00:00:49 'After weeks of campaigning
00:00:52 'Tony Blair and his family
00:00:55 'strolled to the polling station
00:00:57 'this election day morning.
00:00:59 'The Labour faithful feel pride
00:01:02 'in Mr Blair's achievements
00:01:05 'as he is about to become
00:01:08 the youngest PM this century.'
00:01:10 - Have you voted yet, Mr Crawford?
00:01:13 I was there when they opened.
00:01:18 I don't mind telling you,
00:01:24 - You're not a moderniser?
00:01:27 We're in danger of losing too much
00:01:31 (Man) 'There is a growing sense
00:01:36 I envy you, being able to vote.
00:01:41 although it would be nice
00:01:46 ...but the sheer joy of being partial.
00:01:49 Yes. Of course, one forgets that as
00:01:55 - No.
00:02:00 You might not be allowed to vote,
00:02:03 (Chuckles)
00:02:06 ...but it is your government.
00:02:09 Yes.
00:02:11 I suppose that is some consolation.
00:02:14 (Chuckles)
00:02:45 (Slow march on bagpipes)
00:03:08 (Soft knocking)
00:03:15 Good morning.
00:03:18 - Shall I draw the curtains?
00:03:23 So, did you stay up all night?
00:03:25 Yes, ma'am.
00:03:26 And was it as expected?
00:03:30 Yes, ma'am. Mr Blair.
00:03:33 By a landslide.
00:03:38 Oh, I see.
00:03:41 (Man) 'They've stopped the traffic
00:03:44 'for Tony Blair's first day of power
00:03:48 'You've got the ceremonial,
00:03:51 'and you've got a lovely summer's day.
00:03:53 'Tony Blair waving to the crowds,
00:03:57 'I guess they know it's
00:04:01 (Soft knocking)
00:04:06 The Prime Minister is on his way,
00:04:09 To be, Robin. The Prime Minister to be.
00:04:12 I haven't asked him yet.
00:04:16 He's a hard one to read, isn't he?
00:04:18 Yes. On the one hand,
00:04:22 father a Conservative,
00:04:25 He had the same tutor
00:04:28 We'll try not to hold that against him.
00:04:31 On the other, his manifesto promises
00:04:33 the most radical shake-up
00:04:38 - Think he'll try to modernise us?
00:04:42 His wife has
00:04:45 You may remember her curtsy
00:04:48 It could best be described as shallow.
00:04:52 (Chuckles) I don't measure
00:04:56 I leave that to my sister.
00:04:58 Downing Street
00:05:01 everyone on first-name terms,
00:05:05 - What, "Call me Tony"?
00:05:07 Oh, I don't like that.
00:05:21 - Funny, I'm actually rather nervous.
00:05:26 I know, but never one to one,
00:05:31 Well, remember, you're a man
00:05:37 But she's still, you know, the Queen.
00:05:47 The audience room is upstairs.
00:05:52 When we reach the audience room,
00:05:55 We shall go straight inside.
00:05:58 Standing by the door, we bow,
00:06:01 I will introduce you.
00:06:04 You go to her, bow again,
00:06:10 A couple of other things -
00:06:12 it's ma'am as in ham,
00:06:15 not ma'am as in farm.
00:06:18 When you're in the presence,
00:06:22 - The presence?
00:06:25 That's what it's called
00:06:33 Would you like to sit there, Mrs Blair?
00:06:49 (lndistinct murmuring)
00:06:51 How nice to see you again, Mr Blair.
00:06:54 - And congratulations.
00:06:57 - Your children must be proud.
00:07:00 - You've three, haven't you?
00:07:03 Such a blessing, children.
00:07:06 Thank you.
00:07:17 Have we shown you
00:07:21 - Er... no.
00:07:25 Then we take away your passport
00:07:29 You obviously know my job
00:07:32 Yes, well, you are
00:07:36 My first was Winston Churchill.
00:07:38 He sat in your chair
00:07:42 He was kind enough to give a young girl
00:07:46 I can imagine.
00:07:48 With time, one has hopefully added
00:07:53 better enabling us to execute
00:07:57 to advise, guide and warn
00:08:02 Advice which I...
00:08:06 Yes. We'll save that
00:08:11 If there's nothing else, I believe
00:08:16 Of course.
00:08:19 Your Majesty,
00:08:23 and so I ask your permission
00:08:25 No, Mr Blair. I ask the question.
00:08:30 The duty falls upon me, as sovereign,
00:08:33 to invite you to become Prime Minister
00:08:40 And if you agree,
00:08:45 Yes.
00:08:53 (Bell jingles)
00:09:07 Mrs Blair, lovely to see you again.
00:09:11 And congratulations.
00:09:14 - Yes.
00:09:17 - Where will you spend the summer?
00:09:20 - Lovely.
00:09:22 Yes. Wonderful place.
00:09:25 My great, great grandmother,
00:09:27 "In Balmoral, all seems to breathe
00:09:30 "and make one forget the world
00:09:33 - Your Majesty...
00:09:38 - (Whispering)
00:09:41 (lndistinct whispering)
00:09:43 Oh. Yes, of course.
00:09:46 I'm so sorry.
00:10:02 Not too short, was it, 15 minutes?
00:10:04 - One doesn't want to be rude.
00:10:10 Morning.
00:10:12 - "Thanks for coming. Now, fuck off."
00:10:16 God knows.
00:10:20 (Woman) 'Princess Diana
00:10:23 'as she pulls out of a meeting
00:10:26 Princess Diana moved to mend relations
00:10:30 Princess Diana attended
00:10:34 for the fashion designer
00:10:36 (Man) '... where another
00:10:40 ...was embroiled
00:10:44 I am not a political figure.
00:10:46 Princess Diana sailed
00:10:50 in one of Mr Mohamed Al Fayed's
00:10:53 - With his son.
00:10:56 for photographs which appear
00:11:01 Once again,

00:11:35 Earlier today, they visited the...

