as i think is how much it is or how much it is i've just been saying are 18 percent, 18 percent of brits and say that they that you know that background is from an ethnic minority and that has been a huge change over the past few decades in the u. k. on the kit, and they know this like, there is no way that they can pretend it's not happening. so i think that's why they want to be seen as moving forward. close, of course. harry's wife met prince harry's wife. megan describes itself as 5 racial . there's been that told elements going on within the family as well. and the claims of whether they well pray. 7. yeah. besides the members of the royal family had upset racist comments. prince harry has said he never to use any one of being racist, but that was the line that the temp lloyd's and the purchase price went full when there was concern about what had been said to make. and when she was pregnant with that 1st child, what color of the skin, if that child would be so all these things are coming together and the king console

away from it. yeah, i think it's also important to note, i mean, we saw some of the things that need us from the commonwealth of realm. a lot of them have mentioned that there. it would like to remove the monitor, but it's more of a head of state. but there is also an element of respect. the one thing i notice from them is that they're not doing this, you know, coming language and they, they're trying to be amicable in the way they want this to, to be handled as well. and we've seen a forced in charles himself. i said he's open to a conversation, so i don't think this will end in a sort of mad revenue. shouldn't. that will be shaking of hands and whichever way it goes. yeah. because it was in 2021. the bomb bay dose became a republican. we know already that jamaica's possibly going to hold a referendum as early as next. yeah. about also going down that route and we know that there is that you astray in, in particular, the sounds, thomas,

antique pop a new guinea. i mean it's, it's on and on and on. you know, so yeah, i mean it's a, it's, it's not going to go away. but i think um, it will, it will, we might just need the cascade, you know, over the next few years, it might be an increase in the level of conversation. we see bucks um at the same time, as i said, you know, that will be, that will be a, a measure of respect for set the procession guessing closer to buckingham palace. now coming down the mile with mendez's, please, the king's place and stonily as the prince and princess of wales, with the children guessing ready to appear on the balcony of booking a palace once the whole procession has arrived. when a very great mackie day in london, each it is a shame,

but there we go. i think it was some similar weather in 1953. i think it much of pain or so of course it's still smiling. the rest of the closer, you know, a big part of the discussion of what will it be like when charles is king is how open will he be? how involved will he be with the causes that he is passionate about? and the question is, will he get involved? politically, of course has moment he candidates, it's a completely against the rules. he was criticized as when he was prince charles, cool, low being politicians. he has said that he understands that that cannot happen as moment, but he is passionate about us and a till thinks the environment organic farming being an absolute passion of his architecture. he sets up the prince's trusts many years ago, which is a cherokee,

to encourage young people to make the best of themselves. and that's knowing that he cannot get involved in any way. politically, will be seen to even have opinions. those are the, those are the issues now on the 8th where he will now slowly move forward and champion, uh, some of those, any of those issues. i mean, he comes, everybody knows that he is an environmentalist. everybody knows that he made to, it was talking about this decades ago when, when it was not cool, he was a trailblazer and he was a trailblazer. and he was lost at she knew of that that this the prince who took to tom, you know, oh, he's into homeopathic medicine. he's into it. he is against genetically modified crops. you know, and, and as he said, he knows that he's not able to be such a trout blazing out, but you can't. then when we know that we have an environmental crisis in the world,

we, we'll know what side he's on. and other thing is any turning back from that, it certainly would not going to be see, we're not going to see him writing to ministers. the so called blacks by to memos that were released back in 2015. if these left to is a teacher that being typed out and engine schooled comments on nice sent in a private correspondence to various ministers about his views on various topics. which was obviously not considered something that a future king should be doing. but he did do that, and he con, shy away from, from his thoughts from some of these issues, but will clearly not be taking a stand on some of those issues going forward. so different to his mother who was known for being very, very district a discrete and never mentioning anything about that right instead of thoughts and opinions. just a reminder, just a reminder of you is that the coach has now enter the gates of booking and palace. and the procession is now going through the gates into

through the arch, the booking and palace and into the back for kids. whether your family will then enter the palace and will surely be making an appearance on the balcony, which is a traditional thing to the royal family to and interesting would be with the troops for files and troops and ceremonial troops on show in this procession itself. and when they that the front to get to fucking palace the back, which they for me loans still need bit down the streets, which is to anyone who knows the areas quantum alone distance. so it just goes to show how many are involved in the procession today. nope, just from across the u. k. but also from the countries in the coming mouth as well

