9:04 pm
her 21st birthday. she pledged in a broadcast from cape town to the commonwealth, to devote her life, whether it be short or long to the service of her people's. now to hers, more than a promise, it was a profound personal commitment which defined her whole life. she made sacrifices for duty. her dedication and devotion of sovereign never wavered through times of change and progress through times of joy and celebration. and through times of sadness and loss. in her life of service, we saw that abiding love of tradition together with that fearless embrace of
9:05 pm
progress, which makes as great as nations. the affection, admiration and respect, she inspired became the hallmark of her reign. and as every member of my family can testify, she combined these qualities with warmth, humor, and an unerring ability, always to see the best in people. i paid tribute to my mother's memory and i honor her life of service. i know that her death brings great sadness to so many of you and i share that sense of loss beyond measure with the wall. when the queen came to the throne, britain and the world was still coping with the privations and aftermath of the 2nd
9:06 pm
world war and still living by the conventions of earlier times. in the course of the last 70 years, we have seen our society become one of many cultures and many fates. the institutions of the state have changed in turn. but through all changes and challenges our nation and the wider family of realms, of whose talents, traditions, and achievements i am so inexpressibly proud, have prospered and flourished our values have remained and must remain constant. the role and the duties of monarchy also remain as does the sovereigns, particular relationship and responsibility towards the church of england. the
9:07 pm
church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted in that faith and the values it inspires. i have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too now solemnly pledged myself throughout the remaining time. god groan smith to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. 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,
9:08 pm
i shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have throughout my life, my life will of course change was i take up my new responsibilities. it will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities that issues for which i care so deeply. but i know this important work will go on in the trusted hands of others. this is also a time of change for my family. i count on the loving help of my darling wife, camilla. in recognition of her own loyal public service since our marriage, 17 years ago, she becomes my queen, consoled i know she will bring to the demands of her new role. the
9:09 pm
steadfast devotion to duty on which i have come to rely so much as my air william now assumes the scottish titles which have meant so much to me. he succeeds me as duke of cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the dutch of cromwell, which i have undertaken for more than 5 decades. to day. i am proud to create him prince of wales, to were soak comely, the country whose title i been so greatly privileged to bear. during so much of my life and duty. with catherine beside him, our new prince and princess of wales will, i know, continued to inspire and lead our national conversations,
9:10 pm
helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. i want also to express my love for harry and megan as they continue to build their lives overseas. in a little over a week's time, we will come together as a nation, as a commonwealth, and indeed a global community to lay my beloved mother to rest. in our sorrow, let us remember and draw strength from the light of her example. on behalf of all my family, i can only offer the most sincere and heartfelt thanks for your condolences and support. they mean more to me than i can ever possibly express.
9:11 pm
and to my darling mamma, 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 may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest a lot to talk about and i can do that now with the w and i clever those king charles the 31st address to the nation, such an historic speech. what, what would you find most remarkable, what points were most important? it was quite a well structured speech was now he starts off by talking very much about what his
9:12 pm
mother did. he kept on using the word mother. and i think that actually speaks to him wanting to set a slightly more informal, a slightly more modern tone. is such a big generational gap between him and queen elizabeth 2nd. and then he really took that kind of pledge that she had made you know, to serve the nation forever. and he said that he would now to solemnly pledge he also said throughout the remaining time that god grant me. so maybe he would also want to be king, you know, really until his last days. but then he mentioned the line to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation. i think that's quite interesting. he was a prince. he was quite active. his prince, he wrote letters to politicians and to ministers, asking them to take positions on policies that he had a particular interest in. that's going to have to stop. now he's king. so him actually that out. these constitutional principles that the monarch really shouldn't have any political influence. i thought that was interesting. he also
9:13 pm
gave handed out some bubbles to his eldest son, william, who is now prince of wales, making kate, his wife, or the princess of wales. the last one was princess diana. so that's quite an interesting move. and he also handed him over the scottish titles. whatever they may be and meet him was that you could call and touch a comb was worth a 1000000000 pounds. it's not just a fancy title. that's like significant land is one of the biggest land owning it, kind of entities in the u. k. so he just handed his son a pretty bobo. that's called a loyalty seems to pay off. doesn't that he did bring up his other son too. who is of course, now living overseas and somewhat out of the picture. what role can we expect william to take in his reign? william the eldest son. yeah. well, i think he's going to be really close to charles. i think if charles is smart about it, he keeps william closed, william and k, a hugely popular charles,
9:14 pm
much less. so i and charles could then kind of benefit from the outgoing popularity of his mother and the incoming popularity of his eldest son. and i think they could really form the core of the new slimmed down a royal family for this next couple of generations. i think that would be smart and clever. many thanks am away. can go live down to our corresponding carla's men. he is in front of buckingham palace in london, called a nation, says good bye today to the stalwart. that was the queen, the only head of state, most of them have ever known. it seems like a lot of them still cannot really make sense of the situation. yeah, you'd have to be in your seventy's to remember a time before queen elizabeth. she's been round for that long. and this really did seem like one of those days where when you wake up, everything is changed. this is been the end of
9:15 pm
