[ Prince Charles comes into the room during news report on Diana's death]
Charles, isn't this awful? [long pause] What are you going to do about the boys?
Let them sleep until we know more.
HM Queen Elizabeth II Yes, that's sensible.
I should go to Paris, I told my people to start organizing a jet.
What, a private one?
Yes.
Isn't that precisely the sort of extravagance they always attack us for?
How else am I supposed to get to Paris at this time? The airport at Aberdeen will be closed and...
Charles dear, use the Royal Flight; they keep one plane on permanent standby, in case I should kick the bucket.
No, Mummy, that's out of the question; this isn't a matter of State.
What are you talking about?
Diana's no longer a member of the Royal Family, she's not an HRH, this is a private matter!
She's mother to your grandchildren!
What is happening now?
I don't know; I can't hear, everyone shouting!
