Integrity.
At a time when some people might be celebrating the crowning of Charles and Camilla, I know that many cannot ignore the gross indiscretions that they both enacted. Historically, leaders of a nation were meant to be positive reinforcements of a country’s values and important public advocates for the state. It is a situation that does not warrant scandal, flagrant abuse of power and immoral behaviour.
In 1994 Charles publicly admitted to adultery although not at that time naming Camilla. In 1995 Princess Diana announced there was a third person in her marriage to Charles and it had certainly been a crowded relationship. When honesty and integrity should be the cornerstones of any prospective ruling Royal family, it is difficult to contemplate Charles and Camilla crowned as King and Queen.
The present Royal family only have that status through the abdication of Edward the Eighth and that was due to the events in 1936. The irony is that Charles’s great uncle wished to marry a divorcee and to pursue his intention, he gave up entitlement to the throne. It is with great disappointment that many feel Charles has not repeated his decision. Hypocrisy is not only extremely evident but moreover this time, the person desiring to take the throne, has flouted an integral part of the constitution.
It is important to keep pace with the times, but how to publicly accept that adulterous, unkind and unfaithful actions can claim entitlement to sit at the Head of State is not a representation of the country’s standards.
The former Queen throughout her reign always demonstrated empathy for her subjects. Whereas evidence does seem to suggest that Charles seems more concerned about everybody recognising his newly claimed position as King. Portraits at a time of a cost of living crisis and excessive, lavish demands for pomp and ceremony are only going to strain the relationship between Country and State.
If Princess Diana could be called the Queen of Hearts, this title is no doubt awarded through her natural display of kindness and compassionate treatment of all the many people she met during her relatively short life. In choosing any nation’s King or Queen, it is difficult if not impossible to ignore private and public behaviour. Actions do have consequences or so people are brought up to believe, and if so, decisions and responses should aptly indicate the thoughts and feelings of any countries involved.
