Prince Andrew's Wedding Day Hissy Fit | The Crown (Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell)

didn't tell me the groom's having last minute doubts no Andrews asked us all to come together because he wants someone to explain why God's name is going on with our mother the wedding of the Duke of York should be a landmark event at home and abroad instead thanks to the Queen's inexplicable lapse of judgment the newspapers are full not of Sarah and me the mommy's Rift with the prime minister oh yes Sunday times you have to admit she has made a God awful mess of it what was she thinking she did what she spent her life telling me I cannot do she opened her mouth and expressed an opinion and is being slaughtered for it bloody thoughtless of her if you ask me come on you can hardly blame the newspapers for wanting to write about something other than the wedding of a fringe member of the family who'll never be king ouch well it's true isn't it fourth in line now and by the time Williams had children his children have had children Fringe [Music] sh you really just say that on my wedding day that was impressively Cy [Music] it would be hard to imagine there'd be anything that could knock a royal wedding into second place on the news but the continuing escalation of the row between the queen and Mrs Thatcher threatens to overshadow the nuls the queen has made a very serious error of judgment and this Sunday Times article has lit a touch paper to what could very quick become a major constitutional crisis what the palace was hoping to achieve by this is hard to say but the fact is they've stirred up a hornet's nest and so far seem to lack the wit to avoid getting stung this story if I might interrupt a serious impact one unfortunate consequence of our denial of the story is that the editor of the Sunday Times has now come out all guns blazing and whilst we could continue to deny it my own view is that it's no longer to our advantage and I think we're now going to have to give them something what a culprit to deflect blame from you and to put these Flames out ASAP we need to let them have a name Martin Michael uh this escalating situation between Buckingham Palace and Downing Street you can't say I didn't warn you I think you know how seriously the queen takes her responsibility and how much she values the close relationship between the two houses of course and to see it compromised like this as a a consequence of your actions what fact is that the steps you took were completely unprofessional Martin stop it imputing the Integrity of the palace and of the queen herself we know one another too well this is madness I hope we can rely on you to do the right thing of course [Music] [Music]
