spoke to the nation for the 1st time as head of state. he addressed his morning kingdom praising his mother's achievements, promising to draw on her example, and be a servant rather than a ruler. nichols, further him, berlin, and this is the day. ah, i speak today with the feelings of profound sorrow. everyone who will remember the moment they will speak it, the rest of their lives are elizabeth and age may now be with her legacy will live own for green. elizabeth was a life will live a promise. this when it i tune of solemnly pledged throughout the remaining time,

george drums to uphold the constitutional principles of the house or bondage. ah, we begin the day with the united kingdom in the grip of a monumental turning of the ages as the crown passes from the late queen elizabeth the 2nd to her son, the new king charles, the 3rd. charles returned to london on friday the day after the queen passed away in scotland at the age of 96 and after more than 70 years as sovereign. charles turned till capital and mourning events throughout the day marked the death of queen elizabeth $96.00 councils. one for each of for years, a special session and the house of commons and crowns gathered at buckingham palace . and at 1st for charles the 3rd as he addressed the nation for the 1st time as

king. a heartfelt acknowledgement of the pain of last attribute to his mother's dedication to serve as an a commitment to follow in her footsteps as a servant of his people. queen elizabeth was a life well lived, a promise with destiny kept. and she is mourned most deeply in her passing that promise of lifelong service i renew to all to day. as the queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, i too no 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, i shall endeavor to serve you with loyalty, respect, and love. as i have wrote my love 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. 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. and to talk more about the new king, i'm now joined in the studio by d. w. hannah clever hannah. the kings 1st appearance as monarch. what's your 1st impression? it was quite interesting really. and he drew a line really straight from his mother,

from her sense of duty which he was celebrating and remarking upon, and how she really worked all the way through her life and stayed in the saddle. so to speak, and he drew there all the way through to himself, promising to do the same, promising to work until the end of his days for the country. and then was really pushing it forwards. he talked about his sons and was, i think this is an interesting transition. i think he's going to be a transitional king. and i think this was a signaling that the other thing that i thought was interesting is that he actually made a couple of emotional, a couple of motional touches in this. and i think that's again, that's something different. that's not something that we would necessarily have heard from his mother. we know charles as a prince, he was forever the king and waiting. what kind of leader is you going to be? i think that that still remains to be seen, but like i said, i think this transition to the next generation is going to to define his

kingdom. i think he, he's really going to be depending on his son, william, his eldest son who's he's just made prince of wales. and also given the does she have komatsu, which is a massive undertaking, include about a 1000000000 pounds worth of land and holdings. and he's, he's laying the responsibility on william, i think if he's smart, he will take william and his wife kate to him, hold them close, kind of use the, the shut, the shyness of their massive popularity to reflect upon him and move that a monarchy forwards it. needs moving forwards, it needs for me, it needs modernizing. no, to stay in any way relevant to british life. i think princess diana, his ex wife, one said that he would suffer kate if he were king, that he would find it horribly oppressive to be in that position. how much do you think knowing what we know about him?

is he going to struggle under the weight of the crown? i think if he can manage to shape the firm as the royal family is known, if he can shape that to suit him and to suit william, i think he'll probably be okay. i think he's got a very strong ally in his wife camilla. she knows the rope. she's been around for a long time. she knows ro, family, she knows the whole system. diana was much more. she wasn't exactly an outsider. she was also a very well connected woman. but she was kicking against it and camilla doesn't. so i think he with camilla is a different person than maybe he was with, with diana and this 40 years ago. right. so he's a different person, he's much more influenced to be out of shape so that it doesn't suffocate him. the monarch has to remain strictly neutral when it comes to politics. now he is an outspoken environmentalist. that is something we know about him. for example, does that mean we're going to see more political advocacy coming out of the palace?

