hiding behind a door.

up to me after dinner,
we had a big dance,

"Oh, all right."

53

to come cause we've got
Prince of Wales staying

you might amuse him."

58
00:03:52,958 --> 00:03:54,833
And so I said, "Ok."

59
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:57,583
The first night we
sat down on the veil
and I said, you know,

60
00:03:57,583 --> 00:04:01,458

you walked up the aisle

61
00:04:01,458 --> 00:04:05,208
at St. Paul's with Lord
Mountbatten's funeral."

62
00:04:08,833 --> 00:04:10,708
And I said, "My heart
bled when I watched it.

63
00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:13,208
I thought this is
wrong you're lonely.

to look after you, et cetera."

65
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:20,417
And the next minute he
leapt on my, practically.

66
00:04:21,792 --> 00:04:25,583
And it was very
strange cause it was
almost as if, like a,

67
00:04:25,583 --> 00:04:28,125
it wasn't a magnet effect.

68
00:04:28,125 --> 00:04:29,417
I thought, well,
this isn't very cool.

69
00:04:29,583 --> 00:04:31,875
I thought men were
supposed to not be so obvious.

70

But I hadn't got anything
to go by because I had
never had a boyfriend.

71
00:04:36,083 --> 00:04:37,833
I'd always kept them away.

72
00:04:37,958 --> 00:04:40,708
Thought they were all trouble,
and I couldn't handle it.

73
00:04:41,208 --> 00:04:43,583
Emotionally, I was very
screwed up, I thought.

74
00:04:47,083 --> 00:04:49,458
And he said, "Oh, you
must come to London
with me tomorrow.

75
00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:51,292
I've got to go and
work at Buckingham Palace."

76
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:52,792
I thought,
this is too much.

77
00:04:52,792 --> 00:04:55,292
I said, "No, I
can't, I'm sorry."

78
00:04:56,125 --> 00:04:58,292
I thought, how will
I explain my presence
at Buckingham Palace

79
00:04:58,292 --> 00:05:00,458
when I'm supposed to
be staying with Philip?

80
00:05:02,083 --> 00:05:04,292
And then it sort of
built up from there.

81
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:07,375
Charles used to ring me
up and say, "Would you
like to come for a walk?

82
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:10,042
Would you like to
come for a barbecue?"

83
00:05:10,042 --> 00:05:12,000
So I said, "Yes, please."

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,542
I thought this
was all wonderful.

85
00:05:25,333 --> 00:05:28,833
-A lot of admiration
for an episode on the
riverbank at Balmoral when

86
00:05:28,958 --> 00:05:31,667
you looked at the
press through your mirror.

87
00:05:31,833 --> 00:05:34,167
Did you know that
was going to happen?

88
00:05:34,458 --> 00:05:36,833
-No, I saw them appearing
from the other side.

89
00:05:38,458 --> 00:05:40,042
So I said to Charles,
"I must get out of the way.

90
00:05:42,667 --> 00:05:44,792
You don't need
any aggravation."

91
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,917
So I went up, up, up, up
to the bank and say behind a
tree for a good half an hour.

92
00:05:54,042 --> 00:05:56,792
And then the
press seized upon it.

93
00:06:00,708 --> 00:06:04,333
-Lady Diana was back at the
Pimlico kindergarten where
she teaches this morning.

94
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:08,208
But, polite as ever,
she was saying nothing
about her weekend with

95
00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:11,417
Prince Charles
at Sandringham to the
assembled press corps.

96
00:06:12,042 --> 00:06:14,542
She drove off in her brand
new Mini Metro with a smile.

97
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:18,458
I managed to have a word
with her later, outside
her Kensington flat.

98
00:06:19,333 --> 00:06:22,917
Is it any possibility that
any announcement of your
marriage in the near future,

99
00:06:22,917 --> 00:06:25,208
can you tell me?

100
00:06:26,542 --> 00:06:28,917
Can you tell me if
there's any possibility?

101
00:06:29,417 --> 00:06:31,708
-I'm not going to say anything.

102
00:06:32,042 --> 00:06:33,542
-Prince Charles
did give us a hint himself.

103
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:35,417
He said we wouldn't
have to wait too long.

104
00:06:35,542 --> 00:06:37,667
-Careful!

105
00:06:37,792 --> 00:06:39,833
-He said we wouldn't
have to wait too long.

106
00:06:39,833 --> 00:06:42,833
Was he completely off beam?

107
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:44,208
Was he?

108
00:06:44,333 --> 00:06:45,583
-Sorry, I, sorry.

109
00:06:45,583 --> 00:06:47,583
-Was he completely off beam
when he said we wouldn't
have to wait too long?

110
00:06:48,083 --> 00:06:49,208
-I wouldn't know.

111
00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:51,958
-Prince Charles of Britain
is perhaps the world's
most eligible bachelor,

112
00:06:52,708 --> 00:06:56,333
early 30s, handsome,
rich, and the heir
to the British throne.

113
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:59,833
London was full of rumors
this week that he may now
be about to take a bride.

114
00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:04,125
The photographers are
trailing Lady Diana Spencer,
19 years old,

115
00:07:04,917 --> 00:07:07,083
daughter of the
8th Earl of Spencer.

116
00:07:07,208 --> 00:07:10,500
She fits the qualifications,
aristocratic, good
looking, and well heeled.

117
00:07:13,417 --> 00:07:17,083
-She is said to be
besotted by him, and that,
in the Queen's English,

118
00:07:17,083 --> 00:07:19,333
I presume
means she's in love.

119
00:07:19,333 --> 00:07:23,333
Sweet, kind, nice,
and shy are all the terms
used to describe her.

120
00:07:24,042 --> 00:07:26,458
A girl born to be Queen.

121
00:07:26,542 --> 00:07:28,958
Ideal for the most eligible
bachelor in the western world.

122
00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:33,833
Even the Queen, we're told,
thinks she's delightful,

123
00:07:33,958 --> 00:07:36,083
and that is as good as
saying that mother approves.

124
00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:37,458
Her pedigree is perfect.

125
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:39,208
Her father is the
eighth Earl Spencer,

126
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:41,458
a wealthy landowner
who farms 15,000 acres

127
00:07:41,583 --> 00:07:44,083
in the heart of the
Northamptonshire countryside.

128
00:07:44,083 --> 00:07:47,083
The family link with
the royal family dates back
to Queen Victoria's reign

129
00:07:47,167 --> 00:07:48,792
and before.

130
00:07:48,917 --> 00:07:51,500
-Have you ever had feedback
on who you first spoke
to or what you first...

131
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,667
-No, nothing like that.

132
00:07:53,792 --> 00:07:55,042
I was born at home.

133
00:07:55,167 --> 00:07:56,292
I wasn't born in hospital.

134
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,792
I was born at my mother's.

135
00:08:00,292 --> 00:08:03,708
-Your first memory
after being born?

136
00:08:03,833 --> 00:08:05,708
Anything as a child.

137
00:08:05,708 --> 00:08:08,083
-It's really the smell
of the inside of my pram.

138
00:08:08,167 --> 00:08:09,958
-Right, you
remember that vividly?

139
00:08:09,958 --> 00:08:11,958
-Yes, very, yes.

140
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:12,958
-What did it smell of?

141
00:08:13,042 --> 00:08:15,083
-I don't, just plastic.

142
00:08:15,167 --> 00:08:16,208
The hood.

143
00:08:16,292 --> 00:08:21,167
Yes, probably.

144
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:26,000
We were always
shunted over to Sandringham
for holidays to go and see

145
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,833
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,
the film.

146
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
And we hated it so much.

147
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,208
We hated going over there.

148
00:08:31,208 --> 00:08:33,708
The atmosphere was always
very strange when we went
there and I used to kick

149
00:08:33,833 --> 00:08:36,833
and fight anyone who tried
to make us go over there.

150
00:08:38,042 --> 00:08:40,500
And Daddy was most
insistent because he
said it was rude.

151
00:08:40,583 --> 00:08:43,125
And I said, I don't want to
see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
for the third year running.

152
00:08:45,375 --> 00:08:46,750
-Children's parties.

153
00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:48,000
Do you remember any of them?

154
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,375
-Yeah, I hated them.

155
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:51,875
I've always hated
parties and that's, you know,

156
00:08:51,958 --> 00:08:53,125
that's why I've
never had them on my own.

157
00:08:53,208 --> 00:08:54,375
Daddy loves parties.

158
00:08:54,375 --> 00:08:55,250
-Right.

159
00:08:55,333 --> 00:08:57,500
-And organized it and
took great pride in that.

160
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:01,208
But there was still none
of the arms around the
shoulder, or the hugging.

161
00:09:01,333 --> 00:09:02,875
It was always
the other things.

162
00:09:02,958 --> 00:09:04,833
Which was probably
what he had too.

163
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,708
I mean, yeah, it was
a very unhappy childhood.

164
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:14,208
Parents were busy
sorting themselves out.

165
00:09:16,375 --> 00:09:18,875
Always seeing
our mother crying.

166
00:09:19,708 --> 00:09:21,917
Daddy never spoke
to us about it.

167
00:09:22,583 --> 00:09:24,500
We could never ask questions.

168
00:09:25,125 --> 00:09:27,000
Too many
changeover of nannies.

169
00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:30,083
Very unstable,
the whole thing.

170
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:32,500
I just remember being...

171
00:09:32,625 --> 00:09:33,750
INTERVIEWER:
Generally unhappy.

172
00:09:33,750 --> 00:09:36,750
-Generally unhappy,
and being very detached
from everybody else.

173
00:09:38,458 --> 00:09:40,208
-How did you first
know about the divorce?

174
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:43,083
-I remember seeing my
father slap my mother
across the face,

175
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,917
and I was hiding
behind the door.

176
00:09:44,917 --> 00:09:47,083
And she was crying.

177
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:49,917
And I remember
Mommy cried an awful lot.

178
00:09:49,917 --> 00:09:52,458
And every Saturday,
when we went up for weekends,
every Saturday night,

179
00:09:52,583 --> 00:09:55,417
standard procedure, she'd
start crying on Saturday.

180
00:09:59,167 --> 00:10:00,083
We would both
see her crying.

181
00:10:00,167 --> 00:10:01,250
"What's the matter, Mummy?"

182
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:02,833
"Oh, I don't want
you to leave tomorrow."

183
00:10:02,958 --> 00:10:08,208
Which, for a nine-year-old,
was devastating, you know?

184
00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:15,750
And for my brother and I it
was very sort of wishy-washy
but painful experience,

185
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:20,375
and he said to me the
other day that he hadn't
realized just how much

186
00:10:20,458 --> 00:10:23,958
the divorce affected him until
he got married and started
having a life of his own.

187
00:10:26,625 --> 00:10:28,625
-She was educated privately
at Riddlesworth Hall,

188
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:31,625
and then at Westheath
School in Sevenoaks.

189
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:34,750
-When she was 13,
she really developed
her sporting talents,

190
00:10:34,750 --> 00:10:37,333
particularly diving.

191
00:10:38,958 --> 00:10:41,333
DIANA: I liked all subjects.

192
00:10:41,458 --> 00:10:42,625
I played the piano.

193
00:10:42,625 --> 00:10:44,458
Loved the piano.

194
00:10:44,458 --> 00:10:46,625
I did my tap dancing,
which I absolutely adored.

195
00:10:47,958 --> 00:10:51,125
There was an enormous hall
there which they built
on just after I got there.

196
00:10:52,208 --> 00:10:55,750
I used to sneak down
at night when it was all
dark and put on my music

197
00:10:55,875 --> 00:10:58,708
and do my ballet there in
this enormous hall for hours.

198
00:11:00,083 --> 00:11:02,333
And no one ever found me.

199
00:11:02,583 --> 00:11:04,333
But actually, I
loved being at school.

200
00:11:04,333 --> 00:11:08,000
I was very naughty
in the sense of always
wanting to laugh and

201
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,667
muck about rather
than sit tight in a
four-walled school room.

202
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,125
-As a child, any ideas
of futures or ambitions?

203
00:11:17,125 --> 00:11:22,042
-No, but always felt
very different from everyone
else, very detached.

204
00:11:22,042 --> 00:11:24,583
Knew I was going
somewhere different.

205
00:11:24,583 --> 00:11:27,083
I had no idea where.

206
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:29,375
And said to my father when
I was the age of thirteen,

207
00:11:29,458 --> 00:11:31,500
"I know I'm going to marry
someone in the public eye."

208
00:11:31,583 --> 00:11:32,625
I don't know which way.

209
00:11:32,750 --> 00:11:33,750
-At thirteen?

210
00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:36,375
-Yes, thinking an
ambassador's wife, actually.

211
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,875
Not the top one.

212
00:11:40,375 --> 00:11:44,625
-Since leaving school, she
has lived in a 100,000 pound
flat in South Kensington

213
00:11:44,625 --> 00:11:47,125
given to her by her father.

214
00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:49,875
-It was nice being in a
flat with girls, loved that.

215
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,708
It was great.

216
00:11:50,833 --> 00:11:52,833
Laughed my head off there.

217
00:11:55,583 --> 00:11:57,583
My three girls were wonderful.

218
00:11:57,708 --> 00:12:01,208
Star performers,
loyalty beyond belief.

219
00:12:01,208 --> 00:12:02,708
I kept myself to myself.

220
00:12:02,792 --> 00:12:05,083
I wasn't interested
in having a full diary.

221
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:08,375
-And she works part time
at a nursery in Pimlico.

222
00:12:11,583 --> 00:12:14,625
-From the minute she
walked in, you could tell
that she had a genuine love

223
00:12:14,708 --> 00:12:17,125
for young children,
particularly
the very small ones.

224
00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:21,625
She was just always
there, if ever a child
was looking miserable,

225
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:25,250
she was the one who
would go and pick them
up and comfort them.

226
00:12:26,333 --> 00:12:30,083
-It didn't seem to be quite
the life for a future Queen,
but one man can testify that

227
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:33,000
Lady Diana may only
have been biding her time.

228
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:37,917
Ray Hunt services the family's
electrical and film equipment,
and he remembers something

229
00:12:37,917 --> 00:12:40,458
prophetic she told him at
her sister Jane's wedding.

230
00:12:42,208 --> 00:12:46,750
-She did say to me,
"Nothing like this
for me, right?"

231
00:12:46,958 --> 00:12:50,083
She said, "Westminster
Abbey or nothing."

232
00:12:50,333 --> 00:12:51,458
And I said,
"You're joking, Diana."

233
00:12:51,583 --> 00:12:53,875
And she said,
"Not really."

234
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:58,500
DIANA: By the time I got to the
top of the school, all my
friends had boyfriends.

