The changes and challenges ahead for King Charles III

The changeover from one monarch to the next is a moment seeped in history and tradition. Not only for the UK, but the entire commonwealth of nations.  

After years of planning, the change from Queen Elizabeth II to King Charles III is both an immediate one and the start of potentially months-long processes.

Today, New Zealand historian Jock Phillips joins Damien from London for a discussion about the widespread impact from the death of Queen Elizabeth.
