good morning, everyone. it is saturday, september 10th, i'm am rewalker. >> good morning, i'm boris sanchez, you are live in the cnn "newsroom." we're grateful to have you this weekend and we have been watching history this morning. the end of a long historic era

in great britain and the start of a new reign, charles iii has been proclaimed king. >> it's pomp and ceremony in the uk but now this hour business. the new monarch is at buckingham palace carrying out duties as king. and any minute he's expected to meet with the new prime minister, liz truss, it's a meeting if tradition continues will now happen weekly. >> let's take tyou to london no richard quest and ana stewart outside buckingham palace. this is the same king and in the same week a new prime minister. >> yes, that is the extraordinary part. good morning to you from london. a beautiful late summer, early autumn day, where the sun is absolutely shining. and the way in which the day has progressed, it has been one of

great solemnity as the proclamation for king charles iii, the formal part, if you will, was read out at st. james' palace. events we have never seen before. events that have always taken place with the transition of monarchy, but we've never been witnessed or privilege. anna stuart is with me. let's go through the morning's events. charles was proclaimed king officially by this strange thing as the accession council. >> you don't get more ceremonial and archaic than that it's the first time we've seen it. this is nearly as ancient as the monarchy itself. >> when he's proclaimed and everybody signs on, the proclamation was sent to the city of london where it's done and also going to the national capitals -- >> the four nations where we

hope and expect to see king charles in the coming days to see his kingdom, the four nations. that's why it's proclaimed in that fashion. >> why do we still bother with it? >> it's still traditional. there's something beautiful ant the ceremonial traditions of the monarchy. some things evolve with time, some don't. that is one of the oxymorons of the royal family we cover all the time. it's part of the tradition, continuity, and reminder this isn't just a celebrity. this is someone appointed by god. >> and they have a role to play as a constitutional monarch within the united kingdom. if you look behind me, you can see i'm really quite -- surprised is the wrong word, amazed at the numbers gathering here at buckingham palace. by the thousands. people are lining up right there and heading down, what are they doing? >> tens of thousands of people

have been gathering to the point it's hard to move anywhere around here. some people just here for a moment's reflection, hoping to see part of the ceremony as we've seen today. people saw king charles on the way back from the proclamation, huge cheers richard. if you go down there to the flower garden where the tributes are heading, a lot of tears. this is what's so bitter tweet and beautiful about this. it is cheers, it is tears, it is as you said earlier, god save the queen and long live the king. you are having both sides of this incredibly emotionally complex transitional week. >> and that is seen perfectly in the next development that we have got. on the one hand you have -- when i say a celebration, i don't mean a happy joyous moment but a celebration of a shift in monarchy to a new reign, the reign of king charles iii. the other side of the coin that you're talking about, moments ago, members of the royal family

attended a private church service near balmoral in scotland. that's where the queen passed away of course. the family stopped to look at the flowers left by mourners when you see the pictures you can see princess ann, you can see the members of the royal family there were there, princess ann, the earl of wessex, prince edward. that's the princess royal. here you can see. and that is the earl of wessex, the youngest son of the queen. >> i think we can see princess beatrice there lining up. this is such a private moment for the family. and you have to remember, it's been a long time since we've seen the death of a monarch, how important it is for them to have this time.

>> isa is in balmoral. what was it like there? >> good afternoon, richard. i think the scene is different from the picture that you and anna are painting where you are. the scenes of pomp, jubilation, very different much more come ber we saw the family going to a private service in a church nearby, a church the queen went often, she was part of the congregation. they were there about 15, 20 minutes or so. then the return. parked their cars and like you and anna were discussing, looked at the tributes and bouquets that have been left there as people pay respects to a queen, to a monarch and a matriarch. there was a moment i would like to point out to our viewers we saw princess eugenie, she cleaned her eye and then prince andrew put his arm around her, embraced her. this is worth reminding viewers,

this is a family very much grieving and while, of course, we are celebrating the new king, king charles iii, this family is still mourning. and worth reminding viewers that the mood here has been incredibly somber as we expect, obviously, the queen to then make her way to edinburgh, that's expected to happen tomorrow, richard. >> we're looking at pictures of prince andrew there. of course he is also very much part of this because of his -- one of the queen's sons. let's talk about tomorrow. the queen's body remains at balmoral. it has to go to edinburgh, and eventually it needs to return here to london. do we have any further details? >> reporter: we don't have the firm details, let's say, of the planning. we're expecting to find out the more fine tuning details later

on today. what we do know is that the queen will leave -- the coffin will leave balmoral, of course, the residence that's been her home, her summer residence for so long, of course, even in the time of her grandmother. she will leave balmoral here and travel to edinburgh. normally that journey takes three hours. we've been told by some of our sources that might take longer because they want to go slower to gave people along the route time to pause, bow their heads and pay tributes to the monarch. once she gets to edinburgh they'll make their way to the royal household for the monarch in scotland here. and then we will expect to see whether that's tomorrow evening or the following day, perhaps monday, we could be seeing then really a procession of the