. i was just gonna address. so when you were talking about his is close is i, i suppose that supposed to be effective us having seen him for so long as a prince. and we've got to also see him and, and understand his own personal views. and a lot of things in the same way that the public did not see his mother when she was a princess. and so at the moment he probably, i guess the passing of the baton now and he can disappear and, and have these clauses over to them to other members of the family. which is really, it's a real shift in perception, isn't it? because demand that we full known as prince charles, who as we've said, hasn't always been the most popular member of the world family has a struggle to connect in many ways is known as being quite a sensitive person. who is alex said, struggled at school and in his childhood to really sort of find, find his pace and that he has matured,

obviously grown and he to himself and seems to be since he did marry, camilla seems to be a much more happy and confident us and, and this is now the man who has become king of the age of $74.00. it's, it's older than many people, probably would've imagined maybe it's much older than he would as one said. but he has had time to develop and mature and to become confident in who he is and what he stands for and, and the suggestion may be that actually that will make it easier for him. i mean, who would wish on anyone was queen list this is such a went through. she was a young mother and her twenty's pass all the died on expectedly and suddenly she was the queen. that's an extraordinarily extraordinary responsibilities to take on such a young age. i agree, and i think that the queen will send you that her son charles couldn't possibly take on that role some in the ninety's and the 2 found early,

2 thousands because of his complicated loved life. that was a pre way no. just every in every paper and every tv screen in the u. k. but across the world. and she had to keep everything together. they had to work very hard of to diana died of restoring respects to the mona key again, not just across the u. k. but across the whole world, and i think then by the end of her life, she started to pause the button over to her son. for example, she was the one who did the ceremonial states, hoping parliament when, when his mother was to on, well it, it seemed to not show them that a bit. she was coughing pulsing over, hunting, over the reins pulsing over these jolts to her son who was ready for them. even though he is now set from school and philosophy. yes, it would have been easy for him if it had happened a couple of decades ago. but then again,

we can't say that because look of what's happening in the united states, the president of the united states, and how old he is and of a religious across the world. so i've been a special benefiting from age and was just talking about what big it said about the kings popularity increasing since he became king, it's is up to around about 55 percent now, but nothing compared to his mother. she had the popularity for her within the u. k . was about 75 percent is higher. so it is. he knows that she's never going to be as popular as his mother, but they've still got to make it work annual to for the bathroom to be is passed on to william and in the mines touchstone to william's son eccentric. that's right. he called filled his shoes and he probably shouldn't try to because she was quite extraordinary with the chain unique in the way that she took on them on a team or rather tickled and took on the throne that became queen and reign such

a long time. and, and during the periods of time when one person in the world has changed in so many ways. so king charles, no doubts now knowing that he needs to be his own king. he uh he has the, the causes that he champions, as we've talked about and he's got support the support of the younger members of the royal family who all the to work with him and camilla. and to represent the, the, the mother of keena. and it said probably more modern and an up to date connected, connected way. i think it comes be over stated that the level of respect to queen elizabeth commanded around the world even, and even even a times of them. when that was the colonial struggle. um, you know, and to colonial struggle, i mean is the same as some story from gone when, when she visited and there was still the tension between the commands and the brits . and she had this famous dance with common chroma. we've had about

