If you want to help the poor, help the poor. Go visit a Food Pantry with a tv camera. Be kind and genuinely interested. Notice the quality of staffing, food, and service. Shake hands and accept hugs and flowers and children’s artwork. Later in the day make personal phone calls to the director, the board, and to the mayor. Be gracious and tell them to contact your office if you can do anything more to support their cause. Then call the big box market that was reported to be dumping hundreds of pounds of food past the “sell by” date. Give the store manager contact info for the food pantry and the Mayor, just in case a local church or school wants to collect the food and get it to the Food Pantry. Now imagine doing that 4 times in one day. You are making sure your assistants are taking notes so they can make those calls of your behalf. Finally, sit down at your desk and hand write personal thank you notes to the organizations you visited that day. Finally get a ride home from a Palace employee heading your way. Take off the clothes you wore to work, put on your jammies, set your alarm and drop into bed after forgetting to brush your teeth because you are just too tired.

It's not his coronation: it's our coronation of him. A coronation is a legal requirement demanded by Parliament in the Act of Settlement 1701 during which the monarch must take the coronation oath. If our representatives in Parliament demand a coronation by law, the country should pay for it.

As long as the working class are ruled deprivation will be our lot. We are ruled, not by kings, but by those who possess the land, mines, factories, machinery, railways, and other means of production and distribution, and just because they possess those things. Since we are denied access to those things all the doors of life are shut against us except that of the labour market. We must become wage slaves - must sell our energies to those who own the productive forces. This means that goods are produced for profit, and that profit, that wealth we produce but which is legally taken away from us. The remedy for all this is to take these means of production and distribution away from their present owners and make them the property of the whole community. Bread will then be produced to feed people, not for profit, and clothes to clothe them, and houses to shelter them. All able-bodied adults will take part in the necessary social labour, and all will partake freely of the wealth produced.

All traditions and rituals are invented by people. They serve the same purpose as myth in providing a common framework so that people can identify as a community or culture. Remove that cultural framework and you leave a vacuum into which flows invasive forces seeking control of resources and political power. Liturgical arts change with the times, like all other arts, so styles of worship services can look very different from era to era. People always freak out about change to tradition because people take on their culture as part of their own identity. Rejection of traditions feels like a rejection of oneself.

No you don’t, in Spanish enthronement ceremonies the crown is never placed on the Kings head. The last time that happened was hundreds of years ago. “No monarch of Spain has been crowned as such since Isabella I of Castile[50] (1474), Ferdinand I of Aragon (1414), and Catherine of Navarre with her husband John III of Navarre (1494). Joan III of Navarre was crowned as late as 1555, although she ruled Navarre beyond the Pyrenees. Instead, the new monarch appears at the Cortes, where he or she takes a formal oath to uphold the Constitution.[51] Although the crown is evident at the ceremony, it is never actually placed on the monarch's head” (from Wikipedia) The Dutch have never physically crowned a single one of their monarchs, they have only partaken in accession ceremonies and oath-taking. “The Netherlands have never physically crowned its monarchs. The Dutch monarch, however, undergoes a ‘swearing-in and investiture’ ceremony” (from Wikipedia) Link to more info here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronations_in_Europe

In the UK, the very specific St Edward's Crown is placed on the monarchs head. It is only used to Crown the monarch.

​@@AlunParsonsIt is legitimate to refer to England seperately from Great Britain, the UK, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. The roots of this coronation service are particular to England, going back as far as St Dunstan. Scotland had it's own distinct coronation tradition. Before 1707, the monarchs of the respective countries went through different styles of ceremony, and when it became the same monarch with James VI and his progeny, they underwent seperate coronation in each country. After 1707, the service was one service in which the monarch was crowned and made Supreme Governor of the Church of England and the coronation takes place as a Anglican service, but it has to incorporate other tradition and acknowledgement and changes after 1707, including promising not to interfere with the Church of Scotland. At this point the service evolves in the English/Church of England tradition to reflect the union with Scotland. However, it is right to observe that it comes from a form of ritual and religion that is English in origin...hard to avoid that when unlike Scotland, the monarch is the Supreme Governor of the church/state religion. It's also why the prebytarian Church of Scotland gets the monarch to swear to protect its independence. So, it's not an inaccurate English toff, it's a historian who knows what he is talking about and is being accurate when discussing a service that predates the union by centuries, predates the creation of the Church of England and the Church of Scotland, and has endured and adapted through significant political, social and religious change over 1000 years.

