.
2:26:25There we are, that's it. (cameras snap)
2:26:31Is Daddy all right, nanny?
2:26:33I know, I'll just play left-handed now.
2:26:36Thank you again, thank you.
2:26:39How are you feeling, sir? (cameras snap)
2:26:41What an original question.
2:26:42How's the arm, Your Highness?
2:26:44Well, if you want to know, I'm barely alive.
2:26:47(cameras snap)
2:26:53Thought I'd fetch you myself.
2:26:55Oh, well I hadn't planned on returning to the palace.
2:26:58Well, what exactly had you planned on doing?
2:27:01Well, there's not much I can do.
2:27:02I thought I'd go to Highgrove.
2:27:04At least until the cast comes off.
2:27:08(cameras snap)
2:27:11Can you turn this way, please, ma'am?
2:27:13Just one picture, ma'am.
2:27:17I suspect I won't be out and about too much longer.
2:27:21Don't be silly, Adrian.
2:27:23You've been wonderful.
2:27:26Everybody loves you, you know that.
2:27:29It's a strange feeling being wanted for myself.
2:27:33I keep asking myself, "why me?"
2:27:38You call yourself thick as a plank and empty headed,
2:27:41but you've become an authority and not just on AIDS.
2:27:47I think it's time you gave yourself the same respect
2:27:50you give others.
2:27:55Adrian?
2:27:58I'd like to be there at the end.
2:28:01Will you promise me you'll ask for me?
2:28:05Oh, my dear.
2:28:07You have no idea how much that means to me.
2:28:10I've been asked to inform you, ma'am,
2:28:12that after a meeting at the highest level,
2:28:14it's been agreed that we should change your profile
2:28:16from AIDS to Family Planning.
2:28:19I don't think so.
2:28:20Oh, but surely, ma'am, you don't want to go down
2:28:22in history as the patron saint of sodomy?
2:28:26Alfred? Yes, ma'am.
2:28:27Go to hell!
2:28:29(horse whinnies)
2:28:36Thank you.
2:28:42I cannot believe that I'm happy
2:28:44to be back in a saddle again. (James chuckles)
2:28:47Got something for you.
2:28:49Oh, thank you, Diana.
2:28:51Thank you.
2:28:53Pleasure.
2:28:54(horse whinnies)
2:28:56(both laugh)
2:29:00Do you like it? Oh, it's lovely.
2:29:02Oh, thank you so much.
2:29:04I know, four months and two operations
2:29:06and still the bloody thing isn't right.
2:29:12It'll heal in time, Charles.
2:29:24Look at that.
2:29:26I'd rather be a farmer.
2:29:28There's something satisfactory about mucking out,
2:29:32mending stone walls, milking cows.
2:29:38I enjoy coming to know them by their udders.
2:29:41I do.
2:29:46(sighs)
2:29:51Sometimes I think I don't want to be King.
2:29:56(Camilla sighs)
2:29:58It's almost as if I dread the day.
2:30:02Think I'll leave the glory to Diana.
2:30:04Oh, I think that's a mistake, Charles.
2:30:06Do you?
2:30:08Why?
2:30:09Despite what people say,
2:30:10the people who know you best know that you're a good
2:30:13and loving father when you get the chance to be.
2:30:16And I think it's time somebody pointed out your virtues
2:30:19and also the contributions you make to public life,
2:30:22because you will make a very good King.
2:30:26If you want to be like me, Gilbey, you've got to suffer.
2:30:30Oh, squidgie.
2:30:31Oh, you have to.
2:30:33Then you get what you- Get what you want?
2:30:36No, get what you deserve, perhaps.
2:30:39I don't want to talk about that.
2:30:41What have you got on?
2:30:42Well, I've got the new jeans I bought yesterday.
2:30:45(chuckles) Good.
2:30:46Green socks.
2:30:48Pink and white shirt.
2:30:51Oh and I'm afraid I'll let you down with the shoes.
2:30:53Go on, then.
2:30:54The bone suedes. The ones you hate?
2:30:57I just don't like the fact
2:30:58it's so obvious where they come from.
2:31:00Well, I'll give you some money
2:31:00and you can go off and spend it for me.
2:31:03I'm a bit of connoisseur in that department.
2:31:05Decked out a few men in my time.
2:31:07Not many, I hope.
2:31:08Who have you decked out?
2:31:10James Hewitt. Entirely dressed him from head to foot.
2:31:13Cost me quite a bit, that man.
