meantime, king charles , prince charles has said this. king charles , we wonder if will he will kind of complete this has said he would like to slim down the monarchy. what does that mean exactly? does that mean pushing people out? what do you think that means? >> so the important thing to remember is when the queen became the queen in nineteen fifty two, the royal family was quite extensive. there. aunts and uncles and cousins who were all undertaking royal duties. and as the as that generation died, their children took on royal duties to say, we have the dukes of gloucester, the dukes of kent and their wives take undertake duties. we have charles's siblings. we have charles's two sons and their wives. you all undertake duties. now, one of the big criticisms of the monarchy is that the very expensive and the civil list, which is the official amount of money given to the monarch to run the royal family, is in constant criticism for being too large , especially as britain enters cost of living crisis, which we're definitely in at the momen

charles obviously is the heir then prince william. if there is a different level of expectation that citizens in great britain have, people around the world have of people in public life, and the queen was always, you know, one step back from that. after princess diana died i remember being there covering that funeral and there was this outrage for the queen to do more but she did things at the pace she thought appropriate. >> i mean, it was a misstep. she did not have her finger on the pulse of the people there. actually it was tony blair who sort of persuaded her and went to balmoral and talk to her, he was prime minister then, about reacting to the people's grief. nobody had seen anything like it in this country. the grief that was unleashed after the death of princess diana surprise everybody, clearly the queen as well, and her first reactions were everybody says correctly to protect the boys, diana's boys up there in balmoral but she omitted to understand what the people were feeling. and they not only felt grief but they felt bl

prince charles has now succeeded the queen as monarch. he was the world's longest-serving error parent, having held the posion sce 1952 when the queen succeeded her father. >> prince charles is now a king, and i think he's going to be a great king, too. i think he's the most prepared monarch in waiting we have ever had in the thousand-years history of the monarchy. i've been working with him for the last 40 years, and i've seen what he has done. >> i think charles will be different to his mother. i think his reign will be different to his mother's. the queen proved that order to survive, you have to evolve, and i think charles also understands that. >> queen elizabeth ii lived through several wars, supported more british prime ministers and traveled to more countries than any other monarch. but we will remember her for something more than her long years of dutiful service to britain. she was the persone turned to as a nation during times of need. she was the one who spoke to us and spoke for us. >> i declare before you all that my whole l

- - challenge for prince charles to put in a treasonous way is can he keep his mouth shut? but now i would argue this country wanted to hear their king and he delivered but they don't want to hear him moaning about everything all the time. he has to keep it mystic like the queen. >> it is so interesting he made kate and william prince and princess of wales instantly in that very first speech. we are talking about this moments ago charles at 73 and his wife of 17 years that i think people have come to embrace in a significant way but really it is local and —- william and kate that are the international stars with the same magnetism that a young queen elizabeth had at the age of 25 traveling around the world. so i imagine that part of the role, even though william is already 40, he seems young in the scheme of things, do you think that whole part of elizabeth's role falls to them in many ways? >> yes. i think it does. what king charles has immediately and william and kate is the star quality, the glamour. i do know that william is 40 and as a 47 -year-old i'm trying not to

we know prince charles and camilla are already there. all three of her other children will make their way there, if not there already. prince william, second in line to the throne after prince charles, is also traveling to be by her side, amongst other extended members of the family. so, it's clearly a very serious moment. and the seriousness was evident in the house of commons, in parliament earlier. a debate was ongoing at the moment this news started to break. that serious sentiment was summed up by the new prime minister, liz truss, who said the whole country will be deeply concerned by this news and that my thoughts and thoughts of the people across our united kingdom are with her majesty, the queen, at this time. the last time we saw the queen was two days ago when she appointed the new prime minister, liz truss. and she did look frail on that occasion. albeit positive and smiley two days ago. highlighting her commitment to her duty that she wanted to be there to appoint the new prime minister, despite obvious frailties. >> yes, 96

so i think that this comes as a very i mean prince prince charles, i keep calling him prince charles, king charles will have been waiting for the a some time. but you know, he still, i'm the queen's son and i imagine there are many emotions that are going through his mind at the moment. i'm having to say farewell to his mother and knowing now that he has to try to carry her mantle. she was a woman who was so loved across the world at particularly in the past few years. and he now has to step into that role and trying to fill up some very big shoes. and alex, interesting. those live pictures of that. notice announcing the death of queen elizabeth posted on the gates of buckingham palace. we do want to find out more about the new king charles, and we know that he's been taking over many of the queens duties traveling abroad in her place. let's see if we can take a look now at the man who has waited so long to be king. ah, he was dumped the perpetual prince waiting to be king longer than any other air to the throne before him. charles philip, also george mount button windsor, was born in