coffin, of the queen, making her way to st. giles cathedral where we may expect a service, richard, before finally making her way to london, richard. >> so we'll follow those events as they go through, isa, at balmoral who will watch over as things continue. buckingham palace is the office, if you like. buckingham palace is where the queen's headquarters were, balmoral was her favorite home. she loved her summer long vacation. windsor castle is where she lived, especially the last five to ten years of her life. most of the time was spend at windsor with its large grounds, horses, and prifvacy, the crowd are gathering there to pay their respects. windsor will be the final resting place.

it's also the new home of the prince and princess of wales. and it is integral, in a sense, to the next few days. >> that's right. it was definitely the queen's preferred home, richard. and it is also the place where just in the past couple of weeks, prince william, now the prince of wales, and katherine, that's where they moved their family. a large estate grounds of the castle, a lot of privacy, places to be. their home on the castle grounds is only about 600 yards or so away from harry and meghan's home in the uk where it's possible they may be staying while they're here. we've seen a lot of people come to windsor to pay their respects to queen elizabeth ii over the past couple of days but we haven't seen it like this. this is the first day that we've had since her passing that it's been a weekend. now you have the confluence of a royal event here and also an

orderly queue, which british people like to do. let me show you that orderly queue, it goes at least one block down. i've been asking people about what they thought about king charles iii's speech yesterday and his speech today. and the word that i keep hearing over and over again is re reassuring. it will go a long way to reassure people the monarchy is in good hands. they recognize king charles has his share of challenges but think hae he's doing well. let me ask this woman here, you're live on cnn. why did you decide to come here today? >> i've loved the queen. so i wanted to come and lay some flowers. >> reporter: let me try to grab somebody else here quick. just wondering what you thought of king charles' speech yesterday and today. >> it was good. i saw bits and clips of it.

>> very moving and genuine. >> reporter: did anything stand out to you? >> just how similar he is to his mother in terms of the duty, he's going to give to our country. >> thank you. >> reporter: a lot of other people have mentioned, richard, they appreciated that harry and meghan were mentioned by name in this, sort of maybe an olive branch to them as they embark on their new lives in the united states. obviously there's a fracture in the relationship there. and several people have said this event of the queen's death, perhaps, they're hoping, maybe this might be the miracle that the family needs to spark some kind of reconciliation between prince william and his brother, harry. richard. >> scott mclain at windsor. anna, you were just commenting? >> if we think about the next few days, when the queen's body leaves balmoral, it leads the family. i think it's a special moment

and thinking about prince charles leaving, arriving in london, and it's a memory of the queen doing that when she landed in kenya, on the news her father had died, suddenly leaving their private grief behind and moving into the public. >> we've seen it in spades today. the private grief of some of the younger members of the royal family as they look at flowers outside balmoral and the public face as charles begins with the royal proclamation, gathering up the reigns of his royal kingdom. we'll have more not just from the united kingdom. we'll go to the realms, canada for instance, so the different governments pledge their oaths and allegiances to king charles iii. this is cnn. so no more nudging your partnerer. or opting for the couch. because the tempmpur-ergo smart base is our first system that detects snoring and auautomatically adjusts to help reduce it.

around king charles the way they did with queen elizabeth? >> well, it's fascinating, isn't it? because we really heard king charles give such tribute to his mother in his address to the nation last night in which he talked about his beloved mama her life of service and do so this morning in his accession speech and really made it clear that she's the guiding light he's going to put forward in the monarchy as he becomes king. and that i think is very reassuring to people. there have been concerns here that charles -- she's such a popular queen, that charles is opinion opinionated, he made it clear in his speech that he's going to go with duty like his mother. he's never had high ratings, 50%, and crowds were out cheering and waiting. i'm not saying there's not going

to be a honeymoon period, see how he does but at the moment i think there's a lot of support and sympathy for him. >> carolyn, the king had a lot of time to prepare for this. he was prince of wales for 60 plus years. i heard it described as the longest apprenticeship in history. how do those decades prepare him for this role? >> well, he has a very strong relationship with the commonwealth realms when he was and in secondary school he did an exchange term in australia. he first visited canada in 1970. so we've noticed in all of the new king's speeches, he's been emphasizing that he's not only king of the united kingdom but the commonwealth realms of the overseas territories. so he's had decades to establish this relationship with the various commonwealth realms. for queen elizabeth ii she came

