JUST TO SHOW HOW EXCITED PEOPLE GOT, SHOW YOU
THIS LITTLE MOMENT FROM EARLIER ON.
AS KING CHARLES WAS GOING ALONG THE CROWDS.
I THINK PEOPLE. QUITE OVERCOME WITH EMOTION, AND
THEY WERE SORT OF LEANING FORWARD TO HIM, AND THEN LOOK AT
THIS. WAIT FOR THIS.
NOW THAT WAS JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO.
>> YES. >> Reporter: AND OUR PRODUCER
WENT ON AN INTREPID SEARCH TO FIND THE PERPETRATOR OF THAT
KISS AND YOUR NAME IS JEGENEJEN. WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN
YOU SAW THE KING? >> I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT AND I
SAID, MAY I KISS YOU? YES.
SO I GRABBED HIM, AND I'M VERY HAPPY, VERY, VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SEE HIM AND KISS HIM.
>> Reporter: HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU SAW HIM?
WHY DID YOU WANT TO DO THAT? >> I LOVE THE ROYAL FAMILY.
ALWAYS I'M WATCHING THEM, BY THE VENEER, FROM SMALL BABY TO
GROWING UP. >> Reporter: DID YOU EVER THINK
YOU'D KISS A KING ON THE LIPS? >> NO.
NO! NEVER CROSSED MY MIND.
>> Reporter: HE LOOKED RELAXED. DIDN'T HE?
CONSIDERING WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH?
>> YES. HE LOOKED SAD.
LOOKED SAD. I SAY, MAY I KISS YOU, AND HE
SAID, YEAH. >> Reporter: AND WHY ARE YOU
DOING THAT? COMFORT HIM?
REASSURE HIM OR JUST A FEELING THAT OVERCAME YOU?
>> YES. JUST A FEELING, ACTUALLY.
OH, MY GOD. IN THE FRONT, YES.
>> Reporter: VERY HEARTENING FOR HIM TO SEE THE REACTION FROM THE
CROWDS THERE. THE WARMTH.
>> YES. >> Reporter: DID YOU GET A SENSE
IT WAS COMFORTING FOR HIM? >> I THINK SO, YEAH, BECAUSE HE
WAS -- SMILING. HE DIDN'T SAY LIKE -- LOVELY AND
STARTED SMILING. >> Reporter: SHOWS HE'S NOT AT
UP TIGHT AS PEOPLE EXPECT A KING TO BE.
NOT AS NERVOUS. HE'S NOT AT --
>> NO, NO. HE'S PERFECT.
>> Reporter: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HIM?
>> LOVELY. HE'S PERFECT.
I'M ALWAYS LIKING HIM. >> Reporter: WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
>> I COME FROM SIDE AND FROM GREECE.
>> Reporter: PRINCE OF GREECE. >> YES.
>> Reporter: YOU FEEL LIKE KINSHIP?
>> YES. >> Reporter: WHAT WAS THE
ATMOSPHERE LIKE OUT THERE AMONGST THE CROWDS?
>> IT'S OKAY. EVERYBODY HAPPY.
YEAH. EVERYBODY --
>> Reporter: JENNY, YOU'RE GOING VIRAL AS WE SPEAK.
>> AND THE OTHER DAY, IT JUST -- CALLED FAMILY.
>> Reporter: YOUR SON, WHAT DID HE SAY?
>> HE SAID, I'M BUSY NOW. >> Reporter: THERE'S A STORY TO
TELL THE REST OF THE FAMILY. >> YES.
I'M VERY HAPPY. >> Reporter: JENNY VIDEO NOW
WORLD FAMOUS. BACK TO YOU GUYS.
>> I'LL TELL YOU, AS JOURNALISTS THERE ARE TIMES YOU'RE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO WITNESS HISTORIC, MEMORABLE MOMENTS, IN THE
MOMENT, AND I THINK THAT WAS JUST ONE OF THEM.
CERTAINLY THE BIGGER PICTURE. THE NEW KING GREETING THE CROWD,
BUT I THINK WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT --
>> THE KISS FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS.
>> JENNY'S KISS SEEN AROUND THE WORLD.
AND CNN MATTHEW CHANCE ALSO IN LONDON.
DOWN DO DOWNTOWN LONDON.
JUST DOWN THE STREET FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM THE PEOPLE?
>> Reporter: YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, JIM.
IN FACT, YOU CAN SEE BUCKINGHAM PALACE IN THE DISTANCE BEHIND
ME. THIS IS THE SORT OF RED PAVED
AVENUE WHICH LEADS RIGHT UP TO THAT MAIN ROYAL RESIDENCE UP
THERE, AND YOU CAN SEE. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, THAT ARE TAKING SOME TIME OUT OF THEIR
DAY TO GO TOWARDS THE GATES OF BUCKINGHAM PALACE WHERE THEY
CAN, YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY THERE TO MEET KING CHARLES III, AS WE'VE
JUST SEEN SOME OF THEM DOING, BUT ALSO TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS
TO QUEEN ELIZABETH II, OF COURSE, WHO PASSED AWAY
YESTERDAY. IT'S INTERESTING FOR ME, BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF
THIS MORNING, AND I HAVE TO SAY. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DIVISION
BETWEEN THE LEVEL OF SADNESS THAT PEOPLE ARE EXPRESSING.
I MEAN, THERE'S A GENERAL SADS IN, OF COURSE.
PEOPLE ARE VERY AFFECTIONIST TOWARDS QUEEN ELIZABETH AND SAD
TO SEE HER GO, BUT WHEN YOU SPEAK TO THE OLDER PEOPLE, OLDER
GENERATIONS HERE, THEY'RE VERY MUCH REMINDED THIS IS A PERSON
VERY MUCH ICONIC, WITH THEM MOST OF THEIR LIVES, ALL OF THEIR
LIVES IN MANY CASES AND HAVE KNOWN NO ONE ELSE.
SO THE QUEEN OCCUPIED THIS INCREDIBLY ICONIC AND UNIQUE
POSITION IN BRITISH SOCIETY. THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF, YOU
KNOW, GENERAL, UNSCIENTIFIC STRAW POLL, ALSO HAD AFFECTION
TOWARDS THE QUEEN, BUT OBVIOUSLY SHE'S NOT PLAYED QUITE AS BIG A
ROLE IN THEIR LIVES AS, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE IN THEIR 60s,
70s AND 80s. SO I THINK THERE'S A DIMINISHING
AMOUNT OF, YOU KNOW, SENSE THAT SHE EMBODIES THE PEOPLE, AND,
YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT EVEN THOUGH
THE ACCESSION OF THE THRONE HAS BEEN AUTOMATIC, FROM ELIZABETH
TO CHARLES, THE TRANSMISSION OF THE AUTHORITY AND OF THE RESPECT
THE QUEEN HAS ISN'T NECESSARILY AUTOMATIC.
SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT SEEKING KING CHARLES
III OUT TODAY RECEIVING A VERY WARM WELCOME FROM CROWDS.
