Você sabe quem é o steinmier de Frank-Walter? Ou Sergio Mattorella ou mesmo Michael.D.Higgins? Eles são respectivamente os presidentes da Alemanha, Itália e Irlanda. As pessoas alinham as ruas para elas, compram placas de celebração delas ou querem conhecer todos os detalhes de suas vidas? Ele conseguiu o trono britânico, apesar de ser 58º na fila de sucessão. Os 57 à sua frente eram católicos. Também houve alguns ruins, o decadente George IV e o egoísta Edward VIII. De alguma forma, a variabilidade desses reinados faz parte do fascínio. Então, vamos ver o que isso realmente significaria. Pode nos dar Sir David Attenborough, Sir Trevor MacDonald, Helen Mirren, Joanna Lumley ou Stephen Fry. Eu não estou sendo faceto. Se estivessem preparados para permanecer, poderiam muito bem ser eleitos em uma onda de sentimentos nas mídias sociais. Suas qualificações teriam que ser que não fossem mais politicamente tóxicas e despertadas o menor sentimento visceral possível. Em outras palavras, seriam figuras de baunilha que atrairiam pouca oposição e, como conseqüência, pouco interesse. Ele é um mês mais novo que eu, então passamos por seis das sete eras do homem juntas. Ao contrário de mim, ele só agora está começando seu trabalho principal. Princesa Diana e a falecida rainha. Seguir os passos de Elizabeth II sempre será difícil. Ela uniu monarquistas e até os republicanos "tímidos" que pessoalmente admiravam a devoção da rainha ao dever enquanto se opõem à instituição.
There can be no logical justification for us to have a head of state who is a descendent of the Elector of Hanover. He got the British throne despite being 58th in the succession queue. The 57 ahead of him were catholic.
Whilst the hereditary principle is indefensible, it has thrown up some good monarchs since the accession of George the First in 1714. There was Victoria, jolly Edward VII, George VI who saw us through the Second World War and Elizabeth the Second. There have been some bad ones too, the decadent George IV and the selfish Edward VIII. Somehow the variability of these reigns is part of the fascination.
We could combine the role of political and formal head of state as the Americans and French do, but most republicans seem to favour an elected president. So let’s look at what that would actually mean. It might give us Sir David Attenborough, Sir Trevor MacDonald, Helen Mirren, Joanna Lumley or Stephen Fry. I am not being facetious. If they were prepared to stand, they could well be elected on a wave of social media sentiment.
What is more likely is that the old political party machine would fill the vacuum of apathy and we’d get John Major, William Hague or Baroness Ashton, the Labour peer and former European Commissioner. Their qualifications would have to be that they were no longer politically toxic and roused as little visceral feeling as possible. In other words they would be vanilla figures that would attract little opposition and, as a consequence, little interest.
So let’s continue with the hereditary monarchy, reduced in size and cost and turn our attention to the coronation of Charles III. He is one month younger than me, so we have passed through six of the seven ages of man together. Unlike me he is only now starting his main job.
Although he and Queen Camilla have done much to redeem themselves in the eye of public opinion, the shadow of two women are cast over the new reign. Princess Diana and the late Queen. Following in Elizabeth II’s footsteps will always prove difficult. She united monarchists and even ‘shy’ republicans who personally admired the Queen’s devotion to duty whilst opposing the institution.
haverá uma grande audiência para a coroação. O entusiasmo variará entre as gerações com evidências de que os jovens não são inspirados pelo rei idoso. Ele espera que possa, apropriadamente, se concentrar em causas como o meio ambiente e que as apresentações laterais prejudiciais causadas pelo príncipe Harry e pelo príncipe Andrew desaparecerão.

Charles has shown he is sensitive to the need for change, although references to being Defender of the Faith of the Protestant Reformed religion will jar in our multi-faith nations. He will hope that he can, appropriately, focus on causes like the environment and that the damaging sideshows caused by Prince Harry and Prince Andrew will fade away.
As he grows older, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will increasingly come to the fore to continue a tradition that goes back to Christmas Day 1066 when William I was crowned in Westminster Abbey.
