Transcripts For CNN The Windsors Inside the Royal Dynasty 20240707

Cautious step as monarch, she is torn between the palace old forward led by her mother and those like her husband philip who want change. With scandals swirling around her sister margaret threatening to tarnish her reign, the queen must assert her power. Sacrificing the happiness of those she loves. February 1952. Elizabeth ii has been queen for just a few days, following the death of her father, king george vi. Shortly after the kings lord mount batten Prince Philips uncle holds a dinner party at the house in hampshire. Lord Louis Mountbatten played a key role in the life of his young nephew philip. When philip is a child the family are deposed and they flee to exile, and really his father has no time for him. Louis mountbatten takes over as Philips Guardian and so he sees him as his son really. Lord mountbatten had always had domestic ambitions for his nephew philip. He was like some sort of medieval character plotting the advance of his own dynasty. Lord mountbatten makes a radical pronouncement. The House Of Windsor should take philips name. Mountbatten asks everyone present to raise a glass to the House Of Mountbatten. In this hes saying the House Of Windsor is dead, the House Of Mountbatten is the next monarchy. But what he hadnt reckoned with was the wall of opposition from the really formidable queen mary, who was elizabeths grandmother. And she took a very dim view of it. What has this damned fool got to do with the name of this house . Queen marys husband, george v, was the king whod begun the House Of Windsor. Queen mary goes to Winston Churchill and said this is what mountbatten is plotting. My grandfather was extremely alarmed and upset. People are suspicious of mountbatten. Theyre suspicious of his role, of him moving forward, trying to influence the queen and Prince Philip. Its a huge dilemma for the queen. She knows how much it means to philip. But on this occasion she has to side with churchill against her husband. And indeed it came to the cabinet who decided that the royal house would remain the House Of Windsor. I think one has to remember just how young the queen was at this time. She had no experience of being queen. So of course shes going to listen to the Prime Minister. Winston churchill was a friend of her fathers, and he was the man who people saw as having won the war. Hes an incredibly formidable figure. And the idea that this very young, almost childlike queen, should defy the Prime Minister, that is completely off limits. The queen issues a proclamation. The name of the royal house will remain windsor. For the first time in british history heirs to the throne will take their family name from their mother and not their father. For philip this is a terrible, terrible humiliation. A typical marriage at that social rank in the early 1950s would be one with a superior husband and a charming, deferential wife. Had Prince Philip married anybody else, thats what he would have got. He thought to himself, well, theres no other father in the United Kingdom who cant give his own name to his own children. Im just a bloody amoeba, he said. Its a terrible slight to his masculinity. And theres more humiliation to come. While all this turmoil is going on, Prince Philip at least has one thing which he can cling to, one place where he can feel sort of safe and his own, which is Clarence House. Prince philips idea is we stay at Clarence House and you work from Buckingham Palace. But tommy lascelles, the private secretary, and winston ch churchill the Prime Minister overruled him. The queen agrees and moves her family into Buckingham Palace. Adding to the duke of edinburghs frustration is the fact that when they arrive at Buckingham Palace, still living there of course is his motherinlaw. The queen mother, Queen Elizabeth, was very reluctant to leave. Thats never easy. However big a place is, and shed been queen of england. That was quite awkward, that situation. The queen mother and Prince Philip are not natural soulmates. She would have seen him as a sort of brash kind of independent type of person. He would have seen her as very conservative. The queen mother has a huge amount of influence over her daughter and says i know how things are done. The queen retains her parents courtiers. These royal advisers are traditionalists, determined to keep an iron grip on the running of the palace. And of course these courtiers think that because the queen is just a woman, shes a young woman, that they can have all the influence because shell be so easy to control. And philip is shut out. For quite a macho chap that secondary role always a step behind his wife, i think, was a difficult role. He was observed to be at a very low ebb. He just seems depressed. The queen realized that philip has to do something, she cant expect a man of his energy to be unemployed. Against the advice of the palace old guard the queen puts philip in charge of organizing the ceremony in which he will be officially crowned. King jamess palace with the Meeting Place of the newly appointed Coronation Commission presided over by the duke of edinburgh. He was these courtiers, they have very, very traditional ideas about how things should be done. They were only to stay exactly the same. But philip thinks The Royal Family needs to modernize to survive. Philips been put in charge and things are going to change. They are on a collision course. Ever wonder what everyones doing on their phones . Theyre investing with merrill. Think miss allen is texting for backup . No shes totally in charge. Of her portfolio and daniel g.

