00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.519
Calaruga Shark Media. The morning of June second, twenty twelve
2
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.320
dawns gray and drizzly across London, but inside Buckingham Palace,
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.760
the atmosphere crackles with an energy that no amount of
4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.519
British weather can dampen. Today marks the beginning of Queen
5
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.120
Elizabeth the Second's Diamond Jubilee weekend, a celebration sixty years
6
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:33.640
in the making that will showcase the monarchy at its
7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:38.320
most magnificent, while simultaneously raising questions about its future that
8
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:49.719
no amount of pageantry can fully answer. This is Crown
9
00:00:49.799 --> 00:01:03.320
and Controversy, Episode thirteen, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. In her
10
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.719
private apartments, the eighty six year old Queen reviews the
11
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.200
weekend schedule with her private secretary, a document so detailed
12
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.239
it accounts for every minute of the next four days.
13
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.159
But behind the careful planning lies a more complex reality.
14
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:22.480
This jubilee represents not just a celebration of longevity, but
15
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:27.239
a carefully orchestrated demonstration that the monarchy remains relevant in
16
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.280
an age of economic uncertainty and social change. Your Majesty,
17
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:36.920
her private secretary observes, the weather forecast remains concerning for
18
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.480
tomorrow's river pageant. The Queen's response is characteristically pragmatic. We've
19
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.560
celebrated jubilees in all weather before. The British people don't
20
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:51.159
expect sunshine, they expect commitment. It's a philosophy that has
21
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.879
guided her entire reign, the understanding that duty transcends comfort,
22
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:01.719
that service continues regardless of circumstances. But as she prepares
23
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.319
for what may be her final major jubilee celebration, the
24
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.960
Queen cannot ignore the reality that the monarchy she will
25
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.280
eventually leave behind face his challenges that would have been
26
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.159
unimaginable when she ascended the throne in nineteen fifty two.
27
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.039
The weekend's events have been meticulously planned to showcase four
28
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.560
generations of the House of Windsor, with each family member
29
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.879
assigned roles that highlight their contribution to the institution's future.
30
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:33.960
Prince Charles at sixty three represents continuity and preparation for
31
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:39.159
eventual succession. William and Catherine married just over a year,
32
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.319
embody the monarchy's youthful future, and Prince Harry, recently returned
33
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.840
from Afghanistan, provides living proof that royal privilege still comes
34
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.280
with real obligations. But even within this carefully choreographed family unity,
35
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.840
tensions simmer beneath the surface. The Duke of Edinburgh, at
36
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:03.439
l ninety years old, has been hospitalized with a bladder infection,
37
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.560
forcing last minute changes to the week end's protocols. His
38
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.639
absence creates both practical complications and symbolic concerns about the
39
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:18.719
royal family's advancing age and health vulnerabilities. The jubilee celebrations
40
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.439
begin with a horse race at Epsom Downs, where the
41
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.400
Queen's passion for thoroughbred racing provides a perfect metaphor for
42
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:30.840
her approach to monarchy, careful breeding, patient training, and the
43
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:35.199
understanding that success requires both natural ability and years of
44
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:40.639
discipline preparation. As she watches her horses compete, the Queen
45
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.240
seems more relaxed than she has appeared in months, reminded
46
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.199
of the private pleasures that have sustained her through six
47
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:52.840
decades of public service. Prince Charles accompanies his mother to Epsom,
48
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.479
Their easy conversation a striking contrast to the formal relationship
49
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.199
they maintained during his younger years. The future King has
50
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.680
finally grown into a role that once seemed to sit
51
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.719
uncomfortably on his shoulders. His environmental advocacy and charitable work
52
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.039
now seen as prescient rather than eccentric. But at sixty three,
53
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.519
he faces the reality that his apprenticeship may be the
54
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.079
longest in royal history. She has never looked better, Charles
55
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.439
confides to Camilla as they watch the Queen engage with
56
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.399
racing officials and horse owners. Sometimes I think the Crown
57
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:35.279
keeps her young. The observation contains both admiration and subtle melancholy,
58
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.759
the recognition that duty which energizes his mother may represent
59
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:42.720
a burden he will inherit at an age when most
60
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:48.480
men are considering retirement. The weekend centerpiece event, the Thames
61
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:53.560
Diamond Jubilee Pageant, represents the largest river celebration in London's history.
