A professional.

A purpose! Dignity.

A risk worth taking,

A royal ruckus has started over the man who had an audience with Queen Elizabeth,

A scene that will be quite literally flashed around the globe.

A seed of respect and admiration,

A seed that grew into a flower they could eventually call love.

About her faith.

About how public it was.

About Mark.

About the difficulties you're experiencing.

About the job she's doing,

About the Waleses' marriage.

About what?

About which I've been ostriching, rather.

About?

About…

Absolute silence, everywhere.

Absolutely not. I'm the senior party here.

Absolutely. She's really down to earth. That's why I love her.

Accessible.

Accompanied by a full commander brigade

According to his mother, he spoke of a girlfriend called Elizabeth

According to the latest polls.

Achievements and setbacks,

Actually, I do quite enjoy cleaning.

Actually, I do.

Adjust the sight to 100 yards.

Admiral, will you please join me in the flat upstairs

Affairs of the heart needing to be conventional,

After 11 and a half wonderful years.

After a selection process that involved half of Britain,

After all that, did she at least accept?

After all those little confidential lunches,

After heavy snowfall…

After I converted, I found a faith.

After the romance of courtship.

After years of incompetence and mismanagement.

Afterwards, the hunter hobbles into town…

Against apartheid in South Africa…

Against members of the public.

Against whom I am now always compared.

Ah ah! No congratulations till you've read it.

Ah, Hazel. Strange, I think, to name a child after a tree.

Ah, now that's where we differ.

Ah, yes.

Ah, yes. The Sunday Times.

Ah!

Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah. Here we are. Burke's.

Ah…

Ahead of a statement from the home secretary.

Ahead of her regular audience with the prime minister.

All alone in the house."

All anyone wants is for the pair of you to pull yourselves together,

All doors firmly shut.

All dry.

All I want is to play for the team.

All members of a certain class, you'll notice.

All mothers worry about their boys.

All of us.

All one can think of is Dickie.

All our thoughts.

All right, if you insist.

All right, then. Why don't I go and sleep in the other room?

All right?

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Edward's not lost.

All right. Get this to the Prince of Wales as soon as possible.

All right. She works part time at a kindergarten.

All safely tucked away in a trust. Don't worry.

All that remains for the performers

All the characters have such wonderful names.

All the furs and diamonds on parade.

All the hoopla came as a bit of a shock.

All the time.

All these things have a way of correcting themselves.

All together.

Almost, yes, but I was clever enough to get away with it.

Along with raves in all the newspapers for Diana's beauty.

Along with the coverage of His Royal Highness's near escape,

Along with the other things we thought we could depend on growing up.

Although I gather you still found time to see… certain other people.

Although I must say, I do like the boat.

Although I wish it had been frosty. It's far too hot here.

Although one of the guests, Mrs. Palmer Tomkinson,

Although there is none of my father's subjects,

Although this latest one is quite something.

Although we are both outsiders who married in,

Always a mistake to assume just because people are privileged,

Always the model of cordiality, productivity, and mutual respect.

Always.

Am I destined to be mad, too?

Am I that stupid?

Am I? Must have cut myself.

Ambushes me like that.

An alderman shopkeeper's daughter

An elaborate system of electronic alarms,

An even grander thing.

An icy, dark,

An investigation into this unprecedented failure

An Olympian who's spent much of the past year on her backside.

An RAF Vulcan and accompanying support plane

And "wasted energy due to needless digestion."

And "What did they talk about?"

And a Battenberg refusal to give in.

And a clear, though insufficient, majority in the first ballot

And a dangerous game, I think, to make enemies left, right, and center.

And a disgrace.

And a fool.

And a glass bottomed aeroplane involved in the search for Mark.

And a glass of squash?

And a kitchen garden and a sundial garden. Do you fish?

And a male body has been found?

And a meeting recently with Commander Trestrail.

And a more powerful influence for good in the world

And a nation waits.

And a strange looking duck.

And a wife.

And accept the imperfect reality of being human.

And accused her of risking the nation's future.

And after a tough negotiation

And after all these years…

And although Camilla doubtless has feelings for you, deep feelings,

And although we might expect a reprieve of a few days, given the circumstances,

And among the signals she agreed to

And amphibious crew.

And another said was an act of treachery.

And appropriate.

And are prepared to pay huge amounts of money,

And arms like this.

And as a child of the sovereign's…

And as for Andrew…

And as husband and wife,

And as it happens,

And as Margaret Thatcher left it after so long,

And as sovereign, I must ask you…

And asked Sir Sonny to join us today

And at one point, was there even a Borgia?

And at this moment,

And attention, and praise.

