The segment begins by welcoming viewers and introducing the reporter, Tom Steinfit, who is in London to cover the event. It then delves into the significance of Charles's coronation, noting that he is the oldest monarch to be crowned and that he is taking on the role at a time when many people believe he is better suited to be a king than his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was.
The report highlights the public's reaction to the coronation, noting that while many people turned out to celebrate the new king, others protested against the monarchy. The segment also discusses the political climate in Australia, where the Republican movement is gaining momentum and there is a push to replace the monarchy with a presidential system.
