(drill sergeant) Guards! Royal salute! Present arms! 00:00:24.280 - 00:00:28.398
(stomping boots / gun salute) 00:00:28.480 - 00:00:30.675
(woman) Some people are born more fortunate than others. 00:01:11.920 - 00:01:15.515
Such was the case with me. 00:01:15.600 - 00:01:17.909
But as a child, I was convinced of quite the opposite. 00:01:18.000 - 00:01:22.676
What little girl does not dream of growing up as a princess? 00:01:23.520 - 00:01:27.513
But some palaces are not at all what you'd think. 00:01:29.440 - 00:01:33.194
Even a palace... can be a prison. 00:01:33.280 - 00:01:36.716
(rattling) 00:01:37.800 - 00:01:39.791
Mama never explained why she would have someone taste my food. 00:01:42.000 - 00:01:45.310
Why I couldn't attend school with other children or read popular books. 00:01:45.400 - 00:01:49.871
When my father died, 00:01:57.720 - 00:01:59.312
Mama and her adviser, Sir John Conroy, created rules. 00:01:59.400 - 00:02:03.154
He said they were for my protection, 00:02:03.240 - 00:02:06.073
and he called it the Kensington System. 00:02:06.160 - 00:02:09.436
I could not sleep in a room without Mama 00:02:09.520 - 00:02:11.750
or even walk downstairs without holding the hand of an adult. 00:02:11.840 - 00:02:15.196
I learned the reason for all this when I was 1 1. 00:02:19.120 - 00:02:22.590
My uncle William was the King of England. 00:02:23.560 - 00:02:26.028
Yet he and his three brothers could boast only one living child. 00:02:26.120 - 00:02:31.148
And that was me. 00:02:32.680 - 00:02:34.716