2:31:15Yeah, I bet it did.
2:31:17Very extravagant, darling.
2:31:19Well, I am, aren't I?
2:31:20Anything to make people happy.
2:31:23(birds tweet)
2:31:37"As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with seven wives.
2:31:41Each wife had seven sacks, each sack had seven cats.
2:31:46Each cat had seven kits.
2:31:48Kits, cats, sacks and wives.
2:31:51How many were there going to St Ives?"
2:31:53(knocks)
2:31:55Prince William? It's your father.
2:32:10"Dear William, we are having good weather
2:32:12for this time of year.
2:32:14I have been working in the garden."
2:32:17A lot over here, aren't there?
2:32:1912, 13, 14, 15, 16.
2:32:21Daddy's working in the garden.
2:32:23What a surprise.
2:32:26When are we going to see Daddy?
2:32:28He's invited us for next weekend.
2:32:35You know, Gilbey, I miss the old days.
2:32:37We did have fun.
2:32:38Yes.
2:32:40I'm actually rather proud of myself, Gilbey.
2:32:44That's why you must keep on seeing your doctor,
2:32:45because you are so much better.
2:32:48(sighs) It's just so difficult.
2:32:50So complicated.
2:32:52It makes my life real, real torture, I've decided.
2:32:55Tell me more, darling.
2:32:57How would you feel if every time you went
2:32:58to your husband's house, you were sick?
2:33:01Well, when you get these urges,
2:33:02you must try and replace it with anger.
2:33:04Remember what your doctor says.
2:33:06Just take it one day at a time.
2:33:08I think you're doing wonderfully.
2:33:12Yeah, I'll just go out and do my bit the way I know how,
2:33:15and I'll leave him behind.
2:33:17That's what I see happening.
2:33:19Well, I've got to kiss the kids.
2:33:22I love you, love you, love you.
2:33:24(Diana chuckles)
2:33:28(Diana sighs)
2:33:30Prince William was seriously injured today
2:33:32after being hit by a golf cart at his Berkshire prep school.
2:33:37He was rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital
2:33:39with a suspected fractured skull.
2:33:41It was just an accident, ma'am.
2:33:42I'm sure William is in safe hands at the hospital.
2:33:45Where's Charles?
2:33:46He's on his way down from Highgrove.
2:33:51Who loves you most, Will?
2:33:52You do, Mommy.
2:34:04Call me when you have word, will you?
2:34:05He's not out of surgery yet.
2:34:08Well there's no danger, we've been told that.
2:34:10Don't make more out of this than it is.
2:34:12He's your son, you have to support your children
2:34:15in the bad times as well as the good.
2:34:17He's in safe hands and I must keep to my schedule.
2:34:19There's an environmental studies conference in Yorkshire
2:34:22early tomorrow morning, Covent Garden tonight.
2:34:25(somber orchestral music)
2:35:05Ma'am, it was a serious blow to the head,
2:35:08but the operation went off without a hitch.
2:35:10Prince William's going to be fine.
2:35:12Thank heaven. You can see him shortly.
2:35:14Thank you very much.
2:35:17(sighs)
2:35:22(sighs)
2:35:26These vermin are having a field day.
2:35:30This bloody row is her fault.
2:35:31Not entirely, Charles.
2:35:32Despise her penchant for the grand gesture.
2:35:35Inflating the smallest thing into a crisis.
2:35:38Well, let's face it. You should never have left him.
2:35:42I, I... Yes, you're right.
2:35:44But she smothers him with affection.
2:35:46That's hardly the point.
2:35:47I'm treated like a divorced father.
2:35:50I have to ask her permission to see the children.
2:35:53Well, they're at Balmoral now.
2:35:54You have every opportunity to see them.
2:35:59Yes, well, I'd rather stay here.
2:36:08(tires screech)
2:36:11(laughter)
2:36:22(laughter)
2:36:28You've got a lot of nerve!
2:36:29Oh, come on, Anne. We're just having a bit of fun!
2:36:31Well, you know how Granny feels about her Daimler.
2:36:33No harm done.
2:36:34Really?
2:36:35You've done nothing but harm, both of you.
2:36:38Why can't you just learn how to behave?
2:36:41Unlike some people,
2:36:42I haven't been doing this for 40 years.
2:36:45How can you be so unkind?
2:36:53I am sorry to see you all so unhappy with one another.
2:36:58You have no idea what it's like to marry into this family.
