coming to attention you will not cut or def face your Sentry box the English winter and the queen is home again they’re changing guard at Buckingham Palace all those blank windows that visitors have stared at week after week and year after year knowing perfectly well they could never see what goes on behind them now we can we can look at the inner workings of the busiest Royal Palace in the world the Lord Chamberlain is the man responsible to the queen for the official working of Buckingham Palace all the five departments come
under him morning morning thank you so much first there’s the office of the private secretary next there’s The Keeper of the privy person responsible for money then the Lord Chamberlain’s own Department responsible for ceremonial and all aspects of the monarchy on show to the public this includes the Priceless art collection close on 20,000 paintings and drawings Charles I began it George III George IV and the prince consort improved it and it’s still growing fourth comes the crown aquar Department responsible for
transportation now no other cars in the world can have been so stared at so photographed or have traveled so far so slowly previous monarchs have been reluctant to get rid of State coaches the result is one of the world’s finest collections of antique coaches and carriages still in regular use for ceremonial occasions I think I went really have made do with that one today finally there’s the largest Department of all the master of the household he runs the palace under him come Pages footman Butlers under Butlers
yman of the Wine sellers yman of the pantries the Royal Chef the Royal pastry chef the controller of supply and the housekeepers some of the Sheets still in use were Queen Victoria’s some of the blankets were William The Four’s and Char has this all been checked yes most of it’s been checked been checked just this is the um delivery we use uh as we for the dinners and uh dinner’s on the yacht with black trousers that’s very bad I’ve been worn by somebody too big for the uniform there’s been too much strain on the
scene embroidery kept very well I probably good for another 5 Years anyway botles of PO for witer and also entertaining is a major function of every head of state I suggest that we go into something plain and simple to start with like a a cream of vegetable soup of some kind now what would you recommend godum madine the main course I think we ought to go in for lamb on this occasion yes I think and that was that and now the sweet pineapples are very good we can do it like we did when we were on the South African toura cut in cut in half long
ways right and refill in shaped we can call that an glass um Royale very little of the royal plate dates from before Charles II because Charles the minted nearly all of it to pay his troops in the Civil War and then George IV redesigned most of what was left beyond the silver pantry is the gold Pantry for even more Splendid occasions we you want about 20 cands for our SP uh plus all our usual ice failes Pines of course we’ll need all our large candas with about 20 of those we have to put in and we’ll set it up in exactly
the same our Shields behind the throne everything the same and it should make rather a nice I think a nice really nice setting for it all this and a lot more comes under the master of the household and not only here he’s responsible for the household wherever it is Sandringham Balmoral Windsor hot or even on the brania quite a lot of people coming tonight quite a lot I’ve got a t in there I’d like to show you it’s for improving the canteen for the staff at winds a castle this this would be where the sort
of which could be used during the day not only that’s what I had yes ma’am and that not only women but where it would be more The Atmosphere Restaurant than of a p mhm which is what this is and much appreciated there is and make this bigger too cuz this is very small at the moment it’s much too small particularly at certain times here when St and so for very awful question and then there’s the question about the visit to the president of United States the music room for lunch do you think I think that would be a very good place for lunch we
don’t want to very big party I don’t think no that’s what I understood yes cuz I imagine he be it’ll be a very busy day for him anyway so he doesn’t want to make it too big when a new Ambassador comes to present his credentials all five departments have a hand the crown of query sends the coaches the Lord Chamberlin Department arranges the ceremony the private secretaries leas with the foreign office the master of the household prepares the rooms and The Keeper of the privy purse foots the bill all over the world the reception of
ambassadors is extremely formal this is to make sure they are all treated exactly the same have no cause to complain that their country is being slighted I was very Mr Le may see you I think he met I hope you had a reasonably reason good bit of sleep after the long delay I’m terribly worried about you at that hour in the morning now ex now take your your hat and day now we go slow
down a good view of the G the new Ambassador is equally anxious to keep to the time honored formula and the Marshall of the Diplomatic Corp and his AIDS have been through it all a 100 times before thank you uh first of all the permanent under secretary goes in uh then your Ambassador goes in when the doors open we all take a pace forward with the left left foot then you walk up to the queen who 6 or seven Paces away she holds out her hand you shake her hand bar again you turn and walk through the door you turn around once

