You expected him to be making political statements as the monarch?

The only reason the monarchy still exists is because the head of it remains apolitical.

I guess I had some inchoate expectation that he'd be more influential. Sunak's just turned him into a hypocrite.

I generally don't want some bloke who is only there through accident of birth to have any influence on policy.

Who voted for him to have influence?

I'd support constitutional reform.

And that's the least bad thing Sunak has done this week!
