I was discussing this today. It annoys me that it’s deemed necessary for the Queen/King to be silent about anything that matters. It gives them plenty of excuse to not call out bad shit as much as it stops them supporting important things. Also with them having such power over matters that have huge effects and the ability to block them, surely it’s even more important to have transparency in their beliefs and views so if we start to realise ‘hold up that’s a bit sketchy Liz/Charlie’ we can at least hope to call them out and think maybe we shouldn’t let them have such control.
Edit to add: I swear the only reason so many people have gone from ‘Charles will be shite’ to ‘After seeing that speech I believe Charles will be an amazing King’ is that they’ve realised he’ll stop talking about and supporting all of the things they disagreed with him about and he’ll instead just be another silent power who has carried on this useless procession of lineage that they all cherish so much.
