10:35 am
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 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, female prime minister, the 1st black president in america. so those kind of landmark also think about the development of the world wide web, which is obviously have a huge impact on society. the queen very much left away in technology as far as
10:36 am
world companies are concerned in 1997. she actually was pretty behind launching the family 1st website to the british monarchy. and then in more recent years, we saw pretty behind things like a facebook page for them on a key in 2010. and all these 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 by press secretaries, she ever saw all those developments in technology and she had of state. she was also all too aware of a new kind of national grid with the new liberal terrorism for a long time. took the off in the 2nd world war with 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 office over there and observed the 2 minutes silence. i said you fox as if to say you can promise,
10:37 am
but we are not folder and has written shifted to become a 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 markelle, 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 war family into the 21st century. but how do you change it a met evil, 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,
10:38 am
shall be to vacate your savings and to the service i. b and kale 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. the park al jazeera london will bring in our guests in just a moment. but 1st, let's take a closer look at the role of the british monarchy. it's known as a constitutional monarchy, meaning the sovereign is the head of state, but doesn't rule that's done by the government. and the monarch must work in conjunction with the parliament. so the powers of symbolic and ceremonial, and a meant to be politically neutral. the monarch is also the head of state for 14 other commonwealth countries. these include australia, canada, jamaica, and new zealand. in all these roles, the monarch is supported by members of the royal family. ah, let's bring in a guess joyce. the good is
10:39 am
a writer and it's an author of jamaicans in britain, a legacy of leadership. she joins us london in lloyd is a royal writer and former roll photographer. he joins us from oxford and zide at melbourne. he is the managing partner of hardcastle advisory, a london based political consultancy, in is also a political commentator and adviser. he also joins us from london for long live the queen, or rather live the king and the queen is dead. all of these things we keep hearing, we keep hearing of the legacy of this woman. i want to bring it in. lloyd here in oxford, and you spent a lot of time with the queen. you took a number of pictures of how you went on key visits with we keep hearing this idea. she was the epitome of duty that she knew exactly what she was doing. is that right? yes, i think that's. that's exactly right. she was trained by her parents because her father came to the throne, unexpectedly,
10:40 am
when his brother abdicated in 1936. so he was landed with the job of king without any experience. and he was determined that the same thing wouldn't happen to his daughter. so she was only $25.00 when she became queen. she was trained by the king. so she saw documents from the time of the 2nd world war and had her own box of government papers from the foreign office so that she could get used to being the queen. and i think when she started i, i entered it later on a private secretary at the queen's and he said in the early days she was always saying, what would my father done? so she was very keen to continue that legacy. and she was a very disciplined person as well, who was very good, the executive side of the job, of the reading, the documents and you know,
10:41 am
assiduously kind of and training herself, i suppose on the job it from when she became queen in 952 well, in just the idea of her that she knew what she was doing, that she had this sense of duty. but over 2nd decades, the world completely changed. and she was there for guiding britain. almost through many of those changes. was she aware of the kinds of seismic shifts that were going on, or she kind of insulated from all of them? i think she's very aware of it. i mean, as she took her role as, as mother of the country the like very seriously. she read a certain amount of the correspondence that was sent to her by ordinary men and women. and she would say that the expression is the buck stops here. she knew that the people quite often had failed to get something, whether it's an operational something and they didn't know who to turn to. so they wrote to the queen and she was very experienced in
10:42 am
a sort of try to find out what people wanted. the other thing that she did was, every day she read all the newspapers. so she was aware of what was happening, the mood in the, in the country, the only time because she got it wrong was during the week diana died. and i don't think she could quite get used to that. that sudden change that came about when the princess of wales was killed in 1997. let's bring it to joy here. joy. what we're hearing from in seems to be what a lot of people are saying that she did have the sense of duty that she was this woman that presided over the like 7 decades in the seismic shifts. and she was aware of them. but i don't know if that's really the case. i mean, the rule household in particular is incredibly white. it didn't really impact it. didn't employ a person british color until very,
10:43 am
very recently it seemed to be out of touch with what was going on in her own country. what do you think? well, i was actually slightly disagree with that. i do believe that cleaned it as a 2nd. was very much in touch with or she had some insight into all of her subjects. she was always that they were all that have always been people of color in the household hundreds of years in one capacity or other. we know very well about clean victoria. we know george george george, but he has a black wife or possibly black from that descendant african descent. and so i'm and she also raised her children in the same way. and i do know that they always had they were always in touch. certainly with members from the