Knorr. Taste for good. June 1953. Journalists from around the Globe Descend upon london to cover Queen Elizabeth iis coronation. The worlds finest equipment will be used including the largest Telephoto Lens in the world. To bring the complete magnificent spectacle to this theater. Months earlier the bbc had made an unprecedented request, to televise the coronation live. Previous ceremonies had been filmed but always edited before being broadcast. The queens instinct is to exclude television from the abbey. She feels the coronation is going to be an enormous strain and to have her every movement spied upon by the lens is too much for her. She thinks i really dont want this. And of course with the courtiers theres a lot of snobbery. Theres a terrible feeling that people might be watching the coronation in unsuitable modes. They might be having their feet on the sofa and not being significantly dignified. The queen agrees with her advisers. Buckingham palace announces the coronation will not be broadcast live. There is a public outcry. The british newspapers, the Daily Express and the daily mirror both attack the side of the public. They suggest to their readers that the politicians in the palace dont want you to see the coronation. And if you like, they stir up trouble. But the bbc, the press, and the public have a surprising ally. Prince philip felt very strongly the coronation should be televised. You can see times are changing. You couldnt continue to do things Behind Closed Doors at the time. Ho he understood that this was an unbelievable Good Opportunity to make the nation feel closely connected to the monarchy. There is and always has been an interesting difference between the queen and the duke of edinburgh. The queen is naturally a conservative individual. She believes in tradition. She likes to do things the way theyve been done before. The duke of edinburgh is dynamic. Hes forwardlooking. Hes a young man in a hurry. She was anxious, but philip tries to persuade her that this is a way for her to reach millions and millions of her subjects. He plays a key role in helping to bring the queen round to the idea and make her comfortable with it. Eventually, he says yes. On Coronation Day crowds line the streets hoping for a glimpse of their queen. And across the nation people gather to watch it live on television. Now like a great seventh wave the cheering grows to its climax. Into the forecourt of the palace comes the gilded hopes bearing the young queen to her crown. We waited in Westminster Abby and we suddenly hear this roar, and suddenly, around the corner came this golden coach. It was like a disney film. Absolutely extraordinary. And there we saw the queen for the first time. Her dress was so beautiful. The train had satin handles under it so it sort of flowed over her hands. We got in place and the queen turned around with a radiant smile and said ready, girls. Yes, maam. And off we went. They were all dressed up. It was like a medieval tapestry. She comes now to the order to confirm before god the promises which she has made. The coronation is a very ancient religious ceremony, and at the heart of it there is this sacred right of the anointing of the monarch by the archbishop of canterbury. There you saw her. She looked very vulnerable and alone and i thought, goodness, what a weight is on this girls shoulders because she was only a girl. It is the moment of the an an anointing. A moment so important history can scarcely the anointment means so much to the queen because she believes she was divine sanction for her power, that she was chosen by god. The anointing of the holy oil, its a symbol really, which i think she felt changed her from being an ordinary person into being a queen. Twothirds of all adults in the uk are tuned in via television to the coronation. People were thrilled and everybody crowded around these minuscule Television Sets to watch. This was completely revolutionary, that people could get up close and personal with the queen. 27 Million People watch this ceremony. The use of the new medium of television, It Vindicates Prince Philip and It Vindicates the idea that we need to modernize the monarchy. The coronations a magnificent pageant. But as people were coming out of the abbey, a little event took place, which was to cause the queen terrible anguish in the years to come. When Queen Elizabeths younger sister Princess Margaret is caught shattering a royal taboo, it threatens to undermine the monarchs young reign. After all. We wouldnt be where we are today without them. So we made sure that like these buildings. Their futures may also stand the test of time. Whats the 1 Retinol Brand used most by dermatologists .

