ah ah. the end of an era, brittany squinted, is out of the 2nd, is lay to rest. how different with the reign of king charles the 3rd b. and what bold does the british monarchy play in a world where the commonwealth relevance is in doubt? this is inside story. ah

hello and welcome to inside. sorry i am hush him a bottle. the united kingdom has said a final good bye to its longest reigning monarch quinn. elizabeth, the 2nd was crowned in 1953 just a few years after world war 2. when she had was served in the military at the mechanic. while her father helped rally britain against the germans. during her 70 years, all the throne, she witnessed the fall of imperialism and the rise of democracies. queen elizabeth was not only the head of the royal family and the british had of state. she was the head of the commonwealth. a group of 56 independent nations thought a higher looks back at her legacy. a nation pauses. 2

minutes a silence observed not only across the united kingdom barton several other countries, a final good bye to queen elizabeth the 2nd. ah, seats in rich british and christian tradition, her funeral was held in westminster abbey 100 year old building, where she married and later crowned walled leaders, heads of government dignitaries. another rose were in attendance on her casket, imperial state, crown, and the sovereign sceptre. in all the symbols of the power of the monarchy. and controversially, it's colonialism recent calls by many in south africa and india for the jewels to be returned. ah, the queen's funeral lashes in a new era. her son charles, the 3rd is now king. he's also head of 56 commonwealth countries, mostly former colonies, with a population of around 2 and a half 1000000000. for 14 of these countries,

he is head of state support to say they benefit from a membership that includes bilateral corporation on international goals, jocelyn, market, pow. during her reign, she was committed to her nation and friendships with others in the commonwealth. she earned our respect and admiration by winning the hearts of millions of people in the u. k. and the world of celebrity cassandra commonwealth lebowski. busy truly canada, of all, i think that all canadians will reflect appropriately on the queen. the different governments have made their own decision to mark the occasion. but for me, i recognize that for 70 years, there's been a queen who was profoundly interested in canada format. but to try to stay, the commonwealth is a post colonial club with little relevance in the modern world. and the association of king charles has led to renewed calls to remove the british monica as head estate to some nation. let's look out who we are. the people who we are or the

nation m really look at moving forward. let's look at the colonizing from britain, the united nations. i'm told us, you need to the colonizers riley. you need to cut off the colonial shackles. this will be the time to do it. with horizon nationalists, nancy colonial sentiment, the future of the british monarchy is uncertain. charles says he's ready to embrace change, but it's unclear to what extent that change will affect britain's legacy. ah, so to hide it inside story. ah, let's bring in our guess from london zaid bedbugs. you managing partner hardcastle advisory of political consultancy from new delhi medulla mckenzie. a professor of history or joy le narrow university and from sydney were joined by cindy mccreery had of the more than monarchy in global perspectives. research hub at sydney

university. welcome to the program. that is defining what it means to be a monarch in modern times particular myth, this ever changing political landscape in the okay. is it going to be the biggest challenge facing king charles the 3rd? i think it will be and you're quite right to point out hashem. however, it is something that the monarchy has looked at for several decades. now we've seen a monarchy that's growing very much more acute to young people's issues. the use of social media trending issues such as climate change. and i think king charles, while he has been taking on some of the roles of, of her late majesty, has been very keen to embrace there's issues to keep the, the monarchy up to date and relevant rodella. king charles, the 3rd is definitely going to start building bridges with, with the different parts of the world, and particularly with the commonwealth index, part of a, of the commonwealth king. when he was a prince,

charles made many visits to india. he said he was impressed with the diversity of the country, but you get a sense of there's a complex relationship there, particularly this sentiment among the indians that the, that britain needs to apologize for the atrocities that were committed during the british colonial rule. so the 1st fixture, yes, i think the fax back came charters when he was in st. john's made more than 10 visit to endeavor just place on august. be sure that you had from strong interest in many aspects of the country. it is known that for example, i would be about the traditional system of medicine. he should not have been just some very interesting aspect. you know, for example, that the ball as a bomb be difference to lack of people to bicycle

