fox news sunday. i had this front row seat to history over the last 15 years . now a proud sunday morning tradition continues. don't mention miss. she hosts fox news sunday when you can't watch, listen, get the latest news business and news headlines on sirius xm any time anywhere. fox news radio on sirius xm america is listening. >> well, the kingdom of great britain prepares to usher in a new era. queen elizabeth the second great britain's longest serving monarch, has passed away at the age of ninety six . and while her loyal subjects grieve, they also rejoice over a remarkable legacy that stretched seven decades. she was indeed an iconic figure on the world stage who ruled

with devotion to her country and as matriarch of a distinguished dynasty and now, in accordance with the royal line of succession, queen elizabeth's oldest son assumes the throne as king charles , the third, a title he has spent a lifetime preparing for. >> today, the crown passes, as it has done for more than a thousand years to our new monarch, our new head of state, his majesty king charles , the third with the king's family. we mourn the loss of his mother and as we mourn, we must come together as a people to support him. to help him by the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all. >> and hello, everyone. i'm trace gallagher in los angeles with continuing live coverage of the death of queen elizabeth . it is midnight here on the west coast, 8:00 a.m. in great britain. the people of england waking to

a new but dark day on their queen's historic reign has come to a peaceful end. and while it was inevitable, her passing has left the commonwealth in shock. most britons today have never lived under another palace ruler. this morning, mourners from around the globe are heading to london's buckingham palace to pay their respects. a tribute to the legacy of the woman who oversaw 70 years would command far-reaching love and admiration while confronting regal challenges and personal tragedies. over the next hour. >> we will continue our look at the life of queen elizabeth here, reaction from palace watchers and political leaders and examine what lies ahead for great britain's historic monarchy. >> let's begin this hour's extended coverage with senior foreign affairs correspondent amy kellogg. >> she's live in london, where mourners from all nations have been gathering since yesterday to pay tribute to a beloved queen.

>> amy. good morning. hi , trace. good morning. it's a fitting gray morning for the day, but it's going to be a busy day. and i don't think that the weather will detract. those who want to pay their respects from coming out and gathering around buckingham palace and perhaps other sites in london. as i said, it will be a very busy day. the members of parliament will be meeting for a marathon session at noon, trace that's expected to go well there, allotting 10 hours for it and the parliamentarians will pay their tributes to queen elizabeth . the second bells will the bells will toll at st. paul's cathedral at windsor castle. and at westminster abbey at midday. and then prime minister, the new prime minister, liz truss, will meet the new king, king charles , the third and that same liz truss, as we know, trace, because we've played her remarks, but they were very moving, calling queen elizabeth the rock upon

which modern britain was built. she embodied longevity in this country. it's been said that she was the spirit of the nation. and into that extent, it is going to be a very difficult farewell for people who are attached to her, what she stands for that the consistency and the constant that was queen elizabeth over these 70 years through so many different stages of history and ups and downs. the mourners came out yesterday as soon as word was released from the palace. news came out around midday at the queen's health was deteriorating. and then we saw of course, those pictures of family members looking very grim, making their way to balmoral, scotland, where the queen was in her castle, where she spends the summer each year and she'd extended that stay for a bit of

time until the end because she's been slowing down and it's harder for her to get around. and when the new prime minister, when she constructed the new prime minister to form a government, it was there at balmoral castle where that took place. also, prime minister, the former prime minister, boris johnson, traveled to balmoral to give her his resignation slowing down. yes, we've seen that over the last year. and i'm hoping that you can see some images of her doing that during the jubilee, even though she was having trouble getting around. there's a there's a picture of her cutting the cake to celebrate her jubilee. she's got her walking stick in one hand, the trademark handbag slung over another. and she's, you know, digging into that cake even up until her 80s, at least through her 80s, possibly even later, she would maintain she would carry out about 300 engagements a year. when you think about it, that is an awful lot. that's nearly one every day. and some days were jam packed.

