3:30 pm
treated her as one of their own and they never bothered her in the butchers sort of thing. they really took her as one of their own, which is very apparent. now we're seeing all the crowds arriving in the edinburgh as well. and there was a different constitutional relationship with scotland. you may have noticed the other day, i'm at the oath of allegiance. i nearly said prince charles, king charles took an extra oath of allegiance to the scottish church of one other interesting thing. post boxes in england have e 2 are on them. elizabeth the 2nd regina, but they don't in scotland because she isn't. or wasn't the 2nd queen of scotland? elizabeth the 1st was the queen of england. i think it was james the 6 correct. if our our in scotland and she was the 1st and on scottish post boxes to this day,
3:31 pm
they have the scottish crown. and what does that mean when, when charles ah, ah, comes in as king, i will, he is now king. but is he a separate king to scotland or how does that work? i'm not quite sure. maybe we'll get it didn't finish the leg it could go. let's bring in how corresponded in london voted must get the king started his day in london at the houses of parliament. could you tell us a bit more about that and perhaps clarify what, what sort of king the u. k. is info. oh my god, i don't want to address the title. that's the very, very complicated drum, but i know i can, i can tell you that he is king charles the 3rd and he was in westminster today. and he was basically paying tribute to his mother. he said to his beloved mother and there were digging freeze politicians of all parties um,
3:32 pm
in the houses of parliament i. i thought it was so quite remarkable that the, it, it was an event that seemed to cross far to political divides. we have seen pictures of the prime minister list truss and leaders of the 2 opposition parties, the scottish national party, and the labor party, and they were smiling at each other. and that the moment on these moments are very rare because the u. k is politically going through an incredibly tough time economically for many people a tough time. so what a robin has already alluded to. king charles will have to, you will have his arc will have his work cut out in order to well be, be the person that he wants to be and be the king that his mother wanted him to be . and the big question is, could he, can he basically pass on the crown to, to his son in the way that he hasn't tarnished the monarchy,
3:33 pm
but that here he is. and hampstead. okay, we're just looking at our list trust, walk in. there are very new in the job as my minister also her husband there. and i just outside we were looking at or he here we can see again the are hers waiting to transport the late queens coffin. and if i can bring you back in robin, or tell me what the scots are, think of the monarchy in general? well, as i say that the queen had a very special relationship with scotland. and i think what i saw in edinburgh yesterday, i was really everybody so very, very shy and a huge respect. oh ha, ha, ha, lie for however, this is she united, the you k very well, but i think back could now be in jeopardy. i'm a recent survey had only 45 percent retaining the money that just happened. listen
3:34 pm
in the bagpipes playing while we're waiting for the queen's compton to be carried through edinburgh and followed by can shop ah ah.
3:35 pm
says king charles, the 3rd we just saw the lake queen's coffin being brought to the hearse that will transport on the lake. queen elizabeth the 2nd and through edinburgh and a band we heard they're playing god save the queen, of course. text that will now be god, save the king robin. and tell me more about the queen before we talk more about the king. why was she so universally popular? would you say what, what was her legacy?
3:36 pm
i mean, i think the word that was hearing more than anything else. is this enormous respect for her if you will remember, i'm sure everybody seen these pictures when she was 21 black and white pictures of her saying in a very, very posh for is that she will serve her country. and this she has done for, for 7075 years. i mean, before she was in, she was serving them and it's a beacon of old fashioned values like reliability, consistency, duty. and as i said, respect, i mean, she's been this incredible steadying presence in britain in reason, in a lot of turmoil may say, i, i mean, again, things like, she obeyed the laura phillips funeral, didn't she? and sat on around the day before mr. johnson was holding a party. she takes 2 days off a year. evidently,
3:37 pm
she was working 2 days before her death on tuesday when she welcomed this draft. looking very frail, world wide respect. i've had messages from all sorts of people around the world. some of them republicans, but they loved the queen all respect that maybe not loved, respected the queen, and all she stood for. she held the reputation of great single handedly. if sir, is still a refutation of billiard, could you tell me your, you're in london, but i guess you're also watching these live scenes where watching from edinburgh, the scottish capital, or whether queens, coffin, or has arrived and is being put into a house there. king charles is standing behind in this procession. tell us a bit more about this procession itself. well, we have seen king charles and he's wearing his full ceremonial uniform. sir,
3:38 pm
this possession will now go towards and send giles cathedral. so there will be the opportunity for the scottish people to, to pay their respects. and we've seen the, these images of all these people who were cuing there for hours and hours because they would like to be part of their well this, the opportunity for the scottish people to, to, to basically mark their respect for, for, for the queen. we also know that and there coffin is draped her with a royal standard and what i found quite touching the flowers, the decorated flowers were all picked around the bell moral estate, which of course the queen loved and where she died. and there's white head thou white roses, and yet all very probably flowers that were all quite a clothes and anthea to heart, also tell me about the king what,