00:13:01 Robin Janvrin.
00:13:06 What?
00:13:14 (lndistinct chatter)
00:13:23 Tell Sir Guy I want everyone in ASAP.
00:13:33 (Knocking)
00:13:36 Ma'am? Ma'am?
00:13:41 - Yes?
00:13:45 What?
00:13:48 Oh.
00:13:57 Good evening ma'am.
00:13:59 I'm sorry to disturb, but I've just had
00:14:04 - It's the Princess of Wales.
00:14:09 I see. Er...
00:14:14 Right, well, keep me updated.
00:14:20 It's Diana.
00:14:24 Is it serious?
00:14:26 Apparently Dodi Fayed is dead.
00:14:29 'Let's recap on the details
00:14:33 'They're saying the Princess is in
00:14:37 'of a southeast Paris hospital.
00:14:39 - 'She has concussion, a broken arm... '
00:14:43 - I thought she was in London.
00:14:49 Charles, isn't this awful?
00:14:54 - What will you do about the boys?
00:14:58 - Yes, that's sensible.
00:15:01 I told my people to organise a jet.
00:15:05 - What, a private one?
00:15:07 Isn't that the sort of extravagance
00:15:11 (Charles) How else can I get to Paris
00:15:14 Charles, dear, use the royal flight.
00:15:18 They keep one plane
00:15:22 in case I should kick the bucket.
00:15:24 No, Mummy, he can't.
00:15:27 What are you talking about?
00:15:29 Diana is not one of the royal family.
00:15:33 - It's a private matter.
00:15:36 What is happening now?
00:15:39 I don't know. I can't hear.
00:15:49 - Thanks for coming in.
00:15:55 Good evening, sir.
00:16:08 (Knocking)
00:16:10 Yes?
00:16:15 I've just spoken
00:16:19 I'm afraid it's not good news.
00:16:21 No!
00:16:25 No...
00:16:28 No. No. No.
00:16:33 No.
00:16:38 Diana, Princess of Wales, has died
00:16:42 The French government announced
00:16:46 - What have I got on this week?
00:16:51 Well, let's cancel everything else.
00:16:55 This is going to be massive.
00:16:58 (TV) 'Her death was confirmed
00:17:00 - I'll make a statement in the morning.
00:17:06 - She's only been dead an hour.
00:17:26 (Charles whispers)
00:17:30 It's Mummy. She's dead.
00:17:40 They're going to go back to sleep.
00:17:44 Try, anyway.
00:17:56 My private secretary's office have
00:18:01 that will sell me a flight to Paris
00:18:09 Perhaps you might consider
00:18:12 to bring back the mother of the future
00:18:18 All right. Of course.
00:18:28 (Door shuts)
00:18:34 John, I don't want the boys
00:18:38 Take the radio from the bedroom
00:18:42 Yes, ma'am.
00:18:51 - Well, well, well.
00:18:55 Are you all right?
00:18:58 (Sighs)
00:18:59 Your sister called, from Tuscany.
00:19:03 I hope you told her
00:19:06 - I did.
00:19:09 - That's putting it mildly.
00:19:13 Something about Diana being more
00:19:17 Never let the boys hear you talk
00:19:20 Of course.
00:19:25 Something to help you go down?
00:19:28 No, I think I'll write my diary
00:19:33 Fine. I'm going to bed.
00:19:38 (Door shuts)
00:20:07 (Man) 'We've heard nothing official
00:20:11 'We don't know when we'll get
00:20:14 'or when the royal family are due.'
00:20:16 That's how she will remain,
00:20:23 - OK? Got it.
00:20:27 - At the church, on the way in.
00:20:31 (TV) 'Viscount Althorp, Diana's brother... '
00:20:34 Hang on. I want to watch this.
00:20:38 (Althorp) 'This is not a time
00:20:42 'However, I would say I always believed
00:20:47 'Not even I imagined they would take
00:20:51 'as seems to be the case.
00:20:54 'Lt would appear that every proprietor
00:20:58 'that paid for intrusive photographs
00:21:03 Not the press, mate.
00:21:07 Tony...
00:21:09 - Oh. Got to go.
00:21:12 - Yeah.
00:21:15 Now, now.
00:21:19 Thanks.
00:21:28 - Hello?
00:21:31 Oh... Right, OK.
00:21:36 - Is the Prince of Wales with the boys?
00:21:38 - Good. And he's going to Paris?
00:21:47 I'm sorry to disturb, ma'am...
00:21:50 ...but I have the Prime Minister
00:21:54 Lucky you.
00:21:58 Thank you, Robin.
00:22:11 - (Tony) 'Your Majesty.'
00:22:13 May I say how very sorry I am.
00:22:17 The thoughts and prayers of my family
00:22:21 and with the princes in particular.
00:22:23 Thank you.
00:22:26 (Tony) 'ls it your intention to make
00:22:31 No. No, certainly not.
00:22:35 No-one in the royal family will speak
00:22:40 We would appreciate it
00:22:43 I see.
00:22:48 I don't suppose
00:22:51 We've spoken with the Spencer family,
00:22:56 that this should be a private funeral
00:23:00 Right.
00:23:02 As Diana was no longer
00:23:05 we must respect their wishes.
00:23:08 I see.
00:23:10 'You don't feel that in view
00:23:17 it might be an idea to pay tribute
00:23:22 or even just to her as a mother?
00:23:25 Well, as I said,
00:23:28 And the public, ma'am,
00:23:32 'You don't think
00:23:36 A chance to what?
00:23:39 (Tony) 'To share in the grief? '
00:23:43 This is a family funeral, Mr Blair,
00:23:47 I think the Princess has already paid
00:23:51 for exposure to the press, don't you?
00:23:54 If there's nothing else,
00:23:58 - Of course. Goodbye, Your Maj...
00:24:11 Her instinct is to do nothing,
00:24:14 say nothing,
00:24:17 Are you surprised? She hated her guts.
