Beautiful; I couldn't agree more. I also have confidence that King Charles will be a memorable and inspiring monarch.

I just subscribed. (Smile)

So lovely to be hearing this during the queen's final procession into St George's chapel at Windsor. My beloved Chantel wanted to have the BBC coverage on, and I escaped into the garden at times (for some much avoided chores).

The Westminster Abbey ceremony only confirmed my feelings of the complete disconnect with what I experience as true divinity but some later perspectives from people like celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh reinforced the very human and dutiful side which I realised from A Royal Night Out where she and Margaret manage to disappear for hours in amongst the public at the VE Day celebrations: probably her last real freewheeling night out for more than 70 years.

I appreciate your take on all power structures as being something subconsciously sought after and potentially benign. Also, I recognise the potential of Charles III to influence the development of green and redemptive solutions to our situation. I guess he will continue give relevance to this ancient institution tho I really think it is only God that can save us - and that only if we [all humanity] give up empire and carry the same prayer - whatever that would be.