the queen's er her eldest son , charles , is now king as we've been saying. king charles the third and the week will be full of events. britain is known for its pomp and ceremony, although will be a number of events and meetings and rituals that he will partake in to sort of finalize his his ascension to the throne. the coronation will happen sometime later, as much as we understand. but this is the man who waited his whole life to be king. it's what remains to be seen, what level of energy he will have for that role. now that he's 73 years old. but most immediately, trace, we will be hearing from king charles , the third in a televised speech to the nation later today. and you know that all eyes and ears will be on those remarks. trace. >> yeah, they will, indeed. and amy, i think it's notable that you have spent really most of your career as a foreign correspondent in the city you are in right now, among

other places in you in those journeys as a journalist. got a chance to meet queen elizabeth the second. what was that like and what were the circumstances? >> yes, trace well, a lot of people had the honor of meeting a queen elizabeth the second, but the circumstances were it was a party for americans. was it a reception? not a party was a reception for americans living and working in london. and i remember it would have been 15 years go . so she was in her early 80s and she had such incredible poise and such incredible patience greeting each person in that room. and it was at st james's palace. and i remember trace thinking, this is amazing. and also thinking, wow, she has a special sparkle for the men in the room. nothing wrong with that. but she really lit up. she lit up on many occasions, particularly when she was interacting with some of

the male visitors. >> but my my one of the really memories that remains is how how strong she was, because to be on your feet for that long standing air, interacting with people, each one having to focus on each one and say something or listen intently, that's not easy for anyone. and this and this was a woman at the time who was in her 80s . and i was just seeing that up close and personal with something you see clips of her on tv, but when you're in a room with her for an hour and a half and she's still going strong, you think this is a very special individual? >> yeah, special indeed. great coverage. great story, amy. thank you . thank you . trace. >> well, as people in the united kingdom mourn the loss of queen elizabeth , us lawmakers are paying their respects to her majesty as well . >> with us now, fox news correspondent kevin corke with reaction from washington. kevin , good morning. good morning to you , trace. speaker nancy pelosi called the queen a pillar of

leadership, someone who guided the u.k. through, quote, great turbulence. no question about that. senate majority make that minority leader mitch mcconnell also said the queen's reign was never about her or her feelings. and that he offered was a reflection of her sterling character. >> she presided over a period of historic strengthening of the alliance between our nation's that has changed the course of world history. for the better, for the better, indeed. meantime, senate majority leader chuck schumer said elizabeth was the type of leader truly needed in these hard times. >> she was a rock. the living embodiment of the virtues that lie at the core of the nation. >> she so proudly led . i dare say we will never see a leader quite like her for as long as we live. >> tremendous reverence over there on capitol hill.

also, the top republican on the senate foreign relations committee, jim rich, said this about the queen. he said she guided both her country and her family through troubled times. listen, great britain is a is a country that's about as close to america as any country that there is . and so their loss is our loss. she was very good to america. so obviously, our condolences. all americans condolences go out to her family and for that matter, to all people that are citizens of great britain and citizens of the world. in 1991, queen elizabeth became the first british monarch to speak to a joint meeting of congress. prime minister winston churchill, you may recall, did so back in nineteen forty one . as for the queen, she told lawmakers in congress that, yes, congress and parliament were twin pillars of

our civilization's. >> a significant part of your social contract is written down in your constitution, rests on custom and will. the spirit behind base, however, is precisely the same. it is the spirit of democracy. >> now these ideals are clear enough, but they must never be taken for granted. >> must never be taken for granted. >> let the will of the people reign now. when the house meets on tuesday, choice, it will actually pass a bereavement resolution and then adjourn in her honor. a fitting tribute to a great leader. >> driss. yeah, it's funny because last hour, kevin , you and i were talking about the fact that queen elizabeth seemed to have this fondness for ronald reagan when you brought up the fact that they were both loved horses. right. well, four minutes later, this was out prompting. and i didn't tell anybody.

as we see this picture of queen elizabeth and ronald reagan on horses, i have no idea where it was. >> but you called it early and you gave us a great heads up. and that's exactly the relationship they had given, the tremendous relationship. >> and , you know, there will be people over the next several days trace that. we'll talk about her relationship and reflections of her relationship with american presidents of all varieties. now, remember, she is seen so many 14 come and go. she met them all, save for lbj during her time as the monarch . and it was interesting because while each one had a unique relationship with the queen, certainly in my experience in covering the white house, i certainly saw that. but what was also fascinating, i think as an american was, again, that deep, abiding relationship, that connectivity between our countries, you could see it not just in the language and in the history in the traditions, but indeed and the leader of the british empire. >> yeah, great point. nice work, kevin .