10:44 am
black community, whether they be from england or throughout to come out. ready an interesting point, they have been people from various walks of life in the rural household. i mean it's all the green toria was mentioned that she was the empress of india. she brought over a indian person to basically help her understand the country. she was ruling, this is a legacy of colonialism, wasn't multi cultural britain we're talking about right when it came to queen elizabeth the 2nd and i again would politely disagree in some respects. i'll explain why it's, it's the 7 decades of, of rural that you mentioned. again, an extraordinary period in, in world history, the queen over saw imperialism fascism, communism, and took us through to the tech age. and i think as a monarch who started her rain, you know, as the sovereign of, of 70 countries to, to, to, to day,
10:45 am
she managed that process and britain's and shifting role in the world. and with a plum. and i think the royal family has done well to reconfigure itself towards people of different color and different and communities. and that's definitely something that king charles is about. he's and he stated that over and over he and lloyd, it's an extraordinary legacy, isabel, especially when you for that consider, you know, the 7 decades that she has been in this job. but you've also got to consider, we also have to consider in brittany impact of, of this, the judiciary, the legal system, are all on her majesty's service, or if she's the ceremonial head that suddenly changes to his majesty. does that make a difference at all? to thank well it's going to take some getting used to, i mean, you know, quick lane see lawyers, queens counselors, now the king's counselors and one thing will know to straight away all soon will be the change in the king's image on the bank notes and coins where it's,
10:46 am
you'd have to be about 80 years old. now to remember a time when we signed god save the king and the king's head was on the stamps on the coins. so it's going to take some getting used to and old you're in my life and people much older than me. everything has been in the presence of the queen and quite often the queen on the duke reading. so it's going to take an awful lot of adjustment, i think, but i mean, it happened when the queen became queen. so equally, it's going to happen again, but we're just not used to it. so 70 is an amazing amount of time, isn't it? i we enjoy when queen elizabeth the 2nd came into the roll and the head of the royal family and became queen. we lived in a very different well, there wasn't the internet. there wasn't this kind of 24 hour scrutiny that was on the wall family. we now have seen the effect of that 24 hours scrutiny. we've seen
10:47 am
everything blow up any for any kind of control. the blow up into something like huge where people start talking about it on talk shows. they're all family so much more public now than it ever was doing. king charles is capable of dealing with that. i do actually, and i think for the last couple of decades, he's been really very well prepared and he's shown a great interest in it in it, particularly in london. it's very evident the diversity that the diversity of the country. he has involved in south schemes that actually lifted many people from from other, from ethnic minorities and, and given them opportunities, whether it's through the prince's trust or any other school that he has done. and he's really come to the forefront. and i have to say,
10:48 am
i'm quite looking forward to seeing what other changes he will make, he will make to the establishment. or do you think you agree with that? it seems quite an optimistic assessment. it is optimistic though, we're missing one other thing here, which is the role that the monica has externally. and i think we're seeing that in the, in the tribute, et cetera. you saw the tribute from vladimir putin, i'm sure, really remarkable the same. you know, the u. k has a very difficult relationship with europe. the tribute from the you and president, my com we're, we're remarkable in the same regard. and i think the monarchy has its role in britain retaining its influence on the world stage. and the queen, you know, certain relationships and certain a certain personal report will be lost with the passing of the queen. however, king charles is representing the institution and he will be able to benefit from some of that institutional memory on the, on the diplomatic stage. definitely in king charles the 2nd when he was prince
10:49 am
edges of charles the 31st. but when he was prince charles, he was who actually took an active look at what the royal family meant and down to the menu show of like how many members of the household should that be? was very, he was taking a look at what the monica meant. in the 21st century, now he hasn't charles to actually change the monarchy. will he? will he change it? will you take that child? i think in certain ways, definitely. i mean, an obvious one is, is the, the number of people who are members of the royal family, if you ask people in the street, what they don't like about monica. quite often it's, it's what they call hangers on the distant relatives, the cousins and so on. and i think he will streamline them on the case. so we'll get rid of prince andrew will. he's already gone, but i mean, it will be very focus will be very much on the immediate line of succession with
10:50 am
certain exceptions. obviously, princess royal does a fantastic job and, and would be very much part of the firm. and i think with edward and sophie as well, but apart from that, the very great number of royals will be reduced and i think they'll, he'll think about certain things like the palaces. i mean, we still not to really to say what will happen, but it, there was rumors that he might make windsor castle, his seat of government if you like. and, and buckingham palace would be permanently open to the public. but it could be the other way around. we don't know yet, but i think there will be quite a lot of changes. i think he's more open to change is probably than the queen was queen was a great traditionalist. and she was of the opinion. if it's not it's not broken or forgotten freight. i but you know, she, she, she didn't really want to change that much. so i think it could be an interesting time for the molecule. certainly in terms of adapting to the future. joy is