235
00:12:58,583 --> 00:13:03,125
But not me cause
I knew somehow I had to
keep myself very tidy for

236
00:13:03,208 --> 00:13:05,750
whatever was
coming my way.

237
00:13:08,958 --> 00:13:14,125
-Many speak of her as a
happy but quiet girl, and
her father, her uncle,

238
00:13:14,208 --> 00:13:17,750
Lord Fermoy, and
others have even vouched
for her virginity.

239
00:13:18,292 --> 00:13:20,833
Lord Fermoy stating
categorically, and I quote,

240
00:13:20,958 --> 00:13:23,083
"I can assure you
she has never had a lover."

241
00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:25,625
-How well are you coping
with all the press attention?

242
00:13:26,167 --> 00:13:27,833
-Well, as you can see.

243
00:13:27,833 --> 00:13:29,208
You can tell.

244
00:13:29,333 --> 00:13:31,667
-Are you bearing up with it
quite well though because it
must be quite a strain with

245
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,167
all of us after you.

246
00:13:33,167 --> 00:13:35,458
-Well, it is, naturally.

247
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:39,125
-Any chases involving
the media in the car?

248
00:13:39,125 --> 00:13:41,833
-Oh, lots of them.

249
00:13:43,625 --> 00:13:46,583
But I always made sure
that I went through just as
the light was going to red.

250
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,833
So they were very stuck.

251
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,833
Some days I cycled,
some days I didn't.

252
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:54,250
-Did they chase
you on the bike?

253
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,583
-Oh, they chased
me everywhere.

254
00:13:56,667 --> 00:13:58,125
We're talking about
thirty of them.

255
00:13:58,125 --> 00:14:00,458
We're not talking about two.

256
00:14:04,333 --> 00:14:08,583
-Prince Charles has
had a few relationships
that we all know about,

257
00:14:08,583 --> 00:14:12,333
and he is looking for
somebody that he can live
with who will be Queen,

258
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:16,125
who will fulfill her duties,
and everyone who knows him
says that he's very tired

259
00:14:16,208 --> 00:14:20,000
indeed of being pursued
endlessly and being
asked endlessly when

260
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
he's going to marry,
and who he's going to marry.

261
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:26,000
-For a girl of 19, it was
a necessary demonstration
of just how great

262
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,500
are the pressures of living
constantly in the public eye.

263
00:14:29,625 --> 00:14:31,750
But she handled the problem
with cheerful good nature.

264
00:14:32,958 --> 00:14:34,500
-Between the two of you.

265
00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:37,000
Can you say if we're likely
to hear the announcement soon?

266
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,125
-Lady Diana.

267
00:14:39,125 --> 00:14:41,083
Lady Diana.

268
00:14:41,208 --> 00:14:44,375
-We thought there was
going to be an announcement
on his 32nd birthday,

269
00:14:44,375 --> 00:14:50,208
but there wasn't, and
he told reporters yesterday
that it may be coming soon.

270
00:14:50,583 --> 00:14:52,458
Have you any comment
to make about that?

271
00:14:52,542 --> 00:14:56,542
-No.
-No comment, all round.

272
00:14:58,375 --> 00:15:00,625
Did you have a
good weekend though?

273
00:15:00,958 --> 00:15:02,958
-I'm going to work now.

274
00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:08,625
-The view is that her age is
about right, being 19,
because it's unlikely

275
00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:14,250
that any ex-boyfriends would
be ringing up those well-known
newspapers with scandals

276
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:17,583
of this or that in future
years if she is indeed
going to be the Queen.

277
00:15:19,083 --> 00:15:23,250
And they say that it's
useful that she's so young
because of childbearing,

278
00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:25,750
to put it very simply.

279
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:28,792
People seem to forget,
western society,
we marry for love.

280
00:15:28,792 --> 00:15:31,083
But when we talk about
the royalty that never
seems to enter it.

281
00:15:38,833 --> 00:15:42,708
DIANA: Charles rang me up from
Klosters saying, "I've
got something to ask you."

282
00:15:45,833 --> 00:15:49,750
Instinct in a female,
you know what's coming.

283
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,125
Anyway, I sat
up all night with
my girls saying,

284
00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:55,000
"What do I do,
what do I say?"

285
00:15:55,458 --> 00:15:58,208
By that time I had
realized there was
somebody else around.

286
00:16:03,958 --> 00:16:07,125
I'd been staying
at Bolehyde with the
Park-Bowleses an awful lot.

287
00:16:08,792 --> 00:16:11,958
I couldn't
understand why Camilla
kept saying to me,

288
00:16:11,958 --> 00:16:13,667
"Don't do this,
don't do that."

289
00:16:17,458 --> 00:16:19,833
She knew so much about
what he was doing privately.

290
00:16:26,208 --> 00:16:29,208
Eventually I
worked it all out.

291
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:41,250
The next day I went to
Windsor, and I arrived
about 5 o'clock.

292
00:16:44,250 --> 00:16:46,333
And he sat me down and he
said, "Will you marry me?"

293
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
And I laughed.

294
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,833
I remember thinking,
this is a joke.

295
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,083
So I said, "Yeah, ok."

296
00:16:55,167 --> 00:16:56,708
And he was deadly serious.

297
00:16:56,708 --> 00:16:59,208
And he said, "You do
realize that one day
you will be Queen."

298
00:17:02,583 --> 00:17:07,125
A voice said to me inside,
"You won't be Queen, but
you'll have a tough role."

299
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:16,625
So I thought to myself, ok.

300
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:20,833
So I said, "Yes"
and I said, "I love you so
much, I love you so much."

301
00:17:21,875 --> 00:17:24,500
And he said,
"Whatever love means."

302
00:17:24,500 --> 00:17:26,375
Said it then.

303
00:17:26,458 --> 00:17:28,208
So, I
thought that was great.

304
00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:31,500
I thought he meant that.

305
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,208
-How much thought did you
really give the proposal?

306
00:17:34,375 --> 00:17:37,208
-A lot, actually.

307
00:17:37,583 --> 00:17:42,958
In my immaturity, which was
enormous, I thought that he
was very much in love with me,

308
00:17:43,375 --> 00:17:46,458
which he was, but he always
had a sort of besotted look
about him, looking back at it.

309
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:48,375
But it wasn't
the genuine sort.

310
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:50,500
You know, "Who is this
girl who's so different?"

311
00:17:50,583 --> 00:17:54,125
But he couldn't understand
it because his immaturity was
quite good in that department.

312
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,875
And it was like a
call for duty, really.

313
00:17:58,875 --> 00:18:00,875
To go and work with people.

314
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:06,583
And then it all
started to build up.

315
00:18:08,083 --> 00:18:10,292
The press were being
unbearable, following
my every move.

316
00:18:11,417 --> 00:18:15,292
-The decision by the press
council to discuss reports
of alleged harassment of Lady

317
00:18:15,292 --> 00:18:19,167
Diana have involved reporters
trailing the 19-year-old
almost continuously.

318
00:18:20,458 --> 00:18:22,958
DIANA: I understood
they had a job, but
people did not understand.

319
00:18:23,083 --> 00:18:25,958
They had binoculars
on me the whole time.

320
00:18:26,125 --> 00:18:28,750
They hired the opposite
flat in Old Brompton Road,

321
00:18:28,833 --> 00:18:31,875
which was a library
that looked into my bedroom.

322
00:18:31,958 --> 00:18:33,625
And it wasn't
fair on the girls.

323
00:18:33,625 --> 00:18:36,000
I couldn't put the
telephone off the hook in
case any of their family

324
00:18:36,083 --> 00:18:37,500
were ill overnight.

325
00:18:37,625 --> 00:18:39,875
The papers used to
ring me up at two in the
morning cause they were

326
00:18:39,958 --> 00:18:43,250
just putting
out their last story,
could I confirm it or deny?

327
00:18:44,292 --> 00:18:46,625
Whenever he rang
me up, he said, "Poor
Camilla Parker-Bowles.

328
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:50,083
I've had her on the telephone
tonight and she says there's
lots of press at Bolehyde.

329
00:18:51,625 --> 00:18:53,667
She's having a
very rough time."

330
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:55,958
And I never complained
about the press to
him because I didn't think

331
00:18:56,125 --> 00:18:58,333
it was my position to do so.

332
00:18:58,458 --> 00:19:00,208
And I said, "How many
press are out there?"

333
00:19:00,292 --> 00:19:02,208
He said, "Oh, at least four."

334
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:05,125
And I thought, my God,
there's 34 out here.

335
00:19:06,292 --> 00:19:08,500
But I never told him.

336
00:19:08,625 --> 00:19:10,250
I just couldn't cope with it.

337
00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:13,750
I got no support from
Charles and no support
from the press office.

338
00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:17,625
They just said,
"You're on your own."

339
00:19:18,083 --> 00:19:20,125
So I thought fine.

340
00:19:22,625 --> 00:19:26,667
I was able
to recognize an inner
determination to survive.

341
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:38,625
-Before I knew what happened,
I was in Clarence House.

342
00:19:39,125 --> 00:19:41,500
Nobody there to welcome me.

343
00:19:42,333 --> 00:19:44,208
It was like
going into a hotel.

344
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:46,042
And then everyone said, "Why
are you at Clarence House?"

345
00:19:46,042 --> 00:19:48,833
And I said, "Because I was
told that I was expected
to be at Clarence House."

346
00:19:49,875 --> 00:19:53,458
And I'd left my flat
from the last time, and
suddenly I had a policeman.

347
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:56,708
And my policeman
the night before the
engagement said to me,

348
00:19:57,750 --> 00:20:00,625
"I just want you to
know that this is your last
night of freedom ever in

349
00:20:00,625 --> 00:20:03,458
the rest of your life,
so make the most of it."

350
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:07,042
And it was like a
sword went in my heart.

351
00:20:07,708 --> 00:20:09,708
I thought, God.

352
00:20:12,958 --> 00:20:15,208
-Charles Philip
Arthur George Windsor,

353
00:20:15,208 --> 00:20:17,208
heir to the British
throne, Prince of Wales,

354
00:20:17,375 --> 00:20:20,375
Earl of Chester,
Duke of Cornwall, and
Great Stuart of Scotland

355
00:20:20,708 --> 00:20:22,583
has finally chosen his bride.

356
00:20:22,583 --> 00:20:26,458
She is Lady Diana Spencer, and
their engagement is the news
Britain has been waiting for.

357
00:20:33,083 --> 00:20:35,250
CARTHEW: 11:00am,
Buckingham Palace.

358
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:38,708
The beginning
of a day to remember for
Prince Charles, Lady Diana,

359
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:40,750
and for quite a lot
of other people too.

360
00:20:41,375 --> 00:20:44,000
The long-awaited,
much-written-about engagement.

361
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:48,000
There was a fair
amount of unrestrained,

362
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,500
old-fashioned happiness
in the cold February air.

363
00:20:51,875 --> 00:20:55,250
It seemed to all
of us there that Britain's
constitutional monarchy

364
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:57,375
appeared to be in
quite good health.

365
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:02,375
And for the couple
themselves in the palace,
undoubtedly a feeling of relief

366
00:21:02,458 --> 00:21:04,750
that it was all
out in the open.

367
00:21:05,167 --> 00:21:07,292
-It's good,
it's great, innit?

368
00:21:07,292 --> 00:21:11,250
Cheers everybody up, you
know, too, something like this.

369
00:21:11,333 --> 00:21:13,750
(inaudible) getting
on a bit, innit?

370
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:15,500
About time he got married.

371
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:18,750
-Immediately after
lunch, the Earl Spencer,
Lady Diana's father,

372
00:21:18,750 --> 00:21:21,208
most surprisingly appeared
in the middle of the crowd.

373
00:21:22,958 --> 00:21:25,125
His object, he said,
was to take happy
snaps of the palace.

374
00:21:26,750 --> 00:21:27,625
RAINE: You must get her.

375
00:21:27,708 --> 00:21:29,458
We're so (inaudible).

376
00:21:29,625 --> 00:21:32,375
-He'd always done this sort
of thing on important days
in his daughter's life.

377
00:21:36,250 --> 00:21:38,792
At 3:00,
Prince Charles and
Lady Diana appeared for

378
00:21:38,792 --> 00:21:41,292
the first time in public.

380
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:06,125
Do you find it a very
daunting experience that
yesterday you were a nanny

381
00:22:06,250 --> 00:22:12,625
looking after children,
now you're about to marry
the Prince of Wales and one day,

382
00:22:12,750 --> 00:22:15,750
you would in all
likelihood be Queen?

383
00:22:16,333 --> 00:22:20,042
It's a tremendous change
for someone, if I may say,
of 19 to make all of a

384
00:22:20,042 --> 00:22:22,500
sudden, the transition.

385
00:22:22,833 --> 00:22:26,333
-It is, but I've had
a small run up to it all
in the last six months

386
00:22:27,708 --> 00:22:30,042
and next to Prince Charles,
I know I can't go wrong.

387
00:22:30,833 --> 00:22:32,208
He's there with me.

388
00:22:32,333 --> 00:22:35,708
-I'm amazed that
she's been brave
enough to take me on.

389
00:22:37,125 --> 00:22:40,000
-And, I suppose, in love.
-Of course.

390
00:22:41,250 --> 00:22:43,625
-Whatever "in love" means.

391
00:22:43,833 --> 00:22:45,250
You can put your
own interpretation.

392
00:22:45,375 --> 00:22:46,875
-Obviously, it means
two very happy people.

393
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,625
-Yes.
-As you can see.

394
00:22:48,625 --> 00:22:49,875
-Well, from us,
congratulations.

395
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
BOTH (overlapping): Thank
you very much, very kind.

396
00:22:57,958 --> 00:23:00,625
-The gilded surroundings of
the Goldsmith's Hall in the city

397
00:23:00,625 --> 00:23:04,542
of London were chosen quite
deliberately by the palace in
order to show Lady Diana off

398
00:23:04,542 --> 00:23:06,917
to the best advantage for
her first public appearance.

399
00:23:09,875 --> 00:23:11,958
-Do you remember what
your first ever memory was?

400
00:23:12,083 --> 00:23:13,208
DIANA: In this life?

401
00:23:13,208 --> 00:23:14,375
-Yes.

402
00:23:14,458 --> 00:23:18,208
-Yeah, I remember my
first engagement so well.

403
00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:20,750
I remember being so excited.

404
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:23,083
I got this black
dress from Emanuel's.

405
00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:25,500
-It was in black taffeta.

406
00:23:25,625 --> 00:23:28,750
It was off-the-shoulder and
by normal royal standards,
it was fairly revealing.

