hello, i'm carry johnston, welcome to it's an end of an error on the beginning of a new rain in the united kingdom of the past. some of its longest serving monarch queens with the 2nd on thursday. her grieving son, the new king charles, the 3rd greeted crowds of mourners outside buckingham palace, where he is now fulfilling the duties of a new monarch. he's meeting prime minister, let's trust shortly. in the coming hours, he will address a nation in mourning for his mother who spent 7 decades on the threat. ah, the church bells rang out across the nation for the queen, who lives in state in scotland where she died. people paid their tribute to the only queen most had ever known. canon at fire followed the sound of church bells. $96.00 salutes one to mark each year of the queen's life. andrew summons reports on the queen remembered as

u. k enters a period of national mourning within seconds of king charles the 3rd, arriving at buckingham palace with the queen, consort, came what appeared to be a change in schedule. a walk about the king looking relaxed, accepting the welcoming moves, and in the background calls of god save the king. is reign just beginning after the cheering. the solemnity of viewing tributes. ah ah, getting ahead of his arrival and 96 guns salute, one for each year of the queen's life with the u. k. starting of 10 days to the morning. bells tolls not only in westminster,

but all over the country. earlier the mood outside buckingham palace was as sold as it was when the queen's death was announced. a steady stream of mourners, each with some way of expressing others, standing still frozen in fort flowers and messages spread out from all over the world. she was known as the grandmother of the nation, but to the people here. they think she was much more than that in the good times, exuding charm and fun. in the bad times. giving comfort and calm. she was the longest serving mana can british history. and with it came a sense of permanence. wilma harris feels that way. i think that really was that whole offensive al kill dna, which you will have her forever. and unfortunately, that's not been the case. and i think that will really, really mess and wish that places get carried on longer. that needs a cavalry and office worker says she still can't take her. do is find out what this

is not going to be any one i can like ever. like no one she's, she's to factor. she's, she's gotten so high in everyone's kind of high something. anyone can, you can matching with and others feel she unified people and calm them at times of crisis, especially in the pandemic. the impact of just a he was from her tender, central the nation in a way that anything else really can at this point that i think everyone here as reflecting the scene or sadness, but at the same time, gratitude for her service to get out there or not and she yeah. and it's people case in westminster. m. p. 's gathered to collectively give tribute to the queen. that brother was prime minister list truss. she'd been appointed by the queen only 2 days before she died. her light majesty, queen elizabeth the 2nd was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known.

she was the rock on which modern britain was built. she came to the throne at just 25 in a country that was emerging from the shadow war. she bequeath some modern dynamic nation that has grown and flourished under her rank. the united kingdom is the great country it is to day because of ha, so many memories of an extraordinary woman. waves from the buckingham palace balcony over 7 decades. but in through the world, despite her mobility problems, she'd excel during the platinum jubilees celebrations in june. now the balcony is empty. standing above the grief of a nation. andrew simmons al jazeera london, buckingham palace, sir. me, what's the scene there right now?

well people continue to see this very much as the focal points of the nation's morning on what is the 1st full day of national morning as we saw there. and andrew simmons report, this is an iconic facade, were so used to seeing members of the royal family gather on the balcony up there behind me. but sir, as andrew said, that balcony, now empty, but what remains a constant now? is the monarchy as a symbolise in the flag, the royal standard that flies high above buckingham palace. it is the only flag in the country that isn't lowered to half mass, because there is never a time in the united kingdom where there isn't a monarch, it represents the continuation of the crown. over its 1000 year history, people are coming to pay their respects, their coming in quiet reflection. they're coming to lay flowers. there are the occasional spontaneous outbursts of the new national anthem, gods save the king. the people are still trying to get their heads around,

including including me because the last time there was a king charles on the throne, back in 1685 queen elizabeth has been around for such a long time, multiple generations, a symbol of continuity and longevity. in a changing world and need what's the atmosphere like there? we see all those thousands of people behind you that they're still coming out. they they are. so coming. this obviously is very much the sort of heart and soul of the british monarchy here in the capital at least it's like conic place for people to come. it is not though the most important and oldest of palaces, that is saint james's palace, which is not far from here. that sir, we'll take a precedence or to morrow on the day in which the session council meets, we'll see around 200 people. many of the members of the privy council, their senior civil servants, and former