Rehabilitation would would you present the members of film oh I’d be delighted to have them come it’s not just when new ambassadors call that everything has to be right all through the year the staff are preparing for one sort of occasion or another kinds of function vary the standard must the biggest event of the winter is the Diplomatic evening in November when representatives of all the foreign embassies are received at Buckingham Paris it was a big enough event even before the war when there were only 22
embassies and high commissions now it’s grown to 107 countries and that means welcoming 1,400 guests The Diplomatic evening is one of the most Splendid occasions of the season the ambassadors are accredited not to the British government but to the court of St James’s and it is a courtly occasion inside the door come on you’re ready to be right all right say ready

amazing he does he knows about this the year draws on and it’s nearly Christmas the household is on the move to Windsor when the royal family moves about a hundred of the staff and household go with them the alternative would be to keep all the Palaces and Residences permanently staed for exactly the same reason medieval and Tudor monarchs took their court and retinue with them when they progressed around the country the first Windsor Castle was built here 900 years ago by William the Conqueror most of the present Castle
still dates back to the 14th century put most of the cooks up in the um Clock Tower so the court moves to Windsor yeah and then um Mr OB the Royal Chef I put him in Edward the thir oh yeah oh right that’s fine the queen is in her castle the Irish guards are on parade and it’s Christmas Eve
Christmas at Windsor is a family reunion but also a sort of office party throughout the year all branches of the family in their different ways have been working at the family business by the sort of accident that happens in families they are different enough in age and inclinations to reflect a wider variety of interests than a single person ever could they come from different Generations they move in different worlds morning see you again The Duchess of Kent for instance is a Yorkshire woman patron of Yorkshire Cricket Club and

is rather more than a family occasion Queen is supreme governor of the Church of England and all Bishops and archbishops pay homage to her and throughout the country at this same moment thousands of other congregations are walking home from church having Just prayed for the health of our most gracious Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth and all the royal family the year’s Long round of Duties takes the queen and Prince Philip away from their children more than most parents so they try and preserve the holidays as time when the whole family
can be together what sounds sounds like sounds like sounds like your hair dark hair hair long hair now your hair what happen well I think you’d better try another employment the fish a new year at Buckingham Paris Christmas holidays are over and it’s back to work as Prince Philip once put
it the royal family is living over the shop again the lady in waiting is back answering letters for the queen Dear Jane I’m commanded by the queen to thank you for your letter Majesty thought it was so nice of you to invite her to your birthday party the queen is very sorry that she will not be able to come just as far as CL you go please New Year’s honors among them a Knighthood for the inventor of the holoc craft recommendations for honors come through the government but it’s the Sovereign who bestows them Sir Christopher
Cocker sir Frederick Hayday there are 13 investors in the year altogether about 2,000 people watched by their admiring families receive their honors personally from the Queen the most excellent order of the British Empire the new year and a new term the children are back at school the only one still at home is Prince Edward he’s five and in a private class in the palace with some cousins and Friends he lives with us a a little oh no the cat lived with rip on in
a house that down the street yes very nice indeed Edward you did read nicely goodbye now you go back to your place Sarah would you like to come and read to me prince Andrew is nine and has gone to boarding school unlike the queen herself this generation of Royal children is not being educated privately by tutors Mark the wing Mark the wing Mark the wing I call you through Princess Anne was at boarding school too since then she’s been learning French the language of diplomacy and for royalty a craft
skill here as well as school and University Prince Charles’s education has included travel abroad and many activities such as flying his parents don’t believe in special training for the monarchy only broad preparation so all this comes on top of a vared life at Cambridge and the work for his degree in history what sort of things do you do is it just going around taking off and going around the and Landing again that’s right you wear a parachute have you been told how to use it rather the same sensation as Spider
in a I always thought you had a sort of thing like a l chain which you pulled UND do it in fact you pull it across you know like that it’s frankly funny because if there is an emergency in order to get out you know first of all you got to undo your your seat belt you see yes then you got to sort of put those away and you pull back the hood which gets stuck takes off Conor’s head on the way and then by that time he’ll write this much off the ground may we take the newon park State Church Farm next which is an attractive
stone-built building but it’s not really suitable for besides being Prince of Wales he is also Duke of Cornwall the duy owns 130,000 acres in the west of England as well as certain other property like the oval cricket ground Prince Charles holds his own Council though until he’s 21 the queen takes the chair yeah I mean this is a farmhouse that that is sellable I mean yes make good it wants an awful lot doing but in fact the price is is reasonably satisfaction I think now the other thing I think we might turn to next which is of