407
00:23:30,583 --> 00:23:33,750
DIANA: I thought it
was ok cause girls my
age wore this.

408
00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:38,083
I hadn't appreciated that
I was now seen as a royal
lady, although I'd only got a

409
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:40,708
ring on my finger as
opposed to two rings.

410
00:23:41,083 --> 00:23:44,750
And I remember walking into
my husband-to-be's study
and saying, "I'm ready."

411
00:23:45,417 --> 00:23:48,250
And he said, "You're not
going in that dress, are you?"

412
00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:50,833
And I said, "Yes, I am."

413
00:23:51,458 --> 00:23:53,083
He said, "It's black."

414
00:23:53,167 --> 00:23:54,583
I said, "Yes, it's black."

415
00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:56,667
"But only people in
mourning wear black."

416
00:23:56,833 --> 00:23:58,458
And I said, "Yes, but I'm
not part of your family yet."

417
00:23:59,583 --> 00:24:02,375
Black to me was the smartest
color you could possibly
have at the age of 19.

418
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:04,458
It was a real grown up dress.

419
00:24:05,375 --> 00:24:07,750
-She looked pretty
relaxed, considering this
must have been something

420
00:24:07,875 --> 00:24:10,125
of an ordeal for her.

421
00:24:10,333 --> 00:24:14,375
DIANA: And I was quite
big-chested then, and they
all got frightfully excited.

422
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:18,458
I learned a lesson that night.

423
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:21,458
I remember meeting
Princess Grace.

424
00:24:21,625 --> 00:24:23,792
-One of the performers was
Princess Grace of Monaco.

425
00:24:24,792 --> 00:24:27,667
She, of course, is
very experienced at
this sort of occasion,

426
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,958
and the often-tricky
business of making small talk.

427
00:24:31,625 --> 00:24:35,208
She also knows how to give
a helping hand to a newcomer,

428
00:24:35,792 --> 00:24:37,625
and how to pose
for the cameras,

429
00:24:37,958 --> 00:24:39,958
which Lady Diana
is now learning.

430
00:24:44,125 --> 00:24:47,208
DIANA: I didn't know whether
to get out of the door first.

431
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:50,250
I didn't know if your
handbag should be carried
in your left hand,

432
00:24:50,375 --> 00:24:52,250
not your right hand.

433
00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:56,333
Everything was
all over the place.

434
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,333
I remember that
evening so well.

435
00:24:59,625 --> 00:25:01,333
I was terrified.

436
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,583
Nearly sick.

437
00:25:05,667 --> 00:25:08,458
-At the end, something
else Lady Diana is going
to have to get used to...

438
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,333
the fusillade of
camera flashbulbs.

MANGOLD: After
the royal wedding and
honeymoon this summer,

440
00:25:24,083 --> 00:25:27,375
Prince Charles will bring
his 19-year-old bride here to

441
00:25:27,375 --> 00:25:29,333
Highgrove in Gloucestershire.

442
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:33,500
This is the 18th century
manner house bought last
summer by the duchy of

443
00:25:33,583 --> 00:25:35,833
Cornwall for one
million pounds.

444
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,708
Prince Charles's
neighbors living a mile away
in Tetbury were as pleased

445
00:25:40,833 --> 00:25:43,958
as the prince himself
must be at the prospect
of a royal wedding at last.

446
00:25:45,208 --> 00:25:47,125
-I was absolutely overcome.

447
00:25:47,208 --> 00:25:49,208
I'm very, very
pleased for them.

448
00:25:49,375 --> 00:25:52,375
And I feel like going
out and getting a
card and sending it,

449
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:54,875
actually, but it's
probably a bit silly.

450
00:25:57,875 --> 00:25:59,792
-I think they're a
really super couple.

451
00:26:00,083 --> 00:26:02,708
You know, they'd have a
lovely sort of life round here
if they do sort of live in

452
00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:04,458
Highgrove most of the time.

453
00:26:04,583 --> 00:26:07,375
It's really
smashing, so romantic.

454
00:26:07,958 --> 00:26:11,875
And I think really when the
country's so, everyone's so
depressed and everything,

455
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,125
I think really it's nice
to sort of cheer everybody
up with a lovely wedding

456
00:26:15,125 --> 00:26:16,625
in the summer, hopefully.

457
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:18,625
You know, so, what
more can you say?

458
00:26:18,958 --> 00:26:19,875
Smashing.

459
00:26:19,958 --> 00:26:21,833
Thanks very much.

460
00:26:26,833 --> 00:26:31,292
DIANA: When I arrived at
Clarence House there was a
letter on my bed from Camilla

461
00:26:31,292 --> 00:26:34,583
dated two days previous
saying, "Such exciting
news about the engagement.

462
00:26:36,083 --> 00:26:39,458
Do let's have lunch soon
when Prince of Wales goes to
Australia and New Zealand.

463
00:26:40,833 --> 00:26:42,458
And love to see the ring.

464
00:26:42,458 --> 00:26:45,250
Lots of love, Camilla."

465
00:26:45,333 --> 00:26:48,708
And that was, wow.

466
00:26:53,875 --> 00:26:58,250
You may recall seeing
a picture of me sobbing in
a red coat when he went off

467
00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:01,375
on his aeroplane.

468
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,625
That was nothing
to do with him going;

469
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:07,750
the most awful thing had
happened before he went.

470
00:27:07,958 --> 00:27:10,292
I was in his study
talking to him about his trip.

471
00:27:11,125 --> 00:27:15,125
The telephone rang; it was
Camilla, and, just before
he was going for five weeks.

472
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:19,250
So I thought,
"Shall I be nice, or
shall I just sit here?"

473
00:27:21,458 --> 00:27:23,292
So I thought I'd be nice,
so I left them to it.

474
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:27,167
And it just broke
my heart, that.

475
00:27:33,625 --> 00:27:40,125
So I organized lunch,
we had lunch, and very
tricky, very tricky indeed.

476
00:27:41,083 --> 00:27:42,875
She said, "You're not
going to hunt, are you?"

477
00:27:42,958 --> 00:27:44,125
I said, "No."

478
00:27:44,250 --> 00:27:47,000
"Oh, I just
wanted to know that."

479
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:51,500
But as far as she was
concerned that was
her communication.

480
00:27:52,667 --> 00:27:55,333
I was still too immature
to understand all the
messages coming my way.

481
00:27:57,542 --> 00:28:02,083
And then someone in his office
told me that my husband has
had a bracelet made for her.

482
00:28:03,708 --> 00:28:06,333
I walked into this man's
office one day and I said,
"Oh, what's in that parcel?"

483
00:28:07,042 --> 00:28:08,542
"Oh," he said, "you
shouldn't look at that."

484
00:28:08,542 --> 00:28:09,958
I said, "Well, I'm
going to look at it."

485
00:28:09,958 --> 00:28:12,625
So I opened it and
there was the bracelet.

486
00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:15,375
I was devastated.

487
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:18,125
And he said,
"Well, he's going to
give it to her tonight."

488
00:28:18,833 --> 00:28:20,875
So rage, rage, rage.

489
00:28:20,958 --> 00:28:23,375
You know, "Why can't
you be honest with me?"

490
00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:25,958
But, no, he
absolutely cut me dead.

491
00:28:26,208 --> 00:28:28,125
It was as if he's made
his decision, and if it
wasn't going to work,

492
00:28:28,208 --> 00:28:30,125
it wasn't going to work.

493
00:28:30,208 --> 00:28:34,375
He'd found the virgin, the
sacrificial lamb, and, in a
way, he was obsessed with me.

494
00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:36,208
But it was hot and
cold, hot and cold.

495
00:28:36,333 --> 00:28:39,000
You never knew what mood
it was going to be, up
and down, up and down.

496
00:28:40,375 --> 00:28:43,458
So I went upstairs, had
lunch with my sisters who
were there, and I said,

497
00:28:43,458 --> 00:28:44,708
"I can't marry him.

498
00:28:44,792 --> 00:28:45,708
I can't do this.

499
00:28:45,875 --> 00:28:47,208
This is absolutely
unbelievable."

500
00:28:47,292 --> 00:28:50,958
And they were wonderful and
said, "Well, bad luck, Duch,
you're face is on the tea towel,

501
00:28:50,958 --> 00:28:53,583
so you're too
late to chicken out."

502
00:28:54,875 --> 00:28:59,875
-Two young and loving and
happy faces are, in their
own very individual way,

503
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,583
putting a smile back
into a broken-hearted,
miserable Britain.

504
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:07,375
300 million pounds are
the spoils of their wedding.

505
00:29:07,500 --> 00:29:10,083
Lot of money, that,
300 million pounds.

506
00:29:10,708 --> 00:29:14,875
But of all the souvenirs,
of all the presents winging
their way to the happy couple,

507
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:17,417
the nicest, I think,
comes from the Black Country.

508
00:29:18,083 --> 00:29:21,708
A man who grows
four-leaf clovers is
sending them one apiece.

509
00:29:22,375 --> 00:29:26,958
He says, no matter how
much money they may
have or might have,

510
00:29:27,083 --> 00:29:30,667
they still have to
have Lady Luck riding
on their shoulders.

511
00:29:31,917 --> 00:29:33,875
How very true.

512
00:29:37,125 --> 00:29:40,250
-The Royal Family made
the traditional carriage
drive down the course

513
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:42,000
at Ascot today.

514
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,375
In the third carriage, Lady
Diana, but no Prince Charles.

515
00:29:45,375 --> 00:29:49,250
He's having an away day
on a Concorde to New York.

516
00:29:49,375 --> 00:29:51,875
As if to make up for
this, she's splurged
a bit on the fashion,

517
00:29:52,708 --> 00:29:55,625
an outfit that brought
sighs of approval from people
in the royal enclosure,

518
00:29:56,375 --> 00:29:57,792
particularly that hat.

519
00:29:59,583 --> 00:30:03,458
DIANA: The day we got engaged
I had literally one long
dress, one silk shirt,

520
00:30:03,625 --> 00:30:06,542
one smart pair of
shoes, and that was it.

521
00:30:06,708 --> 00:30:09,125
So, suddenly, my mother
and I had to go and
buy six of everything.

522
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:12,708
Bear in mind you have to
change four times a day.

523
00:30:14,125 --> 00:30:16,500
Suddenly your wardrobe expands
to something unbelievable.

524
00:30:18,375 --> 00:30:22,250
-The effect, displayed
somewhat shyly today,
suggests that Lady Diana,

525
00:30:22,333 --> 00:30:25,500
when she becomes Princess
of Wales, is going to
be a leader of fashion of the

526
00:30:25,625 --> 00:30:28,875
kind not seen in the
royal family for 50 years.

527
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:36,167
-News of Lady Diana's
visit spread quickly.

528
00:30:36,167 --> 00:30:39,833
Shoppers waited in pouring
rain while staff from
nearby offices abandoned

529
00:30:39,833 --> 00:30:42,500
work for half an hour.

530
00:30:42,625 --> 00:30:45,708
Lady Sarah Spencer was there
to give a sister's opinion
of the wedding dress.

531
00:30:46,500 --> 00:30:48,833
It's been slightly altered.

532
00:30:52,042 --> 00:30:56,958
The crowds saw that, like most
brides, Lady Diana has lost
weight as the day approaches.

533
00:30:59,375 --> 00:31:02,333
-The bulimia started the
week after we got engaged.

534
00:31:06,875 --> 00:31:10,750
My husband put his hand on
my waistline and said, "Oh, a
bit chubby here, aren't we?"

535
00:31:12,083 --> 00:31:13,875
And that triggered
off something in me.

536
00:31:15,042 --> 00:31:19,000
And I remember the first
time I made myself sick,
I was so thrilled because

537
00:31:19,125 --> 00:31:21,042
I felt like this was
the release of tension.

538
00:31:25,208 --> 00:31:28,500
The first time I got
measured for my wedding dress
I was 29 around the waist.

539
00:31:30,042 --> 00:31:32,292
The day I got married
I was 23 and a half.

540
00:31:34,208 --> 00:31:36,375
I'd shrunk into nothing.

541
00:31:52,958 --> 00:31:56,250
(inaudible announcer).

542
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:00,750
DIANA: The public side was
very different obviously
from the private side.

543
00:32:04,958 --> 00:32:08,083
The public side, they
wanted a fairy princess.

544
00:32:08,583 --> 00:32:10,583
Touch them
and everything will
turn into gold,

545
00:32:10,708 --> 00:32:12,458
and all their
worries would be forgotten.

546
00:32:13,750 --> 00:32:19,083
Little did they realize
that the individual was
crucifying herself inside

547
00:32:19,083 --> 00:32:20,625
because she didn't
think she was good enough.

548
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:21,500
"Why me?

549
00:32:21,625 --> 00:32:23,625
Why all this publicity?"

550
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:26,250
-I think she saw all
the press around her, all
the television crews from

551
00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:27,375
all around the world.

552
00:32:27,458 --> 00:32:29,750
Probably went though
her mind about the big
day next Wednesday.

553
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:32,250
It's also her third
public engagement in two days.

554
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:36,125
I just think she
was surrounded, she
felt claustrophobic,

555
00:32:36,208 --> 00:32:37,750
and she felt
she had to move.

556
00:32:38,875 --> 00:32:40,375
-A lot of press today.

557
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:42,750
Very many more, of
course, next Wednesday.

558
00:32:42,875 --> 00:32:44,125
How will she cope on that?

559
00:32:44,125 --> 00:32:45,625
-I think she'll cope
magnificently Wednesday,

560
00:32:45,625 --> 00:32:46,958
I think it's
just a little lapse.

561
00:32:47,125 --> 00:32:49,292
Bit of pre-wedding nerves.

562
00:32:52,625 --> 00:32:54,833
CHARLES: It's not much
fun, actually, watching polo,

563
00:32:54,958 --> 00:32:57,958
when you're being
surrounded by people
with very long lenses,

564
00:32:58,042 --> 00:33:00,667
poking in from all directions
at you the entire time.

565
00:33:00,958 --> 00:33:06,708
And then taking a photograph,
which is quite easy to do,
and saying, "Looking bored."

566
00:33:07,958 --> 00:33:12,625
And I think all
this adds up to a certain
amount of strain each time.

567
00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:16,875
Yes, I would only hope
that after we get married,
it will be a bit easier to

568
00:33:16,875 --> 00:33:20,667
come to a polo match without
this kind of, you know,
intensity of interest.

569
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:26,333
(bells ringing)

570
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:32,625
DIANA: We got married on
Wednesday, and on the Monday
we'd gone to St. Paul's for

571
00:33:32,708 --> 00:33:39,000
our last rehearsal,
and that's when all the
camera lights were on full.

