"Not my king"

We live in a world that condemns dictators, but loves kings, can the world continue to justify the existence of monarchies or it could be said that what was seen two days ago is the pure reflection of social inequality and classism or a tradition culture that the world should preserve, we need Kings in the middle of the 21st century.

In the midst of controversies, protests, shouts and banners, Charles the Third will be the last British King in a tradition of more than 1,200 years that could turn the United Kingdom into a disunited kingdom.

The world has witnessed the coronation of King Carlos III, an event that has generated controversy and protests with people who have exclaimed at the same time "he is not my king", this coronation of Carlos III has caused so much controversy that it has been an event Filled with much attention, many British citizens and international viewers today questioned whether the UK really needed to continue having Kings and criticized the lack of impartiality in media coverage by outlets such as the BBC.

And they were accused of showing very careful coverage in favor of the monarchy, in their reports avoiding covering any hint of the protests, or of the disagreements that many citizens expressed against the King Carlos III time, the protesters demanded a change in the form of government and criticized the ostentation and expense associated with the ceremony.

These protests evidenced the growing discontent in the country and revealed the deep division between those who support the monarchy and those who advocate a Republic, the enormous division of the disunited kingdom of the so-called United Kingdom, on the one hand the protesters argued that the The coronation of Carlos III is a sign of deep social inequality and economic waste at a time when his country and the entire world are facing very strong economic and social difficulties.

The protests have also generated a debate about the role of the monarchy in today's society and whether this institution is still really necessary for a country that wants progress and that is because the coronation of Carlos III and his wife Camila has generated endless controversies and discussions, from the previous relationship between Charles and Camilla, while he was married to the late Princess Diana, to allegations of racial discrimination within the British royal family, these tensions have cast doubts on the future of the UK monarchy.

This rejection further accentuated the doubts about whether or not we should continue to have Kings all over the world, not only in British society, in many parts of the world that also maintain relations with the monarchy, even that happens in Canada.

The first lines of the oath to be a Canadian citizen basically read “I swear to be faithful and have true loyalty to His Majesty King Charles III, King of Canada, his heirs and Successors and that I will faithfully comply with the laws of Canada and fulfill my duties as a Citizen Canadian".

For many of us who come from republican countries, it may be difficult to understand what exactly is the role of kings in a globalized world, but this doubt has also begun to proliferate among countries with monarchies that basically contrast with democratic figures, because the royal lineage it is based on inheritance, as if it were property, Monarchs inherit their titles and powers by birth, instead of being elected by the people and this reality contradicts the democratic principle of equality and the idea that all citizens should have the same opportunities to participate in political decision-making.

Although the role of monarchies in our countries has currently been reduced to that of symbolic or diplomatic figures, while many of the movements that came out to protest against the coronation of King Carlos III maintain that monarchies can perpetuate social inequality and also inequality economic, because they promote a hierarchy of classes and privileges that is based on the nobility and aristocracy.

The opulence of royal ceremonies and the ostentatious lifestyle of royalty can today be seen as symbols of inequality in a world where millions of people live in extreme poverty and economic hardship.