good to see you . >> thank you . you too, my friend. up next with the death of queen elizabeth , king charles now has the crown, but he's not allowed to wear it just yet. we'll explain all the pomp and circumstance straight ahead. >> all my life time, she's been the queen. that's been it. so now to think that charles is now king, so we come away having a queen and go back to england now with a king of an age where she's always been my queen, she's always been the queen. when i was born, she was she was queen. so, yes, she'd been a long time . there's a growing movement designed to confuse children about who they are. >> this is transgenderism. all your problems can be solved by changing your body. ways can be girls and girls can be boys.

and now at pch .com. welcome back to our continuing coverage. and for more on the legacy of britain's longest serving monarch, let's bring in one of our colleagues with personal experience covering the royals . >> fox news correspondent gillian turner joins us now. and gillian, the queen undertook many visits to the white house during her 70 year reign. >> you got to witness one of them correct? i did trace very fortunate. i was a white house staffer back in 07. at the national security council when queen elizabeth came there to meet with president bush. i had worked on at that time prep for dozens of head of state visits from foreign

leaders, but none of them were as eagerly anticipated at the white house as this one , not even the pope. so you don't need to have worked there at the white house to know that president bush's love and esteem for the monarch ran very deep. they had a rapport with one another that was evident to the entire country. >> take a listen. mr president wondered whether i should start this to saying when i was here in 1776, don't go over our six days in the united states . we have much enjoyed the chance to dwell on the history of the relationship between our two countries. as well as celebrating its present strength and vitality. >> the two of them embodied the special nature of the u.s. uk relationship. they were the living and breathing examples of it. the president, president bush, always said no one understood the burden and the privilege of public service like queen elizabeth trace. >> yeah, he was right.

and what about her other visits to the u.s. between nineteen fifty two and twenty seven ? >> well, there are a whole lot of them. she first visited washington when she was a princess back in nineteen fifty one with her husband, prince philip. they that time stayed with president harry truman and his family at the blair house. it's just across the street from the white house, which was under renovation at that time. then six years later, she returned as queen for her first visit as the monarch. she stayed for her first time inside the white house. that was with president dwight eisenhower and first lady mamie eisenhower in nineteen fifty seven . her last visit, trace, was then in twenty seven , the one we just talked about, where she visited president bush. >> mm . >> nicely done, gillian. good stuff. thank you . you well, king charles the third is old enough to remember when queen elizabeth , the second was still a princess. the seventy three year old firstborn son of the queen and prince philip now succeeding his mother as the head of the commonwealth. >> born in nineteen forty eight , he is the oldest person

to assume the british throne. but charles will be king without a crown, at least for now. >> here to explain why, dr. markham is the author of prince harry the inside story. >> of the former royal editor of the sun. duncan , great to have you on. i mean, i was kind of reading where, you know, when queen elizabeth took the crown in nineteen fifty two in february of that year, the coronation wasn't until june another four plus months later, it could be even longer for king charles . explain how that how that is . >> yes. i mean, obviously, it's one of those strange situations, really, because the queen reigned for so long. there is quite literally nobody in any newsroom or even in parliament. politicians that were there the last time the country, britain had to do this. so we're in uncharted territory. you're quite right. i mean, the queen effectively became queen queen sorry, when her father died and she was away in kenya.