And with coverage of over 96 of interstate highway miles, theyve got us covered. The coronation is a triumph for the young queen. But as the guests leave Westminster Abbey, an incident takes place that jeopardizes elizabeths reign before its hardly begun. The queens sister, Princess Margaret, was seen brushing a bit of fluff off the uniform of a household official, senior household official. She picked it off his uniform, but it was such a loving gesture. But standing nearby is a very sharpeyed journalist. And she recognizes that this is an act of such intimacy that there is something going on between Princess Margaret and royal servant, Group Captain Peter Townsend. Its a scandal. Peter townsend is not only a royal servant, hes also 16 years older than the princess and divorced with two young children. There is a horror in The Royal Family. They regard divorce with a sort of almost superstitious dread. 17 years earlier the queens uncle edward viii abdicated to marry American Divorcee wallis simpson. Elizabeths father reluctantly took on the throne. I think we have to remember that the queen is not only a devout christian but shes also the head of the Church Of England. The Church Of England at this time does not recognize divorce. It means that the queen is very conflicted. The royal court reacts very badly to the news of a romance between margaret and townsend. But a lot of ordinary people very much sympathized with margaret and townsend. And i do think that the senior courtiers were really rather out of step with the mood of the nation. So when the press does stop talking about it, theres a great divide between those who think divorce is unacceptable and those who feel let love prevail. Margarets profile in the 1950s is of a beautiful, iconic princess. She was a real star, really almost like the hollywood stars. Shes very beautiful. She photographs marvelously. Shes always in the papers. And there is constant speculation who is the princesss favorite suitor. Peter townsend was a war hero, very goodlooking. He was known as this dashing air force pilot. His reputation was a wonderful one. Margaret desperately wants to marry townsend. But the problem is that she is 22 and any member of The Royal Family under the age of 25 needs to have the consent of the ruling monarch. The decision is not in margarets hands. Its in the hands of her sister, the queen. The queen is in a terrible bind really over this because she loves her sister. She would like her to be happy. But the queens instincts were not to do anything that would undermine the monarchy. The royal family traditionally was supposed to be an image of ourselves behaving well. And if The Royal Family started to behave badly, then it could cut at the root of the peoples loyalty to the crown. So once that image of perfect family life becomes tarnished, can we justify all that taxpayers money . Margarets fate lies in her sisters hands. The queen decided to say im not saying no, that you cant marry him, but id like you to wait. On the advice of her courtiers the queen agrees to banish the man her sister loves. The British Embassy in brussels recently attracted a number of cameras, which focused on the arrival of Group Captain Peter Townsend. Having driven his own car to take up his new appointment as air attache. Peter townsend is exiled to belgium for two years. Its a case of getting rid of townsend, getting him out of the way. My father was asked to leave the country, the country he served as a Fighter Pilot during the second world war, and i think that was very difficult for him. Princess margaret finds this incredibly hurtful. Two years when youre 23, two years is a long time. The queen hopes she has defused the scandal. But two years later townsend returns. Excitement bubbles like champagne in london as Group Captain Peter Townsend returns from diplomatic duties in belgium to call on Princess Margaret. And perhaps a climactic phase opens in the much publicized royal romance thats had the western world agog. Margaret is 25 and legally able to decide who she should marry. She doesnt need the consent of the queen. The queen does what she always does in a crisis, which is to bury her head in the sand. So she tries not to get involved, to leave it to her advisers. And her advisers as well as the British Government are still opposed to Margaret Marrying Peter Townsend. The Prime Minister said if you marry townsend youve got to abandon your royal status. People of the city were thrilled and delighted. Margaret will become mrs. Peter townsend, for someone whos been brought up like shes been brought up this is not an alluring prospect. For three weeks theyre harried by the press. They go from place to place agonizingly trying to make up their minds. Frantic sensationalism, and