62
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.879
Over one thousand boats will accompany the royal barge down
63
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.680
the Thames from Chelsea to Tower Bridge in a spectacle designed
64
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:07.680
to demonstrate both the monarchy's historical roots and its contemporary relevance.
65
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:13.560
But organizing such an event requires coordination between multiple government agencies,
66
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:20.160
local authorities, and volunteer organizations, a logistical challenge that mirrors
67
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.480
the complexity of modern constitutional monarchy. The Queen's barge, the
68
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.480
Spirit of Chartwell, has been specially decorated for the occasion,
69
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.279
with gold lions, red velvet canopies and flowers representing each
70
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:39.120
of the sixteen Commonwealth realms. The vessel represents a perfect
71
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:44.079
fusion of tradition and modernity, its classical decorations powered by
72
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:49.399
contemporary technology and safety systems. Like the monarchy itself, the
73
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.199
barge must appear timeless while meeting very modern standards for
74
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.160
efficiency and security. As the Royal family boards the barge
75
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.720
at Cadogan Pier, the apse of Prince Philip creates a
76
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.319
visible gap in the usual arrangement. The Duke's hospitalization has
77
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.519
been carefully managed by Palace communication staff, but his absence
78
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.360
from such a significant event inevitably raises questions about the
79
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:21.560
Royal family's mortality and succession planning. Catherine, in a striking
80
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:26.240
red Alexander McQueen dress and matching hat, draws particular attention
81
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.000
from the crowds gathered along the river banks. Her first
82
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.800
major Jubilee appearance as a member of the Royal family
83
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.920
represents a kind of public examination, an opportunity for the
84
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:42.240
British people to evaluate their future. Queen consort. The pressure
85
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.360
is immense, but Catherine's composed demeanor suggests she's beginning to
86
00:06:46.439 --> 00:07:00.720
master the art of being simultaneously approachable and regal. The
87
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.040
pageant itself unfolds as a masterpiece of British organizational skill,
88
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.240
despite weather conditions that would challenge even the most experienced
89
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.720
event planners. Rain falls steadily throughout the afternoon, but the
90
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:18.639
crowds lining the Thames refuse to disperse, their enthusiasm, undimmed
91
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:24.199
by increasingly soggy conditions. Union Jack umbrellas bloom like flowers
92
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.040
along the riverbank, creating a patriotic canopy that transforms dreary
93
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.040
weather into something approaching visual poetry. The Queen stands throughout
94
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.199
the three hour journey, declining repeated suggestions from her staff
95
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.639
that she might prefer to sit at eighty six. Her
96
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:47.839
stamina impresses even her most experienced protection officers, but more importantly,
97
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.800
her visible endurance sends a message to the watching crowds.
98
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:59.079
Duty continues, regardless of personal comfort or advancing age. Prince William,
99
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.439
in his Royal Air Force uniform, appears particularly moved by
100
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:07.480
the public response to his grandmother's celebration. Having grown up
101
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.120
in the shadow of his parents failed marriage and his
102
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:13.959
mother's tragic death. William has sometimes struggled with the weight
103
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:18.560
of royal expectations, but watching tens of thousands of people brave,
104
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.040
miserable weather to celebrate his grandmother's service seems to reinforce
105
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:27.000
his own commitment to eventual kingship. Look at them, he
106
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.279
murmurs to Catherine as they wave to the cheering crowds.
107
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.039
They're not just celebrating her, They're celebrating what she represents.
108
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.440
The observation reveals William's growing understanding of monarchy as institution
109
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.559
rather than personality, the recognition that the crowds are cheering
110
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.919
not just for Elizabeth Windsor, but for the continuity and
111
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.919
stability she embodies. It's a lesson that will prove crucial
112
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.159
as he prepares for his own eventual role as King.
113
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:02.360
Prince Harry, still processing his rest and combat experiences in Afghanistan,
114
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.320
seems almost overwhelmed by the contrast between the Thames pageant
115
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.759
and the desert warfare he left behind just months earlier.
116
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:13.039
The young man who fired weapons in anger at Taliban
117
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.120
positions now waves graciously at children holding miniature union jacks.
