It’s not often a 74-year-old takes on a new job, let alone one they’ll keep for the rest of their life, but such is the lot of King Charles III. This weekend the monarch will be crowned and will officially begin the near impossible task of filling his mother’s shoes. Polling has shown that not only was Queen Elizabeth II immensely more popular than Charles, so too are his son, Prince William, his sister Anne, Princess Royal, and even his grandchildren.

And it’s not only in the United Kingdom where the new King needs to win people over. In Australia, the R word, republic, is once again being muttered. But on 60 MINUTES, close confidantes of His Majesty and Queen Camilla tell reporter Tom Steinfort why the monarchy is in the best hands.
