6:01 pm
charles, who has spent his life preparing for this, addressing the nation for the first time as king. in a rare display of royal emotion, talking about his mother and what she meant to the country and her family. >> to my darling mama, as you begin your last great journey to join my dear late papa, i want simply to say this. thank you. thank you for your love and devotion to our family and to the family of nations you have served so diligently all these years. >> king charles -- yes king charles -- acknowledging how much the nation and the world have changed since his mother was crowned and the challenges he faces ahead in a britain that is very different from the one he was born in. he'll be officially proclaimed king in a matter of hours. charles also addressing his
6:02 pm
family, naming william and kate prince and princess of wales. kate taking on the title that her mother-in-law, diana, had and sending a message to harry and meghan. >> i want also to express my love for harry and meghan, as they continue to build their lives overseas. >> but you could really sum up today with a kiss, an anthem, and an address. a kiss from a woman in the crowd, as charles greeted his subjects outside buckingham palace, and an anthem that started in that crowd and ended at st. paul's cathedral. ♪ god save our gracious king ♪ ♪ long live our noble king ♪ ♪ god save the king ♪ ♪ god save our gracious king ♪
6:03 pm
♪ long live our noble king ♪ ♪ god save the king ♪ >> i'm outside buckingham palace tonight with cnn's richard quest and bonnie greer, the former deputy chair of the british museum. nic robertson will join us at balmoral castle in scotland. good evening to one and all. i'm going to start with you, richard. for the first time in 70 years, the king of england addresses the world. >> there were three bits to it. there was the tribute to his mother. there was his own personal pledge for life long service. and there was the housekeeping bit of tidying up the titles. but what was really important -- i think the most significant point to what he did today -- was he reaffirmed this idea of the a constitutional monarchy. in other words, people who were worried about him interfering
6:04 pm
with ministers and sending letters and wanting to be -- meddling, he said today, no. i know that my role is within the parliamentary democracy, my constitutional role. and that's why he also said, i will not be able to do as much with my charities and my issues. >> we're so used to saying prince charles. >> right, right. don't start me on that. i can't -- >> all our lives. >> and that's an important point because charles has been very much part of our lives like the queen was. it's not like a stranger has just walked in. >> yeah, calling charles because i've met him a couple times. and you can do that. but now you can't call him that. you can't. he's king charles. >> more from the king today, bonnie, and then we'll discuss. here it is. >> and wherever you may live in the united kingdom or in the realms and territories across the world and whatever may be your background or beliefs, i
6:05 pm
shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love, as i have throughout my life. >> bonnie, he has been working on this speech for years, really decades. how did he do? >> i don't think he has been working on it for decades. i disagree. i think this is absolutely of the moment. remember, this is his ascension. that means the death of a parent. this is a man we're watching being able to balance both of these at this moment and telling us he's going to do his duty. and i think he did this at the spur of the moment because you can't prepare. it was a very, very -- it was a very complex speech. on the surface, it looked very nice. but it was not. it was very complex. >> he was speaking to many different audiences. >> many. about five or six. >> they heard it too. >> what were they looking for. >> first of all, as richard brilliantly said, are you going
6:06 pm
to meddle or not. charles writes letters to people. so, he can't do that anymore. he said, don't worry, i'm not doing that. the other thing, he said, i'm going to have a coe -- i have people scream at me all day by saying this. william is my heir. i've given him the highest title i could give him, and i will do that in front of you people. and he did. he nominated him -- he announced him in front of the country. he said, this is my heir. this is the second boss. this guy is working with me. it's very strong. >> i want to go to cnn's nic robertson. king charles spoke about how the queen balanced her love of tradition and the balance of progress. do you think he's going to be able to strike that balance in this new era of the monarchy? >> people might have asked that about the queen when she came to the throne. and she came to the throne at a period when europe was in turmoil coming out of world war
6:07 pm
ii, where the british remnants of the empire were -- it was falling apart. countries were becoming independent, forming parts of the british empire. and she really kept the threads together through the commonwealth. and i think prince charles -- king charles, correct myself. how many times do i have to do this -- said that it is now a country during her reign that now has many, many cultures and many faiths, a country whose values stayed the same, but it has many cultures and many faiths. and i think he spoke to those profound and big changes that happened around but they didn't happen because of the queen, per se. but this was what was happening in the world around and the country around. and that shaped how the queen adjusted her reign and her view and how she moved with the country as it moved. and i think very much this is going to be what prince