And Australia gets to be free…

And Australia's future king,

And Bagpuss will please think for me.

And because he has found… happiness as elusive as me,

And because the Falkland Islanders are British subjects

And board your ship immediately. Go on.

And build a new life.

And by the time William's had children, and his children have had children…

And calling them "family"!

And can you blame me?

And caring.

And Charles tried bodysurfing on Bondi Beach.

And charm. And, most of all, her motherhood.

And chose you

And compassion for those less fortunate than us…

And congratulate me.

And considering all that, they've done remarkably well.

And could therefore be manned with a detachment of Royal Marines

And cover ourselves in glory on the front pages?

And Dazzle has found the thing that works best for him.

And declares the feel good factor is back again.

And demotions in the junior ranks.

And Diana was still quite young then.

And dinner's too important, it had to be lunch.

And do much more than keep me safe.

And do you suppose that might have had consequences?

And eased gently into the calm waters of Portsmouth Harbour.

And eats or doesn't eat or whatever it is she does or doesn't do.

And enough abstentions to damage her seriously.

And entered the Queen's bedroom, not once but twice.

And entered the royal quarters through a window.

And every fortnight, you ask me the same question.

And everyone's asking after you.

And everything will be all right.

And eyes.

And fly in the face of everything we stand for.

And follows an impressionable, nubile 17 year old girl, Koo.

And for the deaths of the 18 British servicemen

And for the first time,

And for the record, ma'am, I must say I think that would be a misjudgment.

And gently squeeze the trigger.

And God bless all of you

And God bless all of you who are willing to share in it."

And God forbid an irregular temperament…

And gratitude for what?

And green.

And has long military associations.

And have grown up like me

And have learnt so much from them.

And he buys a much bigger gun and goes back into the woods.

And he chose you.

And he has working relationships with all of the editors,

And he just hates me.

And he loved her till the end.

And he never eats garlic.

And he seems to have taken it rather the wrong way.

And he tried with your grandmother.

And he's a raging snob.

And hear her passionate 'No, no, no'

And hello, him.

And her attitude to Europe.

And here comes Prince Charles, swooping from his position at the back.

And here I speak with some experience,

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

And his death represents a legitimate blow against an enemy target.

And his duty to his family that drove him to succeed.

And how much she values the close relationship between the two houses.

And how's William getting along?

And I don't think you have the faintest idea

And I don't want people's pity or charity or compassion.

And I give you my word,

And I have discovered a taste for enforcing it.

And I just wonder whether it will be sufficiently in code

And I say we will not survive not going to war.

And I should have kicked them out when I had the chance.

And I think in that, I am succeeding.

And I think it would be better if we… don't see one another again.

And I think it's a mistake to assume they don't.

And I think that people out there can sense that I've suffered,

And I think we're now going to have to give them something.

And I very much doubt it.

And I want my objection noted.

And I want to say to you…

And I wanted to offer my sympathy.

And I wanted to say…

And I was surrounded

And I were able to escape this…

And I will always be in the center.

And I will struggle on in mine.

And I will work you hard because you cannot be allowed to fail.

And I'd never tell.

And I'd want your assurance

And I'm busy anyway.

And I'm listening.

And I'm starting to feel mad.

And I'm struggling to find

And I'm sure no one here would wish to see the Princess of Wales overstretched.

And I'm sure, on occasion,

And I've been put through to about nine different extensions.

And identifying which members of the royal family you must curtsy to,

And if he…

And if he's forced to because of some engagement,

And if I may say,

And if I want to separate?

And if I've been cold or distant with you,

And if she doesn't bend, what then?

And if the polls are to be believed,

And if they show cracks…

And if you hurt her…

And in light of these rumors, Scotland Yard has recommended his transfer

And in response, large numbers of Argentine forces threw down their arms.

And in the end, I think…

And in the fear of God.

And in this country, a president and a head of state cannot coexist.

And in through a window to the Master of the Household's office.

And increased exercise.

And influential members of the Commonwealth.

And into the Sahara Desert.

And ironing. God, does that make me tragic?

And is in recognition of exceptionally meritorious service.

And is now favored by the Queen to meet foreign heads of state.

And is very much looking forward to the trip.

And is willing to give up her life for you.

And isn't that how the Crown survives

And it grieves me to say that you are not working hard enough

And it isn't long before he sees the bear again.

And it might be nice to find one to rival him.

And it turns out that in the seven years I have been prime minister,

And it was a pretty imaginative affair. Everyone joined in,

And it's a crowd that's getting bigger and bigger by the minute

And it's astonishing to me that,

And it's changed.

And it's cruel.

