[orchestral music playing]

544

[door opens]

545

[man] His Royal Highness

the Duke of Windsor, Your Majesty.

546

Your Majesty.

547

Thank you for seeing me.

548

Thank you for coming.

549

Well, most of the time we're in Paris.

We've been given a house there.

550

Wallis likes to entertain.

She's so good at it.

551

So the place is always full.

And we have dogs.

552

Oh, really? What kind?

553

Pugs. Davy Crockett, Trooper and Disraeli.

554

-Why pugs? What's the attraction?

-Well, they're... childlike[A1] .

555

-Need a lot of loving.

-They have a strange bark.

556

-Yes.

-More of a yap[A2] .

557

And they're lazy. Spend all day sleeping.

558

-Yes.

-They're awfully gassy.

559

Yes.

560

I suppose one can always open the windows.

561

[chuckles]

562

-Don't you miss it?

-What?

563

The country of your birth.

The people here.

564

Your own flesh and blood.

565

Well, I would've done

if they'd accepted the woman I love.

566

But they didn't, so I don't.

567

So the former King keeps himself

at a distance.

568

A distance that was imposed upon [A3] me.

They wanted me out.

569

And reduces[A4]  us all to cruel nicknames.

570

Shirley Temple.

571

Uh... Yes.

572

On account of [A5] the curls?

573

And precocious[A6] ness.

574

-And stardom[A7] .

-You flatterer.

575

Not at all.

576

Generally,

we're better at queens than kings.

577

In this country I have a feeling

you'll be no exception.

578

-I certainly intend to do it well.

-I did, too.

579

Obviously, not hard enough.

580

No.

581

You never apologized.

582

To your papa, I most certainly did.

583

Your mother too.

I can show you the letters.

584

I didn't mean to them. I meant to me.

585

You?

586

You don't think I'm deserving of one.

587

You don't think I would have preferred

to grow up out of the spotlight?

588

Away from Court?

589

Away from the scrutiny[A8]  and the visibility.

590

A simpler life.

591

Happier life.

592

As a wife, a mother.

593

An ordinary English countrywoman.

594

I'm sorry.

595

Thank you.

596

You might extend the same apology

to my husband the next time you see him.

597

-Oh, is he struggling?

-A little.

598

Well, it'd be odd if he weren't.

599

Anyway, if I am to succeed,

600

then he and I are going to need

all the help we can get.

601

Well, I'm sure you're surrounded

by good people offering it.

602

Not if they're always off

in Paris or New York,

603

or wherever it is you spend your time.

604

Y-You would take my advice?

605

I would.

606

Particularly now my father

isn't here to give his.

607

I'd know it came from the heart.

608

Since I know, deep down[A9] ,

despite everything,

609

that you care very deeply.

610

I do.

611

As it happens, [A10] there are two issues

612

on which I would like to offer

some advice.

613

The first is your husband's surname

and the name of the Royal house.

614

And the second?

615

There you are. There's something

I'd like to discuss with you.

616

Now, please don't react.

617

I'd like to take flying lessons.

618

I know.

619

But, trust me, becoming a pilot

has been a lifelong[A11]  ambition of mine

620

and I think I've found a teacher

mad enough to take me on as a pupil[A12] .

621

Peter, no less[A13] , Peter Townsend.

622

-What's the matter?

-I need to talk to you.

623

About what?

624

They'd rather we didn't keep the name.

625

Mountbatten.

626

Who's "they?"

627

-Cabinet.

-It's none of their business.

628

[scoffs[A14] ] I think you'll find

it's very much their business.

629

You're my wife,

taking my name is the law.

630

It's the custom[A15] . Not the law.

631

A custom practiced so universally

it might as well be the law.

632

You can't do this.

Am I to be the only man in the country

633

whose wife and children

don't take his name?

634

You can't do this to Dickie.

It will devastate him.

635

You know that.

You know how important it is to him.

636

I've told him the Royal house Mountbatten

is in the bag.

637

Well, that was a mistake. It's not.

638

The name has to be Windsor. For stability.

639

There's more.

640

-Clarence House...

-Our home. What about it?

641

We have to give it up.

642

The home of the Sovereign

of the United Kingdom

643

is Buckingham Palace.

644

Says who?

645

Me.

646

I thought you hated that place.

647

I do. We all do.

648

Then why go along with it?

649

Because that's the overwhelming [A16] advice.

650

But that's the point, Elizabeth,

it's just advice.

651

It doesn't mean

that you have to act on it.

652

When it comes from the government,

you do.

653

What kind of marriage is this?

654

What kind of family?

655

You've taken my career from me,

you've taken my home.

656

You've taken my name.

657

I thought we were in this together.

658

[door opens, closes]

659

[Charles] See? Daddy's here.

660

Welcome home, ma'am.

661

[cheering]

662

[Queen Elizabeth]<i> My Lords...

663

I hereby[A17]  declare my will and pleasure

664

that I and my children

shall be styled[A18]  and known

665

as the House and Family of Windsor.

666

And that my descendants,

667

other than female descendants

who marry, and their descendants,

668

shall bear the name of Windsor.
