Captain Fitzroy,
for the strongest reasons,

:20:05
both foreign and domestic...
:20:09
a degree of discretion.
:20:11
And a hold on public functions.
No levees or concerts.

:20:16
Just, uh... just... Hmm?
:20:20
The cork's too
tight in the bottle. That's it.

:20:23
He must be the first king
not to have a mistress.

:20:27
15 children
seem to me to indicate

:20:30
a degree of conscientiousness
in that regard.

:20:32
I'm talking of pleasure,
not duty.

:20:35
Actually,
there was a mysterious illness

:20:37
once before
in your father's time.

:20:39
Government was at a standstill.
:20:41
Well, it was of no consequence.
:20:43
It was of no consequence
because he recovered.

:20:46
It was of no consequence
because the Prince of Wales

:20:48
was a child of three
:20:50
and because Mr Fox
and his friends

:20:53
were not perched in the rafters
waiting to come in.

:20:58
We consider ourselves blessed
in our constitution.

:21:02
We tell ourselves
:21:03
our Parliament is the envy
of the world.

:21:06
But we live in the health
and well-being of the sovereign

:21:10
as much as any vizier
does the sultan.

:21:13
The sultan orders it better.
:21:15
He has his son
and heir strangled.

:21:25
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
:21:28
- Cricket? Pa?
- How's that?

:21:30
- What, what?
- Well played, hey, hey?

:21:32
To watch it, sir, was quite
distasteful. He was not himself.

:21:36
Warren, what do you think?
:21:38
I'm not the king's doctor.
:21:41
No, nor ever will be.
:21:43
He's more likely to go
to my tailor than my doctor.

:21:46
But, sir, this is not the same.
:21:54
Could he be ill?
:21:57
Um...
:21:59
Yes.
