The geo-strategic space is no less certain nowadays.
In her case, it was the season of “Cold War ‘’ and “Détente” defined by tension and strained nerves between the superpowers.
The king assumes reign at a time that is also very much akin to when his mother found herself in the same role. health, sanitation, fight against hunger and poverty as well as preferential entry access in terms of visas for qualified persons could be given more assent, certainly these will ignite in a more profound manner, renewed spirit of common destiny. So beyond sports, cultural exchanges and high-level political interactions, other areas that pertain to social welfare, i.e. At a time of great demand for common global citizenry, there will be the need to put a human face to the Commonwealth by making its constituent populations, some of whom are amongst the world’s poorest, have more beneficial lure.
Similarly, amongst other members of the Union, that is Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, the political movement and notions advocating for sovereign states continue to assume a skyward drift. Domestically, he will have to evolve the right stratagems for containing a small but rising wing of the anti-monarchy movement, all of which were sufficiently visible during the coronation extravaganza. It is therefore more likely that this new king who is an undisputed primus inter pares amongst world leaders will bare his fangs in various thematic issues more decidedly than his predecessors. Though his powers are largely honorific, there is no doubt that his influence on both domestic and world affairs is enormous. Perhaps foreseeing his great responsibilities ahead, he had said as part of the ceremonials the words, which by the way never existed in the past, “I come not to be served, but to serve.’’

Thus, symbolising his full imbuement with all human power, allowed by the laws of his country. On coronation day, the visuals of temporal power such as the orb, the sceptre and the 360-year old St Edward’s Crown, all of which were taken away at the last minute before his mother was interred were returned back to King Charles. This is more especially, as his mother enjoyed tremendous respect and weight on virtually every area of human experience and reality during her long reign. That is, what does this royal ascension hold for Great Britain, which by all sums is still a great world power, and for the wider human community. The question on the minds of diplomats and global watchers, therefore, is what lies beyond the rather idealistic ceremonials and pomp. But during the 70 years reign of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, that great political entity splintered into at least 56 independent nations now held tenuously together by a loose contrivance of sorts known as ‘The Commonwealth of Nations.’ So today, King Charles is crowned over a lonesome United Kingdom, safe for few voluntary dependencies which still owe direct fealty to the crown atop his head. The last time when a king, being his grandfather, King George VI, was crowned in the same venue was in 1936 and the realm was an empire, perhaps the largest political dominion in the world of that day. Accompanied by perhaps one of the most colourful military parades ever seen in modern history, the new British sovereign mounted the 700 years old throne grotesquely seating atop a not too Christianly “stone of destiny.” Although, Nigeria’s President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) was among 2200 royals and world leaders invited to join the show-off of pageantry and opulence at the medieval era church, which interestingly is also a graveyard of some of humanity’s most impactful persons, for the first time, millions of people around the world watched the ancient religious ceremonials. Reminiscent of the time of his forebear, William the Conqueror in 1066 till modern era, Great Britain’s monarch, King Charles III, was crowned in the same Westminster Abbey in Central London on Saturday, April 6, 2023.