but then there were, as you say, several months before coronation. so we are sort of waiting. we know prince charles is going to make a sort of keynote statement later today. and i'm hoping, you know, i think we're all hoping that there'll some indication of of when actually the country will come together for his coronation. and one of those huge national events, the frankly, no one , at least two generations has any memory of our experience of . >> yeah, it's all fascinating when the actual crown is given is placed, where is the crown from, duncan ? >> i mean, is it from is it from decades or centuries past? where is it newly made up? >> do you know where it's from? yeah, well, i mean, the thing about the crown is that obviously it's not only where the crown itself is from, but it's all the jewels and the diamonds. it make it up. and all of those have significance. a large diamond from from

india, sort of the link to the commonwealth. but obviously before that, the colonies and the empire. so i had a a lovely story last night on one of the many programs, but about one of the ladies in waiting on the day of the queen's coronation all those years ago. and apparently as soon as she got out of westminster abbey, she took this heavy crown off and say, oh, thank goodness, that's off. and actually, young prince charles , little tiny boy at the time actually tried to pick up the crown and tried to lift it onto his head. but, of course, it was far too heavy. so it struck me that here we are. seventy years old. almost to the day on , and prince charles will finally get to put that crown on his head. we'll have to wait and see. just when that will happen. >> but it could be several months away. yeah, of all the tributes and the pomp and circumstance we will see over the next eleven, twelve days.

>> duncan , what's the most touching? what's the most telling? is it the actual funeral? and the outpouring of respect from around the world? >> yes, it's one it is literally as as the old expression goes, the queen is dead. long live the king. so it's a it's a period now that we've entered, which is one of a great national loss on my way into the studios this morning through london. honestly, the i mean, i'm not trying to be dramatic, genuinely. there is a strange atmosphere in the capital , and i'm sure that's the same all over the country. a sense that the nation's grandmother, the constant the woman who you know, my dad told me stories last night, the country is reminiscing through the generations. my dad told me when he was at school as a little boy, he came out of his classroom and the headmaster ran down the corridor shouting, the king is dead. long live the queen. that's how my father heard the royal family had changed

leadership. and that was such a long time ago. stories, people that have met the queen in the 60s, 70s, even my own daughter, who two years go kud, as many school children do to wave flags. the queen visited her primary school, one of the most special memories for her and for my father, who's in his 80s, one of the most special memories for him. i can't think of another human ,certainly in british history that has had that kind of long impact and legacy and being part of being british. so at the moment, it's shock and sadness and it's fondness for for the queen and really appreciating just how incredible her achievement was to rule that long to be more popular, arguably on the day she died than the day she actually was was made queen. imagine four presidents.

i mean, imagine eisenhower. you mentioned president that can keep popular for 70 years. they're unusual. we certainly haven't had a prime minister like that. britain's queen is a very special person. it's just going to be lots and lots of moments now. the focus will inevitably start to shift towards prince charles , king charles sorry, and the king will be how will he continue his mother's legacy? and then, of course, his coronation. >> we're going to end months of this. >> i'd love to hear these stories all day, duncan . i really to you are. but they're giving me the wrapper. but i will say we talked to a woman earlier who said she didn't really even support the monarchy. >> but but today she's heartbroken. >> so it's it's amazing. duncan , thank you for your time. great stories. great insight. i appreciate it. meantime, coming up, queen elizabeth's death shaking up the world as the kingdom passes to king charles , leaving him with the title of britain's oldest king to take the throne. >> she's always been reliable.

figure in my life, always been on monarch. and it really, you know, stop feeling in your you don't know what to say. so it's hard to believe it's like she's been obviously queen my whole life. i thought she was fantastic. and like such a role model for everybody. and foot wrong. >> did she. great feats deserved. great feat. help get them with you, tenzer. the only topical prescription treatment indicated to help reduce diabetic nerve pain of the ft. great feats, the everyday ordinary things that seem extraordinary when your feet feel better to tenzer is different. one thirty minute application can provide up to three months of diabetic foot pain relief, and it works with or without other pain medications. castanza can only be applied by your health care provider teutons. it can cause severe irritation of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory tract and skin. patients may experience pain

the long time monarch after their meeting last year during her seventy years of service. queen elizabeth the second met with thirteen american presidents. >> with us here on set, fox news correspondent marianne rafferty. for more on the queen's lasting friendship with the united states. >> yeah, think about how long mrs seven decades of visits with american presidents from harry truman to joe biden. the queen rarely involved herself in politics. but she did make sure the relationship between great britain and its closest allies stayed strong. in nineteen fifty seven , she met president dwight eisenhower and went on to meet with almost every us president for the next seventy years. that meant in inviting sitting presidents and their families to buckingham palace for handshakes, dancing and raising a glass. the public loved seeing the queen interacting with american presidents, and she knew the importance of these visits during a trip to the george w. bush white house in twenty seven for a fourth state dinner. >> she said, quote, if the atlantic unites, not divides us , ours is a