the whole thing turned into a circus. Wherever Princess Margaret went, people in the crowd shouted go on maggie, marry him anyway. At this stage it was still asked will they become engaged . Royal duty and consideration for her sisters position comes into her feelings very strongly. She wouldnt knowingly do anything that would damage the queen or damage the idea of the monarchy. Princess margaret wavered, i think, tremendously. One moment she thought she could. The next moment she thought she couldnt. Finally, on october the 31st, 1955, Princess Margaret issues a statement. We are interrupting programs for a special announcement. I would like it to be known that i have decided not to marry Group Captain Peter Townsend. Mindful of the churchs teaching that christian marriage is indesoluble, i have resolved to put these considerations before any others. I think there was sadness for a long time after that. I always think the first person one falls in love with, one always has a twinge of regret, a sort of longing, you know. And i think the first person you fall in love with is something special. Princess margaret sacrificed her happiness for the institution of monarchy. But soon the queens own marriage will suffer the same scrutiny.

Prop, 26 means no money to fix homelessness, no Enforcement Oversight and no support for disadvantaged tribes. Yikes prop 27 generates hundreds of millions towards priorities like new Housing Units in all 58 counties. 27 supports nongaming tribes and includes strict audits that ensure funds go directly to people off the streets and into theres only one choice. Yes on 27. Philip and elizabeth are a golden couple. Theyre young, theyre beautiful. Already they have a very practiced double act. But Behind The Scenes the people around the queen can sense that hes restless. Philip is struggling with living in the shadow of his powerful wife. Her idea was that she would wear the crown but he would wear the trousers. He organized the home. He decided where the children should go to school. All the domestic matters were decided by Prince Philip. Here is a young, spirited man, huge energy. His whole world becomes circumscribed and of course he does itch for a bit of freedom. He let off steam by going to whats known as the thursday club, in soho, which is the Red Light District of london. The thursday club is i predominantly male luncheon club. It was a place where Prince Philip felt he could sort of escape and let his hair down in private. And there was a lot of drink drunk and a lot of dirty jokes told and a general sort of air of dissoluteness. And of course Prince Philip occasionally would go out in the evening with friends and once or twice he found himself in a nightclub late at night. He was seen dancing with an attractive young actress. He might only have met her that evening. But some of his behavior was considered a bit fast and reck Li Less By Courtiers at the time. But the British Press, deferential toward The Royal Family, largely ignores rumors of philips partying. Its a very difficult problem for the queen because of the way shed been brought up in this royal bubble she had no idea of the sort of bohemian world that existed outside the walls of Buckingham Palace. And we get a slight feeling i think within the royal marriage of a kind of separateness. So when he came back smelling rather heavily of drink i think she was uneasy about it and she retreated rather into herself. And there to see off the duke of edinburgh are the queen, Princess Anne and the duke of cornwall. In october 1956, philip leaves for a solo tour of the commonwealth, triggering widespread speculation. The official reason for it is that hes opening the Olympic Games in australia. But hes away for about four months. And very, very slow to come home. At the time there were people asking questions about why the duke of edinburgh was away for so long. Was he trying to get away from the queen . What was happening . To that is added a scandal. Not just a whiff of scandal but a real scandal. A shadow falls on the last stages of the duke of edinburghs tour. Lieutenant Commander Michael parker, his friend and secretary has resigned. Mike parker, the princes private secretary, leaves the tour early. Hes actually being divorced by his wife for adultery. Certain london papers have given front page publicity to his family troubles. So whats going on here . I mean, his best friends getting divorced. Hes his closest companion and ally. Is something similar going on in the life of Prince Philip . Mike parker had introduced Prince Philip into this slightly disreputable soho world. And people think theyre all at it in the thursday club. This led to an enormous amount of rumor and speculation that the duke was playing away from