King Charles III Page #3

But he does not like me,

and has made explicit that

he will not change a single thing

in light of what I say.

And if this is the case,

then, erm, what am I?

My mother gained respect

from what she'd seen.

The Blitz... She sat with Churchill,

and met all the most important

figures of her years.

But what am I?

It may not be too late

to stop the law.

But when I sign the bill...

If you sign the bill.

For surely that requirement

remains your choice.

A ceremonial right, not one to use.

I hate to differ,

but I think this strikes the heart

of why we have a Queen - or King.

They are the check and

balance of our land.

I've long believed that we could

never see a Nazi party

making British laws

because the reigning monarch

then would stand his ground

and, being head of state,

refuse to sign -

refuse to let the country

lose democracy,

and, doing so, provoke revolt.

It's not our place.

Would do more harm than good.

Then not important.

Write your name in ink,

and un-amended let it into law.

Thank you, er, Mrs Stevens.

Your Majesty.

This is the birth day of life

Hey, you're lucky -

she doesn't usually put out much.

Oh, yeah, actually we,

we haven't done anything like that,

just went out, had fun, so... Yeah!

All right, too late for tea.

Got a seminar. Right.

Good to meet you.

I'm Robert. Bob. What's your name?

Harry.

Harry. Right. Bye.

Hey!

Erm, I was just...making some tea.

Er, I'll, er, get the milk.

You all right?

Yeah, great. Really great.

God, can you believe it?

What?

Everything we did last night.

Wetherspoons. Bowling.

Dans Le Noir.

The restaurant where you eat

in the pitch black!

They thought I was an estate agent.

THEY LAUGH:

This whole life!

I want more.

No-one's stopping you.

A night, yeah,

but I can't do this with my life!

Why not?

It's not what I was born into.

Then change it.

The world you were born into

was paid for

by those people in Wetherspoons.

You take money from their hard work

and you spend it on planes,

and palaces,

and, in your case,

flights to Las Vegas.

It's not your money to spend.

Have you been to Las Vegas?

It looks boring.

Yeah! Yeah, it is, actually.

My mate Dee, she had her baby

in this crap hospital.

Shared ward,

pissed-off midwife, 20 mums.

She puts on the TV,

and what does she see?

Kate, your sister-in-law,

with her perfect baby,

outside her private hospital.

Dee was like,

"I paid for that. My taxes."

You're very beautiful.

Don't patronise me -

I know what you're saying,

and I agree with it,

but I'm adding, in addition,