a ball room downs and that sort of disuse, the little things that she was fine with it and wherever you go in the well there was still that level of, of, of, of, of respect for her, regardless of what your thoughts of, of the institution or brenton as a whole as an individual, she commended that and i think controls would, would do well to even get that as a fraction of that. absolutely, and, and there are now, there is now, since people are saying that those who are n t millnicky who don't believe in the moment key to wouldn't have said or being quite as vocal when thing elizabeth was civilized because of a say it was a backlash. on now more willing to voice the criticism because it feels now that's a, you know, there's possibly a chance to gain traction to the, to the on t one a t, the republics in places. but as doug was saying earlier, i mean, this is a, this is a, a long progress process. and, you know,

the royal family certainly right now. and with the popularity that the fam, royal family is saying now through celebration such as this, it does seem to have a secure future for the foreseeable future. and i also do think that to the sent me the, the government, which is the conservative policy who are still in power. they need events like this because they need to show that things on still working in the u. k. when there is a huge cost of living crisis, when they're all strikes that a paralyzing the country, bits of schwann's foods strikes it with the and it just, that's the national health service has doctors, nurses, the list goes on and on. and this is been pushing on this fantastic display to say, look, we can still do this. we all still important. we have some things special. and i

think that that is something that all governments of whichever persuasion will you know, will take advantage of because it is of politics. but at the same time, it's very much involved in the way brushing works to the i mean, if we think about everything that the u. k in particular has experienced in the last few years. you know, we have had close it. we have had a full spring economy, brick set as close as a huge issue in the u. k. has been so many years now and the effects of braxton consequences. well, and then we've had the series of british prime ministers. what people in general have just felt this country is changing, and we're not sure it's in a safe pair of hands. and then the queen toys. yeah. and i think that was what made the death of the queen. so extraordinary and so challenging for many people because

they couldn't imagine the world without the queen's access. and so alex, your point being that the royal, the queen in particular, but the royal family in general, giving defense a sort of stability and continuing, continuing for the purposes uh, comfortable with. that's kind of the one of the winning concepts. and indeed, i'm here we have, sorry that we just have the princess royal princess and that in full regalia as they have no waiting in the gardens of buckingham palace on the day. this is by the many of these trips on counseling. sorry to interrupt, just because we thought i would just say to add that, you know, when you think about britain, when, what, what, what image does britain send to the world in this? the royal family, the tradition is positive. let me think about what britain has to offer today. you're thinking things like, i don't know the english premier league or, or an institution like the bbc or whatever. but i think that the royal family is

also one of those major symbols sub britain can show that well, um, you know, that there is sort of preserved well regarded, well with that history that, that there was still pulled. and we could see, you know, with this prep procession watching what's happening right now is as the procession came down, the mile and back to the palace, the people waving the union jack flag, they was, they were shouting, don't saved the king. and there was real enthusiasm and that is really and to see as i mean it genuinely that is willing to use the as a menu see that even within school policies in the u. k, there was no tool because after getting rid of the medicaid is considered part of the constitution, there's been a lot of talk about breast and, and the constitution in government, not working well at the moment, took about breaks. it talked about all these british prime ministers, or conservative versus prime minister who's slow to just sit. and i'd say for the

past few years, and people are very unhappy balance it. but opposite it, the rock solid center of british institution still is the mona key. and that's just why it's so popular. so many people have turned out and as big it was talking earlier about all these policies and celebrations across the country. as people happy to stay safe to can see now the troops gatherings racing for the expected flight post, which will involve the members of the army, will navy and roll at force. and then culminating in that display by the red arrows that we are expecting shortly. hopefully it's not too rainy for that to happen. one thing we must have the cancer causes that every week. the monique, so now king charles has an audience with the prime minister. and so going back to

him, you know, can, you can just say what she thinks. well, we don't know what's the, it's, it's like, you know, what exactly is just between the 2 as then it's right of what is said at buckingham palace each week. so be very interesting to know is that what is discussed? it will probably step in the the, the,

the of the,

the, the making his appearance by queen camilla having trouble down the mile back to the palace to inspect the gods. expect the troops inspect the troops. that's right. the

