I will – like millions – be watching the coronation for the pomp, pageantry and shared experience, but pledge allegiance to a “royal highness”? I’d rather man the barricades ✒️ stefanohat via ipaperviews
‘Tthe UK is not Disneyland; these characters are not fictional princes and princesses,’ writes Stefano Hatfield
“Wait. What? Sir, the coronation’s next week? So, like, basically, what happens?” My Year 8s at the secondary school in which I teach emphasised last week that Charles and Camilla’s big day is not top of the mind for everybody. Delighted by having a day off, they were less enthused about the “why”. Year 8 represent a big chunk of a country, polarised by the royal jamboree. People from entirely different, social, cultural and political backgrounds are aligned in disdainful apathy.
My largely Islamic, mostly Middle-Eastern pupils are from the “small c” conservative end of the cultural spectrum. They have no meaningful allegiance to Britain’s monarchy. It is merely a symbol of the country in which their families sought refuge. However, they are not sneery or judgemental – unlike the many liberals I know, elite or otherwise.