Broken Britain

What does it all mean; the Crown, and the Orb, and the Sceptre and the Sword of State, and the Cap of Maintenance, and the rest of the jewelled symbols? What does it mean: the swelling Anthem, the mumbled prayer, the intoned exhortation, the anointing with oil, the Crowning and Enthronisation? What does it mean: the barbaric pomp and splendour, the lavish display of wealth, the clank of arms and armour and the jingle of spurs, the foregathering from the ends of the earth of the Empire’s rulers? What does it mean: the flaunting flags, the streets lined with police and military, the hoarse acclamation of millions? As unknowing children, we are told by our traitorous and deceitful teachers that these gaudy jewels, this “impressive service”, are full of some magical symbolism and historic significance. They are indeed. To the worker who will think it is very obvious that the Crown and the Sceptre and the rest are the symbols of ruling power. But who it is that rules, and who it is that are ruled, are matters less generally understood and definitely never explained to us by these duplicitous teachers and alleged educationalists whose actual task is to mystify, confuse and stupefy the young minds of the future wage slaves. In other words, to accomplish the precise opposite of their alleged intention to enlighten these impressionable young minds. It is commonly believed that “royal” power is the attribute of the monarch of a constitutional country, but nothing could be farther from the truth. That question our capitalist masters in this country fought out many years ago. They have left the King his name and his robes, his Crown and his palaces, but they have stripped him of every vestige of power. The “Crown” is not the King, in any capacity, but the capitalist State. The King’s Speech to Parliament is written by his Ministers, even the prerogative of mercy is not the King’s, but belongs to the capitalist Cabinet. The aim of the master class is to keep worker ignorant, for an ignorant subject class, not knowing how to act in their own interests, can be more easily and inexpensively kept in subjection than an educated one. In fostering this ignorance, the first thing to be done is to preserve the inertia of the mind - the tendency of the mind to run in an unchanging direction. The capitalist class is fully aware that it is a changing environment that causes the alteration in the mental outlook of the people. Their great endeavour, therefore, is to oppose the continual evolution in the world about them, over which they have no control, counteracting conditions and influences. Hence they cling with the tenacity of desperation, to the empty husks and decaying forms of the past. This can be seen in every dominant interest, since every interest, when it has become dominant, becomes conservative and reactionary. It explains why the Catholic Church clings so frantically to its out-of-date forms, why the Anglican and other Churches set their faces so relentlessly against innovation, and why capitalist countries would rather convert their monarchies to their own ends than abolish them.

​@@cdean2789Hundreds of protestors protested noisily but peacefully and were left alone to do so, waving their placards and banners. There were some arrests based on intelligence and the few who behaved in such a way as to warrant it. It should be understood that public safety is important where there is a crowd, where there are hundreds of horses, that we live in an age of aggressive protest and terrorism. There is also the matter of security for hundreds of international political and non political heads of state and state representatives. The police have to strike a balance between legitimate security concerns, public safety, the right to free speech and the right to peaceful demonstration...not an easy feat. There will be investigations on whether the action was the right call based on the evidence. It has been well publicised. The demonstrators overall were able to make their protest without the police shutting it down, so there was no major plot to remove all protestors or silence the Republican movement.

I'm trying to understand the difference between tradition and invented tradition. Surely all tradition is invented tradition, making the use of "invented" incredibly redundant. Yet, it's used several times throughout this video. And so if we understand that the use of "Invented tradition" is redundant, we have to consider why it would be used at all, because whilst I'm certainly not for a monarchy, if I were to make the most subtle of attempts to turn people against it, using phrases like "invented tradition" would be a way I might go.

