Charles was crowned today with the usual pomp and pageantry the UK has made a brand for itself.
Jefferson A Smith, the author of Strange Places, famously questioned, “How do you explain plastic to a medieval forest bard?”The short answer is that you can’t. Try explaining a guy calling himself King to a society that has only heard of such figures in movies and history books. The short answer is that you can’t.
Britain is going through an identity crisis as a result of Brexit, on the one hand, and a King frantically attempting to remain relevant in the twenty-first century, on the other.
Britain is clinging to its former glory, and in the current economic climate, their MPs implicitly back the Royals because they know it brings precious tourist revenue, which Britain cannot afford to lose. So they hold their noses and do what they are renowned for: hypocrisy, and vow devotion to this unfortunate King.
Of course, Charles has dirty hands. What may be comparable to his ancestor’s betrayal, if not the manner but surely the purpose, is how he publicly treated his first wife and mother to his kids by openly keeping a harlot in the marriage. So here we are, 70 years later, with King Charles 111.
Both Britain and the Royals are fighting for relevance, as the Politicians have divorced themselves from their European family and have decided to go it alone, while Charles is desperately trying to please the masses by using his looted jewels and horse-drawn carriages to deflect all naysayers to his moment in glory, which he has spent a lifetime preparing for. Both have blood on their hands and are a modern-day anachronism that seems to be standing as the British people appear to have lost their hunger for a revolution, one that the French and Russians have so heroically shown how to achieve.
