    How I wish that people nowadays were more like this man - kindly, tolerant, authentic, polite and discreet. These days, people are just spiteful, confrontational, and malicious - just for the sake of carping and complaining - a bit like his disappointing son, Prince Harry. SO sick of hearing people complain about the ceremony - it's an old ceremony, a thousand or more years old - just like weddings etc. It is what it is - and thank goodness we have these traditions - which no one else has.

      The millions of people that celebrated the Queen’s Coronation, had come out of 6 years of a devastating war, still on rations, very little in the way of food, money, heating, and cities still being rebuilt, after the terrible bombing raids.
      So what is your point?
      That people are hurting today? Tomorrow? The next day?

    I do like this gentleman. He definitely has the look of Winston about him. Before I even started school, and I am 80 now, my mother taught me the speech of We will fight them on the beaches. I had a good memory and at 13 our English teacher read it out one day and asked if anyone knew who had written it. I was the only one out of 32 girls who knew. I later became an historian and a writer. Now I watch my iPad and enjoy everything I can find in films of Winston. I know it’s not accurate but it is highly entertaining which is what I need now. I am 5 years older than the king. and remember when he was born. Our art teacher took our class us to the theatre to watch the film on the Coronation. It was very beautiful but very long ❤ from NZ

Our world needs touchstones, and the British Monarchy is one, a good one. Clear membership in a tradition, in a culture, in a system of government that simply tries to do its best, is a gift and an example to the whole world. Maybe Parliament is in a fog, but the British Royal Family is not. Best of luck to Charles from an American who loves Great Britain from afar, every day.

      Apart from private homes/apartments, much is public access.
      Prince Philip made a lot more of the properties no longer run at a loss.
      If the family did step down, their private money would be theirs, just like any other billionaire.
      You would have a much better case to attack those like the Duke of Westminsters, who set up their huge estates to be a trust, to have the use of everything, but not own it, and to pay little in death duties or income tax.
      There should be a law that trusts must pay a MINIMUM of 3% of the total value of the trust, whether or not the trust makes a profit.
      So there is no way they can be multi millionaires/billionaires and not pay any tax.
      Same for big companies. No matter what they do to officially run at a loss, they still pay 3% of their official holdings.
      That would fix the NHS woes with a handful of billionaires. And as for the Brit billionaires who live in tax exile countries, they pay 10% a year on everything held in UK. Taken out before they can remove profits overseas. If all countries do that, the world would be in a far better state. There would be nowhere to hide.

The fact that he is a friend of King Charles is helpful as he knows how much the King cares about many important issues such as the Environment, The Prince's Trust and the conditions for the Military among many. It was a very informative and articulate presentation. I agree with how upsetting it must have been for Prince Harry to cause stress and hurt to his father. I hope Prince Harry apologizes.

Then you have people moaning about the designer dresses etc Bruce Oldfield jesse collett Alexander McQueen all British designers and don’t forget the hundreds of U.K. small businesses farmer florists and food producers. Oh and just in case you didn’t know the whole royal family costs you and I under the price of one cup of coffee a year in 2021-2022 it was £1.29, and they are patrons to around 3000 charity’s large and small local and international in the case of princess royal. We would lose more than we gain for not having them. You think not having then will equalise us it would be fairer life would be better we’ll think again there would still be the have and the have nots and the rich and the poor those that think they are better than us because that the nature of humans sadly. Personally I think my one coffee worth was well spent because at the end of the day for better or worse it promoted my country and was an amazing piece of living history and that brings in the tourists and business opportunities and that’s fine by me.

Sadly today there is little respect for institutions or one another. The Coronation was so deeply moving, food for the soul. Immediately there was screaming "no black on the balcony". Never mind how evident with all races and religions represented so well. Not only was there participation in the ceremony but so many invited guests.

    I've only watched a few minutes of this but NS is absolutely lovely. I'm a "blubberer" too; my goodness, when the heralds came out on the final Jubilee day last June and our beloved late Queen appeared in her green magnificence, there was such an emotion in my heart. It was her goodbye to us and most of us watching on TV - or there in the crowd, or on the balcony - were aware of that. The concerned look the then Duchess of Cornwall gave to her husband said it all. It was a hugely emotional moment in the nation's history. You could almost feel the ground shake. So Soames, who was so young at his grandfather's funeral - and which Prince Charles also attended in 1965 - has perhaps a deeper insight into it all; and an emotional connection to the mystical and historical connection than anyone outside of the immediate RF.

      Unfortunately KC3 is a supporter of the evil WEF. Their video from shows the King supporting ‘the great reset of the 4th Industrial Revolution’ and at the end of the video ‘ you will own nothing and be happy’.

    One major thing that seems to always be overlooked at the time of interviews that I have seen is: the RF live in a fishbowl. All those houses (castles) they live in are not really theirs... a few of them are, but the rest are not. Just like the jewels... they are not theirs but the crowns. With great privilege comes great responsibility. I;m sure you are very much aware of that saying. It's more than a saying however. those people are so busy... I wouldn't want to do all that they do. I have my life to live. They give their lives to the role of monarchy and for that they live in grand houses and wear fine clothes. Is it worth it I wonder....

    He is correct that people who carp are people who will always carp.

    Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong era. This man is so eloquent, honest, and respectful. I am American, but I love and respect the monarchy and understand that level of loyalty and honor. Much love from your American friends! :)
