The King v Christ: Charles 3rd Demotes Jesus and De-Christianises the Monarchy.

June 28, 2026

If the monarch is not prepared to defend our way of life, what is the monarchy’s purpose?

I have nothing against Islam as a religion. On the contrary, there are many things about Islam which I admire. Its sense of community and brotherhood in particular are praiseworthy. However, as I stated in my book even twenty-five years ago, Islam is not out to live with other religions or ways of life side-by-side; rather, it is out to dominate and be triumphant. To virtually all Muslims that I have ever met, and there have been very many—I used to teach adult Muslims in the MIddle East for years, so I am very familiar with their mentality and way of thinking. As I said recently, there is no such thing as Islam-lite; it's the real deal or nothing!

In fact, for those who are not very familiar with Islam’s theology and teachings, in Islam, the world is broken up into two parts: the House of Islam, Dar ul-Islam (دار الإسلام). And the House of War, Dar ul-Harb (دار الحرب). The game plan of all good Muslims is to turn the House of War, the part of the world where the infidels (kufaar — كفار) live, into the House of Islam. Then there will be peace in the world, and only then!

We all should know by now what Muslims do with us queers: they put them to death in countries where the Sharia is uncompromisingly practised. Is this what King Charles envisages for us here in Britain?

By the way, don’t run away with the idea that there are no queers in the Middle East. That would be a grave error in your conclusion. The fact is that there are many gay Muslim Arabs. But they do have a rather distorted understanding of homosexuality and an odd interpretation of homosexual behaviour.

In the Arab world, only the passive partner in a relationship is generally considered queer. Moreover, what goes on in private is the Muslim’s concern, and not anybody else’s. So, if one is queer in the Middle East, the trick is to be queer in private and to refrain from talking about your experiences and refrain from admitting that one experiences same-sex attraction. Save, of course, admitting it with like-minded close friends.

Fortunately, the British state accepts the homosexual lifestyle, even allowing gay marriage. This will not be the case if Islam becomes very strong here. King Charles is helping Islam gain in strength. He ought to refrain from doing so, lest we all come to rue the day that Charles was ever crowned king! — © Mark Alexander

"Is King Charles Turning His Back on Christianity?" | David Starkey Talks... to Bijan Omrani

July 5, 2026 | The decision by King Charles III to change the nature of his role has rightly been greeted with consternation by many Christians. For the simple and powerful title of "Defender of the Faith", the monarchy's flourishing HR department has substituted the cumbersome title of "Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”

Notice the language, the King's role is circumscribed and hemmed in by layers of cultural sensitivity. This is not the specific and expansive responsibility articulated for a powerful monarch but the qualified job description of a bureaucrat. Indeed the language is that of the professional office manager, laced as every workplace must now be with multi-cultural enforcement.

That the King has opted to redefine his role in this way is interpreted as turning away from this country's Christian roots in order to accommodate separatist and often outrightly hostile minority religions. It is, indeed, all of those things. But it is also a massive diminishment of the institution of monarchy, a taking away of its grandeur to be replaced with woke and vague platitudes which cannot possibly capture the hearts of a people. Combined with his selfish decision no longer to reside in the heart of London's ceremonial architecture, i.e. at Buckingham Palace, this week has seen The King reduce the stature of the institution he is sworn to uphold and protect.

To discuss this I'm joined by the author Bijan Omrani, who wrote the brilliant book 'Good Is An Englishman', that examines the central role of Christianity in creating and sustaining England. I hope you enjoy the episode.

He May Be the King, But Is Charles Also a Bit of a Traitor? Dear Reader, You Decide

THE GUARDIAN: Britain’s religious right is fuming over a document suggesting the monarch wants to be defender of all faiths. I’m with Charles: what does that make me?

We need to talk about King Charles and specifically this: is the British monarch basically a traitor? Dr Gavin Ashenden is a former chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, and he says he may be. The king is attempting to change the job description of the British monarch from “defender of the faith” to the more inclusive “protector of the space for faith within the multifaith nation”, and you can see why someone who regularly appears on GB News to lament the “woke takeover” of the church and who suggests that Islam is inherently and uniquely violent would object to this. And then some.

“While the monarch cannot technically be a traitor, we might take refuge in grammar and find that the verb carries our feelings even if the noun cannot,” spluttered Ashenden. “Parliament and the oath it presented to the king as a condition of being crowned are betrayed; the Church of England is betrayed. The constitution is betrayed; Anglicans are specifically betrayed. And Christians in general will legitimately feel abandoned at the very least. Some of them too will feel betrayed.”

