first images of the new king of england, i'm talking about charles iii, boarding an airplane at aberdeen airport in scotland. he's now on his way here to london where he will be addressing the nation and the world, following the death of his mother, the queen. king charles has asked for a period of royal mourning to be observed until seven days after the queen's funeral. the british cabinet office says at further details on the funeral ceremonies will be made available, that should happen shortly. so let's get some new information, and react to all of this. cnn's anchor and royal correspondent max foster joins us now. max, 96 rounds, salute. folks here stopped, paid attention, you could hear a pin drop, most you could hear. >> one for every year of her life. it is a reminder, isn't it, what a ripe age she reached, and also a reminder, you know, we were talking about how liz truss had her first audience with the queen when she got appointed, and how the queen as she promised in that 21st birthday message dedicated her entire life to her people and she never abdicated. she served right until the e

they flew out of aberdeen airport and arrived at buckingham palace a couple hours later, harris. we saw something that surprised a lot of us who have watched then prince charles over so many decades. he did something that was not really of his character. it was a very populist move. as the convoy pulled up to the palace he got out and began shaking hands with some of the thousands upon thousands of people who have gathered outside buckingham palace both to mourn the passing, of course, of queen elizabeth ii and the celebrate the succession of king charles iii. it was very unusual to see king charles displaying that common touch. kissed on the cheek by a woman who grabbed him. that used to happen a lot about 50 years ago when he was a young, very eligible bachelor. we always used to see it in the papers here in the u.k. some woman running up to prince charles as he was and kissing them. that hasn't happened for a very long time. he seemed to be very much enjoying that moment amid what obviously is a desperately sad time for king charles and for the nation as a whole. so what the p

the others flew up to aberdeen airport so the usual format would be going to the airport on the outskirts of london up to aberdeen then an hour's drive. we haven't seen any movements of such upper aberdeen for prince harry so i guess he could be driving. it would take him a lot longer. he is not known for driving these distances. i'm sure he's taken some sort of jet and perhaps the government would have laid that on in this particular case because of, you know, the situation with the nation in a state of flux and they want resolution and i think at the moment prince harry is the missing part. >> christian, it is such, as richard quest was saying a short time ago, this strange kind of in between moment where we don't know what the queen's exact condition is and may not know until prince harry gets there and whatever process takes place is going to take place before any kind of statement is made. and, yet, the people all around the world are watching and waiting and wondering. >> anderson, exactly. what we know for sure is that there is a family emergency involving the queen and we know tha

aircraft, carrying prince william, the earl and countess of wessex and prince andrew, arrived at aberdeen airportf sussex, who'd travelled separately, arrived later still. two days before her death, the queen had been photographed inside balmoral castle, looking frail but alert as she waited for the arrival of the new prime minister. she was photographed again as she invited liz truss to form a new government. the next day, we were told that she was too tired to host a virtual meeting of the privy council. the day after that, she passed away peacefully. at windsor, the castle reopened this morning to allow visitors to enter st george's chapel. it was here on the 19th of september that the committal service took place and where, later that evening, the coffin was placed in the small king george vi memorial chapel. there it rests alongside those of her late husband, herfather, king george vi, and her mother. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the kremlin has announced that a signing ceremony will be held tomorrow to, in its words, incorporate four regions of ukraine into the russian federation. it follow

when are we expected to hear from her wells at right now, people at aberdeen airports in scotland are waiting on a new prime minister list trust to arrive at to catch a plane, which will take her to our half north old. that's thought be anyway. and then she'll be coming by car motorcade here to downing street as prime minister for the 1st time, the 4th prime minister in 6 years. believe it or not. so i, we're going to say i an assembly of media. we're all hunker down here. and there will be a speech and a presentation by the new prime minister. it may be outside, but they're making preparations inside encased the thunderstorms. are there have been forecast and i won't make any of pon about lap, but the situation this prime ministers in is anything but humorous in any sense. she is up against a colossal problem with the economy. inflation seemingly out of control over 10 percent. now a could be in the twenty's or possibly this year, she's under massive pressure to come up with a solution to an extraordinary rise in energy cost for people all across britain, the worst in europe effectiv

so she traveled from aberdeen airport on, ah, as prime minister now on her way to her new home. here in downing street, she met the queen. she kissed her hand and tradition. not so much a kiss, apparently it's just a rub on the lips. that's irony. the protocol, the way things the etiquette, and in terms of how she greets the queen the queen. ah then ah, basically appointed her as prime minister, the united kingdom, the 55th, the prime minister, ah, that to actually be appointed during the queen's reign. there were 56 prime minister. she actually served as a queen with bats on up. but in this was the 55th appointment as such. prior to that, forrest johnson, i was there all the way up to aberdeen and then on to bow moral to resign. he had 40 minutes audience with the queen and then made a speech in which he was well put it like this. he was subdued and away, and quite angry about his departure and making the reference to a relay race, passing the baton to a new prime minister in a sporting fashion. but the rules changed midway through the race. he said the rules of course, ah, as
