Date Posted：2023-04-28 02:41:41Copy HTML With the coronation coming up it's only right that we should have a page devoted to HM King Charles III. Although the coronation is billed as a slimmed down affair I trust it will be a grand enough spectacle. It's what most of us want, ignore the mean-spirited anti-Monarchists and those whining about cost. As someone in The Daily Telegraph said last week, we want snaggle-toothed Lords in full ermine! Judging by the list of ancient traditions being observed we'll see individuals carrying St Edward's Staff, the sceptre with dove (eh?), the Sword of Offering, the Sword of Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sword of Mercy and the spurs (eh? again) among other arcane things. Lovely stuff, bring it on! With King Charles' desire for inclusivity and diversity (yawn) we'll see a disproportionately large number of ethnics involved in the ceremony, but that's the world we live in now. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：King Charles III Date Posted：2023-08-16 08:55:20Copy HTML That comment was blown out of all proportion by Oprah's exaggerated response. I'm sure the news of a baby in a mixed race family has caused people to speculate on his/her skin colour, quite normal in fact. Meghan could have been a wonderful addition to the Windsors, but she had no intention of staying here, that's clear now. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re：King Charles III Date Posted：2024-05-06 12:05:49Copy HTML The Coronation took place a year ago today. The weather is rather better now than it was then. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.
