THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE UNITED
KINGDOM UNDER THIS MONARCHY.
NICK IS JOINING US NOW.
ROYAL EXPERT.
NICK, GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS DAY AND
WHAT WE HAVE WITNESSED SO FAR?
>> WELL, IT’S GREAT TO BE WITH
YOU.
THANK YOU VERY IFING ME.
I THINK LOTS OF YOUR
COMMENTATORS HAVE SAID IT AND
YOU GUYS HAVE SAID IT, IT’S BEEN
AN AMAZING DAY FOR BRITAIN AS
PIERS SAID.
WE DO PAGEANTRY INCREDIBLY WELL.
IF YOU’RE TUNING IN ANYWHERE
AROUND THE WORLD TO WATCH THIS,
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT WE’VE DONE IT
BRILLIANTLY AND PIERS SAID
EARLIER, JUBILEE AND FUNERAL AND
CORONATION, THEY’RE ALWAYS
FLAWLESS AND IT’S PRECISION AND
IT’S THE PAGEANTRY BECAUSE TEEM TAKE AWAY EVERY TIME.
TAKE AWAY EVERY TIME.
IT’S A GREAT DAY FOR ALL OF US.
JAIRE I’M NOT CONVINCED THIS
COUNTRY ANY TIME SOON AND BY
THAT I MEAN DECADES AND DECADES
IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY MOVE TO
TRY AND GET RID OF THIS GIVEN
WHAT WE’RE WITNESSING TODAY.
>> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THE FUTURE OF THE MONARCHY IS
REALLY WELL SAID AND I’VE MADE
PROGRAMS WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY
AND WE’VE TALKED WITH THEM ABOUT
HOW THEY OPERATE A 100 YEAR PLAN
AND WE’RE NOT THINKING ABOUT
WHEN WILLIAM TAKES OVER OR WHEN
GEORGE TAKES OVER BUT WHEN
GEORGE’S GRANDCHILDREN TAKES
OVER AND THEY’RE THINKING 100
YEARS AHEAD AND PEOPLE IN
BRITAIN REALLY WANT THE ROYAL
FAMILY STILL.
THEY SORT OF THE OTHER OPTIONS
JUST AREN’T REALLY THINGS WE’D
CONSIDER.
IN AMERICA, WE DID A SURVEY ON
MY TV CHANNEL DID A SURVEY
RECENTLY IN AMERICA TO SEE WHAT
AMERICANS THINK OF THE ROYAL
FAMILY.
THERE WERE 34 MILLION AMERICANS.
THAT’S 34 MILLION AMERICANS WHO
SAID THEY WERE AVID ROYAL FANS.
THEN THERE WERE ANOTHER
35 MILLION WHO ALSO SAID THEY
WERE TRULY FASCINATED BY THE
ROYAL FAMILY SO I THINK WHEN YOU
HAVE THIS BODY OF SUPPORT
WHETHER IT’S HERE OR IN THE
STATES OR AROUND THE WORLD, THIS
ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE.
>> WELL, WE PREFER THAT DIANA
WAS A MODERNIZER AND
OVERSHADOWED HIM AND CROWDS WANT
TO SEE HER.
IS HE TAKE AGO PAGE OUT OF HER
BOOK AND TRYING TO MODERNIZE NOW
AND TRYING TO SLIM DOWN THE
MONARCHY AND SHOW THE PEOPLE
THAT HE IS MORE PROGRESSIVE AND
HE TALKS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT ALL THE TIME AND BEEN DOING THAT
ALL THE TIME AND BEEN DOING THAT
SINCE BEFORE IT WAS COOL.
>>
>>, YOU’RE RIGHT AND I FEEL A
LOT WITH THE PRINCE OF WALES AND
KING AND HE WAS SO AHEAD OF HIS
TIME WITH ALL THIS AND HE’S BEEN
A MODERNIZER AND I REMEMBER BACK
IN THE EARLY 70S HE WAS
RIDICULED IN THE PAPERS FOR
WANTING TO PUT A MACHINE INTO
BUCKINGHAM PALACE THAT WOULD
RECYCLE CLASS AND EVERYBODY SAID
HE WAS RIDICULOUS AND TAKING
THINGS TOO FAR AND RECYCLING
GLASS NOW DOESN’T SEEM THAT
MODERN DOES IT?
HE WAS THERE WELL AHEAD OF
ANYBODY AND TODAY’S CORONATION
HAS DONE THE SAME THING AND IT
HAD ALL THE POMP AND PAGEANTRY
AND HISTORY THAT WE WANT, BUT IT
ALSO FELT VERY MODERN.
YOU HAVE THE GOSPEL CHOIR AND
LOTS OF CELEBRITIES.
IT WAS A BROAD ARRANGE OF
PEOPLE.
THE CLOTHES WERE NOT AS ARCHAIC
IN THE PAST WITH THE BROADER
CONGREGATION.
HE’S A MODERNIZER BUT DOES IT
VERY WELL.
THE PRINCESS ROYAL SAYS IT BEST
I THINK IS THE ROYAL FAMILY
SUSPECT ABOUT REFININGS IT’S
ABOUT EVOLUTION AND THAT’S WHAT
WE’RE SEEING WITH THE KING.
IT’S GOOD, STEADY, EVOLUTION.
>> ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
>> YEAH, WE JUST SAW THE
PRINCESS ROYAL, PRINCESS AN
MOMENTS AGO AS SHE SAID EARLIER
THIS WEEK THAT SHE WAS RELIEVED
TO BE RIDING HER HORSE ALONG
NEXT TO THE COACH BECAUSE IT
TOOK THE WHAT TO WEAR QUESTION
OFF OF THE PLATE.
SHE LOVED TO WEAR HER UNIFORM.
SHE’S A VERY VIBRANT AND ACTIVE
HORSE WOMAN AND SAW HER IN
KINSINGTON GARDENS OUT THERE AND
OUT WITH -- KENSINGTON GARDENS
AND SHE WAS OUT THERE AND SHE’S
A VERY VIBRANT MEMBER AND LOOK
AT TWO OF THEM PLAYING TOGETHER
AND THE LIFE THEY’VE HAD
TOGETHER GROWING UP WITH THEIR
MOTHER HAS PREPARED THEM FOR
THIS MOMENT SO NOW YOU SEE
EVERYBODY WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN
PART OF THE PROCESSION SORT OF
GATHERING OUT --
>> STUNG UNIFORM.
>> AMAZING.
ALL THE DIFFERENT REGIMENTS AND
HISTORIES OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF
THE MILITARY.
NICK, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
REALLY WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU
