HM Queen Elizabeth II:
[Charles comes into the room during news report]
Charles, isn't this awful? [long pause] HM Queen Elizabeth II:
What are you going to do about the boys? Prince Charles:
Let them sleep until we know more. HM Queen Elizabeth II:
Yes, that's sensible. Prince Charles:
I should go to Paris, I told my people to start organizing a jet. HM Queen Elizabeth II:
What, a private one? Prince Charles:
Yes. HM Queen Elizabeth II:
Isn't that precisely the sort of extravagance they always attack us for? Prince Charles:
How else am I supposed to get to Paris at this time? The airport at Aberdeen will be closed and... HM The Queen Mother:
Charles, Charles dear, use the Royal Flight; they keep one plane on permanent standby, in case I should kick the bucket. HM Queen Elizabeth II:
No, Mummy, that's out of the question; this isn't a matter of State. Prince Charles:
What are you talking about? HM Queen Elizabeth II:
Diana's no longer a member of the Royal Family, she's not an HRH, this is a private matter! Prince Charles:
She's mother to your grandchildren! HM The Queen Mother:
What's happening now? Prince Philip:
I don't know; I can't hear, everyone's shouting!
