queen elizabeth now the longest reigning british monarch at 70 years on the throne. she's seen a lot. when she became queen on 1952, hawaii and alaska weren't yet u.s. states. but on this jubilee the queen making more history saying that camilla should be styled as queen when her son charles becomes king. in a statement she said, i am fortunate to have the steadfast and loving support of my family. i was blessed that in prince philip i had a partner willing to carry out the role of consort. and unselfishly make the sacrifices that go along with it. >> she wants everything to be clear and wants everything to be organized for when the moment comes. >> reporter: this is a formality. in uk law the wife of a king is always queen consort. but after all the drama of the diana years, many wondered just how camilla would fit into the firm. she's now technically the princess of wales, but she doesn't use that title out of respect for diana. and goes by the duchess of cornwall instead. elizabeth's intervention puts an end to any doubt about her future title. a statement from the couple

saying he and the duchess of cornwall are touched and honored by her majesty's words. it's taken 17 years to get to this point. when charles married camilla, in 2005, the palace had said she would be known as future consort. she was his unpopular mistress she was his unpopular mistress who the public thought ruined his marriage. camilla is now known for her dry wit. camilla has taken a particular interest in charities that support the elderly and she's been an important steadfast companion to the man who will one day be king. so, when the time comes for charles to be king, we'll likely have a double coronation. we haven't had one of those since all the way back in 1937. it's not happening any time soon. the queen is still very much hard at work. george? >> james longman, thanks very much.

let's bring in victoria murphy. start out with definitions. what's the difference between queen consort and queen? >> hi, there. good morning, george. there's a very important difference. at the moment we have queen elizabeth. she is our head of state. she is a queen. however, her husband was called a prince because if he had been called a king, then he would have been seen to outrank her. when a king is crowned, as prince charles will be, then his wife can be crowned alongside him as a queen, and she will be called a queen consort. now, her official title is queen consort, but normally we would just drop the consort in everyday speak and refer to her as queen. in the future we'll have queen camilla and after that queen kate or queen katherine. they will not hold the same positions within our constitution as our current queen does. >> this is a change from what was expected. prince charles said she would be known as princess consort. >> this is a huge change, george.

when they were married in 2005, things were very different. one of the reasons they got the marriage over the line with the. is because they said camilla would not be called queen. she would go by the downgraded title of queen consort. they never changed the law. legally she would always be queen. it's been clear to everyone that charles wanted her to be crowned alongside him as queen. the royal family have been reading the public mood on this. polls show her popularity has grown. i think cearly there was a feeling they felt they could get queen camilla over the line at this stage. however, in order to do that, they needed to have a statement. they previously said she would be princess consort. so that's what this statement from the queen has now done. it sealed the deal of queen >> kamil la. >> thank you. >> it appears that way. >> it does. >> in the beginning because of princess diana -- >> there was a little bit of a chill. >> not so much anymore. we turn to chinese champion peng shuai among the spectators at the beijing games following

international concern for her well-being after making sexual assault allegations against a chinese official which she now claims was all a misunderstanding. marcus moore joins us from china with the latest on that. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: robin, good morning. in the lead up to these games peng shuai's whereabouts and well-being were the focus of intense interest and scrutiny from across the globe. as the beijing winter olympics got into full swing this weekend, the tennis champion broke her silence. for months speculation swirled about the safety of peng shuai who seemingly disappeared from the public eye after accusing a former chinese official of sexual misconduct. the three-time olympian denied she ever made allegations in a french paper and a, quote, controlled interview. she answered questions in front of a chinese olympic official. she expressed thanks for the concern, but added her initial allegations were a big misunderstanding.

telling the newspaper, i would like to know why such concern. i never said anyone sexually assaulted me. the ioc met with her for dinner on saturday, and later attended a curling match. >> we're doing everything to ensure that is happy and i don't think it's for us to judge, just as it's not for you to judge either. >> why was the meeting not disclosed over the weekend? >> we released it when we thought it was the right time. obviously we're not doing this for the media cycle. we are doing it because we want to keep people informed and we're doing it because we want to support her. >> reporter: and this has been a very sensitive topic here in china. in fact, just this past week i was watching another u.s. network, while viewers in the state were seeing an update, the television in my hotel room switched to no signal. that programming did come back a few minutes later after that story aired. guys? >> very interesting. marcus, thank you.

