-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com looking right now at buckingham palace. people, though fewer in number, are still showing up at this hour. the embodiment, as cnn's max foster put it earlier in the program, of a nation slightly loss after the passing of queen elizabeth ii earlier today in scotland. she was, as many have said, the only monarch most britons have known. and she may have been the first british monarch most britons have known in a familiar, more regal sense, the first to usher in the modern united kingdom. christian am pour said tonight from the grand britain of her early childhood to the great britain of today. it read, the queen died peacefully at balmoral this afternoon. the king and the queen consort will remain at balmoral this evening and will return
6:03 pm
tomorrow. we saw a demonstration of remarkable continuity of secession, people outside the palace singing the national anthem with "god save the queen" replaced from here to the end of charles iii's reign by "god save the king." ♪ god save the king ♪ ♪ victorious ♪ ♪ happy and glorious ♪ ♪ long to reign over us ♪ ♪ god save the king ♪ >> it was a seven-decade reign that ended today. and certainly this moment was long-anticipated and planned for certainly. but there is even a name for the procedures being followed, operation london bridge, which can certainly -- which can help
6:04 pm
ease the transition. but it cannot begin to acknowledge, let alone, 70 years of public service or 70 years of public affection. more on that now from cnn's max foster. >> reporter: britain's queen elizabeth ii, crowned at westminster abby on june 2, 1953. this was the first time the public was able to witness this sacrosanct moment. elizabeth had allowed television cameras in, a powerful symbol that was a new, open monarchy. born on april 21, 1926. it was only a decade that she knew she was truly destined to lead an empire. it was a fluke of history, a work of scandal. >> a few hours ago, i discharged
6:05 pm
my last duty as king and emperor. >> reporter: her uncle, edward, abdicated to marry the love of his life, an american divorce see, and spoiler to the thrown. she was the accidental heir, which entrenched in her a sense of duty. she was devout, almost spiritual about her duties as queen even before being crowned. >> i declare to you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and to the service of our great imperial family, to which we all belong. >> i seem to remember having listened to that speech and i remember very well -- i certainly remember reading not many years later the way she dedicated her life to the country. and that was an example which i very much felt that when i grew
6:06 pm
older, that was what it was about. you dedicate your life to your country. >> reporter: on november 20, 1947, she wed her childhood sweetheart, the tall and dashing prince philip of denmark, titled the duke of edinburgh. the following year, their marriage bore elizabeth's heir, prince charles. for more than half a century, the queen led her empire before overseeing its managed decline, as it became known as the commonwealth. an association of now independent countries. >> so, all came to receive her majesty -- >> reporter: her first prime minister was winston churchill. during her role, she met every aekting u.s. president, meetings that she always prioritized. >> she remembers learning from her parents how important keeping america on side was during the war. then america came into the war. she remembers that so well. she remembers, you know, the
6:07 pm
american troops, d-day, all that. to her, it's very -- it's a very important part of her growing up. >> whilst the british monarch has no political power, elizabeth wielded immense power as a figure head, as demonstrated in 2011, when she became the first monarch to visit neighboring ireland since its separation from the united kingdom. >> we can all see things which we would wish -- >> reporter: then prime minister david cameron described the trip as a game changer. a year later, the queen travelled to belfast in another significant moment of her reign, an historic handshake with former ira commander martin mcginnis, a public symbol of peace following decades of conflict in northern ireland. there was, nonetheless, a very private side to this wife, mother, and grandmother. stiff upper lipped in public and so guarded, there's little footage to show the sense of humor she's reputed to have
6:08 pm
displayed behind closed doors. on occasion, she did open up with uncharacteristic candor and emotion, the queen herself marked 1992 as a very bad year. >> it has turned out to be horrible. >> reporter: punctuated by several family splits and a fire at her beloved windsor castle. three of her four children would divorce, charles most famously. and then that crash. >> we are just getting word that the french government has informed all of us that princess diana has died. >> reporter: the royal family's restrained response collided with the british public convulsing in heartache. elizabeth learned a tough lesson through all of the grief. she wasn't merely a mother or a grandmother, rather a queen to a people no matter what. an enduring image, the queen
