Hitchens noted that while the monarchy reigns without ruling, a king can influence the political atmosphere. In 2025, King Charles delivered a Speech from the Throne in Canada, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aussie-womens-soccer-team-goes-undefeated-with-5-biological-male-players\/\" title=\"The Australian women&#039;s soccer team remains unbeaten, featuring 5 transgender players\">addressing challenges faced<\/a> by the nation and indirectly responding to former President Donald Trump&#8217;s comments about Canada becoming the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-tom-carper-announces-bill-to-give-d-c-statehood\/\" title=\"Sen.

Critics, however, suggest that the king&#8217;s remarks lacked ample gravity considering past events. The article highlights the evolving relationship between Canada and the Crown, notably as it contrasts with Canada&#8217;s relationship with the United States. it portrays King Charles III as a figure trying to assert the significance of the monarchy in today&#8217;s world, while still facing the skepticism that characterized Hitchens&#8217; original critique.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a Slate piece about the British royal family, Anglo-American polemicist Christopher Hitchens reminded the world that &ldquo;[a]t a point in the not-too-remote future, the stout heart of Queen Elizabeth II will cease to beat,&rdquo; at which point the throne would pass to a man he summed up thusly: &ldquo;a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/king-charles-head-of-church-of-england-proclaims-vile-unbibilical-message-in-easter-address-to-christians\/\" title=\"... ..., Head of Church of England, Proclaims Vile, Unbibilical Message in Easter Address to Christians\">morose bat-eared<\/a> and chinless man, prematurely aged, and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Tell us how you really feel. Perhaps not surprisingly, due to the fact that he lived on a diet of erudite rage, scotch, and cigarettes, Queen Elizabeth II outlived Hitchens by a fairly wide margin &mdash; although his description of the future King Charles III in that 2010 <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2010\/06\/prince-charles-sinister-speech-attacks-science-and-good-sense.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a> has survived and been bandied about a bit in the decade-and-a-half since.<\/p>\n<p>While many fans of &ldquo;The Hitch&rdquo; will quote that line (along with the too-perfect title of the essay, &ldquo;Charles, Prince of Piffle&rdquo;), few will take note of&nbsp;<em>why<\/em> the oracle of invective had turned his ire on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/vandals-put-massive-crude-image-royal-lawn-just-days-king-charles-coronation-reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">then-Prince of Wales<\/a>, which was in the same paragraph: &ldquo;In strict constitutional terms, this ought not to matter much.

Unsurprisingly, given his lifestyle of intellectual fury combined with scotch and cigarettes, Queen Elizabeth II outlived Hitchens by a significant margin. However, his portrayal of future King Charles III from that 2010 piece has persisted over the years. While many admirers of &#8220;The Hitch&#8221; often quote this line (alongside the fitting title &#8220;Charles, Prince of Piffle&#8221;), few consider why he directed his criticism at then-Prince Charles in that same paragraph: &#8220;In strict constitutional terms, this shouldn&#8217;t matter much. The English monarchy reigns but does not rule&#8230; [but] a king can influence public sentiment and shape discussions on important issues.&#8221; In 2025, now King Charles III is expressing to President Donald Trump certain aspects of his foreign policy-largely imagined-that he finds displeasing as well. Despite still being somewhat trivialized (&#8220;piffle-filled&#8221;), he chose to convey this during an unusual &#8220;Speech from the Throne&#8221; to Canada&#8217;s Parliament on Tuesday-though it was reportedly written by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney&#8217;s office according to CBS News. This rare event broadly outlined the new government&#8217;s agenda while acknowledging global political and economic dynamics affecting Canada-dynamics you can probably guess.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today marks another pivotal moment for Canada,&#8221; said King Charles III during his speech. &#8220;Democracy, pluralism, rule of law, self-determination and freedom are values cherished by Canadians and ones which our government is committed to safeguarding.&#8221; He also addressed concerns about changing global trade dynamics and emphasized Canada&#8217;s need for renewal amid unprecedented challenges facing its citizens today.<\/p>\n<p>Later in his address: &#8220;The Government will safeguard Canada&#8217;s sovereignty through rebuilding its military forces while enhancing partnerships with European allies.&#8221; This statement raises questions about potential threats within Canada itself.<\/p>\n<p>According to Axios prior to the speech delivery, Carney&#8217;s office indicated that Charles&#8217; appearance would highlight historical ties between Canada and England compared to its relationship with neighboring America-a response prompted by Trump&#8217;s rhetoric regarding U.S.-Canada relations.<\/p>\n<p>Carney stated: &#8220;The Royal Visit symbolizes our enduring bond with the Crown shaped over generations,&#8221; which essentially translates into acknowledging how recent political shifts have influenced Canadian sentiments towards their leadership without addressing deeper issues behind past unpopularity or Trudeau&#8217;s removal from power.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately it seems like an attempt at gravitas amidst what many might view as mere pompousness-a notion Hitchens aptly predicted years ago when noting how kings can sway public discourse even if they exude triviality<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2439876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/charlie.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3957,35163,56059],"class_list":["post-2439875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-canada","tag-king-charles","tag-rare-gesture"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/charlie.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2439875"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439875\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2439879,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2439875\/revisions\/2439879"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2439876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2439875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2439875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2439875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
