It's silly, anachronistic, & wasteful.
But hey, it keeps the Brits & its subservient countries (eg, Australia, Canucksitan) happy.

The Many enter the Wide Gate of Destruction and Queen Elizabeth II did Work for Elohim's/God's Earthly Kingdom. By doing the work that you described the Queen exercised the Temporal Powers that Elohim/God gave.I don't want to comment on this other subject. What Queen Elizabeth II does for her country and the commonwealth of nations, mostly, is help maintain diplomatic channels. She endlessly visits, receives, entertains, dresses up and chats and makes phone calls and takes part in marches. All of these things benefit her country diplomatically. I do not think she controls whether there is or is not evil or that she is truly in charge of the country. She has great teeth and puts them to diplomatic use.
I was answering your OP about Charles. He does have some opportunities to encourage morality, because he's in a public position. That's all.
I believe the 'Narrow gate' that Jesus refers to is a reference to humility. This makes the most sense of its location in Matthew chapter 7. Similarly, the foundation of rock referred to in that same chapter is referring to many things including non-judgement of others and humility. I do not think that a monarch of any kind is well suited to these as their position is itself a compromise with the ideal, however they can be humble and non-judgmental. I don't think, either, that a ceremonial monarch is a bad thing. Much worse to me are the personality problems that we face when people try to judge one another and cut each other off or act like we are superior. We are born smug, many of us. We can be smug and humiliated at the same time. Its amazing.
There is only One True Elohim/God Manifesting in different ways to different people. What are the old Gods that you believe in?No, I shan't be participating. I don't offer any fealty to any monarchy or a church, my Gods are the old gods than either one so, I'm good.
Psalm 51:5Individually, you may have a pious and devout leader of a nation. Charlemagne, despite being a warrior, showed sincere concern for salvation and reverence to God, and the same with Louis IX. But, yes, as far as the nation is concerned and it's constitution and laws, they remained predominantly a secularized political entity. Although, I believe that Charlemagne, or Elizabeth I may have been saved themselves.
No.Will you be participating in The Homage of the People?
That the fact that Britain still has a monarchy should be a mark of national embarrassment.What are your thoughts on this?
They number among those who predate Elohim.There is only One True Elohim/God Manifesting in different ways to different people. What are the old Gods that you believe in?
Definitely not. I will be doing my level best to ignore the whole, pointless, anachronistic pantomime. Total waste of taxpayers' money in the middle of a cost of living crisis.Will you be participating in The Homage of the People? What are your thoughts on this?
I know better.Not all of us...

Ephesians 4:6They number among those who predate Elohim.
My participation will be in solely watching the affair on TV. I'm against any monarchy on principle, and especially this one given that I live in the UK, and I think that the dissolution of the monarchy here would be better for the country overall. I see such things just as remnants of our bloody past more than much else. Hence I won't be swearing any oaths - at least not any appropriate ones. I was at Queen Elizabeth's coronation (aged 7), given we lived in London then and had no TV at the time so one coronation is enough.Any more takers for the questions asked in post #77: The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

My Perspective is from an Ultra Religious Extremist Perspective. What is your Perspective on The Homage of the People?
Despite waging war against the monarchy.Definitely.
Some of us. And it attracts tourists. I'm told Americans like all the pointless pageantry and royalist guff.
Indeed. Strange people in many ways.Despite waging war against the monarchy.

Saint-Just said that at a time when the word "reign" had a redically different meaning than it does today, and in a Constitutional Monarchy.I don't agree with Louis Antoine de Saint-Just on all (or most) things, but I do think he had a point when he said "no one can reign innocently."

I heard that too, just a moment ago.I know better.
Word has it that you've booked a flight to attend the coronation.
You've even rented a tux for the after-parties.
What are you thoughts on the Coronation?
Do you think King Charles III has Real Christian Spiritual and Temporal Powers?
Do you believe that King Charles III is a practising Christian?
Is the British Crown Christian and not necessarily the Monarch that sits on the Throne?
Given that British King is head of the Church of England, does this mean that the King must be a Christian?
