>> welcome back to live coverage of the queen's diamond jubilee. the queen is having a wonderful

time. we're all having a wonderful time. it's an extravaganza of the likes britain has never seen before. we'll never see again, certainly in our lifetime. you're an american. the only american on this panel right now. what do you think of this? >> in preparing for just coming here today i was trying to think of what could possibly compare. i've been to inaugurations. nothing could prepare. the lovely weather you've provided today in addition to the crowds, i've never seen it. >> people ask me why do americans love the royal family so much? why is it? z >> i can't speak on behalf of the country. they ranked her something like 82%. if only president obama could have those kinds of numbers. does that come as a surprise? >> no.

these are not politicians. the irony is she never got involved with politics. how many prime ministers? it's quite remarkable. yet she's never passed a political comment. she's remained very aloof and very objective. he never got the ticket. i never found out why. everyone watching knows why poor old linden johnson -- it's one of those odysseys. 12 prime ministers, every president since 1953. timing. just never happened. absolutely. never in the right place at the right time. i looked into the last state visit from the united states. back earlier in the century. it was one of those things they never got it together.

>> we all covered the golden jubilee and whatever. it seems to me there is more bunting. >> here she is with the president. look at the queen. there she is with president kennedy. >> so beautiful. she did have the ability to dazzle and charm the statesmen and politicians. she commanded the sense of awe and majesty. just wonderful, really. >> the famous visit, of course, the very first one that she made to the united states. but this one with ronald reagan out west. you'll remember this, piers, terrible weather. shocking weather. britannia wasn't able to get to the west coast. that was the talking hat one where she addressed congress. they forgot to pull out the box. that was with president clinton. and as for george w. bush and his comment, a smile that only a mother can give. the obamas do seem to enjoy a

great warmth with the royal family. what a lot of fuss over nothing. the queen wasn't bothered. the deal is, you are not to touch the queen. you are not to speak first to the queen. you are never put your back to the queen. >> you're not really meant to involve eye contact with the queen unless you're invited to. i think these things are becoming a little more relaxed. we've seen a very relaxed happy queen out there who seems jub lent to be with her subjects. she's smiling at all of them. she's barely sat down. >> you see her with so many world leaders. there are very few people in the world who have her experience. she can put everything into global perspective and to calm prime ministers down when they maybe get overexcited.

mother theresa. nelson mandela. she's met and seen them all. >> and what's interesting -- and lady gaga. queen of pop meets the queen. and david beckham, of course. >> she seems to be equally comfortable with politicians, with celebrities, she really does have that knack with people. >> it's extraordinary watching these people. and you think of how many the people the queen met that are dead. >> yes. >> and the range of the years and the decades. >> shows you how long he's been on. >> isn't that why she wears gloves? >> she does. she will only wear white or black gloves. they're handmade especially for her. they physically get worn out. she has now batches made on a weekly basis. >> she's also very funny. i've met her three or four times. pointing out in the garden, saying do you enjoy the garden parties? she said, well, mr. morgan, would you enjoy 12,000 complete

strangers on your lawn? she has a natural wit about her. >> she has a sense of humor. >> legendary. when you look at her from an outsider perspective, she's regal and stoic. >> she's a great mimic. she can impersonate so many people. she does have a great sense of humor, and the royal stare. >> and she hates pretentio pretentiousness. she hates people more royal than the royals. let's go to one more break before the grand finale. don't go away. stay with cnn. you inspired a ron howard production.

welcome back to rain soaked -- soaked isn't quite the right word, deluged london for the queen's diamond jubilee.

