1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,400
In November 1918, King George V
and Queen Mary celebrated victory

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,480
with their people after the dark
years of the First World War.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,320
But the newsreel images
of a confident king and queen

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,920
amongst a contented people
were deceptive.

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,280
Britain had won the war,
but for the British monarchy,

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,120
a new battle at home was beginning
after the catastrophic conflict.

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,000
With crowned heads
falling across Europe,

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,520
revolution in Russia and militant
socialism on the march in Britain,

9
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,480
the monarchy faced one of the most
dangerous moments in its history.

10
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,840
King George V and Queen Mary

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080
could not have been a more
unlikely pair of saviours.

12
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,720
Born and brought up
in the Victorian age,

13
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,840
they were conservative
to their fingertips,

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,200
yet in the face of
unstoppable change,

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,480
they created the House of Windsor

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,400
and forged a new relationship with
the British people.

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,240
They were innovators,
which everyone's forgotten.

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,480
They didn't mind
updating the monarchy.

19
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,600
George and Mary
put the Royal Family on a pedestal
as an example to be followed,

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920
and they embraced democratic reform.

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,960
