As we welcome our new King does anyone feel there is an issue in that for most of our lives we will not recognise a new Queen?

In my life I have felt the Queen offered the country and world a woman as one of the most memorable heads of state. We now are looking at least three successive Kings and memory of a female head of state becoming increasingly remote history.

How should the Royal Family face this prospect without looking patriarchal with successive Queen's subjugated their husband Kings?

Maybe, maybe not. Charles might decide to change sex and become Queen Charlotte and neutralise all the toilets across the kingdom.

Mary Beard spoke about how sad she felt that we have seen our last queen for a long time, today on R4 at 12.45. It was very interesting.
I really wanted George to be a girl, but it wasn’t to be.

You're not subjugated, you are a citizen.

We could get rid of the monarchy. Then nobody is subjugated to anyone else. It's an outmoded concept, well past its sell by data.

Queens aren't subjugated to their Husband Kings?

Or have I misunderstood?

Subjugated? you do know we're in the 21st century, don't you?
