00:01:08.780 of the torch. It's September 9th, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:01:12.000 Shame on you, you censorious bug.

00:01:25.900 Well, who better to talk about Queen Elizabeth and her successor, King Charles III, than our

00:01:33.740 friend Conrad Black, a man who has spent much of his career and life and political life in

00:01:39.440 the United Kingdom. He joins us now. Great to see you again. Thanks for having me, Ezra. What

00:01:44.340 a momentous day. Yes. It's like you wake up every day of your life and there's a mountain

00:01:48.480 out there, and then one day the mountain's gone and you realize it wasn't a mountain. It was

00:01:52.740 a woman made of flesh and bone. She lived in 96, but she's gone. There is a feeling of

00:01:58.700 loss, like a family member gone. I agree. I think there are scores of

00:02:02.280 millions of people, and I'm one of them who didn't realize until she died what a fixture

00:02:09.120 she was in our lives, you know? I mean, not that I knew her especially well or had seen

00:02:14.220 her in recent years. That's not my point. It's just she was a fixture in the public life

00:02:19.240 of the world, and particularly of countries she had an association with, like this one.

00:02:23.200 You know, in an era of excess, of Kim Kardashian, of Meghan Markle, there she was a symbol of restraint

00:02:31.980 and modesty. And if it's possible for a queen to be humble, I would say she did it. I mean,

00:02:37.540 certain things are impossible for a queen to be. You can't be cheap as a queen, but she wasn't 1.00

00:02:42.860 lavish beyond, you know, what a queen must be. Well, she used the instances of the British monarchy 0.99

00:02:49.540 that had been translated down to her over centuries as they should be used, but she never implied or

00:02:57.740 indeed personally embraced individual extravagance. So yes, there were the crown jewels and the royal

00:03:04.860 collection and the palaces and so on, but she herself, as the country could detect, lived quite

00:03:11.060 modestly. She liked driving her own Range Rover on her property with her corgis, and she didn't dress

00:03:16.620 up if she wasn't expected to for a state occasion. And you're right that she managed to play it right

00:03:24.940 down the center. She was not commonplace. She was the queen, but she was never pompous, never ceremonious. 0.98

00:03:32.540 She had a good sense of humor, easy smile, but never frivolous or silly.

00:03:37.340 Uh, and, and, and she managed this for 70 years without a single slip. That is the most amazing

00:03:43.480 thing. Not once in 70 years did she embarrass or annoy, uh, anyone of the scores of millions of

00:03:50.760 people that she served. Yeah. You know, um, there are people who were born into wealth or high station

00:03:57.000 and it can drive the man. I mean, I think of Hunter Biden, maybe that's not a fair comparison,

00:04:01.400 but his father was vice president. He had access to power and money and fame and he went the wrong

00:04:07.440 way. Here is a woman who, as you point out in 70 years of service, it didn't get to her. She didn't

00:04:12.880 become angry or, or frustrated. She didn't seem like she felt trapped. Like the, I can only imagine

00:04:19.860 the temptations of that office of how it would transform you. She seemed genuine right to the end

00:04:26.360 and maybe she was a very good actor about it, but she never seemed bored or condescending for 70 years.

00:04:33.260 Never condescending. She may well have been bored at times, but she disguised that. That was her

00:04:38.040 absolutely implacable sense of duty, which to be fair, she got from her parents. I mean, her father

00:04:43.940 never wished to be king, never expected to be king, was pressed into the office when the powers that be

00:04:50.340 in that country determined that his brother was not an appropriate person to be king. But he served

00:04:56.800 and was a beloved king because he was completely selfless and he died early because of the burdens

00:05:03.120 of that office in wartime and so on. And the queen inherited that. And I think it's fair to say that

00:05:10.800 she was taken for granted, not disregarded, but taken for granted without particular enthusiasm

00:05:17.940 for much of her reign, respected, well-liked, but, but not, not with a devoted or, or, or, um, what should I say? Uh, uh, uh, agile, adulatory following. But since the death of Diana and of the Queen Mother, she's steadily become, I think, uh, something to which the British public and to some extent other parts of the Commonwealth have become addicted to. And she became such an immense presence.

00:05:46.860 And her, her, her longevity created a kind of cumulative respect. It's like a denim bursting. When she dies, everyone, everyone is agreed that, that she was really a splendid example of public service.

00:06:01.620 I think she was slightly too young to be part of what has been called the greatest generation. Um, but she was alive and awake to the second world.

00:06:11.020 She got the end of it. She was, uh, as you know, a mechanic in the home guard in the last year of the war. I might, I just want to say the great, the greatest generation was as described that it was because it had the greatest leaders. It was really because of the leadership of Roosevelt and Churchill and the military chiefs, MacArthur and Eisenhower and Montgomery and people like this, that, you know, we got through the depression, won the greatest, just war in history with, in the West, relatively modest casualties.

00:06:40.020 Given the size of the war. And, and, and then, and then there was a tremendous prosperity after the war and, and, um, uh, but, but the, the leaders led and the people followed and we had, you know, as it was, it was a, it was a, the best generation in all respects at the, at the grassroots and at the top.

00:06:58.180 Yeah. That's a good point. And she herself was a leader, even though she was a young leader. Yes. I only learned from Boris Johnson's wonderful eulogy, which we'll play in. Very fine. Um, that when she was 14, she gave a message to other 14, other young people. Yes. We'll get through this. And then the famous pictures of her being a mechanic.

00:07:16.180 I mean, the idea of a princess getting mucky with oil and grease. And she still, I mean, right up to last week, she could still repair a car, you know, which I couldn't do. I don't know if you could.

00:07:26.500 And, and, and I think that gave her an affection for soldiers and the British army forever.

00:07:32.100 Look, she, she had it from when her father became the king. And if you look at the news film of her, of accompanying her parents in a naval review at Spithead, just outside Southampton, uh, in 1937 with then Lord Mountbatten, uh, and she, he would point out to her, uh, you know, the battleship Texas representing the U.S.

