The King will have the added challenge of connecting with the national psyche, in being the replacement to the Queen’s constant and reassuring presence at the centre of national life. The King now faces the task of continuing to be that uniting force. In relation to the Commonwealth realms, we might expect Charles to be more conscious of societal changes. It is the start of a new era, but one that will largely follow the “rulebook” that governed Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. For the system to survive, the king must be an uncontroversial figure, and remain politically neutral. Since the reign of King John and the 1215 signing of Magna Carta, the UK has had a system of monarchy limited by law.

A house of reluctant royals: It's time to lance the lot and bring a better democracy to the UK.

But now is the mother of all opportunities to change. But then expressing opinions is not the royal thing to do, and hasn't Charles had to learn that lesson of late? We still don't have those conversations, because we are subjects of the monarchy, it's ours to be silent and suck it up. Despite all previous antipathy to royal regalia and evils in the media, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge, have become the epitome of modern royalty. Two days after her kissing hands with Prime Minister Liz Truss, in a final act as head of state and mother to nations, the Queen was gone. The House of Windsor has seen many reluctant royals, and King Charles III certainly fits that mold.

The King now faces the task of continuing to be that uniting force. Throughout her 70-year reign, the UK has become accustomed to HM Queen Elizabeth II being the one who speaks for the country during times of celebration, and in times of loss and grief. It is the start of a new era, but one that will largely follow the “rulebook” that governed Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. In relation to the Commonwealth realms, we might expect Charles to be more conscious of societal changes. Similarly, Prince William acknowledged, on a visit to Jamaica that the “appalling atrocity of slavery stains our history”. For the system to survive, the king must be an uncontroversial figure, and remain politically neutral. When it comes to political meddling the King has made it clear that he knows his approach must now be different. The new king is acutely aware of the change that he must now make. Constitutional conventions that did not apply to him when he was a prince must now guide his every action as king. ](https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/world/king-charles-to-be-proclaimed-britains-new-monarch/article65874331.ece)The transition period has already seen questions raised about whether we can expect the new king to be “interventionist”.

Charles II was nicknamed the “merry monarch” because of his hedonism and many romances. The son of Charles I spent his youth abroad during Britain’s 11 years of rule under Cromwell.

Buckingham Palace revealed Charles and other members of the royal family would observe an extended mourning period from now until seven days after her funeral. The Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin will not. US President Joe Biden has said he will attend.

Playwright Mike Bartlett says his drama King Charles III, which premiered in 2014, included some uncanny predictions.

With Helen Mirren in the role of the monarch, it arguably started the bold trend for representing the contemporary royal family on screen. But we are seeing the last vestiges of all that, since we now all know more than we want to know, in some ways, about their personal lives.” But because of the life the Prince of Wales led, we know his views.” “Tim Pigott-Smith did not do an impression in my play, and there was no mockery in it,” said Bartlett.

Britain, we now know, has a new monarch. And, we think, the world has a new hope. Especially the divided worlds of the West and Islam.

"Extremism is no more the monopoly of Islam than it is the monopoly of other religions, including Christianity." Islam, as the future monarch remarked, is "the religion of the middle way". Because, to the prince, the way the West understands Islam "has been hijacked by the extreme and the superficial". People of the Book share "a belief in one divine God, in the transience of our earthly life, in our accountability for our actions and in the assurance of the life to come". The Prince of Wales advised the two communities then, and we think, he would do the same as King Charles III, to look "for that which binds our two worlds together" because it "is so much more powerful than that which divides us". But a speech he delivered on Oct 27, 1993 as Prince of Wales on "Islam and the West" at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford, England, tells of a royal who sees the need for others, especially those in the West, to understand Islam.

In 2008 he said, "We cannot be anything less than courageous and revolutionary in our approach to attacking climate change." Unlike his mother, people know what he thinks – on modern architecture (he hates it), on global warming (where he was well ahead of the curve). "In some ways, I think she is," Schama replied, "because she became so affectionately familiar for the vast majority of Britons, both somehow mystically distant and … James Palace Saturday in which he was formally proclaimed King, he said, "In taking up these responsibilities, I shall strive to follow the inspiring example I have been set."
