00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:03.545
How should we think about moving from
one era to another.

00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:06.180
Should we.
Should we think of this as I mean it is

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:11.270
the end of an Elizabethan area.
We're moving into an area led by Charles

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.605
the third wheel.
Will it feel different.

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.455
Will.
Will things look different.

00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:18.905
Will Britain be different.
Absolutely.

00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:21.810
Everything will feel different.
I mean there is just the simple things

00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:24.515
of saying God save the king instead of
God save the Queen.

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:27.185
His Majesty's governments that of Her
Majesty's Government.

00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:29.305
So just the simple things the stamps
will change.

00:00:29.540 --> 00:00:32.045
You know little things will be very very
different.

00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:35.225
But it will feel different.
There will be a change in tone.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:40.710
And I think it is significant perhaps
that the queen's passing has come at a

00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:43.175
challenging time for us internationally
and globally.

00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:46.950
And so there is so much in shift.
Even the prime minister again as you

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:50.255
were just kind of noting has only been
in office for 48 hours.

00:00:50.730 --> 00:00:54.815
So we've got this massive shift in
multiple ways all at the same time.

00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:59.880
So I feel like this will be very kind of
discombobulating perhaps you know for

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:02.345
the British people but also for for the
world.

00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.030
Again who has been kind of known
Elizabeth a second as this great kind of

00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:09.395
constant in times of change.
So it will feel different.

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:13.950
There will be a change in tone and feel
even though we've become accustomed

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:15.785
we're very familiar with the prince of
Wales.

00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:19.590
He had been carrying out more and more
of the queen's duties as she became

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:23.135
unable to carry them out because of her
mobility issues.

00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:27.840
It's not that he's an unfamiliar face
but that change in tone from this long

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.875
serving female monarch to this new male
monarch.

00:01:30.990 --> 00:01:33.665
It will not strike a note of change
indeed.

00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.340
Very fascinating Ali.
And as we've been saying you know change

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.955
also when we have a new prime minister
coming in.

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:45.600
Talk to us about what this means for the
relationship from the monarchy to

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:48.840
politics of course.
Queen Elizabeth was always very careful

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.765
with that boundary not to step out of
it.

00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:53.705
We've of course heard Charles make
comments in the past.

00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:56.795
He has very passionate topics such as
climate change.

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:00.840
Does that rule change at all.
Of course the prime minister seeking

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.885
counsel in the monarchy throughout
history.

00:02:04.410 --> 00:02:07.380
Absolutely.
I mean one of the things that has is

00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.140
always difficult to know.
And obviously series like the Crown has

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:14.490
kind of tried to kind of fill out if you
like what happens in those conversations

00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:16.495
between the monarch and the prime
minister.

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:21.605
We never know what goes on behind closed
doors or how much counsel the MA gives.

00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:24.485
Of course the monarch is meant to be a
political.

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:27.575
They are meant to be again this constant
that politics change.

00:02:27.570 --> 00:02:31.560
Parties go in and out of power.
The monarchy remains a political and it

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.465
remains again a neutral force in the
whole kind of political mechanism.

00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:40.110
Charles has been it's been commented in
the past that he has very strong

00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:43.320
opinions on things.
And as Prince of Wales he often made

00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:44.385
those opinions.
No.

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.135
Now I think as King and he has said
himself that he's is.

00:02:47.410 --> 00:02:49.050
Yes.
I think he famously said he's not

00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:52.500
stupid.
He is very aware of the fact that he hit

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:57.540
part of his role as King Charles will be
to step apart from the political fray to

00:02:57.540 --> 00:03:01.625
again provide that continuity without
contributing perhaps to that.

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.130
But he does have very clear feelings
particularly about things like the

00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:09.390
environment for example about
architecture et cetera that have been

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.100
made known.
So again as King I think he will be more

00:03:14.340 --> 00:03:17.135
reticent if you like about sharing those
opinions.

00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:20.910
But again that's already public currency
that we are aware of how he feels and

00:03:20.910 --> 00:03:23.215
where his stand is on on several major
issues.