00:07:56.400 and the Graf Spee representing the Germans and, and so on. And, and, uh, you, you could see that she was taking it all in and, and, uh, she had this wonderful combination of being serious without being, uh, either, either pompous or grim, you know?

00:08:14.580 So she, she took it all in, but, but in a, in an amicable way.

00:08:20.180 Yeah. You know, there was a sense of humor that she had. And of course, her late husband had a wonderful sense of humor.

00:08:25.620 It was politically incorrect sometimes. I want to play for you a short clip that I just saw yesterday on British TV. Uh, I mean, it's almost too much to believe that an American tourist was in Scotland and encountered her and, and someone else and said, Oh, do you, Oh, you're from around here.

00:08:44.820 Have you ever met the queen? Let me just play for you this clip. It's too far. I, I want to believe this is true. It's almost too much to believe this isn't true, but I can believe it here. Take a quick look at this.

00:08:55.780 And one of the picnics I went out with her, we had a lovely picnic and a lovely chat. And then we went for a little walk, just the two of us. And normally on these picnic sites, you, you meet nobody, but there was two hikers coming towards us.

00:09:09.220 And the queen would always stop and say hello. And it was two Americans on a walking holiday. And it was clear from the moment that we first stopped, they hadn't recognized the queen, which is fine.

00:09:18.540 And the American gentleman was telling the queen where he came from, where they were going to next and where they'd been to in Britain. And I could see it coming. And sure enough, he said, my majesty, and where do you live?

00:09:31.140 And she said, well, I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills. And he said, well, how often have you been coming up here?

00:09:39.360 Oh, she said, I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl. So over 80 years. And you could see the clogs thinking. He said, well, if you've been coming up here for 80 years,

00:09:47.040 you must have met the queen. And as quick as a flash, she says, well, I haven't. The dick here meets her regularly. 0.98

00:09:55.220 So the guy said to me, well, you've met the queen. What's she like? And because I was with her a long time and I knew I could pull a leg, 0.99

00:10:01.480 I said, oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humor. 0.87

00:10:06.920 Anyway, the next thing I knew, this guy comes around, put his arm around my shoulder. And before I could see what was happening,

00:10:12.840 he gets his camera, gives it to the queen and says, can you take a picture of the two of us?

00:10:17.040 Anyway, we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the queen and we never let on and we waved goodbye.

00:10:23.720 And then her majesty said to me, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows us photographs to the friends in America.

00:10:28.980 And hopefully someone tells him who I am.

00:10:31.400 She had a sense of humor. And I mean, you can see that her, her butler, aide, whoever that was said, well,

00:10:36.400 she's cantankerous, but has a sense of humor. I think, I think you have to. And I, I don't think that she was self.

00:10:42.200 There's a kind of humor that everyone loves, self-deprecating humor. I don't think a queen can or should be self-deprecating because to deprecate herself would be to deprecate her personification of the state. 0.99

00:10:54.640 So I don't think a queen can mock herself in the same way.

00:10:59.000 It's certainly more comforting.

00:11:00.060 Yeah. But, but I, I think that she managed to be as funny as a queen should, should ever be.

00:11:06.740 And I think her husband filled the gaps.

00:11:08.800 Yeah. Yeah. No. And I agree. I mean, I, I was asked a few things, uh, uh, the day she died to reminiscences.

00:11:17.060 No, the one example I gave about, if I may, was when I, I was the honorary colonel of the governor general's foot guards in the late nineties.

00:11:25.840 And the queen was in Canada and she was giving us a, you know, a, a, a renewal of colors, you see.

00:11:32.160 So it was a regimental event. It was, uh, it was, uh, the temperature was 99 degrees Fahrenheit in Ottawa.

00:11:38.480 And, um, the, the, the uniform I had was for winter events, you know, and, and Canadian military uniforms aren't very stylish at the best of times.

00:11:47.780 And, and, um, so I, there I was doing my best not to perspire. And she said, I'm not used to seeing you dress like this.

00:11:55.740 I used to see her in London from time to time, just in the normal course, you know.

00:11:59.820 And so I, I thought of, uh, when Elvis Presley met President Nixon and he was wearing a brown satin suit and Mr. Nixon said, you're rather flamboyantly dressed.

00:12:12.420 So I took Elvis's line and I said, well, your majesty, you dress for your job and I dress for mine.

00:12:17.780 He said, ah, but I have a better costumer.

00:12:21.960 Yeah. You know, she's, she was quick with the quip. I mean, um, she certainly was, well, you know, I mentioned Boris Johnson's eulogy and Boris Johnson has his flaws, but the man has a way with words.

00:12:32.600 Oh yeah. And then he was shabbily treated and he'll be back to you. Not necessarily as prime minister, but he'll be back as a force in the politics.

00:12:38.940 Well, I mean, he's clearly, uh, still a young, young man in politics. And I think he rose to the occasion yesterday.

00:12:45.640 I want to play and please stay with me for eight minutes. This is an eight minute clip and I, I do want to play it now and I want you to stick with it.

00:12:53.680 And that won't be hard for you to do. It'll get your attention in the first 30 seconds. Watch this eight minute clip.

00:13:00.300 And then when we come back, I'm going to ask Conrad Black about the new King. It's still not even, I'm not used to saying that, you know, all these things like the court of King's bench in Canada.

00:13:11.540 And we go back to singing God save the king. Yeah. It's going to take a while to get used to that.

00:13:17.280 Uh, so watch this wonderful speech in the house of commons by Boris Johnson. And don't you go away. Come right back here. Take a look.

00:13:23.880 Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope the house will not mind if I begin with a personal confession. A few months ago, the BBC came to see me to talk about her majesty, the queen.

00:13:33.080 And we sat down and the cameras started rolling and they requested that I should talk about her in the past tense.

00:13:42.360 And I'm afraid I simply choked up and I couldn't go on. I'm really not easily moved to tears, but I was so overcome with sadness that I had to ask them to go away.

00:13:55.260 And I know that today there are countless people in this country and around the world who have experienced the same sudden access of unexpected emotion.