118
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.879
The jarring transition from soldier to prince, providing its own
119
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:27.720
form of emotional whiplash. The flotilla includes vessels representing every
120
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:32.279
aspect of British maritime history, from historic sailing ships to
121
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:38.039
modern naval vessels, from working barges to pleasure craft. The
122
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.000
diversity of the fleet mirrors the complexity of modern Britain itself,
123
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:47.399
a nation struggling to balance tradition with innovation, heritage with progress,
124
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.600
national identity with global integration. As the Royal barge passes
125
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:57.840
landmarks along the Thames, each location triggers memories of previous
126
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:02.759
royal celebrations and ceremonies. Tower Bridge, where the Queen's coronation
127
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.879
procession passed in nineteen fifty three, the Houses of Parliament,
128
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.240
where she has delivered dozens of Queen's speeches, Westminster Abbey,
129
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.679
where she was crowned, and where William and Catherine were
130
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:19.440
married just over a year earlier. But perhaps the most
131
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.759
poignant moment comes as the flotilla passes the site of
132
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.519
the old London Bridge, where the Queen's father, King George
133
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.879
the sixth, stood in nineteen fifty one during the Festival
134
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.000
of Britain. Already ill with the cancer that would kill
135
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.000
him within months. The location serves as a reminder that
136
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:42.200
every jubilee celebration is also an acknowledgment of mortality, every
137
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.200
triumph shadowed by the understanding that all reigns eventually end.
138
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.679
The crowds gathered at Greenwich Naval College provide the pageant's
139
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:55.159
most emotional moment, their cheers echoing across the water with
140
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.759
an intensity that seems to surprise even the Queen. Here,
141
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.679
surrounded by buildings that have trained naval officers for centuries,
142
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.600
the connection between monarchy and national service becomes particularly clear.
143
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.759
The institution the queen represents has sent generations of young
144
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.799
men and women to serve in conflicts around the world,
145
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.039
a tradition continued by her own grandson's recent deployment to Afghanistan.
146
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.879
As evening approaches and the pageant draws to its conclusion
147
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.480
at Tower Bridge, the Queen appears genuinely moved by the
148
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.799
public response to her celebration. Throughout her reign, she has
149
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.360
maintained a careful emotional distance from her public role, understanding
150
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.720
that monarchy requires a certain theatrical reserve, But today that
151
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:47.480
reserve seems to soften slightly, allowing glimpses of the woman
152
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.919
behind the crown. The concert at Buckingham Palace the following
153
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.639
evening provides a very different showcase for royal celebration, featuring
154
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.960
contemporary artists performing for a crowd of ordinary citizens who
155
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.879
won lottery tickets for the chance to attend. The juxtaposition
156
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.639
of pop music with royal protocol creates moments of genuine charm,
157
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.080
as when Sir Paul McCartney struggles with a faulty microphone
158
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.879
while the Queen watches with apparent amusement from the Royal Box.
159
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:23.080
Catherine and William's obvious enjoyment of the musical performances, their
160
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.720
animated conversations with fellow concertgoers, and their willingness to join
161
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.840
in the sing along portions of the evening demonstrate the
162
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.559
younger generation's comfort with a more informal style of monarchy.
163
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.399
They represent continuity with royal tradition while embracing a more
164
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:57.080
accessible approach to public engagement. The weekend concludes with the
165
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.519
traditional balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace, where four generations of
166
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.840
the royal family gather to acknowledge the crowds gathered in
167
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:09.399
the mall, but this year's appearance carries additional significance, as
168
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.360
palace officials have carefully limited the balcony to working members
169
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:17.240
of the royal family, a subtle but important signal about
170
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.840
the monarchy's future direction. The decision to exclude peripheral family
171
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:26.000
members from the balcony appearance represents more than protocol adjustment.
