new zealand following the proclamation of a new king. from portraits to pop. senate raising the queen as a cultural icon. and having a look at this morning's papers marking this moment in history. hello. good morning from buckingham palace. the queen's coffin will, this morning, begin the journey to its final resting place in what king charles has described as his mother's last wait journey. thousands are expected to line the route as the queen's funeral cortege moves along the first part of its route to edinburgh. the queen's coffin, currently in the ballroom at balmoral. will be carried by six gamekeepers from the estate and lifted into the hearse at 10 am. the funeral cortege will make its way to aberdeen, passing through bonnet, or a buoying, bank hurry, and get a couture, arriving

will head through the angus countryside, past brecon, a writhing in dundee it around 2 pm, where it will drive around the city on the kings way. it will then head towards perth, across the bridge and over the queens fleet free crossing heading towards edinburgh. the cortege will pass by edinburgh castle and head down the royal mel to the palace of holyroodhouse, arriving at around 4 pm. the coffin will rest of the throne rooms where staff at the palace can pay their respects. meanwhile new details have been released about the queens lying in state in london and her funeral at westminster abbey, which will take place on monday, the 19th of september. that is as the new prince and princess of wales and the duke and duchess of sussex will reunite ed winter windsor for a walk about. what will unfold in the coming days. >> from traditional ceremony heralding and proclaiming a new sovereign [applause] to a winter walkabout, bringing brothers together and differences sater side. these are historic moments which crowds are gathering to witness. but >> it's wonderful to have that unity at the moment, whatever is going outside of that. >> light to see the mending bridges. thinking about, who knows? >> very hurtful for the queen, for the family. if they can put that to rest and start a fresh, that would be very good. >> your majesty. >> the new king has duties and meetings. he also has to plan his mother's funeral. this morning the queen's coffin will leave balmoral for the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. on monday afternoon the coffin will be taken to st. charles cathedral in

committal service at windsor as the late queen is finally laid to rest. >> it will beautifully put together, bringing together all the agencies of the state and the armed forces with the finest bill, the best pageantry. it will be a great salute to a wonderful queen. >> the crowds have been growing, with thousands and thousands expected in the coming days, bringing tributes to the queen and a welcome to the new king. norah bundock, sky news, westminster. >> so, as we have been telling, you the queen's coffin will leave balmoral at 10:00 this morning. so greg, tell us a bit more about what the plans are today from balmoral? >> i think it's been a poignant moment for the royal family and for those who work on the balmoral estate, those who live in the local area as well, the queen's coffin is in the ballroom at balmoral now, draped in the royal standard of scotland state workers on the balmoral estate have had their chance to pay their respects over the last day or so and in that final journey will begin, and the queen's coffin, carried by six gamekeepers through the estate, through the small dining room and into the hearse to begin that journey, symbolic, i think, of the queen's love for this estate but also the affection of the staff here still hold her in. then that journey will begin the six hour journey to edinburgh. stopping, first of all, in the village of ballot, or only about seven miles from here. as we heard of the last few days, a place where the queen was a regular visitor, where people respected her privacy, she was felt to be part of the community. they felt she was a neighbor. for many people there who we have spoken to, it is important for them that they will get the chance to see her cough and pass through the town. there will be a salute from the lord lieutenant of aberdeenshire. and that will continue through small communities through aberdeen. as you mentioned those stops at aberdeen and then the before and laura. lots of opportunity for the people of scotland to pay their respects and say goodbyes the queen makes the final journey through scotland. >> a moving moment. thanks very much indeed. and for just after 10 am we will bring you those pictures of the queen's funeral cortege as it begins its final journey. let's bring in, now, our international dominic well corn. and poignant moment this for the royal family. but give us an idea what the themes are today. what would you like to see happening today? >> the plan that has been laid down and plan for years, operation under bridge, is a corridor or sequence of rituals, ceremonies, events, that are on a twin track process. on the one hand, the process of mourning, saying goodbye to the last monarch, and on the other hand a succession, and succession welcoming the new monarchy. at the heart of all that is the effort to reassure the