erin vanderhoof is here, she's a staff writer for vanity fair and the co-host of the vanity fairs dynastyis is your time, right now. thanks for joining us. we really appreciate you being with us. we have been talking about prince charles becoming king charles now. but he is not the only one taking on a new role. william and kate are now the princess of rail. a title williams parents once had. the tough thing about the way the whole monarchy works that especially for the prince of wales there is no directing that you have to do but there are lot of expectation that you'll make sure will be useful of your time. the big change for will comes that he is now going to be taking the reins at the duchess of cornwall. which is essentially a real estate trust that has operated for hundreds of years to give the air to the throne and income this is one of the things that looking back and charles biography, one of the things that they know is that when he first got out of the military, it was a role he didn't particularly love, and he didn't know he wanted to do. but the first thing he did is he start

" and co-host of vanity fair's dynasty podcast, erin vanderhout. >> we have an american audiencend to an american audience, much of this seems boring and silly at times with all of the costume and the pageantry, but what strikes me about what this country has that america does not have is we are so divided by politics, our head of state is a president, a political figure, this country is also divided by politics, but what this country has is something higher to look toward, to rally behind, and to unify them, for better or worse, what has it meant to have a figurehead like the queen. >> it is so important to have a figurehead that transcends not only politics but also celebrity. they're a cut above. and they are pushing their own gend. and pushing the agenda of the institution, but actually that partnership means if you're not taking sides then you represent everyone. and there has been something very refreshing about the late queen's reign, in that she hasn't felt the need to give introduce, she has remained quite elusive, even though she is the most well known woman in the worl

erin vanderhoof, staff writer at "vanity fair," says, remember, at just 25, she was reigning over an woman who was challenging a lot of ideas about what it means to be a wife, what it means to be a mother, but she was doing it really subtly. >> reporter: despite their privilege, the royals are human, after all. our love affair may be long- distance, but as britain mourns, america's heart is broken, too. lee cowan, cbs news, los angeles. >> o'donnell: and that's the "cbs evening news." i'm norah o'donnell, in london. good night. captioning sponsored by cbs captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

i want to turn to "vanity fair's" katy, also an nbc contributor. we're starting to see how the king may conduct himself at least in terms of the public. i was so struck that not ohm was his first stop at buckingham palace, but he stopped outside yesterday to meet-and-greet and walk about the public who came to pay their respects. >> i think you're absolutely right. the word "king" immediately came to my mind. i was there with that crowd. it was amazing because we didn't know -- i didn't know how they were going to react. this was their first sighting of their new king, a nation who is in mourning, a natn who has only ever known one woman as the head of state, her majesty the queen, and yet everything changed, and there were cheers. so as much as this is a nation in mourning, this is a nation welcoming the new king. you could see almost charles' relief. there was a smile on his face, completely different than when he lost his father and there were tears on his face. i'm not suggesting he's not deeply sad about his mo of course, he is. i think he too

when she first got on the cover of vanity fair, the left was like forget this, i don't ever want to seey goodness.t >> we will be right back afteryo this that's the value of ownership. i think i changed my mind about these glasses. yeah, it happens. that's why visionworks gives you 100 days to change your mind. it's simple. anything else i can help you with? like what? visionworks. see the difference. my husband and i have never been more active. shingles doesn't care. i go to spin classes with my coworkers. good for you, shingles doesn't care. because no matter how healthy you feel, your risk of shingles sharply increases after age 50. but shingrix protects. proven over 90% effective, shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain

erin vanderhoof, staff writer at "vanity fair," says, remember, at just 25, she was reigning over anemerged as this woman who was challenging a lot of ideas about what it means to be a wife, what it means to be a mother, but she was doing it really subtly. >> reporter: author and historian david kennedy agrees. look at the role of prince philip, he says. >> he had, i think, spent the whole of his life subordinating himself to herself, not the natural gender hierarchy of those times. >> o'donnell: all right, i'm norah o'donnell in london. good night. >> judge judy: your son came home from a visit with his mother. he had a bruise. >> multiple. >> announcer: a single father's worst fear... >> judge judy: he said to you, in effect, "mommy's boyfriend hit me." >> i filed for a protection order against her boyfriend. >> it got dismissed. ralph didn't have any evidence. >> judge judy: that's your conclusion. >> announcer: ...and mom's sticking by her new man. >> judge judy: your son said the boyfriend hit him. your excuse was, "we just took the training wheels off his bike, and he fell." >>

this was like the "vanity fair" treatment. is that you in the program? p it was a bunch of different institutions. >> another one of your founder members was a great friend to the library in who is a very important part of the nixon administration. >> he was a superb human being and he went on into the world of words and the one that being of publisher at the tribune for 15 years. he was teaching at george washington university. how would you characterize the general view of nixon circa 66-ish? >> i supposed mixed. nixon backed barry goldwater very strongly. he traveled with them for months but the rest of the rip on people leaned more towards nelson rockefeller who emerged as counterpoint to goldwater. big state digs governor big spender progressive wing of the party. >> the interesting thing that i hadn't thought of romney. >> he was the governor of michigan and his father -- george romney was a person who never finished college and he was born in mexico but he was someone who wore his heart on his sleeve. he was a very passionate person and he was a s

