Queen Elizabeth II: Darling, I'm glad you've found happiness. I know how difficult it was in the end with Mark. But of all the families you could have been born into, fate has endowed you with this one, with everything that goes with it. Including the fact that your mother is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and remarriage when the first husband is still alive, as you well know, is not only frowned upon, it is forbidden.
Princess Anne: I, of all people, hardly need reminding of the requirements of being in this family. I have dedicated myself to my role. Bent myself into shape. Placed duty above all else. Including, more often than not, my own happiness. Five engagements a day. Three hundred days a year, for the past twenty-four years. Well, you cannot have all of me. And I will not give all of me. And I will marry Tim.
