What we see here coming from the monarchy is not a meaningful gesture of alliance. That’s what I’m bitter about.
They aren’t allowed to make any meaningful gesture of alliance, that was my entire point. There have literally been wars fought specifically to take these responsibilities away from them. The ball is in the parliaments court now.
What does the word ‘Commonwealth’ even mean if the British monarchy can’t say that and mean it.
A loose collection of anglophone colonies and their motherland. Its importance declined along with the power of the British monarchy. Which didn’t really bother anyone so far because there were things like the five eyes and NATO to fill the gap.