572
00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:43,375
And I sobbed my eyes out,
absolutely collapsed.

573
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:46,875
And it was collapsing
because of all sorts of things.

574
00:33:47,625 --> 00:33:50,250
The Camilla thing rearing
its head the whole way
through our engagement,

575
00:33:52,083 --> 00:33:55,083
and I was desperately
trying to be mature
about the situation,

576
00:33:55,958 --> 00:33:57,875
but I didn't have
the foundation to do it,

577
00:33:58,958 --> 00:34:01,125
and I couldn't
talk to anyone about it.

578
00:34:02,208 --> 00:34:05,125
-Lady Diana, meeting
so many people is
still quite new to you.

579
00:34:05,458 --> 00:34:07,708
How have you reacted to
this warmth and affection?

580
00:34:08,375 --> 00:34:12,875
-Well, it's been a
tremendous boost, and just
a mass of smiling faces.

581
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,042
It's wonderful.

582
00:34:15,042 --> 00:34:16,000
-Quite emotional, too.

583
00:34:16,083 --> 00:34:16,958
-Oh, very.

584
00:34:17,083 --> 00:34:18,458
Very, yes.

585
00:34:18,542 --> 00:34:20,958
-One thing that I know
St. Paul's have done to make
it, from their point of view,

586
00:34:20,958 --> 00:34:25,375
very personal, they were
telling me that where you're
going to make your vows,

587
00:34:25,458 --> 00:34:28,750
they've made a platform
so that at least you can feel
that you're together and alone

588
00:34:28,875 --> 00:34:33,500
because I think everyone would
agree, when you make your
vows, that's the most solemn,

589
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:36,458
the most precious and
a very personal moment.

590
00:34:37,125 --> 00:34:40,500
Is it going to be that
for you, even though you
know the eyes of the world

591
00:34:40,625 --> 00:34:44,083
are watching you at
that very important moment?

592
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,500
-Well, I hope so, yes.

593
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:52,958
I don't know about Diana,
but I'm more used to
it I think probably now,

594
00:34:53,208 --> 00:34:58,583
knowing for years
that the camera's poking
at you from every quarter

595
00:34:58,750 --> 00:35:02,417
and recording
every twitch you make.

596
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,958
So you can get used
to a certain extent,
and on those occasions,

597
00:35:05,958 --> 00:35:08,083
you accept that
that's part of it.

598
00:35:08,208 --> 00:35:13,750
I think that if you don't
try to work out in your own
mind some kind of method for

599
00:35:13,750 --> 00:35:18,583
existing and surviving
this kind of thing, you
would go mad, I think.

600
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:21,000
I don't know, do you
find that after the
last six months,

601
00:35:21,083 --> 00:35:22,375
you're beginning
to get used to it?

602
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,250
-Just.

603
00:35:24,375 --> 00:35:26,625
-It is, I suppose, one
of the most important things
you're going to have to

604
00:35:26,750 --> 00:35:27,750
adjust to really, isn't it?

605
00:35:27,875 --> 00:35:30,125
-Well, of course, yes.

606
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:31,833
-And Prince Charles
has been a great
help to you in that,

607
00:35:31,958 --> 00:35:32,833
I should think.

608
00:35:32,958 --> 00:35:34,958
-Marvelous, a
tower of strength.

609
00:35:34,958 --> 00:35:36,250
-Gracious.

610
00:35:36,333 --> 00:35:38,667
-I had to say that
because you're sitting there.

611
00:35:39,292 --> 00:35:41,708
-I'm sure you would anyway.

612
00:35:43,333 --> 00:35:46,333
-I remember my husband
sent me a very nice signet
ring the night before to

613
00:35:46,333 --> 00:35:50,500
Clarence House with the
Prince of Wales feathers on it,
and a very nice card that said,

614
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:53,625
"I'm so proud of you.

615
00:35:53,625 --> 00:35:55,750
I'll be there at the
altar for you tomorrow.

616
00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:58,000
Just look em in the
eye and knock em dead."

617
00:35:59,958 --> 00:36:02,083
I had a very bad fit of
bulimia the night before.

618
00:36:02,625 --> 00:36:06,625
I ate everything I could
possibly find, which amused my
sister because she was staying

619
00:36:06,750 --> 00:36:10,833
at Clarence House with
me, and nobody understood
what was going on there.

620
00:36:11,250 --> 00:36:12,958
It was sort of hush-hush.

621
00:36:13,542 --> 00:36:15,208
I was sick as a
parrot that night,

622
00:36:15,208 --> 00:36:17,125
and it was such an indication
of what was going on.

623
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,583
Next morning when we were
getting up at Clarence House.

624
00:36:21,583 --> 00:36:24,083
I must have been
awake about five.

625
00:36:24,167 --> 00:36:26,500
And I was very,
very deathly calm.

626
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:29,083
Deathly, deathly calm.

627
00:36:29,208 --> 00:36:32,875
I felt I was a lamb to the
slaughter, and I knew it.

628
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,833
(bugle).

629
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:46,708
-At the household cavalry
barracks, horses were awakened
and mucking out began in

630
00:36:46,708 --> 00:36:51,333
preparation for a day for
which both men and horses had
been practicing for weeks.

631
00:36:58,375 --> 00:37:00,708
Along the route, both crowds
and excitement were building.

632
00:37:01,708 --> 00:37:05,958
By 8:00, police
estimated 900,000 people were
already out in central London.

633
00:37:09,458 --> 00:37:13,625
Before he left home, Lord
Spencer, the proudest of men
today, wanted a few words.

634
00:37:14,083 --> 00:37:15,250
SPENCER: I'd just
like to say a word.

635
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:16,250
May I say a word?

636
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:22,208
The Spencers have, through
the centuries, fought for
their king and country.

637
00:37:24,125 --> 00:37:30,208
Today, Diana is vying
to help her country for
the rest of her life.

638
00:37:31,083 --> 00:37:33,583
She'll be following in the
tradition of her ancestors,

639
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:37,583
and she will have at
her side the man she loves.

640
00:37:41,292 --> 00:37:44,917
-And then, just after
half past ten, from Clarence
House, came the glass trench,

641
00:37:45,833 --> 00:37:49,458
and our first chance
to see Lady Diana,
dress half-glimpsed,

642
00:37:49,583 --> 00:37:52,083
veil tantalizingly low.

643
00:37:59,875 --> 00:38:03,750
And so, Lady Diana
in her truly stunning dress
is well and truly launched

644
00:38:03,750 --> 00:38:05,625
on her way to the cathedral.

645
00:38:05,708 --> 00:38:08,750
Course this is the moment
where she could exercise
the traditional bride's

646
00:38:08,750 --> 00:38:11,750

late, but, somehow,
I don't think she will.

anything to you in the coach?

00:38:15,208 --> 00:38:17,625
-No, he was so thrilled.

649
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:20,292
Waved himself stupid.

650
00:38:20,292 --> 00:38:23,250
We went past St. Martin's
in the Field, and he thought
we were at St. Paul's,

651
00:38:23,333 --> 00:38:25,750
so he was ready to get out.

652
00:38:26,167 --> 00:38:28,333
It was wonderful, that.

653
00:38:30,333 --> 00:38:31,833
I don't think I was happy.

654
00:38:31,958 --> 00:38:38,625
I think I was, I never
tried to call it off in the
sense of really doing that,

655
00:38:38,708 --> 00:38:43,125

658
00:39:09,917 --> 00:39:13,708
I cried a lot on the Monday
when we'd done the rehearsal
because the tension suddenly

659
00:39:13,833 --> 00:39:19,875
hit me, but by Wednesday I
was fine, and I had to get my
father basically up the aisle,

so that's what I
concentrated on.

661

And I remember
being terribly worried
curtsying to the Queen.

662
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:44,042
Walking down the aisle,
I spotted Camilla, pale grey,
veiled hat, pillbox hat.

00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:47,583
Saw it all.

664

I couldn't take

687

I just absolutely thought
I was the luckiest

So every lunchtime or
dinnertime, when we were
allowed to be on our own,

741
00:45:37,875 --> 00:45:39,750
we were supposed
to read them.

742
00:45:39,750 --> 00:45:41,500

honeymoon has really started.

Actually, it gets more
like a romantic novel

749
00:46:12,583 --> 00:46:16,000
All the old
clichés come to mind, like
"And so we say farewell,"

750
00:46:16,125 --> 00:46:18,000
and "At last,
we're alone, darling."

751

DIANA: We were opening
our diaries to discuss
various things;

out comes two
pictures of Camilla.

753
00:46:27,625 --> 00:46:29,250
And on our honeymoon,

754
00:46:29,375 --> 00:46:31,750
cufflinks arrive
on his wrists.

755
00:46:31,875 --> 00:46:33,750
Two C's entwined,
like the Chanel C's.

756
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:37,125
Got it in one, knew exactly.

757
00:46:37,125 --> 00:46:39,125
So I said, "Camilla
gave you those, didn't she."

758
00:46:39,250 --> 00:46:40,333
He said, "Yes,
so what's wrong?

759
00:46:40,458 --> 00:46:43,125
They're a present
from a friend."

760
00:46:43,250 --> 00:46:45,292
And boy,
did we have a row.

761
00:46:45,292 --> 00:46:46,458
Jealousy.

762
00:46:46,458 --> 00:46:48,125
Total jealousy.

763
00:46:48,125 --> 00:46:49,958
And it's such a
good idea, the two C's.

764
00:46:49,958 --> 00:46:52,458
But it wasn't that clever.

765
00:46:54,208 --> 00:46:56,250
By then the
bulimia was appalling.

766
00:46:56,375 --> 00:46:59,000
Absolutely appalling,
it was rife, it was four
times a day on the yacht.

767
00:47:03,625 --> 00:47:06,708
Anything I could find,
I would gobble up and be
sick two minutes later.

768
00:47:09,750 --> 00:47:11,875
We survived that all right.

769
00:47:12,583 --> 00:47:14,750
Then we went off to Balmoral
straight from the yacht.

770
00:47:21,708 --> 00:47:23,500
Everyone was
there to welcome us.

771
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:25,833
And then the
realization set in.

772
00:47:28,542 --> 00:47:30,833
My dreams were
appalling at night.

773
00:47:30,917 --> 00:47:33,833
I dreamt of
Camilla the whole time.

774
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,042
Everybody saw I was
getting thinner and
thinner and thinner,

775
00:47:37,792 --> 00:47:39,500
I was being sicker
and sicker and sicker.

776
00:47:42,958 --> 00:47:46,125
-May we ask, are you
having a good holiday, sir?

777
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:50,625
-Every now and then, yes.

778
00:47:55,500 --> 00:47:58,500
DIANA: Basically, they thought
I could adapt to being
Princess of Wales overnight.

779
00:48:00,375 --> 00:48:04,042
-Madam, how are you
enjoying married life?

780
00:48:04,875 --> 00:48:05,875
-It's highly recommended.

781
00:48:07,708 --> 00:48:09,583
-How do you like
Balmoral as a place?

782
00:48:09,708 --> 00:48:12,083
-It's lovely,
it's beautiful.

783
00:48:14,292 --> 00:48:16,917
-Have you cooked
a breakfast yet?

784
00:48:17,708 --> 00:48:20,125
-I don't eat breakfast.

785
00:48:24,958 --> 00:48:26,125
Obsessed by Camilla.

786
00:48:26,125 --> 00:48:27,250
Totally.

787
00:48:27,333 --> 00:48:28,750
Didn't trust him.

788
00:48:28,833 --> 00:48:30,250
Thought every five
minutes he was ringing

789
00:48:30,333 --> 00:48:33,708
up, asking her how to
handle his marriage, dadadada.

790
00:48:34,333 --> 00:48:37,333
And all the guests at
Balmoral coming to stay just
stared at me the whole time.

791
00:48:37,875 --> 00:48:40,208
And you know,
treated me like glass.

792
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,583
As far as I was
concerned, I was Diana,

793
00:48:43,375 --> 00:48:46,417
and the only difference
was people called me ma'am
now, Your Royal Highness.

794
00:48:47,250 --> 00:48:49,750
They curtsied; that
was the only difference.

795
00:48:59,333 --> 00:49:01,625
We stayed up there
from August to October.

796
00:49:06,250 --> 00:49:09,375
By October I was
about to cut my wrists.

797
00:49:11,125 --> 00:49:12,500
I was in a very bad way.

798
00:49:12,583 --> 00:49:13,750
It rained and
rained and rained.

799
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:16,250
I came down early from
Balmoral to seek treatment,

800
00:49:16,375 --> 00:49:19,375
not because I hated
Balmoral but because
I was in such a bad way.

801
00:49:26,833 --> 00:49:28,250
Couldn't sleep.

802
00:49:28,333 --> 00:49:29,958
Didn't eat.

803
00:49:30,083 --> 00:49:33,667
A whole world was
collapsing around me.

804
00:49:34,458 --> 00:49:37,667
All the analysts,
psychiatrists you'd never
dream of came plodding in,

805
00:49:37,667 --> 00:49:39,958
trying to sort me out.

806
00:49:40,042 --> 00:49:42,458
Put me on high
doses of Valium.

807
00:49:43,708 --> 00:49:45,708
It was me telling
them what I needed.

808
00:49:46,625 --> 00:49:48,500
They were telling me pills.

809
00:49:48,625 --> 00:49:49,875
Got to keep them happy.

810
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,375
They could go to bed
at night and sleep knowing
the Princess of Wales

811
00:49:52,458 --> 00:49:54,708
wasn't going to stab anyone.

812
00:49:55,375 --> 00:50:00,167
But the Diana that was
still very much there decided
that it was just time,

813
00:50:00,625 --> 00:50:03,250
patience, and adapting
were all that was needed.

814
00:50:06,333 --> 00:50:09,958
Anyway, a godsend, William
was conceived in October.

815
00:50:10,958 --> 00:50:12,500
Marvelous news.

816
00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:14,500
Occupied my mind.

817
00:50:21,083 --> 00:50:23,208
-In a way, an
odd place to arrive.

818
00:50:23,417 --> 00:50:26,250
None of the grandeur
and romance and
legend of Wales here.

819
00:50:26,375 --> 00:50:29,458
Just a little station
with one passenger waiting
for the upline train.

820
00:50:30,625 --> 00:50:33,875
There was a minimum
of formality at Shotton,
just a Lord Lieutenant and

821
00:50:33,958 --> 00:50:36,625
a Lady High Sherriff
to greet the couple.

822
00:50:36,875 --> 00:50:39,625
Beyond them the flat
outline of Shotton's
beleaguered steelworks,

823
00:50:40,125 --> 00:50:42,333
the reminder of the
problems of modern Wales.