a members of parliament and other officials that are technically employed to, to, to advise the monarch. there are 600 of them, but they have to pair the numbers down as a said to around a couple of 100. and there'll be all sorts of oaths and proclamations made then i. and that, of course, is the key moment where king charles 3rd will officially be recognized as the king . but of course, that transition of authority happened seamlessly behind the scenes bow mall at the death of queen elizabeth. it passes on quietly behind the scenes now to her son, and now prince william. we expect will, at some point be called the new prince of wales, where wait to see, i suppose that re shuffle entitles and the coming weeks and months. but this of course is an am hugely important a few days for the country and for the role of families we saw, and andrew support prince charles coming out to meet people in the crowd. he. he

was met by people desperate to shake his hands. one woman, which over and kissed his hand, another strained against the barrier, was able to kiss his cheek. i think that will go down as one of the iconic moments of the start of his reign. seeing both the king and queen walking unaided, not in that one of their vehicles going through the gates of buckingham palace to start this new air in british history. okay. need. thank you for now and we can tell you that you, kate prime minister, right? lizza trusts is meeting king charles a 3rd right now. and as that happens, we're gonna go live now to westminster and our diplomatic editor james base. so james protocol still very much the order of the day at the moment. yes, this is, this is what one of the things that has to happen, the 1st meeting between the new sovereign and his prime minister. of course,

what is poignant about this is that she only got the job at the beginning of the week on tuesday, and she was given the job by the late queen in her last ever public engagement a chance i think at this meeting for the new prime minister to wish her condolences to the new king condolences on her own behalf and on behalf of the whole nation. of course they have spoken already by phone, but this is a face to face meeting between the 2 of them that is taking place earlier on this trust spoke in the house of commons by me saying that king charles had an awesome responsibility ahead of him. i think probably some discussion will be about what the coming days will bring. now it's all very, very carefully managed and prepared. it was actually the late queen's wishes that were taken into account. she had a role in the planning of these days 10 days or so take years to the funeral. but i

think the 2 leaders of this country, the new king and the new prime minister, will be trying to set a tone for the public for the public to follow up. because these times can be unpredictable times is obviously very different. 1997 and the death of diana. i was here then, and i can tell you obviously because that was a very sudden tragedy in a much younger woman. 36 years old. there was a time that where the authorities really didn't match the mood of the crowd and it was getting some of the, some of the comments from the crab were getting pretty anti royalist at times. they'll be keen to avoid anything like like that. so i think i'll be looking at the days ahead as to say, the commons continues its meetings here with the politicians, paying tribute to the one persons route her reign, who made sure she never, ever got a political. we've heard, as well as soon as trust from kear stammer,

the leader of the opposition. he said it was a time to pull together. he said they should follow the way the queen worked. we're always better when we you, night. and interestingly, perhaps we saw a little bit of that we saw some good will towards 2 former prime ministers who left pretty unpopular forest. johnson left the post his prime minister at the beginning of the way quit off the bait house advisor and harvey. well, there was certainly warm feelings towards him and some laughter, as he encountered stories of his recollections of the queen and to resume remember sheep, former prime minister, she was brought down by breck zip, deeply unpopular at the end. well, of the commons, i think was wild by her performance to day. certainly some of the that the details she told of the queen clearly very sad, some of them, but also some laughter, particularly a story she told about a picnic up of bow moral,

where she was asked to help attend with. busy family don't asked to lay out some of the food and she dropped the cheese on the floor. she thought so. no one had noticed she picked it up, put it back on the table and turned wrapped and saw the queen looking at her and just smiling hunter and jane's he saw um a king charles meeting people and well wishes outside of buckingham palace earlier today you very much an attempt i supposed to show that common touch which maybe was seemingly missing after what happened to princess donna all those years ago. oh, absolutely amazing. i think that what that was the one of the reasons to do this to show him with the people with his people and shone being greeted. i think it was interesting. i'll only say that that the queen consort camella was not with him on this occasion. but i'm sure you're going to see that because we understand that he's got not just doing this a buckingham palace in his 10 days

