So , whilst most of us seem to agree about the benefits of the extra Bank Holiday ( and Penny Maudant ) , if you can read and accept the " wiki " link and not fall about laughing at some fictional bloodline

If you can accept the oaths that Charley III actually took......
THE OATHS
The Moderator receives the Bible and places it before The King. The King stands and the Archbishop says
YOUR Majesty, the Church established by law, whose settlement you will swear to maintain, is committed to the true profession of the Gospel, and, in so doing, will seek to foster an environment in which people of all faiths and beliefs may live freely. The Coronation Oath has stood for centuries and is enshrined in law.
Are you willing to take the Oath?
The King replies
I am willing.
The King places his hand on the Bible, and the Archbishop administers the Oath
WILL you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, your other Realms and the Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?
The King replies
I solemnly promise so to do. The Archbishop says Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?
The King replies
I will.
The King kneels at the Chair of Estate. The Archbishop says
WILL you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England?
And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?
The King replies
All this I promise to do.
The King places his hand on the Bible and says
The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God.
The King kisses the Bible. The Archbishop says
YOUR Majesty, are you willing to make, subscribe, and declare to the statutory Accession Declaration Oath?
The King replies
I am willing.
I CHARLES do solemnly and sincerely in the presence of God profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful Protestant, and that I will, according to the true intent of the enactments which secure the Protestant succession to the Throne, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers according to law.
........and actually believe that they are for the good of all UK Citizens ( and not for the perverse self perpetuating establishment of the C of E ) then you are a Monarchist of the first Order .
I am NOT having a go at " Christianity " but the " Church " seems to have moved a long way from the simple preaching of a humble Jewish " Prophet "
Over the past few days we have heard rumblings from our Caribbean friends about calling time on this nonsense and we seen peaceful protest abolished at the whim of the police . I see no reason why the monarchy shouldn't be completely abolished , and not replaced with anything . ( Needless to say we need a complete revision of the " Upper House " . The elected leader of that body could assume any " Presidential " duties required ? )
