News of the death of Queen Elizabeth the second was unarguably the biggest news that rocks September. Well, that had to be, because why not?
1. She is the longest serving monarch
2. She is the Queen of England
3. And important the leader of the commonwealth
So, there was every reason for this news to become an international trending news in an instant. But, beyond the death what is England now going to look like? If you had read this article till this point, you are probably waiting for the part where I start talking about the coronation of Charles the third as the new King of England, however, that’s not the focus of this article.
Let’s start from the appointment of Liz Truss. A few days to the death of Queen she oversaw the appointment and swearing-in of Liz Truss as the new British Prime Minister. But the emphasis here is “oversaw”.
The Royal position of King/Queen of England has been known over some years now in letter as being merely a ceremonial position, but is it? The late queen oversaw the appointment of 15 prime minister under her watch as the queen and one duty they had to the queen is that they must keep her informed about the state matters at least once every week. Now, take that as one, it will come together.
In the world today, almost all the countries with king/queen with and absolute power like the king have all come under strong criticism as being backward, or some even directly labeled “dictators” (as in the case of the king of Thailand). But, isn’t it surprising that the royalty of England is never spoken ill of? Are they that righteous? Take it as two, and keep holding my coffee.
Before you interject, let me quickly clarify something. The Kings in Africa, the Khalifa/Kings in the middle east, and the Kings in Asia all seems to have something in common that makes them a victim of pointing hands; they control the affairs of the state (including the finances). But, do you know who else have this in common with them? Yes! You guessed right; the England royalty. Well, the media talks about the royal sit of England being merely a ceremonial position, but one thing they don’t about much is that the expenses and financing of the royal court is the burden of the British Treasury. Please don’t quote, the internet is your friend, just check how much goes to the royal wallet every year and compare with that of the prime minister. I guess the answer might help you understand who is in charge of the highest decision-making office of Great Britain.
This is not in any way a slander to the British Royalty; in fact, I personally love the Queen before she died (why I have gotten love her that much is something even I cannot explain). But, emphasizing the public voice, I am tempted to ask “when will the monarch be abolished in England?” well, I guess not my question answer.
Now, we have a King. Long live the king!
