IN AN extraordinarily considered speech, Gavin Ashenden, formerly chaplain to the late Queen Elizabeth and more recently a convert to Catholicism, has set out what King Charles could and indeed should have communicated in his Christmas Day message to his subjects.
As Gavin says in his accompanying substack article, it should come as no surprise to anyone who reads him regularly that he was not impressed by the content of the King’s speech. But what he does in this analysis is more than an attack. Rather it is a considered, analytically based condemnation of the deep flaws in King Charles’s thinking that he clearly wishes the King would engage with rather than listening to his woke advisers. He dissects the fundamental confusion of the King’s multicultural ‘faith’, he breaks down his misrepresentation of Christianity and finally he castigates him for his betrayal of the Christian values and foundations on which the monarchy rests and would not exist without.
Through his would-be ‘niceness’, the King in effect is writing his own suicide note.
Critically, Ashenden homes in on the crucial issues that threaten this country, that have put the country closer to civil war than it has been for centuries, on which Charles was silent. What he did not say, what he did not even mention, that as a monarch it was surely his duty to warn of – the threat to free speech, unchecked immigration, Islamism, two-tier welfare and justice. It was as though he was entirely unaware of the dominant concerns of his people.
Ashenden is at his masterly best with this stark warning to the ‘King of Nice’ about his betrayal of the people, and about the missed opportunity to hold the government morally to account over the ‘unstoppable’ migration that is tearing this country (Charles’s country) apart.
