-Morning.

-Morning.

400

The PM will not be joining us

this morning.

401

He is very much tired

from all the emotion of yesterday.

402

-So, where is he?

-He's still asleep.

403

So, in his absence, as deputy,

I will preside[A1] .

404

-The Queen's flight--

-Wait a minute, Anthony.

405

If you're presiding over the meeting

on behalf of the PM,

406

shouldn't you be sitting

in the appropriate chair?

407

I don't think that's entirely necessary.

408

Very well.

409

So, the Queen's flight

is now over Italy,

410

having left the El Adem airfield

in Libya at five this morning.

411

Sorry to disturb.

412

May I just say how very sorry I am

413

that we'll not be working

together anymore.

414

Why?

415

I have to give way[A2] 

to Sir Tommy Lascelles.

416

As private secretary to the

sovereign, he's my senior.

417

This is where I have to stand aside[A3] 

for the great man.

418

Martin... so sorry.

419

Ma'am.

420

[Philip] What a nightmare.

421

Charteris at least had one foot

in the real world.

422

And was your man, our man,

on our side.

423

Whereas Tommy Lascelles...

424

he's stuck in the land

that time forgot.

425

[door opens]

426

-[Peter] You asked to see me, sir.

-I did.

427

-Will you sit?

-Thank you, sir.

428

I'd assumed that following the death

of His Late Majesty,

429

you would,

at the earliest appropriate moment,

430

be resuming your duties

with the Royal Air Force.

431

Yes, sir.

432

I mentioned this to the Queen...

433

the Queen Mother, this morning,

who then asked me,

434

quite unusually,

to ask you whether you might like

435

-to reconsider such a departure[A4] .

-Oh, sir?

436

She felt that you had enjoyed

an uncommonly close association

437

with her late husband

and earned not just his trust,

438

but the trust and affection[A5] 

of the family.

439

Thank you, sir.

440

In the light of this, she wondered

whether you might consider

441

staying on in a new role,

442

as comptroller[A6]  of the Queen Mother's

household[A7] .

443

-I see.

-A kind and generous offer.

444

As befits [A8] the widow of a kind...

445

and generous man.

446

But, while I'm sure you're flattered,

447

I don't expect you to accept

the post[A9] .

448

Hence[A10]  my discouragement[A11]  of the offer.

449

I didn't want Her Majesty to suffer

the embarrassment of a refusal[A12] .

450

Why would I not accept, sir?

451

Well, you're asking

the wrong question, Townsend.

452

Why would you?

453

You're a decorated[A13]  war hero,

still in your prime[A14] ,

454

and comptroller of the Queen Mother's

household

455

has no military associations.

456

It would take you away

from your wife and children.

457

After all, the person

458

with whom you enjoyed the uncommonly[A15] 

close understanding[A16]  is deceased[A17].

459

Unless I'm missing something.

460

Unless, there is someone else

461

with whom [A18] you enjoy

an uncommonly close understanding,

462

which would make accepting this post

more attractive.

463

I don't know

what you're referring[A19]  to.

464

Don't you, Group Captain Townsend?

465

Husband and father.

466

No, sir.
