What the new monarch really thinks about the pain of a plunging pound sterling, the pensions of millions of people being jeopardized, a welfare state starved of funds, a winter in which many will find it hard to be warm and fed, and ina prime minister who seems as oblivious of peril as the captain of the Titanic—of all of this he cannot speak.
Truss has been swift to exercise her new powers. The queen died within days of accepting the resignation of Boris Johnson, the prime minister who organized a boozy party in 10 Downing Street on the eve of Prince Philips’s funeral, and her anointing of Truss as successor. With the royal family still in mourning, the new Tory prime minister set about sweeping aside anyone who opposed her draconian ideas.
The danger now for Charles is that the bleakness of the British economic future could present a growing peril to the monarchy itself. The British people, possibly facing years of austerity, could get as pissed off with the opulent trappings of the royal family as they are becoming with the Tory doctrine of pampering the rich with tax cuts while deliberately unraveling the social safety net on which millions depend to survive.
It is very different this time. Shortly after the queen’s death, her private secretary, Edward Young, had to yield power to Charles’s minder, the far more politically deft Clive Alderton. But any idea that this would lead to a migration of staff from Clarence House to Buckingham Palace was soon confounded.Long before the current national crisis, Charles acknowledged that the monarchy needed to be downsized. It has become more urgent now.
Yes he will.
He kind of has to - he’s now a figurehead.
Prediction: The monarchy won't survive him. As for his mouth....that won't matter as its his ACTIONS that matter. He's a vaccuous doofus and not being the sharpest tool in the chest it will do the institution in before he leaves the earth.