a 70 year era in this country. and now the beginning of a new one with king charles the 3rd, you know, in speaking with a lot of people, they do feel some uncertainty around the, the situation of course, as a new prime minister here as well. but this has been something that many people have been trying to prepare for. they knew it was coming. they might be shocked, but they're not surprised at the death of queen elizabeth. of course, today, the focus has been on her, her life, her duty, and her service to this country and speaking with a lot of people. that's why they wanted to come out here today. and to lead flowers and other signs of remembrance at buckingham palace. it's not just people laying flowers tell how have people there in london been paying their thing lately. it feels like almost a city wide country wide pilgrimage that there have been thousands of people coming here to the palace, arriving at windsor arriving at the queen's residence in scotland as well. but you
9:16 pm
are right. it goes so far beyond flowers. i spoke with one elderly woman, she was in a wheelchair asked her, why did you come today? and she said, i felt like i had to and that's that kind of sense of duty of being a pilgrimage. i met another woman who had actually walked here from bucking palace all the way to saint paul's cathedral across town. after lang flowers here she said, i just needed to be near that remembrance ceremony at the cathedral. you see everywhere though in london, the taxi cab drivers have flags attached to their famous black cat. you see signs of condolences in store fronts. even the billboards have been changed for the most part to a picture of the clean. this is truly the beginning of a nation wide morning process. it is just to getting started on day one and able take a while for people here to begin to process that the queen is indeed gone and that this is the end of
9:17 pm
a long f. carlson and london. many thanks. king charles and his wife camilla now queen consort, made their way from bell moral to buckingham palace where they met prime minister las trust. the royal couple also greeted members of the public who gathered outside to the lay flowers and expressed their condolences. ah, a royal send off mocking the end of a life and the end of an era. $96.00 rounds were fired, one for each year. queen elizabeth's life. ushering in a period of national mourning, but also holding a new beginning the now king charles grated well wishes outside buckingham palace, where emotions were still raw on fairly well for girls, sandra jordan, luckily thought,
9:18 pm
i'm sure that our e commerce, very precious place to come to emerged towards the rear. sure. a george bush bottles rose celebration king charles and his wife camila made their way through the palace gates for the 1st time as king and queen consort. there's no doubt that to many the new king has big shoes to fill. king charles, the 3rd one will obviously role writing i to the very best of the visibility or i would like to focus on the queen. i think i was very, very special. and she wasn't only the longest running morning in for joshua for i think she was the best not more not i think in british history, buckingham palace announced that charles will be officially proclaimed king on
9:19 pm
saturday. a moment. he's prepared for his entire life. many hope then you monarch will live up to his mother's image by keeping a steady hand at the helm. as the u. k. navigates through turbulent times. the queen passed away at balmoral castle and scotland, where dw corresponded to emily gord. dean is now standing by for us. hi emily. good to see you. you've been there all day talking to mourners. what did they tell you? yes, absolutely. i mean, a lot of them, there's 3 of, you know, of you, there's been really a steady stream of visitors all day laying down flowers and remembering their queen . and, um, what they, a lot of the time spoke about for why they're here. you know is to give thanks for i'm the queen because there live remembered her for her profound sense of duty and
9:20 pm
really her dedication to unity. to think of that prince charles or king charles now also mentioned in his speech to day. and especially this ability to unite is something that can be felt here in scotland in the sense that i'm, you know, prime and still us trust and m 1st minister nicholas dudgeon. don't really have very much politically that they agree on. but the queen has and does provide common ground. and this is felt right now in the way that every one here is, is mourning the loss of their queen. and i think this m as ability you not to unite at the queen had this power was very unique and that will be missed here. she was some one everybody could agree on, wasn't she bell moral castle? was one of the queens favorite places. why did it have such a special place in her heart?
9:21 pm
well, this was her home, away from home. this was the place where she could escape the spotlight in london. but it was also a place where she felt she felt safe, and she felt part of the community. she felt comfortable. you know, she would occasionally have see her driving her land rover around. you might even meet her on her hikes, m o through the states. but you could also catch her on regular visits to the local church that's down the road. so she was an integral part of the community. and again, this is a place when you seen the area around on moral it's, it's beautiful, it's tranquil. and you do understand why she felt so comfortable, but you know it's, it's a combination of the people, the community, the sense of belonging, i guess, but also the sheer beauty of, of, of the scottish countryside grove. yeah. think italy's emily gardena outside the moral castle in scotland. thank you. oh, here in germany,

9:23 pm
german public was very sympathetic with his young queen. she was a very modern woman at the time she had a love marriage, so she, she chose her husband herself and her husband, prince philip, had german roots. although this was played down to the british public, as was the queen's own heritage, elizabeth the 2nd was also descended from german nobility. when the queen returned in 1978, she found a much more self confident. morton, west germany relations between the 2 countries had by now normalized her 3rd state visit in 1992 was to a re unified germany. the queen at the former border crossing checkpoint charlie the queen's visit, was seen as a positive gesture at a time when many britons were fearful of a german resurgence. she received a warm welcome in the reinstated german capital. germans are by and large,

9:26 pm
war, but also after german reunification in 1992, just 3 years after the berlin wall had fallen, she travelled to drayton, a city that had been annihilated by british and american forces in the fire bombing at the, towards the end of world war 2, she met with the cool reception. there were protests, an egg was thrown, and yet that didn't deter her from becoming a major donor to the reconstruction of dresden most important landmark, the church of our lady, a magnificent church that had been entirely destroyed. it was her, her efforts, including a major benefit conference concert here in berlin, that helped to fund the golden coupla that now adorns the church and was constructed in britain by artisans who included the son of one of the pilots who had destroyed the church. that is the reconciliation for which the queen stood.