6:08 pm
charles -- again, king charles -- is going to have to do. he will have to move with the times, with the world events that will shape the country and shape the feelings of the people. the world is going through some very profound changes at the moment. that period of stability that the queen's reign sort of watched over during that sort of post-world war ii period has changed. so, king charles is going to have a much more unpredictable period to reign over. >> yeah. many cultures and many faiths. richard was here earlier with christiane and max foster, and we talked about the diversity that must be addressed within the monarchy, especially as of late. >> yes, it has been sort of put on the agenda. and there have been a variety of commissions and internal working
6:09 pm
parties, which we never got the full details of. and there's been reporting, for example, bullying, which, again, we've got seen. but when you say, diversity, you need to be more precise about the -- you know -- >> it's a commonwealth of many backgrounds. >> correct. correct. but at the end of the day, you can't help the fact the family is who they are in that sense. so, when we talk about diversity, talk about diversity within the family, talking about diversity within the household, the whole area, where change needs to take place. but i pretty much guarantee that charles is absolutely the person to do that. >> and the commonwealth will change. people are going to -- countries are going to carry dependence because he's king of something like 14 nations. >> the realms. >> yeah, realms. they're going to declare independence. >> some might. >> some -- well, i say about three or four. and he's going to be the guy to let them do it. he's not going to have any problem. and he's going -- he's telling
6:10 pm
people now, this is going to go down, and this is the way i'm going to deal with it. and also, i just wanted to push back a little bit on what was said before. remember, this is a guy who talked to his plans and everybody was laughing. so, he's on the case. and i think now -- i think little kids are actually going to see what he's about more than us because the guy talks to his plans. he puts wine in his aston martins. he's a totally ecological person. but this is a divorced head of the church of england. that is unheard of. now, we can sit back in our age and go, oh, well, you know, that's cool. no, it is not the way it's supposed to be. so, charles is breaking all kinds of eggs here, and he's doing it very quietly. and people are waking up to the fact that he's already -- >> to put wine is one's aston martin though. >> the point -- really good example there of the marriage to
6:11 pm
camilla. >> yeah, and that was strategic, mentioning that she's been his wife for -- >> he told the nation. he didn't mention it. he told them, this is my beloved, and i have made her my queen consort. she will now be queen camilla, and you gonna like it. >> there was a moment of king charles greeting the people outside buckingham palace today. it feels like the british people want him to succeed. how does it hold on to all this good will, this moment where someone just planted a kiss on him. >> he was here. that's a royalist crowd, remember. these are the royalists. they love him. we have to see what the rest of the nation is going to say. >> there's a history of people kissing charles. in australia, the woman coming out of the search and kissing him. there's a lot of history about models kissing him. i think there's a huge ground
6:12 pm
swell of support. never mind what they think, what i think. i'm british. yes, we want to succeed. >> did you get a chance to speak to the crowd today? nic robertson? >> sorry, i didn't hear your question. >> i said, did you get a chance to speak to anyone in the crowd today, any of the public? >> oh, absolutely. we were taulking to people as te sun came up this morning, people going to work. what one might describe common ordinary folk, the working people of the town we were in, inverness. people who were repairing the roads, who were carrying trays of food to bakery shops, people who were opening those stores. everyone -- and remembering that i'm in scotland, a place where the scottish nationalist --
6:13 pm
scottish national party here -- is incredibly popular, runs the government here, is pushing to have another independence referendum, pushing hard, a big political fight that is taking on to do that. and i thought perhaps when i talked to people today i might here, you know, people who were against the monarchy, who want this independent scotland. and i'm sure some of those i talked to do want an independent scotland. but they were to a person, to a man and woman, in admiration of the queen and hoping that king charles can fill the very large shoes left by his mother. there's hope there. they genuinely feel an affection for the queen, and they genuinely hope that king charles can do a good job. so, from the people that i talked to today, there's a very real sense that this is a change, a time where there's going to be change that's
6:14 pm
inevitable, and hoping that the new king can do a good job. >> nic robertson at balmoral. thank you. much, much more from the coverage outside buckingham palace straight ahead so stay with us. ♪ hey, did i tell you i bought our car from carvana? yeah, ma. it was so easy. i found the perfect car under budget too! and i get seseven days to love t or my moneney back... i love it!