824
00:50:50,583 --> 00:50:54,208
The Princess went
straight into an impromptu
walkabout in the station path

825
00:50:54,208 --> 00:50:56,208
and received her
first unofficial bouquet.

826
00:50:57,917 --> 00:51:00,958
The princess was in a
red and green wool suit with
a hat faintly reminiscent

827
00:51:01,542 --> 00:51:03,875
of a Robin Hood
principal Boylan pantomime.

828
00:51:03,958 --> 00:51:06,625
But she can obviously
get away with things other
royals wouldn't attempt.

829
00:51:10,125 --> 00:51:13,625
DIANA: We went to Wales for
three days to do our visit as
Prince and Princess of Wales.

830
00:51:14,625 --> 00:51:17,875
Being terribly sick carrying
this child, hadn't told
the world I was pregnant.

831
00:51:19,375 --> 00:51:21,500
Rained the whole
time round Wales.

832
00:51:21,583 --> 00:51:23,083
I wasn't easy.

833
00:51:23,208 --> 00:51:25,375
I cried a lot in the car,
saying I couldn't get out.

834
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:26,583
I couldn't cope
with the crowds.

835
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:28,000
"Why had they come to see us?

836
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,083
Someone help me."

837
00:51:30,333 --> 00:51:31,750
He just said, "You've just
got to get out and do it."

838
00:51:31,875 --> 00:51:35,208
You just got out, he tried
his hardest and he did really
well in that department.

839
00:51:35,750 --> 00:51:40,083
Got me out, and once I was
out I was able to do my bit.

840
00:51:40,750 --> 00:51:46,750
But it cost me such a lot
because I hadn't got the
energy because I was being

841
00:51:46,833 --> 00:51:51,125
sick with my bulimia so
much, let alone, you know, the
support for him or vice versa.

842
00:51:52,750 --> 00:51:55,375
-Perhaps the highlight
of this grueling three
days was the conferring

843
00:51:55,375 --> 00:51:57,875
of the freedom of the city
of Cardiff on the princess.

844
00:51:57,958 --> 00:52:00,625
All through the
tour it was expected at
some stage the princess

845
00:52:00,708 --> 00:52:02,375
would say something in Welsh.

846
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:06,458
(horns).

847
00:52:14,750 --> 00:52:16,333
DIANA: Desperately trying to
make him proud of me.

848
00:52:16,458 --> 00:52:19,292
Made a speech in Welsh.

849
00:52:25,625 --> 00:52:28,167
He was more
nervous than I was.

850
00:52:29,625 --> 00:52:33,375
I am extremely grateful
to you, Lord Mayor,
and to the city council,

851
00:52:33,500 --> 00:52:36,708
and to the city of
Cardiff for granting me
the Freedom of the City.

852
00:52:37,625 --> 00:52:40,875
I realize it is a very great
honor and I am most grateful.

853
00:52:41,625 --> 00:52:44,833
I would like to try
to express my thanks
to you in Welsh also.

854
00:52:46,458 --> 00:52:49,125
It is a great pleasure
for me to come to Wales.

855
00:52:49,250 --> 00:52:52,833
I look forward to returning
many times in the future.

856
00:52:52,958 --> 00:52:54,833
Thank you.

857
00:52:55,458 --> 00:52:57,833
(applause)

858
00:52:58,333 --> 00:53:02,000
Never got any praise from
Charles for it.

859
00:53:02,125 --> 00:53:05,000
But I began to understand
that that was absolutely normal.

860
00:53:06,667 --> 00:53:10,083
-Lady Diana Spencer became
the Princess of Wales
in a ceremony watched

861
00:53:10,083 --> 00:53:12,375
by the world
at the end of July.

862
00:53:12,375 --> 00:53:14,875
Buckingham Palace today
said she's expecting.

863
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,250
The baby will be second in
line to the British throne.

864
00:53:18,125 --> 00:53:20,125
-Oh.

865
00:53:22,833 --> 00:53:25,375
(inaudible chatter).

866
00:53:25,750 --> 00:53:27,125
-Don't you think that
perhaps it's a bit soon.

867
00:53:27,250 --> 00:53:28,208
-Well, I do really.

868
00:53:28,375 --> 00:53:30,458
I don't really think
they've got to know
each other great by now.

869
00:53:30,708 --> 00:53:32,708
But they obviously have.

870
00:53:32,875 --> 00:53:34,708
-Let's turn to
your good lady.

871
00:53:34,708 --> 00:53:37,083
What do you think,
a boy or a girl?

872
00:53:37,208 --> 00:53:38,208
-Boy or a girl?

873
00:53:38,333 --> 00:53:40,083
I don't think it
really matters.

874
00:53:40,208 --> 00:53:42,000
Another baby's
always good news.

875
00:53:43,708 --> 00:53:46,083
-Whether or not the
baby's to be born here
has yet to be decided.

876
00:53:46,583 --> 00:53:49,708
That's largely
a question for the Queen's
gynecologist, George Pinker,

877
00:53:50,083 --> 00:53:51,958
who will be attending
the princess throughout.

878
00:53:52,458 --> 00:53:54,500
That's just one of many
questions for the future.

879
00:53:55,375 --> 00:53:59,708
For the present, though,
well, there's really only one
way of saying it, isn't there?

880
00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:02,875
That's, of course,
if they'll let me.

881
00:54:05,625 --> 00:54:12,417
Wonder if you might, in her
royal highness's absence, pass
those on from ATV, ATV Today,

882
00:54:13,083 --> 00:54:15,333
all its viewers, with
our sincere congratulations.

883
00:54:19,583 --> 00:54:22,458
-If only the station
was always this full, said
the British rail official.

884
00:54:22,917 --> 00:54:24,708
And the royal train
pulled in right on time.

885
00:54:25,250 --> 00:54:27,083
For the hundreds of
guests, just one question.

886
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:29,667
And, yes, her royal
highness was onboard.

887
00:54:31,083 --> 00:54:34,583
Recently the princess has had
to cancel several engagements
because of morning sickness.

888
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,375
DIANA: I was sick all day.

889
00:54:37,375 --> 00:54:38,750
I didn't know what to do.

890
00:54:38,833 --> 00:54:42,875
I was very aware that I wasn't
being helpful to my husband,
and I was just mortified.

891
00:54:44,625 --> 00:54:47,250
-Today she looked well
enough, although perhaps
just a little pale.

892
00:54:48,833 --> 00:54:50,500
DIANA: I mean, I look gray
in all the pictures.

893
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:51,750
I remember exactly
what I was wearing.

894
00:54:51,875 --> 00:54:55,375
Black felt hat, and a sort
of, um, Robin Hood green cloak.

895
00:54:56,125 --> 00:54:57,375
Just simply dreadful.

896
00:54:57,375 --> 00:54:58,625
And I felt so sick.

897
00:54:58,625 --> 00:55:00,958
I remember it.

898
00:55:01,125 --> 00:55:02,458
-She is young.

899
00:55:02,458 --> 00:55:06,958
She's only just over twenty,
and she is having a baby,
and she is, after all, human.

900
00:55:07,792 --> 00:55:10,958
Just because she's a royal
princess, it doesn't mean
to say she has a baby any

901
00:55:11,125 --> 00:55:13,208
differently to anybody else.

902
00:55:13,458 --> 00:55:15,458
DIANA: Very, very difficult
pregnancy, indeed.

903
00:55:15,542 --> 00:55:16,750
Sick the whole time.

904
00:55:16,833 --> 00:55:19,750
Bulimia and morning sickness.

905
00:55:20,375 --> 00:55:23,000
And this family's never
had anybody who's had
morning sickness before,

906
00:55:24,250 --> 00:55:28,500
so every time in my evening
dress, I had to go out, I
either fainted or I was sick.

907
00:55:30,833 --> 00:55:32,500
So I was a problem.

908
00:55:32,583 --> 00:55:34,500
And they registered:
Diana's a problem.

909
00:55:34,583 --> 00:55:35,667
She's different.

910
00:55:35,667 --> 00:55:38,167
She's doing
everything that we never did.

911
00:55:38,167 --> 00:55:40,333
Why?

912
00:55:40,750 --> 00:55:41,708
-And what about
the photographers.

913
00:55:41,833 --> 00:55:44,167
Obviously, they're all
looking for the ideal picture.

914
00:55:44,667 --> 00:55:46,458
Are they going to
take any notice of this?

915
00:55:46,833 --> 00:55:48,833
I think they might.

916
00:55:48,958 --> 00:55:51,042
I wonder sometimes
about some of the
foreign photographers,

917
00:55:51,583 --> 00:55:53,417
particularly the
French and the Germans.

918
00:55:54,333 --> 00:55:57,542
They don't really care about
anything except getting
a good shot on their camera.

919
00:55:58,583 --> 00:56:02,125
But they might just
find that they're gonna have
to pack they're bags and

920
00:56:02,208 --> 00:56:05,000
take a few steps back and
have a little bit of a pause.

921
00:56:05,708 --> 00:56:08,125
Because they are literally
camping wherever you go.

922
00:56:14,542 --> 00:56:17,208
DIANA: It was Charles's choice
when we first got married
not to run around.

923
00:56:18,958 --> 00:56:22,875
He wanted to try to have
a home life of some sort.

924
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,583
But he didn't know
how to do it because
he'd never been taught.

925
00:56:25,583 --> 00:56:27,917
So the whole thing
just evaporated.

926
00:56:29,708 --> 00:56:31,708
-When you fell
down the stairs...

927
00:56:31,875 --> 00:56:34,583
-I threw myself
down the stairs.

928
00:56:35,958 --> 00:56:37,208
Charles said I
was crying wolf.

929
00:56:37,375 --> 00:56:41,750
And I said I felt
so desperate, and I
was crying my eyes out.

930
00:56:41,833 --> 00:56:43,875
And he said, "I'm not
going to listen, you're
always doing this to me.

931
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:46,375
I'm going riding now."

932
00:56:46,750 --> 00:56:49,000
So I threw myself
down the stairs.

933
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,750
Bearing in mind I
was carrying a child.

934
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Quite bruised
around the stomach.

935
00:56:55,083 --> 00:56:57,375
Queen comes out,
absolutely horrified.

936
00:56:57,917 --> 00:56:59,375
Shaking, she
was so frightened.

937
00:57:02,083 --> 00:57:05,083
And Charles
went out riding,
and when he came back,

938
00:57:05,083 --> 00:57:06,917
it was just dismissal.

939
00:57:14,083 --> 00:57:17,583
When we had William, we had
to find a date in the diary
that suited him and his polo.

940
00:57:19,333 --> 00:57:22,875
William had to be induced
because I couldn't handle the
press pressure any longer.

941
00:57:23,500 --> 00:57:25,625
It was becoming unbearable.

942
00:57:25,833 --> 00:57:28,250
It was as if everybody was
monitoring every day for me.

943
00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,375
And I had to be aware
that the whole country
was holding its breath.

944
00:57:33,875 --> 00:57:35,250
-But one thing is certain.

945
00:57:35,250 --> 00:57:38,250
When the celebrations
really begin to bubble, so
will many bottles of this,

946
00:57:38,750 --> 00:57:43,708
Earl Spencer's special
Althorp champagne for estate
workers and locals alike

DIANA: Went in very early, and
I was sick as a parrot the
whole way through the labor.

949
00:57:58,542 --> 00:58:00,708
-Strawberries and
cream, anybody?

950
00:58:00,833 --> 00:58:01,958
DIANA: Very bad labor.

951
00:58:02,042 --> 00:58:04,250
They wanted a caesarian.

952
00:58:04,333 --> 00:58:06,833
No one told me this
until afterwards.

953
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,250
The boy arrived.

954
00:58:16,375 --> 00:58:19,000
Great excitement.

955
00:58:19,125 --> 00:58:21,000
Everyone was absolutely
high as a kite.

00:59:16,583 --> 00:59:17,958
-Who does he look like,
sir, you or his mother?

976
00:59:17,958 --> 00:59:19,083
-You can't tell yet.

977
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:21,875
-They have been singing,
"Well done, Charlie,
let's have another one."

978
00:59:21,875 --> 00:59:23,208
Is that on the
program of events?

979
00:59:23,375 --> 00:59:25,583
-Bloody hell,
give us a chance.

980
00:59:25,583 --> 00:59:28,250
You ask my wife,
I don't think she'd
be too pleased just yet.

981
00:59:28,625 --> 00:59:30,000
-Have you thought
of a name yet, sir?

982
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,250
Have you thought
of a name yet?

983
00:59:31,250 --> 00:59:34,708
-We've thought of one
or two, but bit of
an argument about it.

984
00:59:38,375 --> 00:59:40,958
-William Arthur Philip Louis,
how about that?

985
00:59:41,250 --> 00:59:43,250
-I said Louis, yes.
-You said Louis?

986
00:59:43,250 --> 00:59:45,417
-Yes, yes.
-Are you happy with William?

987
00:59:45,875 --> 00:59:47,250
-Yes, I think William's
a very nice name.

988
00:59:47,333 --> 00:59:48,750
-It's a King's name.

989
00:59:48,833 --> 00:59:49,917
-Prince Billy.

990
00:59:49,917 --> 00:59:51,000
Prince Billy.

991
00:59:51,083 --> 00:59:52,250
-King William.

992
00:59:52,250 --> 00:59:53,250
-Prince William, you think?

993
00:59:53,250 --> 00:59:54,583
Regal ring?

994
00:59:54,583 --> 00:59:55,958
King William,
indeed, regal ring.

995
00:59:55,958 --> 00:59:58,292
-Willy.

996
00:59:58,292 --> 00:59:59,458
Not bad, not bad.

997
00:59:59,583 --> 01:00:00,458
-King Willy.

998
01:00:00,458 --> 01:00:02,250
-Yes, King Bill.

999
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:14,458
-May we see your son,
Your Royal Highness?

1000
01:00:21,583 --> 01:00:23,875
-How good a dad was
he with the children?

1001
01:00:23,875 --> 01:00:25,958
-At the beginning, he
loved the nursery life.

1002
01:00:26,125 --> 01:00:28,958
I mean, he just
couldn't wait to get back.

1003
01:00:28,958 --> 01:00:31,292
And do the bottle.

1004
01:00:35,458 --> 01:00:39,083
Came home,
and then post-natal
depressions hit me hard,

1005
01:00:40,458 --> 01:00:44,333
and it wasn't so much
the baby that had produced it,

1006
01:00:44,333 --> 01:00:46,958
it was the baby that
triggered off all else that
was going on in my mind.

