Coronation

I'm watching the coronation of King Charles III, not because I'm a monarchist (I'm a republican) but because I'm 61, not in good health and this may be my only chance to see one.

Can't help wondering, though, what non-British people make of all this flummery,

Non-Brit, who slept through the night and missed the pageantry, sad to say.

Discussions that include Brits, about politics, have suggested that they'd want a republican system of government, except that the current office-holders are so terrible that they'd prefer this king instead. As long as it stays constitutional.
