I’m really interested — will you be swearing allegiance to the King? There is no judgement here, but would love your vote in my poll and maybe reply with why or why not?

@wihtlore As a member of another constitutional Monarchy...

WTF are you guys doing?

Britain TRULY is stuck in the late Vicky era, isn't it? Like spiritually it's still 1888 or something?

I find the idea that I would "Swear allegiance" to the figurehead head of state that cosplay "someone important" on TV sometimes LAUGHABLE.

@WhyNotZoidberg @wihtlore Other countries have equally bonkers rituals, like swearing allegiance to a flag.

@TimWardCam @wihtlore Oh of course, but at least the Americans swear to the COUNTRY, not a King.
