7:36 am
critics say these rules punish borrowers with higher credit scores. if you have a fair credit score of 659 on a $300,000 mortgage, you are now going to save nearly $4,000 in one time fees. but if you have a good credit score of 750, you put the same amount down on that same home, you're going to be paying $375 more in fees than you would have before this rule change. now, there are a lot of factors that ultimately determine your closing costs and the bottom line is still that the more money you put down, the higher credit, the better deal you're gonna get. michael? >> wow. elizabeth, that's shocking. surprising. raise your eyebrows as to why. going to turn now to the coronation. charles will officially be crowned king of england this weekend. we are learning new details about the ceremony. james longman and maggie rulli are live in london. and wales. we'll start with you, james. you are at buckingham palace.

8:14 am
not a 2008 style financial crisis like what we saw previously, but an issue with access to mortgages, access to credit. when banks face issues like this, because of the risk they took on, consumers who want to do more banking, who want to take on a loan to get a car, buy a house, take out a loan to expand a business, can face a more uphill battle because banks are tightening up. they're restricting some of that lending. so that could be an issue. so could some of the regulations that come along. that could end up in more fees down the road. but again, these are not things that have materialized yet, george. there's things that could happen down the road. the thing we know is that interest rates are rising. those credit card debts are going up whether or not any of this is going on in the background. the best thing you can do for yourself is pay off that credit card debt if you're in a position to do so because it will continue to get more expensive, george. >> thanks, rebecca. >> she has a great way of

8:18 am
>> are there typical signs that you may be going through it? >> let's go through the standard gyn teaching, if you will, or facts about menopause. number one, average age of menopause in this country is 51. it can start as early as 45 or even earlier. perimenopause can start ten years before menopause actually begins. our definition is one year without a menstrual period. in terms of the signs and symptoms literally, robin, head to toe. we heard some of them in the piece. bleeding patterns can change, hot flashes. mood swings, skin changes, hair change, weight changes. it is so pervasive and so distinctive woman to woman, that we tend to say to a woman 40 and up, if you are experiencing something new, something different, think hormonal, think perimenopause or menopause first. that's how diverse and broad the signs and symptoms are. >> think of that first. okay. because it's so broad.
8:19 am
we heard from the author in eva's piece some suggestions when you're having these symptoms, especially when it comes to hot flashes. >> i think the first thing we have to remember is hormone replacement therapy is and should be an option on the table for vast majority of women. women should talk to their gynecologist about that. there are numerous nonhormonal prescription medications that work very effectively to deal with hot flashes. then we heard in the piece wellness behaviors. exercise, avoiding alcohol, caffeine, spicy food, which for some reason, can trigger the onset of hot flashes. i want to be crystal clear. hot flashes get all the attention. we talked about how many other signs and symptoms there are. just imagine having to go about your day to day life, whether it's in the home or work place or socially and becoming completely drenched, red, hot, wet, sweaty? that's not consistent or compatible with years and years
8:20 am
considering the average menopause symptoms can last seven years. >> unfortunately, i didn't have to imagine it. you say imagine. hormone replacement therapy. you brought that up. >> yeah. >> you know there's some people who are a little weary of that. >> that's right. first of all, if you go back to 2002 and wih data, what we refer to as the shot heard around the world. when data was boiled down to a misleading headline hormones bad. hormones dangerous. now there are oncologists who actually, in evaluating the data both past and present, really find that most data suggests and shows conclusively that estrogen does not increase the risk of breast cancer. when we talk about other conditions that affect women, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia, cause more deaths than breast cancer and there are some real benefits to hormones. women have to discuss this with
8:21 am
their gynecologist. >> what if a woman is watching saying, i'm just not prepared for this? >> i think what's excited now, women are living to 80s, 90s. vibrant women in their 50s are talking about this, normalizing it. it is not about medicalizing a natural phenomenon. look at the attention we give pregnancy, puberty. this deserves the same amount of attention, socially, medically, societally, commercially. just keep going down the list. we can't talk about it enough. men have to be involved in this conversation also. >> you're going to have a conversation continuing about this on gma. >> gma3 the entire month, we will be talking about things dealing with menopause that you haven't heard before on all those levels. that should be really good. >> ali wentworth is joining us today? >> she sure is. >> appreciate that, jen. ginger? >> i will be all ears, jen and robin. thank you very much. let's look at salt lake city,

8:24 am
but all business and visibly preoccupied with something more important than me. it would foil the efforts the palace is making to solidify camilla as queen. jetson writing that while diana took a path that led only to tragedy, charles biggest objective was the transformation of camilla parker bowles from a secret into anointed queen of the united kingdom. >> if the marriage was successful, this would have been a major event. diana at 61, 62, would still have been this incredibly glamorous jackie o figure. if diana was being crowned, everybody in the world would be watching. >> reporter: news of the affair rocked the monarchy and made them wildly unpopular. since then, he writes an honest account of camilla's offense would acknowledge the king's past and country's future was close behind a long success of creative palace statements. since their marriage in 2005 their images have been facilitated, the queen even giving her blessing before she
8:25 am
passed. and camilla be known as queen consort. not everyone is convinced. for many loyals all this rejoicing may feel slightly unsettling. a romance that conquered everything in its path is bound to have some misgivings. the palace take is that charles and camilla share an enduring love story. that's not a take that everybody agrees with. guys? >> all right. thank you, james. looking forward to seeing you later this week. coming up charles' journey from prince to king. we are going to be live in wales and bring that to you. we'll be right back. right back.