00:14:11.220 And I think millions of us are trying to understand why we are feeling this deep and personal and almost familial sense of loss.

00:14:22.240 Perhaps it's partly that she's always been there, a changeless human reference point in British life. 0.98

00:14:30.260 The person who, all the surveys say, appears most often in our dreams.

00:14:36.800 So unvarying in her pole star radiance that we have perhaps been lulled into thinking that she might be in some way eternal.

00:14:45.600 But I think our shock is keener today because we are coming to understand in her death the full magnitude of what she did for us all.

00:14:58.480 And think of what we asked that 25-year-old woman all those years ago to be the person so globally trusted that her image should be on every unit of our currency,

00:15:16.420 every postage stamp, every postage stamp, the person in whose name all justice is dispensed in this country,

00:15:23.700 every law passed, to whom every minister of the Crown swears allegiance,

00:15:28.240 and for whom every member of our armed services is pledged, if necessary, to lay down their lives.

00:15:35.800 Think what we asked of her in that moment, not just to be the living embodiment in her DNA of the history and continuity and unity of this country,

00:15:51.600 but to be the figurehead of our entire system, the keystone in the vast arch of the British state,

00:16:00.340 a role that only she could fulfil because, in the brilliant and durable bargain of the constitutional monarchy,

00:16:10.860 only she could be trusted to be above any party political or commercial interest,

00:16:17.800 and to incarnate impartially the very concept and essence of the nation.

00:16:25.160 Think what we asked of her, and think what she gave. 0.74

00:16:31.340 She showed the world not just how to reign over a people,

00:16:36.780 she showed the world how to give, how to love, and how to serve.

00:16:43.080 And as we look back at that vast arc of service, its sheer duration is almost impossible to take in.

00:16:50.120 She was the last living person in British public life to have served in uniform in the Second World War.

00:16:58.840 She was the first female member of the royal family in a thousand years to serve full-time in the armed forces,

00:17:06.740 and that impulse to do her duty carried her right through into her tenth decade to the very moment in Balmoral,

00:17:16.560 as my Right Honoural Fenton said, only three days ago, when she saw off her 14th Prime Minister

00:17:23.320 and welcomed her 15th, and I can tell you, in that audience,

00:17:29.820 she was as radiant and as knowledgeable and as fascinated by politics as ever I can remember,

00:17:37.040 and as wise in her advice as anyone I know, if not wiser.

00:17:45.220 And over that extraordinary span of public service, with her naturally retentive and inquiring mind,

00:17:51.720 I think, and doubtless many of the 15 would agree,

00:17:55.460 that she became the greatest statesman and diplomat of all.

00:17:59.880 And she knew instinctively how to cheer up the nation, how to lead a celebration.

00:18:08.600 I remember her innocent joy more than 10 years ago after the opening ceremony of the London Olympics,

00:18:16.880 when I told her that the leader of a friendly Middle Eastern country

00:18:20.480 seemed actually to believe that she had jumped out of a helicopter

00:18:24.860 in a pink dress and parachuted into the stadium.

00:18:31.660 And I remember her equal pleasure on being told just a few weeks ago

00:18:36.400 that she had been a smash hit in her performance with Paddington Bear.

00:18:41.200 And perhaps more importantly,

00:18:43.760 she knew how to keep us going when times were toughest.

00:18:47.780 In 1940, when this country and this democracy

00:18:52.860 faced the real possibility of extinction,

00:18:55.780 she gave a broadcast, aged only 14,

00:18:59.940 that was intended to reassure the children of Britain.

00:19:03.320 She said then,

00:19:05.640 we know, every one of us,

00:19:08.700 that in the end, all will be well.

00:19:12.680 She was right.

00:19:13.720 And she was right again in the darkest days of the COVID pandemic

00:19:19.360 when she came on our screens and told us that we would meet again.

00:19:23.060 And we did.

00:19:25.100 And I know I speak for other Prime Ministers,

00:19:28.640 when I say ex-Prime Ministers,

00:19:29.880 when I say that she helped to comfort and guide us

00:19:34.080 as well as the nation,

00:19:35.860 because she had the patience and the sense of history

00:19:39.540 to see that troubles come and go

00:19:42.720 and that disasters are seldom as bad as they seem.

00:19:47.680 And it was that indomitability,

00:19:50.220 that humour,

00:19:52.680 that work ethic and that sense of history

00:19:54.680 which together made her Elizabeth the Great.

00:19:58.900 And when I call her that,

00:20:01.100 I should add one final quality,

00:20:03.920 of course,

00:20:04.300 which was her humility,

00:20:07.040 her single bar electric fire Tupperware

00:20:10.100 using refusal to be ground.

00:20:15.260 And unlike us politicians,

00:20:18.080 with our outriders and our armour-plated convoys,

00:20:21.920 I can tell you as a direct eyewitness

00:20:24.380 that she drove herself in her own car

00:20:28.260 with no detectives and no bodyguard,

00:20:31.500 bouncing at alarming speed

00:20:33.340 over the Scottish landscape

00:20:35.280 to the total amazement

00:20:36.660 of the ramblers and the tourists we encountered.

00:20:40.180 And it is that indomitable spirit

00:20:44.160 with which she created

00:20:46.220 the modern constitutional monarchy.

00:20:50.580 An institution so strong

00:20:52.280 and so happy

00:20:54.040 and so well understood,

00:20:55.900 not just in this country,

00:20:57.400 but in the Commonwealth

00:20:58.180 and around the world,

00:21:00.180 that this succession

00:21:01.520 has already seamlessly taken place.

00:21:05.020 And I believe she would regard it

00:21:06.400 as her own highest achievement,

00:21:08.540 that her son, Charles III,

00:21:11.760 will clearly and amply follow

00:21:13.680 her own extraordinary standards

00:21:15.980 of duty and service.

