The Ascension of King Charles III and Queen Camilla

[LouisFerdinand]

Now that sounds very very interesting. I?d be interested, as an incorrigible history buff, in purchasing that book.

I agree that this would be a superb book to have. I especially like From Charles II to Charles III in the title.

Tonight the Duke of York and the Duke of Edinburgh attended St George's Chapel at Windsor for a special evensong marking King Charles's accession to the throne.
Photography was not permitted at the event.

evensong: (in the Christian Church) a service of evening prayers, psalms, and canticles, conducted according to a set form, especially that of the Anglican Church.

I'm glad  that the brothers were able to attend this event and that it was a private one.

A whopping 175,000 people are being asked to give their opinion on the Royal Family in a major poll commissioned by the Government.

The unprecedented survey will see ordinary voters questioned on what they think the role of the monarchy should be. Households from across the country are being randomly selected to take part in the exercise. The results of the opinion poll are being relayed to senior members of the Royal Household. Details on what the country thinks King Charles and members of his family should be doing will be made public this summer.

People surveyed are being asked: What do you think should be the main role of the Monarchy in the UK? The options, of which participants can only pick one, include to undertake a constitutional role as Head of State (such as opening each new session of Parliament), to support and encourage public service and charitable sectors and to recognise and support the armed forces.

Other possible choices are to be the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, to provide a sense of continuity and act as a focus for national identity, unity and pride, to promote the UK abroad and to recognise exceptional achievement by issuing honours (such as MBEs, OBEs).

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has commissioned pollster Verian to ask about the monarchy as part of a wider survey. Other questions include how often people visit a library, have they listened to a podcast in the last year and whether they have a smart speaker in their house.

The polling exercise, which will see a total of 175,000 people interviewed, began in May this year and will be completed by the end of March. People who take part are given a 10 shopping voucher as a thank you. The incentive alone will cost an estimated 1.75million.

The Government published some early results last week with the responses from people who took part in the survey between July and September, but they excluded details of what they said about the role of the monarchy. They are due to be released in the summer.

The results of a separate question on major events showed 90% had heard of the Coronation of King Charles, compared to 70% who were aware of the Women's Euro 2022 tournament, which was won by England. More than half (51%) said they had taken part in the Coronation celebrations in May, including 45% who followed coverage on TV and radio, 8% who attended local events and 2% who joined in the national festivities in London and Windsor.

Ahead of conducting this super-survey, the Government has done smaller "interim" ones with 33,000 people each in the past two years, which included a question on the role of the monarchy. The new survey is more than five times bigger.

Last year of the 9,004 people who answered the question on what they thought should be the monarchy's main role, 28% said to provide a sense of continuity and act as a focus for national identity, unity and pride, ahead of 23% who said to undertake a constitutional role as Head of State.

It?s not really a Govt Survey, it?s one commissioned by a specific Govt Ministry or Dept, one that deals with media, culture and Sport among other things. By the way, that Dept has been split into two distinct Depts and Digital is no longer part of it, it?s gone over to the Dept of Science and Technology.

As for practically everybody knowing about the Coronation that would be hardly surprising considering the media were spruiking/mentioning it every day (sometimes several times a day) for months, in comparison to a Women's Soccer contest which people uninterested in sport would have had the opportunity of not taking any notice of. Even in Aus you would have had to have been deaf, blind and otherwise incapacitated not to know about the event.

As for 51% taking part in the Coronation in fact that apparently means most watched it on TV or radio in their homes. That doesn?t mean they all watched it all the way through or just part of it, or fell asleep halfway through. They won?t be asked that!

And I have to say, that for a constitutional monarchy the fact that 49% of the population (almost half) weren't bothered enough to partake in it at all, not even to the extent of turning on a TV, is hardly a ringing endorsement of the institution of the British monarchy!

And I would guess that republicans wouldn?t be interested in taking part in this survey so will be whittled out. That says it all really.