1007
01:00:47,667 --> 01:00:49,958
If Charles didn't
come home when he said
he was coming home,

1008
01:00:49,958 --> 01:00:51,625
I thought something
dreadful had happened to him.

1009
01:00:51,708 --> 01:00:53,875
Tears, panic,
all the rest of it.

1010
01:00:55,208 --> 01:00:56,750
He didn't see the panic.

1011
01:00:56,875 --> 01:00:59,750
I would just
sit there quietly.

1012
01:00:59,750 --> 01:01:01,958
Boy, was I troubled.

1013
01:01:18,708 --> 01:01:20,542
DIANA: William's
Christening was desperate,

1014
01:01:20,542 --> 01:01:23,708
because I literally
had just given birth.

1015
01:01:23,833 --> 01:01:27,042
He was only six weeks old,

1016
01:01:27,042 --> 01:01:30,000
and it was all
decided around me.

1017
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:33,750
Hence, the ghastly
pictures of somebody who
is so, and my bulimia,

1018
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:36,125
everything was out of control.

1019
01:01:36,250 --> 01:01:38,500
Yeah, everything.

1020
01:01:40,250 --> 01:01:43,375
I was treated like
nobody else's business
on the fourth of August.

1021
01:01:46,125 --> 01:01:48,000
Nobody asked me whether
it was suitable for William.

1022
01:01:48,833 --> 01:01:50,958
11:00 couldn't
have been worse.

1023
01:01:56,125 --> 01:02:01,375
There were endless pictures
of the Queen, Queen Mother,
Charles, and William.

1024
01:02:10,708 --> 01:02:13,875
I was excluded
totally in that day.

1025
01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:19,708
(baby crying)

1026
01:02:28,625 --> 01:02:31,083
I wasn't very well, and
I just blubbed my eyes out.

1027
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:34,083
Yeah.

1028
01:02:34,083 --> 01:02:36,750
Well, he sensed that I
wasn't exactly hunky dory.

1029
01:02:41,375 --> 01:02:44,458
One minute, I was nobody,
and the next minute, I was
Princess of Wales, mother,

1030
01:02:44,583 --> 01:02:46,958
media toy, member of
this family, you name it.

1031
01:02:48,667 --> 01:02:51,167
And it was just too much
for one person at that time.

1032
01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:59,125
-Well, with the amount of
stories that there are in our
newspapers and on television,

1033
01:02:59,208 --> 01:03:02,375
you could hardly fail to
notice that the Prince and
the Princess of Wales, and,

1034
01:03:02,500 --> 01:03:05,125
of course, young
Prince William, are
now well into the swing

1035
01:03:05,125 --> 01:03:07,375
of their tour of Australia.

1036
01:03:13,250 --> 01:03:16,208
Brisbane was the place
where they expected the
biggest crowds of the tour,

1037
01:03:16,750 --> 01:03:18,792
and they got them.

1038
01:03:18,792 --> 01:03:21,292
The police estimated there
were 80,000 people here...

1039
01:03:21,292 --> 01:03:24,167
but wise old
locals reckoned there
were nearer 100,000.

1040
01:03:26,250 --> 01:03:27,958
-The crowds were just
something to be believed.

1041
01:03:28,125 --> 01:03:31,208
And, you know, my husband
had never seen crowds like
it and I sure as hell hadn't.

1042
01:03:35,625 --> 01:03:40,458
-Ladies and gentlemen,
the last time I was here was
two years ago in 1981 shortly

1043
01:03:41,375 --> 01:03:47,750
before we were married,
and at that time everybody
was saying good luck,

1044
01:03:47,875 --> 01:03:52,250
and I hope everything goes
well, and how lucky you
are to be engaged to such

1045
01:03:52,333 --> 01:03:55,833
a lovely lady,
and, my goodness, I was
lucky enough to marry her.

1046
01:03:56,833 --> 01:03:59,958
And we had many many messages.

1047
01:04:07,333 --> 01:04:09,833
It's amazing what ladies do
when your back's turned.

1048
01:04:14,583 --> 01:04:18,667
-The theme of this second week
has really been the princess's
rapidly growing popularity.

1049
01:04:24,333 --> 01:04:28,375
-Everybody always said,
when we were in the car,
"Oh, we're on the wrong side.

1050
01:04:28,375 --> 01:04:30,750
We want to see her,
we don't want to see him."

1051
01:04:30,875 --> 01:04:34,750
And that's all we could hear
as we went down these crowds.

1052
01:04:34,875 --> 01:04:37,125
And, obviously, he
wasn't used to that.

1053
01:04:37,208 --> 01:04:38,125
Nor was I.

1054
01:04:38,208 --> 01:04:39,208
He took it out on me.

1055
01:04:39,333 --> 01:04:41,542
He was jealous.

1056
01:04:41,708 --> 01:04:45,208
I understood the jealousy,
but I couldn't explain
that I didn't ask for it.

1057
01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:53,208
-I've come to
the conclusion that really it
would have been far easier to

1058
01:04:53,375 --> 01:04:55,208
have two wives...

1059
01:04:55,375 --> 01:04:58,583
(laughter)

1060
01:04:59,083 --> 01:05:00,875
To have covered both
sides of the street.

1061
01:05:03,583 --> 01:05:06,333
And I could have
walked down the middle
directing the operation.

1062
01:05:10,625 --> 01:05:14,000
-I kept saying, "Whoever
you married would have been
of interest for the clothes,

1063
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,083
and how she handles
this, that, and the other.

1064
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:20,750
And you've built
the building block for
your wife to stand on to

1065
01:05:20,833 --> 01:05:23,583
make her own building block."

1066
01:05:23,917 --> 01:05:26,583
He didn't see that at all.

1067
01:05:27,375 --> 01:05:29,250
I learned to be
a royal in one week.

1068
01:05:29,917 --> 01:05:32,750
I was thrown into the
deep end, which, now,
I prefer it that way.

1069
01:05:33,833 --> 01:05:35,458
Nobody ever helped me.

1070
01:05:35,583 --> 01:05:36,750
At all.

1071
01:05:36,833 --> 01:05:39,583
They'd be there
to criticize, but never be
there to say, "Well done."

1072
01:05:41,250 --> 01:05:43,750
When we came back from
our six-week tour I
was a different person.

1073
01:05:44,875 --> 01:05:46,625
I was more
grown up, more mature.

1074
01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:51,625
But not anything
like what one was going
to go through the process

1075
01:05:51,708 --> 01:05:54,250
of the next
four or five years.

1076
01:06:04,250 --> 01:06:06,958
Between William
and Harry being born,
it's total darkness.

1077
01:06:09,333 --> 01:06:11,125
I can't remember
much, I blocked it out.

1078
01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:14,750
It was such pain.

1079
01:06:17,542 --> 01:06:20,208
-Now, they then had
all sorts of people
for you to talk to.

1080
01:06:20,333 --> 01:06:21,708
-Yes.

1081
01:06:21,792 --> 01:06:23,125
-Did you have
any choice over it?

1082
01:06:23,125 --> 01:06:27,625
-No, Doctor Mitchell
came in every evening, 6:00,
and I had to explain to him

1083
01:06:27,708 --> 01:06:30,125
about my conversations
with my husband during the day.

1084
01:06:30,833 --> 01:06:33,375
And there weren't many
conversations, it was more
tears than anything else,

1085
01:06:34,625 --> 01:06:37,583
because on the outside,
people were saying I was
giving my husband a hard time,

1086
01:06:37,875 --> 01:06:39,500
I was acting
like a spoiled child.

1087
01:06:39,625 --> 01:06:44,667
But I knew that I just
needed rest and patience
and time to adapt to all

1088
01:06:44,667 --> 01:06:46,750
the roles that were
required of me overnight.

1089
01:06:48,250 --> 01:06:51,000
And by then there
was immense jealousy 'cause
every single day I was

1090
01:06:51,125 --> 01:06:53,125
on the front
of the newspapers.

1091
01:06:56,917 --> 01:06:59,167
Anyway, Harry
appeared, by miracle.

1092
01:07:00,333 --> 01:07:03,542
Charles and I were very,
very close to each other the
six weeks before Harry born,

1093
01:07:04,583 --> 01:07:07,125
the closest we had
ever, ever been and
ever will have been.

1094
01:07:11,583 --> 01:07:16,125
And then suddenly as
Harry was born, it just
went bang, our marriage,

1095
01:07:17,208 --> 01:07:19,250
the whole thing
down the drain.

1096
01:07:21,375 --> 01:07:22,875
-Good evening.

1097
01:07:22,875 --> 01:07:26,708
The Princess of Wales's new
baby, born at twenty past four
this afternoon is another boy.

1098
01:07:27,208 --> 01:07:28,708
Both are doing well.

1099
01:07:28,708 --> 01:07:32,417
The new prince, not
yet named, weighed six
pounds, fourteen ounces.

1100
01:07:32,708 --> 01:07:37,375
He has pale blue eyes and,
according to his father,
indeterminate color hair.

1101
01:07:39,875 --> 01:07:42,208
DIANA: I knew Harry was going
to be a boy 'cause
I saw it in the scan.

1102
01:07:42,958 --> 01:07:45,792
And Charles, all
he wanted was a girl.

1103
01:07:46,583 --> 01:07:48,625
He wanted two children,
and he wanted a girl.

1104
01:07:49,333 --> 01:07:51,250
I knew Harry was a boy,
and I didn't tell him.

1105
01:07:54,583 --> 01:07:56,375
-What's your reaction?
-What do you think?

1106
01:07:56,458 --> 01:07:58,500
Have you had any children?

1107
01:07:58,500 --> 01:07:59,875
-I've had two,
and one on the way.

1108
01:07:59,958 --> 01:08:00,750
-Marvelous.

1109
01:08:00,750 --> 01:08:01,625
What was your reaction?

1110
01:08:01,750 --> 01:08:02,625
-Fantastic.

1111
01:08:02,625 --> 01:08:03,583
And I was there both times.

1112
01:08:03,708 --> 01:08:04,583
-Exactly so.

1113
01:08:04,750 --> 01:08:05,750
Marvelous.

1114
01:08:05,750 --> 01:08:06,875
-Were you expecting a boy?

1115
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,583
-No, I mean, it doesn't
matter what it was, as
long as he was all right.

1116
01:08:10,583 --> 01:08:13,458
-His name is
Henry Charles Albert David,

1117
01:08:13,583 --> 01:08:16,083
but they're
gonna call him Harry.

1118
01:08:17,583 --> 01:08:19,792
-Who chose the name?
-I did.

1119
01:08:19,792 --> 01:08:21,583
I chose William and Harry.

1120
01:08:21,583 --> 01:08:23,458
But Charles did the rest.

1121
01:08:23,458 --> 01:08:29,083
But he wanted Albert
and Arthur, and I said,
"No, too old, no thank you."

1122
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,875
Harry arrived,
Harry was a boy.

1123
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,750
First comment was,
"Oh, God, it's a boy."

1124
01:08:37,750 --> 01:08:43,000
Something inside me closed
off and by then I knew
he'd gone back to his lady.

1125
01:08:43,625 --> 01:08:45,125
But somehow we
managed to have Harry.

1126
01:08:46,208 --> 01:08:49,875
And Harry is a complete joy,
and is actually closer to his
father than perhaps William.

1127
01:08:52,625 --> 01:08:55,292
(banging on the piano)

1128
01:09:02,958 --> 01:09:05,667
-Yes, four hands,
two princes, and the piano.

1129
01:09:06,333 --> 01:09:09,792
WILLIAM: Harry, Harry,
don't tread on my toes.

1130
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:12,750
-It's a photo session
at Kensington Palace,

1131
01:09:12,958 --> 01:09:15,375
with the Prince and
Princess of Wales and family.

1132
01:09:18,625 --> 01:09:21,250
-And then there
was an ITV film.

1133
01:09:21,333 --> 01:09:24,250
DIANA: I was basically
bribed to do that.

1134
01:09:24,333 --> 01:09:27,833
At first of all, an American
network was going to
do it for Operation Raleigh,

1135
01:09:28,250 --> 01:09:30,250
and they were going
to raise some incredible
amount of money.

1136
01:09:32,333 --> 01:09:34,250
And I said I
didn't want to do it.

1137
01:09:34,625 --> 01:09:36,458
And Charles said,
"Ok, I'll do it."

1138
01:09:36,625 --> 01:09:39,458
And they came back and said
no, no, we want both of you,
or we don't want any of you.

1139
01:09:40,167 --> 01:09:41,708
So I said, "No."

1140
01:09:41,708 --> 01:09:47,583
So they dropped Charles, and
then ITN picked it up and said
if your wife does it with you,

1141
01:09:47,708 --> 01:09:51,167
we will pay you such
and such amount, so
there was the bribe.

1142
01:09:51,833 --> 01:09:54,250
-Into what?
-Into the Charities Trust.

1143
01:09:54,583 --> 01:09:58,083
ALISTAIR: Well, now, two
questions that everybody
will want to have answered.

1144
01:09:58,583 --> 01:10:04,000
What do you say when you read
in the papers that you are a
determined, domineering woman?

1145
01:10:05,375 --> 01:10:06,875
-I don't always read that.

1146
01:10:06,958 --> 01:10:10,542
I'm, people are very
willing to tell me that.

1147
01:10:10,875 --> 01:10:12,125
But I don't think I am.

1148
01:10:12,208 --> 01:10:16,000
I'm a perfectionist with
myself, but not necessarily
with everybody else.

1149
01:10:17,542 --> 01:10:21,708
And those stories arose
a long time ago and
have kept coming out.

1150
01:10:22,333 --> 01:10:23,500
Again and again.

1151
01:10:23,583 --> 01:10:25,083
But I don't think I am.

1152
01:10:25,208 --> 01:10:26,708
-Do you feel hurt by them?

1153
01:10:26,708 --> 01:10:28,083
DIANA: Well,
obviously one does.

1154
01:10:28,083 --> 01:10:31,958
You feel very wounded
and if it comes out,
you think, oh gosh,

1155
01:10:31,958 --> 01:10:33,708
I don't want to go out
and do my engagement
this morning,

1156
01:10:33,833 --> 01:10:35,875
nobody wants to
see me, help, panic.

1157
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,000
But you've got to push
yourself out and remember
some people, hopefully,

1158
01:10:40,083 --> 01:10:42,125
won't believe
everything they read about you.

1159
01:10:42,208 --> 01:10:44,708
Because there's far
too much about me in the
newspapers, far too much.

1160
01:10:45,125 --> 01:10:49,625
It horrifies me, when there's
something more important
like what goes on in hospice,

1161
01:10:50,375 --> 01:10:53,583
or there's been a bomb
or something, they'll
put me on the front page.

