While the British public have been coming to terms with Charles the King, the British media has also been trying to adapt to the changing dynamic
BRITAIN HAS NOW had almost eight months to get used to the idea of King Charles but this weekend’s coronation will literally trumpet his accession to anyone around the world who may have missed the royal memo.
This is of course the same Charles whose private late night telephone calls with Camilla, including the infamous tampon reference, were published widely in 1993. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that King Charles had given his support to research being undertaken at Manchester University into the historical links between the British monarchy and the transatlantic slave trade.
But rather than the revelatons themselves, it was King Charles’ response to slave trade research that generated the greatest reaction. The Mail argued that “self-appointed moral arbiters” would use the research to advance their case for reparations, a result it described as “a can of worms”. It described O’Neill as being given as “prized seat” at the service, a reference to the general unease among the press that too few people are being invited to the coronation.
The Mail on Sunday questioned the decision, arguing that the coronation was being “diluted in the name of diversity”.