nation. that is what the whole idea of hereditary constitutional monarchy is about, reassuring people that the succession is sound and smooth and will happen in a way that is going to console people at this moment of grief. what we will see today is moving on to the morning process, which we saw begin a couple of days ago. but it will begin in earnest now with a passage of the queen's coffin. but yesterday was more about the accession, the council, the proclamation of the new king. but also those moving pictures you saw of the fab four, as they are called, michael and harry and kate and william, in walkabout. and that wasn't part of the plan, but the prince invited his brother with whom he has had clear differences, and i think at the heart of that reunion is an attempt to reassure people that unity is essential, it is part of this accession process, and these brothers have settled their differences for now. >> you get more of a human feel for the royal family with these walkabouts, don't you? you see them connecting, really talking to people in a moment when a woman asked if she could give meghan a hug, for example. that's a real contrast, isn't it, to the pomp and ceremony? you've got that human connection. >> what's interesting is that it combines the tradition that queen elizabeth laid down from the beginning. she invented the walk about, it has to be said. it's something we think as a more recent tradition. she began it very early on in her reign, in her commonwealth trips from the beginning of the rain. but it's something that princess diana, prince william's mother and prince harry's mother, kind of moved on to a new level. it became much more warm, i suppose, or reaching out and much more on a personal and almost, on the level of the commons, if you like, rather than at a royal level. we saw the queen's grandsons and princess diana's sons together kind of going out and going, this is looking at the flowers but, it was a poignant moment, but more moving is the moment when they went on as to couples to meet subjects in the on the lines we saw around prince charles do the other day outside the palace here. meeting subjects, greeting them, and having that close rapport and personal connection that we are seeing prince harry and prince william have with the public, with the subjects, but also that their mother, of course, had when she was alive. >> and everyone watching their body language very closely after all the reports of the rift between the two brothers. and no doubt we will return to those pictures throughout the morning and discuss them with our guests as they come in. but dominic, thank you very much indeed. let's take a look now at the front pages of this morning's newspapers. reunited for granny reads the front of the mirror as those pictures of the duke and duchess of cambridge and the duke and duchess of sussex are together for the first time in a long time. they also lead with that same story the sunday people. the sunday times also leads with rod walkabouts. an awkward truce to honor the queen. the daily star looks the two couples reunion as well with the two couples together in mourning. reunited insist sorrow reads the front of the sunday telegraph. the sunday express goes with the headline together for a granny, william hands olive branch to harry. and that same story on the front of the sun as well this morning. the headline all for one. the front of the observer, in contrast, pictures showing charles the third as he ascends the throne. we have a chat through the papers at about quarter to six. do stay with us for that. the prime minister of antigua and barbuda says he will call for a referendum on the country become a republic between three years. it comes as king charles the third prepares to meet the commonwealth secretary general of buckingham palace as well as commonwealth high commissioners. king charles has been officially proclaimed head of state and both australia and new zealand at ceremonies in the nation's capital today. in australia the proclamation was marked by a 21 gun salute. the governor general, the british monarch's representative in australia, spoke outside parliament house in camera. meanwhile in new zealand, there have been 2:21 gun salutes to acknowledge the proclamation of king charles the third. the salutes took place in burlington and ireland. the prime minister talked about the loss felt by the loss of queen elizabeth but also the welcoming of not the new era. >> for 70 years queen elizabeth serve the people of atlanta knew zealand with unwavering duty. she's the only monarch we have known. and so upon her death we enter a time of change, one field with sadness for her passing but also gratitude for the life she led and the example she set. king charles, his affection for his affection for new zealand. this relationship is deeply valued by our people. >> princess elizabeth was in kenya when she learned from her husband that the devastating news that her father door george the sixth had died and she had become queen. she ascended to the throne on the steps of the state house in nairobi, following a proclamation in the kenyan capital, similar to those taking place across the commonwealth for her son charles the iii. then >> kenya is where the reign of queen elizabeth started but her death has stalled mixed emotions for her country that did not have always the easiest relationship with the late monarch. 