partnership always to be reckoned with in the defense of freedom and the spread of prosperity. that is the lesson of my lifetime administrations in your country and governments in mine may come and go, but united we must always remain. and president ronald reagan visited windsor castle back in nineteen eighty two, and the two maintained a long friendship. well, after he left office, former president barack obama and wife michelle visited buckingham palace early on in his presidency. saying the queen gave them a warm welcome and who can forget this picture right here? president donald trump appearing to greet the queen with a fist bump. >> did you or did you not? the world wants to know. fist bump with the queen? >> i did not, but i had a great relationship. and the only president, queen elizabeth , didn't meet with was lyndon johnson. no word on exactly why that is just neither one ever since the other, an invitation. but they did send letters to each other, apparently. yeah. just couldn't hook up.

couldn't make carter. they can be great to have you on. >> thank you . well, with the passing of queen elizabeth , the second her first born son , charles is now king charles was the king in waiting. he was for longer than anyone else in the history. of the united kingdom, making him the oldest monarch to ever assume the british throne. king charles appears eager to forge his own path while also honoring his mother's legacy and demonstrating a profound impact on the world stage. >> as she did. >> with us now from london with the profile of britain's new monarch, royal reporter for "newsweek", james crawford smith. james , thank you so much for coming on . we appreciate it. we've talked a lot about this, how prince prince charles , now king charles tends to be a little more political, in fact, a lot more political than queen elizabeth . do you think he will continue to do that or will he be a little more reticent to weigh in on political topics? >> yes, you're totally right. prince charles has throughout

his seventy years waiting to take the throne and been incredibly vocal about social and various causes that affect british, the british public. so it's got into some trouble over the years. i think it's very fair to say and it's caused a little bit of embarrassment that has never been reflected onto the queen because she keeps silent. charles didn't have that luxury, so he has had to do something in the seventies. he's been waiting to be king. but in the last kind of storm , criticisms, it has been let known from the palace that when he took the throne, as he has now done, he would behave in the kind of model that was set by his mother, become more reserved and follow the line that has kind of been expected of monarchs, which is to kind of just follow the government line and not to say too much, not to open yourself to criticism and to remain this kind of figurehead for everybody. meantime, king charles , prince

charles has said this. king charles , we wonder if will he will kind of complete this has said he would like to slim down the monarchy. what does that mean exactly? does that mean pushing people out? what do you think that means? >> so the important thing to remember is when the queen became the queen in nineteen fifty two, the royal family was quite extensive. there. aunts and uncles and cousins who were all undertaking royal duties. and as the as that generation died, their children took on royal duties to say, we have the dukes of gloucester, the dukes of kent and their wives take undertake duties. we have charles's siblings. we have charles's two sons and their wives. you all undertake duties. now, one of the big criticisms of the monarchy is that the very expensive and the civil list, which is the official amount of money given to the monarch to run the royal family, is in constant

criticism for being too large , especially as britain enters cost of living crisis, which we're definitely in at the moment. so, charles , is always let it be known that he intends to streamline the monarchy. and what that means is he's probably not going to say not working anymore at his cousins. you're not going to work any more to his siblings. but what it does mean is that their children will no longer be undertaking royal duties, be acting on behalf of the monarch. and what it probably means as well is that with princes, that prince andrew out of the picture, we really only have princess anne and prince edward, who are his siblings, to undertake duties on their spouses. princess husband doesn't take any duties. and we have william and kate. so it's already streamlined. essentially, you can't streamline it much more . but when those cousins stop working, they won't be replaced. >> yeah, it is a bit more streamlined than i was back in the day. james crawford smith, thank you for your time. we appreciate, sir.

