Our queen, she was the queen of the commonwealth, she was a world figure, primarily. she s a mother. she was a wife, a grandmother. and from that perspective, that will be a significant family element. of course, to this funeral, even though it will be before the cameras of the world s media. yeah. do you think, sir, lastly, that the crown will lose some of the influence it has had over the past hundreds of years, particularly this past 70 years? well, i think queen elizabeth was a one off in terms of the longevity, in terms of the particular diplomatic skills the king charles has been waiting for this for some time. it s not as if he s just thrust into this from day one . he s been apprenticed. he s been practicing part of the role already. i think he is a monarch who will hit the ground running and any doubts people may have about the influence of the crown, i think will end very quickly because i think he will be a very active and vigorous monarch who will be looking to extend t ....