1952 the glenn princess elizabeth was on a royal visit with her husband prince philip. the visit we shot cut short when her father died. she can't became queen on kenyan land, a date that many still fondly remember. in nairobi's rail museum, the queen's royal visits are celebrated. >> we thought when she visited kenya in 1993, on her way to -- >> elizabeth regina. why is it important to preserve this? >> we are happy because history was made in kenya, in that time. and we are glad to be part of that history. >> but there is another history. britain's colonial rule. the british crackdown mile mao killed an estimated 11,000 kenyans and many held the queen as britain's head of state responsible. >> kenya was colonized by the british, and being colonized by the british, people have lost their fathers, their grandfathers, fighting for independence from the colonies. this is a colonizer. they are people who, that is the feeling they have. >> the association with the queen has also had some positives. >> yes, they are positives. the colonization's also brought positive things. but again, there is the negativity because of the losses that kenya as a people went through. >> british colonial history and the resentment of it are unavoidable in nairobi. the city's main road was named princess elizabeth highway when it opened, though since renamed freedom road after independence. time has healed only so much here. >> key trousers ended to the throne, this in itself marks a new beginning. i don't think a great good fraction of canyons will look at like like that. the more critical ones will remain critical. we will still continue to pose the uncomfortable questions. they will demand economic justice, political justice, and reparations. >> britain and kenya share a past and a future, both members of the commonwealth. the new king won't necessarily be a new beginning. sky news, in nairobi. >> back here with me again, dominic, the relationship between the monarchy in the commonwealth is at an interesting point. let's focus on kenyan particular because there is a special relationship there, given that that's where the queen found out that she was to be queen. >> she was told about her father's death in a tree house in kenya where she was on tour. that's where her reign began. she has a particular connection to kenya, to africa in south africa where is where in 1947 she gave that speech in 21 where she committed herself to a lifetime of devotion and duty to the people of the empire, the imperial family, i think she called it. and that is something she stayed true to throughout her life. that commitment is something that is hugely important, was hugely important to her. it's what setter on the path of not only devotion and duty but the path as a globe-trotting monarch. she invented the idea of being someone she embrace embrace the travel of the jet age, using jet travel to get out and see her subjects, to go across the commonwealth. i think her first tour was six months long. she was embraced not just for the people of the common wealth by the people of america, the ticket tape parade, the welcome to new york, for instance. i think we get used to the idea that the world leaders travel around the world now. but she kind of invented that. she invented the idea of going on these extraordinary tours where you are welcomed by thousands of people. she was a massive celebrity, a huge global icon right at the beginning of her reign and continues to be in these trips we have seen her continuing throughout her reign. i think this is her in kenya. it is remembering that that is an important part of the morning process, but i think it's also we're going to be remembering the queen but our memories will be we will have gratitude for her but also a sense of uncertainty and will there be a figure who can be as powerful as she was, to hold the commonwealth together? and what will the future before the commonwealth and for the monarchy itself that relationship, we've heard the prime minister of antigua and barbuda calling for a referendum on the coming every public. it's not the first nation to do. that these either the ship changing under king charles? >> i think we have already seen under the second elizabeth then era, this recess from the commonwealth, and i think a lot of that has been a safe -- it has modernized, but i think this will be a process of trying to work out how the commonwealth operates and how individual members of the commonwealth operate within that, and who does members regret as their heads of state, and what the constitutional arrangements will be. -- as you say, the prime minister of antigua and barbuda already talking about a referendum of the constitutional arrangements of his own state. i think others are following suit. we've already seen a. what we see more of it as well? i think it's something that we will need to see except, this process, because it has been delayed to some extent, but it will be precipitated further now that the queen that. >> and meetings with queen charles today -- as you say, this is an important issue for them, isn't it? it's something that he cares about deeply as, well. >> he sees his role as dominic -- but the subjects in the commonwealth nations in those who still have the british monikers as their head of state. he sees himself in that tradition that his mother began and pioneered and continued to devote herself to, that role and those duties throughout her reign. he has already made it clear in his address to the nation and through his aides that he will be a modernizing monarchy. even though he is 73, he wants to update the monarchy. people tried to bring the commonwealth more into a 21st century arrangement than it has been up to know. he's going to be happy to oversee that process or keep in the best of what is wanted it for the commonwealth throughout 70 years as queen. >> there's a commonwealth ahead of government meeting back in 2018, we saw both king charles now, prince charles then and the queen attending that then. -- >> i think so. i'll be different to the queen. we have taken it for granted that the queen gets on planes and travels around the world and mid-subjects. we forget the huge excitement, really, that the world embrace the young queen in the 50s. the dark, drab days of the second world war, she was shining lights -- she was the first global celebrity, and we forget that no. we look at the old woman -- very glamorous, exciting celebrity figure, and we will not see that again, obviously with charles. be a different charlie monarch. he will want to be king to get out of subjects as soon as possible, given what we know about him. >> dominic thank you much indeed, we will see later. to you know, to give -- the queen always had a special place and her heart for the commonwealth, who she saw as a few former colonies grow into 56 nations, many former british empire. they have made the uk their home during her reign. skies lisa holland has been speaking to calm and what communities. spyou call her grandma? >> yes. >> in south london, they called louise the queen of brixton, not just because she is a great grandmother who foster 26 children but 96 years of age, she was born the same day as queen elizabeth ii. >> they call you the queen of brixton i hear. >> yes, yes -- >> when? >> -- i said is the queen's birthday for me to. i am feeling good. >> louise came to burn us part of the -- generation. >> i inspired to fall the inspiring example that has been set -- >> as she watched the proclamation of the new king, she recalled the late queen visiting jamaica and the 1950s. >> she waved to everyone. i waved back. >> in multicultural brixton, scratch the surface, and it's easy to find people who made their home here with fonda murray's of the queen's decades of global commonwealth horse. >> when i was at school, i remember the helicopter at the back of the school and saw her from that. it is not the time for money, is it time for celebrating the life. she loved her life to the max. >> she made everyone feel like a part of the commonwealth, part of britain. i just think that the world is a poor place without her. >> what's also clear is just how significant the queen's global influence and standing was in so many countries around the world. >> there's no clean anywhere else, only in the united kingdom. >> in this fabric shot, we met this man,, who said he was watching the queen from a young age, which inspired him to want to move to the uk from india only 20 years ago. >> we talk about the news about the queen, on the newspaper, -- >> michael, who grew up in ghana, said the queen's legacy will live on. >> she's a strong brand. now we have a king, you have all the simple steps that his mom left behind. >> prince nuking already has the goodwill people of those who revered's mother to help build his own future as monarch. lisa holland, sky news, south london. >> clean elizabeth became monarch five years after india's independence. she made three visits the country during her reign. let's find out how her death has been received their. -- in delhi for us this morning. never, what has the reaction been like? there >> -- no official entertainment, but the people have admiration for the devotion and duty that the queen is given to the monarchy across the road. she has visited india three times in 1961, 1983 and 1997, where she was welcomed would large numbers of people who. in fact, in 1961, she gave a speech to thousands of people at -- which is a few miles away from here. on those three trips, she would have driven down this road to the president's house behind me and the ceo government on both sides, where she would have been given the guard of honor, and she has spoken about the warmth and welcome and adversity of india, which has inspired everyone. now, she would have known all the leaders of this country since a started five years after india got its independence from britain from mahatma gandhi to the present day prime minister modi, who married twice. she would have known on the other leaders as well, including a position in associate mid quite often whenever she is visiting india. this is not new india. it's more buoyant, confident and assertive, and a very young india, and india where more than half the population is