Riots - should King Charles make a statement?

[StSwithinsDay]

I am not from the UK so I am not sure of the protocol in situations like the ongoing riots. I know that he and Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales issued statements following the murder of the three little girls in Southport.
Is it outside their remit to make similar statements about the riots? Would it be considered political interference?
Editing to add that I am sure the rioters won't give a flying fuck about him or what he says but can he show support for those whose livlihoods have been destroyed or who are in hotels that are being set on fire/

I think it would go down like a bucket of cold sick op

Not comparable.

I don't think the King would be the best choice, many northerners grew up disliking the Royals, especially Charles.
The best placed Royal to make a speech would be William or Anne.

No the monarchy dont get involved in trivial shit like this.

If anything it would make it worse. I very much believe that (along with ignorance, blatant racism, and just general idiocy) poverty is driving factor in the riots. Hartlepool for example, is one of the most deprived towns in the uk. An obscenely wealthy man telling the to stop it is if anything, just going to rile them up.

You seem to be a bit lacking in comprehension, it what way is statng the fact that riots are happening in a relatively small number of places equivalent to migrants not being important?

What a ridiculous interpretation

So they are better placed presenting prizes at Wimbledon and opening hospitals?
Ok so.

Can he not express support for those at the receiving end? Or would that be too political?

The monarchy cannot interfere in anything political (or let their feelings be known) and rioting falls under that. Anything political is for parliament and its elected members to deal with.

Anyone who is a president (or prime minister) has been elected as a political leader so they can make political statements.

You seem to be a bit lacking in comprehension,
I am not remotely lacking in comprehension - except to wonder why the Head of State or his heir can't comment.

Thank you. That explains it.

To the scumbag rioter types King Charles will already be written off as a well-meaning, ineffectual parish vicar type, talking to his plants and fuelling his car with white wine. He'd be seen as part of the problem.

If you were going to pick royals to deal with rioters you'd go for Camilla, Anne and Fergie. Camilla'd be lighting vats of boiling oil on the ramparts of Windsor with her Silk Cut.

You arent from this country so have a google of what a Constitutional Monarchy is and educate yourself rather than sniping at how we do things round here.

Are you reading the replies you've already had to this question?

I imagine they'll say something or not on the advice of the government. I doubt they'll wade in randomly. If Starmer thinks it will be useful then we'll get something.

We probably will at some point just not right now, more likely in the aftermath when things have cooled down a bit.

Last thing needed is some anti monarchy feeling added to the mix because nothing Charles or William can say will please any of the rioters.

I am Irish. I am painfully aware of how you do things 'round here'.

I don’t think it’s about being political as such, but tone deaf. He could an absolutely say ‘I’m sorry your streets are being destroyed’. But he could also pay to fix it. He won’t, so anything he says is lip service.

Curious as to why. Ethnic businesses and places of worship are being targeted. Policing authorities are being tested. Where is the line?

Lots of premises have been attacked in the riots, not just those of one religious group.

It’s really the bare fucking minimum to expect ANYONE in ANY position of authority to be out there publicly condemning RACIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC RIOTS in the streets of the UK.

Be that the King, the PM, every single one of our MPs and party leaders, our employers, the local police forces, local government, you name it. They should be saying it as publicly and upfront as possible.

This is really not a ‘two sides to every story’ or ‘not wanting to get involved in political issues’ type of situation. There’s absolutely nothing democratic about these riots.

Stop calling them ‘protests’. For days now there has been dangerous and offensive rioting on the streets of many towns and cities the UK. It’s also the police being attacked at work. Whole communities being targeted and threatened. It’s disgusting.

Nope, he's so irrelevant I can't think of much he'd say that would warrant a statement

No.

And yet you think that a president is equivalent to a monarch

Yes. Both are head of state.

Thankfully I live in a Republic where we can elect our head of state but I respect the fact that others don't.
But that is a whole other conversation that is not relevant to this one.