that would be constitutionally difficult. the deal between the people and the monarch in the u. k. a was really like you can keep your, your car. so as you can keep your crowns, and you can remain king or queen, but you got to stay out of parliamentary democracy and that's, that was the original deal. he's been quite active. this prince is prince of wales . he wrote a lot of letters to certainly the blair government in the 1999 and was advocating trying to push ministers into making policy changes on subjects that he cared about . that will have to stop now. he has acknowledged that it will be interesting to see whether he cannot she follow that through his mother. the queen is credited with, you know, keeping the monarchy alive even throughout the most tumultuous times. now the u. k . is once again in various crises, does he have what it takes to keep the country together to keep his kingdom together? yeah, i don't know whether it's really his job. like i said,

he's really the kind of the picture he's, he's supposedly supposed to be really just a decoration on the cake of the british constitution, which should be run by the parliament. we should be run by the government. we have a government this 4 days old and the u. k. so they will, i'm sure appreciate any help they can get the u. k. has been hit by any number of crises. you have many people who are having to decide whether to heat their homes or whether to feed their families this winter you've, you've got a national health service on its knees. there are so many things that really feel like they're falling apart. and a new king is not going to be able to do much about that in practical terms. maybe he can, maybe the whole funeral and the days of morning we'll distract people from that. but this stuff is going to be waiting for them when they stop morning, when they come out, if it federal and go back to work. if they have jobs,

i don't know whether it's really his place to hold the country together. whether he can on the is another question. very interesting stuff. i'm going to ask you to stick around. but 1st i want to take a quick look at how the u. k went about it's 1st day without queen elizabeth because most of her former subjects don't know life without her. and while her death was an unexpected giving her age and recent health difficulties, the u. k. is feeling the shock of her loss, wondering if the void she leaves can ever be filled. it is for all intents and purposes, the end of an era and a nation warrants the person that against all odds, came to represent it. o 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. with the now king charles grated

well wishes outside buckingham palace where emotions was still ra unfairly. oh, poor girl, sandra jordan, i believe like i'm sure that our e commerce, a very precious place to come to emerged. rodriguez, sure. a joy. the sport also 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 for its role writing. i to the very best of the visibility i would like to thought about the queen. i think i was very,

very special and she wasn't only the longest raining more, no infrastructure. 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 saturday and 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. am away. can go live down to our correspondence, con asmin. he is in front of buckingham palace in london, called a nation, says good bye to day to the stalwart. that was the queen. the only had a 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 has changed. this is been the end of 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, to day 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 to day and to leave 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 are right it. 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. this is just getting started on day one. and he will

take a while for people here to begin to process that the queen is indeed gone. and that this is the end of a longer pronouncement in london when he thinks queen elizabeth, the 2nd was a constant. and a time of dramatic change in britain end around the world committed to tradition, but not close to the new during her 70 your reign. she witnessed and shaved history like few others. the queen took the throne when the british empire was in decline when he colonies soon gained their independence while at the same time, a new global conflict. the cold war was simmering in the decades that followed her coronation, she tirelessly travelled the world representing britain and helping to shape a commonwealth. she met countless world leaders during her time on the throne and had no less than 15 prime ministers. the 1st b. winston churchill, and the last less trust of presidents, prime ministers, monarchs,

and world leaders have paid tribute to the life and service of queen elizabeth remembrances are coming in from all around the globe. ordinary people have also paid their respects to the woman who was the face of britain and its commonwealth. more than 70 years. oh, a moving fair, well worn cry for the queen. new zealand pays homage to her majesty with a ceremonial memory haka dance. 7 9 to shake short to mark each year of elizabeth the 2nd life in australia's capital, cambra in sydney warner's cue to pay a personal tribute to her. many are shocked and saddened the

world today has lost a true g. m. a world leader who was not in it for herself that you know, her family in the country was what came 1st and yeah, i think this will it will be sad for her that hipaa. i remember her long ryan and she been a great example to the world of dignity and grace and faithfulness and nothing. somehow that has left the world. you know something we've lost something that might be we'll never again, will never be any one like her or for that length of time. the queen's death was felt from africa to the pacific. in the hours following the announcement of her death, city landmarks across the globe were lit up in her honor. others turned to darkness. and flowers were laid outside,

british embassies and consulates. we have gone between, i didn't always associated breton with the queen and it moved me so much when i heard that she died and that surprised me on my z couldn't. i would like to send my condolences to the british people. it was so funny, we feel sorry for her death. oh lord huh. we wish or mercy we unfortunately all we have lost them. one of the greatest queens of the times we live in the father, la hamilton review, flags have been lowered to half mast, to mark the passing of the monarch. tribute are expected to continue as the u. k. wakes up to a new era a new era indeed dw tenant clever is still here in the studio with me at hannah. i want to share a quote from the queen with you in 1957. and she said,

