Prince Charles was widely mocked for speaking about the cost of living crisis as he sat on a golden throne.

Say you're a leader charged with giving a speech about the economy and ever-rising cost of living making the people of your country's life ever more difficult.

Would you ever choose to do so while bedecked in jewels and sitting atop a golden throne?

It may seem an utterly absurd choice to us, but that's precisely what happened in the U.K. when Prince Charles filled in for his mother Queen Elizabeth II and gave an address to the country from the House of Lords.

What he's reading is The Queen's Speech (known as The Speech from the Throne in Canada) and it's the Government's policy platform for the upcoming Parliamentary Session. The Parliamentary version of State of the Union if you will. The Queen doesn't write it - only reads it.

It's a royal ceremony, try to get past it ok.

I feel absolutely sorry for the guy. Spent his whole life being trained and having to live for one purpose, to become king. And mummy will not let him.
What must it be like going your whole life knowing you will never reach your goal until your parent is dead.

Its bad optics.

Chuckie has been waiting so long to be king, now he is just a feeble old man.

The Prince of Wales has no Constitional role, other to wait for the person in front of him to die, or a regency if the monarch can not perform their duties.


I have no opinion on the man himself, but admire his mother's lifetime of service to her country. When his time comes, and that will not be long now, he will do his duty.

Its up to the Brits if one keeps the current structure once HM is gone.

Its bad optics.

How should it be done? It's a big fancy room, with a throne. I'm not sure how they can get around that.

Would Biden read his State of the Union in the House or at the local Super 8 conference room?

It’s hard to get past the imagery of royalty, when that is basically all that royalty is. There are certainly potential powers of the British crown, but they rarely seem to be exercised.

Its a bigger picture, the royal family has always been out of the loop as to how the real world works. Charisma can only carry the family so far, its really a useless institution that helps no one. (save the tabloids)

Much different system than the US. The Head of State cannot legislate, and only exists as a backstop, a fail-safe to prevent government overreach. When they are doing nothing (other than signing Acts into law) the system is working as designed.

Monarchy will always look stupid. It is stupid. Even just as a figurehead, just as a symbol, it's stupid and it looks stupid.

The event calendar for the royal family is public. Princess Anne did 368 engagements in 2021, the majority involving everyday citizens in all walks of life. Few politicians could claim to have so much contact with the public.

It's ceremony and pomp. All countries do it.

With a king it's more stupid than others.

Feeble in which way? He seems to be physically fit, not a smoker and light drinker.

Please elaborate with cites to support the thesis statement.

It's a matter of degrees of pomp & ceremony. Britain does it large. Always has.

Anne always was a work horse, no nonsense lady. She is also Charles closest sibling, he values her opinion.

She will be an asset to her brother when he is King. Younger brother Andrew, now there is a piece of work.

Ageism is what it is. Both sides engage in it - Biden is feeble because he's old according to the right for example.

Undoubtedly.

Younger brother Andrew, now there is a piece of work.

Andrew is toast when Charles becomes King. His mother might have a soft spot for Andrew but Charles and William will send him packing. As they should.

Yes, it's bad optics, but the Brits love that shit. I Suspect they keep the royal family around just for this kinda stuff.

Biden is feeble because he’s Feeble,

Donald Trump isn’t far behind him and is very sharp.

Andrew knows once his mother is gone, he will disappear in all ceremonial occasions.

This is such a dumb criticism. The throne is literally built into the Parliament building and Charles is doing what the Monarch is Constitutionally required to do.

I actually like Charlie and his wife, too (the current one, not the first one). It is kind of funny though, I see what you're saying here.

bless her heart, the queen does not have much time left and he will soon be king..
