Yes, I can understand that, but he's been a lead voice on the environment a lot longer than most. I guess he's swapped his beliefs & scruples for the trappings of monarchy, and that diminishes him rather than elivates him in my eyes.

You expected him to be making political statements as the monarch?

The only reason the monarchy still exists is because the head of it remains apolitical.

I guess I had some inchoate expectation that he'd be more influential. Sunak's just turned him into a hypocrite.

I generally don't want some bloke who is only there through accident of birth to have any influence on policy.

Who voted for him to have influence?

[-] 3arn0wl@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'd support constitutional reform.

And that's the least bad thing Sunak has done this week!