under 25 years old, who has basically not seen or heard the era of kinship, monarchy, kings and queens. now, they want to be a par and be equitable with any sort of talks between the two countries, and it is now left the king charles three to make that and the young family of prince william and kate, who have had a significant, terrific night in 2016, meeting the younger population and trying to make that connect. being the largest commonwealth country in the world, and to endure that relationship, we will have to carry on with a new monarch and the young family. >> neville as a staff, and delhi, thank you very much indeed for painting a picture for us, we appreciate it, thank you. now, rock some in north was meant to be separating its recent award of cities that is it received as part of the clean's platinum jubilee celebration earlier this year. instead, its residents are coming to terms with the death of the monarch and beginning of a new era for royal role. katharina toxey records. >> -- >> the lake queen granted city status, and this is that they were gonna have the formal's official to mark it. what >> has the mood been like over the past few days? >> there's been a sense of unreality, she's been such a constant for the whole of our lives really. >> maxim has a boil pedigree. history has not always been kind of the places itself. >> at wrexham heights, our nato of the press area, but never misses found -- specifically in my industry. >> things have been changing fast and maxim. they were a town, becoming a city, it's football team taken over by a hollywood actor ryan meadows. now maxim and the whole of wells has a new prince and princess. alison williams met princess diana here in 1991 and nowhere becomes his son prince william and his wife taking on the role. i think william and kate are amazing. i think they will make a brilliant prince and princess of whales. it's nice that they have lived here so long. it means they're interested and they understand more about wells. the new prince and princess of whales also bring with them this -- , ♪ ♪ ♪ a way of operating online that as a stick in real life as it is online. but in a moment where the monarchy is looking to its future, some even these social media savvy younger royals feel somewhat distant. >> on their instagram, they put some of the pretty things. it would be impossible to feel reasonable to anyone of our generation, at the very least, anyway, because at the struggles we are having with inflation, living crisis, they don't have to deal with that as much as a summit. >> that's what we all want, as a country, to bring the uk into the new generation, be more electable. he's got to look back to his grandfather and his father's footsteps. for instance, you had a duke of edinburg road and the prince trust award. >> in a moment the queen that, royal role shifted. titles changed, but the responsibility remains to engage the public and preserve a legacy. katharina pataki, sky news, -- >> charities have been paying tribute to the queen, among them, the red cross. their chief executive, michael edison joins me now. thank you so much for joining us, especially at this early hour. we do appreciate it. tell us a little bit about the relationship between the red cross and the roe family because it goes back a long way, doesn't it? >> it does, and good morning, the royal family has given immense support to the red cross movement over many years, and the queen was our patron. we are deeply saddened by air passing, and its ceremonial role in many ways, but she is always there. despite being the champion at the red cross and she supporter and inspiration to our volunteers and staff. not only here in the uk, what has been incredible to the response of the people across the red cross movement we had messages from costa rica, that the lens to the philippines, parts of africa, oh patriots do what the queen symbolized to the red cross movement. >> he met the queen, haven't you, tell us a little bit about that? >> i have been fortunate to me are a couple of times. one of the most moving times was actually when she came to meet volunteers of staff affected by the terrible tragedy of the grenfell tower fire. she was immediately able to demonstrate incredible empathy and compassion with people who have lost everything, lost ovens, lost their homes and to inspire people. she had that kind of kindness about her and putting people to ease. i've also seen her in a lively context, when one of our supporters had painted her portrait and she kindly agreed to that. we had an unveiling at windsor castle. mature who is more nervous, whether it's the artist, whether she would like the portrait or her in terms of how she been captured. she was able to put everyone at their ease there. again, it was great, we took some volunteers very inspired by, also some major donors who support the work of the red cross. there is already a wonderful day. i've seen that lightness but also that compassion in a situation a terrible tragedy. >> we're looking at pictures now of the queen meeting people affected by the grand fall fire. you can see the compassion in her face as she is talking to people. how does that impact individuals when the queen visited them