and chain and whatnot. so he's been interested in, in many things. mother theresa in there. very interesting story of his so obviously i think he has already which will be much more than many other in the family. and i understand that so by the very famous position being his position for the last one day and a decade to manners white. so i think that i speak off in life, which obviously interested him, fascinated him. he's taking a lot of interest as you know, in the issue of climate change, you supported various strategies that have worked in india. so on the, i don't think it's going to be like and i'm familiar to him and i don't think he

should find it to be within budget and you know, the healing or sometimes the mind that comes or apartment g for the atrocities, etc. yes, i think the, the mindset for me was basically like when the queen made her last a visit, there was no public anger or a feeling that when she visited genoa bar, which was the sight of one of the atrocities, rare hundreds of people who located in black that she should apologize when she didn't actually apologize in so many words, but expressed a regret. and so there was also a sense of regretting that she did not come across as full upon that you've been a good wish to point out when you will. then if this is cynthia senate, if you don't mind, i'll get back to you to talk more in detail about those issues. but let me go next to cindy. cindy, i would like to ask you this question. is there an urgent need for king charles

a 3rd to reinvent rebrand with form the monarchy for the monarch itself to continue to appeal to his own people? thank you hush. and that's a really complex question. because on the one hand, i do think as an earlier speaker said that there are many issues that charles is can very committed to such as climate change, youth issues which appeal very much young people in my country, australia, but also countries in the united kingdom. and around the world, and i think that would give charles great more popularity with that demographic. and we know, for example, that many young people don't actually connect very well with charles at the moment . and they have more sympathy and interest in younger members of the world. family, not only the new prince and princess of wales, but also controversial harry and megan. so that's a challenge to charles if he wants to retain and encourage youth interest in him as

a monarch. on the other hand, of course, as he said in his 1st speech, following the queen's death, he very much wants to follow in her footsteps and he, what he's trying to demonstrate a sense of stability and continuity with the very successful ran his mother. but to modernize too quickly or too far to appeal to young people, risks of course, losing support among older generations who typically tend to be more in favor of the monarchy in many countries. so i think it's a very great challenge to charles and also that i think a number of the areas where charles can perhaps make and the greatest contribution is not in his role as sovereign. but as head of the commonwealth on climate change, youth issues are areas where not only are many people interested around the corner, but it's also an area where he may be able to speak more freely than of course he can as a sovereign where of course he needs to be very quiet and not to be seen to be meddling in the politics of britain or need any other country. zayed king charles, the 3rd is king of the u. k. 4 deeply divided nations that form the united

kingdom divided by class generation geography. politics economy, isn't this an extremely extraordinary task, though the monarch itself will have to assume that if he is in the near future to be able to bring together this, this governing 4 nations, you're quite right hush him. and again, like we've discussed earlier in this debate, it's one about relevance. you will have know said that the monarchy has been very keen to hug the devolved nations of scotland more than islands and wales during this 10 days of national morning. it is no mistake or accident that the queen began . the coffin began in edinburgh, there were bagpipes that a funeral and king charles with keen to address the wealth parliament in welsh. and there, there was a very emotive visit to belfast. there's no mistake that the money he has done this

on purpose and even going farther afield. there will be an issue of course with with them the home nations. but even father field with canada, australia, new zealand. we can expecting charles to be on the plane. i think that the queen visited canada over 20 times again. she was, i'm sure, and a great author of her own funeral today, and it was no mistake and no accident that canadian mounties led the funeral procession again and not to a larger, more political issue that may or may not rear. it said in the future, in terms of the most pressing one for king charles it would be scotland because there are parts of scotland. flight the rest is with regards to the parts of the union. however, what he has on his side is his grandmother, the queen, mother, queen elizabeth, she was, she was scottish. the family does have deep scottish roots, and it will not be lost upon many that king james. the 1st came to inherit road