00:24:21 I think it's a mistake.
00:24:23 They screwed up her life.
00:24:26 Where can I get a black tie?
00:24:30 Oh, the chaplain called.
00:24:32 He asked if he should make
00:24:35 any special mention of Diana.
00:24:38 What did you say?
00:24:40 - I told him not to change a thing.
00:24:43 The less attention drawn to it,
00:24:47 Yes.
00:24:49 We should find some company
00:24:52 I'll take them for a long walk
00:24:56 Yes, but no guns, Philip. It is Sunday.
00:25:01 We're going, I believe, to Sedgefield,
00:25:08 where he is about to make a statement.
00:25:11 'Yes, the Prime Minister coming now
00:25:16 Yeah, well, apart from that?
00:25:18 He's on. Alastair, he's on! Come on!
00:25:22 'Though her own life
00:25:29 'she touched the lives of so many others'
00:25:32 in Britain and throughout the world...
00:25:38 ...with joy and with comfort.
00:25:43 'The people everywhere,
00:25:48 'they kept faith with Princess Diana.
00:25:52 'They liked her. They loved her.
00:25:55 'They regarded her as one of the people.
00:26:00 'She was the people's princess...
00:26:08 '... and that's how she will... stay,
00:26:11 'how she will remain...
00:26:13 '... in our hearts
00:26:18 A bit over the top, don't you think?
00:26:22 (TV) 'The Prime Minister, paying
00:26:26 The people of Britain, he said,
00:26:32 They loved her.
00:26:44 - Do we have the Royal Standard?
00:26:47 - And flowers?
00:26:49 If we left it to the royal undertakers,
00:27:28 (lnaudible)
00:27:44 - (Phone rings)
00:27:47 (Man) 'This is Lord Airlie.
00:27:50 One moment, please.
00:27:53 The Lord Chamberlain
00:27:55 You're meeting him at the airport.
00:27:58 - Lord Airlie.
00:28:01 It's my job to organise
00:28:05 There's no precedent
00:28:09 Perhaps we should plan
00:28:12 I propose a meeting tomorrow morning
00:28:15 'officials from all three palaces,
00:28:21 the emergency services
00:28:24 Absolutely. Of course.
00:28:28 (Phone beeps)
00:28:31 Precedent?
00:28:40 Thank you.
00:28:47 Brigadier Sir Charles Wood.
00:28:51 Air Commodore Wessex.
00:28:58 - Prime Minister.
00:29:02 If there's anything
00:29:04 They stood up as we drove past,
00:29:09 removed their hats.
00:29:12 This was Paris,
00:29:15 - I imagine it will be the same here.
00:29:19 - What are your feelings on that?
00:29:26 I think that'll present us
00:29:30 So do I.
00:29:32 My mother... The Queen comes
00:29:38 She grew up in the war.
00:29:40 I think what we need,
00:29:43 is a more modern perspective,
00:29:46 - Balmoral is...
00:29:50 (Marching feet)
00:29:56 (Man) 'An aircraft of the Queen's Flight
00:30:00 'where the Prime Minister gathered
00:30:04 'A black hearse crossed the Tarmac
00:30:07 'and a Royal Air Force guard of honour
00:30:11 Has anyone heard from the Spencers?
00:30:16 Hmm? I don't know.
00:30:20 (Man) 'President Clinton
00:30:24 'We liked her very much.
00:30:25 'We admired her work for children,
00:30:30 'for ending the scourge
00:30:33 On our walk today, one of the gillies
00:30:39 - He reckoned 14 points.
00:30:42 We haven't had one
00:30:47 No. Quite.
00:30:50 '... and I was tremendously impressed... '
00:30:54 Anyway, I thought
00:30:58 - For the boys.
00:31:02 - You don't think it's too soon?
00:31:08 (Man) '... as their relationship
00:31:11 'she became increasingly unhappy.
00:31:14 'The couple divorced
00:31:18 (Crowds cheering on TV)
00:31:21 (Man) 'Their love story
00:31:24 'They came to see the Queen
00:31:27 'but most of all,
00:31:31 - I'm going to bed.
00:31:54 I'll ring the Lord Chamberlain's office
00:31:56 to say we'll send representatives
00:32:00 Thank you, Stephen.
00:32:14 She gave us so much.
00:32:16 Why couldn't we have given her
00:32:22 It just... hurts me so much.
00:32:25 I've never experienced
00:32:28 I wait to wake up,
00:32:43 (Gavel bangs)
00:32:45 Right, it's ten o'clock.
00:32:48 Thank you all for coming
00:32:52 I think we all agree that this is
00:32:55 which presents us
00:32:58 logistically, constitutionally,
00:33:04 diplomatically and procedurally.
00:33:08 (Whispers) Oh, Christ.
00:33:16 After 18 years of opposition,
00:33:20 as the new Prime Minister...
00:33:22 Labour Prime Minister.
00:33:24 I want to set an ambitious course
00:33:28 to breathe new life
00:33:31 to make privilege
00:33:35 You think the royals are nutters?
00:33:39 Two and a half hours to choose
00:33:43 You got raves in the press. This calls
00:33:48 This lot says you correctly judged
00:33:51 - Hello?
00:33:56 People's princess, mate. You owe me.
00:34:02 - Gordon for you.
00:34:04 Alastair...
00:34:07 - Is it going to be a public funeral?
00:34:11 - It's a whopper. The Abbey, the works.
00:34:14 - Has anyone told the Queen?
00:34:18 No doubt some flunky will be
00:34:31 Do you think it's wise
00:34:34 (Queen Mother) Anything
00:34:37 Maybe they shouldn't take guns.
00:34:40 If a photographer saw them,
00:34:43 If there is a photographer out there,
00:34:52 I see Mr Fayed was buried last night.
00:34:56 At midnight. No cameras, no fuss.
00:35:01 Very dignified.
00:35:03 Why do they do that? Why do they bury
00:35:07 Islamic tradition.