6:18 pm
we're back now at buckingham palace. king charles iii giving his first address as the monarch, as the uk undergoes a dramatic and historic tradition. questions loom over what is next for britain, with significant
6:19 pm
political and economic challenges on the horizon. joining us now, richard quest back with us, and timothy naftali. timothy, welcome to the program. there's a lot to talk about. queen elizabeth largelyi manage to stay above the political -- >> she did. she was the constant. that's the point. she was the constant. >> will he do the same? >> yes. he said he would today. he was clear, he said, i know my constitutional role in a parliamentary democracy. i think the issue is going to be the level of change. >> yeah. >> we're no longer in the european union. there's industrial strife at the moment in britain, inflation, higher fuel, all those things everyone else is suffering. but this level of change on top of that could -- not necessarily will -- but could make people feel, is nothing going well? >> listen, it's easy for him to say. but when you're passionate about issues, it's tough sometimes not
6:20 pm
to comment on them. especially passionate about the environment, about global warming, inorganic foods. >> no, that's not the job anymore. the queen never an interview in 70 years. charles has given lots of interviews. i've interviewed him. is that going to continue? he cannot -- don, he cannot put himself on side or other of certain issues because that's going to put him in the middle of political controversy. and the moment you do that, you start playing jenga with the british constitution. >> timothy, how realistic is that for him? do you think richard is correct about that? >> well, richard is absolutely correct. it goes back to a british analyst and writer called walter badge et. it's the secret of the british monarchy, the mystery of the monarchy, is that it is an institution that is unchanging. and so the personality of the monarch is not supposed to affect the institution. the institution comes first.
6:21 pm
we heard in charles' speech today, he actually signalled the fact that his duties have changed. and he talked about his charities and his issues that he cared about. and he mentioned that others will continue. don't worry, they're in good hands. i think that was his way of signaling, i'm not going to be an advocate for climate change the way i used to be. you know how i feel, but others must carry that forward because it's no longer my job as the sovereign. he's signalled the fact that he recognizes his own job has changed dramatically with the death of his mother. >> speaking of changing dramatically, the newly minted british prime minister liz truss met queen elizabeth just hours after taking office. and now she's met with the new king. that is a tremendous leadership role in just a span of days. >> to follow on from what walter
6:22 pm
was saying, crucially, walter said, the monarch, king charles, has three rights, the right to advise, the right to consult, and the right to warn. so, there are the three rights of the king that's now being put n. so, those three things must be done in private. they must be done -- no one knows what the king thinks. no one knows what he said to somebody in a private conversation. that is the bedrock upon which this thing works. >> these two are bound together by history and by the circumstances, timothy. i mean, both of them basically assuming their roles within days of each other. >> well, look, obviously i'm not a doctor, but i have to believe that queen elizabeth understood her last duty to the nation was to get great britain through its constitutional crisis this summer. and it's a mark of her devotion and discipline that she lived
6:23 pm
long enough to have -- i believe the term -- richard would know better, but i believe the term is the kissing of hands, that she lived long enough to ensure the succession and the start of the new truss government. i think that was very important for the country. and you just have to admire the queen, who clearly wasn't well, for living through that. so, the transition happened, which was necessary for the country. and it's now up to liz truss to define the government. because as richard said, the monarch doesn't define the government. the new government, the truss government, is going to write all of the speeches for king charles. whatever words king charles speaks will have been written by liz truss' team and the prime minister to some extent. so, right now we will have a chance to see how liz truss wants to shape the monarchy and how she wants to shape leadership for britain.