home, that he was having affairs. In the 1950s divorce is seen as a form of social suicide. And i think in the queens Social Network the expectation was that whatever happened youd have to put up with it, grit your teeth and carry on. Rumors that there might be cracks in the queens marriage threatened to undermine the moral authority of the monarchy in british society. The unusual response of Buckingham Palace to speculation about the royal marriage is basically to neither confirm nor deny. Buckingham palace felt that it was important to just lance the boil. And they did issue a statement saying there is no royal rift. There was a concerted effort, both on their part and on the part of the establishment to show that their relationship and therefore the monarchy was a unit. In a public display of commitment to her husband the queen honors philip with a more senior title, elevating his status within The Royal Family. Before he married the queen, he was Prince Philip of greece, and then he was made the duke of edinburgh. But as a direct result of this controversial trip to the commonwealth the queen made her husband a prince of the United Kingdom. Thats when he became Prince Philip. We dont actually know what went on inside their domestic lives because everybody is magisterially discreet about it. Shortly after that two more children were born, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, living proof they had a solid relationship. But The Royal Family is soon under attack again, and this time the criticism is leveled at the queen. Ever wonder what everyones doing on their phones . Theyre investing with merrill.

[screaming and cheering] [screaming and cheering] is my makeup messy . Yes, its messy [laughter] summer 1957. A once deferential British Press has a new target. Queen elizabeth. In hot water. In an article in his journal the national and English Review he voices criticism of the queen and her court. The attack comes from a committed monarchist. Lord altringham is the son of a former royal courtier. I think my father had real concerns in a world where republics had become the norm and monarchies an exception that monarchy would be seen as an anachronism. He is very unhappy with the stuffy, Old Fashioned way in which the monarchy is run. Hes critical of the courtiers, the old guard around the queen, and hes particularly critical of the words they put into the queens mouth. I thank you for inviting me and my husband here tonight, and for the kind references you have made to my family. He said that she was forced to speak platitudes and that she spoke in the voice of a schoolgirl. I give a toast to the royal air force. These criticisms were received with absolute horror by the palace. It was absolutely not done to criticize the queen in the 1950s. She was almost a deified figure. The Tabloid Press in particular sensationalized it and represented him as a traitor. He was given a fierce grilling on national television. As he was leaving the broadcasting studio, he was struck quite hard around the face by a member of the league of empire loyalists. But one or two of the courtiers said altringham has a point. Rereally we really must begin to move the monarchy in a slightly new direction, that is less looking to the past and more looking to the future. Once again the queen is torn between maintaining tradition or reinventing her monarchy. Two months after altringhams very public critique the queen arrives in america on an official visit. Like nothing else on earth. A lot of new confetti. The queen looks like a bride again. She uses the trip to experiment with a more informal way of interacting with the public. When it was announced that the queen was coming to see a University Of Maryland Football Game and visit a Shopping Center in the area, it sort of caught you by surprise. Following the criticisms made by lord altringham the queen seeks to sort of modernize and update her style. She took a lot of time greeting people, shaking hands, fascinated by the size of the grocery store, fascinated by the carts, by the way people shopped and got food and everything. The whole thing was extraordinarily alien to her. Shes shy. Shes very stiff. But she tries. Whats happening here is something thats very characteristic of Queen Elizabeth, which is that when people criticize she listens and she changes. But will this modern queen approve of her sisters latest romance . Four years after parting from Peter Townsend Princess Margaret has a new and unconventional boyfriend. Tony Armstrong Jones is a brilliant photographer. Long before he meets Princess Margaret hes made his name. He has a very good social background. But hes not an aristocrat. Tony is absolutely at the cutting edge of the approaching 60s revolution. The 1960s is a