3:39 pm
what sort of journey is he going to be embarking on now of the united kingdom well yes he is going to have to travel through the united kingdom. he's of course now in scotland, but he will come to london where in the next days there will be the fakers of all the saran and east. regarding the queen, the queen will be lying in state in westminster, and people in london will have the chance to pay their respects. and the king is going to basically tour the country. he's going to go on to wales and to northern ireland and where he will have a chance. obviously to introduce himself formally asked the king, he is somebody who is replaced as map mother on many occasions and who in his own right has been a numerous tours through the country. but this is the 1st time that he will actually be there as the king. will queen elizabeth the 2nd is
3:40 pm
a hard act to follow robin. what's your impression of now king charles? i'm so far so good. it's very early days. he's had a lot of practice to pianist had a lot of time. however, he is the oldest person ever to ascend to the british phone. and you know, he's 73 people of this age. it's that you have difficulty with change and he has to change. has to change a great deal. i think it's harder to handle stress at this age and he's looking very steady and kingly at the moment. i must say. and one thing i really did a like that when he arrived at buckingham palace, the other day got out the comment straight to the crowd. he what needs the people on his side very much and he's doing these walk about it. we saw one earlier today
3:41 pm
to with great success, and i don't think he would have done that as the prince of wales. and he wants to get the heart of the people i'm. but i think, and i hope that he some, some time in the foreseeable future, starts handing over things to william. and because we must remember that when the queen became queen, she was 25 young, beautiful, exciting person. a he is, you know, he's, he's 73 years old and we know him very well, but he's got a very, very hard. i mean, it's almost impossible act to follow. one has to say we, so you're saying a very different prince charles to what is now who is now king charles and we saw a very opinionated prince. charles will be see a less opinionated king charles. absolutely. he is not allowed constitutionally,
3:42 pm
as king. he mustn't give his opinions, which we saw in the queen for 70 years. you have no idea of her opinions. i think we might have had a little of an idea of what she thought about scottish independence, but that's about it. we have no idea what she thought or breaks it, and she never spoke publicly in it of her opinions why he has done that, hasn't he has a quite laws. and he has also said in the past that he realizes when he becomes king, he has to change that and he's not allowed to give his opinions. they were watching are like pictures here of us coming from this got capital edinburgh where a procession with queen elizabeth's coffin is making its way from hollywood house palace to saint charles cathedral down those cities famous royal mile. we have a correspondence with us, rob merrill and spirit mos in london. bill gets it. tell me about the plans for the queen's coffin in the days to come this will be probably
3:43 pm
the biggest event that london has ever seen, or at least one of the biggest events. i heard a member of their houses of parliament saying, speculating this morning that there could be up to 20000000 people that they would be expecting to to pay their respects to the queen. so, we're expecting that people will be cuing all through central london. the queen is arriving. the queen's body will be arriving late on tuesday evening and then she will from, from wednesday she will be members of the public will be able to, to, to pass by. and that will then she will basically lie in westminster until the day of the funeral, which is next monday. so for several days, people have the chance to for mchugh, which is what the british people are obviously very well trained in their
3:44 pm
organizers. the police have been warning that this is not a normal q, like for example, wimbledon, where you can sort of camp and sit and have a picnic. you will have to actually move. you will be moved because this you, i've been told me to call whether you now with well, yes, overnight has been be you had have to expect to be able to queue overnight because people will be coming not from london, but from, from all across the country. so unimaginable really at this point, but i guess we will see it and we will be able to speak to people who are part of the q and it'll be interesting to you, to talk to them and to find out what makes them want to be there. and earn it, take a lot of hardship upon them, frankly, if you're really queuing for 4 hours and hours hours on end without, without really being able to rest or robin. could you tell me more about the
3:45 pm
reaction in the u. k. to the queen's death? i well, i think as i said it was a shock and sadness very beginning. i think as i left the u. k. i at edinburgh airport yesterday. i tried to speak to as many people i can could from different ages and, and there was turning into this enormous gratitude for what she did in her life and how she, how she was the glue of the country's pianist. this gratitude, thankfulness. i, i think this is also why berg, it's just said about, they're expecting 20000000 people to want, whether they will get to want to file past the, the coffin and this is unprecedented. i mean, it's unbelievable to think of that amount of people. and i'm, it is this a gratitude, respect, these old fashioned hats. i keep saying, you know, that that has been unbelievable for.