6:09 pm
bowing her head to princess diana's coffin, marking a sad period for the royal family, britain, and its relationship with the monarchy. over more than a decade, however, public faith in the royal family did rebuild. the queen was visibly thrilled by the show of support for the royal wedding between her grandson, william, and partner, kate, in 2011. then the following year, polls showed the british royal family at the height of their popularity, as the queen celebrated 60 years on the throne. she used her diamond jubilee to present a slimmed down monarchy. only the key royals paraded and waved, a sign of a more economic family for the 21st century. in later years, the queen welcomed several additions to the family, including prince george, her first great grandson and future heir to the throne, born in 2013 to the then duke and duchess of cambridge. reflecting the modern age,
6:10 pm
prince harry later married meghan markle. the royal family extending again to embrace an actress with african american ancestry. in time welcoming baby archie. prince philip retired from public duties in 2017. meanwhile, the queen continued. she gradually slowed her busy schedule, certainly in terms of travel. but in september 2015, whilst opening a new railway in scotland, without ceremony or commemorative fireworks, queen elizabeth ii passed her revered predecessor, victoria, to become britain's longest reigning monarch. controversy visited the monarchy again in 2019, as the queen's second son, prince andrew, gave an ill advised interview to the bbc amid allegations of sexual misconduct. any hopes for a quieter year ahead were dashed when harry and
6:11 pm
meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex, made a sharp announcement. giving up their public roles and duties, they moved to north america with a mission to become financially independent. crisis talks and another contentious interview soon followed. in 2021, at the age of 99, prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, passed away. senior royals attended the funal rah, scaled back due to coronavirus, to celebrate his seven decades of service and mourn the passing of a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. elizabeth stood alone, as she watched his coffin lower into the royal vault in windsor. bidding farewell to her husband of 73 years, the man she
6:12 pm
described as her strength and stay. she will be remembered as one of the great monarchs, able to hand a strengthened crown to her heir, despite reigning over a period of tumultuous change. >> and max foster joins us now from buckingham palace. and at number 10 downing street, matthew chance. max, the arrangements for when the queen dies have been in the works for decades and reworked. what happens next, and when do we expect her funeral to take place or to be announced? >> we think the funeral will be in just under two week's time. there is a plan in place. i've seen versions of it. it has to all be signed off by the king now and all of the intricacies will be played out over the next few days. it's a huge logistical operation. even around us there's all sorts of building work going on. so, each -- they're taking each day at a time, as it were. and they're confirming details,
6:13 pm
as they are able to confirm them. i expect prince charles, as he was, king charles and queen ka my camilla to come to london tomorrow, and there will be a pre-recorded address to the nation. imagine having to do that the day after your mother died. but tlaelly speaks to the fact that this isn't just a family. this is a national institution. and the king now has duties to his nation as well as to his family. and we're going to give a sense of what sort of monarchy he plans ahead as well. he redefined the role of prince of wales by professionalizing it effectively, working full time, incredibly hard. i have to say he's the hardest working royal. and i spent a lot of time with him. and he doesn't stop, works late into the night on his projects. he's going to have to leave all those projects behind and focus on being king now and focusing on all those duties which will
6:14 pm
take priority. we're going to see a different charles now, i think, someone who doesn't express his opinions and models himself on the queen, who so successfully made herself relevant to so many people by never dividing opinion, by never expressing emotion, and always putting the country first, duty first, something that's going to be incredibly hard for him to live up. >> matthew, we heard from britain's new prime minister, prime minister truss today. what did she say? >> well, i mean, it's a difficult situation that she's been put in. remember she's only been in the job for two days. and she was the -- effectively one of the last people to see queen elizabeth before she died. there is that incredible photograph of the two of them together, the last photograph that's been put out by buckingham palace of the queen swearing in her 15th prime minister. that was just back on tuesday.
