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 I find the very idea of him being a defender of his people to be laughable. Well unless you consider the extremely rich privileged people who went to public school, MPs and fellow billionaires to be his people.
I certainly don't give my allegiance to a man at the top of a system that allows austerity. Or to a man that want us to pay for his fancy hat ceremony during a cost of living crisis and children starving.
I also want Independence for Scotland.
@wihtlore I'm sure they thought of it as a "let's bring everyone together, like the jubilee", thing.
Like the quiche, like the volunteering scheme, it's rather tone deaf when so many people are at the raggedy edge.
The insulation between him and his subjects must be very thick.
@wihtlore
There's also a huge part of me that objects to the very idea of using special titles to speak to him.
I'll call people by their titles like Doctors, or even minister. But the idea of Royal protocol just Angers me.
It enforces the idea of classism and is designed to renforce the idea of the status quo. Him being king will change nothing.
@wihtlore the funny thing is there's a sizable amount of the population that are from the same "ancient lineage" that they go on about. Just the mum wasn't posh enough to merit being an illustrious Fitz.
Which I also think is what alot of our snobbery in Britain is about. That distant link to percieved greatness. Which is utter bollocks.