00:35:10 - Something to do with the heat.
00:35:13 It stops the body decomposing.
00:35:16 - (Knocking)
00:35:20 Good morning, ma'am. Ma'am.
00:35:23 Yes, Robin? What can we do for you?
00:35:25 Er... ma'am, there was a meeting
00:35:30 About the funeral arrangements. Yes.
00:35:33 The Lord Chamberlain faxed these plans
00:35:40 There is now general agreement, ma'am,
00:35:42 that a public funeral
00:35:51 I see.
00:35:54 And what form will this funeral take?
00:35:58 At the moment, they're suggesting...
00:36:01 and, of course, these are early days,
00:36:04 basing it on Tay Bridge.
00:36:07 - Tay Bridge?
00:36:10 Tay Bridge is the code name
00:36:13 Indeed, ma'am,
00:36:15 but it would be
00:36:19 It's the only one
00:36:23 the only one
00:36:27 But I supervised those plans myself.
00:36:31 Indeed, and the Lord Chamberlain
00:36:34 that the spirit of the occasion
00:36:38 For example, the suggestion is
00:36:42 400 representatives of the Princess's
00:36:50 And, instead of foreign heads of state
00:36:55 the guests would include a sprinkling
00:37:00 fashion designers
00:37:05 Celebrities?
00:37:09 Oh.
00:37:14 Er... was there anything else?
00:37:18 No, ma'am.
00:37:22 Oh, yes, one other thing.
00:37:24 The police commissioner was keen
00:37:28 the idea of a condolence book.
00:37:31 It would give the growing crowds
00:37:35 make marshalling them easier.
00:37:37 Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:37:40 - Oh, and the flowers.
00:37:45 The flowers outside Buckingham Palace.
00:37:47 They're blocking the main gate,
00:37:50 and making things difficult
00:37:53 Fine. Just move them away.
00:37:57 The Lord Chamberlain was wondering
00:38:01 and send the guards
00:38:05 Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
00:38:07 Yes, quite right.
00:38:15 (Knocking)
00:38:18 Stephen Lamport on One.
00:38:20 - Who?
00:38:23 - Balmoral.
00:38:28 It's all right.
00:38:31 - Good morning.
00:38:35 The Prince of Wales has asked me
00:38:39 Not at all.
00:38:40 The Prince feels that you and he
00:38:47 of similar mind,
00:38:49 who could work well together
00:38:53 Er... well, please thank His Highness,
00:38:56 and assure him
00:39:01 ...at all times.
00:39:05 - Was that it?
00:39:09 Goodbye.
00:39:17 Bizarre.
00:39:20 - Why is Charles doing this?
00:39:23 Creeping up to me like this,
00:39:27 He did it at the airport.
00:39:30 He knows that if the Queen
00:39:33 the royals will become
00:39:36 - He's terrified of being shot.
00:39:39 His people have asked
00:39:42 He thinks if he's seen
00:39:45 that will leave the Queen
00:39:48 So it's OK for his mother
00:39:52 What a family!
00:39:56 - Wait. Where are they?
00:40:04 - I'll come with you.
00:40:06 - Do you want me to drive?
00:40:13 (Engine starts)
00:40:15 - I thought you were getting a new one?
00:40:25 I was thinking
00:40:28 had it been me that died
00:40:31 She would have taken the boys
00:40:35 What, and expose them to the media?
00:40:38 That would have been dreadful.
00:40:41 It's private. They're protected.
00:40:44 Whatever you thought of Diana,
00:40:47 She adored those boys,
00:40:51 Always warm, physical,
00:40:55 Especially if a photographer
00:40:59 She may have encouraged all that,
00:41:02 that was the extraordinary thing
00:41:05 her weaknesses and transgressions
00:41:10 Yet ours only make them hate us.
00:41:13 - Not us, dear.
00:41:18 Yesterday,
00:41:22 there was a noise, a bang,
00:41:25 I thought
00:41:30 I think I'm going to walk back.
00:41:33 - I don't feel like stalking.
00:41:36 I'll take the dogs.
00:41:38 Walkies? Yes!
00:41:52 (Dogs bark)
00:41:59 Who knows the way home? Come on.
00:42:49 (Man) 'Do you think
00:42:54 No, I don't. No.
00:42:56 Why do you think that?
00:43:00 I'd like to be a queen
00:43:04 'but I don't see myself
00:43:09 'I don't think many people
00:43:12 'By many people, I mean
00:43:16 'because they've decided
00:43:23 Charles and I had a talk
00:43:28 He was good enough
00:43:32 - What did he say?
00:43:36 That's changing his tune.
00:43:38 He thought her natural.
00:43:42 (Diana) 'They see me as a threat
00:43:46 Oh, for God's sake!
00:43:49 Maybe he's got a point.
00:43:54 Oh, I can't watch this.
00:43:57 No, no. Wait. Please, no, leave it.
00:44:00 (Diana) 'I don't go by a rule book.
00:44:05 'and it's got me into trouble
00:44:08 We encouraged the match.
00:44:10 We signed off on it, both of us.
00:44:13 You were very enthusiastic, remember?
00:44:16 She was a nice girl. Then.
00:44:20 And I was sure
00:44:23 or at least make sure
00:44:26 - Isn't that what everyone does?
00:44:30 (Man) 'Was Mrs Parker Bowles a factor
00:44:34 'There were three of us in this
00:44:41 I can't bear it. If you're watching,
00:44:46 - Early start tomorrow.
00:44:49 No. But close,
00:44:53 One of the boys even got a shot off.
00:44:57 We'll get him tomorrow.
00:45:01 See you in the morning.
00:45:04 Not to worry. Night-night.
00:45:10 (Man) '... and with her obsession
00:45:13 'that Charles loved a woman he'd fallen
00:45:19 # Heaven
00:45:22 # Must be missing an angel
00:45:26 # Missing an angel, child
00:45:28 # Cos you're here with me right now... #
00:45:34 The good news is the palace
00:45:38 - And the bad news?
