and lord mountbatten and prince philip, both ex— naval veterans.untbatten was hugely close to the prince of wales and just having his arm on his shoulder like that tells everything. and a year later, of course, he was killed in ireland. we went back there a couple of years ago with the prince and it was very moving. bit of a family man, actually. there was a time when i think he saw himself as the patriarchy of the family and the queen would be the matriarch of the nation, so to speak. i think putting it simply, he wore the trousers within the household, in order that she could wear the crown for the people. and that really was important to him. it is important to him still. he was there to support her, he ran the family, the family business side of things and that was the first priority, so that she could be queen. let's look at the next picture, arthur. this one is from the 70s. now we are moving to the 80s. 1985. this is in china. they have just been looking at the terracotta warriors and that, you thought, would have been the picture of the day

in fact, lord mountbatten, the last viceroy to india, he did not allow the new borders of india and pakistan announced until after independence day. at that time, you could say that perhaps that is all right because at least the british had to just worry or not worry about all of those natives, millions of indians and the new country of pakistan. but the confusion that has been created here and the polarisation that is allowed because of the lack of information, you wonder why britain would want to do it to themselves. it's their own future they are playing with. because 52% of the population voted for it and plenty watching this programme will believe that things aren't going terribly, things are going as they should, this is what they voted for, this is what they want. the lack of clarity, the lack of information... so, one day you read that 759 international trade agreements and deals have to be negotiated by britain right after brexit. the other day you read that there is no reason to have any import tariffs at all, let's go off and buy oranges cheaper from south africa and buy from tuni

lord louis mountbatten, india's last viceroy, worked to transfer power as quickly as possible. even brought forward the deadline for withdrawal by almost a year. india then was home to almost 400 million people. hindus were in the majority, muslims made up about a quarter of the population. but no way could be agreed to keep them in a single, undivided nation. so independence also meant partition. creating not one but two self—governing countries. at the stroke of the midnight hour when the bold street india will awake to life and freedom. the new borders were drawn up in just five weeks. 0n the 14th of august 1947 british india was heading to its end. over the course of two days, partition was also launched. a new largely muslim state of pakistan was born while the new india was celebrating its independence. but millions of people, muslims, hindus and sikhs, found themselves on what they regarded as the wrong side of the new borders. 12 million or more refugees fled from one newly created country to the other. fleeing from their looted, bloodstained towns, comes a new exodus.