00:21:18.400 And the fact that today

00:21:21.680 we can say with such confidence

00:21:23.260 God save the King

00:21:25.600 is a tribute to him,

00:21:28.160 but above all to Elizabeth the Great,

00:21:30.820 who worked so hard

00:21:32.400 for the good of her country,

00:21:34.080 not just now,

00:21:35.620 but for generations to come.

00:21:38.000 That is why we mourn her so deeply.

00:21:41.860 And it is in the depths of our grief

00:21:44.420 that we understand why

00:21:46.820 we loved her so much.

00:21:49.360 Well, you know what?

00:21:50.500 He nailed it.

00:21:51.440 And it was touching.

00:21:52.960 And Elizabeth the Great, 0.56

00:21:54.360 I think it's true.

00:21:55.600 I mean, she wasn't a conqueror, really.

00:21:57.740 She was not in the age of conquering.

00:22:00.180 But I think she was everything

00:22:01.980 she should have been,

00:22:02.680 a diplomat,

00:22:03.860 an encourager.

00:22:05.960 In tough times,

00:22:07.320 she felt like a place of solace.

00:22:09.620 I don't know.

00:22:10.340 I can't believe I'm

00:22:11.760 a little bit sentimental about it.

00:22:13.620 Maybe it's just for the bygone era.

00:22:15.580 She represents a wonderful century

00:22:17.240 that's gone.

00:22:17.920 Look, when a person of that

00:22:19.720 superlative quality of competence

00:22:22.900 and dutifulness goes

00:22:25.880 after such a long time,

00:22:27.800 you know you're not going

00:22:28.580 to replace her easily.

00:22:29.540 So it's quite natural

00:22:30.340 to feel the nostalgia.

00:22:31.780 Let me just say one thing

00:22:33.880 on a comparative basis.

00:22:35.820 She made a tremendous effort

00:22:37.540 with the Commonwealth.

00:22:38.540 I mean, she's really been

00:22:39.440 the first queen of the Commonwealth.

00:22:41.660 Her father was there briefly

00:22:43.380 and then he died prematurely

00:22:44.720 just five years after

00:22:46.540 the independence of India.

00:22:48.460 And look, the Commonwealth,

00:22:51.700 as we all know,

00:22:52.280 has its shortcomings.

00:22:54.080 But it does sort of work.

00:22:57.140 And the advanced countries

00:22:58.860 within the Commonwealth

00:22:59.660 are in general quite helpful

00:23:02.100 to the developing countries.

00:23:03.560 And, you know,

00:23:04.040 there are problems at times.

00:23:05.740 But in general,

00:23:06.980 it coheres

00:23:08.400 and it achieves something

00:23:09.840 in the world.

00:23:10.900 And I don't want to be unkind,

00:23:12.620 but if you compare that

00:23:13.700 to the former empires

00:23:15.740 of the other European

00:23:16.740 colonial powers,

00:23:18.160 it shows what an achievement

00:23:19.860 the queen has had

00:23:20.600 because she really

00:23:21.420 has made the Commonwealth

00:23:22.780 the positive force

00:23:23.900 that it is.

00:23:24.480 That's a great point.

00:23:24.900 I mean, the French

00:23:26.240 have kept it together

00:23:27.240 a little bit,

00:23:28.340 but just by sending

00:23:29.480 a thousand paratroopers

00:23:30.920 here and there

00:23:31.520 to prevent complete disorder.

00:23:33.460 But the Portuguese, 0.99

00:23:34.720 the Dutch,

00:23:35.740 the Spanish,

00:23:36.640 it's a shambles.

00:23:37.680 And there's no relationship

00:23:39.120 at all with the parent,

00:23:40.080 the former parent country.

00:23:41.440 I mean,

00:23:41.820 she has done that

00:23:42.940 and it is an achievement.

00:23:44.380 Yeah, that's a great point.

00:23:45.680 Well, let's talk about

00:23:46.680 the new king

00:23:47.340 and it'll take me.

00:23:49.580 It's like when you

00:23:50.620 win the new year,

00:23:51.920 you sign your new checks.

00:23:53.340 Are you saying 2022

00:23:54.500 or 2023?

00:23:55.640 Except for it's 96 years

00:23:56.960 of saying queen.

00:23:58.080 So now we say king again.

00:24:00.360 And this isn't the day

00:24:01.880 to be petty or political.

00:24:05.840 I hope he rises to the cage.

00:24:07.660 I think he comes in

00:24:09.140 on a tremendous wave

00:24:10.460 of goodwill.

00:24:12.540 Normally,

00:24:13.020 when you get a person

00:24:14.400 coming into an office,

00:24:15.560 whether it's a new

00:24:16.300 prime minister

00:24:16.960 or a president

00:24:17.520 or monarch,

00:24:18.440 whatever it is,

00:24:19.720 people are disposed,

00:24:21.940 as they should be,

00:24:22.760 to hope for the best,

00:24:24.360 give him or her a chance,

00:24:25.900 you know,

00:24:26.660 and just hope it goes well.

00:24:28.180 And I think he will

00:24:29.200 benefit from that.

00:24:30.040 I think he'll be,

00:24:31.540 for what my two cents

00:24:33.240 are worth,

00:24:33.520 I think he'll be fine

00:24:34.600 as long as he remembers

00:24:37.200 that he is now

00:24:38.760 representing everyone

00:24:39.780 and not just giving

00:24:40.540 his own opinions.

00:24:41.280 If he doesn't moderate

00:24:43.380 the sharpness

00:24:46.060 of some of his opinions

00:24:47.420 expressed quite reasonably

00:24:49.940 in the sense

00:24:50.800 that he had every right

00:24:51.540 to it

00:24:51.820 when he was

00:24:52.660 the Prince of Wales,

00:24:54.000 particularly in areas

00:24:55.180 of environment

00:24:55.720 and so on,

00:24:56.360 when people are

00:24:57.100 suffering terribly

00:24:58.380 from increasing

00:24:59.540 prices of gasoline

00:25:01.120 and home fuel

00:25:01.720 and so on.

00:25:02.280 If he plays it

00:25:04.820 carefully and diplomatically

00:25:05.940 in that area,

00:25:06.740 I think he'll be fine.

