When considering the British monarchy through most of its history, it was held by hard charging nationalists who rightly and wrongly put England above all. They protected it, unashamedly expanded it, enriched themselves and their country and as an intended or unintended byproduct permanently defined much of the world’s values and culture. Their efforts also resulted in English being the universal language of science, commerce and diplomacy.

Yet today the British monarchy has declined to reflect what has become of Britain itself. The current King Charles is a passive man who is reduced to whining about the weather. He would never be confused with a bulldog leader.He remains silent as his country commits cultural suicide and devolves into a quaint stop on the tourist trail.

The monarchy now serves at the pleasure of the UK’s Deep State.

Q for the Windsors: How’s that working out for you lot, eh?

You apparently do not know that Parliament governs the country and that the king is just a figurehead. Since the end of WWII (and the end of the British empire), the monarchy has been little more than a tourist draw. The king (and his mother before him) is expected to stay out of politics.