a classic british summer day. started promisingly, and then horrendous. but our spirits remain intact and positive, and it has been, richard quest, a quite remarkable day. >> a sort of day we won't see the like of again. >> the care, attention, detail, the drama. i've seen quite a few royal vacations and covered them over the years. nothing quite like this. >> talk about the historical context of what happens now with the monarchy post the queen. >> post the queen it's really succession with prince charles. he is the next in line. when he dies william takes over. there's been a lot of talk over the years about the queen advocating or moving sideways,

when she reaches a certain age or reaches this milestone, age 60. as she said in 1947, at the time of her 21st birthday. i declare the whole of my life, lest it be long or short -- that's the key to it, long or short, she did it again for her first christmas message in 1952 when she said dedication the whole of her life. >> and by a fashion expert. is there a worse day for a woman than this? >> no. i can't think of one. i feel sorry for all of them. but i think this day means so much more to them than fashion. >> can you imagine? i'm not sure what i'm going to do with this. >> that's right. >> let's talk briefly about the duchess of cambridge. she looks really magnificent in this alexander mcqueen red

outfit. >> i think it's probably the best i've ever seen her look. today is her day of glory, which sounds a strange thing to say when it's the queen's day. i also think perhaps had she not come along a year ago, i wonder whether the sentiment might have been quite the same. the relationship is unfoiling now between the queen and the duchess of cambridge. we all remember princess diana so well. and that was clearly a complicated relationship. you got the sense they never really geled. i'm getting the sense with the grandson's wife, it's very different. >> in her eyes, william can do no wrong. if william has chosen kate, then he's done right. the queen has gone out on engagement and taken camilla, the wife of the next in line to

the throne, and kate, the wife of the second in line. that's amazing. that's never happened before. >> ten years ago it would have been unthinkable. it shows you how far public opinion has moved to accept camilla, and also to realize we couldn't again have a situation as we did with princess diana where everything became so fractious and polarizing. in the end that doesn't help the monarchy. >> besides the public perception, it also shows how the queen has adapted to meet the needs of the 21st family. embracing the family and her children. her grandchildren. we have a marvelous spent cactan the river. doesn't matter about the weather. they're there enjoying themselves. >> we're going to take another short break before the grand

fina finale. it's running a little bit late. that's understandable given the horrendous weather conditions. a fly-pass will be happening. and an orchestra will perform. it will be something very special. ♪ [ male announcer ] to hold a patent that has changed the modern world... would define you as an innovator. to hold more than one patent of this caliber...

welcome back to london for the queen's diamond jubilee. we're just hearing reports, not confirmed yet, that the grand finale fly-by may have to be canceled because of the appalling weather. it's been raining very hard for the last hour. and the clouds are setting in. it's pretty foggy out there. and talking to the navy guys earlier, they did say if it got much worse they may have to reconsider. so we are waiting on tinder hooks here. the british weather has always been unbrickable. >> it's been totally unpredictable. it's unfortunate they can't do the fly by. we got a fly by on tuesday.

it's the only look in. cloud is low. raining cats and dog. visibility is not good up there. >> what a question. they are going to pass us in about five or ten minutes. we will enjoy those. >> the fly-by would have been great. ending it with this backdrop on a tower bridge singing the national anthem will be pretty fantastic. won't it? it will be absolutely fantastic. it has something like a million people stretching back all the way to the skrar. a big orchestra. they were singing land of hope and glory and national anthem.

it was great. >> my guess is that is them passing from westminster. >> you're freezing to death here. so i'll need you to talk just to keep you alive. >> what makes you think that? a lady never portrays ichlt. >> what do you think of the great british spirit? still there were hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets. >> it's something that's always been a part of britain. we soldier on and carry on no matter the circumstances. it's something great about the country. the organization. not to be thwarted by the weather. we're used to it. in adversity, the brits always come up in these kinds of things. it will not stop. and i find it extraordinary. so many british people and tourists. from all countries around the world. prepared to brave, really, if

you're not here, you can't grasp how on it's freezing cold. it's africtorrential rain. we're all soaked to the skin. >> they've come out because they want to see the queen celebrate her diamond jubilee. >> we've got breaking news. sadly the flyby has been canceled. so due to the awesome conditions. the royal navy just confirmed to us there will be no fly by. it would have been the royal navy's great chance tohow off what people expect from them. the helicopters. >> you can see the low cloud in that picture there from the shard of the skyscraper being built if london, now shrouded in the clouds. >> we're going to take a short break. the orchestra will sing. so will i. so will richard quest. so we'll go on after this brake.