00:25:07.860 He'll be very conscientious.

00:25:09.220 He'll work hard.

00:25:10.920 He's a very agreeable personality.

00:25:13.340 He's an intelligent man.

00:25:14.280 I think it'll be fine.

00:25:15.800 But I just hope

00:25:17.220 he doesn't backslide

00:25:19.040 and forget himself

00:25:19.980 and say things

00:25:20.920 that are bound to offend

00:25:21.920 at least half the people.

00:25:23.220 Yeah.

00:25:24.000 And fair enough.

00:25:24.920 I mean,

00:25:25.440 he's had to wait a while.

00:25:28.520 And so,

00:25:29.380 as you say,

00:25:30.060 it's understandable

00:25:30.640 for a man

00:25:31.100 to have opinions

00:25:31.720 about things.

00:25:32.320 And in some quarters,

00:25:33.960 having the conventional opinion

00:25:36.320 on global warming

00:25:37.320 or whatever he's talking about,

00:25:38.720 it almost seems apolitical,

00:25:40.680 although it's not.

00:25:41.360 It's never apolitical.

00:25:41.880 No, but look,

00:25:42.560 he's been telling us

00:25:43.460 for 30 years

00:25:44.340 that we had 10 years

00:25:45.660 of the world,

00:25:46.380 you know,

00:25:46.540 Venice would be underwater.

00:25:47.780 He said a lot of

00:25:48.540 harebrained things,

00:25:49.640 but so did a lot of people.

00:25:50.800 It doesn't matter

00:25:51.700 as long as he doesn't

00:25:52.460 repeat them now.

00:25:53.340 Right, right.

00:25:53.580 I hope you're right.

00:25:54.480 And I think you're right.

00:25:56.340 If he is no longer,

00:25:57.760 well, I'm a prince,

00:25:58.500 but if he's a king

00:25:59.480 for everyone,

00:26:00.740 then hopefully

00:26:01.640 he'll leave that behind him.

00:26:03.620 And how about

00:26:04.240 the generation behind him?

00:26:06.620 I understand that

00:26:07.660 William will be

00:26:08.400 the new Prince of Wales,

00:26:10.980 I understand.

00:26:11.500 I don't,

00:26:12.100 I think he's now,

00:26:13.280 as of today,

00:26:13.960 I think he's the Duke of Cornwall.

00:26:15.400 Okay.

00:26:15.940 The Prince of Wales,

00:26:17.080 it's a formal investiture

00:26:18.320 and deference to the Welsh,

00:26:19.520 you know,

00:26:19.800 but I think that can't be far off.

00:26:21.540 Right.

00:26:22.520 And you know what?

00:26:23.460 He gives me

00:26:23.940 a little bit of hope too.

00:26:25.240 Yeah, well, he seems to be,

00:26:26.340 look, I don't know,

00:26:27.060 I've never met him,

00:26:27.680 but he seems to be

00:26:28.220 a good, reasonable,

00:26:29.640 nice guy.

00:26:30.400 I mean, you don't need

00:26:32.160 Disraeli or Churchill

00:26:34.160 or Thatcher as the monarch.

00:26:35.600 You need someone

00:26:36.840 like the late queen. 0.91

00:26:37.760 Or George VI.

00:26:39.780 Well, speaking of,

00:26:40.720 I mean, Disraeli

00:26:41.440 was the prime minister,

00:26:42.880 of course.

00:26:43.860 There is a new prime minister

00:26:45.320 in the UK

00:26:45.940 who I think was

00:26:46.820 the 15th prime minister

00:26:48.380 to serve under.

00:26:50.000 That is right.

00:26:50.560 But she also knew

00:26:51.580 a number of the previous ones.

00:26:52.960 She knew Mr. Atley,

00:26:54.440 who was leader of the opposition

00:26:55.540 when she became queen.

00:26:57.140 She knew Mr. Chamberlain.

00:26:58.940 She knew Mr. Baldwin.

00:27:00.280 So, yes,

00:27:00.980 the 15th while she was queen.

00:27:02.660 Do you know anything

00:27:04.000 about Liz Truss?

00:27:05.080 I don't know much about her.

00:27:05.620 Yes, I do.

00:27:06.080 I do.

00:27:06.340 And I had dinner with her

00:27:07.780 a few years ago.

00:27:09.020 Look, I think she's off

00:27:12.660 to a brilliant start.

00:27:13.960 She's stylishly,

00:27:16.040 she's quite different

00:27:17.300 from what we've seen.

00:27:18.300 She's got,

00:27:19.120 you know,

00:27:19.360 the British are quite 1.00

00:27:20.840 perceptive in matters

00:27:22.000 of socioeconomic origin,

00:27:24.180 you know,

00:27:24.380 and she's got an accent

00:27:25.860 that is

00:27:27.420 a lower

00:27:30.700 socioeconomic echelon

00:27:33.300 of the middle class

00:27:34.140 than Mrs. Thatcher's,

00:27:35.260 Lady Thatcher's.

00:27:37.020 You know,

00:27:37.200 she's got a bit

00:27:37.780 of a working class accent.

00:27:39.140 She went to a state school

00:27:40.200 but to Oxford University.

00:27:41.800 She has slightly colorful 0.94

00:27:43.140 romantic history,

00:27:44.660 not scandalous,

00:27:45.600 but colorful

00:27:46.100 and the people like that.

00:27:47.860 And I think she's

00:27:48.980 very politically astute.

00:27:50.420 I mean,

00:27:50.540 she's only in her 40s.

00:27:51.640 She's in that great office.

00:27:52.860 And she stood

00:27:55.060 for the leadership

00:27:56.000 of her party.

00:27:57.260 First of all,

00:27:57.920 she did not double-cross Boris,

00:27:59.800 which puts her

00:28:00.580 in a minority

00:28:01.120 in the former government

00:28:02.080 and is a great credit to her.

00:28:03.280 And maybe one of the reasons

00:28:04.140 she won, by the way.

00:28:04.980 Could well be.