a morning. he's going to visit the various parts of the u. k and the various nations of the u. k. so not just england, he's already been in scotland, but we think he'll, he'll be in edinburgh. he'll be in card if he'll be in belfast to, to, to, to, to speak to people in different parts of, of the u. k. and, and bring this country together worth noting, as you saw those pictures of him doing what now is known as a walk about that that was basically invented on foreign trips by the late queen. she was the one who decided that there was so many people clamoring to see her that she needed to get out and greet them in person and shake their hands. and of course, the person who then took that idea and really march with it more than any one else, was the prince's late wife, a princess, diana. and james, are we see that these matters are meticulously planned as you say? so what can we expect? the next few days in terms of that kind of protocol.

well, the most important thing and it's, it's a tradition is something will be a session council. now we haven't have one of those taking place since the queen's father george. the 6th died in 1952, its members of the privy council, which is a very ancient body used to be the thing that the ministers who advised the king when the king ruled on his own before we had parliamentary democracy in the u. k. the privy council still exists and has some 4 functions and dad joined by high commissioners from the countries effectively ambassadors from the countries that have the queen that share the queen as their head of state because of the queen. and now the king or king charles are the head of state, not just in the u. k, but in 14 other countries. and they will have this ceremony which are the 1st time is going to be televised. and then king charles will join that ceremony. they'll be

an oath sworn, so that that's very formal and important. it doesn't make him king, he's already king. he became king the moment that the queen died. but in the past, in history, there were battles over succession. there was over succession in european countries . and this is to prove and show that every was one is on board and recognizes him as the new king of the u. k. but also king of those other countries and the head of the commonwealth and the head of, of the anglican communion. and it changes often said that when it comes to this kind of protocol, an organization that britain is better at this, anyone else in the world? what was that? a fair comment? would you say britain is good at doing this at the patch entry of the protocol that they know exactly how to do it and they've done it so many times before. it will be

a challenge though in the modern age. because the last time we had a car, a coronation was, or what we're all, we had a role funeral and then a coronation, cuz that's the next thing down the line, the coronation of the account that was 70 years ago. and the security threats, of course, are so much greater, the population of this country is so much greater that we huge numbers of people wanting to come in to central london in the coming days, particularly when the late queen is lying in state for people to walk past her coffin, so huge numbers of people involved and that funeral, we still don't have the date confirmed or there needs to be confirmed by the man is organizing it. who is the duke of norfolk? but we are understanding that the lightly date is monday. the 19th of september, and that is going to be attended, we think by so many dignitaries, including leaders from around the world, including president biden, including leaders of most the european countries, members of all the commonwealth, the leaders of those countries like to be here

a very complex arrangements adding to that complexity that's happening just the day before we think the un general assembly, the high level week of the un, starts in new york. so you can have all the leaders flying here and then all of them flying straight back to new york. i'm a really complex logistical arrangement for all of those for administrators. all of those are presidential. busy offices and particularly for the authorities here in the u. k. okay, james base there. thank you very much for now. well la rob matheson is outside bow, moral castle in scotland. forest. now rub what's happening where you are and what was the significance? obama? because well, there are a crowds of people who are walking up and down the street here, then leaned up to the main gates obama castle. this has been going on for about 8 hours. there's been a regular possession of people who've been bringing up flowers and they've been

bringing tributes since on laying them in front of the gates just here with special messages. and some of them very personal messages. some of them very simple, but it's quite obvious from this that, that the strength of feeling that there is and has been for the queen over the years, not just from local people, not talk about those in the 2nd, but certainly from people from all over the world, during the course of the day, we've been watching people coming backwards and forwards and speaking to quite a few of them. and there are many people who have been traveling here were been visiting dalton, but a ton made a special effort to travel here to pay their respects because they are from a different country. and yet thorough family that has meant so much to them. the royal family has also meant so much to the people of bomb model and the surrounding area. the balmoral estate is somewhere that the wall family is set to have felt very safe, very secure. 8 says, surrounded by trees, is surrounded by mountains, is a very private place in it was somewhere that the family felt that they could be themselves