after tragedies like grenfell, after the magistrate we in a bombing. what impact does it have on people? >> you can just see how respected she is. she is an icon. her loss after seven decades of constant service, too many people, particularly to the red cross movement. when people meet are the people affected by a tragedy like grenfell or the bombing all our volunteers. they feel touched. qi has also been incredibly generous in supporting all of the emergencies, regular financial support to people when a big crisis happens, from famine in somalia to flooding in different parts of the world. and right the way through the covid crisis more recently. she would allow us to talk about the fact that she had given because she knew that it would inspire others to support people in their times of need. so seven decades of inspirational service just made so much difference to the red cross movement. we will miss her so much. we are also grateful to have had support from charles in his capacity as prince of wales, being incredibly generous with his time and seeing the work that we do supporting people, both here in the uk and around the world. we hope the royal family will want to continue to support the red cross movement because it does mean a lot. >> and you talk about seven decades of support by the queen. she became patron of the british red cross in 1952 when she became queen. will that happen with king charles as well? >> we very much hope that the new king will want to stay in role, but it would be presumptuous for us to presume to assume that that will happen. but we very much hope that the royal family will want to stay involved and continue to support us. but for now, we want to mark the queen's passing and say a huge thanks for what she achieved on our behalf. it really did make such a difference. >> and will the red cross be different involved in any of the events this week with a state funeral itself? >> we hope so. we are waiting to hear the details. we have now heard when it will be and we are looking forward to hear the arrangements. we hope we will be able to pay our respects and to support the nation as well as it mourns her passing. >> mike and obscene, chief executive of british red cross. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> over the course of her reign, the queen became perhaps the most photographed person, her images used from pop art to park. peter spencer has been looking at the life of a cultural icon. >> she was the most portrayed woman in the world. her face and profile ubiquitous, her image at the core of british culture. the queen's coronation was groundbreaking but the, first ever to be televised watch, by 27 million, the premier of source for the lifelong pivotal role she'd played in maintaining the allure of grand britain. >> when i was a little girl, a little teenager, when she was engaged to prince philip, who was about the best looking man in the world, i mean, everybody at school had a crush on him, and i kept scrapbooks of the queen. everything that within the scrapbooks or the magazines i cut out. it was princess elizabeth's wedding. she was a fairytale princess. she really was. she was gorgeous. she had a hand span waste, big wonderful eyes. we all just loved her. >> and decades on, record audiences once again tuned in for her platinum jubilee. >> perhaps you would like a marmalade sandwich. i always keep one for emergencies. >> so do i. i keep mine in here. >> oh. >> celebrations which brought people back together following the challenges of the pandemic. during lockdown, of course, many binged on the crown. one of the countless screen portrayals fueled by the public infatuation with this woman. >> do you think i'm going to come down to london before i've tended to my grandchildren we've just lost their mother? >> celebrated by artist from lucian freud andy warhol, reporter it's a huge part of her legacy. >> when i was first commissioned it was a daunting prospect. the queen, the most portrayed woman in history. just she closed her eyes and that was the moment. it didn't go in there to capture that moment, but being so tuned to meditation at the time, in that moment of calmness, there's a vibration to it. which we all resonate at. >> sitting for artists was part of her cultural duty, but she also inspired significant unofficial art. an anti establishment target appeared to mild on the cover of the 1976 pistols single, her defaced likeness an easy act of rebellion. >> they probably have a picture of the queen on the wall as well as a picture of jesus. >> iraq photographer dennis morris's parents admired the queen, for his generation she represented everything he was rallying against. in 1977, when the punk movement collided with the queen's silver jubilee, he was following the pistols provocative boat trip on the thames. >> the monarchy was very strong. we were not particularly light for being on anti monarchy. as i grew older anew more about it, i have a deep respect for the queen, and my respect for the queen is basically, it takes a lot to hold something like that together in the way that she has over the years. for me, big respect for that in that sense. >> while many british artists have clashed with the establishment, the queen, a loyal supporter of creativity, handed out thousands of honors for services to the entertainment sector. for 70 years she was champion of the arts. for those who embraced her magisterial authority or rebelled against it, she inspired. her influence over british culture irrefutable and unique. >> thank you. for everything. >> that's very kind. >>