[laughs] >> we do this every time there is a woman on the cover of "vanity fair." say. but democrat women don't want to support people who are anti-women and against their policies. there have been things from blake masters who is running against mark kelly he had to scrub his website of any reference to abortion. and then he came out with an ad with his wife and kids to humanize them. that smart politics but what the rider is talking about is supporting women who do not make it better to be a woman in america because these policies are not things that will help us. that makes sense. >> it's not a difference in the opinion, you are immoral. that's what they're saying. she does not deserve the same respect you do it you said that jessica! i condensed it. >> it's a strange thing because if you believe that life begins at conception i don't think that's immoral. that's the debate being set up. republicans are pushing back because they say you want to be able to kill a baby at birth, that's extreme. wives have been a part of politics for thousands of years. you remembe

for more on what we can expect when the new kings reign, i want to bring in vanity fair contributor -- welcome to the program. i know you have examined and written about prince charles, now king charles. it is somber obviously for the royal family. they got to lay the queen to rest before you can start your own rain, but you will adjust to people tonight, briefly. what do you think this means for him, and how do you see his reign, at least in the first few days, weeks, years? >> it's very interesting, charles and his mother are different people. it's basically the difference between the greenidge generation and a boomer, right? so i think what we will see from charles is a lot of unnaturally leaning on the legacy of his mother, maybe keeping his opinions to himself a little more than he has as his role of prince evolves. but then i think slowly over time, as it becomes more comfortable and the job, we will see it much more stream down, modern monarchy. >> that's interesting. stream down, modern monarchy -- for many, many years, some brits would have said that. they looked across the c

"vanity fair" says the 91-year-old actor has signed off on a plan to use artificial intelligence to craft dialogue from his old voice recordings. >> trevor: you see the little mermaid becomes black and they take away james earl jones! i told you there would be backlash! i told you! >> i'm joking. the legendary actor retired from doing the voice, that's all that happened. instead of trying to find someone else to voice the part, disney said they will use artificial intelligence to replicate darth vader's voice. i don't know, people, this makes me a little nervous. ( laughter ) yeah, we think a.i. is going to take over the world, and now we're going to teach it to use the dark side of the force? no one thinks this is a bad idea? i get it. that voice is iconic. it belongs in darth vader's body, or announcing cnn promos. but that's it. ( laughter ) and that's the last thing we need. the last thing we need is them opening the role up to other famous people. you know when they to that with roles and it becomes weird? can you imagine darth vader being voiced by someone else? ( darth breathing )

as vanity fair writes, "trump's war on losers: the early years." unself aware bully with a curious relationship to the truth about his supposed wealth and business prowess. he is facing accountability for his financial misdeeds with the new york attorney general filing a lawsuit accusing him of misstating the value of his properties to the tune of billions purely for financial gain and fitting has happening in new york, the pla is that made trump can now unmake him. i can think of no one better to talk in this moment than kurt anderson, one of the founding editors of "spy magazine" and author of "evil geniuses." good to see you. >> my pleasure. >> that article should be cited in her lawsuit, right? outlines everything he's been doing for 30 years. and my question is, why did it take so long? >> well, it is extraordinary. and it's one thing to be able to say 31 years later we told you so. but like you, i read that story today. in my case for the first time in 31 years when you didn't read it because you were a child, it was extraordinary. it is the

i welcome back my panel, kayleigh nickel, royal editor for vanity fair. and suzanna, a british historian. suzannah let's begin their. how would you describe this standard that the queen set for her parents? >> well. i think she set the standard in terms of that sense of connection. and humanity. the thing that comes out of all reports about the queen. is the way in which she engaged with people. i read an amazing story yesterday from the late chief rabbi, jonathan sachs, that how in 2000 and 15, she met with a group of auschwitz survivors in the time when she was supposed to leave, and she stayed, and she stayed. and she gave h one, he said, her focus and hurried attention. and listen to each of their stories. and afterwards, they said to him. you know, this had felt amazing. there had been a day when they didn't know that if they would make it tomorrow. and here they were talking to the queen. and he said it brought a closure to the lacerated lives. but i think it went to counter with the queen. and it was often something that is hard to guess at. but th

a few publications have had as long and storied history covering the royal family than "vanity fair."lking about this right before you came on, that just how people kind of take for granted she's a woman monarch and has been there for 70 years. it's extraordinary. and it's to her credit that she has made it all seem so normal and easy. >> i think that's right. i mean, when you think about how young she was when she became queen, you know, she raised a young family in the public eye. she had to embrace wave after wave of new technology, starting with television, ending with social media. >> the decline of the british empire as well. >> the decolonization, and the shrinking of the british empire, all of these things that sort of happened on her watch. and throughout, here's this woman who very calmly is holding her own with winston churchill and 14 more prime ministers, you know, meeting with 13 of the u.s. presidents out of the 14 whose reign coincided with her own. and i feel like it's just interesting to think about seeing this woman in this position of influence and power all of thi