All this runs contrary to anything that defines modern life. As knowledge in general culture, not being a historian , we al know that the history of the British royal families, and their ascend to power was in many cases bloodthirsty .They had not a doubt , when it came to murder brothers cousins and so on to say the least. What I cannot understand is how can Scot’s support this British monarchy , or Irish , for the matter .They have been brutally repressed , their population used for slavery .As an small example , King James I in 1612, gave permission to collect and sell the captive Irish soldiers as slaves, thats only the pick of the iceberg.This story of Britain and their monarchs would be too long. Least to say the few countries left in the commonwealth. During the reign of Elisabeth I , 17 countries resign .The colonies where , luckily ,dismantling, leaving a brutal trail of suffering robbery and abuse on the population.Yes it’s history. But , to support this new king? this same monarchy , whose wealth is obscene and still preserves feudal privileges over the land they own. In a democracy of the XXIst C . King Charles will be the Head of State for 14 countries,Why ? He is certainly not his mother. She was born in a different time and age. Nowadays they are extravagant and entitled , with the country in a profound economical crisis, and citizens having to pay for the show, wether you like it or not. Also , people forget the oath of allegiance in this act ,to all subjects, is compulsory .That means you are complying to the monarch and head of the Church of England .This latter, thus not accepting other religions , In spite of the sheer make up of the scene , inviting other religious leaders in the ceremony .Do not forget the king , will be promising to defend the former Protestant religion, because he is “ the head and protector “ of the Church of England

But... why do you say that Charless is the first post-imperial coronation? The Balfour Declaration practically created the Commonwealth way before Elizabeth's coronation.

The idea that Brexit was an attempt to form a new British identity is absolutely ridiculous. Brexit was an English nationalist cause, and definitely not a British one. With Scotland and Northern Ireland voting overwhelmingly against and Welsh born people in Wales also voting majority against (though English voters in Wales tipped the balance), Brexit cannot remotely be described as a British ideology. Another example of someone from the English elite conflating Britain with England. Obnoxious stuff. Just proves you only need to be posh for people to assume you know what you are talking about.

Don’t care, never cared, will never care. Next.

Good to hear that in the U.K.,country of unaffordable houses,inflation,cost of living crisis,inequality ….that the peasant are having to give Charles a 45% pay increase in 2025,raising the Sovereign Grant from £86.3m to £125 m a year. All that for a family from Germany,called Saxe-Cobourg-Gothe, who changed it to Windsor.

Excellent! The interviewer is asking all the rite questions an the historian is answering them all with aplomb.

The royal family were supposed to be justified by being different and better than ordinary people now that they make it clear they are ordinary why should we look up to them

No we don't want or need them...

#notMyKing I believe the same money should have been used towards pay rises or food banks. The people are suffering because of inflation and some monarchs who’ve colonised, has blood on their hands are enjoying the moment

Only three in 10 Britons think the monarchy is “very important”, the lowest proportion on record, a poll shows as the king’s coronation approaches.

The King and his family should be politely but firmly removed from their houses, and put out onto the street. All moneys and lands they currently own should be confiscated for the British people. They can then discover what it is like to live in a council house and live on benefits. #NotMyKing

Sadly, when the British monarchy gets abolished, the British Empire will ultimately die. The British Empire is barely hanging onto his health after the World Wars and decolonization and given the fact that Queen Elizabeth II didn't do anything to save the British Empire. The British monarchy is the only source that keeps the British Empire from dying. After the monarchy gets abolished, Scotland will instantly gain its independence, and quite possibly Wales. Northern Ireland will be united with Ireland. Furthermore, each of the British Overseas Territories will claim their independences one by one or become terra nullis depending on indigenous population, and the Commonwealth Realms will become republics. After that, the new Republic of England will barely have any power compared to other countries, will lose quite a bit of population, and it can spark a wave of communism in Europe, as the UK is one of the key countries that support capitalism, along with Germany, France, Italy, and other strong EU states. With such a great reduction of power, England would no longer keep its legacy of not being invaded for long, as eventually, it could collapse into smaller states with even less power. The saddest part is that the British Empire would never get a chance to unite with Brittany, so Great Britain would never have a chance to unite with Little Britain before its death by monarchy abolition.

None of us really know what it must be like for anyone to live in the public eye, including members of the Royal Family. Further, despite the constant artuculation of their immnse privialage and wealth, it certainly can't all be like that and must also have many negaticve aspects. Charles has by no means had a easy life. I always thought that the way in which the Monarchy in Britain is both perc6ived, welcomed and wanted, both in the UK and the Commonwealth, would change uppn the death of Elizabeth. Further, the insitution may not continue in its current structhure and may need drastically slimming down if it is to survive at all. Personnaly, I fail to see how a Constituaional Monarchy, where one human being has been chosen by 'god' to reign over a popluation remains relevant today. That phiñosphy is not the same. Religious beliefe is not the same. The UK is not the same. The Commenwealth is not the same. Whilst the Monarch may well hold the nation together far better than an elected head of state ever could that comes with political neautraility, it is diffcult to see for just how much longer the British Monarchy can continue in its present form for much longer.
