and i think that you only have to look at the hegr in particular to realize how far this country has come and i think yes, it was steeped in symbolism and there was also part and pageantry that you would expect with the coronation. i was particularly impressed by the way that the kings conducted himself. he emerged i think someone -- somewhat different after the experience and i think he will emerge from being the king after the death of the queen. he will say, must be thinking now. i have got the crown on my head. and really impressed me was the inclusivity of the animation, the submission which can celebrate his diversity and the 21st century in and i think that was very, very important. also i think that that message was loud and clear. there were women involved in the major roles in that coronation. there were black faces and there were white faces and a lot of

smiling faces. ig is only just new to e j. a lot of young people in this country are fairly apathetic about monarchy and the system of monarchy. >> janai: that is what we want to ask about next. victoria, were there any signals about what we can expect from king charles' ray moving forward? we heard a lot about inclusivity today. do you think that will be part of it? >> victoria: absolutely and i think he sent a strong message with the correlation. -- coronation. totally different to 1953. sending a very strong message there that this was an opportunity to showcase the modern britain. that would was very important as what was that they added something in at the beginning that he said upfront which was i'm not here to be served. i'm here to serve. really kind of orders? this idea that he wants to be humble. he wants to listen. and finally, i think seeing all of that family on the balcony

there, that was pivotal. he is going to be doing this with the support of his family. >> and the new prince and princess of wales will have a different role in the monarchy. what hence of that did we see this morning? >> robert: i think william kissed his dad he responded, thanks, william. he was the only guy that swore his allegiance to the king. you know, he is now -- as he said he was and he is going to be that guy. they guard that supports his that the man who is right behind him. i must have been they are going to be the star couple, you know? the prince and princess of wales are going to be the ones people will look at. they will deal with the press, the photographs, all things there because actually they're going to be out and about around the world probably around the commonwealth and the rooms trying to sort of dreamt up the right message for this country. in my opinion, they were very,

very important people to the next part of the next stage of this monarchy because, of course, they are going to be the next king and queen. >> janai: robert johnson, victoria murphy, we thank you both for putting in some long hours this morning with the team there across theon waotmo the lders attendinth coronatio b his wife presentlyr.ilid was. chief foreign correspondent ian pannell joins us was more on the guest list and it certainly was a decorated guest list. ian cassette good morning to you. ternate yes, the stars were out in london today. if not the sun. good morning, coronations are a term for worlds worlds and brush of their ropes and the commoners only get to look at it from af afar. it has definitely been plenty old school with members of the british royal family are presented with 200 countries

around 100 heads of state. as essay, president biden not attending but the first lady was here together with her granddaughter. what was notable about the guest list is that there are also hundreds of young people representing charitable organizations. this was much more diverse than the late queen's coronation. spencer and brother was not on the guest list. and supposedly. although it is unclear if he wanted to attend anyway. given the history of the relationship between charles and camilla. of course, harry was here atten overl, was a slimmed-down guest list with a mere 2,300 attending. and then trying to show that charless in touch with modern britain. there have been protest today against the monarchy with peopl, not my king. even booing at times. the police making some arrests. although their numbers are relatively small compared to the crowds who came here to celebrate, it does represent i think a cooling of that relationship between king and

subjects and some of the challenges that lie ahead for charles to try to keep the monarchy relevant and very different country than the one his mother became queen over 70 years ago. gio? >> gio: very different country indeed. thank you so much for that and we will have much more from london coming up including prince harry and brinston williams together for the first time since their grandmother's funeral and a look at the star-studded celebration that is still to come. but first, let's go ahead and get a check of the weather with somara theodore and you are following some tornadoes in somara: yh, bk s are looking at ef-0 tornadoes in california and on average they are looking at about one during the month of may each year. we have seen two. this is actually a final crowd in fresno, california. and this is s dag caifnia near competent. this is where we see the ef-0 spigots cars were flipped and the roofs ripped off. we are tracking more severe weather. so here's what is up next for areas like wichita falls now