amused to see them ob, blindly driving around the street. so going into the local shops and that meant that the local people were very protective of the royal family. and you can see that in the people who have been coming here to day, not just the visitors from overseas, but also the local people from the local villages who've been coming to pay their respects. one woman told me that she regarded the queen herself as simply a neighbor as somebody that she would to see in the street and be quite comfortable to say hello to. interestingly, there was an american couple. i was talking to who said that they felt that americans felt incredibly strong and drawn towards the queen, particularly because she had a strong maternal instincts that she was very level headed when she was dealing with a crises and troubles that have her families and the country of had faced and they felt that it was at that kind of level headed leadership that said that they responded to balmore lit self is essays, a very special place in the hearts of the royal family. and of course,

this is where the body of queen is still being held at the moment. now, in a couple of days time on sunday, the queen's body is going to be moved to a hollywood palace. that's in edinburgh. and there is going to be a series of proclamations which are going to be made in the parliaments of scotland, wales and northern ireland. and then on the following day, was going to be a procession along the royal mile in edinburgh. and that's going to be to saint john's cathedral. that's where the queen's coffin is going to rest for a short while. well, there will be a special service that will be attended by the immediate family and course that the princes. it is also understood that to members of the public may be allowed to walk past the coffin. and whilst at such rest, innocent jaws cathedral, and then on tuesday, it's likely that the coffin is going to be moved to london for the beginning of the official funeral procedures. but it's been very interesting to watch the faces of people here in ball moral. because while we've been hearing about cala cries of

anguish and upset and concerned at the loss of the queen, here the atmosphere is different. it is not somber. it is respectful when people clearly going by little expressions on their faces have suffered some sort of loss, but sometimes it seemed a unable to put it exactly in towards what it is, the that the connection that they had with the cream. so with, with this procession, that is of people that we've been seeing coming through to the ball moral gates. there's been a variety of different people. this is a time for local people and people from all over the world to pay their respects to her majesty the queen. okay, for now rob mathson that at tat bow morrow castle forest there. thank you. ulta many in britain at queen lisbon was a symbol of stability. a figurehead who upheld the institution of monarchy, she inherited a post warburton saw the end of its colonial empire and witnessed briggs it

throughout. everything should remain constant as ne balkan articles arranged sole years of traumatic change, the social, cultural, and technological revolution that altered the very landscape of the nation. but the queen retained the same values, the same habits, an unchanging presence in a country, living through times of turmoil and conflict. she was just 25 when she came to the throne. exactly the same age as the 1st queen elizabeth and was only 18 at the end of the 2nd world war where she had served as an ambulance driver. only 8 years later, she was being crowned on almost every level kind of politically, culturally in terms of technological innovation. in terms of sort of society. i mean, every sort of massive change in the late 20th century. obviously, she's lived 3 things ranging from, obviously the fall off about

a year at the end of apartheid africa in england, a female prime minister, the 1st black president in america. so those kind of landmark, also things like the development world wide web, which is obviously have a huge impact on society. the queen very much left away in technology as far as worlds, how many the consent in 1997. she actually was pretty behind launching the family 1st website, which monarchy and then in more recent years, we saw her get pretty behind things like facebook page for them on a key in 2010. and all the things while they were being developed aids would always say they were sent right to the top. it wasn't, they were being worked on my press secretaries. she ever saw all those development in technology. and she had said she was also all too aware of a new kind of national grid. we're in the liberal terrorism for a long time. take the off in the 2nd world war, the problems in northern ireland. she was shocked at a new wave of terrorism,