00:45:40 - What about them?
00:45:44 There aren't enough barriers,
00:45:46 so we've gone cap in hand
00:45:50 There's something else
00:45:53 Can we run that piece again?
00:45:55 - (Woman) Of course.
00:45:57 - '... find their behaviour disgraceful.'
00:46:02 'I think it's disgusting that they've
00:46:06 - Look, I know all this.
00:46:09 (Woman) '... not to have a flag up. I think
00:46:13 'OK, the Queen's not in residence,
00:46:17 'Do you see what I'm saying
00:46:21 Don't tell me there isn't a flag
00:46:25 'Dodi, when them two were together,
00:46:30 Will someone please save these people
00:46:34 - Fine, I'll call Balmoral.
00:46:37 I've really got nothing better to do.
00:46:40 Come on, dogs. Come on.
00:46:51 Those fire lighters all right?
00:46:56 Oh, well,
00:47:00 - It's lamb. We can have that cold.
00:47:04 Stay.
00:47:08 Robin had a call from the Prime
00:47:13 - About what?
00:47:19 He thinks it should be flying
00:47:22 I hope Robin said there isn't a flag
00:47:26 There's the Royal Standard, which flies
00:47:31 Since you're here, the flagpole is bare,
00:47:35 Isn't it possible that for some people,
00:47:43 and the flagpole being bare
00:47:47 - No, that's not the point.
00:47:52 It's never been lowered for anyone.
00:47:54 Your grandfather didn't get
00:47:59 and if your mother died tomorrow,
00:48:02 Yes, Granny, but in a situation
00:48:08 It is just a flag.
00:48:10 "What about the Union Jack?"
00:48:14 For heaven's sake!
00:48:15 Next, he'll suggest you
00:48:18 Who does the think he's talking to?
00:48:23 You don't get dictated to. You conceded
00:48:28 You've opened the parks.
00:48:30 Ssh. The boys.
00:48:33 You wait. In 48 hours,
00:48:37 (Dogs bark)
00:49:10 In one sense, it's comforting.
00:49:13 Now, my parents can see
00:49:16 being up against her popularity.
00:49:19 They're still making the mistake
00:49:24 will eventually be the one
00:49:28 The two Dianas, the public's and ours,
00:49:36 The flag of St George,
00:49:40 - Yes, sir.
00:49:43 I'll get onto it,
00:49:46 What about a statement of gratitude
00:49:50 Something heartfelt
00:49:54 thanking people for the flowers
00:49:57 Right.
00:49:58 'Di was wonderful, because
00:50:03 'She said, "You're elitist people
00:50:08 "'and you have to get out
00:50:11 'We have a wonderful Prime Minister,
00:50:14 'a compassionate young man, who, after
00:50:20 'is such a breath of fresh air,
00:50:22 'and I feel he will do something... '
00:50:25 - (Cherie) Is this the stirrings of...
00:50:28 I don't know.
00:50:32 Maybe people will see them
00:50:35 Which is?
00:50:37 A bunch of freeloading,
00:50:44 - That's just absurd.
00:50:46 They live in a cocoon of wealth
00:50:50 - Yes, they do.
00:50:55 If you want a serious conversation
00:00:02 About ways in which we could phase out
00:00:06 - If you're leaving, take the plates.
00:00:11 - Why?
00:00:14 'The Queen cannot be expected
00:00:17 It's unimaginable,
00:00:21 - Certainly in her lifetime.
00:00:23 Because no-one would wear it.
00:00:28 It's just... daft.
00:00:32 - It's not a mother thing, is it?
00:00:36 Well, if she were alive now,
00:00:42 You always say how stoical she was -
00:00:45 old-fashioned, uncomplaining,
00:00:48 - Who does that sound like?
00:01:09 That's the stalking party off.
00:01:12 Right, we'd better have a look
00:01:17 "Show us there's a heart in the house
00:01:21 "It's proof the royals
00:01:25 "Time to change the old guard
00:01:31 "One can't help wondering
00:01:34 "for it's clearly the wrong advice."
00:01:38 I'll try not to take that personally.
00:01:41 People have yearned for change
00:01:45 The result is a quiet revolution
00:01:48 led by the real modernisers,
00:01:51 Revolution? Who wrote this?
00:01:55 - Where does this come from?
00:01:58 - You've won a huge majority.
00:02:04 Why? What did you think it meant?
00:02:10 Hurry, dear. Your tea's getting cold.
00:02:13 - Is that it?
00:02:15 Just the letter of condolence to the
00:02:21 Thank you.
00:02:25 Tea.
00:02:29 (Whispers) Mr Janvrin, the Prime
00:02:37 Ma'am,
00:02:40 apparently the Prime Minister
00:02:43 Tell him to call back.
00:02:47 No, no. It's all right. I'll take it.
00:02:58 - Prime Minister.
00:03:01 Sorry to disturb, but I was wondering
00:03:07 We've managed to look
00:03:10 (Tony) 'ln which case, my next question
00:03:16 'some kind of response
00:03:18 'might be necessary? '
00:03:22 No. I believe a few over-eager editors
00:03:25 are doing their best
00:03:28 It would be a mistake
00:03:30 (Tony) 'Under normal circumstances,
00:03:34 'but...
00:03:40 taking the temperature
00:03:44 and... well, the information I'm getting
00:03:48 'is quite delicate.'
00:03:54 So, what would you suggest,
00:03:57 - Some kind of a statement?
00:04:01 I believe
00:04:07 'I would suggest flying the flag
00:04:13 ...and coming down to London
00:04:20 'Lt would be of great comfort
00:04:24 And would help them with their grief.
00:04:28 "Their grief"?
00:04:31 If you imagine
00:04:35 before I attend to my grandchildren,
00:04:39 then you're mistaken.
