Anti-Monarchists Tread Lightly After Queen's Death, but Their Goal Persists
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/anti-monarchists-tread-lightly-queens-122027882.html
âWe will be campaigning pretty hard from not long after the funeral through to the coronation,â said Smith, the head of Republic. The queen, he said, was a âheat-shield that deflected a lot of criticism, and you just donât get that with Charles.â
âItâs going to be a very much easier campaign to run,â Smith added.
While the queen was generally seen as a paragon of personal virtue, Charlesâ judgment and propriety has been the subject of perpetual scrutiny from his time as a young prince even up until a few months ago.
Among other controversies, the police announced an investigation in February into allegations that one of Charlesâ charities offered to help secure a knighthood and citizenship for a Saudi businessman, in exchange for a large donation. Charlesâ spokesman said the royal had been unaware of any deal, and a top aide stepped down under pressure over the transaction.
Charles is also remembered for his fractious divorce during the 1990s from his first wife, Diana, in which the news media often presented him as cold and distant. The public has largely moved on, as has Charles with his second marriage to Camilla, now the queen consort, but the impression that the split created has not entirely dissipated.
Republicanism is also rising among a younger generation of Britons. An estimated 41% of Britons 18 to 25 said they wanted an elected head of state, according to polling from 2021 â 15 percentage points higher than in 2019.
Demand for a republic has remained fairly static for decades â the most recent polling suggested nearly 70% of Britons support a monarchy, about the same as in the early 1990s.
But some commentators and historians believe that public backing for the monarchy is based less on a strong belief in the institution than on affection for the queen herself â giving republicans a glimmer of hope that they can swing opinion their way.
Much of the current grief for the queen âis a reflection of her particular contribution to the nation and longevity of her reign,â said Edgerton, the historian. âItâs not a reaffirmation of the essence of the hereditary principle or an aristocratic principle â or even, actually, the notion of a constitutional monarchy.â
Part of the queenâs appeal was in the opacity of her beliefs, said Laura Clancy, who researches the public image of the royal family at the University of Lancaster.
The queen revealed little about her personal opinions, creating an aura of mystery about her core beliefs, allowing others to project onto her whatever views they hoped she might hold. Before and after Britainâs exit from the European Union, the inscrutability of the queenâs own position allowed both supporters and critics of Brexit to claim her as their own.
âYou couldnât possibly do that with Charles,â Clancy said. âBecause we know what he thinks about lots of things.â

Young people in Britain no longer think the country should keep the monarchy and more now want an elected head of state, with their mood souring over the last couple of years, a poll on Friday showed.

A memorial service for the Queen was held by the Jewish Community.
Attended by dignitaries and religious leaders, it ended with a local Hebrew version of God Save the King, which is over a century old.
The Jewish Community wanted to celebrate the Queen's many years of selfless service and dedication and the Shaar Hashamayim synagogue was the perfect venue for an evocative service, brimming with tradition.
The order of service was compiled from extractions of previous ones held for King Edward VII in 1910, King George V in 1936 and King George the VI in 1952.
The President of the Jewish Community said this demonstrates how long the Community has been on the Rock under the protection of the British Crown. James Levi said authority should always come with servitude adding the Queen's love for her people had been highlighted frequently by many.
Since their arrival in the early 1700's, Jews in Gibraltar have always seen themselves as British and during the weekly Shabbat services, recite a prayer for the welfare of the Monarch and the Royal family. Rabbi Hassid spoke of this prayer, explaining that according to classical rabbinical literature, this tradition has been part of the institutional synagogue service since the 14th century.
The service included a memorial prayer for the Queen- the same one recited in the same synagogue in 1910 and concluded with the Jewish Community's own unique version of God Save the King composed for the coronation of King George V.
For the occasion, the ark enshrining the sacred Torah scrolls had been adorned in Red, White and Blue.

Queenâs death intensifies criticism of British empireâs violent atrocities
American commentators, academics and others are calling into reconsideration of monarchyâs lasting influences

The death of Queen Elizabeth II revived longstanding criticism in the US over the monarchyâs enrichment from the British empireâs violent colonization of African, Asian and Caribbean nations and their diasporas.
Since her death on Thursday, American commentators, academics, and a former US diplomat, among others, took to social media and elsewhere to call for fully wrestling with the British monarchyâs lasting influence in light of the monarchâs death.
Though millions across the world mourned, many also saw the Queenâs passing as a bitter reminder of the British empireâs violent exploitation of countries throughout history â resulting in decades of suffering, death, and economic and social devastation â and a time to renew calls for reparations.
Harvard University history professor Maya Jasanoff wrote in the New York Times that the Queenâs stoic presence in life as a âfixture of stabilityâ underlied a âstolid traditionalist front over decades of violent upheavalâ.
She pointed out that months after Elizabeth II learned of her fatherâs death from treetops in Kenya and became queen, British colonial authorities in Kenya suppressed a rebellion against the colonial regime known as Mau Mau, which, according to the New York Times, âled to the establishment of a vast system of detention camps and the torture, rape, castration and killing of tens of thousands of peopleâ. The British government eventually paid ÂŁ20m in a lawsuit by Kenyan survivors.
Cornell University professor Mukoma Wa Ngugi decried the âtheaterâ surrounding the Queenâs death.
Carnegie Mellon University associate professor Uju Anya posted a since-deleted tweet saying âmay her pain be excruciatingâ of the Queen, whom she described as âthe chief monarch of a thieving and raping genocidal empireâ. Twitter deleted Anyaâs initial post for violating the companyâs rules, and the university condemned the action in a statement.
