so we might have to wait some months for prince charles to become king charles rory. is that the way we've been hearing the news, the statement from buckingham palace, the fact that the information has been released that her family is on the way to see her. there is a degree of seriousness to that is. it's also a little bit unusual that they would release the source of information unless it was an incredibly serious what exactly is it to my perspective, this is unprecedented. we've had health scares about the queen before. that has been speculation that may be blah stays with us before boss. the messaging that is coming out of buckingham palace are the moments the kind of messages of, of sympathy and support that are coming in from your political figures. let's trust kids, sama, the speaker of the house of commons, the archbishop of canterbury, etc. these are all the kinds of messages i think that you would get if the expectations for the queen's recovery were not particularly right. i think as you said, you know, she have had coded recently, health has been fighting,

we haven't seen prince charles and prince william travel like this to balmoral castle.why this looks different and i think you're seeing the reaction you are from the house of commons, from the conservative labor parties, correct? >> absolutely. the fact that family members are traveling to be at her side, just heard the duke of york is making his way up to balmoral. this is very unusual for the royal family. they really have kept this never complain, never explain mantra for many years, rarely visit each other when anybody is in hospital, for example. that in itself is a sign this is being taken very seriously by members of the queen's family and we have the archbishop of canterbury making a prayer on social media for the queen's health. it doesn't come much more serious than that. >> the palace is not tamping down the concern. the level of concern coming from the press, for instance. they are allowing this to be what it is. >> absolutely. they're not ever going to try and hide something as serious as what this may turn out to be. that being said, you know, they have a

. >> by the time she's 24, diana has been married to prince charles for four years. they have two sons, prince william who is three and 1-year-old prince harry. >> they are for all intents and purposes the royal family. >> i feel my role is supporting my husband, and also most importantly being a mother and a wife. and that's what i try to achieve, whether i do is another thing, but i do try. >> she gave this wonderful impression to the public. >> have you actually tried to change prince charles in any way since you got married? >> nothing dramatic. >> but behind the scenes, she is very much living a lie. >> did you know what you were taking on? >> no, i didn't. >> throughout diana's marriage to charles, there was a third figure hovering around, camilla parker boles, the wife of one of prince charles' oldest friends. >> she was his first love, and he had never really stopped adoring camilla. >> wilt thou have this woman -- >> charles really thought he was doing the right thing by marrying diana, but he always knew it wasn't the deep -- >> with camilla parker boles who

she didn't have the freedom that prince charles . no, king charles did have. he is the oldest. e 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

but when we think about what she achieved and what she bestows to prince charles, king charles iii now, it's incredible, because britain has changed so much. the empire which she has presided over has shrunk considerably with republics being declared over her reign, the modernization of the media, and she's managed to maintain and grow in popularity, which all the pop liticians the world over would envy. that's what she gives to her sob. she has adapted the monarchy, this very antiquated institution into a position that could be sustainable. what will happen next? we don't know. >> there was a buildup this morning. we spoke about it earlier. we thought this was coming. and then you were out there amongst the people that started to gather when the news came in. what was that like? >> it started off with just 100 people mainly, largely tourists who would be outside buckingham palace on a normal thursday. then you started getting people leaving work and coming. there were probably thousands at this stage. but what was so interesting was about an hour before the news really broke that the

i think she has very sensibly deputized prince charles, prince william, prince edward to stand in forthis is a moment everybody has been dreading and the gravity is underscored by the fact that so many members of her family have been summoned to balmoral. it is very serious. we don't know specifically what her ailment is. it is -- she is as many others have pointed out the glue that holds the united kingdom together, a huge force in the commonwealth of 54 nations around the world and so i think a lot of people have been dreading the moment when she would no longer be on the scene. so there is a sense of terrible anguish and anxiety right now everywhere. >> kate williams, your thoughts on this afternoon. >> yes, a very serious moment. we've had various updates on the queen's health before but we've been told she was fine and nothing to worry about. she looked in such great health at her platinum jubilee. she couldn't attend everything but was in great form. just a month before that she was opening our brand new tube line here in london, elizabeth line, bright purple. she looked so happ

so we know that prince charles, who should now be king charles, was a bomb, are already along with his sister, princess and. and before she died, we understand that her other children, a prince, andrew and prince edward also arrived in time as did prince william, her grandson. and we also understood that his brother, prince harry was due by morrow i cannot tell you if he got there in time or not. because the, as, as you said, the announcement has just be made. but she was certainly surrounded by those very closest to her. thank you, alex so much for that. queen elizabeth performed her last official duties on tuesday when she appointed liz trust as the new u. k. prime minister, after accepting the resignation of outgoing prime minister boris johnson. i. we know that although she'd increasingly withdrawn from high profile real duties in recent years, she did spend her 70 decade rein dedicated to the role of the queen. looking at pictures from a buckingham palace, as crowds gather o, no british monarch reigned for as long as queen elizabeth the 2nd. ah, she was a constant in time of drama

