The First Year: Farewell Queen Elizabeth & Rise of King Charles

Subscribe and set 🔔 » https://7news.link/YTSubscribe | It has been one year since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The end of the monarchy as we all knew it. The beginning of the reign of King Charles III. One year on, what does his reign look like, how has the monarchy changed, is the royal family in a stronger position than many predicted it might be? And how Queen Elizabeth’s legacy might shape the royal family, and their kingdom, for years to come.
The longest-serving monarch in Britain’s history had been succeeded by her son, Charles. A role he had waited decades to assume. There was no time to grieve, instead, for King Charles III, duty called.
7NEWS Europe Bureau Chief Hugh Whitfeld has been covering the royal family for years.
On Sept 8. 2022, Hugh and cameraman James Cannon were the first journalists in the world on the scene at Balmoral as history was made.
In this documentary, Hugh recalls the historic day, and the aftermath that followed. Hugh is joined by royal expert and King Charles' biographer Robert Jobson, the Daily Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers, and royal commentator Angela Mollard. In this video, they look back at King Charles' first year, and how he dealt with the issues of Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and his increasingly slimmed-down monarchy.
A 7 News Royal Family Documentary.

Produced and Edited by Stefan Mitchell.