And it's easier to just let the current take you away.

And it's entirely in keeping with the ruthlessness

And it's left me with no option but to… start seeing someone.

And it's over.

And it's unlikely I'd know her from her oeuvre.

And lack of grit,

And land on your bed.

And left bloodstains on the Queen's bed.

And listened as he rehearsed and delivered them.

And look after this country's interests

And make excuses for the atrocities committed by the IRA.

And make no attempt to hide it.

And misrepresent. Then everybody gets into a fluster.

And Mr. Thatcher are expected to arrive at around 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.

And Mummy, well, you know her.

And my favorite, Mark…

And need cheering up.

And never will.

And New Zealand in 1954.

And nobody can deny…

And not just her, but the gardens and the polo and the hunts,

And not just the concept or the décor or the people,

And now all this increased security.

And now he can hear you, too.

And now this.

And now to have the opportunity to finish the job

And now, instead of being separated for six weeks,

And of course of those of the servicemen killed at Warrenpoint today.

And of loyalty to what I perceive to be the true interests of the nation,

And on our actual honeymoon, you wore the cuff links that she gave you,

And on the saluting base,

And on the same honeymoon, a photograph of her falls out of your diary.

And one country remains against.

And one day, dear boy, you shall be king.

And one,

And only then,

And our neighbors are greedy enough to take it.

And our sons and brothers, husbands and fathers

And out of that work, a tiny seed grew.

And overlooked the many things we do have in common.

And Pages of the Back Stairs.

And pandemonium broke loose.

And pay more attention to the well being of the mother of my future child.

And places like this are all about what you wear and when.

And plunged down into the waxing viridescence

And point, point, point, and point.

And productive working relationship with the prime minister.

And remove the Argentine flag.

And right on time, the royal car pulls up to a crowd of well wishers.

And rioting and civil unrest in several major cities.

And risk doing serious and irreparable harm

And Rosemary.

And sadly, Mr. Speaker, I have to agree.

And saw them all off…

And say that she ought to consider her future.

And she had a shop.

And she spends that money on an unnecessary war

And she the crepuscular,

And she's all over all the front pages, and everyone's falling over in shock

And should that fail?

And showing your support to a cause that is so…

And since Fred says that breakfast was too delicious to give up,

And sir, you're sitting on the left…

And so far seem to lack the wit to avoid getting stung. This story…

And so I think of her as my boss.

And so too was the public's reaction.

And some are for sale.

And some return for what we do for the country.

And someone needs to explain things to you.

And South Africa.

And stand on our own two feet.

And stays relevant? By changing with the times.

And suddenly, it all seemed so childish.

And support of her prime minister is an article of faith to her.

And talk on the telephone.

And Tessalit in northern Mali.

And that chair, no one sits in that chair.

And that if the opportunity were to present itself…

And that is a God given talent. Am I right?

And that is an act of service to the Crown and to the country,

And that is through a revitalized economy,

And that means to cut public spending.

And that my government has done irretrievable damage

And that relations between the two women are in danger of completely breaking down.

And that the home secretary's reference to "security not being satisfactory"

And that the window on the second floor had been left unsecured.

And that would go against…

And that would mean us training together, being on the circuit together.

And that… your feelings for me were perhaps not as deep as I'd imagined.

And that's precisely how bad habits start.

And that's why it's so important…

And the bear says…

And the boring old philosophers and father substitutes

And the children are adults now, you know?

And the closeness that has developed between us.

And the constant questions about my marriage all the time,

And the defence secretary I want them in my office by this time tomorrow.

And the destruction of the Guyanese vase.

And the distress that might cause her.

And the editor in this case assured him that the sources were unimpeachable.

And the gloom we talked about so many times…

And the Honorable Mrs. Shand Kydd.

And the initial reports of a possible 1,000 casualties

And the Metropolitan Police,

And the minute Harry was born and duty was done,

And the moment I did

And the money could be spent on the victims?

And the next.

And the one fatality… was Hugh Lindsay.

And the possibility that Charles might've…

And the Prince of Wales is in fact, um…

And the Princess of Wales and young Prince William.

And the prospect of our first ever woman prime minister.

And the proud holder of the world record for beer drinking.

And the recapture of the Falkland Islands is within reach.

And the rules you must abide by.

And the service of our great imperial family

And the service of our great imperial family

And the talk is that this Falklands thing isn't going to go away.

And the two of you…

And the waiter comes to the table and attempts to memorize the order

And the whole place goes nuts.

And the…

And their ideas,

And their… terrible problems.

And then came straight down to the palace afterwards

And then I didn't.