And it’s not just him on the smelling salts. “Christianity, not some multifaith mishmash, is the bedrock of our nation’s laws and culture,” said Ciarán Kelly, director of the Christian Institute. “This latest move seems designed to convey the message that Christianity is just one religion among many, and that all are equally valid. They are not.”

But there are at least half a dozen problems with all this carping. » | Ravi Holy | Monday, July 6, 2026

King to ‘Protect Multi-faith Nation’ in Revised Definition of Monarchy

THE TELEGRAPH: His Majesty’s redrafted job description also includes ‘strengthening the UK’s social fabric and cohesion’

The King’s official job is to protect faith “within the multi-faith nation”, under a newly published palace definition of the monarch’s role.

The King, who is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, will “protect the space for Faith” under a redrafted job description from Buckingham Palace.

Published in the annual review of the Royal family’s finances, the Sovereign Grant report 2025-26, it changes the description of the King’s role as “Head of Nation” from last year, when he was the “Head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith”.

This year it goes further to specify: “His Majesty is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and protects the space for Faith within the multi-faith nation.”

Before the King’s coronation, there was debate over whether the King would choose to be “Defender of Faith” in the plural, rather than “the Faith” as his Christian ancestors had been. In the event, he chose the traditional wording.

But he has made interfaith dialogue one of the cornerstones of his working life, both as Prince of Wales and now as King. He speaks regularly of the Abrahamic faiths and undertakes engagements with the Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Orthodox, and other religious communities in Britain and around the world. » | Hannah Furness | Royal Editor | Friday, June 26, 2026

When you try to be all things to all men, you are in danger of ending up being nothing to anyone!

When Queen Elizabeth II died, something great about this nation died with her.

This decision by the monarchy could well, in the long run, turn out to be yet another nail in its coffin!

The British monarchy is in a parlous state anyway, especially because of the scandal brought upon it by the former Prince Andrew, who is now known merely as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

We are supposed to be a democracy. Whether we are or not is, of course, very debatable indeed. As far as I am concerned, this country doesn’t measure up. Far too many things happen without the consent of the people. This decision by the monarchy is a case in point. What do the British people feel about this momentous decision to downgrade Christianity as the nation’s faith?

Moreover, with Islam growing apace in this country, and with Muslims’ rock-solid antipathy towards homosexuality, how long will it be before King Charles goes along with the harsh punishment of queers in this nation? Does the king envisage rubber-stamping such harsh and ludicrous punishments for two men or women loving each other?

King Charles needs to start living in the real world, hard though it would be for him to do so. He needs to understand one very important thing about Islam: there is no such thing as Islam-lite. When it comes to Islam, it’s the real deal, or nothing!

With all this going on at the top of the British establishment, maybe the time has come for the British people to start giving headspace to the idea that this country might well, one day, become a republic. It was 250 years ago that Americans rejected the British king. Maybe now, 250 years later, the time has come for the British themselves to do the same! — © Mark Alexander

‘We Want to See Him in Ukraine’: Zelenskyy Hopes to Invite King Charles on State Visit

THE GUARDIAN: Exclusive: Ukrainian leader says he has ‘a very good relationship’ with British monarch, who has supported his country

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed that he plans to invite King Charles on a state visit to Ukraine as early as this year, which would make him the most senior royal to travel to Kyiv since Russia’s full-scale invasion.

The Ukrainian president said he had a close relationship with the king, whom he has met on numerous occasions, including when he gave a public show of support after Zelenskyy’s explosive visit to the White House last year.

In an interview with the Guardian, Zelenskyy said: “Today I want to invite him [the king] very much. I don’t know from the point of security. Yes, of course, we want to see him in Ukraine very much. I don’t know how it will be this year, if it’s possible, but of course we want to see him.”

Zelenskyy said Charles had continued to support Ukraine, but refused to divulge exactly how. “It’s up to his majesty to answer on such questions,” he said. » | Pippa Crerar and Luke Harding | Tuesday, June 8, 2026

Rob Groves: Deliberate Destruction of USA Is Trump's Revenge

May 2, 2026 | "As King Prince Charles touched down in Washington for a state visit, Britain's own ambassador to the United States had a recording leaked to the Financial Times in which he said the only country that truly has a special relationship with America is probably Israel.