islamic terrorism had hit london and define who she stood in that central all over there about the palace and observed 2 minutes silence. i say defiance as if to say you can promise, but will not photo. and as britain shifted to become a more multicultural society, and one that was more accepting of divorce, the queen's family to seem to adapt when one of her grandsons, prince harry married, megan marco, a bi racial american actress who had been married before. yet months after the wedding differences began to emerge, and eventually the couple made allegations of racism against members of the royal household. harry and megan and the rest of the royal family started off with the best of intentions. we're going to work together. we're going to take the wall family into the 21st century. but how do you change a medieval western european system overnight? it's very difficult to do that. the queen,

so the family was saddened by the couples decision to step back from the royal family and moved to the united states. when she came to the throne, the queen made a promise to the nation. whether it be long or short shall be to vacate the okay and to the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong. it was a pledge, many would say she managed to fulfil, remaining a constant and an ever changing world. ne parker al jazeera london or christopher wilson is a royal biographer, he's in london, and joins us live now. good to happy with us, sir. why do you think the population of a year okay, and beyond? i feel so fondly about queen elizabeth her, her style of monarchy, her character or both. i think about trying else. she was non threatening. she was non confrontational. and

i think that what's happened is, you know, as a, was developed since she came to the throne. we have come to recognize foot molecule works very well, does make matriarchy we have a mother figure who is not threatening who is not telling us what to do. what she's doing is admiring. she's paying back the respect that we get. and i think that that really works. she remain retained her dignity, but was there was a warmth of maternal embrace. now of course we have a man again on the throne and that style is going to be different. and prince charles is addressing that, i think, even as we speak, i mean there was so many, but what do you think were the defining moments of her re her? well, i think the earth well enough her that sometimes you can say those most signal

events like the coronation at the moment when the crown is placed upon her head, is a almost religious act. ah, one of them is sullen pieces of theatre in the world. and on the other end of the scale, oh, i saw the queen with her marmalade sandwich in her handbag and paddington bare a set of breaking her recent jubilee. and i thought that was absolutely hilarious to say got both ends of the scale. and by the way, i was very interested to see that the handbag that she had a novel, a sandwich, and with having to bear was the same hand bag that she greeted at the new prime minister this trust with. and i did ask myself whether in fact she put a mom of a sandwich inside just as a job. and how do you think she felt about the evolving relationship with

commonwealth countries, which is still evolving today? some would say unraveling even well, yes, you can say unraveling, but on the world change is it well moves on various change in that. so thing and some of the merchant nations. well, they're hard to imagine that they've been around for very long time. but i think that they're, they're feeling that they want a greater measure of independence in the sense that they want to look at themselves and say, well, we don't, oh ah, and national characteristics to somebody who lives in london and hasn't visitors for years and years and years on the other hand you got somewhere like canada. busy oh, less so australia, but canada where there, absolute devoted to this woman who lives thousands and thousands mile away. and so m, you know, the politics in the world change and it's perfectly understandable for groups within the co workers decide that they want to change. that's perfectly ok,

and the queen felt reasonably ok about that. i think she spent the early part of a rain trying desperately hard to bring these nations together to give them a sense of conformity, cohesion, and job done. if now they feel grown up enough to want to set off in their own direction, they may regret it, but that's their and their title to do that. and i think the queen would have nodded at that. you mentioned king charles with what kind of mana can we expect him to be? do you think it's going to be a saw ray and i think we have to understand that it will be in parallel. i'm akin to that of king edward the 7th. the son of queen victoria, but the great thing was that the end of the 7th reign was short. it was very impressive. he a, on a world stage, was a towering figure. he brought her the leaders of other countries together in

a way the politicians were unable to do. and he said he was immense on the well, sage of also metz round his waist as well. and so i see that there is a place for charles in the history books. he's not going to have the historians not gonna spend as much time going over his reign as, as they will do over greenland was. and i think too, that one of the most important things that he can do is paved the way for prince william as william or charles had to wait for years and years and years in order to be able to come king. i hope that what he does is he gives prince william a chance to shine more, to have more say in what's going on than he himself was allowed to do. and think charles has been somewhat outspoken in, in royal terms, at least on certain issues in the past. will that change now? yes. ah, that's the big question, isn't kerry i,