as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too now solemnly pledge myself throughout the remaining time god grants me to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. >> in his first address to the united kingdom as its new monarch, king charles iii vowing to follow in queen elizabeth's
6:29 pm
footsteps and to serve his people with loyalty, respect, and love, but recognizing the gravity of the royal transition. charles was overheard telling britain's prime minister liz truss today that he had been dreading his mother's dead. joining me now is india hicks, the god daughter, also the ambassador to the prince's trust and the executive board member of the global empowerment mission. thank you so much. we appreciate you joining us tonight. so many people feel they've lost a member of their very own family. what is it like for you to lose a figure that is such a big part of your life? >> well, i think like the rest of great britain, the commonwealth, and much of the world, it seems incomprehensible that our sovereign has died. i think for many, we thought she was invincible. she was such a beacon of strength and stability, that
6:30 pm
it's staggered. but i think we did see today, just as you've been discussing, the prince of wales , now king charles confirming and telling us and reassuring us that he will become that beacon of strength and stability himself now. he will be the calm and the composed face of the nation. and i think we've been seeing that several years, that the firm have been really marketing and branding that fore, that solid foreof charles and camilla and charles and william. i think, yes, there's going to be great change, and yes, there will be anxiety, as change always bring, but we have a very solid team coming in place. >> well, talk to me about what more we can expect from king charles iii because today was supposed to be about celebrating the sovereign as well. but what more can we expect from him?
6:31 pm
>> i think we've seen -- well, we've seen that he's been the longest-serving heir apparent. he's had that role since he was three years old. and we've watched, with intrigue, a life of duty. and we've seen its been under scrutiny, and there's been some expectation for how he'll take over this role, much expectation. and we've seen a man who is very deep thinking. he did things way before any of us were the way, the way that he started the prince's trust back in 1974, that he was thinking in a ways that others weren't. he was thinking, goodness, the man's talking to his plants. he was actually thinking in a very green, sustainable way. and now we will see that he takes this on with him in his role as our king. i've been an ambassador for the prince's trust now for several
6:32 pm
years, and it's an extraordinary foundation that does an enormous amount of good but in a very quiet way. prince charles set this up so long ago, understanding the need that there are so many marginalized by society. he placed a foundation that was going to work towards gathering those who couldn't give themselves the lives many of us are able to have. the foundation is huge. it launched in america a couple of months ago with a big event in new york, raising awareness and much-needed funds. so, i think there is a very strong foundation for what he understands to be the needs of the world essentially. >> india, i remember you were one of princess diana's bride's maids. tell us about growing up in these circles. >> well, prince charles, now king charles, was an exceptional god father in the fact that he
6:33 pm
has many god children. i was probably fatherly early. but he does have a lot of god children. and again, just an example of the way he thinks differently and he thinks con schenn shlly and sustainably. and the fact that every year as a christmas gift i would get a piece of china, which of course at the time didn't make great sense. there would be a gravy dish or perhaps a saucer or a cup. now, as an adult, there is an incredible set of dining china that i have for about 20 people, which couldn't be a better gift, instead of some toy that i would no longer have or appreciate. i have an entire set of china. and i think that that is just another example of the way that he thinks. you know, they are a family that we know have an enormous amount of kindness. the queen really, really demonstrated that in a great many ways after the bomb that killed my grandfather. it was devastating for her.
6:34 pm
prince charles especially was very close to him. and the queen also was so deeply shocked by it that she took special care to make sure that my mother very much had the support that she might have needed. and indeed my cousin, who lost his twin, she was very caring. she took him to balmoral and spent time with him after while both his parents were in hospital. we've seen examples of their incredible kindness. it's very hard for the royal family to let people in essentially because their role is to be so aloof. and as we were saying, not to give interviews. of course charles has given intervows over the years, and we need that. but we know that role is going to change. i don't think that will change his sense of duty or humor in any way. the queen always demonstrated a great sense of humor. my mother was a lady in waiting on two commonwealth tours. and she reminded me recently of one when they were out close to australia and she had an afternoon off after quite a
6:35 pm
grueling tour. can you imagine how much hand waving they went through on those tours. they had one afternoon off, and they are on a deserted beach looking at wild life. and a group of tourists happened to come onto the beach. and there was very little security around. there was really just the queen and my mother and one police officer. and the tourists came over and said, my, god, have you seen the queen. have you heard she's been here. she said, yes, she went that direction. and the tourists took off running. she did a twinkle in her eye. charles also has an enormous amount of wit about him. and it's really fascinating. >> as you're telling these stories, saying it's hard for them to let people in as the royal family. you are the king's goddaughter. what can you share with us about his personality and character that we might not know just from the public eye? >> i think people underestimate
6:36 pm
how fit king charles is. he spends a great deal of time, as much as he possibly can in his free time -- he's a very good artist. he's wonderful. so, there are many sides of him that we don't often get to see. but also, you know, he has done these extraordinary things of setting in place not only these foundations and really a platform for being able to do good and give back. but if you look at just high grove as an example, that garden at highgrove is really, really kp exceptional and the thought he's put into it and the care and attention. and i think there are so many levels to this king that nobody has really had time to consider how that will carry on now in his role. but i think -- i think he's had enough time to get it right. the words we heard today were
6:37 pm
very powerful. the delivery was very powerful. the message was very powerful. i think during this time of instability, we will see a very hands-on king. just today when they arrived at the gates of buckingham palace to see him and camilla get out of the car and go and shake the hands and to look at all the messages and the flowers laid at the gates. you know, this is a terribly difficult time for them. they are in mourning and yet they have to be the face of the nation. >> india, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> the nation singing "god save the king" to the new king, charles iii today. but what's it like to have sung directly to the queen? my next guest knows, and she's going to tell us about it right after this.

