Mr. Janvrin : I want everyone in, ASAP.
Maid : Ma'am ? Ma'am? Ma'am, Mr. Janvrin is here to see you.
Prince Philip : What ?
Mr. Janvrin : Good evening, Ma'am. I'm sorry to disturb. But I just had a call
from our Embassy in Paris. It's the Princess of Wales.
Prince Philip : Why? What's she done now?
Tony Blair : I see, em...Who are we speaking to then? Right, we'll keep
updated. It's Diana, she's been in a car accident in Paris.
Ms Blair : Is it serious ?
Tony Blair : Apparently. Dodi Fayed is dead.
Anchor A : Let's just recap on
the details of those injuries, Maxine.
Anchor B : Yes Nick, what they're saying is...that the Princess is in the intensive
care unit of a
south-east Paris hospital. She has a concussion, a broken arm, and...
Prince Philip : What was she doing in Paris? I thought she was supposed to be
in London.
The Queen Oh, you know what she's like. Charles, isn't this awful? What are
you going to do about the boys?
Prince Charles : Let them sleep until we know more.
The Queen Yes, that's sensible.
Prince Charles : I should go to Paris. I told my people to start organizing a
jet.
The Queen What, a private one ?
Prince Charles : Yes.
The Queen Isn't that precisely the sort of extravagance they always attack
us for ?
Prince Charles : How else am I supposed to get to Paris at this time of night?
The airport at Aberdeen will be closed.
Queen Mother : Charles, use the royal flight. They keep
one plane on permanent standby in
case I should kick
the bucket.
Queen : No mummy! That's out
of the question. This isn't a matter of state.
Prince Charles : What are you talking about ? - Diana is no longer a member of
the royal family.
Queen : She's not a HRH.
This is a private matter.
Prince Charles : She's mother to your grandchildren.
Queen Mother : What is happening now?
Prince Philip : I don't know. I can't hear. Everyone's shouting. |
