10:12 am
you know, all stages in history, you've got to review what you've got and decide whether it's fitting appropriate for the age. and you know, people have looked at the motor care and also self ready. do we need this anymore? is the oldest fairy tale stopped? these uniforms, the bowing coat saying that diamonds tiaras, do we need it anymore? and so of course, certainly within the coma what you're getting people saying, well, i think we've had enough this. now we are a nation. we move for, we don't need it anymore. but you know, that is a very, very, very small voice in a very large group. of people who millions, if not billions of people who look to the queen of defendant fake. and i think you know they will give prince charles will king charles this is the benefit of doubt. certainly start with. yes, we're going to remember it's king charles now. no,

10:21 am
from digital people, but you know, with a fully of great leader who, indigenous cultures. i'm not in life or disrespectful at this moment time. we acknowledge she's a mother grandmother and his across 3 generations of our people. and as a consequence of their past, and we of course, a degree respectful, but there will be a time and a place where we uplifted counties about moving towards some form of self government and using them with the time of the place for us to have the countries that our love and sympathy i go with the falling of a grandmother and mother 90. and she, she has a family, sir. we are not in flights enough at the time to make political statements
10:22 am
until such time as she is repatriated to the mother of england. sure, and i guess after that happens, there will come a time where there will be a discussion around what her death means. only a few months ago, the married party called for a divorce from the crown. do you think that once all those respects have been paid, do you think those calls will grow louder? i think a ref, as you see, she left the 3 generation of folk. and so this is extraordinary time period of human history. and we've, we've grown up a lot, i can, a lot of us have saw sovereignty with the commonwealth center grading. and we will be design and having this discussion now. so what we want is just acknowledge the passing of a great leader. oh be it one way we've had countries we we
10:23 am
acknowledge the grieving period of all families been any and the, and the mother not saying the fact that she was hit of stack. yeah, as you mentioned, she suddenly rained for many a generation. what impact do you think that will have on king charles now, how do you think king charles will be viewed by the mallory people of new zealand where he is going to be a lot of interest fiction on how these things are and what he conveys in regard to the right, not just of indigenous people, but the rights of sovereign nation. turned back on healthy conversation about republics. while we appreciate your insights in your respect there, john tommy harry, a foreman, he's in a government minister and also the president of the mary party. thanks for your time. as we mentioned,
10:24 am
prince charles succeeds his mother on the british throne, but as sonya gay go explains, the new king's political leanings may influence his reign. he has been waiting for the longest time. there has never been any doubt of prince charles's desire to become king, but the share span of his mother's reign has left him becoming king charles at relatively advanced years himself. and charles may cause a war, controversial figure as head of state. the queen elizabeth the 2nd did married 1st to diana spencer. he began having an affair with camilla parker bowles before diana's tragic death. that in itself was of public relations problem. diana died so tragically, in 1997. the challenge was how does he intervene, come of rehabilitate camina? who was his mistress? and the answer to that was years of painstaking work emphasizing hug color
10:25 am
to the fact that she had them. he had so much in common like a lot together. they were similar ages had similar programs of women, the prince, well, from the sellers of coastal up cave charles, the seeming detachment perceived aloofness, have frequently led to accusations that he is out of touch with his subjects. and that will matter far more once he takes the throne, creating sustainable foods. but there are other concerns too. for many years he has been writing private letters to government ministers, urging their interest in political issues close to his heart. these range from medicines, homeopathy, which is a favorite to fish stocks, to the power of corporations, of a farmers convention, states that members of the royal family elsa bidden to express political opinions for the porters have tried to ask his a, have literally blocked them behaving on prostitution,
10:26 am
the violence was exactly like that. so was king, will he be able to keep his opinions to himself? too much by tradition, the prime minister, visits the monarch every week to tell her all him what's going on in government. it's only supposed to be an exercise in explaining policy and no more. a key question surrounding charles is rain is whether he will reserve the right to tell the prime minister exactly what he thinks about decisions being taken by elected politicians. government has been closed. those we don't know the details of the conversation, but even know the remote for conversation. so maybe that has to open doc. so as you can see, what is a good thing that's a, hey, what you think, or maybe this is which is from the from the sound of it, he has been advised to keep quiet. he knows very well what is expected of him as king. he has strong views on things in national life. that's true. but i think he's also got a very strong awareness from an early age,
10:27 am
from the queen and from his own training and his own judgment. that is a constitutional monarch. you have to be a little bit more circumspect and i'm sure that he will be as a form of you cornel charles and also li, behind an enormous business empire in the south west of england. it's worth more than a $1000000000.00 and has been accused of helping drive local traders out of business . and that perhaps is a particular concern for supporters of the monarchy. which as of now, is a large majority in the u. k. the question is whether he can maintain that popularity. queen elizabeth kept her support during many years when the behavior of her family raised many eyebrows. the code of the regiment and the doctor. and it's on arguable that in terms of the brand of the house of, with charles as son william and his wife, catherine, are seen as a more exciting proposition, more glamorous than a man who seems often to prefer his own company to that of others. charles has no
10:28 am
doubt had many years to dwell on these things. his choices will help determine whether support for the monarchy continues as it is now in the world. so the guy, yeah, go, i'll just 0. let's bring in royal biography, christopher wilson, now he is in london and joins me live good to speak to you again. chris, as we know the crate queen range the decades and of course over generations. those are some pretty big shoes to fill for king charles on thing. pretty big shoes and that's going to be a big job for him. yes. that last package pointed out, for many, many years, he has gone to the barricades over the issues which he feels passionately about. and i think in his mid seventy's, the crucial thing they have now is, can you pull back? can he reign himself and allow kingship to take over
10:29 am
from his activism? you, what we've had in britain over the last 70 years is we've had monarchy as matriarchy . and we've enjoyed having this mother figure the queen, dragging us round by the nose, seeing us through the good times and the bad and changing nature of monarchy in the world. today. it is an old fashioned institution. you've got to find new ways to justify carrying all with it. and the queen managed to inch by inch $0.02 for the populace wanted. charles, on the other hand, was wanted to tell us what we wanted. and there is the crucial difference between the 2 to given everything he said, what kind of lady you think he will be? i think he will be devoted to the cause of course his. we hope that he lives long, but inevitably his brain will be short. similar to
10:30 am
a batch of king of the 7 for the beginning of the 20th century. and he knows very well that he's going to leave his mark for the history books. the history books are going to be filled with the achievements of queen elizabeth a 2nd. can he match that at the end of his reign? and that is the challenge which he has got set himself. and just briefly, before we let you go, christopher, what impact do you think the queen's death and the ruling now of king charles will have on the commonwealth? well, i think the queen very shrewdly decided to throw. busy her feelings about camilla becoming queen, consort is the arena. she must have known that she was reaching the end of her life and that she didn't want people to be ruffled about that being a queen come.
