How did Charles fare on his first Christmas speech?
“He stayed true to the format of his mother, who passed away this year. Like the Queen, she put service at her heart: Charles spoke extensively about public services. This is currently a hot topic in the UK: the National Health Service (SSN, the public health system, PG) is now pending. Stressing their importance, Charles encouraged them.
“Also, Charles mentioned the Commonwealth, which his mother always did. The Christian message he gave is also a classic. What is interesting is that Charles, as head of the Anglican Church, emphasized other religions more of a mother than he did. He clearly wants to present himself as the king of all. One can already read that other religions will feature prominently at his coronation. This is well received. For example, the royal family is quite popular among Muslims and Hindus.”
Charles has completed his first hundred days. How are you?
“Operation control after – a movie where he gets upset about a leaking fountain pen – he actually does it quite neatly. For example, he is demurely silent about his entire relationship with Harry and Meghan. Well, his speech was already recorded before the first episode of their Netflix series aired. That they weren’t mentioned in the speech and that heir to the throne William and Kate were? Only the working royals came into view. Charles was demurely silent about all the non-working royals, like Harry, Meghan and Andrew. It’s not a coincidence.”
The whole story of Harry and Meghan and the television series The crownin which Charles’ excesses were thrust into the spotlight again, surely they wouldn’t have done him any good?
“Buckingham Palace is using the strategy it has been following for years: don’t fight back. They want to respond with their behavior, not words. This seems to be gaining public support. The message seems to be: ignore those people in America (Harry and Meghan, P.G) but. For now, Charles is in good shape. He experiences his honeymoon.”
Will Charles be able to become as loved as the queen?
“It’s difficult. William is still the most popular royal. Charles will eventually turn out to be the grandfather of the nation and become a little more popular. But he will never be as loved as his mother. The whole thing with Diana is still too over the top.” his head for that. Of course, a lot also has to do with the fact that Charles has been able to pronounce himself on all sorts of issues for years as crown prince. Name a topic and the British will know what Charles thinks about it. While her mother became queen at a very young age, she kept a low profile as a result and we never really knew what she was thinking, which proved to be her great strength.
“In that sense, it’s interesting that Charles is now following in his mother’s footsteps in speaking. Twenty years ago, Britons feared it would be too controversial. As recently as 1995, Diana gave a famous interview in which she stated that Charles would not be fit to be king. She thought he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would have an opinion on everything, which is unthinkable for a king. However, he now appears to have fallen into the fold.
“The first test for this was the climate summit in Egypt. Until recently Charles was always one of those present. Downing Street (where the British Prime Minister, PG, lives) had already indicated that they would not appreciate such a performance. Charles has adapted to this. It wouldn’t have been like this twenty years ago.’