from elizabeth the 1st and he was king of scott and the 2, the 2 kingdoms are very much united in terms of blood and history. where did a quite interesting, why thoughts of the death of queen elizabeth seconds in, in jail particular social media. there was this demand for the return of the famous gay nor diamond that was his india and was forced the, the air that the main jewel on the main part of the crown jewel. now apart from this, they said this aside, bony india, when you have part of the commonwealth, you have the queen. now the king as the head of the state, although a symbolic roll, doesn't this going to look one day, a very anachronistic idea that needs to go away with history. you know, i think it's necessary to understand that when you get to the farm road, this is to was very much there. then how would you during the fall and there was

becoming but this was back in get it knocked 9. the king or the queen of england asked them why not, not? it's not, it's not the same relationship as the king was then recognized as the symbol of the unity of the best, but not as a monarch, or as somebody who was recognized as the head in any way it occupied any position building. so this was the one that was made on the right aspect. i mean, to be active independent. so therefore, the monarchy in relative not being in the same way advocate scene from, from australia or we tried to extend, you know, which, which is where business people you know. so there is, there is,

i don't think of any issue or what the baptist was wrong. nobody in order leaving this, but we know, so we know england defend due to that being about the court. he knew or demand keeps coming up from time to time. and of course it's, it's really from up now. it has come up already. now that this is a time to use that frankly, i don't think that it's for the we would be really happy to get the call, you know? but i think politically, why my name is that i think that that needs be 3 that you know, the thing is that the british products returning all that they've taken from the rest of the was going to be empty. and i don't think back the agenda. so i don't think it's cindy. the bahamas, prime minister, philip davis intends to hold

a referendum to remove king, chose a 3rd as official head of state of the bahamas. this comes against the back of a decision made in 2021 by but bade us, which removed quinet as of the 2nd as quick as head of the state, the strangers are looking forward to do the same thing. are we talking about an organization for commonwealth that becomes more and more irrelevant in the eyes of many people? well, i think we need to distinguish hash and between the commonwealth and commonwealth realms. there $56.00 nation members of the commonwealth, but of those $5636.00 are republics like india and only $1415.00, including united kingdom or come work rounds. and then there are 5 other monarchies . so i don't think is a question that the commonwealth itself will become irrelevant that i do think we will see as you've just suggested more commonwealth robins becoming republics. that what we know, and india really was the test case to this. that it is possible for

a country to become a public, but remained within the commonwealth. i do think that will happen. i don't think all come off runs will change. i don't the canada will. and i think we known as j that our prime minister is confirmed that his priority in his 1st term of office is to in china and indigenous voice in hon. it. and that her reverend, on the public would wait till her 2nd term of his government, which is jane would not start til 2025. so i think we've got a while to wait with strayer, new zealand and other bumps. but the commonwealth itself, i think, has potential now with charles as it's head, because as i've said, he is so interested in many issues which are relevant. the commonwealth has some of the youngest. it's got the very and youthful population. it's got some of the poorest nations in the world. it's got nations which are so vulnerable to climate change. and these are issues which charles has a solid track record of advocating for. so i think the commonwealth might actually become more relevant under charles's leadership,

even if the number of commonwealth rounds drops. and they do a token her early about scotland. she's a but us, you know, there's this pro independence sentiment which is gaining momentum in different parts of the world in scotland was one of those spaces in of an island. the sheen fame became the af, so this year's elections, the largest political party in northern ireland assembly. couldn't this been indication that the molecule will really have to tackle some of the most delicate issues they has just been delayed for quite some time? which is basically many people saying those about time for us to chance our own political course, our own destiny. definitely, and i think and scotland is an important case. as you know, there was a referendum in 2014, around 55 percent, a decisive 55 percent. and wanted to stay part of the united kingdom. the same in

canada survey show you know, about 55 percent in australia and elsewhere. but the home nations i think, will be the most pressing issue and a real challenge that i think the new king would like to, to, to confront head on that the wealth and the power of this, this country is because of this very union. and i think it's them almost sacred. so we're, the monarchy will be at the forefront of efforts to try and keep these them. these countries am tied together and, but there are strong ties and i think it's almost a wake up call. it's not so much an invitation for them to leave. they have to devolve parliament to more senates. they have 1st ministers, they have a lot of sign off on their own internal policies. for example, in scotland, however, the monarchy will need to, to look at this quite closely and your, your right to, to raise that m hash indefinitely medulla. oh, it was spar. we've spoken about the challenges. on the other hand,