2:37:02Sarah has had years to make the adjustment.
2:37:04Why is she still floundering?
2:37:06(sighs) With no help and constant criticism,
2:37:09one gets worn down.
2:37:10Sarah's at the end of her tether.
2:37:13Maybe the last time we ever see her at Balmoral,
2:37:14if you don't give her more leeway.
2:37:17There is no leeway for a Royal.
2:37:20Then you will lose her.
2:37:22We shall see.
2:37:33I want to get the rose, so I'll give you all the red ones.
2:37:37Thank you.
2:37:46Mr. Ward-Jackson has asked for you, ma'am.
2:37:50I can't get a flight, they won't arrange a plane.
2:37:52I'll need the car. Well, it is 600 miles.
2:37:54You really must speak with Her Majesty.
2:37:55Ask permission first.
2:37:56There's no time to argue with her now.
2:37:59(tense orchestral music)
2:38:32Adrian.
2:38:36Hung on till you got here.
2:38:39It's not so bad, you know.
2:38:40I'm going on a very great journey.
2:38:46Adrian, no.
2:38:50I want you to have it.
2:38:56I already have so much to thank you for.
2:38:59Knowing you has changed the way I look at life.
2:39:02And death.
2:39:10(telephone rings)
2:39:13Ma'am.
2:39:15It's a phone call. It's Her Majesty.
2:39:17Thank you.
2:39:24Diana? Yes.
2:39:26Your display of devotion to Mr. Ward-Jackson
2:39:29goes beyond the traditional call of duty in such matters.
2:39:32We must insist that you return promptly.
2:39:35This is not duty, ma'am.
2:39:37This is love.
2:39:40I've given him my word, I will not breach his trust.
2:39:45(melancholy orchestral music)
2:39:48The Lord is my shepherd.
2:39:51I shall not want.
2:39:54He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
2:39:58He leadeth me beside still waters.
2:40:02He restoreth my soul.
2:40:06He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
2:40:12Yea, though I walk through the valley
2:40:14of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
2:40:20For thou art with me.
2:40:40(audience applauds)
2:40:42Indeed, it is almost incredible that in Shakespeare's land
2:40:47one child in seven leaves primary school
2:40:49functionally illiterate.
2:40:51HIV does not make people dangerous to know.
2:40:55So you can shake their hand and give them a hug.
2:40:58Heaven knows they need it.
2:41:00(audience applauds)
2:41:03Diana made the front page, you are buried on-
2:41:07On page 23.
2:41:10Whatever possessed you to schedule
2:41:11both speeches on the same day?
2:41:13You've got a staff of 20. Don't they talk to each other?
2:41:16Well, it's all rather deliberate on her part.
2:41:19Well ,the damn tabloids have started calling her
2:41:21Mother Theresa with a tiara.
2:41:24Between her wardrobe and the children,
2:41:26it's difficult to compete.
2:41:27That's the trouble, Charles, you shouldn't be competing.
2:41:31You must arrange your diaries to be seen
2:41:33spending more time together.
2:41:35And you must spend more time with the children.
2:41:38But I always-
2:41:39I do not wish to see another photo of your son
2:41:42in the papers captioned, "where's my daddy?"
2:41:45They are well cared for, and happy.
2:41:48You keep missing the point.
2:41:50This isn't just about image.
2:41:52You must change the substance of your relationship.
2:41:55There is no substance to our relationship.
2:42:01I understand that you met Camilla
2:42:04when you were sketching in Italy.
2:42:06Yes, bumped into her.
2:42:09I understand you see quite a bit of each other.
2:42:15How can you be trusted to serve the nation
2:42:18if you cannot run your own life?
2:42:20If things do not change,
2:42:22then I will take matters into my own hands.
2:42:25I do not wish to go down in the history books
2:42:27as Elizabeth the Last.
2:42:37(guests laugh and applaud)
2:42:43Shall I make a wish?
2:42:46(guests chuckle)
2:42:48There we are.
2:42:50(guests applaud)
2:42:53I'm so glad you're back, James.
2:42:55I was so worried about you in the Gulf.
2:42:57I'm glad to do my part.
2:42:59You're so big, Harry!
2:43:01Uncle James, did you really drive a tank in the war?
2:43:05Yes, I did.
2:43:06But I thought you rode a horse?
2:43:09Well, a tank's a sort of metal horse.
2:43:11It's not.
2:43:12(Diana chuckles)
2:43:15He's a fine lad.
2:43:16He's very fond of you.