we don't know yet. i been looking at him today. he looks a wonderful avuncular figure. he's presenting himself to the nation and i may say he went to speak to the people before he went to speak to his prime minister. that's a as a 1st. and i think that that he's a, a good man at heart. and if he can rain in some of those tendencies to want to tell people what to do, that will be a good thing. but you know, we have to wait and see. and it's easy to forget, isn't it that despite his role, he is right now mourning the death of his mother. if indeed, i think we have to balance this operation on a bridge which is taking care of the queen's dispatch to the other world over the next 10 days has been in place for 25 or 30 years. and prince charles was part of

the plan that was set up all those years ago. so in a sense, you know, he's been, he knows what's coming now for very long time. and in recent months he has seen the decline of his mother. and so he would have prepared himself for that. i think more important as far as he's concerned is getting everything sorted. embarking about was there gonna be a change of courtiers? of course the, oh god who surrounded the queen will be pushed to one side and his all will come in . they'll be a certain amount of friction between the 2. during the change over perez, and i would like to be a fly on the ball to hear some of the stories again with that. but i think that so getting is have ministration in order is the 1st priority has got to do and also seeing making sure that his mother, the queen is said goodbye to in

a proper and fishing manner in only the way that the british can do. christopher wilson, role biographer, we very much appreciate your time here. thank you. thank you, gary. ok. charles will be officially proclaimed as britain's new monarch on the saturday. and as sonya diego explains, his 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 dead. married 1st to diana spencer. he began having an affair with camilla parker bowles before diana's tragic death. that in itself was a public relations problem. diana died a tragedy in 1997. the challenge was how does he in

a run come rehabilitate camina who was his mistress? and the answer to that was years of painstaking work, emphasizing hunger qualities of 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 produced a wealth of comfortable kate. charles's 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 of the bid and to express political

opinions or the porters have tried to ask his a, have literally blocked them behaving on prostitution, the violence was exactly like that. so as 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 doors. we don't know the details, the conversations, but even know the remote for that conversation. so maybe that has to open doc. so as you can see, what is a good thing? that's a healthy thing or maybe there's a, there's a glitch. it shouldn't happen 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, 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 formative cornel. charles will also leave 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 richmond and the doctor. and it's on arguable that in terms of the brands of the house of windsor, charles, his son,

william and his wife katherine, 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 doubt had many years to dwell on these things. his choices will help determine whether support for the molecule continues as it is now in the world. so anyhow, yeah, go, i'll just, sarah. well, that joy sigo is a writer and editor. she's also the author of jamaicans in britain, a legacy of leadership, but she joined us from london. welcome to the program. how do you think the caribbean and african communities in the u. k. will view the queen's passing wow i'm, i believe so far. all the people i've spoken to actually, while the sad about it and i can be one now and more the one has to remember that the queen,

whatever we needed was the 2nd one. i know the one you may be, she has always been that throughout most of our last time. so it's quite monumental given so moments that she pos and all we can do is to say may smith and he's and look forward to the future. and is there a difference then, between how the queen was regarded by, for example, jamaicans in the u. k. compared to jamaicans living in jamaica? i'm i, from what i've seen jamaica living in jamaica, broadly speaking. but i love the queen, of course, the late queen. but it's because now you know, times change, he's looking towards becoming, becoming a topic and moving to the lake where, you know, the monarchy is that i had to stay. but at the same time, i,

for many was momma case. it's just in the same way that they want independence, they would like to have it. they was like my case, still a war relationship with mom. i do think them on a key will prevail them. and if so, does it need to reinvent itself in some way? i don't think, i think it's a whole here. because if you think of how far we've been in the last 10 years, because now the mother williams, they talking about the issues that you might make. but maybe, and you know, this is something that, you know, what i'm,

you know, there may be actually very teeth to have that stuff. and is there an attention then between those who may be rightly resented colonialism and those who saw the commonwealth as an opportunity. but i'm sorry for some good sense of between those who resented colonialism. 7 yes, that's all right, the difference between those who saw colonialism as, as a bad thing, and those who saw the commonwealth as an opportunity. and so as of work, for example, let's look at the, can i give them what i'm saying by any standards? you know, we'll know from that and it wants to be, it wasn't the, the applicant of the applicant that the african so the african been but you know,