6:15 pm
and so, yes, a difficult challenge for any prime minister, let alone one that's only been in the job for two days. but, you know, she made the start of it today. she came out here, 10 downing street, her official residence and office, made a very brief statement in tribute to the queen, talking about how she was an inspiration to her and to millions of people around the world. but also welcoming the new era, the end of the -- what she called -- the second elizabethan era and welcoming the new king charles iii. there is a plan, as max was saying, in place. it's been developed since the 1960s. so, that's one thing that is in the favor of this new prime minister. the plan is already made, with some changes that have to be adjusted, perhaps. but essentially she has to stand back and allow that to happen. and i guess the other thing in
6:16 pm
her favor is that, you know, one of the great legacies, i think, of queen elizabeth, is that the monarchy in this country is so strong. and it is not controversial at all that the succession should be automatic and that king charles iii, shyou know, shoulde the head of state of this country. and so that's -- it's not a constitutional crisis that is facing this prime minister. it's been a very smooth, automatic handover. >> and, max, the royal family, obviously on a personal level, there have been many divisions. there have been obviously the situation with harry, prince andrew as well. they are all still, as i understand it, gathered at balmoral tonight. is there any sense of will this somehow change the family dynamics? does this hold the possibility of somehow mending the rift
6:17 pm
between william and harry? >> i think it would be very heartening for her to see what happened today, to see prince william driving next to prince andrew and also followed up by prince harry coming later on, all the family being together. i mean, major rift to the family. and when you consider it's a family firm and william and charles have been making most of the decisions about, you know, effectively taking prince andrew out of the public light, for example, and the deal making which had to be done, frankly, when the sussex's left the united kingdom. what were the terms of that? that was very much led by prince william. i think there was tension between harry and charles. they seemed to smooth that over. they met up during the jubilee. harry didn't meet up with william, and there are still tensions between those two. if they can come through this, i think that would be a great tribute to the queen. we'll see how that plays out over the next ten-plus days
6:18 pm
because there will be a series of events involving the family. it's all laid out very carefully. and of course those tensions should not take away attention from what is the ultimate tribute to the queen, which is going to be over the next few days. and also looking ahead to the king's monarchy, focusing on him and helping build his foundations to a monarchy, which will take the united kingdom i don't know onwards for decades, potentially. we are going to see a slightly different monarchy in the sense that there's an awareness that charles isn't as popular as the queen or was prince william. i think you're going to see charles and camilla doing much more together. that's going to be the face of the monarchy going forward. >> joining us now, someone who has spent time with the royal family. jane fincher was a royal photographer for over 25 years. now the owner and editor of "the fincher files."
6:19 pm
jane, thanks for being with us. you were in a remarkable position to observe the royal family in ways the public would never be able to do. i understand it was queen elizabeth's sense of humor that really resonated with you. >> it did actually because she was really like a little girl a lot of the time. she could look very stern, and when she had a queen victoria face on, we photographed her. >> her queen victoria face? >> if she gave you that look, you just tried to disappear. but she had this amazing sense of humor that often you wouldn't see because, you know, on official duties, it's all very formal. but behind the scenes, she used to giggle a lot like a little girl. and her whole face would just light up when she saw something that was funny. and she had a very quite simple sense of humor where, you know,
6:20 pm
she was all aebt laughing at somebody tripping up or maybe slapstick humor or on official duty, something is going wrong, someone's hat blew off or whatever. it was quite funny, her sense of humor, and it was a pleasure to photograph her like that. >> you said some of your favorite parahotographs, can yo tell us about queen elizabeth and the queen mother kneeling in front of what looks like a fence. i'm not sure where this was. >> well, it was back in the mid-'70s when i first started taking pictures of the royal family as a young photographer. and it was pre the period of a lot of security coming. it was easy days, when you could virtually walk right up to the royal family. and that actually is the public directly behind them. it's just that little fence dividing the public. so, can you imagine that today? you wouldn't have that happen. and they were at a horse show, and they were watching -- this is where the sense of humor comes in. they were sitting on the ground by a water jump at the big lake,
6:21 pm
and lots of people kept falling off. and that was great entertainment to them. they loved it. they were sitting on the floor having a good old chat with mom and daughter. they were often sitting on the floor. it was just such an informal moment. >> that's interesting. zbll very rare moment, again, like that. >> there's also an amazing series of photos you took in 1982, taking part in the tribute of the color, the ceremony with prince philip, prince charles at her side, in pouring rain. can you just tell us about that day? >> well, i think she really loved the rain because some of the nicest pictures i ever got of her was in the rain. she was always smiling in the rain. i think that's why she loved balmoral so much because it's always wet and rainy up there. that particular day was the official ceremony of her birthday in june. but that's a zwrun day in london sometimes. and she came out of the palace on the horse ready to do the ceremony and the heavens opened. and she just sat there and got absolutely drenched. and it was just funny watching