funeral. the golf at wentworth was suspended following the queen's death on thursday. the government left left it to the discretion of each sport whether to hold events. games only in england this weekend. horse racing, the sport and passion of queen elizabeth ii the once gave her success in the gold cover ascot resumes its ledger on sunday. at the cricket in london, those no longer able to play sports this weekend, taking the chance to pay respects. >> happy to come here and watch the cricket. >> everyone went silent, and that was unprompted. yeah, it was quite special. >> a bit emotional. just having been brought up when i believe, and of course really moving so, yes. in a nation bree grieving, a nation coming together to express gratitude. rob harris, sky news, the oval. the >> walkabouts in windsor are dominating the front pages. i'm joined by royal historian tested dunlap and nigel nelson to take us through the papers. a good morning to both of you. thanks so much for joining us. so a lot of the papers have gone with yesterday's surprise walkabout, seeing prince william and prince harry reunited with their partners the first walk about it winced are kicking off, with a mirror aren't we, reunited for granny headlines. >> it was the only sort of concordia graft moment in a highly choreographed day. totally henry's unexpected. we knew prince william and kate would come, out they did a walk about, to see harry and meghan there was a huge surprise. the great thing about that is that it seems to me that if you've got a nation uniting in grief, the brothers ought to unite in grief as well. that was the kind of saying, they were doing it for, as they say the, family. but the whole thing is it was also for the country as well it. was nice to see them together. >> it was a warm the bottom of your heart sort of thing. the olive branch. the sunny times says awkward truce. i know, and, you are gripped by the body language. >> i turned on that moment and watch the whole thing. it went on for 40 minutes, actually. you could not help looking at the body language and wondering, sensing whether or not there were tensions. this is a big moment -- >> it was a bit awkward. as change as it has been for quite a long time now, going back two years, so on the basis that it might been quite difficult. we have a whole business of grandmother depth to deal with, their own personal emotions and on top of that, doing in the public eye. in a sense, that's what royals do. >> we live to them. we all play out our own tell if he's watching them. the genius of the queen's exclusive timing, the timing of that departure, when harry and meghan are land tips the in the country. think about how relative in the last two years. -- there's beautiful coincidental choreography to this all week as a, pans out. dramatic pictures. black is the color, isn't it? -- >> the pictures there for them, isn't it? >> black is slimming. i was demo. it's never easy, is it, at the best of times. big moments and a family look at that bring you to the other but all of us coping at them, -- >> it's happening on camera as well. with this is before the public? there's been a personal drama, if you, like going on with this stuff and the family -- seen pictures of them connected with people, how important is that? is that a moment when the royal family becomes relevant to people? they see pictures of all the pomp and circumstance, my feel distant. >> this is the real moment, because we had the camps earlier, and that was all the pomp and ceremony. this is the more humid moment and judging by crowds today, they absolutely loved it. they thought it was tremendous to see the four of them to gather. >> they are the star power -- together, they make even more of a slash and that's about branding, isn't it. meghan and i -- with any luck there will be something long term emerging from this, let's hope so. >> it's a bit awkward essay but eventually, when they got time, they'll sit down and stepped out the differences. >> echo the queen's legacy, and she met at the walk about. they've been credit for that. >> she would have loved to see them together. >> let's get the observers tape now shall we. this is focusing more on the ceremony, as we referred to yesterday. king charles being formally declared king. >> i was equally -- the body language was fascinating. it's been noted how many prime ministers can you get in one room. so two but charles -- >> must attempt on like each other. >> observers noting that boris johnson will have a bullet. but to the center stage in our new king. it's been fascinating by charles, poise -- he's been building for this moment long time. it struck me as the vulnerability in his crate age really, nearly 74 years old and the contrast with that very young queen, 70 years ago, responded well in her own way in for a very different reason. >> that's true and