Govern???

What happened to apolitical figurehead ?

You are going round in circles @Serenster

And references to coronations reminds us just how medieval the whole pantomime is.
No other European monarchy would dare have a coronation .

I’ not sure why the actual wording of the coronation oath means I’m going around in circles? You can look it up. That’s exactly what it says.

The wording can be explained by the word spoken by the Archbishop of Canterbury just before Charles took the oath “The Coronation Oath has stood for centuries and is enshrined in law

What you are so exercised about (three question marks, no less) is semantics. The verb applyied to the function a monarch undertakes will be a choice between government or rule, mostly - that just established usage. As a constitutional monarch, the laws Charles is therefore undertaking to govern in accordance with are those very laws that set out his role as an apolitical figurehead. So there is no inconsistency.

It also reminds us there was never a need for one let alone the costly circus (the third such public expense in a year) C3 wanted and got.

Maybe for the greater good you could overcome your aversion to blood sports just this once.
Who would you shoot first? The adults or the children?

What a weird response. Minutewalz, You are the one who suggested shooting them, NOT the OP.