considerable greater size is the manner of Kennington and the development of the oal in consideration for surrendering their lease the duy would Grant a new lease to the Cricket Club um at a nominal rent would Mr BR now come forward and demonstrate all this scheme on the model here um this part of it is the Pavilion ma’am with seats for 4,000 members in two tiers one of the top here and one underneath which is covered there are the boxes here for the press and for television and these are these are flats these are flats mainly
in these five blocks for there and this very high one and and what about the middle during the winter when when the cricket’s not going on there just be pre occasion really yes this looks very difficult for concentration on Crick this all playing out there don’t you yeah well it’ll be very interesting if that go through this then is the preparation preparation for what what finally is the Constitutional role of sovereign for which Prince Charles is being prepared first The Sovereign and the law Justice is administered in the Queen’s
name if politicians run the courts Liberty is in danger while the queen is head the judges are secure and changing government can’t dismiss them so it’s the Queen’s bench Queen’s Council the Queen’s justices then the Sovereign and Parliament the highest Authority in the land by far the most important practical link between the queen and her government is the Tuesday evening visit of the Prime Minister to Buckingham Palace the Prime Minister sets out from Downing Street on the same 1,000 yard Journey
that his predecessors have made for over 200 years even when Buckingham Palace was the smaller Buckingham house this is the journey Churchill made in the dark days of the war to talk to George V 6 the journey aswith used to make during the Great War to see George V the journey Disraeli made 100 years before Harold Wilson to discuss the Eastern question with Queen Victoria the journey Lord North used to make to tell George theii about the troubles with the American colonies it is the moment when democracy and monarchy
meet The Sovereign has no power to alter the prime minister’s plans but is entitled to be consulted to encourage and to warn a young or new Sovereign can do little of either an older one may have knowledge and experience going back well beyond the prime ministers the present Queen has already received five prime ministers first was s Winston Churchill in 1952 mesty will receive you prime minister I’m just your

news shots you know oh yes you know when you were in Australia and uh and yes and all the rest and my uh both of my uh my daughters uh follow both follow you both very closely yes that’s right that’s right I’m sure one longer how is your Julie family see Julie the old it’s spring once again and the Queen’s year comes full circle ahead lie more meetings more occasions More Travel Austria Scotland Wales and the Commonwealth Australia New Zealand more pageantry more ceremony this is not the panoply of power but while the queen occupies the highest
office of State no one else can while she is head of the law no politician can take over the courts while she is Head of the State no generals can take over the government while she is head of the services no wbe dictator can turn the Army against the people the strength of the monarchy does not lie in the power it gives the Sovereign but in the power it denies eyes to anyone else it is all this the Prince Charles will one day inherit you could call it a high and solemn Destiny or you could say that he will
just be carrying on the family business which doesn’t mean being solemn all the time she was trying so hard not to laugh your mother was tips up into a lap osband in in in a when you know when she was very old and the Ambassador came into the durbar room that great long room and he skidded and he landed you know feet first at the bottom of the steps of the throne and all the others you know having the most terrible trouble to avoid floding and laughter the only thing that that they could notice with with the Queen Victoria was
that she was just trembling the slightest little bit was all this is going on but she never gave into time and after and afterwards of course down her cheeks she had this incredible control did to do that cuz my father will say he had T prob oh he did have some very strange habits of Father I remember when I used to come up to Royal Lodge I asked when I arrived on if it where the the king and they said he’s he’s in the garden and I went out and I there’s nothing to be seen except a lot of terribly rude words and language coming
out of a Rendon Bush so I eventually found him there hacking away wearing a bare skin cap which he’s getting ready know whether to laugh or to cry you can sort of pretend to blow your nose and in fact hold it you know it is extremely difficult sometimes to keep a straight face when Home Secretary with his hand every day and he came in beforehand like they do and he said to me there’s there’s a gorilla coming in so I said you know what an extraordinary remark to make very unkind about anybody and so you know I stood in the middle of
the room and pressed the Bell and the do was opened there was a grill up and I had the most terrible trouble in keeping you know he had short body long arms and but he was dressed I’ve had the most apping trouble because nobody else knew me what he said you see if that happened to me I I disolve to walk out we cannot know what Prince Charles will make of it over the centuries his family has provided some sovereigns who will be remembered forever and a few who are best forgotten but if he needs help there is a thousand years of family
experience to call Colum