6:22 pm
her face because it was going from sort of -- you know, it was a very comical face. and she just sat there. she looked like a drowned rat, but she just had to be like that. and she was like that for about two hours. >> were you absolutely drenched as well? >> re . >> i only got a few frames because my lens was so misty it was so wet. most of the frames were unusable. i love that picture. she just loved the rain. >> you're also well known for photographing princess diana. you were there from the beginning when she and prince charles got married in 1981. during that time, what did you observe of charles, and how do you think he will be as king? >> well, i actually knew charles from before diana came on the scene when he was a young bachelor about town. he in fact was one of my first subjects i photographed as a young photographer. and i needed something to
6:23 pm
practice on. i used to go and photograph him playing polo every weekend to practice using a camera. so, he was my pet subject. and he was charming. he was really charming to me. and i got lots of lovely pictures of him. and over the years we built a very good working relationship. and i travelled around the world with him. and he's a very -- he's a very gentle man, very concerned and very anxious about everything. and quite serious, you know, takes everything very seriously. but, again, has the sense of humor of his mother, has a great sense of humor of his mother. >> and he certainly has been preparing for this role his -- really his entire life. >> yeah, a long time. yes. probably a very frustrating long time for him, being in a bit of sort of limbo with it. but i think he'll get stuck into it now. and it will be quite hard for him actually because he's quite
6:24 pm
a headstrong person. he likes to follow his patterns. so, he's going to have to curb some of that now. it may be quite difficult for him. >> i understand you have two boys of your own named william and harry. was that a coincidence? >> well, actually, they are family names from my family and i like them. but of course everyone thinks that i've copied charles and diana, including diana who thought i copied her. >> she knew? >> yeah, she did. no matter how much i explained i didn't, nobody believes me. the funny thing is i also have a niece and a nephew called charles and elizabeth. >> well, jane, it's really a delight to talk to you. what a remarkable career to have spent so long seeing this family up close and through your lens. >> it was fascinating. >> yeah, it must have been. >> fascinating. >> thank you so much for being with us. i really appreciate it. >> that's all right. thank you. thank you very much. >> take care. much more on the remarkable span
6:25 pm

6:30 pm
invictus games? >> careful what you wish for. >> oh, really? please. >> from inviting television cameras to her coronation, to embracing the mic drop, it has been quite a span of history to be a part of. some other key moments. >> reporter: coming of age in world war ii with europe in ruins and her country nearly shattered, there was elizabeth, a princess just 21, with a birthday pledge for her had people. >> i declare before you all with my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to our service. >> reporter: on the throne, that patient promise, with the help of historic figures, such as winston churchill, helped her rebuild the nation, and would guide her through decades of turmoil. >> we could never forget those who have died and been injured and their families. >> reporter: the thorny issues
6:31 pm
of the faulklands war in the early 1980s, or seeing her own family on more recent battlefields, the queen has remained publicly and steadily committed to british allies. >> talk, we will. listen, we have to. disagree from time to time, we may. but united, we must always remain. >> reporter: over the many years, there have been stumbles. in 1966, a mining disaster in wales killed more than 100 school children and dozens of adults. the queen lingered more than a week before visiting, decades later saying that delay was her biggest regret. in 1992, royals scandals under the rapidly failing marriage of prince charles and princess diana, prompted the queen to uncharacteristically call it a horrible year. >> it turned out to be horribleness. >> reporter: but when diana died, the stoic queen returned
6:32 pm
to address the nation. >> she was an exceptional and gifted human being. in good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and love, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. >> reporter: economic troubles, political turmoil, accusations of racism within her family, even the global pandemic, she met it all the same way she met virtually every challenge of her 70-year reign. >> we should take comfort that while we have more still to endure, better days will return. we will be with our friends again. we will be with our families again. we will meet again. >> reporter: sometimes the queen's reserve struck people as being too old fashioned, too restrained for a modern, more demonstrative times. she put her faith clearly in that phrase from world war ii she grew up with, keep calm and carry on. anderson? >> thanks so much. a few publications have had as
6:33 pm
long and storied history covering the royal family than "vanity fair." it is extraordinary that we were talking about this right before you came on, that just how people kind of take for granted she's a woman monarch and has been there for 70 years. it's extraordinary. and it's to her credit that she has made it all seem so normal and easy. >> i think that's right. i mean, when you think about how young she was when she became queen, you know, she raised a young family in the public eye. she had to embrace wave after wave of new technology, starting with television, ending with social media. >> the decline of the british empire as well. >> the decolonization, and the shrinking of the british empire, all of these things that sort of happened on her watch. and throughout, here's this woman who very calmly is holding her own with winston churchill and 14 more prime ministers, you
6:34 pm