2:43:21Do you know how much I missed you while you were away?
2:43:24Thank you for all the letters.
2:43:29Happy birthday. Thank you.
2:43:32(chuckles)
2:43:34Well, my great-grandmother was the mistress
2:43:36of Charles' great -great grandfather.
2:43:38She's the one who said a Royal mistress
2:43:40should curtsy first then leap into bed.
2:43:42(guests laugh)
2:43:46Diana made a point of telling the press
2:43:47what a wretched husband I am.
2:43:49Not letting me have a proper birthday celebration.
2:43:52She set it up.
2:43:53She does have a way of making you look bad, Charles.
2:43:56Perhaps someone can have a word with the press.
2:43:58Let them know your side of the story.
2:44:01I suggest you get rid of her immediately,
2:44:03get a divorce and get on with your life.
2:44:05(Charles laughs)
2:44:12I feel the same obligation to you
2:44:15that I felt in 1952.
2:44:17With your prayers and your help
2:44:19and with the love and support of my family,
2:44:22I shall try to serve you in the years to come.
2:44:28Bloody hell!
2:44:30(glass shatters)
2:44:31May God bless you
2:44:32and bring you a happy Christmas.
2:44:35You ought to talk to your mother, you know.
2:44:36She's been asking for you. Oh, really?
2:44:39Do you know she never told me about her broadcast?
2:44:41A lot of this is your fault. Really?
2:44:43Have you given any thought as to how it looks
2:44:45when you allow your brothers to be councilors of state
2:44:47when your mother's away on business?
2:44:49I don't want to be a stand-in.
2:44:51Well, if you carry on showing such total indifference
2:44:53to your basic duties, why should she give you the job?
2:44:56Because I'm 43 years old
2:44:57and the laughing stock of England.
2:45:01Do you realize that we only see each other
2:45:02for holidays and state occasions?
2:45:04I don't know how much more of this I can take!
2:45:06The arguments, the silences, the distance!
2:45:10Well, that can't be helped.
2:45:11Unless you change your attitude towards me and the work
2:45:14that I do, I will have to reconsider my position.
2:45:16Do you really think that's some kind of threat, Diana?
2:45:18That you're going to walk out of here and never come back?
2:45:20No matter how you play the game,
2:45:22you will always have to deal with me.
2:45:24Well, yes, you've made that quite clear.
2:45:27Whatever happens between us, Charles,
2:45:29just remember one thing.
2:45:31I am the mother of the future King.
2:45:32It is my duty to prepare William
2:45:35to be the best king he can be.
2:45:37It's just a pity that no one did that for you.
2:45:40You don't understand, do you, Diana?
2:45:43The children don't belong to you.
2:45:47They belong to England.
2:45:57Well, you said you wanted to see me King in your lifetime.
2:46:00Yes, Charles, that's true.
2:46:02But not when your domestic situation is so unsteady.
2:46:05We cannot afford a scandal, Charles.
2:46:08The risk to the Monarchy is too great.
2:46:10Both in terms of controversy and public unhappiness.
2:46:15I and my mother before me have spent a lifetime
2:46:19rebuilding the prestige of the House of Windsor.
2:46:23I will not see that ruined.
2:46:25There's not going to be a scandal.
2:46:28But the situation's become intolerable.
2:46:31I just thought that we might consider our options.
2:46:35You're not to consider divorce.
2:46:39Why?
2:46:40Do you know that we are not like other people, Charles?
2:46:44We rule only by the sufferance of public opinion!
2:46:47Besides, it's unlikely that the church
2:46:49would sanction a divorce.
2:46:51And even if it did, how could you one day take our place
2:46:55as head of the church?
2:46:57It would not tolerate a divorced monarch.
2:47:05So, we are to tell them tomorrow.
2:47:07Are you sure?
2:47:09Is there absolutely no other way?
2:47:11I'm so very tired of people saying to me, "no, you can't.
2:47:14No, you can't, No, you can't."
2:47:16I can't stand it anymore.
2:47:18And I'm not going to forfeit my children's childhood
2:47:21for the sake of Royal engagements.
2:47:25I've made rather a mess of it, I'm afraid.
2:47:28At times I've been a bloody fool.
2:47:31I can't bear the thought of divorce.
2:47:33I want to spare Wills and Harry
2:47:34what I went through as a child.
2:47:36We both know what that's like,
2:47:38but I have to leave, I have to get out of the system.
2:47:42You should get out, too.