when you look at king charles the 3rd as crown prince, who was known for his outspoken stances when it comes to that climate change, religious tolerance, diversity, and so on and so forth. do think that these issues could help him build bridge years with different parts of the world, the commonwealth and india in particular, because there was a name among many, many people all over the world. certainly certainly i think these are the same kind of within quote, non political issues where exactly and important for and i think that's one reason and just stayed on in the common read because the extent that any avenue is where countries work together in areas other than just straight geo products, well important to the common break can be a very important for them. a progressive for them for working on issues on we to

actually need internation properties and everybody knows that tammy change issue because one of the biggest issues before they just see what's happened in pakistan . i mean the flags, one of the bentley is on the fly. you know, south asia is actually reeling on the impact of climate team in an unbelievable bank. i think we would be more than happy in this part of the word for any initiatives and leadership, which makes people problems together and half strategies which actually work and get implemented. we would really, um, we could do with that cindy, the king charles, the 3rd his mother was chlorinated during the decline of the british empire. she passed away amid this uncertainty above the future of the okay . following briggs, it, do you think that in a way or another,

the future of the monarchy itself is the okay is going to be purely shaped by political and economic issues in the u. k. itself in the, in the long run. ashley, this is a very difficult question answer, but i don't think it's just going to be simply political and economic issues which will determine the future of the monarchy in the u. k. i think that as, as other speakers have said, there are strong ties of history with the for her nations, but also with the commonwealth. i think in a sense, as well, a monarchy that can modernize and can gain the goodwill and the support of young people in particular and younger generations by showing, as we saw with the funeral procession, the promise of, of the future. not just the current monarch but the future, the air to the throne and d, the next area, the threat with william and george. and i think also a monarchy that you know in the worlds of words of william and budget that 19th

century in a political, dearest right, english constitution. he talked about the magic at the dignified part of the constitution. anybody can give that this is where that sort of magic could keep the monica going. albert in a, in a ceremony, a way i think that celebrity now is sort of entwined into monarchy. you know, we see that, that the way that i think many people understood the right of elizabeth the 2nd not through history but through external programs like the crown on television. this in a sense, weirdly, i think, made offer hope for child mit it. people can continue to believe in the magic. ok, 01. you succeed. some one who has been there for 70 years has been larger. the life could chalk king charles the 3rd legacy u. b. just trying to maintain the same appeal. the monarchy has had during

quinn and as of, of the seconds that on its own was going to be widely seen as his biggest contribution. i mean the reality of this conversation hush him in longevity as in this has the one he has been in times like this before king george the queen victoria had a very long rain and the rain dr. them rain for particularly short periods is just the reality of, of life. i think though, the king has some very specific views which he will make known. for example, on the size of the family. the reality is this will be a caretaker, rain, and a filler between 2 other 2 other rain. that's simply the way that succession works . however, what i would add is that want to keep always has to detracted. but the real interest and the magic, you know, that would last mentioned is that your indo, i'm in london. our guests are in australia and in india, and were discussing a family in central london, this to me and the out pouring of condolences et cetera over the last few weeks

shows the enduring quality of this family, whether it's through celebrity, whether it's or it's political influence, whether it's through colonial legacy has a huge footprint. thank you. have on the world, and i think we've seen that, you know, just with the commonwealth on how to go and go and have join these. a french colonies that have joined the commonwealth, which i think is going to be the sign of the way forward. gentleman, ladies and gentlemen, really running out of time. i wish we had more time to continue our conversation about this interesting topic said, well, patsy. it turned on because he seemed mccreery, i really appreciate your insight. thank you. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website. i'll just do that dot com for further discussion because our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash ha inside. or you can also join the conversation on twitter. our 100 is us ha! inside probably from the show, my mother and the entire team here in the bye for now the