know, meeting with 13 of the u.s. presidents out of the 14 whose reign coincided with her own. and i feel like it's just interesting to think about seeing this woman in this position of influence and power all of this time. we're not going to see that again in the british monarchy for quite a while because charles is now king, and william will be king, and george will be king. and the queen, as that figure in the crowd wearing, you know, pastel green or pastel blue or dressing to be seen, dressing to be the sort of object of fascination that she knew she was, it had a very unique power to it. and we have known nothing but that. >> and the male-dominated society, as great britain was certainly when the queen ascended to the throne, i mean, she has -- she has lasted longer than any of them. >> right. exactly. you think about her cultural
6:35 pm
influence. she's on -- literally on the currency. but she's also on an andy warhol silk screen. she's the subject of shows and documentaries that are still drawing huge audiences. you know, people have been fascinated with her all this time. and i think part of it has been her ability to change. i mean, on the one hand, there's the criticism that she's too old fashioned. on the other hand, she's been doing her job publicly for 70 years. that is a long time to be in that kind of spotlight and to have to adjust and adapt. and she's learned from mistakes, which is so interesting. >> which is such an important thing, i think, that you're pointing out. she, you know, recalibrated after the mining disaster. she realized, this was a mistake, me not going there sooner. and certainly with princess diana, that was a tremendous mistake that she had made. >> right. and you sort of see them happening in real time, you know, some of them in our lifetimes, some of them not. but i think it's to her credit
6:36 pm
that she, you know, sometimes may be a little late. but she would acknowledge when she felt she had made a misstep and change. and i think that you see that not just in her role as queen but also in the sort of rest of the family the way that william and kate, for example, sort of have embraced a slightly more public life. >> do you think -- do you think with king charles, king william, when that time comes or whatever name he will use as king, i mean, can the monarchy have the same sort of -- can a monarch have the same distance that she had, given that, you know, we know lots more about prince charles or king charles now. we know more about william and his problems with harry and all of that. >> i think that is absolutely the question. and i think it was the question for her even in 1952 when she became queen. you know, she became queen at the time that television was
6:37 pm
ascendent. and there was this question, well, can you be a monarch if you're not sort of letting people in or broadcasting out. you know, her coronation, famously, was almost fully broadcast. and that was a great change. so, i think that that is exactly -- in a way, that question is traditional in itself, right? how does the monarchy have to continue to adapt if it is going to survive and threat. >> thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. just ahead, legendary pro golfer nick faldo became sir nick when he was knighted by the queen decades ago. he'll join us with those memories next. ph balancing minerals; and it helps eliminate odor, instead of jusust masking it. so pull it in close. secret works. what's the next chapter? that's the real question. with fidelity income planning, a dedicated advisor can help you grow and protect your wealth, even when you're not wking.

6:41 pm
last hour we spoke with one of the many notable celebrities who were fortunate enough to meet with queen elizabeth. katherine jenkins said it was an emotional highlight of her career she would always treasure. sir nick faldo was awarded a knighthood in 2009 after one of the greatest professional golf careers in british history. earlier this year he called it his proudest moment. sir nick faldo joins us nows. thanks so much for being with us. i'm sorry it's under these circumstances. can you walk us through that moment of being knighted by the queen. what is that like? >> it was one of the most wonderful days. i was very fortunate.
6:42 pm
it was windsor castle, so you can imagine the grandeur of that was incredible. you've got red carpets. you've got soldiers with old metal breast plates. and i have my children with me, and i was siphoned off to the queens and kings room. you walk into an enormous room and you've got 20-foot-high oil paintings of the queens and kings of the last 400 years. the uniform was perfection. they walked us through the ceremony, and i just loved how british it was. he said, you'll walk forward and you'll place your shoulder against gordon's chest. you'll walk forward, face her majesty, it will be gentlemen bow, lady courtesy. walk forward, take a knee. and we actually rehearsed kneeling because i looked at
6:43 pm
this stall. they were very good. he went through the whole procedure so fast, so rapidly, i thought, oh, my goodness. he did it deliberately. then he did it again in slow motion. i thought it was funny because i got to the kneeling stool and i looked at this, do i start left, right, left, right. you've got to put your left foot to the side first and place your knee. you don't want anybody, you know, going over and stomp. he winds you all up. and the thing i thought was so wonderful british. he says, you take a knee, and the sword will be placed on your right shoulder. nothing is said. then the sword is placed on your left shoulder, nothing is said. you'll stand to the side. her majesty will place the medal. nothing is said. she will then retrieve to disperse of the sword, and then you only speak when her majesty speaks. and then it's conversation,
6:44 pm

6:48 pm
be intrusive, that they would somehow violate the thousand-year tradition of the coronation. >> whilst the queen was a traditionalist, she was open to modernization. and in the end, it was her husband who convinced her to allow cameras into the ceremony. >> one of the great things about the queen was that she always had an open mind. if someone came to her with an argument that was very well buttressed, she would listen. and if it was a persuasive argument, she would change her mind. and that's what she did with the coronation. >> the day of the coronation, millions of people across the globe watched the sacred ceremony. >> that was the moment when the hull of the nation, the whole of