00:04:43 I doubt there is anyone who knows
00:04:47 nor who has greater faith
00:04:51 And it is my belief that they will,
00:04:57 which is being stirred up by the press
00:05:01 in favour
00:05:04 and sober, private mourning.
00:05:08 That's the way we do things
00:05:11 quietly, with dignity.
00:05:16 It's what the rest of the world
00:05:19 If that's your decision, ma'am,
00:05:25 - Let's keep in touch.
00:05:35 Bloody fool!
00:05:37 And now your tea's gone cold.
00:05:42 (Knocking)
00:05:44 Tony, Robin Janvrin on One.
00:05:54 Robin?
00:05:56 I understand how difficult
00:06:02 but try and see it
00:06:04 She's been brought up
00:06:08 'She is who she is.'
00:06:10 I think we should leave God out of it.
00:06:15 She hasn't seen anything like this
00:06:18 and I cannot emphasise
00:06:22 Unexpectedly becoming king
00:06:26 'I'm afraid she's in a state of shock.
00:06:29 'This public reaction
00:06:32 All right, but first, we have to deal
00:06:39 - I'll do what I can with the press.
00:06:44 I can't promise anything.
00:06:47 It's not me they want to see.
00:07:14 Ask Alastair to come and see me.
00:07:21 Cancel what I'm doing tonight.
00:07:28 - Good morning.
00:07:30 Thomas, where have they gone?
00:07:33 - Up to Abergannie Ridge, ma'am.
00:07:37 - Remind me, that's right at the fork?
00:07:40 You follow the track for about a mile,
00:07:44 The river.
00:07:47 - One of the lads will drive you.
00:08:50 (Grinding metal)
00:08:55 Bugger it!
00:08:57 (Sighs)
00:09:21 Oh, how stupid!
00:09:43 (Phone rings)
00:09:46 - (Queen) 'Hello, Thomas.'
00:09:48 I've done something foolish.
00:09:52 - Are you sure, ma'am.
00:09:55 It's the front one.
00:09:59 Don't forget,
00:10:02 - Are you all right?
00:10:05 - We'll come out straight away.
00:10:08 I'll wait by the car. You are kind.
00:10:52 (Sobs)
00:11:27 Oh, you're a beauty.
00:11:43 (Distant gunshot)
00:11:47 Shoo! Shoo! Go on!
00:11:51 Go on.
00:11:54 Go on!
00:11:57 (Dog barks)
00:12:13 (Chuckles)
00:12:29 (Door opens)
00:12:32 There are news crews outside waiting
00:12:36 - Yes.
00:12:39 I told the Queen's private secretary
00:12:44 Why? Don't you think she deserves it,
00:12:50 Yes, but allowing her to hang herself
00:12:56 Besides, I think there's something ugly
00:13:00 about the way
00:13:24 The first thing that you obviously
00:13:28 is the rest of your family, and I...
00:13:30 When's she coming to London, Mr Blair?
00:13:32 - (Woman) 'She's our figurehead.'
00:13:36 'She wanted me to pass on
00:13:40 (Man) 'ln a spare moment, the Prime
00:13:45 - How are the boys?
00:13:48 A lot of slamming doors.
00:13:50 - I think they saw the papers.
00:13:53 I'll take them out
00:13:57 Perhaps they'll take it out
00:14:02 'What do you think
00:14:05 'They've made a mistake.'
00:14:07 - Pardon?
00:14:10 - (Woman) 'Why? What do you mean? '
00:14:14 'The family should have come down
00:14:19 'all of them.
00:14:21 'That girl's been left on her own.
00:14:24 'She's on her own
00:14:26 Oh, please!
00:14:29 Sleeping in the streets
00:14:33 For someone they never knew?
00:14:37 - Have you seen the funeral guest list?
00:14:41 I suggest you keep it that way.
00:14:43 A chorus line of soap stars
00:14:47 Apparently,
00:14:51 That'll be a first
00:14:54 Condolence books are being signed
00:14:59 and in London alone,
00:15:03 It reminds me of one of those films -
00:15:06 a few of us in a fort,
00:15:12 So, it's vital you hold firm.
00:15:16 You wait.
00:15:20 They have to.
00:15:22 Come on, move over, Cabbage.
00:15:36 (Woman) 'lt's six o'clock
00:15:39 'on Thursday 4th September.'
00:15:41 'As people start camping out on the route
00:15:46 'people are asking why the Queen
00:15:51 'This is what the newspapers
00:15:53 "'Where is our Queen?
00:16:03 The Express, "Show us you care."
00:16:07 The Mail,
00:16:11 and inside, "The Queen should be here
00:16:15 But the flip side is "Blair more
00:16:20 Did they pick up
00:16:23 Just the one.
00:16:28 Statements of support don't sell papers.
00:16:33 Right.
00:16:38 Ma'am! Ma'am!
00:16:42 The Prime minister for you, ma'am.
00:16:46 I'm afraid he's rather insisting.
00:16:50 I'll take it in the kitchen.
00:16:57 (Dogs bark)
00:16:59 Good morning. Sorry to disturb you.
00:17:01 I'm expecting a phone call
00:17:05 (Phone rings)
00:17:07 (Queen) Oh, there it is.
00:17:12 Thank you, Peter.
00:17:19 - Good morning, Prime Minister.
00:17:23 You've seen today's headlines?
00:17:25 Yes, I have.
00:17:27 Then I'm sure you'll agree
00:17:29 the situation has become
00:17:36 'Ma'am? '
00:17:38 A poll that's to be published
00:17:41 suggests that 70% of people
00:17:44 believe your actions
00:17:48 ...and that one in four are now in favour
00:17:57 As your Prime Minister,
00:18:00 I believe
00:18:04 to advise the following...
00:18:20 Is Queen Elizabeth up yet?
00:18:29 Mummy?
00:18:31 One, fly the flag at half mast
00:18:36 and all other royal residences.
00:18:40 Two, leave Balmoral and fly to London
00:18:46 Three, pay our respects in person
00:18:53 And four, make a statement, via live
00:19:01 Swift prosecution of these matters
00:19:05 just might, avert disaster.