charles or it would be charles p, meaning prince am now is charles are meaning charles rex. i am a king and i couldn't quite see was camilla was signing, but i think she also is now. i wish i could remember. i think she probably is r e or something like that. meaning that she is so declaring that she is queen as well . we'll see that in due course. you talk about the, the ceremony. the pump at britain is very good at him. we're watching it right now . and this is the thing, isn't it that his sense of tactile history that connects almost every single britain alive with centuries of tradition, centuries of history and of times long gone. but those times of kind of present with us today because of the sense tradition has been maintained. i think it's important. i mean, you know that a young generation may say why we got all. ready you know, we now live in the internet age. we live in the age of social media, but the world spinning faster and faster as we go along. and it's just as well to remind ourselves to just touch base occasionally and remind ourselves that we've been here

the queen had given birth to four children, prince charles, princess an everyone everyone e and princeily lived at buckingham palace but spent at balmoral in norfolk where they enjoyed the love of the great outdoors and balancing her demands of married life with head of state. >> prince philip would be the head of the family. she would wear the crown but he would wear the trousers. their homes and domestic decisions and big important decisions were taken by him. where the children went to school was in his realm. the queen, in a time, let's be honest of chawf nism, where most womedid not have careers and no leaders of companies, certainly no politicians that were women, and yet ts woman was at the helm of our government and constitutional system. >> 1970's were a challenging period for both queen and country. now in her mid-40's, her reign was faced with mounting problems. northern ireland was gripped by sectarian violence. britain was facing strikes and a winter of discontent and unemployment topped the one million mark for the first time since the 1930's. >> it was tough. a lot of in

marriage really had a chance with camilla in the picture, though. >> reporter: a month after prince charles diana announced their separation, there was camillagate. a secretly recorded phone call surfacing. camilla and charles, both still married to others, professing their love for each other in quite intimate language. >> he talks about her being the only person that brings him joy at times. and i think you really hear in those conversations the stress of being prince of wales coming out. >> reporter: diana's tragic death in 1997 cemented the public sentiment on one thing -- at least at the time -- camilla could never marry charles. >> i think the perception of camilla in the '90s was the classic "other woman" trope. she was deeply unpopular for a long time. >> but she never, ever complained or moaned. and she kept her head down. and just let him get on with his life, and she got on with hers. and you know, at the end of the day, that worked. >> the queen was understandably very tentative about camilla in the beginning. she was a divorcee, everyone knew she and charles had been carrying o

that she rolled over as a 25 -year-old because they never actually got to see her in the flesh prince charlesas spent the last 30 years traveling the commonwealth and is a familiar figure so the charles - - challenge for prince charles to put in a treasonous way is can he keep his mouth shut? but now i would argue this country wanted to hear their king and he delivered but they don't want to hear him moaning about everything all the time. he has to keep it mystic like the queen. >> it is so interesting he made kate and william prince and princess of wales instantly in that very first speech. we are talking about this moments ago charles at 73 and his wife of 17 years that i think people have come to embrace in a significant way but really it is local and —- william and kate that are the international stars with the same magnetism that a young queen elizabeth had at the age of 25 traveling around the world. so i imagine that part of the role, even though william is already 40, he seems young in the scheme of things, do you think that whole part of elizabeth's role falls to them in many ways? >

we know prince charles and camilla are already there. her other children will make their way there, if not there already. prince william, second in line to the throne after prince charles, is also traveling to be by her side, amongst other extended members of the family. so, it's clearly a very serious moment. and the seriousness was evident in the house of commons, in parliament earlier. a debate was ongoing at the moment this news started to break. that serious sentiment was summed up by the new prime minister, liz truss, who said the whole country will be deeply concerned by this news and that my thoughts and thoughts of the people across our united kingdom are with her majesty, the queen, at this time. the last time we saw the queen was two days ago when she appointed the new prime minister, liz truss. and she did look frail on that occasion. albeit positive and smiley two days ago. highlighting her commitment to her duty that she wanted to be there to appoint the new prime minister, despite obvious frailties. >> yes, 96 years old, s

and we saw a very opinionated prince. charles will be see a less opinionated king charles. absolutely. he is not allowed constitutionally, as king. he mustn't give his opinions, which we saw in the queen for 70 years. you have no idea of her opinions. i think we might have had a little of an idea of what she thought about scottish independence, but that's about it. we have no idea what she thought or breaks it, and she never spoke publicly in it of her opinions why he has done that, hasn't he has a quite laws. and he has also said in the past that he realizes when he becomes king, he has to change that and he's not allowed to give his opinions. they were watching are like pictures here of us coming from this got capital edinburgh where a procession with queen elizabeth's coffin is making its way from hollywood house palace to saint charles cathedral down those cities famous royal mile. we have a correspondence with us, rob merrill and spirit mos in london. bill gets it. tell me about the plans for the queen's coffin in the days t

prince charles is there with her.er that the duke of cambridge is also travelling to balmoral to be with the queen as well. we can speak now to anna whitelock. the queen has made history with the extraordinary longevity of her reign. it is remarkable, longer than 70 years. she hasjust sworn in her 15th prime minister, the first being winston churchill. she spans the second half of the 20th century. she has become so part of british identity and whether people are supporters of the monarchy or not, this kind of news rocks people because she is in many ways a rock, she has always been around, most people haven't lived a life where she hasn't been cleaned. today with people around me there is a sense of, oh, gosh, that is going to be odd. that sums up the kind of influence and impact she has beyond a very important role we saw her play swearing in liz truss as prime minister the other day. thatin minister the other day. that in itself was extraordinary because it was her 15th prime minister. and she smiled that unique sm