ye responding, what do you mean by main provider? the unlocked in an exclusive interview -- >> don't have my daughter wearing lipstick on tiktok or on tiktok at all if i don't approve that, so i feel like it's poking ar trying to antagonize me. >> reporter: north and kim have a joint tiktok account, indicating it's managed by an adult. >> a judge looking at this will be looking at the content, is it appropriate? there are no hard and fast rules that a child 8 years old with parental supervision can't post a video on tiktok. >> reporter: this parenting expert emphasizes that in difficult conversations like this, putting the child first is key. any time disagreements are public like this, it's always going to be worse on the kid. >> it doesn't matter how famous you are, those kind of situations are private and they should be. always parents need to think

history, for supporting a country waging a genocide. >> reporter: according to chinese law, no one can hold dual citizenship, and it remains unclear if the san francisco native relinquished her passport. >> she seems to still be very confident in the decision she's made. >> reporter: gu isn't the only athlete making a switch. sarah escobar will represent ecuador, becoming the first female winter athlete to do so in the country's history. >> it's not unusual for an athlete to make the decision to compete for another country. i think if eileen had made the decision to compete for a different country, we might not be here having the same conversation. >> reporter: guys, while switching citizenship is actually quite common in sport, eileen is so high profile, the spotlight remains on her. with at least 23 sponsorships to her name, it's not going anywhere any time soon. guys? >> 23 sponsorships already. maggie, thanks so much.

he would be so thrilled to know that everyone was thinking about him. >> you have that sense of humor like he did. we saw what you wrote on instagram. >> i do. i really do. >> humor helps us so much. you wrote on instagram that you both never missed the chance to say i love you. can you tell us the last time that you all reached out to one another, what was said? >> yeah. i mean, we have a "full house" family group chat that goes back and forth. it's missing a lot without bob in it now. the last individual text between he and i, i think he did an episode of my podcast "never thought i would say this." we had been talking about something about -- i don't know. i sent him something to promote the episode or whatever. i was like thanks so much, bob. love you. he said love you too. anything for you, jodie. always. that was just how bob was. you would say i love you. he would say love you more.

you could keep going, but he was always going to have the last word. >> what a friendship, 35 years. you met bob on the set of "full house" when you were just 5 years old. what lessons did he teach you that you passed down to your own kids? >> one of the things that i learned from bob and, you know, even now in having to walk through his death and everything is how to laugh through some of the most painful moments of your life. it has been something that has carried me through so many times and so many things in my life, you know, bob had a lot of loss and a lot of grief throughout his life with his sisters passing, his parents and, you know, just a whole host of things, but he never stopped laughing. he never lost the ability to laugh at himself, to laugh at his situation, you know, to fun of something that would otherwise feel like it was going to break you. i definitely do that now, whether it's appropriate sometimes or not. i make jokes about things and that was bob.

he would joke about something and you would be like oh, my god, i can't believe you just said that. at the same time you were like i'm so glad somebody said it. i loved that about bob. >> we heard a lot of those stories lately about the jokes and the timing of them. you continue to make people laugh as well. you have a rom-com coming out. >> yes. >> a romantic comedy. it kind of gives it away the title "just swipe." is this a modern-day take on how everybody is dating these days? >> it may perhaps be a little bit about online dating. we shot it during the pandemic. we also -- you know, that's part of the story line, is going through the pandemic and meeting people online, and how do you really get to know somebody or date somebody when you're only meeting them through a screen? that's been all of our lives for the past couple years.

i was actually excited to be able to bring an element of that reality to it and laugh a little bit about it, the situation we've all been in. yeah, it's "just swipe." is it right or left? i don't know. i've never done online dating. >> you don't need to know. you're engaged. >> i am. >> two days later you celebrated a milestone birthday. that's quite a week, jodie. >> yes, it was a big week. i turned 40. i got engaged. you know, of course it was fairly soon after bob passed. i was like do i get to celebrate stuff? i thought bob would want nothing more than for me to be happy. d. my life is so beautiful and wonderful. my family is healthy and happy. i have an amazing fiance. my kids are good. i'm working. life really -- i'm incredibly grateful. >> jodie, that is so great to hear, your energy, your humor. it's been great to chat with you. congrats on everything you've

got going. we'll see you soon. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> we want you to know "just swipe" starts streaming on demand tomorrow. is it left or right? if it's a yes, which way do you go? we're right back. we're going to figure this out. >> you're asking us? >> really. i don't know.

can't take it away. >> we don't talk about hip-hop cyphers enough on "gma." i think we start doing that. let's head to resilience translates to joy how? >> absolutely. black folks are alchemists. we transform the pain and the suffering, right? think about every major american genre. it's birthed from our pain. that's a resilience that says these things are happening, but we can bounce back. >> and we want everyone to know the book is called "black joy." it's out now. i have to admit the first thing i did was flip to the chapter about e 40 and how he inspired you, and i encourage everybody