And then she issued this warning, "Let every nation know

And then stepped off

And then the next one higher, then the next one higher, and then the…

And then up to…

And then we're going to visit Ayers Dock.

And then you begin to wonder,

And then, more softly,

And there are families.

And thereby shortened the naval war considerably.

And therefore is not, by any, to be enterprised,

And they have bound us all together and brought great joy.

And they hope there will be some reaction in her favor. It's down to Conservative…

And they know who your sister is.

And they left the Crown stronger,

And they started to find comfort in the arms of others.

And they still pay their taxes to the state.

And they'd like you, as palace press secretary, to comment.

And this Sunday Times article has lit a touch paper

And this will all be fine.

And Timothy Knatchbull are in hospital

And to be…

And to collect this.

And to find a way to heal divisions in the interests of peace and goodwill.

And to have it taken from me…

And to make up for my failings.

And to one day, not too far away, being the fucking Queen.

And to that end, with our seventh anniversary coming up…

And treated our time in the desert as a holiday.

And trust all will be well.

And turn towards the barre…

And twice she beckoned me with her outstretched dactyl…

And two and three and four

And two bedrooms.

And two missile carrying corvettes.

And want the same.

And wants me to fail.

And was rejected after the personnel department assessed her

And we all know how the Queen is…

And we are all heartily sick of it.

And we are still unable to cut the apron strings

And we don't count number 10 Downing Street

And we never cross that line, ever.

And we release the lock…

And we will not look back.

And we'll see you at Christmas.

And what did you say?

And what do you expect me to do about that? Say no?

And what I think too?

And what I want to say to you is… just because you had

And what my family did was unforgivable.

And what was it about her that made the biggest impression on you?

And whatever issues you may or may not be facing,

And whatever language they speak.

And when she bends, she will fit.

And when the sovereign sails in it, historically it's called a yacht.

And while he may be a troubled soul,

And while I greatly admire your sense of fairness

And whilst it's been a great personal victory for Prince Charles,

And whilst we could continue to deny it,

And why is that?

And will follow the rules?

And wouldn't know fun if it bit her on the backside.

And yet all she has to do is put on a frock,

And yet here I was the diurnal,

And yet more rundown.

And yet she's so weak and fragile.

And you are the Princess of Wales.

And you do realize this is supposed to be a bank holiday?

And you favor Mark.

And you have landed illegally.

And you hurt her.

And you know me. I'm far too much of a softy.

And you like that one because…

And you look gorgeous too.

And you on me.

And you present.

And you risk turning not only the country against us

And you want me to get on my knees to them?

And you will therefore…

And you would get the house in order. Now, almost three years on,

And you, Nerissa.

And you…

And your career as a show jumper is your own business too,

And your continual denial is making you lot look like fools.

And your enormously privileged positions in life work.

And your husband is retired. Is that right?

And your reading at the Abbey,

And your young, beautiful wife, struggling with pregnancy,

And, "How lucky you are to be engaged to such a lovely lady."

And, after all, in two decades together,

And, bang, he shoots. The bear disappears from view.

And, for all their good intentions, is a different breed.

And, I'm told, a tear or two shed among the unseen staff.

And, in due course, as queen.

And, in its own way, a happy marriage.

And, most importantly, not even the woman you think loves you.

And, my goodness, I am lucky enough to be married to her.

And, really, we should not dignify an insignificant…

And, um…

And?

And…

And…

And…

And…

And…

And…

And…

And…

And…

And… a touching vulnerability.

And… and again. And one and two and three and…

And… it's the same color as my eyes.

And… no offense, but if it'd just been you, you know,

And… perhaps for that reason,

And… there are more.

And… they've started

And… to see it…

And… we're our own country now.

And… wife of a king emperor.

Andrew has never adored me like you do. Or shown me the same devotion.

Andrew, not I, was the big love of your life,

Anne resents me. And is it possible that you resent me too?

Anne thinks she's found someone good.

Anne, Papa,

Anne.

Anne's not lost.

Announce the betrothal of their beloved son the Prince of Wales

Any casualties?

Any honest parent would admit to having a favorite.

Any idea where that is?

Any more telephone calls from Major Hewitt,

Any news, Lady Di?

Any one?

Any redeeming features in these people at all.

Any time either of us feels we're not getting what we need,

Any work in the past two weeks?

Any work in the past two weeks?

Anyone new, everyone tortures them trying to catch them out.

Anything at all.

Anyway, I'll see you at the altar.

Anyway, no sooner are we found than Dad tells me off!

Anyway, she prescribed… medication,

Anyway, she's requested a private audience on board the royal yacht

Anyway, the idea is that you pick one.