>> great. thank you very much. well, among her many regal accomplishments, we list queen elizabeth's longevity as ruler of the commonwealth. she was crowned in nineteen fifty two at the age of twenty five following the sudden death of her father, king george . the sixth she served for so long that nine in ten living people were born after elizabeth became queen more than 70 years ago, making her loss all that more difficult for so many to grasp. >> it's the only queen you've ever known a legend. she was an amazing woman. it's a terrible thing. it's almost like losing my own mother and it's right up there with that feeling. >> and with us now with her reaction as journalist and royal expert kenzie sheffield. and, you know, the whole thing is , as we just talked about, king charles the third. i mean, this is a tough act to follow. this is a very difficult position for him to move into. >> yes, i was just admiring

your ability to jump right into the king charles verbiage. it's going to take me a minute. i'm probably going to be in a year or two before i stop saying prince charles is what i'm so used to. >> yeah, it really is . but i wonder, are the people or do they they automatically accept the new monarch. is that the kind of way it is you in the uk? do do you feel like that's the way it's going to be ? >> or do you think there's going to be a little bit of hesitancy before they're like just like you are prince charles is now the king. give me you give me a minute here. >> yeah, i agree it it's going to take some time for them to get used to a king charles regency. there's comfort when it comes to queen elizabeth . she was somebody that you watched from afar and you admired. people just don't get that same feeling with prince charles . yes, but we also saw so much scandal with prince charles in his youth. i mean, people were really

divided and devastated over a separation from princess diana. and most recently, we've had the cash or access scandals. and i do think people are going to be a little more critical of prince charles because he's had some of those missteps, missteps that his mother never had. and i just think that they're going to test him a little bit harder. yeah. what about camilla? what do you what do you think? we haven't really spoken much about her. you know, the queen consort. what about acceptance for her? do you think that's natural or is there still some is are still some bitterness that's been kind of fed into over the years? >> well, i can tell you , i'm old enough to remember when prince charles , now king charles , married camilla and they promised people that she was going to be they said, don't worry, she's not going to be queen. she's going to be princess consort. they were trying to convince us that they should be allowed to be married after the horrible and tragic death of princess diana.

well, what we found out later was that we were lied to. that was just what they were telling us , though, that we would accept their marriage and they go about their lives. but their ultimate objective was to always make her queen consort. this is one of those chess moves when it comes to the royal family that i'm always a little disappointed in the front. be honest with people. it's harder to swallow when you lied. but she has earned her place there. she has been quiet. she's played the game. she's played the long game. and i do believe she's here to replace the queen consort. >> is this time? yeah, it's interesting because you have some people talking today saying, you know, queen elizabeth was was really unifying and they're saying, well, king charles , you know, for him to be unified, he can't even unify his own family. i mean, they're still some splits. and you have you know, you have soon harry and meghan will go back to california and there will still be that rift. they come back to california. we've got, i think, at least

not, i think, at least nine more episode of meghan's podcast that has already been recorded. those were pre it. so we have no idea what she said about the british royal family. up until then. i wonder if spotify had a strategy session yesterday. let me have to repeat anything negative about the royal family out areas. got a memoir coming out. you're absolutely right. he it's not just a rift, but there is a potential flood on the horizon of negativity towards the royal family. and that's something they really need to be concerned about. >> yeah, i think that's that's a very good point. >> kids who should feel great to have you on. thank you for coming. >> thank you , sir. well, so her time spanned fifteen uk prime ministers. >> we will continue our continuing coverage of the death of queen elizabeth as it comes as a massive shock in her subjects. >> one of the last public appearances, appearances she

the arc breastfeeds. well, the united kingdom dealing with two major changes of the guard in just the past three days. liz truss was appointed prime minister by the queen on tuesday. it would be the queen's last known official duty. and now king charles prepares to be crowned at the age of seventy three , while britons mourn the loss of their queen, many remain optimistic about the future of the commonwealth. >> it will be different. but then there's a new generation coming on that will no, no different. the same as we knew , no different when we were growing up. so is queen elizabeth . now it's who is going to be king charles . a third say it would just go on period of reduction and then it'll all be fine with us now is the former head of politics and communications for britain's consulate general, shannon felton. >> spence, shannon, thank