we've moved forward. we've moved forward in that need to keep moving forward. and i think with these are the common what actually my soon as he still today to actually me even father or what you know to who's making reparation, comprehensive dialogue and so on. because we're very different when when, when clean is came into power and looking ahead then as you say, how does the monarchy evolve in terms of its interactions with minority communities? what i quite like what they're doing at the moment is that more that but the weights that sending me from the south. he came now that he and he just gets to the he's the voice which is meeting. right.

so this is actually a wonderful thing. some people may or may not like it, but it is a step in the right direction. i mean, it's all about increasing the t and, you know, everyone is trying to actually understand what the other is thinking and to, to, to build and maintain a good dialogue. and i really feel that child, i in a position to do that moving forward in the agency. all the things he's done some, some wonderful things for the general community. richard. well, many people from i think my have actually benefited from such a distance. it's just he makes time to visit various can meet very communities and so i think we're going in the right direction and hopefully they will be some

very good outcome for all people. ok, really. but that joy figure. thank you very much indeed for your time here. on out there you can take queen elizabeth was also the 1st british monitor to visit china. she met the leader dang shopping during her visit to beijing in $1086.00. the trip was seen as a critical piece of diplomacy. it came soon after difficult negotiations between the u. k and china and the signing of the agreement to transfer hong kong back to chinese rule was to go is chair, professor of su, child university and vice president of the center for china and globalization. he was the official translator of the chinese premier when he visited the u. k. in june 1985, but he joins us on skype from beijing. so what was queen elizabeth like that? thank you very much for having me. first of all, allow me to express our deepest condolences for the passing away of our magister

majesty the queen. it isn't by the 2nd, she was highly regarded by many people here in china. and i recall the visit to the united kingdom in 1985 by the chinese premier. the time i was with the delegation and we were invited to visit her majesty day the queen in the buckingham palace in june 1985 my memory offer registered. the queen was very vivid. she was very elegant. she was very polite and she always said the right thing and the wrong at the right time. and i was the last to leave the 2nd floor dining room and i had a great honor of shaking her majesty's a hand before i descended the stag case. it was truly alive, term ah, memory for my aunt to borrow, mary courier. and ever since then,

i've no quite a few of the chinese ambassadors to the united kingdom. each of them had the great pleasure of meeting with her majesty the queen or when they presented the credentials. so i would say that today, many people in china also more the passing away of her majesty till the queen. and she is still highly regarded by many people here in china. we really respect her life long devotion to her duty and to her carrying for the people of britain as well as of the commonwealth. and she is truly a great leader, extraordinary leader in her own way. you mentioned 1985 there all those years ago. what did the chinese leadership at the time make of her? well, in 1985, you may recall that a joint declaration between china and the united kingdom was signed and there was

a great deal of a beat in china. british relations and great offence were made in preparation for the handover of the return of hong kong to china. in 1997, there was a higher level of optimism. therefore, the visit to the united kingdom in 1985. by the time his prey, premier took place in the overall framework that visit in 1985 also paved the way for her majesty's visit to china in 1986. so these 2 things happened. one after another, the signing of a john declaration in 1984, the premier's visit to the united kingdom in 1985 and her majesty's visit to china in 1986. that was probably truly the golden period of china, u. k. relations. and in china were regard her majesty,

queen elizabeth the 2nd as playing very important and steady role in the friendly relations between the chinese people and the british people. so i think she will be remembered very positively and fondly by many people here in china for many years to come. and in that official meeting, was it a relaxed affair? how did it go? do you think in that respect it was a very relaxed fear atmosphere the majesty took, ah, the gave us the invitation to him by the delegate. him to lunch are in the 2nd floor, our dining room in the buckingham palace. and i recall the lunch went through a without a glitch. and her majesty the queen was very ah, a friendly towards all of us. and she could speak on the 1st thing come to