and prince charles has had some knocks to his popularity as we saw in that report. most notably over that affair with camilla parker bowles, even though he was married to princess diana and then what happened following the death of princess diana. so he's had to build it that popularity and the respect back up over the past 2 decades at least. and i think he certainly made a, a good job of that. he's done things like he's tried to streamline the monarchy. i think we will see more of that in the future. and, and he's also try to make sure that everybody knows the prince. william is his air and he's been lining up prince william and kate who've been doing many more duties on his behalf and previously on the queen's behalf. so i think that he knows the audience he's got to play to which is to promote the younger generation. alex, thank you very much. that was d w as alex forest. why the hell in her 7 decades on the throne as britons head of state, queen elizabeth the 2nd met countless world leaders, no tributes or pouring in from across the globe. let's take a look at

william and prince charles. we'll have to see. but they have to give an update because the world's media are here and the public have really, really -- they are really concerned. there is a different atmosphere in london today. >> also the queen is as he said at balmoral in scotland. we saw the aircraft at the airport. can you just talk about the importance of balmoral to the queen? american viewers might remember balmoral is where then prince harry and prince william were when they learned of the death of their mother. >> reporter: balmoral is the queen's summer residence, a castle in scotland. very hidden away. it is a massive estate and she loves her time there. and they do country pursuits, they go out hunting and shooting and fishing. it is interesting that knee began i know felt a bit comfortable there as did codian frankly because it is rough and railroaded, not how you would imagine a royal life to be. the queen driving her land rover around the estate until very recently. you're right the symbolism of t

, not prince charles. lots of people saying it's strange having prince charles in your life this long and suddenly he is king charles. lots of other people coming down, so we can grab a few more people. i am from bbc news, can we have a chat? why did you come down here tonight? to pay our respects to the queen. from london? we have lived here for a decade or so in london. you came down to lay flowers today? yes. and how did you feel when you heard the news? devastated, sad, sad for the family, yeah. what are your memories of the queen? when i came here as a young boy with my family, in awe and wonder of the palace, probably. i'm sorry, i have to go. that's fine! lots of people coming to try to get to green park and lay flowers. so many floral tributes, they had to remove them from outside buckingham palace because there were too many people, thousands, and even green park tube station, the nearest tube station, that very rarely stops or shuts, london is open all the time, but that closed today, because the

charles, when remarks about prince charles, when he was prince charles and is now the king, he ask you around for a half—hour chat that turned into two hours. but i was found interviewing people around who met him is there is follow—through. i once followed him around toxteth and they were terrible riots and this is more than 30 years later and everybody remembers him and he was the only public figure who had been there in 1981 and were still coming back, everybody else had either retired or died. i everybody else had either retired or died. . . , everybody else had either retired or died. ., , , .., everybody else had either retired or died. ., , , _, ., died. i have been in my college at honnon died. i have been in my college at honiton for— died. i have been in my college at honiton for five _ died. i have been in my college at honiton for five minutes, - died. i have been in my college at. honiton for five minutes, relatively speaking. — honiton for five minutes, relatively speaking, and i got a letter from clarence — speaking, and i got a letter from clarence house askin

no, prince charles, thank you very much for your time. christopher wilson, a while historian world latest, meanwhile, had been paying tribute to queen elizabeth indian prime minister and arranger moody said he pained by her desk, and that she provided inspiring ladyship to her nation and people french president, manuel macross has saluted the monarch as a friend of franz, a said she'll be remembered as a kind hearted queen whose left a lasting impression on her country and on her century and china's president, she jin, pending, has offered his since his sympathies to britain and to the new king in the us, president biden has hailed queen elizabeth as a steadying presence in a world of change was when jordan has moved. the u. s. president paid tribute to queen elizabeth the 2nd at the british embassy in washington. and then during a political event, i the opportunity to meet her before she passed as usual, incredibly gracious and decent woman, the thoughts and prayers, the american people, or the people who united kingdom and the commonwea