to the throne at the age of just 25. so she made one visit to canada in 1951 and she would visit australia, new zealand, after her coronation. but the new king has had decades to establish that -- those very strong commonwealth ties. >> yeah, and kate, you know, right now we should mention, right, it's a time of transition for the uk as just a few days ago, they welcomed a new prime minister, but also it's a time of turmoil. i mean, economically things aren't doing so well. inflation is extremely high. energy prices have skyrocketed. how do you expect king charles to navigate this as he steps -- has stepped into this role? >> yes, good question. when charles gave his speech to the privy council this morning he said it's a heavy task he has. and that's true. and you say just a new prime minister, just a few days ago, the queen's last act was to

welcome the new prime minister, incredible the last act she did before she did die just two days later. and we were, just before the sad death of the queen, we were all caught up in the news of the energy crisis we're having here, massive inflation and talk this winter is going to be hard for many families who won't be able to heat their homes and this is a crisis charles is pitched into, the war in ukraine, the energy crisis, inflation, and how is he going to empathize, a man who lives in a palace with a thousand rooms, with the common. the commonwealth is so important to the family and the commonwealth is in transition. many countries have said they would keep the queen as head of state when she was alive, when we on no longer have the queen they'll address the request of being republics. they've all talked about this and there's movements strengthening in all commonwealth countries and i see

we're going to see a transition in the commonwealth itself because although the queen wants it to be a unity of friendship, for many there's still a stain of empire there. so charles has to oversea that change and he has a lot on his plate. >> carolyn, as kate outlined the global issues the uk is sorting through, views on the monarchy have shifted over the past few years so how does a new king navigate all of that? >> it will be a complicated process because the late queen elizabeth ii had a great deal of personal popularity, even with people in the commonwealth who didn't necessarily support constitutional monarchy as a system of government. there was a lot of respect for the queen's decades of public service, her service in the a

auxillary service in the war, so it will be interesting to see how attitudes towards the monarchy shift. we have seen as prince of wales that prince charles, now the king, had some successful recent tours. he visited canada with camilla in may to mark the platinum jubilee and emphasized his role in canada was to listen to canadians, particularly indigenous canadians and to take in their concerns. so i think that's going to set the tone for his role as king. he's going to emphasize listening to people around the world from all walks of life. and being a unifying figure above party politics. >> kate williams, carol yn harrs we appreciate you being with us to mark this new chapter in the united kingdom. thank you for being with us.

the show down is intensifying between the justice department and former president trump's legal team. in a late friday filing both sides clashing over how to move forward with the special master review of the seized documents

from mar-a-lago. from who the special master should be down to who should pay the bill for that person's time. >> now it's on a judge to decide. let's get some legal expertise now with constitutional law attorney page pate. good morning, always appreciate you sharing your insight with us. a lot of disagreements between team trump and the doj. the fight over executive privilege, who's going to pay for it, when it's going to get done. what were your impressions of last night's filing. >> i'm not at all surprised that we see some disagreement here. obviously the government is still upset that there's a special master that was appointed to begin with. both sides have submitted qualified people to serve as a special master. the real disagreement is what is this special master supposed to do, review everything like the

trump team wants, or his review going to be restricted to just potential attorney/client privilege material, stay away from the classified material, it doesn't belong to trump. stay away from any claims of executive privilege, it's not trump's to make. so what the special master will do i think will be the focus of the judge's continued analysis of how this process is going to work. >> and also disagreeing over how long the process should take. doj wants it finished by mid october. trump's team wants 90 days. what's the advantage of having a longer time frame to play with? >> it depends on what the special master is going to do. i think the government would probably agree that if the special master is actually going to review everything, like trump wants, then it's going to take more time. but if that review is just limited to the potential attorney/client privilege documents it only needs to take a few weeks. so i think the time issue will

be decided by the judge's ruling on what the special master will actually do. >> i've been curiously watching how the trump team is approaching the description that they used to talk about these classified documents. at one point they put out that trump had a standing policy that everything he removed from the oval office was automatically declassified. in the filing yesterday the trump team said the justice department has wrongly assumed that documents are classified forever if they have classification markings. i'm wondering what your perspective on all of that is. >> boris, that's a great point. i think the trump team has been very careful not to make the legal argument in court that he declassified everything. that's a ridiculous, frivolous argument, they're not going to make that in court. but they want to preserve the right, potentially, to argue later that look, these aren't as classified as the government is saying that they are. and once they're marked

classified, doesn't mean they stay classified forever. so they're trying to have their cake and eat it too. they want to preserve this argument but they don't want to come right out and try to make that argument because i think the judge would not accept it. >> no surprise the doj appealing this decision. how do you see this playing out? >> i think the government has a very strong position that a special master, while certainly can review potential claims of attorney/client privilege should not be able to review the classified documents. clearly those documents, if they're classified, never belonged to trump, there's no issue about that being some sort of attorney/client issues, those weren't documents he sent to his lawyer, they weren't consultations about legal advice in there. so the justice department says, look, we can go along perhaps with the special master looking at the attorney/client privilege issue. stay away from the classified documents. i think they have a good position there because we don't