00:19:09 You will have to talk
00:19:12 I have, and to Robert Fellowes.
00:19:17 - Oh, I see.
00:19:20 There's been a change,
00:19:27 When you no longer understand your
00:19:31 Oh, don't be ridiculous.
00:19:34 Remember the vow you took?
00:19:39 I declare that my whole life,
00:19:42 shall be devoted to your service.
00:19:46 Your whole life. That is a commitment
00:19:51 What if my actions
00:19:54 Damaging it? You're the greatest asset
00:20:00 one of the greatest it has ever had.
00:20:03 No. The problem will come
00:20:08 but you mustn't think about that now,
00:20:11 Oh, Mummy.
00:20:13 You must show your strength,
00:20:20 You sit
00:20:23 head of an unbroken line that goes back
00:20:28 Do you think any of your predecessors
00:20:32 and gone to London because
00:20:37 needed help with their grief?
00:20:42 As for that silly Mr Blair,
00:21:03 Mr Janvrin on the phone for you, sir.
00:21:07 Yes?
00:21:09 (Yells) What?
00:21:11 I can't hear!
00:21:14 Well, that's madness!
00:21:16 The whole thing. Bloody madness!
00:21:24 I've just been told
00:21:27 you've decided we're to follow
00:21:33 I just want to say I...
00:21:36 admire...
00:21:40 I think it's the right decision.
00:21:44 Let's hope we haven't left it too late.
00:21:52 (Door shuts)
00:22:24 (Camera shutters click)
00:22:30 (Man) 'These are historic shots
00:22:33 'The Queen has had a change of heart.
00:22:36 'She's clearly responding to the need
00:22:38 'to feel that the royal family is
00:22:41 'These flowers have been brought
00:22:45 'so she can see some token
00:22:50 (Cherie) Fish fingers. Do you want any?
00:22:58 Thank God for that!
00:23:00 I'm afraid they're a bit burnt.
00:23:18 (Engine backfires)
00:23:23 (Man) 'From CNN International,
00:23:25 'with Ralitsa Vassileva
00:23:28 Queen Elizabeth will deliver
00:23:32 The royal family has been accused
00:23:35 over the Princess's death.
00:23:59 - Where are the boys? Have they left?
00:24:03 They left for London
00:24:07 It's not right, you know.
00:24:09 No, but further discussion
00:24:12 (Sighs) Oh, well.
00:24:15 It gives the gillies time
00:24:19 now theirs has been shot.
00:24:21 - What?
00:24:24 He wandered over
00:24:26 where one of the commercial guests
00:24:30 Oh.
00:24:33 Really?
00:24:36 Which estate?
00:24:56 Here's your box. There's some
00:25:00 - Have you seen the papers?
00:25:03 - Of course I've seen them.
00:25:06 "Your Majesty, come to London."
00:25:12 Mr Father of the Nation.
00:25:31 Ma'am? Good morning, ma'am.
00:25:34 - Good morning.
00:25:37 No, please don't disturb him. I came on
00:26:05 (Man) There he is.
00:26:08 He's a beauty, isn't he?
00:26:11 An imperial, ma'am.
00:26:15 Fourteen-pointer.
00:26:26 - He was wounded.
00:26:29 We got our guests in very close,
00:26:35 ...and still...
00:26:37 An investment banker, ma'am,
00:26:41 I'm afraid the stalkers had to follow
00:26:48 Let's hope he didn't suffer too much.
00:27:00 Pass my congratulations to your guest.
00:27:02 I will, ma'am.
00:27:11 - God bless you, ma'am.
00:27:47 - Ma'am...
00:27:50 I've done a draft
00:27:53 Thank you.
00:28:00 Was there anything else?
00:28:02 No, ma'am.
00:28:04 Landing in 15 minutes.
00:28:18 I've got the Queen's speech.
00:28:21 - Shall I give Tony a copy?
00:28:24 He's next door.
00:28:31 (Man) '... and the anger,
00:28:35 'perhaps was that people grieving
00:28:40 'and royal protocol
00:28:43 'but royal protocol
00:28:55 (Woman) Come back, Diana!
00:28:59 (Man) '... very serious,
00:29:02 'Her Majesty and the Duke.
00:29:05 'Normally, it is a happy occasion
00:29:08 'and normally,
00:29:11 'on days like Trooping the Colour,
00:29:15 'This is a tragic occasion.'
00:29:17 (Woman) 'The Queen is getting out
00:29:21 (Man) 'lt's very unusual.
00:29:24 'I think, perhaps the last time
00:29:29 'outside the palace was the day
00:29:33 (Woman) 'lt's really as if the public
00:29:37 'have had a bit of a quarrel and now
00:29:43 (Man) 'Like a family spat, not unlike
00:29:49 'Jenny is quite right to say that whatever
00:29:55 'between the Queen and the Princess... '
00:29:57 They sent a copy of the Queen's
00:30:00 You might want
00:30:04 (Man) 'I think the queen was generous
00:30:07 'that her oldest son wasn't
00:30:11 I sent some suggestions to make it
00:30:15 Yeah, all right, Alastair.
00:30:19 At least the old bat agreed
00:30:22 When you get it wrong,
00:30:25 That woman has given her whole life
00:30:30 50 years doing a job she never wanted,
00:30:35 She's executed it with honour, dignity,
00:30:40 and now,
00:30:42 She's leading the world in mourning
00:30:45 for someone who threw all she offered
00:30:48 and who, for years, seemed committed
00:30:50 to destroying
00:30:54 (Silence)
00:31:58 Hello. Would you like me
00:32:02 - No.
00:32:06 These are for you.
00:32:10 For me?
00:32:15 Thank you.
00:32:18 Thank you very much.
00:32:47 Ma'am, there's been a last-minute
00:32:52 They're suggesting adding,
00:32:57 Right.
