Brits urged to swear oath to their king for first time​

The Archbishop of Canterbury will call for a “chorus of millions” to recite a pledge of fealty to the UK monarchy

Next week’s coronation of King Charles III will feature an invitation for all British people to swear their allegiance to the new monarch and his descendants in what organizers have billed as a “chorus of millions.”
The ceremony has been revised to include a “homage of the people,” rather than the traditional “homage of peers” in which dukes pledge their allegiance to the sovereign, according to plans announced on Saturday by the Church of England.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will call upon “all persons of goodwill” in the UK and its territories – those attending the ceremony at Westminster Abbey and those watching on television or the internet – to recite the following vows: “I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty and to your heirs and successors according to the law, so help me God.” The archbishop will then proclaim, “God save the king” and ask all to respond: “God save King Charles. Long live King Charles. May the king live forever.”

The public pledge is among several tweaks to a ceremony with ancient traditions, some of which date back nearly half a millennium. “Our hope is at that point, when the archbishop invites people to join in, that people wherever they are, if they’re watching at home on their own, watching the telly, will say it out loud – this sense of a great cry around the nation and around the world of support for the king,” a Lambeth Palace spokesperson said.
Among other changes to the traditional ceremony, the coronation will feature female clergy taking a prominent role and leaders of other faiths presenting the king with regalia for the events, including his robe, ring and bracelets. A hymn will be sung in Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. The service will celebrate tradition while adding “new elements that reflect the diversity of our contemporary society,” the archbishop said.
However, King Charles III will take the traditional oaths, including a pledge to maintain “the Protestant Reformed religion.” The archbishop will preface the oath by saying that the Church of England will seek to foster an environment where “people of all faiths and beliefs may live freely.”

Hahaha, Bongistan is done.

Funny how this isn't banned nor they will get any punishment.

 

[SphinxItOver]

Good article. I am insanely curious to see how the swearing in goes with word choices as a follow up to the 1969 Investiture ceremony "..and of earthly worship."

Charles isn't in any real control, like the politicians, most of them are just figureheads.

Ah, that reminds me I should make that post in the conspiracy theory thread about Charles as the antichrist and the pope as the false prophet. Good 'ol Rothschild and Schwab can make economic issues go away. There's video of him out there complaining about WW2 being over and missing out on going after the Russians. Good think that Ukranine war is going on.

I wonder if Charles has been declared Mahdi yet.

This really proves what an utter dunce Charles is. Literally the ONLY redeeming feature of the monarchy is its traditional aspect. Those who respect such traditions are the only people who will ardently defend it - those who see it as nostalgic, unifying, and symbolic of Britain without political baggage attached. And this dude is going to start his reign by kicking those people in the teeth and trying to 'revamp' an ancient ceremony into whatever pale, vapid imitation he sees as an 'improvement', injecting his personal shitlib politics, and then asking for an oath of loyalty to add insult to injury.

He reminds me of the brief Mexican monarch Maximilian. Basically, he was not right enough for the monarchists who he depended on. Obviously it’s not going to end the same way but he’s going to hurt the monarchy with his stupidity.

Why should it be banned? Having laws against making fun of unelected heads of state seems like kind of a dumb long-term move.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

How about just a swear?

 

[BaskingBarracuda]

Funny how this isn't banned nor they will get any punishment.

I wouldn’t want that to happen. This is far from the worst thing they’ve done and it’d just give them an even bigger victim complex. Plus it’d set a precedent to ban Rangers’ offensive songs as well and I’d rather live in a world where you can sing Billy Boys and The Famine Song at them.

It's important that the head of state and the head of government be separate powers, lest you develop cults of personality that descend into despotism.

Constitutional monarchies remain the most stable forms of government in the world, with some of the lowest levels of corruption and the highest levels of freedom, so obviously they've survived for good reason - getting rid of the Kaiser lead to Hitler, getting rid of the Tsar lead to Stalin, and ousting the Shah lead to Khomeini.

Nations are more than bureaucrats and interchangeable politicians, people need leaders which embody their culture, principles, values, and traditions, who provide stability and act as a lightning rod for all of the ceremonial roles required for diplomacy and governing (the head of your government should not be pardoning turkeys, handing out medals, attending charity events, and cutting ribbons).

Amen to that, brother. My country abolished the monarchy after WWII and it's been a declining, decrepit cesspit since then.

 

[Slideshow Bill]

The second Lizzie croaked, they should have abolished the monarchy. The rest of them have abysmal PR and only live through the connections of other aristocracy and have no commanding power of their own.

Let's also add to the list the French revolution of 1789 who lead to Napoleon. The did some restaurations between Napoleon and Napoleon III and looks the current Fifth Republic is in shambles....

I thought they were just the UK's state-funded equivalent of the Kardashians for UK gossip magazines.

That's a pretty recent development, from the last two generations; before then, the media in the United Kingdom was overwhelmingly owned and operated by aristocrats, who weren't about to do something as crass and treasonous as besmirch the monarchy (and thereby destroy their social prospects).

They're not really all that publicly funded, the royals have more than enough of their own money, the Sovereign Grant they receive each year (about $100 million USD) almost entirely goes to preserving historic buildings like Buckingham Palace, and the staff that populate them, which generate far more in tourist dollars than they cost.

To put that in perspective, Canada gives the CBC over a billion CAD per year, over $700 million USD, to run our state funded propaganda machine.

And while the Kardashians do nothing but profit themselves, the royals spend their time doing charity work, exercising soft power, maintaining vital constitutional duties, and other social services.

This is quite disturbing. This is what happens before they cull the dissenters.

The money given to the Royal family is part of a historical deal in which the country gets the management and income of a lot of what is legally / originally their property. Technically speaking if the State reneged on their stipend or whatever it is called, then a tonne of parks, properties and estates would suddenly revert to being direct property of the Royal Family. I forget how much it's been ages - but it was a whopper.

I believe that is also true for the commonwealth nations as well. What burgers call "public land" we call "crown land" ie. it technically belongs to the monarch.
I haven't looked it up for a long time, but I believe that there's more "crown land" in Australia than there is land in all of the UK.

Using their soft power the push forward the great reset. Good.

Tempting bait, sir, and I shall bite it. Cromwell (Oliver, not Thomas) was mainly the bad guy. Drogheda, Wexford, were unforgivable even for military campaigns at the time. He is loathed in Ireland. He oversaw a succession of useless parliaments, and devolved into a complete dictator. Whatever he started as, he ended as all who take complete power do, a tyrant.
I’m looking forward to restoration 2.0, in these times of weirdly degenerate Puritanism

Yes, but Australia is mostly useless with a few liveable bits around the edges. Britain is pretty much all useful viable land plus Birmingham.

they own 55% of the british shoreline( including the seabed out to the 12 mile international border), all the unmined silver/gold in the UK, 287,000 acres of farmland, 15567 acres around the Windsor estate, all of regent street and most of st.james and a lot of retail space in general around the country.

and technically the crown owns the entirety of Canada.

He’s the Calvinist Supreme Ayatollah and good or bad either way it’s based.

I am not a Bongo but I will swear an Oath to Charles.

I hereby swear to give you the finger if I ever see you, because fuck you, fuck your crown and fuck the fact that I have to hear about you at all. Keep Britfag news in Britain.