. 7 7 the,

the, the creatures for the king and queen i was taking the helmets off. so those 3 chairs and now replacing them right here is just the same number of different military representations. i mean, i'm on display in the processions that we just seen. we had facility and we had

here minutes ago at the household, cavalry approved rooms. footman just really extraordinary display of of the minute trade. i also have to ceremonial roles as well. so for example, the king's body gone to scotland will come. people just have sufficient title, and they are supposed to be the ceremonial body goes at the moment of the moment when he or she is a school, and single, or to set footballs. and the piece in both in that will not necessarily be in the military, but they all people who are landed gentry and have been involved with the royal family generations. and so they also have been called in to today to be involved in this procession. cost the cost we took the santa dowdy at, but the personnel from me, which is overseas territories and they come of

the the important to remember of course, that it's not just today that is going to see a such celebration. i mean, today obviously is the day of clinton ceremony and the coordination terminates bus tomorrow, they'll be a special coordination concept that's going to be staged. good costs lie,

but within the causal and mondays be named public holiday. and that spring job, the big hill tiles. so people are being encouraged to try volunteering for themselves and joining the what is being taken to the local area. so that's very much a so coast theme of today which is to subs. and this is what's being encouraged among the peoples of u. k. in particular, is to not only celebrate and have a great policy through the sites and getting sold to your local community. and that makes sense, doesn't it? because such as what the king has always been king to, to shows it. and of course, his mother, the queen, before that fits the royals, have a huge sense of juicy, and that they are doing as much as they can to help all sorts of different organizations and causes. for example, we know that

a queen camilla has been heavily involved in trying to tackle domestic abuse and slavery. not taking the task, but slavery now or some of that case, many women and people who are coming in from countries across europe and being trafficked. and she has made it very, you know, made it a top priority, but that is something that she has wanted to tackle. and also we know that william and kate and the principal princess of wales. i've also got the, the charities and organizations that they all very much involved with with tape, for example, early. yes. so what's happening the children up until i think age of fives. because obviously that some such an important part of the child's life and how they will develop as adults in the future. so they've very, very keen, i think, to,

to show that they will lead to that and continue to beat that. and there's no stepping back from that sense of duty and that as well. so i think that's right. i'm william the prince as well as he says, has felt his passion for the environment, doesn't he? but he's also focused on homelessness. and i remember when william and harry were young boys and them of a princess diana and took them to a homeless shelter and, and many people who are sleeping in the streets and that theme has continued in in their lives. they also both william and harry, but of the sea now william as the prince of wales and has supported cherokees, that helped with mental health issues and everything to the, the gods walk by um much. why are all the also to remember that they are all the gods? probably who we can't see overseas in um, jeep roll, turn the mood uh and at uh, on the naval ships, etc, as well,

who will be involved who would also be joining. and when we had the, the gun salute not too long ago, they would also have been doing the same at this point as well, watching the, the military and parts of the day i did just want to bring in that mouse, who's all correspondence in london and just get a sense again from you budgets and if you can hear me, can you hear me bug? it might be some issues the. so getting lost, can you hear me? because we'd like to. yes. hi. i can hear you. hey, let's get a sense already from you. as we're watching here on our screens, the military pump and cetera, many of the day. but of course, people are still celebrating on a alex on the streets, or maybe not. maybe they're starting to get on with normal life again. but what's the sense out the on the streets of london off to this very sort of a historical unimpressive carnations ceremony. what are people doing now?

yeah, it's not, not just yet back to normally. if he goes to uh, going back and forth. so that's still, i think a lot of people trying to get to the mall, which is very new. well, we'll end up. i think they're trying to get the lives of the ross family on the balcony. the king on the balcony, you know, so there is to that he will then go out and read people to interact with people. then it's very, very crowded to us. we have people flocking back and forth. somebody have been uh, watching the ceremony. yeah. just me of, oh, we all pick a do the soc is an on viewing not from all of the also all the viewing platforms in central london. so it's still very, very busy. there's 3 separate off to off the floor going back and forth in london is just the central long. and it says really busy with people who want this somehow get it cleans up there all the time. they want to have a special day and they don't mind the right. lots of union jack umbrellas here on the move. so pretty good. so you.
