A Familiar Face. . .

This week, I feature, and have been fascinated by the engaging tale of "King Charles III" on Masterpiece!

This has so far been a very gripping play. On the true story of King Charle's Reign. Nothing like a royal family feud to keep you entertained...

            Though, in some ways I can relate to the aging prince/king... He loved his mother dearly. And when she died everything around him, seemed to fall apart!

           It's understandable, why he desired to stand his ground on that issue. For centuries, the royal family has always had a say in the ruling of the country. In the laws of the land! And now, they were being pushed aside for the first time(well ok, it wasn't the first time this happened. But it clearly seemed the last.)... in favor of democracy.
           It wasn't just the principle of the matter... it was the honor of the throne, he defended. The right that set their nation aside from all of the others. By having a monarch, a royal family... which held an important, though small place, in the politics of their nation. Setting them apart from all of the other nations. And giving them a culture as rich and historical as the cultures of the east...
           Though, now that they no longer held a measure of power over the land,. . . people often wonder. What is the reason for having a royal family in the first place?
          And though, some may speculate on that. Saying that it simply gives them a measure of prestige, honor, or something to idolize, and a famed sort of dignity, that can only come from a... Royal source!
           Charle's knew! He knew that by diminishing that right... the right for the King or Queen to aid in the politics of the land,... that it would leave the Royal Family with no power. And ultimately,... no substance.
           It's rather sad, I think.
           That they've been reduced to just being like celebrities among the common British Citizens. They have no say in it anymore. So. . . they've become just a rich celebrity family, that live in the castles their ancestors built.
           In my opinion, They can call them Royal. They can call them King. But,... when Charles signed that document... and advocated the throne,. . . when he gave up the right to aid in the decisions of his country,... He also gave up. . . being King.

             They're just a rich bunch of people, now.
             

                 They like to call, The Royal Family.