one has to say we, so you're saying a very different prince charles to what is now who is now king charles and we saw a very opinionated prince. charles will be see a less opinionated king charles. absolutely. he is not allowed constitutionally, as king. he mustn't give his opinions, which we saw in the queen for 70 years. you have no idea of her opinions. i think we might have had a little of an idea of what she thought about scottish independence, but that's about it. we have no idea what she thought or breaks it, and she never spoke publicly in it of her opinions why he has done that, hasn't he has a quite laws. and he has also said in the past that he realizes when he becomes king, he has to change that and he's not allowed to give his opinions. they were watching are like pictures here of us coming from this got capital edinburgh where a procession with queen elizabeth's coffin is making its way from hollywood house palace to saint charles cathedral down those cities famous royal mile. we have a correspondence with us, rob merrill and spirit mos in london. bill gets it. tell me about

charles if he's going to call himself prince shows, will do the same. many thanks for talking to us today. we've been speaking to martin j award winning journalist, and on a pundit, thank you. moving on at her case leader were dead tired, early one se the cranium grain is not being shipped to developing countries and was initially promised. but instead of going to the more wealthy and prosperous ones, and he's pledge to work out a solution to the issue together with russian president vladimir putin, b k. well says mister putin is right about one thing for sure. grain is being shipped to wealthy countries and unfortunately not to poor countries. i will discuss this issue with mr. poodle at the summit in some our contact. we also want to start grain supplies from russia. we are looking forward to that. let's begin this process and deliver the cargo to the countries that really needed to segment comes to the day of the latin person. both the issue with the eastern economic forum saying that only 2 cargo ships south of $87.00 have taken ukrainian grain to a

prince charles didn't follow that. he was found some 20 years ago to write the spider letters to ministers, letters in his own handwriting to politicians. he has said in recent years when asked about this that when he becomes king, he would not be at all politically intervening. we'll see if that's the case. everyone must hope that's the case. in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch can't criticize the government or intervenes in any way in the policies of government. so we must hope that his long apprenticeship for this role that he's assumed means that he will change. we'll see. very much to be hoped. the monarchy in britain, it effectively operates in britain like the flag does in the united states. it's above politics, it's above party politics and it has to represent the thing that unifies and threads the nation together. that's really what the monarch does in the united kingdom and what queen elizabeth so expertly did through her extraordinarily long reign. >> you know, it's interesting. i was looking at a piec

prince charles especially was very close to him. and the queen also was so deeply shocked by it that she took special care to make sure that my mother very much had the support that she might have needed. and indeed my cousin, who lost his twin, she was very caring. she took him to balmoral and spent time with him after while both his parents were in hospital. we've seen examples of their incredible kindness. it's very hard for the royal family to let people in essentially because their role is to be so aloof. and as we were saying, not to give interviews. of course charles has given intervows over the years, and we need that. but we know that role is going to change. i don't think that will change his sense of duty or humor in any way. the queen always demonstrated a great sense of humor. my mother was a lady in waiting on two commonwealth tours. and she reminded me recently of one when they were out close to australia and she had an afternoon off after quite a grueling tour. can you imagine how much hand waving they went through o

body. >> prince charles was really obliterated by her death. he was absolutely stricken. absolutely stricken. he said, "i kept thinking of that young girl that i married." >> he'd had difficulties with diana. their marriage had not worked. but he still loved her. she was the mother of his children. and this was the most shocking and terrible and ghastly thing to happen. >> that night charles returns to balmoral to be with his sons, william and harry. >> charles' priority was those boys. he was desperately worried about them. they were at a very tender, difficult sort of age, 15 and 12. >> i rang up queen elizabeth to say how awful and i hope the boys were all right. and she said, i think they're in total shock, they haven't cried. >> the immediate reaction of the royal family was to say we must hunker down, protect the children. there will be formalities that will follow, but that's what we do. >> but the country is in no mood for formality. >> she was different. she was like one of us. one of the people. >> it's a shock. >> the people felt so

iii because i'm so used to physically imagining charles as that playboy prince, prince charles, it is hard to imagine him succeeding her. we discussed for years, he's the longest, he held that title, the heir longer than anybody else, it is so interesting and it is hard to process at this point in time. >> todd: we love coming to you because you are an american who watches the royals. that is unique, in america, a lot of people don't understand the royal family, how it works and its importance to england. what should americans take away from the life and legacy of the queen? >> yes, as americans, i think there is a sense of salaciousness to the british royal family, a good soap opera. in the u.k., this is the head of the church, she was a woman of faith. billy graham was a good friend of hers and she was a woman that led by faith. i think we need to recognize that, that while this family has become entertainment value, a lot of americans love the crown, realistically, a lot of people are hurting over there because this is a huge loss to them on a spiritual level. >> carley: the royal

