00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: This is jam Nason withd Hello jonesy Amanda, good morning,

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Hello Hugh. You you're at Balmoral Castle. What have you

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: seen that led up to the announcement that the queen

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: had passed today. Well, obviously we had that news last

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: night your time that doctors were concerned for the Queen's

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: health and that they said that the Queen was comfortable.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Now none of that was good news. And then over

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: the course of the after particularly late on, members of

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: the royal family gathered here at Balmoral. Charles and Camilla

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: were not far away at their home at Birthle. Princess

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: Anne was also in Scotland, but other senior royals, Prince Andrew,

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Prince Edward, his wife Sophie, Prince William as well jumped

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: on a plane. They flew to Aberdeen. They came up

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: here in a convoy to Balmoral to see the queen. Unfortunately,

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: it does seem as though Prince Harry did not make

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: it up here in time. We saw him being driven in.

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: After the Queen's death was an hour that all led

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: up to that statement that came through at three point

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning Sydney time, six thirty in the

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: evening here that the c passed way, followed by a

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: statement from King Charles deferred as he is now beginning

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: his reign, picking up where his mother left golf after

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: her extraordinary seventy years on the throne, and in the

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: midst of his grief, he really has to step up

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: because he has a lot of duties coming his way

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: in the next few days and weeks, doesn't he he does.

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: His reign begins immediately. You know that there is a

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: reign is continuous but also broken in a while, in

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: that as soon as the Queen died, Charles became king.

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: It is immediate in the way that the monarchy works,

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: by divine right almost Charles immediately takes on all that

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: responsibility as the head of stated not just the UK,

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: but Australia, fifteen realm nations right around the world. And

34
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: what we're going to see over the next ten to

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: twelve is a commemoration of the Queen's life, a celebration

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: of her life with formalities and events and services that

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: will take place in London and across the UK, but

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: also the beginning of chances reign and that will involve

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: visits around the UK and important meetings that he will

40
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: need to attend to be proclaimed king. So it is

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: a busy time for him at a moment of immense morning,

42
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: but it is also something that his mother did and

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: he will keep that in the back of his mind,

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And bow Moral, what's the mood like outside

45
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: the castle? There's a lot of people there, not as

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: gradiately meaning unfortunately, there's not a city the size of

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: London here at the Moral. It is a remote rural

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: location for about an hour and fifteen minutes west of Aberdeen,

49
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: the closest big city about twin The people so many

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Michaels who are familiar with the Moral. They know about

51
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the royal family coming here every summer, coming here to

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: lace and flowers lined up along the stone wall at

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the gates here to Balmoral Castle. Now a slow dribble

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: over the course of the evening and a lot of

55
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: people reflecting in the rain about the impacts that the

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Queen has had on their lives on this area as well.

57
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: You know, the Queen's a big employer here. The Balmoralis

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: State employees people in this local district. It keeps food

59
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: on families tables. Will have a big impact on this

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: little community as well well. Hugh, thank you for joining us.
