My wife has been paying rapt attention to the rituals attending the death and burial of Elizabeth Windsor, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Today I would like to ask one question and make one observation.
My question is will the succession of Charles III have any impact on British foreign policy, especially its relationship with the United States? I don’t think so but I’d like to hear the views of others.
My observation is that the search terms “charles abdicate” gives 78,300,000 results.
No effect. My view is this is all just celebrity culture.
Of course, that assumes Charles models his role on that of the Queen. If he becomes a more political figure, then it might have a small effect.