00:28:06.160 And secondly,

00:28:07.280 she ran on a straight

00:28:09.140 Thatcher platform.

00:28:10.740 Even before she was invested

00:28:12.380 by the late queen

00:28:13.520 with the seals of office,

00:28:16.340 she rolled back

00:28:17.780 the anti-fracking rules.

00:28:18.980 Yeah, which shows...

00:28:20.300 One of Boris's few

00:28:21.280 real failings

00:28:22.280 in policy terms,

00:28:23.120 I think,

00:28:23.500 was he went full metal jacket

00:28:25.920 for the more draconian version

00:28:28.920 of the green terror.

00:28:30.060 And she's saying,

00:28:30.660 we're not having any of that.

00:28:31.720 That was hard to do.

00:28:34.100 Or it looked hard to do

00:28:35.820 because all the polite people,

00:28:37.820 the fancy people,

00:28:38.580 were against it.

00:28:39.200 But when you've got

00:28:40.040 the kind of energy prices

00:28:41.320 skyrocketing there,

00:28:42.340 she knew we're the real people.

00:28:43.500 Oh, yeah.

00:28:43.860 That was a test.

00:28:45.020 It's much worse there

00:28:46.060 than it is here.

00:28:46.760 Oh, by far.

00:28:47.420 You know,

00:28:47.600 in a way,

00:28:48.040 it reminded me

00:28:48.600 of that key moment

00:28:49.420 for Reagan

00:28:50.020 when he said

00:28:51.340 to the air traffic controllers

00:28:52.580 who went on a wildcat

00:28:53.740 illegal strike,

00:28:54.340 he said,

00:28:54.640 you go back to work

00:28:55.560 or I'm going to bring

00:28:56.640 in the military air traffic.

00:28:57.620 And they said,

00:28:59.080 oh, he's going to blink.

00:29:00.520 He didn't.

00:29:01.700 He sacked them all.

00:29:03.060 And then he said,

00:29:04.300 I didn't fire them.

00:29:05.120 They quit.

00:29:05.800 Yeah.

00:29:06.020 And that moment

00:29:08.280 was a test.

00:29:10.280 And even I understood later,

00:29:11.560 I think it was in

00:29:12.200 John O'Sullivan's book,

00:29:13.720 that that matter

00:29:15.300 was perceived

00:29:16.440 by the Soviets.

00:29:17.260 Oh, we have a different

00:29:17.960 man on our hands

00:29:18.760 than Jimmy Carter.

00:29:19.660 It wasn't just about

00:29:20.480 air traffic control.

00:29:21.400 It was,

00:29:22.060 does he mean what he says?

00:29:22.940 And when Liz Truss,

00:29:23.700 one of her very first things,

00:29:24.640 says,

00:29:25.060 I'm going to unban fracking,

00:29:26.560 which was like

00:29:27.160 an untouchable

00:29:28.260 third rail of environmentalism,

00:29:30.120 that says the woman 0.99

00:29:31.100 is not to be trifled with.

00:29:32.520 Oh, yeah.

00:29:32.980 Very interesting.

00:29:33.760 And she's capping

00:29:35.400 the gasoline bill,

00:29:37.940 the cost of tank,

00:29:39.720 of petrol,

00:29:40.300 as they call it.

00:29:41.200 And, you know,

00:29:41.920 that can be hazards.

00:29:43.780 You know,

00:29:44.000 you can end up

00:29:44.920 having the taxpayers

00:29:45.780 pay quite a bill for that.

00:29:47.820 But, I mean,

00:29:48.640 she's doing what needs

00:29:49.620 to be done, I think.

00:29:51.280 And, again,

00:29:52.680 you know,

00:29:53.600 I think we all wish

00:29:55.320 an incoming prime minister

00:29:56.460 in any country

00:29:57.140 best of luck.

00:29:58.940 Well, these are

00:29:59.700 interesting days.

00:30:00.660 Let me ask you.

00:30:01.680 I mean,

00:30:01.880 I don't want to pry,

00:30:03.000 but I know you,

00:30:04.120 because you spend

00:30:04.760 so much time

00:30:05.540 over there

00:30:06.140 and you operated

00:30:07.220 in high circles.

00:30:08.240 I'm still a member

00:30:08.820 of the parliament.

00:30:09.920 Are there any anecdotes

00:30:11.340 that you,

00:30:11.940 I mean,

00:30:12.140 you told us the one

00:30:12.900 about, you know,

00:30:13.740 she's seeing you

00:30:14.420 in your winter costume

00:30:16.140 in the summer

00:30:17.380 and the little banter.

00:30:19.340 She was the colonel

00:30:20.400 in shape.

00:30:20.860 She was a more 0.97

00:30:21.500 impressive looking

00:30:22.140 colonel than I was.

00:30:23.620 Do you have any other

00:30:24.300 reminiscences like that?

00:30:25.780 Because that's a great story.

00:30:26.700 Um, yeah,

00:30:29.060 I,

00:30:30.360 she said some,

00:30:31.820 she said some

00:30:33.780 very amusing things

00:30:35.360 if she was confident

00:30:37.300 of the discretion

00:30:38.660 of the people

00:30:39.360 she was talking to.

00:30:42.160 She,

00:30:43.160 but I,

00:30:44.980 some of them,

00:30:45.820 it would be,

00:30:46.660 I would be violating

00:30:47.880 the discretion she,

00:30:49.040 she respected me

00:30:50.120 if I said them.

00:30:50.860 but when General de Gaulle

00:30:56.000 made a state visit

00:30:56.880 to Britain in 1960,

00:30:58.200 they pulled out

00:30:59.060 all the stops for him.

00:31:00.300 The Queen met him.

00:31:02.900 And she spoke French.

00:31:04.000 Yes,

00:31:04.340 yes she did.

00:31:05.280 And,

00:31:05.440 and Aldous spoke French

00:31:06.820 to her French-Canadian

00:31:07.940 prime ministers here,

00:31:08.920 Mr. Saint Laurent,

00:31:09.820 Mr. Trudeau,

00:31:10.560 both Mr. Trudeaus,

00:31:12.260 and,

00:31:12.460 and Chrétien.

