[bell dings]

310

[Duke of Windsor] Oh, it's vile.

311

Tommy Lascelles comes up to me

at the funeral, of all places[A1] ,

312

asks me for a word then tells me,

to my face, "Do you credit it?"

313

I come all this way,

back to this gaping[A2]  wound of a country,

314

forbidden to bring my own wife,

to pay respects to my dear, late brother

315

and they compound[A3]  an already traumatic

and painful trip with this humiliation!

316

The timing does seem

particularly unfortunate.

317

It's an outrage[A4] !

318

-How much is the allowance?

-Ten thousand a year.

319

The agreement between Bertie and me

was that I would give up everything

320

and go into exile and keep a low profile[A5] 

in return for a pension[A6] 

321

that was clearly meant to be

for the term of my whole life, not his!

322

Now he's barely cold

and Cookie turns off the bloody tap[A7] !

323

-How dare she?

-You don't know that it was her.

324

-Of course it was her.

-And don't call her that.

325

Why not?

She's fat, common, and looks like a cook.

326

Did they offer any justification[A8] ?

327

Oh, that it would appear insensitive[A9] 

for a member of the extended Royal family

328

to be seen to be rewarded[A10] 

and live in luxury.

329

Extended[A11]  Royal family!

330

I was the most senior member

of that family. The King!

331

Now, we barely make ends meet[A12] !

Every day is a struggle.

332

You live in great style

from what I've heard.

333

Perhaps you should take a leaf

out[A13] of your late brother's book.

334

-He was frugal[A14] , you know.

-He was born frugal. In every department.

335

And that frugality[A15] 

earned him great favour[A16] .

336

And he passed it on

to the women[A17]  in his family.

337

Who just spent 70,000

renovating[A18]  Clarence House,

338

so no lectures, please,

about the frugality of the new Queen.

339

-That was her husband.

-What, the foundling[A19] ?

340

-Don't call him that.

-Why not?

341

I'd call him by his name, if he had one.

342

[door opens]

343

His Royal Highness, Prince Ernst August

of Hanover, Your Majesty.

344

-He's here.

-What?

345

He apologizes for the lack of warning,

but said it was important.

346

[sighs] All right.

You'd better show him in.