prince charles or king charles, who he is now, he is relaxed about that. it's slightly different. slightly more informal. i know he seems like a formal guy to a lot of people. he's actually very emotional and quite informal from the world he comes from. >> and the world will get to know him over the next several weeks, months and years. max foster, christiane amanpour, thank you all. the queen's reach went far beyond the throne. more than the royal family, how life could change for millions in the aftermath of her death, and from new currency to a different version of the national anthem already being sung outside buckingham palace ♪ god save our gracious king ♪ before we begin, i'd like to thank our sponsor, liberty mutual. >> we love you, king charles. we love your mum. and by switching, you could even save $6$652. thank you, liberty mutual. now, contestants ready? go! why? why? only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.♪ with directv i can get live tv and on demand together: football, housewives, football, housewives, football, housewives... whoops. oh no

look, well, prince charles, as you say, as he was before becoming king charles the 3rd was a man, an heir to the king, a king add to the queen, a king in waiting for 70 years and he was not quiet. he was not behind the scenes in that time. he is a man, or all views of opinion, sometimes stridently expressed. he cares deeply about the countryside, rural affairs, agriculture, climate change in the environment. he's deeply concerned about the rain forests, of course, and architecture as well. and on occasion, he has made comments that have been seen to be swipes of public policy of government policy. all of that is going to have to change. he acknowledged it last night. in his speech, he simply will have to become as his mother was a model of objectivity and of discretion. and those causes that he charities so much will be passed to others to look after. as he said in his speech last night, what sort of a monarch will he be? what sort of a kingdom will he look after? all of those same things very much in question as we speak. how serious, jonah, how reporting live there from buckingham

is doing it today, calling him prince charles -- king charles that he is making william prince of walestherefore katherine the princess of wales and she's already been commenting through spokespeople and through friends saying that she is deeply aware of the historical significance of that title, of course it having been in abeyance since the death of diana, princess of wales. of course camilla was eligible to call herself, if they had decided that was what they wanted to do, princess of wales but very sensibly in my view decided that would not be appropriate and the country wouldn't take kindly to that so she called herself duchess of balmoral. that will be an emotional moment when we start reusing every day that title of the princess of wales. i think the fact that that happened for william and kate, it was then even more important that charles should talk about harry and meghan. >> i will note that harry showed up to balmoral on his own and it did seem this morning he left on his own as well. thank you very much for starting us off. world leaders past and present are honoring the lif

i don't know how prince charles will do that because if it does, if he actually has the dynamism within it to stay and to survive, it won't be charles that will lead the inertia of that. that certain energy. it'll be some of the, some of the leaders, those countries themselves, if they want to keep going. but you know, it was already completely fulfilled. the idea of the commonwealth, you know, and just post bricks. it the idea that person could invest more in the commonwealth or something on the table for a long time, leading up to the referendum leading up to bricks. it. and we never really, boris never really got round to, going to putting his ideas and his thoughts into that area. it may well be the list, trust has an opportunity to now to, to work with prince charles to actually try and create some new inertia. a new, a new energy within the commonwealth, but i have to say, look, it doesn't look very positive. the thing is we have to be more realistic. but the queen held to come together and i don't think prince charles if he's going to call himself prince shows, will do the same.

prince charles didn't follow that. he was found some 20 years ago to write the spider letters to ministers, letters in his own handwriting to politicians. he has said in recent years when asked about this that when he becomes king, he would not be at all politically intervening. we'll see if that's the case. everyone must hope that's the case. in a constitutional monarchy, the monarch can't criticize the government or intervenes in any way in the policies of government. so we must hope that his long apprenticeship for this role that he's assumed means that he will change. we'll see. very much to be hoped. the monarchy in britain, it effectively operates in britain like the flag does in the united states. it's above politics, it's above party politics and it has to represent the thing that unifies and threads the nation together. that's really what the monarch does in the united kingdom and what queen elizabeth so expertly did through her extraordinarily long reign. >> you know, it's interesting. i was looking at a piec

charles, her eldest son, had become prince of wales in 1969. at the age of 32, he married diana spencer. she just turn 21 was a stranger's royal life. it was an unhappy marriage ending in divorce. then in 1997 princess diana was killed in a paris car crash. initially the queen didn't publicly show grief. she was staying in scotland. walter's straw crowds gathered at buckingham palace. i think dan is death. was a very dangerous, named for the monarchy. i think that was, that was possibly the one limit where you can look back on, on a pretty flawless rain and say that at that moment i think the queen lost her her judgment. the queen had a special affection for charles and dinah's 2 sons, william and harry, prince harry was seen by royal watches, the queen's favorite grandson. but he was to take his grandmother through some bad times. he mounted american actress megan merkel, left their world duties and moved to america as private citizens, a couple of paid on the us television network with scathing attacks on the royal family for making them unha