and the new prince of wales carving out a new row for himself as duke of coolio take over prince charles as estates in the west of the country. and i think we're going to see some interesting dynamics between father and son in the future. yes. be of those dynamics, what kind of late at g think prince charles now king charles will bay oh i think that he has spoken inspirational lay over the years. busy sometimes he steps over the bar, perhaps you might say, but he's spoken inspirational. and i think we can see him doing a speeches to the nation on those key moments when we need to draw together. and he has the capacity to be able to speak in much the same sort of tones as his mother. what impact will the queen's death? and now king charles's reign have on the commonwealth going forward? do you think? well, i heard that the commonwealth i was sitting in the mountains. we're seeing that the commonwealth is that there is a flood of sympathy for the royal family coming from the commonwealth, but they have their choices to make. they must decide what it is that they want in this new role. whet

philip, prince charles at her side, in pouring rain. can you just tell us about that day? >> well, i think she really loved the rain because some of the nicest pictures i ever got of her was in the rain. she was always smiling in the rain. i think that's why she loved balmoral so much because it's always wet and rainy up there. that particular day was the official ceremony of her birthday in june. but that's a zwrun day in london sometimes. and she came out of the palace on the horse ready to do the ceremony and the heavens opened. and she just sat there and got absolutely drenched. and it was just funny watching her face because it was going from sort of -- you know, it was a very comical face. and she just sat there. she looked like a drowned rat, but she just had to be like that. and she was like that for about two hours. >> were you absolutely drenched as well? >> re . >> i only got a few frames because my lens was so misty it was so wet. most of the frames were unusable. i love that picture. she just loved the rain. >> you're also

prince charles carries a little bit more baggage perhaps. this summer, there was controversy surrounding donations his charitable foundation had taken from the half brother of osama bin laden. things like that certainly don't give him the same, necessarily squeaky clean image going into his role as the new king of the united kingdom. >> well, he's also ascending to the throne in his 70s, versus his mother who ascended in her 20s. it's a different era. we know a lot more about most public figures now, and it's good to hear from them there. they look back at the queen and ahead at their new king. scott mcclain for us. thank you. >>> back in the u.s., the justice department has appealed a judge's ruling to appoint a special master to oversee the documents seized from mar-a-lago. next phase of that legal fight is ahead. and we'll continue our coverage of the tributes held across the uk and the world honoring queen elizabeth. my dad was a hard worker. he used to do side jobs installing windows, charging something like a hundred bucks a window whe

well about say the prince charles for many years has anticipated this moment. and he would have works out already. what is going to happen and how it's going to happen? a has regular meetings with the oh marshall, that's the man who really is the master of ceremonies of all that is taking place to day l. marshall. if the duke of north and he's had regular meetings with him said, well, what, what do we do next? and how does this go and, and maybe it would be better if we did it this way and, and, but in the end, it's the ringmaster. the duke of norfolk is that organizing all this? he has to be in charge and tell everybody else what to do. so in this one moments very interesting that the king, who you would think is top of that tree, is actually taking orders from, from somebody beneath it. all right, let's talk about the chronology then for to day of the summer. need you to get underway in exactly 15 minutes. but prince charles, i'm sorry, king charles, the 3rd would actually be present in the 1st part of it. we keep saying that we do . it's, well, it's been a l

rather than prince charles to meet them. very overwhelming, yeah. absolutely, i've waited my whole life for that moment. ijust love him, he's great. ijust shook the new king's hand! what do you think he is going to be like as a monarch? i think he's going to be fantastic. l you know, he's had some fantastic training - from his mother, the queen. this morning, if there was ever a moment for a child to live through history, to understand kings and queens, to mark the moment one era transitioned into another, this was it. trumpets play. # long to reign over us... just a few hundred from the crowds of thousands allowed outside st james�*s palace to hear the new king proclaimed. the youngest, orla elizabeth, 11 weeks old. it's history, isn't it? and i think by bringing her down today, it's something we can talk to her about. she'll obviously be spoken to about the queen because she is named after her. and it is something she can pass on to her kids. what do you make of king charles so far? i think he's been absolutely incredibl
