00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: This is jem Nation with jonesy Alanda Well the Crown

2

Speaker 1: Season five.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: Such evocative music, this would have to be one of

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: the most anticipated series to be released this year. The

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: season takes us into the nineteen nineties, a period in

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 2: time where the royals were in crisis trying to remain

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: relevant to the world. Three of the Queen's children were

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: divorced and it was the tragic death of Princess Diana

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: of Wales. So to tell us more about this new season,

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: we have Claudia Harrison, Princess Anne, James Murray, Prince Andrew,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: and Marcia Warren the Queen mother.

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: Well here they are. Look at this so good.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: Morning, good morning. It's so exciting to talk to you.

14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: This is such an anticipated series. How exciting for the

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: three of you the first time you'll be stepping into

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: these familiar characters. How do you go about becoming a

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: character or a person that is one of the most

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: recognizable people in the world. Marcia will start with you

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: with the Queen mum's shoes comfortable to slip.

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 4: Into terrible responsibility and everybody who speak to who knew

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: her absolutely adored her. So that's another problem. But she

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 4: the last interview she gave was in nineteen twenty three. Wow,

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: And the King then was so furious with her for

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: talking to the press. She never did another interview, So,

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 4: as you can imagine, it's a bit difficult to know

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: what she sounded like behind palace doors as opposed to

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: making a speech.

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: The totally different times. You know, you've got to everyone.

29
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 5: Every royal is just talking now, but back then she

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 5: didn't say a word word.

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely, the changes she saw, it's unbelievable. It was all

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: horses then when she was young, and then it's into

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: computers and tapes and extraordinary and she was reviewing troops

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: to one hundred and one.

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: It's probably her favorite bit on.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: Reviewing the truth.

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 6: She loved.

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: She loved the military.

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: We see also with you Claudia and Anne at the

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: Queen's funeral. We saw the dignity and the stoicism of

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: Princess Anne. But in the nineties she was being compared

42
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: to the frivolity of Fergie and the beauty of Diana.

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: She was kind of she wasn't as revered as she

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: is now, was she.

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 6: No. I mean I think that was a time when

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 6: you know, I've sort of approached this role, thinking, well,

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 6: you know, who is this woman in the nineties, Let's

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 6: strip away you know, all that received idea of her

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: and she it's been simplest for me to look at it.

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: She was a full time working woman with two children,

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: who happens to be the eldest daughter of the queen.

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 6: And I found it very useful to think of her day.

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 6: And this is a woman who was doing four hundred

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 6: engagements in years, which you know, and I've read, you know,

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 6: digested all the stuff about her, and her day would

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 6: begin and it would not at eight o'clock in the morning,

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 6: and she would have back to back engagements and get

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 6: back at eleven o'clock at night. And she was, you know,

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 6: a patron of Save the Children, so she was traveling

60
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 6: abroad several times a year for great stretches of time.

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 6: Her work ethic is extraordinary. But any working mother knows,

62
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 6: you know, you your time is precious and minimal, and

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 6: that informed so much of my understanding of her. You know,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 6: she doesn't have time to decorate a room. She's got a.

65
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: Mission on her hands. And that was that was the.

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 6: Thing for me, you know, that's that was my way

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: in She was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Oh the

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 6: things we don't know about her. So the idea that

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 6: her job is to walk into a room and decorate

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 6: it and hold her handbag. You know, this is a

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 6: woman on a mission, and that was a great woman.

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: And James, you're playing Prince Andrew, I am, and he's

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: saddled with a lot of controversy of light.

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: When they called you for this role, did you go yay? Great?

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 7: Me really?

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: Really?

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 7: I mean yeah, when I when I when they called

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: me for this role, it was it just exploded about

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 7: his what he was up to allegedly at the time.

80
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 7: So I was a little bit reticent, or not reticent,

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 7: a little intrigued, shall we say, about what material I

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 7: was I was going to have to perform and get

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 7: involved with during the show. It's all about his marriage

84
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 7: or his marriage falling apart with Sarah Ferguson, So we

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 7: steer clear of the alleged stories that we all now

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 7: have come to know.

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: So it's kind of good Andrew in a way.

88
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's for you to decide. But yeah, it's it's

89
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 7: a more innocent Andrew, if I can say that. He Yeah,

90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 7: it's more about his relationship within the family it's not

91
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 7: as necessarily black and white as we all believe, or

92
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 7: were led to believe back in the nineties that Sarah

93
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 7: had some affairs and that meant that the marriage had

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 7: to be absolved. You know, Andrew in the story we're

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 7: telling is that Andrew very much loved Sarah and was

96
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 7: heartbroken that he was almost forced into divorce through what

97
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 7: came out in the press rather than the fact of

98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 7: the actual actions, if that makes sense. So you know,

99
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 7: the man had a heart and was very in love

100
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 7: with Sarah.

101
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: You were filming this season when the Queen passed away.

102
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: That must have had an incredible impact on the seat.

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: Did Yeah, it's just or.

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: I'm a staunch, staunch royalist. I used to cry when

105
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: she came out of Backing Palace in a car. I

106
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: lost a daughter, and Meldo is in a terrible state.

107
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: Of course, because the Queen mother lived untiller hundred and one,

108
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: I assumed the Queen wood and there she was meeting

109
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: the two new the new Prime Minister saying goodbye to

110
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: the other one joking. Then suddenly it was a huge sefte.

111
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: And and resonated all around the world.

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 1: I think we're prepared intellectually but not emotional of course.

113
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: And I'm just I'm just so excited to see it.

114
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 3: I'm just like, like my wife, she's like, I can't.

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 5: Watch it, it's too soon, but I'm going, yeah, bring
