King Charles III Page #2

Unproven accusations,

photographs obtained by theft,

are daily

'splayed as front page news.

You do not think

a principle is here at stake?

There's something vital to our sense

of freedom is being risked.

Your Majesty,

of course I understand that view,

and have myself considered

where the balance lay, but there is

opinion that something must be done.

The law is what your people want.

They want the leaders they elected

standing up and making choices

they themselves cannot.

They pay their taxes well,

so we - or you -

may take the time to study hard and

make the right decision on the day.

I know. I have -

and this is what we think.

I have to say it does surprise

that with the great intrusion

they have made into your life,

you'd have

them left untouched like this.

What of the pack of wolves

that mercilessly did hunt to death

your late and much missed wife?

That's bold.

So soon in our relationship.

What's bold?

To utilise Diana.

I'm sorry.

But, in fact, it's rare

to have to justify the passing

of a law like this.

I would have thought of all

the victims,

you'd feel the strongest

something must be done.

As a man, a father, husband,

yes, I do.

But that's not who we are

when sat with you in here.

Not just am I defender of the faith,

but in addition I protect

this country's unique force

and way of life.

Politically our sway and influence

are in decline

but still we demonstrate the way a

just society should work -

judiciary, democracy and more -

a low corruption rate.

All those who hold the strings held

to account themselves in turn.

Your Majesty - thanks.

I understand and say I will,

if opportunity transpires,

make sure I take your views

into account.

Perhaps we should move on

to other things.

It is the law on privacy

that holds concern.

And so I ask you tell me what,

as my Prime Minister, you do intend.

The law is made, and passed.

It is too late.

My views, to you,

mean nothing, then?

Your views mean much,

but on this subject, yes.

I disagree.

The public vote to choose the

members of their parliament,

and that's where decisions

will be made.

Not in this room

between the two of us.

Then our weekly meeting's done.

I should apologise

if I've caused offence -

I simply wanted to explain my view.

And so you have.

We'll meet next week.

You recognise my guest.

Mr Evans.

I reasoned thus - in case there did

arise an accusation

that my vision here

of left and right

was being tilted

out of proper balance,

I will from now on make sure

each week

I have the usual half an

hour with my good Prime Minister,

but then give equal time

for Leader of the Opposition, too.

Mr Evans is a man of principle.