have any precedent for that happening in another case. >> if we take a step back, we should point out that the doj is appealing the special master decision. is there a scenario in which you see that potentially getting overturned? >> yes. there is. or at least limited to what the justice department really wants and that's to have the special master stay away from the classified material, and also have the special master not engage in some sort of analysis of this executive privilege argument that the government doesn't even believe is possible. so the government has appealed the entire order but it's basically also asking the judge while that appeal is pending, don't make us do everything you said you wanted us to do. we'll go ahead with the attorney/client privilege issue basically the way we proposed but we do not want to stop our analysis of these classified documents and we don't want the special master looking at them.

new crepe corrector lotion only from gold bond. champion your skin. and a warm welcome back to london and to buckingham palace. a busy day it has been. we keep talking about the two sides of the same coin, the somber as we say good-bye to queen elizabeth ii, and if you will, the excitement and celebration of the start of a new reign. the reign of king charles iii. and that is already under way this morning. there was the proclamation here in london that came from the privy council and it was a proclamation that was read in the city of london, it will also now be read in scotland, wales,

and northern ireland. and then the king came down the mile, first time we've seen him today, around behind me and back into buckingham palace. and in the palace now, that is where he is holding meetings with the british cabinet, the uk cabinet, they will be swearing their oaths of allegiance to them and he has met the archbishop of canterbury. that proclamation, of course it will be in the national countries of the united kingdom. but it also needs to be read in the 14 realms where the queen is still head of state. canada is one of the most important and prominent. so reading of the proclamation had to take place there. paula newton is in the canadian capital, ottawa. and canada, in many ways, if you will, paula of the big countries

of which the queen, besides the uk, is still head of state. canada is probably, maybe, probably the closest to the royal family at the moment. what happened today? >> reporter: richard we don't need to speculate about that as well. the queen visited here 22 times, more than any other foreign country she herself called it her second home. you were going through the events there going on in britain. at this hour going on here as well. king charles now is being proclaimed the new sovereign here. the canadian privy council is going through that tradition and ritual right now followed by a 21-gun salute. jus tin trudeau is there, and obviously this has not happened in seven decades. integral to canada's system of monarchy as well. obviously the prime minister, justin trudeau is there as well.

important to look at his relationship with the queen as well. his father was prime minister through pivotal times in history. justin trudeau had known the queen since he was a toddler. he got quite emotional with trying to pay tribute to her in the last couple of days but now begins the very official move to make king charles the monarch here in canada. it's being presided by mary simon, the first indigenous representative. that's important, richard when you start to talk about the realms, you've spoken about it for decades how there is a streak of republicanism, not so strong in canada right now but that doesn't mean that won't change. at issue for king charles as he continues to go through this is that relationship with indigenous peoples. some leaders told me directly they felt the queen was an ally in this even though they had many problems with the way the crown conducted themselves over

centuries. that doesn't mean king charles will be thought of the same way, he does have work to do here in canada. and from some comments i had from canadians, spontaneously crying thinking about the queen even though they're here in canada. they felt very close to her. when the queen talked about this being her second home really that almost intimate embrace was reciprocated by so many canadians and is, at this hour, again. >> i guess, paula, thank you paula newton, joining us there. i guess of course eastern coast of canada to uk is say eastern coast of the maritimes to the west coast in terms of distance so the distance is not that far. as the oldest royal to be crowned king. much of the king charles iii legacy has been written. bianna knoblo looking at the

royal life. >> i would hope we might strive for an age of reverence. reverence for what gives us life and for the fragile world in which we live. >> charles born in 1948, to then heir to the throne, princess elizabeth and prince phillip, the duke of edinburgh. >> a son has been born, glad news that was soon echoing around the world. >> reporter: charles was bestowed a host of titles at a young age but did not become prince of wales until 1969, a role he sought to professionalize and redefine. many of his predecessors treated the title prince of wales as a ticket to a luxury lifestyle, notably the previous prince of wales, king edward viii. the british press giving charles the nickname the playboy prince.

he didn't want to wait until he became king to make a difference. following studies at cambridge university, charles went into the military. after leaving the royal navy in 1976 he founded the prince's trust. >> it's something he cares deeply about, he's done it for so long, one of his first causes, his first charities, but speaks to something he feels strongly about, which is youth unemployment. >> reporter: on top of his own charities he's patron of over 400 more, dedicated to subjects close to his heart, youth, environment, and education. his schedule intense, in a typical year he would carry out more than 500 royal engagements. official duties coordinated from his london base at clarence house. >> he's a perfectionist. he wants to know everything about all of his different projects and causes and roles. >> reporter: charles will forever be associated with his marriage to princess diana. he first met lady diana spencer
