Subtitles section

The Queen is not amused, neither is Prince Charles, and neither is Lady Diana Spencer.

There's been unprecedented tension between the royal family and the press over the explosion of publicity about whom Charles is or isn't going to marry.

Fleet Street claims a wedding announcement is imminent, but then Fleet Street can hardly boast a credible record when it comes to pairing off the world's most eligible bachelor.

He's been linked with almost as many sweet young things as Casanova, from Princess Marie Astrid to Farrah Fawcett Majors.

Many have made the headlines, none the alter.

But then again, the royal family also suffers from a credibility problem, a past record of silence and denials when marriages, divorces and so on were actually being arranged.

So is Lady Diana Spencer, a 19-year-old kindergarten teacher and the 11th cousin to the future king, really the one?

She's in love with him.

I mean, there's no doubt about that.

Whether he will ever be in love with her is another matter.

Whether he loves her, I don't know.

I think the engagement will be the end of what I call the season when the Queen's entertained and discharged all her official duties in about July, and they'll be married in November.

Is Lady Diana the one?

I think so, yeah.

It should have been a right royal fairy tale.

The palace, the pomp,

Prince Charming and a lovely English rose.

And even black-hearted villains, the plundering press.

Now, where have you all come from?

We're the Australian crew.

Australian?

What next?

We're the Australian ones.

Bloody hell.

Like we said, it should have been a fairy tale, but it's not, because the handsome prince won't let the storytellers, that's the press, have their happy-ever-after ending, at least not yet.

Prince Charles won't confirm what the experts already know, that he's chosen his queen, Lady Diana Spencer.

And when her sister went out with Charles about five years ago, she was mortified because she was only a little girl then, 13, 14, and there was her sister going out with the guy she used to dream about and pray about,

You know, please, God, let me marry Prince Charles.

Nigel Dempster of the Daily Mail is the world's foremost gossip columnist.

He has the right connections to get the inside story on this royal romance.

And by some total freak chance, in the middle of last year, Prince Charles ran out of girls and turned to her.

Well, I don't think for a man of 32 to marry a girl of 19 is a scandal.

Harry Arnold, who introduced Lady Diana to the world in September last year.

Is she the one?

Well, I've said so, and I just hope I'm right.

Oh, Charlie is my darling, my darling, my darling.

Oh, Charlie is my darling.

The Prince of Wales came to women later in life than usual, but once he got the taste...

Is Prince Charles a bit of a Casanova?

Well, I wouldn't call him a Casanova or even a bit of a Casanova, because Casanova was a person with very little discrimination, and I think Prince Charles has a great deal of discrimination.

Anne Matheson has been reporting the royal family for more than 40 years.

How does he treat his women?

Is he really Prince Charming?

I think he has a certain arrogance, and I think he expects any lady that he invites to be available.

I think he likes sexy women, and sexy women can be anything.

I have noticed one thing about his women, they all seem to be well-stacked.

They're not exactly boyish-figured.

Does Prince Charles treat his ladies well?

I'm told not, inasmuch as his biographer, Anthony Holden, a good friend of mine, says that one girl, one evening, spent most of the evening before Prince Charles made his jump or his leap or whatever,

Talking about his previous girlfriends, and what a great success he'd been with them.

That's not my idea, but he's not been able to develop relationships as you and I have.

He has to romance a girl in strict confines.

He can only take a pheasant shooting, or up in his helicopter.

It's very difficult to do things with a gun, and therefore they've got to fall in love with him and be able to enjoy his life in a very, very strict level.

They can't go to the cinema and neck in the back row or the front row.

They can't do wild things in Hyde Park on dark nights.

If they, as I said, if they kiss and tell, then he does.

He turns them over very quickly.

But I'm told that when he's with them, he's Prince Charming himself, absolutely.

Some of them have been married, and you can't get a more discreet woman than a married woman.

Prince Charles has had his royal horseplay, and now at 32, he has a royal duty, to produce heirs to the throne.

And first, that means marriage.

Lady Diana was invited down to Sandringham.

The press circus wasn't, but it came anyway.

I think what he does, he tries little schemes and tricks.

Arthur Edwards is from another exclusive English dynasty, the Cockney.

He's been close to Prince Charles now for many years, snapping front-page photographs.

He used a scheme.

He came out, walking his dog, and all the press descended on him, except the sun.

We were around the back, and she went out the back door, and we got her, right?

Morning.

My name is Martin from Australian Television.

Morning, sir.

I have an appointment with Mr Shea.

Mr Shea, your name is?

Martin.

The cameras all stop here, and so does all the other official information about Lady Diana.

The Queen and her advisers are weighing up public opinion.

Is the

Time right for Charles to marry?

Will a British public, broke and battling against unemployment, lash out for a royal wedding?

Prince Charles has also let it be known privately that he needs more time to decide.

As King of England, he cannot divorce.

So until Buckingham Palace makes up its mind, the British press and everyone else can only speculate.

So that's it then.

A long walk down the red carpet for about 100 yards, past all the gilt-edged paintings, there must be about 100 of those too, to the press secretary's office for a 10-minute private briefing.

Off the record, nothing to be quoted.

He can't talk about anything else but the official engagements, the official calendar.

