Here you'll find my vocabulary cards for assignment two that you can use to get a better idea about the assignment and what you need to do to score high or pass. Please do not only use the files and my work as it is, because that is plagiarism and will lead to your course's suspension. Instead, use...
The Queen: Come in! (door opening)
Prince Charles: Is that it? Is that the welcoming committee?
The Queen: What more is to be said?
Prince Charles: How about ‘’thank you’’ or ‘’well done’’?
The Queen: If we all had to thank one another every time we did anything in this family,
we’d never get anywhere.
Prince Charles: I’ve just been on a very challenging, post-investiture tour of Wales. It went
better than anyone expected. Thank you!
The Queen: You were sent to Wales to show respect, and heal divisions – not inflict them on
your own family.
Prince Charles: I did nothing of the sort.
The Queen: I’ve had the opportunity now to read the translation of what you actually said
and the inferences you made. The similarity between Wales’ suffering and yours was clear.
Prince Charles: Was it?
The Queen: Unmistakable.
Prince Charles: Only to you.
The Queen: To all Wales, apparently. (reads) ‘’If this union is to endure, then we must learn
to respect each other’s differences. Nobody likes to be ignored, to not be seen or heard, or
listened to.”
Prince Charles: Well, am I wrong? Isn’t there similarity between my predicament and the
Welsh? Am I listened to in this family? Am I seen for who and what I am? No! Do I have a
voice?
The Queen: Rather too much of a voice for my liking! Not having a voice is something all of
us have to live with. We have all made sacrifices and supressed who we are. Some portion of
our natural selves is always lost.
Prince Charles: That is a choice.
The Queen: It is not a choice. It is a duty. I was a similar age to you when your great-
grandmother, Queen Mary, told me that to do nothing, to say nothing is the hardest job of all.
It requires every ounce of energy that we have. To be impartial is not natural, it’s not human.
People will always want us to smile or agree, or frown, or speak, and the minute that we do –
we will have declared a position, a point of view, and that is the one thing as a royal family
we are not entitled to do, which is why we have to hide those feelings, keep them to
ourselves. Because the less we do, the less we say or speak, or agree, or…
Prince Charles: …think. Or breathe, or feel, or exist.
The Queen: The better.
Prince Charles: Well, doing that is perhaps not as easy for me as it is for you.
The Queen: Why?
Prince Charles: ‘Cause I have a beating heart. (music) A character… A mind and a will of
my own. I am not just a symbol. I can lead not just by wearing a uniform or by cutting a
ribbon, but by showing people who I am.
Mommy, I have a voice.
The Queen: Let me let you into a secret. No one wants to hear it.
Prince Charles: Are you talking about the country or my own family?
The Queen: No one.