Anyway, there she meets several twisted and perverted older predators

Anyway, you're a fine one to talk. You can't drive at all.

Anyway.

Apart from the one person,

Apart from, "What's the dress going to look like?"

Apparently saw Mark and his co driver yesterday.

Apparently, it's ruthless,

Apparently, she surprised him with a dance last night at the opera house.

Apparently, the healing cannot start until the grandiosity is diminished.

Apparently, the royal family routinely subject all their guests

Apparently, there are protests planned for their visit to Canberra.

Appreciated.

Architecturally, there is little that is normal about this family.

Are a reflection on the integrity of the Crown.

Are actually several of the sanctions she would never have contemplated

Are all great sovereign nations with great histories.

Are at breaking point.

Are committed to imposing a policy of sanctions on Pretoria

Are cricketing enthusiasts."

Are desperately concerned…

Are still held in British jails.

Are still."

Are those for me? That is so kind of you. Thank you.

Are turning into the living embodiment of your soul.

Are we allowed to sleep in one bed?

Are we going to go for a walk? Yes?

Are you all hungry?

Are you at Classiebawn with the gang?

Are you aware of anyone else in your immediate family

Are you bossy?

Are you both ganging up on me?

Are you even remotely aware of how bad things have got for me?

Are you going up to the top today?

Are you gonna be in London next week? I'd like to see you.

Are you really telling me that's unhappiness?

Are you sure this isn't too wet?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Are you?

Aren't you supposed to be out there stalking?

Aren't you, now.

Arguments and raised voices.

Around which the last Prince of Wales came to grief.

As a consequence of their privilege and entitlement.

As a consequence of your actions…

As a matter of fact,

As a student at Oxford.

As an alderman, he took me everywhere.

As are the boat boy, Paul Maxwell, and Lord Mountbatten's grandson Nicholas.

As being headstrong, obstinate, and dangerously self opinionated."

As father to you.

As husband and wife live out their vows,

As I speak to you today from Cape Town,

As in "the Grand Old Duke of…"

As is your right in a civilized democracy.

As it happens, there was.

As it was to my late father,

As many jobs, as much work.

As members of the Household Division troop their color,

As my wife.

As opposed to?

As Philip did.

As Prince of Wales, he has to start sometime.

As secretary general of the United Nations.

As she told MPs that the future of the Falkland Islands

As the overnight trains and buses

As the pilot returned to the rescue headquarters,

As the prince and princess appeared,

As the Sunday Times published details of a sensational rift

As they all do.

As we follow her induction into sensual pleasures.

As well as being born second…

As well as past palace guards and police.

As you know, Australia is one of the most important

As you know, we believe the only way to stop these atrocities

As you start low, the first one,

At a time when Australia is experiencing extreme weather, you know,

At a very delicate moment politically.

At Hilton Colliery redevelopment site in Sunderland.

At home and abroad.

At how wonderful she is.

At last, she was clear away,

At least I recognize my limitations.

At least when Camilla and I commit adultery,

At new figures showing a sharp rise in the rate of unemployment.

At the City of London.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

At the Community Enterprise Trust in Hartlepool,

At the earliest opportunity.

At the end of a week in which half of Australia's also been booing me!

At the forthcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in the Bahamas.

At the Royal Brompton Hospital.

At the same time, my family, the Bowes Lyons…

At the Swiss resort of Klosters.

At this special gala event.

At Westminster Abbey.

At what?

Attempt I've made to muscle through.

Aunt Fenella was overwhelmed.

Aunt Margot tells me at Kensington Palace, it's like a revolving door.

Aunt Margot, you can't call them that.

Aw, there.

Aw.

Aw…

Aw…

Back in a tick. I'm going to powder my nose.

Back to desk duties in Croydon.

Back to your ecstatic new family,

Bastards.

Bath time.

Bathroom. That door.

Be read in any other way than a clear invitation to open a contest

Be required to relinquish your role as Counsellor of State.

Because a great deal of fuss is being made of it.

Because certain members of the family will have to curtsy to you.

Because General Galtieri is a criminal and a fascist,

Because he's on an aeroplane flying home.

Because he's stronger.

Because her husband treated her as such.

Because I could control it.

Because I didn't know how to…

Because I have never been one, and my sister has.

Because I've been a terrible mother? Is that what you've come here to tell me?

Because I've realized how much I want to make this marriage work.

Because I've tried everything else.

Because if you can prove yourself to be of value to the economy,

Because it reminds me of my mother's engagement ring.

Because it's starting to feel more like it controls me,

Because it's the only place with no security cameras.

Because my fellow heads of government are now coming up with a statement
