King Charles 2023 Christmas Message

What was that? I've just seen what I think is the worst Christmas message given by a reigning British Monarch. I'll have to see it again, but just off the top of my head after having sat through this nonsense:

Charles hardly ever mentioned the Commonwealth (I think I heard it said once). 

Did he mention his own family? They're probably there, I'll review but if you blinked you missed it. [Upon review, he never mentions any of his children or grandchildren by name, but he says the word family a couple of times and shows pictures of them doing stuff.]

I heard the word conflict once, genocide seems to be something you don't talk about these days. 

When it comes to religion, bear in mind this is a Christian festival, honouring the birth of Jesus. What I've just witnessed is a pseudo Christian message spliced with woke, the new religion worshipping the Earth. In this woke world we can be better people from within ourselves, forget about the will of God.

Charles never mentions his own journey, and of his relationship with God. That, I think, is the biggest omission, is Charles even Christian?

He's got to go, this is no King.

Will the Monarchy Survive?

I hear people saying Prince William and his lovely wife Catherine, along with their beautiful children are the modern face of the British Royal Family. I agree, yes, right now they are.

But hang on, the Queen has died aged 96. She was a link back as far as the 1920's, basically a whole century, impressive. But now we are entering a new phase, returning to normal as it were, with males ascending the throne, all of them old and ruling for 20-30 years before the next takes over. Let me explain:

King Charles is 73, coming up to his 74th birthday in November. Given the age at which his parents died, he has about 20 years at the top to look forward to. After him will come his son William, currently aged 40. When he takes over from his father he'll be 60. If he reigns for 30 years, his son will then come to the throne aged 59. 

Rounding this, failing abdications or unexpected deaths, the next 80-90 years will see a pale, stale, older male on the throne. The twenty-second century will arrive and no female in sight. Male primogeniture may have gone, but it makes no difference in this scenario.

I'm not convinced the British Monarchy can survive, given the direction society has taken and contrasting with the feudal system currently in place.