2:47:44(Diana chuckles)
2:47:47I may not have a single supporter in this family,
2:47:50but they're not going to break me.
2:47:52I'm not going anywhere.
2:47:55I wonder what it's like to be an out-of-work Princess.
2:48:00(Diana chuckles)
2:48:06Margaret divorced, Anne divorced.
2:48:10And now Andrew and Sarah.
2:48:11Well, she was never suited to Royal life.
2:48:14She's been a disaster since she married him.
2:48:16Oh, I rather liked her once.
2:48:19She made us laugh.
2:48:22My god, what if they all leave?
2:48:25(birds tweet)
2:48:30I'm so glad you're feeling better.
2:48:32Better now that you're with me.
2:48:34Why don't I cancel my trip?
2:48:36And disappoint the children?
2:48:38Not a chance. I'll be fine.
2:48:41You've always been a wonderful daughter.
2:48:44You brought up Harry and Wills to love me.
2:48:48And for some reason, they do.
2:48:50We all do, Daddy.
2:48:53I understand Charles is spending
2:48:55more time with the children.
2:48:58He's very selfish with his own time.
2:49:00The children have to fit into what he's doing.
2:49:04(sighs) He doesn't really consider their needs.
2:49:07It's a reflection of the way he was brought up.
2:49:09History repeating itself.
2:49:12What is it, dear?
2:49:17My life is not what I thought it would be.
2:49:19Our marriage not what I'd hoped.
2:49:25(sighs)
2:49:28I've been making some decisions about what life should be
2:49:31for me and the children.
2:49:33I want them brought up differently.
2:49:36I want my children to have a better family life
2:49:38than their father had.
2:49:40I believe children need the love
2:49:41and support of both of their parents.
2:49:44Not just shipped off to some boarding school
2:49:46for discipline and cold showers.
2:49:49But surely you don't want to change the Monarchy?
2:49:54Perhaps I do.
2:49:59(Charles laughs)
2:50:01(yelps)
2:50:06Yes! Sorry, I overshot the mark.
2:50:10Excuse me, sir.
2:50:12Can I have a word?
2:50:13Yes? It's about, um...
2:50:15So I can protect you.
2:50:17You can't, Wills, you've got to be King.
2:50:19Daddy's going to be King.
2:50:22That's right and a very good King he'll be, too.
2:50:25Ma'am?
2:50:26(Diana screams)
2:50:30Ma'am?
2:50:31It's the palace. Oh, right, thank you.
2:50:40Hello?
2:50:43Yes?
2:50:45(dark orchestral music)
2:50:48When?
2:50:53Thank you.
2:51:03That was the palace.
2:51:06Daddy's dead.
2:51:09It was his heart.
2:51:12I should never have left him.
2:51:17He was doing so well when you last saw him.
2:51:21Improving.
2:51:24Come here, children.
2:51:28Come here, sweetie.
2:51:33Your grandfather died earlier today.
2:51:36His heart stopped.
2:51:38Did it hurt him? No.
2:51:41No, I think it happened very fast.
2:51:44I'm sorry, Mommy.
2:51:46Thank you, Wills.
2:51:49Me too.
2:51:57On you go, babies. Come on, chaps.
2:52:00Let's go outside.
2:52:18I want to go home tonight.
2:52:20You can stay with the children.
2:52:22No, we shall have to wait until tomorrow.
2:52:24Then I will go back with you.
2:52:25The children can remain behind with their nanny.
2:52:27It's a little late, don't you think,
2:52:29to start acting like the caring husband?
2:52:31You shouldn't be alone at a time like this.
2:52:34Why not?
2:52:35I'm alone most of the time.
2:52:37Anyway, I have no intention of becoming
2:52:39part of a palace public relations scheme.
2:52:43That is not my intention, Diana.
2:52:46Then what is?
2:52:48Consolation for the woman you love?
2:52:50The Prince must accompany you, ma'am.
2:52:52Think how it would seem, otherwise.
2:52:55It's my father who has died and it's him that I care about
2:52:58and I will not be put on display for the sake of the firm!
2:53:01And I don't care what some reporter from the tabloids
2:53:03is going to write because I will not be used!
2:53:05Oh, really?
2:53:06Then why are your closest friends
2:53:07airing their opinions in public?
2:53:10Yes, well, I think it would be better
2:53:11if the Queen were to be consulted.
2:53:13Let her arbitrate in this matter.
2:53:15Oh, yes, right.
