This is CBS, I On the World. I'm John Batchel with Gregory Copley, my colleague and friend,

0:10.2

and we're talking about King Charles III and celebrating his regency. Gregory's new book is

0:16.9

Noble State, but at the same time, there is now a paradox. I read from the Financial

0:22.6

Times in these last hours. In the end, Canada's election was as much about a man in the White
