Diana the 'People's Princess' has died in a car accident in Paris. The Queen and her family decide that for the best, they should remain hidden behind the closed doors of Balmoral Castle.

Tradition Prepared Her. Change Will Define Her.
Our Leaders. Ourselves.
Queen of a Nation. Queen of Hearts.
A Lifetime of Tradition. A World of Change.
Tony Blair: [referring to the phone conversation with Lord Airlie] Precedent? Where do they find these people?
HM Queen Elizabeth II: [Getting her car stuck in a ford] Oh, bugger it.
HM Queen Elizabeth II: Oh has anyone heard from Spencers' yet? Have they made up their minds when the funeral will be?::HM The Queen Mother: Hmm? Well I don't know, nobody tells me anything.
Prince Philip: Sleeping in the streets and pulling out their hair for someone they never knew. And they think we're mad!
Prince Philip: Move over, Cabbage.
Prince Philip: Your tea is getting cold!
Tony Blair: Will someone please save these people from themselves!
Prince Philip: It's not right, you know.::HM Queen Elizabeth II: No, but further discussion is no longer helpful, either.
Portrait Artist: You may not be allowed to vote, ma'am, but it is your government.::HM Queen Elizabeth II: Yes. I suppose that is some consolation.
HM Queen Elizabeth II: Prime Minister.::Tony Blair: Good morning, Majesty. Sorry to disturb, but I was just wondering whether you'd seen any of today's papers?::HM Queen Elizabeth II: We've managed to look at one or two, yes.::Tony Blair: In which case my... next question would be whether you felt some kind of response...::[Queen Elizabeth puts Blair on speakerphone]::Tony Blair: ...might be necessary?::HM Queen Elizabeth II: No. I believe a few over-eager editors are doing their best to sell newspapers. It would be a mistake to dance to their tune.::Tony Blair: Under normal circumstances I would agree. But... well, my advisors... have been taking the temperature among people on the streets... and, well, the information I'm getting is that the mood is quite delicate.::HM Queen Elizabeth II: So, what would you suggest, Prime Minister - some kind of a statement?::Tony Blair: No, ma'am. I believe the moment for statements has passed. I would suggest flying the flag at half-mast above Buckingham Palace... and... coming down to London at the earliest opportunity. It would be a great comfort to your people... and would help them with their grief.::HM Queen Elizabeth II: [Picks up the receiver] THEIR grief? If you imagine I'm going to drop everything and come down to London before I attend to my grandchildren who've just lost their mother... then you're mistaken. I doubt there is anyone who knows the British people more than I do, Mr. Blair, nor who has greater faith in their wisdom and judgement. And it is my belief that they will any moment reject this... this "mood", which is being stirred up by the press, in favor of a period of restrained grief, and sober, private mourning. That's the way we do things in this country, quietly, with dignity. That's what the rest of the world has always admired us for.::Tony Blair: If that's your decision, ma'am, of course the government will support it. Let's keep in touch.::HM Queen Elizabeth II: [Curtly] Yes. Let's.::[the Queen slams down the phone]
Prince Harry: Abso-bloody-lutely