1162
01:10:54,375 --> 01:10:56,750
-I feel underdressed.

1163
01:10:56,833 --> 01:10:58,583
Why don't you sit down?

1164
01:10:58,583 --> 01:11:00,458
Is this for me?

1165
01:11:03,375 --> 01:11:04,875
-See you in the flesh.

1166
01:11:04,875 --> 01:11:06,417
-In the flesh.

1167
01:11:06,417 --> 01:11:08,333
Don't look too near,
you might get a shock.

1168
01:11:08,458 --> 01:11:09,583
-I've seen enough photos.

1169
01:11:09,583 --> 01:11:10,958
-I know, there's
too many of those.

1170
01:11:11,083 --> 01:11:12,750
-(inaudible) in
the shop downstairs.

1171
01:11:12,833 --> 01:11:13,750
-Are they?

1172
01:11:13,750 --> 01:11:14,833
How much do you sell them for?

1173
01:11:14,833 --> 01:11:17,750
-Three pounds ten.
-Is that all?

1174
01:11:20,125 --> 01:11:22,708
-Misses bought it.
-Under pressure?

1175
01:11:25,500 --> 01:11:27,000
A lot of hard
work goes into it.

1176
01:11:27,083 --> 01:11:28,500
I mean, how long does it take
to make something like this?

1177
01:11:28,500 --> 01:11:29,750
-I really don't know.

1178
01:11:29,833 --> 01:11:32,875
-But there is a natural and
continuing interest in you.

1179
01:11:32,958 --> 01:11:37,125
For example, have you
actually tried to change
Prince Charles in

1180
01:11:37,208 --> 01:11:39,125
any way since
you got married?

1181
01:11:39,125 --> 01:11:40,250
-Not at all.

1182
01:11:40,375 --> 01:11:44,792
I mean, obviously,
there were one or two
things that, maybe the odd

1183
01:11:44,792 --> 01:11:47,583
tie or something,
but nothing.

1184
01:11:47,833 --> 01:11:49,208
-Shoes.
-Shoes.

1185
01:11:49,333 --> 01:11:50,458
We won't go any further.

1186
01:11:50,542 --> 01:11:53,625
But nothing dramatic.

1187
01:11:58,125 --> 01:12:01,333
(inaudible chatter)

1188
01:12:02,333 --> 01:12:04,625
They followed us
around for eighteen months.

1189
01:12:04,750 --> 01:12:07,875
Very strange.

1190
01:12:10,625 --> 01:12:12,000
I think you must,
can I sit down here?

1191
01:12:12,125 --> 01:12:14,000
It's all right?

1192
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,458
Who's that?

1193
01:12:17,250 --> 01:12:18,500
Who's that?

1194
01:12:18,625 --> 01:12:20,833
Who does she belong to?

1195
01:12:23,125 --> 01:12:25,000
-Now, you both like skiing.

1196
01:12:25,125 --> 01:12:30,333
And yet, every year, it has
become a regular, you don't
appear to hit it off exactly

1197
01:12:30,500 --> 01:12:32,333
eye to eye on the slopes.

1198
01:12:33,833 --> 01:12:36,083
What is the secret of this?

1199
01:12:37,333 --> 01:12:39,875
You two read the papers.

1200
01:12:40,083 --> 01:12:42,250
-Not if I can help it.

1201
01:12:42,333 --> 01:12:46,125
I suspect most husbands
and wives find that they
often have arguments.

1202
01:12:46,833 --> 01:12:47,875
-But we don't.

1203
01:12:47,875 --> 01:12:49,750
-No, no, no, but
occasionally we do.

1204
01:12:49,833 --> 01:12:53,625
Because I go on
longer sometimes.

1205
01:12:56,208 --> 01:12:59,208
-Yes, but I'm faster.
-There we are.

1206
01:13:00,125 --> 01:13:04,208
-Of course, some
people say that you're
so slim you probably

1207
01:13:04,375 --> 01:13:06,583
don't eat enough anyway.

1208
01:13:06,583 --> 01:13:10,500
-When we go on an engagement,
if it's a lunchtime one,
we often have a buffet lunch,

1209
01:13:11,042 --> 01:13:14,708
so we can get around the
enormous amount of people
there sometimes are.

1210
01:13:14,875 --> 01:13:17,958
So it's impossible to
talk and eat at the same time.

1211
01:13:18,708 --> 01:13:21,125
So you end up chasing a bit
of chicken around the plate

1212
01:13:21,250 --> 01:13:23,125
and then never
getting anything yourself.

1213
01:13:23,125 --> 01:13:26,375
And by the time you
get home, certainly
there's no time,

1214
01:13:26,458 --> 01:13:28,250
you're rushing
off somewhere else.

1215
01:13:28,250 --> 01:13:31,375
I'm never on
what's called a diet.

1216
01:13:31,375 --> 01:13:34,000
Maybe I'm so
scrawny it's because I
take so much exercise.

1217
01:13:34,875 --> 01:13:36,875
I don't know.

1218
01:13:37,875 --> 01:13:40,875
-In what way was
the Queen involved with
doctors of your bulimia?

1219
01:13:41,500 --> 01:13:42,500
-None.
-Not at all?
-Not at all.

1220
01:13:42,583 --> 01:13:45,875
-Did she know
about it at all?

1221
01:13:45,958 --> 01:13:47,417
-She indicated to me
that she thought that it was
the reason why our marriage

1222
01:13:47,417 --> 01:13:52,292
had gone downhill,
was because Charles was
having such a difficult time

1223
01:13:52,292 --> 01:13:53,958
with Diana's bulimia.

1224
01:13:54,083 --> 01:13:55,958
-Right, did she
indicate that to you?

1225
01:13:56,083 --> 01:13:57,583
-Yes, she told me that.

1226
01:13:57,667 --> 01:14:01,583
She hung the coat on
the hook, so to speak.

1227
01:14:01,750 --> 01:14:06,375
And it made me realize
that they all saw that as
the cause of the marriage,

1228
01:14:06,500 --> 01:14:08,375
not one of the symptoms
of the marriage.

1229
01:14:12,125 --> 01:14:15,625
-Any wise heads during the
whole thing that were helpful?

1230
01:14:16,375 --> 01:14:19,125
-I think a lot of people
tried because they saw that
something was going wrong.

1231
01:14:19,458 --> 01:14:21,458
But nobody actually,
I never leant on anyone.

1232
01:14:21,958 --> 01:14:24,958
None of my family
knew about this at all.

1233
01:14:26,458 --> 01:14:29,625
After five years of
being married, my sister
Jane came up to see me,

1234
01:14:29,625 --> 01:14:32,167
and I had a v-neck on.

1235
01:14:32,167 --> 01:14:34,833
She said, "Duch, what's
that marking on your chest."

1236
01:14:35,458 --> 01:14:36,708
I said,
"Oh, it's nothing."

1237
01:14:36,792 --> 01:14:38,958
She said, "What is it?"

1238
01:14:39,042 --> 01:14:41,458
And the night before,
I wanted to talk to
Charles about something;

1239
01:14:41,625 --> 01:14:42,333
he wouldn't listen to me.

1240
01:14:42,458 --> 01:14:43,625
Said I was crying wolf.

1241
01:14:43,625 --> 01:14:47,375
So I picked up his
pen knife off his dressing
table and scratched myself

1242
01:14:47,375 --> 01:14:50,875
heavily down my chest
and down my, both thighs.

1243
01:14:51,250 --> 01:14:53,500
A lot of blood.

1244
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:55,833
And hadn't made any
reaction whatsoever to him.

1245
01:14:56,875 --> 01:15:00,000
And she went for me,
she said, "You mustn't
let the side down,

1246
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,333
this, that, and the other."

1247
01:15:01,458 --> 01:15:02,750
And I turned on her.

1248
01:15:02,750 --> 01:15:05,250
I said, "Give me some credit
that I haven't troubled
any of you in my family

1249
01:15:05,333 --> 01:15:07,750
for five years about this."

1250
01:15:08,833 --> 01:15:11,000
And obviously
that perception
is made different now.

1251
01:15:11,500 --> 01:15:13,833
They're annoyed by the
lack of support from him.

1252
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:20,208
-It's a particular pleasure to
be able to introduce my wife

1253
01:15:20,333 --> 01:15:24,208
to this great Pacific
province and to let her see,

1254
01:15:30,250 --> 01:15:32,000
(crowd cheering)

1255
01:15:32,125 --> 01:15:35,000
And to let her see
for herself, and to
find out for herself

1256
01:15:35,083 --> 01:15:38,500
just what a warm,
hearty lot you all are.

1257
01:15:42,708 --> 01:15:45,042
-Then things got a bit
tricky on the bulimia front.

1258
01:15:45,208 --> 01:15:47,625
-Yes.
-And the Expo.

1259
01:15:47,708 --> 01:15:50,333
-The Expo where I passed out.
-Yeah.

1260
01:15:50,708 --> 01:15:52,583
-Yeah, I remember, I had never
fainted before in my life.

1261
01:15:52,917 --> 01:15:55,500
And we'd been walking
around for four hours,
we hadn't had any food.

1262
01:15:56,083 --> 01:15:58,875
And presumably I hadn't
eaten for days beforehand.

1263
01:15:58,875 --> 01:16:01,208
When I say that, I
mean food staying down.

1264
01:16:01,583 --> 01:16:05,958
And I remember walking around
feeling really ghastly, and I
didn't dare tell anyone I felt

1265
01:16:05,958 --> 01:16:08,375
ghastly because I thought
they'd think I was whinging.

1266
01:16:10,708 --> 01:16:13,958
I put my arm on my husband's
shoulder and said, "Darling, I
think I'm about to disappear."

1267
01:16:18,625 --> 01:16:21,250
And slid down the side of him.

1268
01:16:24,500 --> 01:16:25,917
My husband told me off.

1269
01:16:25,917 --> 01:16:28,250
He said I could have passed
out quietly somewhere else.

1270
01:16:29,750 --> 01:16:31,083
And everyone was saying,
"She can't go out tonight,

1271
01:16:31,083 --> 01:16:33,708
she can't go out,
she must have some sleep."

1272
01:16:40,792 --> 01:16:43,167
Charles said,
"She must go out tonight,
otherwise there's going to be

1273
01:16:43,167 --> 01:16:44,917
a sense of terrific drama.

1274
01:16:45,083 --> 01:16:47,583
They're gonna think
there's something really
awful wrong with her."

1275
01:16:49,708 --> 01:16:53,042
Inside me, I knew there was
something wrong with me, but I
was too immature to voice it.

1276
01:17:02,333 --> 01:17:05,292
-This afternoon, the
Prince and Princess
said farewell to BC.

1277
01:17:05,708 --> 01:17:08,083
They're going
to Tokyo to begin a
royal tour that includes

1278
01:17:08,083 --> 01:17:10,208
at least five
12-hour days.

1279
01:17:10,292 --> 01:17:13,292
Royal officials say
there are no plans to
change the schedule.

1280
01:17:22,375 --> 01:17:25,167
-Was anyone helpful
about the press, generally?

1281
01:17:25,667 --> 01:17:26,792
-No, they were
all running around.

1282
01:17:26,875 --> 01:17:28,042
They couldn't understand.

1283
01:17:28,125 --> 01:17:31,792
It was like sort of Marilyn
Monroe publicity, you know.

1284
01:17:32,958 --> 01:17:36,333
She only had to click
her heel and the whole
world was at her feet.

1285
01:17:36,708 --> 01:17:38,708
It was very odd.

1286
01:17:42,542 --> 01:17:44,458
But I am never
comfortable in it.

1287
01:17:44,542 --> 01:17:47,583
Never ever.

1288
01:17:47,667 --> 01:17:49,500
I was absolutely
mesmerized by the whole thing.

1289
01:17:49,792 --> 01:17:51,792
I couldn't believe it.

1290
01:17:52,083 --> 01:17:54,167
-Diana, ah!

1291
01:17:54,167 --> 01:17:56,500
Please, please.

1292
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:59,958
Please please please
please please, Diana.

1293
01:18:00,542 --> 01:18:03,833
Come on, this will
make my day, my life.

1294
01:18:07,667 --> 01:18:10,375
DIANA: They all thought,
"Oh, she's got lots of press,
she must be doing all right."

1295
01:18:12,417 --> 01:18:17,833
But that summer, I sat
myself down in Scotland, and
I remember saying to myself,

1296
01:18:18,208 --> 01:18:19,333
all right, Diana.

1297
01:18:19,458 --> 01:18:21,583
It's not good.

1298
01:18:21,667 --> 01:18:23,958
You've got to change it
right round, this publicity.

1299
01:18:25,708 --> 01:18:28,083
I remember my conversation
so well, sitting by water.

1300
01:18:28,167 --> 01:18:30,208
I always sit by water
when contemplating.

1301
01:18:31,708 --> 01:18:33,208
You've got to grow up.

1302
01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:35,542
You've got to be responsible.

1303
01:18:41,875 --> 01:18:45,917
You've got to understand
that you can't do what other
26, 27-year-olds are doing.

1304
01:18:47,417 --> 01:18:51,917
You've chosen to do a
position, so you must adapt
to it and stop fighting it.

1305
01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:57,333
And I knew I could do it
if I chose a different angle.

1306
01:19:03,083 --> 01:19:06,833
-The Princess of Wales felt
not the slightest
apprehension about her visit

1307
01:19:06,833 --> 01:19:09,208
to the Middlesex Hospital and
its AIDS ward.

1308
01:19:10,417 --> 01:19:13,833
All the speculation had
centered on whether she
would wear gloves when

1309
01:19:13,833 --> 01:19:16,042
shaking hands with the
staff and patients.

1310
01:19:18,083 --> 01:19:21,292
DIANA: I'd always wanted to
hug people in hospital beds,
and this particular man

1311
01:19:21,417 --> 01:19:24,417
was so ill, so I
thought, right, Diana, do it.

1312
01:19:24,417 --> 01:19:25,792
Go on, just do it.

1313
01:19:25,917 --> 01:19:28,667
And I gave him an enormous
hug, and it was just so
touching because he clung to

1314
01:19:28,667 --> 01:19:31,917
me and he cried, and it was
wonderful, it made him laugh.

1315
01:19:42,958 --> 01:19:46,583
-In Britain, the public's
obsession with the royal
family has reached new heights

1316
01:19:47,083 --> 01:19:48,583
or lows, depending
on how you look at it.

1317
01:19:49,292 --> 01:19:52,083
The cause of the latest
flurry of excitement
is the rumor that

1318
01:19:52,167 --> 01:19:55,625
Prince Charles and
Princess Diana may be on the
verge of ending their marriage.