00:31:14.680 And,

00:31:14.940 and she,

00:31:15.600 she was chatting

00:31:19.420 with him

00:31:19.760 and the,

00:31:20.860 I can't,

00:31:23.900 it's hard to render this

00:31:25.020 as humorously

00:31:25.900 as she said it,

00:31:27.180 but there was a discussion

00:31:28.460 about whether he'd come

00:31:29.520 by cross-channel

00:31:31.780 on a ship

00:31:32.780 and then by train

00:31:33.660 or come by air

00:31:34.800 and he insisted

00:31:36.500 in coming by air

00:31:37.620 and anyway,

00:31:38.620 he,

00:31:39.020 she had a sort of

00:31:39.840 funny way of saying

00:31:40.840 to him,

00:31:41.660 you know,

00:31:43.460 Mon General,

00:31:44.200 we know,

00:31:45.040 of course,

00:31:46.160 of your immense

00:31:47.500 powers and capabilities,

00:31:48.920 but we didn't know

00:31:49.560 that you could control

00:31:50.320 the weather too,

00:31:51.160 you know,

00:31:52.080 because he,

00:31:52.560 they'd said

00:31:53.400 it could be stormy weather,

00:31:54.860 he said, 0.99

00:31:55.100 rubbish, 1.00

00:31:55.580 I'm taking the plane, 1.00

00:31:56.480 you know,

00:31:56.820 I mean,

00:31:57.040 to go over and be concerned

00:31:58.400 with turbulence in the air,

00:31:59.640 but,

00:31:59.980 but I'm not doing it justice,

00:32:01.280 the way she said it was

00:32:02.220 quite amusing

00:32:02.760 and he responded to it

00:32:04.360 in a way that showed that.

00:32:07.440 I,

00:32:07.880 I,

00:32:08.080 I could say a few other things,

00:32:11.340 but they,

00:32:11.660 they would offend people

00:32:12.580 who are alive.

00:32:13.300 Fair enough.

00:32:13.820 I won't,

00:32:14.260 I won't press you.

00:32:15.280 Well,

00:32:15.360 listen,

00:32:15.620 it's great to catch up with you

00:32:16.940 and it'll be interesting

00:32:18.700 to see

00:32:19.680 what changes there are.

00:32:22.040 If anything,

00:32:22.620 part of the

00:32:23.300 grand bargain

00:32:24.440 of a constitutional

00:32:25.520 monarchy

00:32:26.980 is that

00:32:29.060 the power is in reserve.

00:32:31.560 It's never,

00:32:32.740 you know,

00:32:32.880 it's,

00:32:33.180 it's,

00:32:33.680 that it,

00:32:34.840 like a mountain,

00:32:35.680 it's in the background

00:32:36.480 and you never need to call

00:32:38.020 on the mountain

00:32:38.580 if everything's fine

00:32:39.740 and in 96 years,

00:32:41.140 I guess it was fine enough.

00:32:43.680 Within the UK,

00:32:44.500 there were certainly problems

00:32:45.640 in what is now

00:32:46.680 the commonwealth.

00:32:47.960 But even in the UK,

00:32:49.500 there,

00:32:49.780 look,

00:32:50.000 there were,

00:32:50.580 there were some serious

00:32:51.700 problems at times,

00:32:52.760 but,

00:32:53.000 but,

00:32:53.280 but you can't avoid that.

00:32:55.160 Look,

00:32:55.300 I think some monarchs

00:32:56.660 get a long way

00:32:58.060 because of their style,

00:32:59.100 Edward VII,

00:32:59.840 for example.

00:33:00.780 And,

00:33:01.100 and I think Charles

00:33:02.040 may be in that category.

00:33:03.940 You know,

00:33:04.020 he dresses very well

00:33:05.140 and he's,

00:33:05.520 he's a,

00:33:06.460 and he's interested

00:33:07.920 in architecture

00:33:08.660 and design

00:33:09.360 in a way that I don't think

00:33:10.440 her mother was especially.

00:33:11.820 And,

00:33:12.300 and,

00:33:12.600 and he could build on that,

00:33:14.160 I think.

00:33:14.780 And,

00:33:15.060 and,

00:33:17.220 I,

00:33:18.260 he'll have a style

00:33:19.080 that'll be different,

00:33:19.880 but I think he'll be fine.

00:33:21.100 I,

00:33:21.280 I,

00:33:21.420 I don't mean that

00:33:22.380 in the condescending way.

00:33:23.320 I'm one of his subjects,

00:33:24.220 I think,

00:33:25.240 but I,

00:33:25.740 I have confidence

00:33:26.520 that he will do well.

00:33:27.680 All right.

00:33:28.040 Well,

00:33:28.180 from your mouth

00:33:28.660 to God's ear.

00:33:29.280 So you have it,

00:33:29.860 Conrad Black

00:33:30.540 talking about the

00:33:32.180 passing of the torch

00:33:33.480 from Queen Elizabeth

00:33:34.740 to King Charles.

00:33:36.540 Stay with us.

00:33:37.300 My final thoughts are next.

00:33:38.340 What a week.

00:33:46.260 You know,

00:33:46.500 of course,

00:33:46.800 we are subjects

00:33:47.700 of the Queen.

00:33:48.900 Sometimes we forget

00:33:49.760 that she was the Queen

00:33:50.660 of Canada.

00:33:51.460 If you've done it,

00:33:52.100 look at your passport,

00:33:53.060 your stamps,

00:33:54.360 your dollar bills,

00:33:56.060 or your dollar,

00:33:56.840 I guess we don't have

00:33:57.580 any dollar bills anymore.

00:33:59.380 It'll be a while

00:34:00.560 to get used to,

00:34:01.760 but the whole thing

00:34:03.520 about the monarchy

00:34:04.420 is its continuity,

00:34:06.320 its permanence.

