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：2026-06-09 05:30:01Copy HTML Canadians are stuck with Charles as their sovereign with 60% of Canucks not wanting him as king. John Fraser in the Globe & Mail wrote, Charles is not a bad person for the job. He's shown himself to have a strong conscience & is clearly personally moved by the crimes of his forebears, especially in the slave trade. We can expect him to be the monarch who leads Britain on its long overdue journey of reconciliation. He could also add that they bare some responsibility for nobends like him |
