(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 |