00:34:07.280 So hopefully King Charles

00:34:09.560 will be a great king.

00:34:11.600 I mean,

00:34:12.360 we're counting on it.

00:34:13.860 It's a personification

00:34:15.560 of the promise

00:34:16.740 of our constitution.

00:34:18.860 That's it for today.

00:34:19.900 I hope you enjoyed

00:34:21.160 our week's coverage.

00:34:21.940 We're going to be in Ottawa

00:34:22.960 for the decision

00:34:24.220 in the Conservative Party

00:34:26.440 of Canada's leadership race.

00:34:28.000 We're going to be

00:34:28.280 very interesting.

00:34:28.900 We're going to have

00:34:29.200 live streams from there.

00:34:30.160 I'll be there

00:34:30.540 with a bit of a team.

00:34:32.760 And, you know,

00:34:34.060 the battle never stops.

00:34:35.240 Until next time,

00:34:36.040 on behalf of all of us

00:34:36.880 here at Rebel World

00:34:37.580 Headquarters,

00:34:38.040 to you at home,

00:34:38.600 good night.

00:34:39.920 And keep fighting

00:34:40.500 for freedom.

00:34:45.200 Buckingham Palace

00:34:46.040 has announced the death

00:34:47.460 of Her Majesty

00:34:48.780 Queen Elizabeth II.

00:34:50.940 After the news broke

00:34:52.160 about Queen Elizabeth II's

00:34:54.300 death at age 96,

00:34:57.440 one of the questions

00:34:59.100 that keeps coming up

00:35:00.540 is what now happens

00:35:02.920 now that the Queen

00:35:04.620 is dead?

00:35:06.560 This video is intended

00:35:07.900 for people who

00:35:08.960 don't know the protocol

00:35:10.440 or Operation London Bridge

00:35:13.620 as it's called,

00:35:14.920 also referred to as D-Day

00:35:17.160 after the Queen's passing

00:35:19.020 and what happens next.

00:35:22.740 So, to begin,

00:35:23.760 what is Operation

00:35:25.300 London Bridge?

00:35:27.380 Well, this is a code phrase

00:35:29.160 known as

00:35:30.600 London Bridge is down.

00:35:32.340 And this is used to when

00:35:33.820 the Queen,

00:35:35.320 Elizabeth II,

00:35:37.020 dies.

00:35:38.360 It is a complete

00:35:39.520 periodic plan

00:35:41.540 that details

00:35:42.640 her state funeral.

00:35:44.020 funeral.

00:35:45.140 And this plan

00:35:45.780 was actually made

00:35:46.800 as early

00:35:47.560 as the 1960s

00:35:49.540 and has had changes

00:35:51.000 and various updates

00:35:53.400 throughout the decades.

00:35:57.160 As the Queen passed

00:35:58.920 on the 8th of September

00:36:00.200 2022,

00:36:02.100 D-Day,

00:36:02.740 as it's called,

00:36:03.880 begins on the 9th

00:36:05.240 of September,

00:36:07.020 where Charles

00:36:08.900 and Camilla

00:36:09.720 will return

00:36:11.580 from Balmora Castle

00:36:13.260 to London,

00:36:15.180 where the King

00:36:16.240 will make

00:36:16.800 a televised

00:36:18.160 address

00:36:19.000 to the nation

00:36:20.320 and pay tribute

00:36:21.920 to the Queen.

00:36:28.300 And this ceremony

00:36:29.580 will last 10 days.

00:36:31.560 After the first day

00:36:32.880 of D-Day,

00:36:34.200 the coming days after

00:36:35.440 will be referred

00:36:36.580 as Plus.

00:36:38.080 the number of days

00:36:39.700 that have passed

00:36:40.700 since her death.

00:36:42.240 On the first day,

00:36:43.380 there will be a meeting

00:36:44.160 of the Accession Council

00:36:46.200 at 10 o'clock

00:36:47.620 in the morning.

00:36:48.400 This will include

00:36:49.300 senior government figures

00:36:50.840 and members

00:36:52.140 of the Privy Council

00:36:53.880 as Charles

00:36:54.860 will be proclaimed

00:36:56.040 or crowned

00:36:57.260 King.

00:36:58.020 Normal parliamentary

00:36:59.160 business

00:37:00.200 will suspend

00:37:01.660 and members

00:37:02.720 of Parliament

00:37:03.200 will meet

00:37:05.160 and give tributes

00:37:06.660 in the House

00:37:08.200 of Commons.

00:37:12.140 On day two

00:37:13.380 of D-Day,

00:37:14.500 the Queen's

00:37:15.240 coffin

00:37:15.900 will be brought

00:37:16.920 to Buckingham Palace.

00:37:19.500 Now,

00:37:19.720 the Queen died

00:37:20.520 in Balmoral Castle,

00:37:22.580 which is up

00:37:23.140 in Scotland.

00:37:24.580 So,

00:37:25.200 her body

00:37:25.900 will be taken

00:37:26.660 to London

00:37:28.060 by train.

00:37:29.920 And if this

00:37:30.500 isn't possible,

00:37:31.280 the coffin

00:37:32.360 will travel

00:37:33.400 by plane.

00:37:40.680 On day three,

00:37:42.540 the new

00:37:42.980 King Charles

00:37:44.060 will start

00:37:45.420 a tour

00:37:46.140 of the UK

00:37:46.840 and his first stop

00:37:49.080 will be up

00:37:50.520 in Scotland

00:37:51.360 to visit

00:37:53.060 the Scottish

00:37:54.300 Parliament

00:37:54.720 and attend

00:37:56.020 services

00:37:56.980 there

00:37:57.880 and in Edinburgh.

00:37:58.940 Next

00:38:02.740 will be

00:38:03.040 Northern Ireland

00:38:03.740 and whilst

00:38:04.420 Charles

00:38:04.920 is starting

00:38:05.960 his tour,

00:38:07.040 rehearsals

00:38:07.760 will commence

00:38:09.200 for the

00:38:10.200 procession

00:38:11.000 of the

00:38:27.420 will lie