2:53:16Run to Mommy.
2:53:21(solemn organ music)
2:53:58(car door closes)
2:54:06Are you sure?
2:54:08Yes, it appears that Morton's book and its photographs
2:54:11have the authority of some of Diana's friends and family.
2:54:15This tiresome situation is causing trouble to us all.
2:54:19Our first priority, sir,
2:54:21must be to preserve your reputation.
2:54:23To stress your accomplishments, schedule more engagements.
2:54:27We need to rally the support of your friends.
2:54:29Which indeed I have.
2:54:31Well, apparently it wasn't enough.
2:54:33You must do more.
2:54:34We need to brief the journalists.
2:54:36Attempt to shift their attitudes.
2:54:39If there is anything to this bulimia business, we need
2:54:41to remind them how erratic it can make one's behavior.
2:54:49Your inaction, sir, will be construed
2:54:52as confirmation of the book.
2:54:54Alfred's right, Charles, and Diana is extremely popular.
2:54:59She's always won the public's sympathy.
2:55:01Perhaps the public should be lead to believe that there's
2:55:03more than meets the eye in her friendships with, uh,
2:55:07with this Gilbey and Hewitt.
2:55:12I want you to do nothing.
2:55:22Let me have a word with Diana.
2:55:28I've never spoken to Andrew Morton.
2:55:29I don't know what I'm supposed to do about all this.
2:55:40Well, it's published now.
2:55:43There's no way I can answer his allegations.
2:55:48We've caused each other so much unhappiness.
2:55:50Well, it's the children I worry about.
2:55:58(sighs)
2:55:59Neither one of us should have to go on
2:56:00living under this kind of pressure, Diana.
2:56:03I know, it hasn't worked out
2:56:05and we don't seem to be able to make it work out.
2:56:09Why don't we just spare ourselves and our children
2:56:11further embarrassment?
2:56:17Perhaps it is for the best.
2:56:21If we had separate lives-
2:56:22We already have separate lives.
2:56:27I only see you when we're both at the same event.
2:56:32Then we should go our separate ways?
2:56:35Mm.
2:56:39(chuckles) Mother has told me that the church
2:56:42will not tolerate a divorced monarch.
2:56:45I know.
2:56:48Diana.
2:56:51If we do this,
2:56:53will you be happy?
2:56:57My children make me happy.
2:56:59My work makes me happy.
2:57:02I shall try and arrange a meeting with my mother.
2:57:05Good.
2:57:06We'll go in together.
2:57:09I cannot agree to a separation in any form.
2:57:13It's our marriage, our decision.
2:57:16It's what we want.
2:57:18But it's not just your marriage.
2:57:20You are the Royal Highness.
2:57:21The Prince and Princess of Wales.
2:57:24After Andrew and Anne, people are disappointed with us.
2:57:27The family is in trouble.
2:57:30Do you realize that I am having private discussions
2:57:32with the Prime Minister about paying income tax?
2:57:40I want you to be King, Charles.
2:57:44And I want William to succeed him.
2:57:47That wretched Morton book. All those insinuations.
2:57:51That is beside the point.
2:57:53We both think a divorce is for the best.
2:57:57But have you both considered
2:57:58the consequences of a separation?
2:58:02I really believe that as head of the church,
2:58:06there could be pressure on me from the government,
2:58:08and the commonwealth
2:58:10to discuss the succession to the throne.
2:58:13Indeed, they could even suggest
2:58:16that William take your place.
2:58:23Are you willing to give up everything?
2:58:44I thought I was.
2:58:47Are you willing to lose custody of your children?
2:58:53No.
2:59:01Well, in that case, I'd like an agreement,
2:59:04whereby Charles and I only see each other
2:59:06when the children are likely to be present.
2:59:12I must insist that you make joint appearances
2:59:15as and when necessary.
2:59:17And I intend to continue with my charity work.
2:59:19Including AIDS, I suppose?
2:59:21Especially AIDS.
2:59:23I believe in the work that I do.
2:59:26And I will not let ribbon-cutting
2:59:27get in the way of helping people.
2:59:29Well, for heaven's sake, both of you
2:59:30keep a low profile socially.
2:59:34It is vital that this work.
2:59:40The future of the monarchy is in your hands.
2:59:46Yes, Mother.
2:59:57I want this to work, Charles.
3:00:01When I turn off my light at night,
3:00:04I'd like to know that I've done my best.
3:00:21(dramatic orchestral music)
