Quote #10
QUEEN MARY: If your father were well, tardiness would not be tolerated. None of this… unpleasantness would be tolerated.
David's mother (the Queen) gets fed up with David's constant lack of respect for his duties as a member of the royal family. He shows up for stuff late and totally ignores his public duties. This sort of thing would never stand if the stern old King George were still around. But unfortunately, the old man is dying and it looks like David is destined to be king.
