This is essentially a Christian religion event, but few in the UK would profess to be practicing Christians. Charles should be pushing Christianity, not kowtowing to other religions. Or make it an event without any Christian aspect. I see a choral group just now, not a white face amongst them. Great singing, but I feel it is virtual signalling. I see past prime ministers and so many entitled (or not so entitled) people. If Charles says he is one of the people, then don't invite these elites but fill the cathedral with 'common' people from all walks of life. I'm watching as its history (well waiting for the football actually) The pomp and circumstance of the military is great, cant say I care much for the religious mumbo jumbo!

There is the very real possibly that in doing so the ‘people of England’ ...i.e. the General British public would be worse off as they’d miss out on the additional income to the British Economy generated by the British Royal family. On an individual level the difference would be marginal of course, however, on a national level those funds and the monies and publicity generated by the British Royal family are of an advantage to the British Economy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think the money comes from ??? And where do you think the money that the Royal Family brings in goes ??? You can’t have one without the other, thus unless cherry picking a dumbed down and over simplified a single facet of the argument we have to consider the whole. It's been a long running debate, between Royalists and Anti-Royalist’s and its generally accepted that as a national institution The British Royal family bring in more money than they cost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication here is that the Royal Family is to blame for the Woes of the British Economy in its current state. Perhaps there is room to argue that the British Economy could be in a worse state if it were not for the Royal Family. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