10:51 am
adapting enough or does it need a radical change? oh, i don't, taishan began quite some time ago. actually it's been very slow, but it's been evolving every year over the years. and, and we've seen that. i mean, they have no option when princess diana died, then to make some radical changes and they made a complete turn around. and now, i mean, irrespective of what happened, i came, charles has to black grandchildren. i mean, you know, it happening very slowly, but very certainly and i do feel that it's tony, it's going in the right direction. i mean, because it changes overnight. you know, it's going in the right direction. actually these times are very difficult because a number of the former colonies,
10:52 am
they no longer wants to be part of. they don't want a k to be at the head. but at the same time, they want to maintain a very good relationship with them. it's not to forget that the people from all these countries, they all locked queen elizabeth, well, let's talk about the commonwealth. it's actually one of the things that i certainly will always associate with queen elizabeth. the 2nd she seemed to be very much bought into the idea of the commonwealth. she. ready she's certainly somebody that was kept, it kept the idea going for very long times. i budget for the commonwealth is a ridiculous name because it's a legacy of colonialism. it's a legacy of britain, take it, taking and stealing a lot of countries, wealth and then calling it the commonwealth. but we'll mass is the commonwealth now? still something that king charles will take on because it seemed to me to me very much his mother's project in some respects. yes,
10:53 am
because she was the monarch that over saw the shrinking of, of british territories. as i said, when she became queen, she was the queen of 70 plus countries, in terms of it being associated with her. i mean, it is where it remains the 2nd largest international organization in the world. it has the ability to do a lot more. we saw prince charles in recent years as the transition was taking place. take a more active role. but i also think there scope for britain's role in the well to be increased somewhat. i mean, in recent memory, the queen was on postage stamps in bahrain, guitar, kuwait, and what is now the u. a. e. and i think that the commonwealth is mr. step in some respects in making sure that all of the areas in which britain had some influence and that it's not extended further. the monarchy is also able to kind of retain britain's relationship and expand upon them elsewhere. the queen oversaw the period of the special relationship with the united states and for example,
10:54 am
not going to fall in recent years. the relationship with morocco has undergone, renee songs, morocco in the united kingdom have had relationship for 800 years. and the depth of that is because of this into did austic relationship. so i think the monarchy can do a lot more to build britain's place in the world upon the, the progress that they've already had in recent decades. i mean, in lloyd brittany is off to a headstart because of its a unique position within the commonwealth. you went to several of those countries where the queen herself took pictures with her. you must have witnessed the warm welcome and the politics of all of this, but now we are witnessing countries wanting to get rid of the monarchy is the head of state. but like joy said, still wanting to maintain all the relationship. is there an opportunity for king charles to be able to do that? yes, although obviously he to a certain extent he's limited because of his age. i mean, i suppose that he,
10:55 am
the queen was 25 and she put in the legwork in the early years of her rain. i mean, the 1st tour of australia, new zealand, jamaica in some pacific islands was almost 6 months. so because it had to be by sea in those days, for prince charles won't be able to have that sort of intense for sort of the amount of time in this, in the country. so i suppose he, a lot of it will devote them to william and catherine, i suppose. but i can imagine that a lot of the countries will use this opportunity now to replace the queen of the king. now as, as head of state, because having been to australia, ministers very ought to be at the other end of the world and have the queen's head on the notes and the stamps again. you know, so it's, i think that that's almost going to happen very much in fairly soon. but at
10:56 am
the same time he and william, i think we'll use the commonwealth to for their own initiatives, particularly things like the environment. and so, rather than just being a political organization, i think it will be a useful body of people that story and we already know i do, i do want to very quickly come to joy as well, joy, we're talking about to come work now, and the fact that it could be re told you actually mentioned the idea that you know, a lot of countries may, will replace the queen the king rather. now as i'm going to make that mistake for a while, we all are, i think for a while. but is that a good thing? i, i see the commonwealth as you know, i mean, today the common, well the actual original term can be used today for a different manifestation and many, i mean, so many of these countries and somebody mentioned earlier that they have issues
10:57 am
with the fact that they feel that in to have in britain as in the past, taken their well taken their resources and so on and pulled it out and called it, well. well, today we can actually turn that around to everybody. because there's a lot of negotiating that has already started and needs to go on in terms of not, not just reparation, but making good on some of the things that have happened in the past that have been negative to want to want some of these countries and i think it could be a good thing to have that dial in that body of people together coming together so that it can be something that actually profitable for both sides for all in not just one, not just one player, not at all from a wow. older i guess joyce a good in lloyd and zide boba's you and i want to thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website or is there a dot com and for further discussion,