172
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:29.879
It reflects a strategic vision for a slimmed down monarchy
173
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:35.399
focused on direct airs and their immediate families. Prince Andrew's daughters,
174
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:40.480
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie watch from windows inside the palace,
175
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.519
their exclusion from the balcony a clear indication of their
176
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:49.720
diminished role in future royal arrangements. As the Queen steps
177
00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.440
on to the balcony, the roar from the crowd below
178
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:56.720
seems to lift her spirits visibly. At eighty six, she
179
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.279
moves with the careful dignity of advanced age, but her
180
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.200
wave remains as crisp and practiced as it was during
181
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:08.679
her coronation sixty years earlier. The gesture represents decades of
182
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.600
muscle memory, the physical embodiment of a lifetime spent in
183
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.960
service to an ideal larger than personal preference or comfort.
184
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.799
Prince Charles stands to his mother's right, his position a
185
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:25.320
reminder that succession looms regardless of anyone's wishes or timing.
186
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.799
The Prince of Wales has waited longer than any air
187
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.879
in British history, his patients tested by decades of preparation
188
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.639
for a role that may come to him in his seventies,
189
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.480
But today he appears content to support his mother's celebration
190
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:45.679
rather than anticipate his own eventual succession. William and Catherine,
191
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.919
positioned to the Queen's left, represent the monarchy's longer term future,
192
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.600
the generation that will likely define royal relevance for the
193
00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:58.679
twenty first century. Their youth and obvious mutual affection provide
194
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.240
a sharp contrast to the p previous generation's marital difficulties,
195
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.240
suggesting that the institution may have learned from past mistakes
196
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:11.840
about balancing personal happiness with public duty. Prince Harry, recently
197
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.960
returned from combat deployment, stands slightly behind his father and brother,
198
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.320
His military bearing a reminder that royal privilege still comes
199
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.480
with real obligations. His service in Afghanistan has given him
200
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.519
a credibility with the British public that no amount of
201
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.399
charitable work could match proof that the modern monarchy still
202
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.960
believes in leading from the front when duty demands sacrifice.
203
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.759
The Queen's wave continues for several minutes, her acknowledgment of
204
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.840
the crowd's enthusiasm. Both gracious and measured. She has perfected
205
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.279
the art of appearing simultaneously grateful and dignified, engaged yet
206
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.279
appropriately distant. It's a performance that has sustained her through
207
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:59.080
six decades of public life, the careful balance between humanity
208
00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:04.919
and majesty that makes constitutional monarchy possible. As the royal
209
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.120
family retreats from the balcony, the Queen pauses for a
210
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.799
moment to look back at the crowd, her expression unreadable
211
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.919
but somehow wistful. At eighty six, she surely understands that
212
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:20.519
this may be her final major Jubilee celebration, the last
213
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.919
time she will stand on this balcony, acknowledging such massive
214
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:29.039
public enthusiasm for her service. The Diamond Jubilee weekend ends
215
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.360
with private family celebrations at Windsor Castle, away from cameras
216
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.519
and crowds, where the Queen can reflect on sixty years
217
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:40.159
of service and six decades of change that have transformed
218
00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.360
both Britain and the Commonwealth beyond recognition. The young woman
219
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.480
who ascended the throne in nineteen fifty two could never
220
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.960
have imagined the challenges her successes will face, but the
221
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.720
institution she has shaped, through pure longevity and consistent dedication,
222
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.279
appears positioned to survive whatever the future may be bring.
223
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.400
As the weekend concludes and normal life resumes across Britain,
224
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.839
the Diamond Jubileese legacy becomes clear, not just as celebration
225
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:14.440
of one remarkable woman's service, but as demonstration that constitutional
226
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:19.440
monarchy can adapt to changing times while maintaining its essential character.
227
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.000
The crowds who braved rain to cheer the Thames pageant
228
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.480
were not just honoring the past, but investing in the future,
229
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.640
expressing confidence that the institution of monarchy remains relevant in
230
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:39.000
an increasingly complex world. Next time on Crown and Controversy.
231
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:44.000
Palace corridors buzz with excitement and anxiety as the Duke
232
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.480
and Duchess of Cambridge prepare to announce life changing news.
233
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.880
But Catherine's pregnancy brings unexpected complications that will test both
234
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.119
her resilience and the Royal family's ability to protect their
235
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:02.480
newest member during her most vulnerable moments. Crown and Controversy
236
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:07.640
is a production of Calaroga Shark Media executive producers Mark
237
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.559
Francis and John McDermott. While no one truly knows what
238
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.559
happens behind closed palace doors, I've used news sources, on