This week's Truth To Power looks at the collapse of American soft power under Trump, the growing European consensus that the United States under this administration is not an ally but a threat, and Rebecca Solnit's compelling thesis that Trump isn't governing badly, he's deliberately destroying governance itself. As an act of revenge on the country that rejected him in 2020.

And what does all of this mean for Britain? Trapped, according to the LSE, between a Europe we've partly left and an America we can no longer trust."

Mamdani’s Advice to Royals: Give That Priceless Diamond Back to India

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and King Charles did not meet privately. But if they had, the mayor said, he probably would have raised the issue of the Koh-i-Noor Diamond. [sic]

Hours before greeting King Charles III in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was asked about the royal visit during a news conference in the Bronx.

The mayor quickly distanced himself, saying that he would be attending a ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum “alongside a number of other elected officials” and that would be the extent of his interaction with the king.

But what would he say to King Charles if they were to have a private meeting?

“I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor Diamond,” Mr. Mamdani said.

The mayor’s decision to invoke the 105.6-carat diamond — taken from an 11-year-old Indian prince in the 1840s when India was a British colony and presented to Queen Victoria — was in character.

Mr. Mamdani was born in Uganda, also once part of the British Empire, to Indian parents who have helped to shape his political views. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a leading scholar of anticolonialism. His mother, Mira Nair, is an award-winning filmmaker whose movies have examined the colonial experience. India has lobbied for the diamond, part of the crown jewels in the Tower of London, to be returned.

Mr. Mamdani is also the city’s first democratic socialist mayor, and he has said his goal is to uplift the city’s working-class residents. » | Jeffrey C. Mays | Wednesday, April 29, 2026

King Charles Agrees with Me on Iran Nuclear Weapon Ban, Claims Trump

THE GUARDIAN: Remarks by US president likely to cause embarrassment for aides of UK monarch, who usually remains neutral

Donald Trump has claimed King Charles agrees with him that Iran should never be allowed nuclear weapons.

Trump made the remarks at a White House state dinner on Tuesday in honour of the visiting Charles and Camilla, after the two men sat down to bilateral talks earlier that day.

As head of state, the king is above party politics and remains neutral. Trump’s comments are likely to cause some embarrassment to royal aides that the king’s views – or, at least, what Trump claims his views to be – have been made public.

The US president said in his speech at the white-tie event on Tuesday evening: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. » | Guardian staff and agencies | Wednesday, April 29, 2026

King Charles Stresses Cooperation in Speech to Congress

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The British monarch’s trip is intended in part to repair strained U.S.-British ties. President Trump will host him and Queen Camilla for a state dinner at the White House.

King Charles III on Tuesday delivered an optimistic assessment of American-British relations at what is arguably their lowest point in decades, telling a joint meeting of Congress that the two countries had always found a way to come together.

“The very principle on which your Congress was founded — no taxation without representation — was at once a fundamental disagreement between us, and at the same time a shared democratic value which you inherited from us,” the king said. “Ours is a partnership born out of dispute.”

Charles did not directly refer to the current tensions between Prime Minister Keir Starmer and President Trump over the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. Mr. Trump has repeatedly belittled Mr. Starmer as a coward and mocked British aircraft carriers as nothing more than “toys” compared to America’s military armada.

But the king offered a genteel response of sorts. He noted his own service in the Royal Navy more than a half-century ago and repeated Mr. Starmer’s assertion that Britain had “committed to the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the Cold War.”

He also pushed back, ever so gently, against Mr. Trump’s angry attacks on Britain and on the NATO alliance for not joining in the Iran war. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the king told lawmakers, “We answered the call together — as our people have done so for more than a century.”

“Our defense, intelligence and security ties are hard-wired together through relationships measured not in years, but in decades,” he said.

The king’s message to Congress is intended to advance his government’s priorities without ensnaring himself in the ongoing disputes between Mr. Trump and Mr. Starmer. Live Updates » | Michael D.

THE TELEGRAPH: Donald Trump joked that his mother had a crush on the King when he was a young Prince of Wales during a welcome ceremony at the White House on Tuesday.

The US president said his mother, Mary, who was Scottish, imbued in him a love for the Royal family and Elizabeth II.

He said: “Any time the Queen was involved in a ceremony...my mother would be glued to the television.

“And she’d say, ‘look Donald, look how beautiful that is’. She really did love the family. I also remember her saying very clearly...‘Charles look, young Charles, he’s so cute’.

Mr Trump then turned to the King and mouthed “my mother”, before adding: “My mother had a crush on Charles. Can you believe it?” » | Kieran Kelly Foreign Breaking News Reporter.