decade that witnesses great social, cultural, and political change. In britain theres a real liberalization in terms of how ordinary people are behaving. Tony wears a Polo Neck Sweater when he goes out instead of a collar and tie. His assistants have to stitch up his jeans so tightly. Tight jeans were just coming in then. He was a real breath of fresh air, completely different from anybody shed known or gone out with. Of course he had huge sex appeal. Huge sex appeal. Tony has a room. It overlooks the river. Its old and romantic. Its a place you can get away from everybody. And he takes her down there on his motor bike. Can you imagine a royal princess getting on a motorbike and driving down to a flat in ratherheim . Sort of unthinkable really. Tony would cook a steak and salad, and Princess Margaret would then put on the Rubber Gloves and do the washing up. When the announcement of the betrothal was made from Clarence House, the reaction everywhere was not only one of surprise but also of the greatest pleasure. Throughout britain and all over the world. It was a tremendous shock to everybody. We all expected her to marry an aristocrat or other, you know, because in those days they didnt really marry commoners. It was a very happy wedding. By that time we were used to the idea of her marrying him. And we were thrilled. Since Westminster Abbey was first built on thamesside there could hardly be a more beautiful may wedding than this. The queen likes tony very much. He is very personable. He can be extremely charming. The queen was delighted that her sister had found somebody who was going to look after her and love her. But some people can see that this is not going to be a marriage made in heaven. Tony very much embraced the sexual freedoms of the 60s. Everywhere really you can think of. Loads of girlfriends and i think a few boyfriends. He did lead, we have to admit, a rather loose life. Many in the court had heard st stories of tonys goingson. They were frightened that he might mire the princess in some scandal. Here they are intensely in love, wildly in love, but there is danger ahead. Ow you down.

By the mid 1960s, the queen and Prince Phillip are increasingly eclipsed by princess mrg let and her husband tony. In 1965, market let and tony go off the to the states for a threeweek, fivecity tour. This glamorous couple take the United States by storm. They are on an official visit representing the queen and are treated like movie stars. Margaret is possibly the first royal celebrity. She and Elizabeth Taylor are the two most photographed women in the world. They touched down in San Francisco to mobs, and the best glimpse they got of them was when they took a ride on the famous San Francisco cable cars. Appealing to the american is the fact that this is a very informal visit, and every Newspaper Company did all their best to get pictures. People were running alongside the cars trying to get a glimpse or something. Princess margarets next stop is the epi center of fame and glam, hollywood. She and tony tour the movie studios. They received an open arm welcome on the set of the hit film, torn curtain. Margaret, who loves the stars, is just in seventh heaven. They are having a ball. Just as they like to party back in london, they also like to party in the states, and they never gave up for the entire trip. Hollywood laid out its red carpet in what was perhaps the most important social life princess and prince went to a hollywood ball. They were usually the last to go at parties. They stayed until 2 00 a. M. , 3 00 p. M. When Everybody Else was exhausted. After one very select party, Princess Margaret, it was reported, was a little bit indisposed the next day. There is considerable criteria is schism in the british pret that they are partying a lot. When news breaks of margarets extravagant behavior, the queen faces a serious problem. In the 1960s, The Royal Family are funded through a public payment, essentially tax pair money that is reallocated to the royals. And they start wondering, are we getting value from money to the royal familiar. The royal family is having some image problems. By 1968, the queen understands she needs to transform Public Perception of the monarchy. She approves the filming of a documentary about her family. Elizabeth, phillip, charles, and andrew and edward will be the subject of a Television Special following them over the course of a year. The idea of a Fly On The Wall documentary is seen as a good way for The Royal Family to demonstrate they are an ordinary royal family and that the royals were valued for money. Phillip encourages the whole thing. I have terrible trouble in keeping short body, long arms. And i had the most appalling couple. This is an intimate glimpse of The Royal Family.