As for romantic engagements, that's just not his business.

At least, not yet.

The royal family relies on the media and the press, particularly popular newspapers like our own with 12 million readers, for their image.

And we project that image.

And if we stop taking photographs of them and start writing stories about them, then people will forget them.

At the moment, all you've got bad with the royal family is Princess Anne being rather haughty and swearing.

And Prince Charles, well, he leads a very normal life.

He's unlike certain ancestors, unlike certain relations.

He's totally normal.

He likes women.

Because just think what would happen if the next King of England was homosexual.

This story caused a sensation.

It told of a midnight rendezvous on board the royal train.

The palace was furious and called the story a total fabrication, demanding an apology.

The Sunday Mirror stuck to its gun.

The

British Parliament joined in and deplored what it called the harassment of Lady Diana and Prince Charles.

Are they fair game?

Oh, sure, because we paid them.

What he's got now, in terms of people watching over his activities, is not going to be anything like when he gets married.

Because people are looking for Prince Charles to make a mistake.

They're looking for the Queen.

They've now rather given up on her.

They don't have to look for Princess Margaret because Princess Margaret is always making mistakes.

Princess Anne similarly.

They're looking for this man to do something which will scandalise the world.

Prince Charles comes to the exclusive Swiss resort of Clostres every year for a fortnight's ski.

This picture postcard place is just for fun, where kids and princes play and sometimes even pose.

I mean, he came here last year for a funny face-on to the year before he skied down this slope on his belly.

Will he pose for you?

Well, he says he won't, but I know that he does.

He says, I refuse to pose for them.

I mean, I'm not a clown prince.

This year it's different.

Clostres is invaded by the paparazzi, the notorious Continental Press, looking in vain for Lady Diana.

If I appear annoyed and fed up, it's because I am.

We understand.

In fact, we're doing a story on harassment.

We don't want to appear to be harassing you.

No, I'm sorry.

It really does.

There's a limit, I find, to how long one's patience can last.

We had been told that there were a great many up here.

They were surprised there were so few.

Well, I mean, they're normally here.

But I don't know...

I mean, they come and go.

Had there been some agreement to give you a break for a couple of weeks up here?

I shouldn't be saying.

It's the editors.

You know, they send them.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to coming to Australia.

Good.

We're looking forward to having you.

So without Lady Diana, Prince Charles goes skiing.

The paparazzi go home.

And the hardcore hangs in.

It's crazy.

How can you call this harassment?

Here we are, 6,000 feet up a mountain.

And we can't even see him.

And we haven't seen him for 12 hours.

There is a set of rules, and we don't break them.

We don't embarrass him.

We stand back.

We are respectful.

We don't take photographs of them eating and drinking.

And we don't do what the paparazzi do.

This year, for the first time, Prince Charles jumps the queue to the ski lift.

And he leaves the British press bouncing around the Swiss Alps, still desperate for that special photograph of Charles and Diana.

Three times on this trip, he said, what do you want me to do?

You know, stand with a black lady?

Kiss a black lady?

Is that what you want?

I said, no, I don't want that.

I want a good picture of you.

You know what publishes.

You know what will go in my paper.

I'm not interested in all this crap that goes in German magazines.

I want a good picture of you.

You know what it is.

You will make sure it gets in the paper.

Meanwhile, back in Kensington, Lady Diana follows the golden rule.

She tucks her chin in, smiles and says nothing.

Good morning, Lady Diana.

How are you this morning?

We've come from Australia.

We're on our own here.

It's a long way to come, isn't it?

It is.

She's going to discover that the harassment, so-called, i.e.

People standing around waiting for her, is going to increase because the more she's seen with him, the more it's going to become a stone-cold certainty.

This is rather like running a test team.

Do you think the palace is doing that?

No, the palace isn't, but certainly Prince Charles is.

She's facing up to some medium-fast bowling at the moment.

Shortly, we're going to get Denis Lilly and Tomo at her.

I have this feeling that they're just really seeing whether she can really stand up to it.

Is she?

I think she's doing very well.

It sounds very brutal, though, to say that she must be put to this test.

It has to be and there's no other way.

If you want to do triple somersaults in a circus, you've got to learn how to do them.

Because if you are going to be the Queen of England, or at least the Queen of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Dominions, Dependencies, Colonies or whatever that's left, you've got to realise that you're going to have to devote much of the rest of your life,

Maybe 50 years, to this form of intrusion, inspection and perhaps derision.

They're changing the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Christopher Robin went down with Alice.

It's not the wedding march yet, but everyone is convinced that it's on.

But the palace will give the snappers their precious photograph, sometime after Prince Charles comes back from Australia in April.

The fact is, Lady Diana Spencer is the right girl at the right time.

The Princess of Wales-to-be has got to be, A, virginal, so that you don't have the boyfriends coming out of the woodwork.

B, she's got to love Prince Charles to the point of distraction, because in future she's going to lead a very close and scrutinised life.

C, she's going to like having children, because there's going to be a lot of children.

And so, although you've got nannies and nurses and all the rest, you're going to be flat on your back for a certain amount of time, producing children and then looking after them.

And she's got to enjoy reading things which can possibly be unpleasant and maybe very untruthful about her and about her husband and about their relations for the rest of her life.
