[clapping]

482

Thank you.

483

Thank you. Thank you.

484

-[bell rings]

-[Charles laughs]

485

Very good. Charles, come on.

486

-Alright.

-No, Mummy.

487

Ma'am, His Majesty has requested

you attend him in his study.

488

Urgently[A2] requested, ma'am.

489

Alright.

490

Will you take them?

491

I'll be back soon.

492

[nanny] Off we go then!

493

In case you're wondering,

I haven't anything specific to say.

494

Just wanted to spend time with you.

495

[chuckles]

496

If there's anything you wanted to ask me,

just fire away[A3] .

497

Are they a nuisance[A4] ?

498

Oh, the boxes.

499

Not if you keep on top of them[A5] .

500

-Even at Christmas.

-Even at Christmas.

501

Well, what's inside?

502

Everything they want me to know,

they stick on top.

503

Everything they'd rather I didn't know,

504

Cabinet meetings[A6] ,

Foreign Office [A7] briefings[A8],

505

they tuck away [A9] at the bottom.

506

Which is why... the first thing I do

when no one is looking, is this.

507

[slams [A10] box on table]

508

-[breathless chuckle]

-[laughs]

509

[coughs]

510

Will you take that? Thank you.

511

[coughing]

512

[sighs]

513

Yeah.

514

Don't you get sick of it all?

515

[sighs] I do.

516

-And lonely?

-[sighs]

517

Sometimes.

518

Which is why it's so important

to have the right person by your side.

519

I've been very lucky in that regard

with your mother.

520

How's your fellow?[A11] 

521

-Philip?

-Mm.

522

Well, he...

523

Well, I'm afraid he's become something

of a snagaholic.

524

A what?

525

Well, you know we're renovating[A12]  Clarence

House to make it our permanent home?

526

Mm, yes.

527

Well, ever since[A13]  he started

supervising [A14] the work,

528

he can't look at anything

without seeing its faults.

529

"That switch[A15]  is an inch too high.

And that door handle's wrong."

530

"Well, don't be silly," I say.

"A handle's a handle."

531

I should make more of an effort [A16] with him.

532

Take him shooting.

533

-Would he like that?

-Yes, I think he'd love it.

534

And then when your health's improved,

we'll return to Malta

535

and he'll have his navy again,

and all will be well.

536

Of course.

537

But, in the meantime...

I'm still not yet well enough to travel.

538

Not long distances, anyway.

539

Which brings me

to the forthcoming[A17]  Commonwealth tour.

540

I was wondering if you would consider

stepping into my shoes[A18] , so to speak.

541

My health is improving

but I'm still not yet well enough.

542

-Well, if you think we're up to it.

-You'll be fine.

543

-Where is it?

-Well...

544

Ceylon. Australia.

545

Then on to New Zealand. Bermuda.

546

And there's talk[A19]  of starting in Kenya.

547

Very good!

548

Right, we'll be gone months.

549

Yes. But it would mean so much

to papa that we do it.

550

-What am I supposed to do all that time?

-Don't worry, we'll put you to work.

551

My work is as a naval officer,

552

not grinning[A20]  like a demented[A21]  ape[A22] 

while you cut ribbons!

553

-What about the children?

-The children will be fine.

554

Oh! Without their parents

for months on end?

555

-Daddy, can you come and play?

-I won't be a moment, darling.

556

If you go and play with grandpapa,

I'll be right over. Good boy.

557

[Queen Elizabeth] Come on, darling,

Daddy's busy. Come and start again.

558

-[Charles] Daddy's coming.

-They won't know.

559

-They're too young to notice.

-Come on. Be quiet.

560

It would so help in papa's recovery.