i can't lead you into battle or make your laws, but i can give you my heart. she did redefine the role of a monarch shifting it kind of from a ruler to a servant, didn't she? did that help the monarchy survive? yeah, yeah, i think it must have done. i mean, you know, does she, she hung around for such a long time. the monarchy has had a couple of bad moments over the last 70 years under her. but yes, even monarchy, by doing this kind of rebranding really from being your kind of overlord, to being your servant. that's really smart move. if you want to keep your castles and your tiaras, and your, or your land and your, your, all of all those privileges that you have, which they haven't really given up. and they've managed to retain all of that and turn it into a kind of sense. and this is what you've heard over and over together. last 24 hours. this service is duty. you know, what were they doing?

the, these people were serving their country by going and meeting people, giving them that little bit of glamour. she's giving them some royalty. you know, shaking their hand, asking them whether they've come far, all this kind of stuff which people loved and has been portrayed as the duty as the serving the people, you know, and that has been all of a charitable work that, that's the whole royal family has been involved in doing a very clever, a rebranding from rulers to servants. very smart. after the end of the british empire, she was instrumental in shaping what's now the commonwealth. where does it stand after her death? i think that's a really interesting question or a couple of 1000000000 people in the commonwealth. it's not just a countries or, or kind of dependencies on the you came to india for example, where you got more than a 1000000000 on its own. this, this, the commonwealth is

a funny, squishy idea. they have these links. everybody was, they were, were part of the british empire. most them are no longer, some of them still are in one way or another protectorate. yet last year you had the extraordinary sight of prince charles sitting barbados as they in front of him with him as an invited guest said, sorry, mate, we're not interested any more. we want to be republic, and this is what we're going to do. and he made a very humble speech talking about will well done. off you go, and it's going to be very interesting to see whether there is a real future for the commonwealth. what is this role? why do people have this? there are trade links. there are also sporting links, cultural links, all of that can be set to be bigger, but it does still smell a little bit of empire and, and a lot of people in that commonwealth don't like it because of that, we almost never saw her comment publicly on current events to we'd know anything

about her political views, chris, she much not. you have to kind of be a bit of a reader of very british tea leaves to try to find any kind of political statement from her. i mean, she's part of the one she is, the monarchy was the monarchy, so conservative you would expect rate. and yet this kind of old fashioned patronage type of conservative is one nation. tory type of an idea would be much more fitting than the forest johnson type of conservative you have today. there was one brilliant moment. shortly after the breakfast vote when, when people in the u. k voted to leave the european union and she had to make some kind of presentation. i can't for the life me when it was. and she wore a great big, bright blue hat with little yellow flowers on it. that just so happened to look exactly like a european flag. the internet went mental was looking ago. this is her sending a signal that she's actually anti breaks it. of course he would never in

a 1000000 years hear her say anything one way or the other that was part of her art of keeping everybody able to love her because she never told them what she thought you can say a lot without saying anything. thank you so much and clever. well, we kind of got a sense there. she had a tremendous sense of duty, but reportedly also an impeccable sense of humor. as the world reflects on the queen 70 years on the throne, people are also remembering some of her a more light hearted moments. one such episode was when the monarch dropped into the opening ceremony of the 2012 london olympics together with none other than james fond played by. daniel craig. ah, double 07 escorts. the queen and her famous corgis from buckingham palace to the olympics, and a helicopter with a chopper hovering over the stadium,

the queen jumps out and makes her descent with the union jack parachute and or does she, if you didn't know that was actually an actor that took a leap of faith in place of the queen. the monarch was said to be highly amused when some didn't get her olympic parachute frank, his former prime minister voice johnson. she knew instinctively how to cheer wrong, the nation, how to lead a celebration. i remember innocent joy more than 10 years ago after the opening ceremony of the london lympics. when i told her that the leader of a friendly middle eastern country seemed actually to believe that she had jumped out of a pink dress and parachute into the save. you another

memorable moment was a sketch with a popular children's character. paddington bare the 2 bonded over tea and marmalade sandwiches in buckingham palace during the monarchs, platinum jubilee celebrations earlier this year. for many, it was another reminder that the queen was just an ordinary person, which has happened to carry an extraordinary burden. perhaps you would like to nominate some which i always keep on for emergencies. who do i? i keep mine in here. ah, natal views about them happy
