450

Princess Margaret dons[A2]  white overalls[A3] 

451

when she visits Calverton Colliery

in Nottinghamshire.

452

Her visit to the coalface[A4] 

a quarter of a mile underground

453

is included in her tour of the colliery[A5] 

454

which is recognized as one of

the most modern in Europe.

455

After almost an hour underground,

the Princess brings back a souvenir[A6] 

456

a piece of coal she hewed [A7] herself.

457

[man] Did you enjoy the mining[A8] ,

Your Royal Highness?

458

I did, very much.

Although, it was jolly dusty down there.

459

Some even went into my mouth

but I can assure you, it tasted delicious.

460

 [man] Having experienced the conditions,

461

do you have sympathy

for the miners that work there?

462

One couldn't fail

to have sympathy for anyone

463

who has to spend

their working life down there.

464

It's intolerably dark and hot

and cramped[A9] .

465

To my eyes, it seemed conditions

are still very perilous[A10] 

466

for these poor, brave men

who work underground for so very little.

467

What would you say

to the authorities regarding the matter?

468

-I have nothing further to [A11] say.

-Who's the coal for?

469

I have someone very special in mind.

470

 [man] Group Captain Townsend?

471

-Are you missing him?

-Yes, I am. Very much.

472

 [man] And are you missing your sister,

Her Majesty, the Queen?

473

-Not quite as much, no.

-[laughter]

474

-[Townsend] Why on earth did you say that?

-What?

475

-That you missed me.

-I did! And I do.

476

-I know but that wasn't wise.

-Why not?

477

Darling, you can't use a public occasion

to take a dig at your sister [A12] like that.

478

-Oh, don't you start too.

-It's just... the Palace won't like it.

479

And we need the Palace on our side.

480

Who is it you think

you'd be letting down, anyway? A koala?

481

This whole thing is a circus[A13] .

It's a miserable circus.

482

Trudging[A14]  from town to town

and we're the dancing bears.

483

-What are you doing?

-I'm taking back this small pleasure.

484

-You've taken away too much.

-No! No, no! Those things will kill you!

485

Yeah. Forty a day your father smoked

and now I know why. Poor bastard.

486

Yeah, he probably took one look

at this tour and thought,

487

"D'you know what?

I'd be better off with cancer."

488

Shut up!

489

What is it you're trying to prove?

What is it you want to hear him say?

490

"Bravo, Lilibet. Manage the whole tour."

491

"Lilibet never lets you down.

Ticked every box.

492

Never put a foot wrong[A15] ."

493

"Now, finally,

I love you more than I love Margaret."

494

Get out! Get out!

495

-Don't touch me. Oh, Christ!

-Get out!

496

-Philip! Don't you dare come back here!

-Don't be ridiculous! Christ!

497

-Let me go and have a word.

-No.

498

I'll do it.

499

I'm sorry for that little interlude[A16] .

I'm sure it must happen in every marriage.

500

Now, what would you like me to do?

For your newsreel[A17] ?

501

Another gift for Your Majesty.

502

Thank you.

503

 [Churchill] Your Royal Highness...

504

when you appear in public performing

official duties, you are not you.

505

Of course I'm me.

506

Expressing political opinions

about working conditions in mines,

507

that business at Sadler's Wells.

508

And no one wants you to be you,

they want you to be it.

509

A statue? A thing?

510

The Crown.

That's what they've come to see. Not you.

511

The minute you become yourself,

you shatter the illusion, break the spell.

512

What people want is someone to inhabit[A18]  it.

Not be frightened of it.

513

Make it flesh and blood[A19] . Bring it to life.

514

Your uncle, Edward VIII,

threatened to do just that,

515

impose[A20]  his individuality

on the institution.

516

Bring it to life!

517

And he almost destroyed it in the process!

518

You can't seriously be comparing this

to the Abdication?

519

No, but I've decided that all remaining

Royal engagements in the Queen's absence

520

should be carried out by the Queen Mother.

521

-My mother is in Scotland.

-So I gather.

522

But I sent someone to bring her back.

Right away!

523

Your Royal Highness.