00:33:03 "So, what I say to you now,
00:33:08 "I say from my heart."
00:33:10 Do you think you can say it?
00:33:13 - Do I have a choice?
00:33:19 - Just to confirm, this is live.
00:33:22 You'll be at the front of the six o'clock
00:33:25 Yes.
00:34:07 Thank you.
00:34:10 - OK, nice and quiet.
00:34:16 (Man) 'We cross, now, live,
00:34:20 'for the Queen's tribute
00:34:29 Since last Sunday's dreadful news,
00:34:31 we have seen, throughout Britain
00:34:35 an overwhelming expression of sadness
00:34:39 We have all been trying,
00:34:44 It is not easy
00:34:48 'since the initial shock
00:34:52 'disbelief, incomprehension, anger
00:34:59 'We have all felt those emotions
00:35:03 so what I say to you now,
00:35:09 I say from my heart.
00:35:11 Heart? What heart?
00:35:16 That's not the point.
00:35:20 (Queen) 'ln good times and bad... '
00:35:22 - That's how to survive.
00:35:25 A week ago,
00:35:28 making speeches
00:35:32 - Now you've gone weak at the knees.
00:35:35 (Queen) '... and for her devotion
00:35:38 I don't know why I'm so surprised.
00:35:41 At the end of the day, all Labour prime
00:35:45 What?
00:35:47 (Queen) 'Millions who never met her,
00:35:54 'I, for one, believe there are lessons
00:35:58 'and from the extraordinary
00:36:03 'I share in your determination
00:36:08 I hope that, tomorrow, we can all,
00:36:12 join in expressing our grief
00:36:15 and gratitude
00:36:19 May those who died rest in peace,
00:36:22 and may we, each and every one of us,
00:36:25 thank God for someone
00:36:38 (Man) 'Diana's coffin, now on the move
00:36:41 'the short distance
00:36:44 'to her home at Kensington Palace
00:36:50 'Lt's incredible. Less than a week.
00:36:53 'Who could have imagined

00:38:10 (Althorp) Diana was the very essence
00:38:15 of style, of beauty,
00:38:17 a very British girl,
00:38:22 someone with a natural nobility,
00:38:26 and who proved
00:38:30 to continue to generate
00:38:38 I would like to end by thanking God
00:38:41 for the mercies he's shown us
00:38:44 for taking Diana
00:38:47 and when she had joy in her life.
00:38:50 Above all,
00:38:54 I'm so proud
00:38:57 the unique, the complex,
00:38:59 the extraordinary
00:39:03 whose beauty,
00:39:06 will never be extinguished
00:39:12 (Applause)
00:39:52 (Bell tolls)
00:40:04 So, off to see your girlfriend?
00:40:06 Now, now...
00:40:10 I hope she shows you
00:40:13 It's quite a debt of gratitude
00:40:17 Mr Saviour of the Monarchy.
00:40:20 I doubt she'll see it that way.
00:40:27 - Robin.
00:40:29 Tony, please.
00:40:41 The Prime Minister, Your Majesty.
00:40:52 Do sit down.
00:40:55 Thank you.
00:41:08 It's good to see you again,
00:41:10 after what's been... quite a summer.
00:41:14 I'm referring to your visit
00:41:18 where your comments on ending historic
00:41:24 At the Commonwealth
00:41:27 I spoke to the prime minister of Malawi.
00:41:29 He said how much he appreciated
00:41:34 I meant to tell you at the time,
00:41:37 ...you were being monopolised rather.
00:41:42 I imagine those occasions
00:41:45 24 heads of government, each
00:41:55 Also, we haven't had a chance to speak
00:42:03 - I wanted to offer my apologies.
00:42:06 In case you felt manhandled
00:42:10 No, not at all.
00:42:18 I don't think I shall ever understand
00:42:22 Well, the circumstances
00:42:27 ...and in the end, you showed
00:42:33 - You mistake humility for humiliation.
00:42:37 You didn't read the cards
00:42:41 I think history will show
00:42:45 And an even better one for you,
00:42:47 But there are 52 weeks
00:42:51 and two and a half thousand
00:42:58 When people assess your legacy,
00:43:03 Oh, really?
00:43:05 You don't think that what affection
00:43:10 for this institution
00:43:14 No. Not at all.
00:43:19 I gather some of your advisors
00:43:25 One or two,
00:43:27 but, as a leader, I could never add
00:43:31 You saw the headlines and thought,
00:43:37 And it will, Mr Blair, quite suddenly,
00:43:44 So, shall we get on
00:43:49 Oh, look...
00:43:52 Oh, I do love this time of day.
00:43:57 The clocks go back next week.
00:44:00 - I do hope you're a walker.
00:44:03 Good. I think meetings have
00:44:07 if the Prime Minister is a walker.
00:44:10 It's how I think best, on my feet.
00:44:14 A good walk in fresh air
00:44:23 One in four, you said,
00:44:26 For about half an hour,
00:44:32 and all that went away.
00:44:35 I've never been hated like that before.
00:44:38 It must have been difficult.
00:44:40 Yes. Very.
00:44:49 Nowadays, people want glamour
00:44:53 I'm not very good at that.
00:44:56 I prefer to keep my feelings to myself,
00:45:00 and, foolishly, I believed that was
00:45:04 not to make a fuss,
00:45:07 Duty first, self second.
00:45:12 That's how I was brought up.
00:45:15 That's all I've ever known.
00:45:17 You were so young
00:45:26 Yes.
00:45:29 Yes, a girl.
00:45:37 But I can see
00:45:40 and one must... modernise.
00:45:46 Well, perhaps that's where I can help.
00:45:50 Don't get ahead of yourself,
00:45:52 I'm the one
00:45:59 Come, dogs!
00:46:09 Tell me, Mr Blair, what might we expect
00:46:13 Er... well, ma'am,
00:46:19 We want to reduce classroom sizes.
00:46:22 Yes.
00:46:24 And create a lower teacher-pupil ratio.
