The Reign Begins: Charles & Camilla

CNN Anchor and National Correspondent Erica Hill previews the coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort. Featuring interviews with the foremost experts on the Royal Family and many close to the Windsors, Hill examines the past, present, and future of these new sovereigns. 

Hill travels to England to assemble a group of British scholars and journalists, including Kehinde Andrews, Helen Carr, Sarah Hewson, Robert Lacey, Bidisha Mamata, Jack Royston, Camilla Tominey, and Kate Williams, to debate what the monarchy means in 2023, what its new king and queen stand for, and whether this royal institution may be in jeopardy.

Former staffers to the royal family, including Press Secretaries to Queen Elizabeth Ailsa Anderson and Charles Anson and Communications Secretary to then Prince Charles Kristina Kyriacou, examine the legacy of King Charles III, from his rebellious youth to his tumultuous first marriage to Princess Diana, and how his defiant nature is reflected in his son, Prince Harry. Together, they consider Camilla's complicated path to the throne and her rising level of influence. And they question whether a new generation of British citizenry will continue to support the pomp and pageantry of the crown.