♪ god save the king ♪ ♪ long live our noble king ♪ well that was the first rendition of "god save the king" since charles became king. the national anthem for 70 years was "god save the queen." lesley garrett first performed the anthem for the late queen about 30 years ago, and garrett went on to sing it for queen many, many times since then. lesley garrett joins me now. how are you? >> very sad. p >> you've been in the presence of the royals for a while, and you said, this is mourning
6:43 pm
attire in some -- >> i was worried you would think it was disrespectful. but white is the color of mourning in many of the commonwealth countries, particularly the eastern asian countries. i thought i would wear white rather than black tonight. >> the queen commented on your wardrobe before, but we'll talk about that. the last traditional performance for the queen, yours was in 2017 at the festival of remembrance. this is some of it. here it is. ♪ [ applause ]
6:44 pm
>> just brilliant. this must be an emotional time for you. you sang it so many times over 30 years. what's that like? >> i've sang for the queen many, many times. that particular occasion, we also went on to sing "god save the queen" after it. it was a very special service we hold in remembrance of those that fell in the two great wars. and the queen comes every year to that service. and that year i sang for her, as i have done before. and it was extraordinary. the atmosphere was wonderful. they were building a thing called a drum altar during the singing, chas an altar made on the battlefield out of drums. and they erect it very slowly through the music and at the end it's there for all to see.
6:45 pm
>> do you get nervous performing? >> oh, yes. it's the queen. of course, i did. >> but you never missed a step, did you? at one point you were performing, she commented on your wardrobe. she was so moved. you said, she even shed a tear once when you were performing. and then she commented on your wardrobe. >> yes. they were two separate events. when we had the wonderful golden jubilee, i sang for her three times in one day up in my home county. the earl, her cousin, was a friend and mentor of mine. and we would come and perform. we had lunch and a concert in the afternoon. i wore three different outfits for each part of the day. and at the end -- this is so typical. she was very, very funny, the queen. she said to me, oh, hello again,
6:46 pm
leslie, how very nice to see you again. twinkling all the time. she said, i must say, my dear, you do have a whether large wardrobe. but it was on the tip of my tongue, well, you can talk, love. but i just held my tongue. >> you're so used to singing "god save the queen," you won't have trouble singing "god save the king" will you? >> no because king charles is a marvelous, marvelous man. i've seen him many times, met him many times, and he's thoughtful and kind, as his mother was. and i don't think -- he's been -- it's been the longest apprenticeship in the world for this job. and he knows absolutely inside and out what is expected of him, what royalty stands for, what the king stands for, the continuity of dedication to the country and how important that is to all of us.
