	Description:		King Charles III has addressed the United Kingdom as it mourns the loss of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Before the address, he met with the British prime minister and the public today, shaking hands and even being kissed on the cheek by one woman. It is the first full day of his reign and a new era for Great Britain. Church bells rang out across a nation in mourning and gun salutes were fired to honor the Queen’s 96 years. Across the world, national monuments have been lit up in tribute to Queen Elizabeth and newspapers have dedicated their front pages to mark her passing. Joining the show today are the Queen's former Communications Director Simon Lewis; former British PM Tony Blair; former US Secretary of State John Kerry; US presidential historian and biographer Jon Meacham.
