All Britons will be called on to swear allegiance to King Charles III at his coronation, an oath hitherto reserved for British nobility, in a move that has upset anti-royalists.
The office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who will lead the coronation ceremony on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, announced on Saturday that the traditional "Homage of Peers" -- during which representatives of the nobility kneel before the king and pledge allegiance to him -- would be scrapped.
Instead, the ceremony will include a "Homage of the People", with the archbishop calling on all people in the United Kingdom and other places where King Charles is the head of state to swear allegiance.
The archbishop will call on "all persons of goodwill in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other realms and the territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted king, defender of all".

“I didn’t vote for you.”
Quite a bit of tone deafness in this edict…
How about if they just swear at him?
He’s a friggin’ idiot
But you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ‘cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
“I mean, if I went ‘round saying
I was an emperor just because some
moistened bint had lobbed a
scimitar at me, they’d put me away!”
I’d kneel for no man, only The Lord.

Doh! Of course you need to swear allegiance... The UK is a monarchist country. All of the citizens of commonwealth countries will also swear allegiance. The King is the head of state and a King, or Queen or Lord Protector such as Cromwell has been head of state for over 1000 years... That’s what makes the British monarchy unique. It’s longevity.
Some people like it, some hate it... But a majority of the UK supports the monarchy... If you don’t, feel free to leave it and go elsewhere.
Britain is a going to have a huge problem when their millions of Hindus and Muslims start going after each other.
I swear allegiance to Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who is coming soon to judge all kings (the quick and the dead), and all men.
“Below we see Charlie with two of his UK subjects. Will they swear homage to the king?
They might, under the Muslim concept of taqiyya (acceptable lying).”
The real question is....will Charlie be dumb enough to believe the acceptable lying that his two Muslim subjects will offer him. I think we already know the answer to that question.
Yeah I’ll get right on that. What a weenie.
