If you want to play a recording of the UK's revamped national anthem then you will probably have to rely on an unlikely source: a French opera singer.

Kientz, who has travelled across the UK, said he did not expect his recording of God Save the King to provide much of an income: “I really love this anthem because it’s very vocal, you have many things to do. Kientz’s recording of God Save the King had been largely ignored, but it has recently been played hundreds of thousands of times as people look for a version with the correct words.

London — The reign of Great Britain's new monarch, King Charles III, began immediately when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died on September 8.

A life of public service is forcing the newly anointed monarch to end of a lifetime of private activism. That may be easier said than done.

That’s in part because the monarch is “regarded as a British institution, and it isn’t regarded as a Scottish institution anymore,” he added. For instance, his near-annual trips to Ireland seem calculated to build on the queen’s watershed visit in 2011, which marked a high point in the long and violent history of British-Irish relations. “Nobody knows what utter hell it is to be Prince of Wales,” he reportedly said in 2004.

He has stood in support of fox hunting and in opposition to “ugly” modern architecture, but he has also championed organic farming and advocated for action on climate change well before the subject was embraced by the mainstream. “My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities,” he said, a little more than 24 hours after his mother died at Balmoral Castle, bringing to an end the reign of the only monarch most Britons can remember. While he can rightly consider himself vindicated now that the zeitgeist has caught up with him, Charles still hasn’t been able to escape the occasional bout of ridicule. The entire speech was designed to reassure a country in mourning for Queen Elizabeth II that her successor would not depart from the style of steady, even-handed leadership she had embodied.

More than that, the course of his life to date has traced the course of the modern media age. His disappointed loves, his mistakes and missteps, his bursts of petulance, his impassioned ideas about the built environment, farming and homeopathy: all have – sometimes through his own fault, sometimes not – been consumed as a form of public entertainment. Whether he likes it or not – and I suspect that he doesn’t like it one bit – His Majesty comes to the throne not only in a more emotionally unbuttoned age, but as a monarch whose emotions have been part of the public conversation. Charles has spent the whole span of a human life in history’s waiting room leafing through back-issues of Punch – and now his appointment is called at the time of his greatest personal grief. He spoke of his ‘darling Mama’ and ‘dear late Papa’, of love for Harry and Meghan, love for his people and for tradition, and the loving support of his ‘darling wife’. Charles III’s first address to the nation as King began by speaking of sorrow – and went on to speak of love.

The name "Charles" for a monarch has a colorful royal history, fraught with beheadings, civil wars, years spent in exile and illegitimate children.

Following Cromwell's death, Charles II became King of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1660, restoring the monarchy. “Princess Elizabeth made clear, it was simply because she liked the name." Charles II may be remembered as a playboy, but his story has its darker sides.

The Prince of Wales's star turn at Harvard's 350th anniversary gala, in 1986.

It was a hunger that was to provide a sense of meaning and the life of meaning that conducted him in the search for truth in all dimensions—material, physical, and spiritual. There is in existence a proved and tested natural science dedicated to the study of the soul of man and the meaning of his creation. What I am trying to say is that if during the course of a person’s education he is introduced to the principles of a religious attitude to life, as the Greek philosophers and Hebrew teachers would have seen it, then it is perhaps possible to learn to equate human rights with human obligations. “While we have been right to demand the kind of technical education relevant to the needs of the twentieth century,” he observed, “it would appear that we may have forgotten that when all is said and done, a good man, as the Greeks would say, is a nobler work than a good technologist. It is possible then to see a relationship between moral values and the uses of science, and for those who affect our lives in some way or other through planning and administrative committees to appreciate that at the end of the process there is always a man or a woman, or a family. There is no doubt in my mind that the education of the whole man needs to be based on a sure foundation—in other words, on the values of our own Christian, Western traditions, which in turn are the product of Hellenism and Judaism. “I cannot help feeling that one of the problems gradually dawning on the Western, Christian world is that we have for too long, and too dangerously, ignored and rejected the best and most fundamental traditions of our Greek, Roman, and Jewish inheritance. “I confess that I have not addressed such a large gathering since I spoke to 40,000 Gujarati buffalo farmers in India in 1980, and that was a rare experience.” While we have been right to demand the kind of technical education relevant to the needs of the twentieth century, it would appear that we may have forgotten that when all is said and done, a good man, as the Greeks would say, is a nobler work than a good technologist. Back in 1978 we consulted a classicist—Mason Hammond ’25, caller of academic processions at both the 1936 and 1986 observances—as to how to refer in Latin to a 350th anniversary. As His Royal Highness was waiting to enter Tercentenary Theatre that morning, he had, reportedly, a pronounced case of the jitters.

This was epitomised in her humorous contributions, in her Diamond and Platinum Jubilee years, when she appeared before the world apparently parachuting in to the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics. More publicly controversial was the decision to televise her coronation in 1953. The change was introduced, and few of those visiting the palace, whether politicians or foreign ambassadors, noticed the disappearance of these uncomfortable and expensive accoutrements, as the lavish uniforms remained. Behind the scenes the introduction of new versions of traditions was not always welcomed, but she persisted. She learned to Zoom during lockdown, and to use social media, so she was not, and did not appear, out of touch. For the first time, the whole event was televised, opening it to the public gaze.

The Christian Anglican Church is the established Church of England, meaning that there is a formal relationship between church and state in which it operates.

Discrimination has increased recently in the form of anti-Semitism towards those of the Jewish faith and Islamophobia towards those of the Islamic faith. Likewise, in recent decades, psychiatry in the United States has also paid increased attention to the influence of spirituality and formal religions. The Christian Anglican Church is the established Church of England, meaning that there is a formal relationship between church and state in which it operates. In England, as perhaps some of us are learning from the Queen’s death, there is no separation of church and state as there is in the United States. He serves on the Editorial Board of Psychiatric Times™. In his recent inaugural address, he seemed to sound the theme of spiritual inclusion in his new role:

Queen Elizabeth created an enormous space for her son to exert influence around the world, whether Charles is able to exercise restraint only time will tell.

Whether Charles is able to exercise restraint and bite his lip through the inevitable tedium of international affairs and diplomacy in order to exploit this enormous opportunity, only time will tell. By promoting British culture as well as its heritage, Charles can boost Britain’s image as well as his own standing, and steal a march on the Government. As a woman who enjoyed extraordinary – and perhaps unique – celebrity and respect around the world, Queen Elizabeth paved the way for women everywhere to assume roles of leadership and high status. The UK has provided a widespread contribution to sport, music, literature, art and science around the world, more so than its GDP figures or its minor influence on world security. “It will no longer be possible for me to give so much of my time and energies to the charities and issues for which I care so deeply.” He went on to have a more direct impact on events in the Middle East, though. Our defence relationship with the US is very important to us. Foreign policy is a very unemotional business; it’s about getting on with things and being pragmatic, so how Charles conducts himself now is the important thing.” Given that the King has previously made clear his thoughts on many aspects of foreign affairs, critics will be on the lookout for indiscretions. Charles is said to have been unaware of Fawcett’s activities. The Queen had that uncanny ability of never appearing bored and always being attentive. For Charles III, his sternest test may come on the world stage.