you for coming on that woman. we just saying, well, it'll go on. it'll all be fine. what are you i know you've been doing interviews all day long. what are you telling people? what do you think the biggest changes of the monarchy are going to be ? >> well, i think that the crown does carry on , and that's sort of one of the most remarkable things about the monarchy is its thousand year legacy. and queen elizabeth will have been preparing prince charles his entire life to really step into this role for the past ten years. and definitely in the past, i would say three or four, we have seen her really starting to slot him into some of those more visible public roles that she would normally take on . and that was all in preparation for us to get used to seeing him in that position, in the sovereign position, so that when the time come, which it inevitably would be , we would be prepared to to see him as the next sovereign. >> do you think she was preparing him as well by saying when he would speak out on things like climate change

or some of these other political topics? >> she would say, hey, knock it off, we don't do that. >> oh, i don't play those? well, absolutely, because not only was she his boss, but she was also his mother. so, of course, she would have had opinions on how to how he should behave. my friend kinzie was talking to you earlier and she was saying sort of there has been dips in public opinion with charles over over the years and that he has been slightly more political. and i think one thing that i would just add there is the queen became queen and she was quite young. she was in her twenties. she didn't have the freedom that prince charles . no, king charles did have. he is the oldest. he is the oldest prince of wales to assume assume the crown of the monarchy. so he you know, he had many, many years sort of to have have the freedom to really develop that sense of that point of view that he will now bring his

position. >> right. it's fascinating because, as you say, he's seventy three years old. and even if and we hope we hope the best for for king charles , even if he lives to be as old as his father. ninety nine . >> that still means prince william would be a fairly young king. absolutely. >> and absolutely. and just as charles was prepared for this role by the best and the queen was prepared for her role by the best, her parents, william has been prepared for this since day one . he knows what he's doing, but, of course, you know, times change and 70 years on the throne was quite a long time. and charles will have his own way of doing things that are will it will be steeped in tradition and protocol and diplomacy and all of it and dignity and all of those sort ethos that the that the queen brought to the role. but he will leave his own fingerprints on it. >> and william will , too, when it's his time. yeah, we talk about william. we talk about charles . there's harry, who's been you know, he's had a bit of

a contentious relationship with his family over the past couple of years. do you think it's important for king charles going forward that his family unite and that he bring harry back into the fold ? >> what i think is important is that we get some clarity on harry and meghan's role. i think at the moment they still use their titles of duke and duchess of sussex. and just this week, they sort of embarked on their own unsanctioned sort of faux royal tour of the uk and germany. and it makes it quite confusing, particularly for foreign audiences like americans, but also across the world, to sort of understand how they fit in and whether they fit in and sort of what that looks like. and so i think that that was a question that the queen had some hesitancy to really answer and to put some boundaries around. and i wonder if charles will take a different approach. >> do you think the upcoming funeral of the queen will be as remarkable and as monu? >> mental and as emotional as people say it will be?

oh, yes, absolutely. i think that in recent memory, we remember that twenty five years ago with princess diana's funeral and the surprise across the world, the outpouring of sorrow and mourning and grief from the british people and across the world just shut down the city for several days. and now consider that this is actually their beloved queen . it is going to be monumental. and the magnitude compared to our memory of diana's funeral versus this is just there's going to be no comparison in pop. >> shannon, shannon felton spends great stuff. >> thank you so much for coming on . thank you . and finally, we wrap up the hour with two more images demonstrating the respect and love queen elizabeth commanded worldwide. this is , of course, new york's iconic empire state building illuminated overnight in purple, a somber nod to the passing of legendary head of state. and over in france, the city of lights switched off its usually bright and twinkling eiffel tower for the night nations

everywhere reminding the people of great britain that the world mourns with them. and those are tributes that are happening for queen elizabeth . >> the second all around the world. >> that does it for us . fox and friends first with carly shimkus and todd pyrrho starts next. i'm trey

>> the world is honoring the life and legacy of queen elizabeth this morning after britain's longest reigning monarch who served her country passed away yesterday at the age of 96. you're watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. she was only 25 years ol