1319
01:19:59,083 --> 01:20:02,000
But whatever
problems they may be
having, says Andrew Morton,

1320
01:20:02,583 --> 01:20:04,958
royal reporter for the
British newspaper The Star,

1321
01:20:05,167 --> 01:20:07,500
there's no chance
the two will get divorced.

1322
01:20:07,958 --> 01:20:10,167
MORTON (over phone): They're
as much likely to get divorced
as I am to get pregnant.

1323
01:20:12,792 --> 01:20:16,625
I would stake my life on
the fact that they would
never ever ever divorce.

1324
01:20:24,208 --> 01:20:27,083
-24 hours before
the royal visit, parts
of Carmarthen were still

1325
01:20:27,167 --> 01:20:29,292
under several feet of water.

1326
01:20:29,667 --> 01:20:32,917
Today, the floods had
subsided, as the lengthy job
of clearing up was underway.

1327
01:20:34,500 --> 01:20:38,167
DIANA: One of the worst things
to ever happen was when we went
to Wales after the flooding,

1328
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,458
and there'd been a
tremendous amount of press
about us being apart.

1329
01:20:46,292 --> 01:20:49,333
And I burst into tears when he
got in the plane, and he said,
"Oh, God, what's the matter?"

1330
01:20:49,833 --> 01:20:51,875
And I said, "I've had a
very bad time with the press."

1331
01:20:52,250 --> 01:20:56,333
Because they had
literally haunted me or
hunted me, and he said,

1332
01:20:56,417 --> 01:20:58,542
"Well, if you were in
your right place, none of
this would have happened,"

1333
01:20:58,750 --> 01:21:01,333
indicating that I
should be up in Scotland.

1334
01:21:01,458 --> 01:21:02,833
It was a real cry for help.

1335
01:21:02,917 --> 01:21:04,833
I wasn't just
blubbing because I just
turned the taps on;

1336
01:21:05,208 --> 01:21:07,417
it was just desperation.

1337
01:21:07,583 --> 01:21:10,083
-It's only the couple's
second public appearance
together in over a month.

1338
01:21:10,708 --> 01:21:12,708
But tomorrow, they'll go
their separate ways again.

1339
01:21:12,708 --> 01:21:14,208
The princess stays in London.

1340
01:21:14,333 --> 01:21:16,375
Prince Charles
goes to Scotland.

1341
01:21:17,208 --> 01:21:19,208
DIANA: I said, "I choose
to work because that's
my role in life."

1342
01:21:25,833 --> 01:21:28,417
-What do you
think woke you up?

1343
01:21:28,542 --> 01:21:31,708
-I think the
bulimia, actually.

1344
01:21:31,833 --> 01:21:37,625
I suddenly realized what
I was going to lose if I let
go, and was it worth losing.

1345
01:21:39,875 --> 01:21:44,583
So that's how I got
involved with the shrink
called Dr. Lipsedge.

1346
01:21:46,458 --> 01:21:48,917
Walked in, he said,
how many times have you
tried to do yourself in?

1347
01:21:49,917 --> 01:21:53,833
And I thought, I don't
believe this question.

1348
01:21:54,833 --> 01:21:57,458
So I heard myself
say, "Four times."

1349
01:21:59,042 --> 01:22:01,250
He asked all these
questions, and I was able
to be completely honest.

1350
01:22:02,583 --> 01:22:05,083
He said, "I'm
gonna come and see you
once a week for now,

1351
01:22:05,167 --> 01:22:06,792
and we're just going
to talk it through.

1352
01:22:06,917 --> 01:22:09,125
He said, "There's
nothing wrong with you."

1353
01:22:09,125 --> 01:22:11,583
And when he said
that, a door opened.

1354
01:22:11,583 --> 01:22:14,125
I thought, well,
maybe it's not me.

1355
01:22:14,292 --> 01:22:16,417
And he helped me get
back my self-esteem.

1356
01:22:18,417 --> 01:22:22,000
-For the first formal dinner
of the visit, the Princess
unveiled another new look,

1357
01:22:22,750 --> 01:22:27,167
her worn up with a tiara that
clearly won the approval of
state president Von Viesecker.

1358
01:22:28,208 --> 01:22:30,083
The cameras were
concentrating on the princess.

1359
01:22:30,708 --> 01:22:33,833
Interest in her clothes
replacing speculation
about the royal marriage.

1360
01:22:35,083 --> 01:22:38,083
And she seemed relaxed
enough to respond in
an informal manner when one

1361
01:22:38,083 --> 01:22:40,208
photographer
complimented her hairstyle.

1362
01:22:40,708 --> 01:22:43,208
-Your hair looks nice.
-Looks all right?

1363
01:22:45,958 --> 01:22:50,167
One of the bravest moments of
my entire ten years was when
we went to this ghastly party,

1364
01:22:50,500 --> 01:22:53,917
a 40th birthday party
for Camilla's sister, and
nobody expected me to turn up.

1365
01:22:54,583 --> 01:22:57,042
But, again, a voice
inside me said just
go for the hell of it.

1366
01:22:58,167 --> 01:23:00,167
So I psyched
myself up something awful.

1367
01:23:00,542 --> 01:23:02,792
I decided that
I wasn't going to kiss
Camilla hello anymore,

1368
01:23:03,042 --> 01:23:04,917
I was going to
shake hands with her.

1369
01:23:05,208 --> 01:23:07,167
This was my big step.

1370
01:23:07,458 --> 01:23:11,042
Well, he needled
me the whole way down to
Ham Common, trying to bait me.

1371
01:23:11,458 --> 01:23:13,583
"Why are you coming tonight?"

1372
01:23:13,667 --> 01:23:15,417
Needle, needle, needle,
the whole way down.

1373
01:23:15,958 --> 01:23:18,458
I didn't bite, but I
was very, very on edge.

1374
01:23:25,083 --> 01:23:29,542
I walk into the house
and stick my hand out to
Camilla the first time,

1375
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,542
and think phew,
got over that.

1376
01:23:33,833 --> 01:23:36,458
We were all upstairs
and I was chatting away,
and I suddenly noticed that

1377
01:23:36,542 --> 01:23:38,417
there was no Camilla
and no Charles upstairs.

1378
01:23:39,167 --> 01:23:40,917
So this disturbs me.

1379
01:23:41,333 --> 01:23:43,500
So I make my way to go
downstairs again.

1380
01:23:43,667 --> 01:23:46,167
I know what I'm going
to confront myself with.

1381
01:23:46,292 --> 01:23:48,083
They tried and stop me
from going downstairs.

1382
01:23:48,333 --> 01:23:50,458
"Diana, don't go down there."

1383
01:23:50,583 --> 01:23:53,333
"I'm just going to
go find my husband."

1384
01:23:54,042 --> 01:23:57,958
I go downstairs, and
there's a very happy little
threesome going on downstairs,

1385
01:23:58,042 --> 01:24:02,792
Camilla, Charles, and some
other man whom I don't, who
I didn't know, chatting away.

1386
01:24:04,167 --> 01:24:07,042
So I thought, all right,
this is your moment,
so I went and sat down,

1387
01:24:07,333 --> 01:24:09,833
joined in the conversation
as though, you know,
we were all best friends.

1388
01:24:11,833 --> 01:24:15,167
And I said, "Camilla,
I'd love to have a word
with you, if possible."

1389
01:24:16,042 --> 01:24:18,042
And she got really
uncomfortable, put her
head down and she said,

1390
01:24:18,208 --> 01:24:19,333
"Oh yes, all right."

1391
01:24:19,417 --> 01:24:21,250
And I said to the
two men, "Ok, boys.

1392
01:24:21,250 --> 01:24:24,708
I'm just gonna have a quick
word with Camilla, and
I'll be up in a minute."

1393
01:24:26,375 --> 01:24:28,583
And they shot upstairs,
like chickens with no heads.

1394
01:24:29,292 --> 01:24:31,958
And I could feel, upstairs,
all hell breaking loose.

1395
01:24:32,208 --> 01:24:34,458
"What is she going to do?"

1396
01:24:37,167 --> 01:24:38,958
So I said, "Camilla,
would you like to sit down?"

1397
01:24:38,958 --> 01:24:41,458
So we sat down and I was,
I mean, terrified of her.

1398
01:24:41,583 --> 01:24:44,083
And I said, "Camilla, I'd
just like you to know that I
know exactly what's going on."

1399
01:24:45,583 --> 01:24:47,583
And she said, "I don't know
what you're talking about."

1400
01:24:50,917 --> 01:24:53,417
And I said, "I know
what's going on between
you and Charles,

1401
01:24:53,708 --> 01:24:55,917
and I just want
you to know that."

1402
01:24:56,917 --> 01:24:59,083
And she said to me, very
interesting, she said to me,

1403
01:24:59,083 --> 01:25:01,292
"You've got
everything you've ever wanted.

1404
01:25:01,417 --> 01:25:04,083
You've got all the
men in the world falling
in love with you,

1405
01:25:04,083 --> 01:25:05,667
you've got two
beautiful children.

1406
01:25:05,750 --> 01:25:06,917
What more would you want?"

1407
01:25:07,083 --> 01:25:08,417
And I didn't believe
what she said anyway.

1408
01:25:08,500 --> 01:25:10,958
So I said,
"I want my husband."

1409
01:25:11,042 --> 01:25:13,958
And she said,
"Well," and she looked down
the whole time, like this.

1410
01:25:13,958 --> 01:25:16,208
And I said to Camilla,
"I'm sorry I'm in the way.

1411
01:25:16,208 --> 01:25:19,042
I obviously am in
the way, and it must be
hell for both of you.

1412
01:25:19,792 --> 01:25:20,833
But I do know
what's going on.

1413
01:25:20,917 --> 01:25:23,667
Don't treat
me like an idiot."

1414
01:25:25,917 --> 01:25:28,458
And in the car on the
way back, my husband was
over me like a bad rash.

1415
01:25:30,292 --> 01:25:32,292
I cried like I've
never cried before.

1416
01:25:32,625 --> 01:25:33,458
It was anger.

1417
01:25:33,458 --> 01:25:36,167
It was seven years of
pent up anger coming out.

1418
01:25:36,958 --> 01:25:38,458
I cried and
cried and cried.

1419
01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:43,458
I didn't sleep that night.

1420
01:25:43,542 --> 01:25:47,000
And the next morning I
woke up and I felt different,
a shift, a tremendous shift.

1421
01:25:48,042 --> 01:25:50,042
I'd done something,
said what I felt.

1422
01:25:51,083 --> 01:25:54,042
It was still the old jealousy
and the anger swilling
around, but it wasn't so,

1423
01:25:54,292 --> 01:25:56,833
it wasn't so deathly
as it'd been before.

1424
01:25:57,167 --> 01:25:59,958
And I said to him, at
the weekend, three days
later, "Oh, darling,

1425
01:25:59,958 --> 01:26:01,917
I'm sure you'll want to
know what I said to Camilla.

1426
01:26:02,208 --> 01:26:04,708
There's no secret.

1427
01:26:04,833 --> 01:26:06,583
You may ask her.

1428
01:26:06,708 --> 01:26:09,667
I just said I loved you and
there's nothing wrong in that.

1429
01:26:22,042 --> 01:26:23,792
-Six, seven,
eight, nine, ten.

1430
01:26:24,167 --> 01:26:26,333
One, two, three, four, five.

1431
01:26:27,542 --> 01:26:29,167
Thought you might
be interested.

1432
01:26:29,167 --> 01:26:30,375
DIANA: Oh, nice.

1433
01:26:30,375 --> 01:26:33,167
-Some quite interesting
bits and pieces in there.

1434
01:26:41,583 --> 01:26:43,708
Now, what's he got down here?

1435
01:26:43,833 --> 01:26:46,792
Questions, here we are.

1436
01:26:55,208 --> 01:26:59,542
-What have been the turning
moments in life that turned
you from victim to victor?

1437
01:27:01,208 --> 01:27:03,833
-Wow, love the
way he says that.

1438
01:27:05,417 --> 01:27:07,042
Gosh, can't remember
what triggered it off.

1439
01:27:07,125 --> 01:27:10,708
I supposed last summer
when Sam cut my hair
differently it let out

1440
01:27:10,708 --> 01:27:12,792
something quite different.

1441
01:27:13,542 --> 01:27:17,792
And when my bulimia finished
two years ago I suddenly felt
so much stronger mentally

1442
01:27:18,083 --> 01:27:21,792
and physically so
I was able to soldier on.

1443
01:27:31,750 --> 01:27:34,750
♪ ♪

1444
01:27:42,083 --> 01:27:44,417
(crowd talking).

1445
01:27:44,542 --> 01:27:46,917
I've got what my
mother's got where, however
bloody you're feeling,

1446
01:27:47,083 --> 01:27:49,583
you can put on the most
amazing show of happiness.

1447
01:27:56,542 --> 01:28:00,333
But what I couldn't
cope in those dark ages was

according to Andrew Morton,
the story stands up.

1501
01:31:04,708 --> 01:31:08,458
He says Diana is a victim
who became a princess
before she became a woman,

1502
01:31:08,792 --> 01:31:11,958

1513

that Prince Charles has
a tremendous responsibility

1514
01:31:58,542 --> 01:32:01,875
towards the
Princess of Wales, and I
think that Prince Charles

1515
01:32:01,875 --> 01:32:04,917
is very sad at what has
happened to the marriage,

1516
01:32:05,333 --> 01:32:09,708

sadder that the Princess
should have seen fit to air

nothing but Diana's misery

side of the story.

1521

Charles is a bad father,
how he's a bad husband,

he's uncaring, he drove
her to suicide attempts,

time has simply come
to adjust the balance.

Prince Charles
is not a cold man.

He is not an uncaring man.

The fact of the
matter is that because of
Diana's illness everything

1527

has built up in her mind.

1528

Separate lives, public

red faced and confused.

question whether she's
entitled to wear the crown.

for us that the dignity

-Of all the ironies about
Diana, perhaps the
greatest was this:

1666
01:45:16,542 --> 01:45:20,958
a girl given the name of
the ancient goddess of
hunting was, in the end,

1667

the most hunted
person of the modern age.

William and Harry, from a
similar fate, and I do this
here, Diana, on your behalf.

1670
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:42,583
Diana was the very
essence of compassion, of
duty, of style, of beauty.

1671
01:45:43,958 --> 01:45:47,167
All over the world,
she was symbol of
selfless humanity,

of the truly downtrodden.

nobility who was classless,

year that she needed no royal
title to continue to generate
her particular brand of magic.

There is no doubt that she