to hear one of the moments yesterday, you see this just in that picture -- -- >> at that the body language between theresa may and boris johnson were ones to watch. clearly she didn't want to get involved with him. they just weren't talking to each other. what was great about that, i thought, was that it was televised, bathrooms, alter the modern age. what you are seeing there -- at least charles decided, look, i think they should be for the entire public, and we should see ceremonies like that. >> you see that the prince of wells really supporting his that. charles mentioned his beloved wife, of course, but i think we will increasingly see william take up the slack. i notice that he was desperate to get rid of the -- he was fastidious. he was nervous, as well. this is something else, he is never done, we have never seen. it's all brand-new and very ancient. >> how do you think he's coming over? the observer has a picture of him on the front page. they have not chosen to go with his sons. how do you think he is handling the situation because he is showing where it a motion, isn't he? he appears to be showing's vulnerabilities and his grief. >> he's having to sort of bridge a real divide there. on the one hand, he has to be the compassionate, mournful sun, and on the other hand, he has to assumed dismantle of sovereignty that he has been waiting for a lifetime. the last -- woman glass had such a monarch of different, i could not find one, but had a look at victoria's son, liberty, who became edward the seventh in 1901. he's 59. when you heard of his mouth is that, he said it came 21 years too late. we need to cut charles a bit of slack. he's a big kid -- >> the succession is gone smoothly so far -- all that shows a public affection. it seems to me that, it's a sign that the public really do like the monarchy, and it's here to stay. >> another quick word, we cannot see harry in the shot, but we did earlier. >> normally, you don't see -- she's up in scotland at holyroodhouse. >> you had the english mps? [inaudible] >> this, just a moment to focus on. remember, she's been on the job for a couple of days. >> one way or another, she had to freeze energy bills, and then she has to do with this one. so far, i'm no great liz truss supporter, but i have to say, she's not put a foot wrong so far. even in prime ministers questions earlier before we got the news, she was fairly self assured. remember john major when he did his first prime minister press conference, his hands are shaken so much, he could not read his papers. yes, given everything that has been turned out this week, she's doing a good job. >> shall we move on to the star. i want to bring in one more paper, the start on sunday, the focus is again on those two couples reunited, is the headline. there's also the other element he wanted to pick out which was the queen of laughs in the top right hand corner. >> one thing that the prime minister keeps talking about is a wonderful sense of humor -- we saw in the 2012 olympics when she did the sketch with james bond. we saw her at the jubilee with paddington bear but also in private, so you got prime ministers saying at the weekly audience, it was a great laugh. we had good gossip. it is the one time both of them -- >> funny that because i've done a lot of research about her majesty and as a new queen in the 40s and 50s. which before she became queen in canada and then popped over to america on the commonwealth tour, one of the criticisms in all the press was that she did not smile enough. i wonder if in the early days, that was about anxiety and nerves. -- >> she grew into it that is? >> over 70 years, how once entire persona can change. it's interesting. >> you relax in public. it's always the same behind closed doors. we have extraordinary antidotes being told since her that people who have had those conversations. you now feel freer talking about them. >> the one thing -- certainly, the publishes i spoke to, what they can speak about is what she actually said. they can tell anecdotes. we had anecdotes about theresa may jump in the trees, and the queen saying put it back on the plate. -- how her lips got stuck to his hand. what we can actually say is what was talked about at the time. if that is something isn't absolute rule, don't speak. that >> certainly, it's politically sensitive. she was rejected not that heavy's been on. we are out of time, but tests and nigel, pleased to say that you will be back in the hours ahead. for the moment, thank you very much indeed. we will come back look at the papers again shortly. thank you. do stay with us, we have live coverage from buckingham palace throughout the morning on the day that the queen's coffin will begin this morning, its final journey. it's been described by king charles as his mother's last great journey. do stay with us, plenty more coverage throughout the morning here on sky news from here and there from balmoral in scotland. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> -- published and proclaimed, that prince charles for the become our only lawful and rifle lord, charles the third. >> the beaches for his majesty the king -- hip hip -- >> hurray. >> [applause] >> thank you so much. thank you, everyone.