6:47 pm
it binds us together. it's difficult when you come from a republic i think to understand just how important royalty is to our sense of belonging. because of the history stretching back 1,000 years, it makes us feel -- it makes us feel con ifident. it makes us feel strong. and that's what royalty, and particularly the queen of king of the day epitomizes. and he knows that and he will there for us for always. he's a strong man. >> thank you so much. just lovely to meet you. so talented. thank you so much. >> very kind. and just in, we've got news on the special master. our reporters and experts are reading in on it and we'll give you the details when we come right back. new astepro allergy. now available without a prescription. astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free spray. while other allergy sprays take hours

this just into cnn, the filings from doj and the trump lawyers end with proposals on how the special master should proceed and comes just a few
6:52 pm
short hours before the midnight deadline. so here to help us sort through all of this is our senior legal analyst here at cnn, former federal prosecutor laura coates. this comes a day after the doj appealed the special master decision. what are you looking for now, and what are you seeing in these filings? >> there's some really interesting points here, don. on the one hand of course they had to agree. they had to come together to the court and say here's where we agree, here's where we disagree. on what they agree interestingly enough they want to reduce the review period to 21 days. they both want it to be less than a three-week review period. probably feasible to do so given you have this breadth of documents on the one hand already reviewed by doj. where they disagree, don, is that presidential records act, which is a very important point. remember up until the nixon era
6:53 pm
you had this default option that said, listen, the president all that they have it belongs to the president of the united states. they carry it with them wherever they like. following nixon, of course, you had the presidential record that potentially said, listen, all those documents belong to the people of the united states and must be safeguarded accordingly aside from the truly personal a medical record, for example, a tiry, the truly personal. they say the government essentially believes that the records act means that the president, only the current president has it and the former one has no rights to have these documents any longer. the trump team is saying we disagree. the fact he is formerly the president of united states unlike the executive branch in the doj it gives him the right to access these documents. why that's important here is they want to agree to have these documents shown to the former president and a legal team who they could have additional staff with the judge as well to review documents of classification.
6:54 pm
why this is important of course, don, is because you are still seeing a fundamental doubling down on the notiontha that the former president should some way access these documents. and it leaves a question in the eethers for everybody. why is the former president so intent and so steadfastly intending to have these documents and have them returned to him including documents that are classified? now, doj has already said, listen, your personal data, your personal information, anything commingled with these documents they are able to go back to you, of course, and things that are unclassified can go as well. >> standby, laura. i want to bring in our senior justice correspondent evan perez. he's here as well. you've been scanning through this for us, and we've only had it for a few minutes here. what sticks out to you? what are you seeing? >> well, the key parts of this
6:55 pm
obviously there are four names, two on each side and the special master. but i'll skip ahead to the parts the two sides are in clear disagreement on what exactly the special master is going to do. the headline part of this is that the government believes that the special master should not be able to look at classified documents, should not be able to decide what is executive privilege or is not, right? that, of course, is something that trump's legal team believes is very, very key. they want the special master be able to look at all of the documents. another key point of this agreement is that the government is setting a deadline of about five weeks for the special master to conduct this review of over 1,000 pages of documents. the trump team says they want three months. they believe that this could take about three months. again, pushing the deadline out from the trump team's side. the other thing that, you know, both sides are also disagreeing
6:56 pm
on is the trump team says the two sides should split the cost of this review by a special master. the government says, no, trump asked for the special master so they should bear the cost. so that's where we have some of the major pieces of this agreement. i'll give you the names of a cup of these people. some of them are not going to be household names, but barbara jones who is one of the government's suggestions for a special master, she is the special master who's been reviewing the items that were seized from rudy giuliani's law office as part of another investigation in the southern district of new york. she did the special master review in the michael cohen case. the government also suggests thomas griffith who is a retired judge from the appeals court in the d.c. circuit. on the trump side they're suggesting ramon deery who's a former chief judge in the eastern district of new york and paul huck jr., he is a former
6:57 pm
partner of jones day. jones day was a law firm that represented trump in 2016, the trump campaign in 2016. he's married to barbara who made one of trump's short list for supreme court nominees. so there's obviously some very, very big differences between these nominees for the two sides. the judge is going to end up having to make the decision, don, over who is going to end up doing this review. keep this aside, though, right, there's a total other fight going on. the justice department wants this judge, judge conor, to put aside her order so that they can continue doing this investigation, this criminal investigation. they want to make sure that the fbi can keep looking at 100 pages of classified documents and make sure the intelligence community can continue doing their work. that is something separate that is going to continue -- they're going to continue fighting over
6:58 pm
meanwhile they try to get this special master up and going. >> yeah. we're going to talk about this in just moments at the top of the hour so i want both of you to stay with us. much more on both of our top stories. the fight over the mar-a-lago docs moves to a new stage. and we're outside the buckingham papalace as well as charles becomes king. more in a moment.
