Bermuda has held its Proclamation Ceremony to mark the Accession of His Majesty King Charles Ill. The ceremony was presided over by Her Excellency the Governor, Rena Lalgie.
Classy and well done. A stable government that ensure no single person gains too much power, constitutional monarchy is the best system for the people it serves.
As one who has the privilege of living in a constitutional monarchy (The Kingdom of the Netherlands, within the European Union) I understand the beauty of this unique system of government. As in an era of increasingly political partisanship and division it is a gift to know that the Crown wil always endure as a symbol of national unity (or in the case of the Commonwealth of Realms, multi-national unity). Only we, who have the luck to live within a constitutional monarchy, understand the preciousness of the Crown. As it is a link to the past and a bridge towards the future. To be able to (through the magic of modern technology) bear witness to a diverse collection of nations within Commonwealth Realms proclaim Charles III their Sovereign is an absolute joy and privilege. I know there are many Republican movements around the Commonwealth, and yes the History of Empire has some dark pages, but the Crown under Queen Elizabeth II has transformed this legacy of Empire into a force for good, as in the modern age it has become an institution for dialogue and collaboration between nations (who share a common history). Every civilization has periods in their history that they now with knowledge of hindsight would airbrush away with a profound feeling of shame. But let's not forget that without the situations of history the current age would not exist. Equally important is the understanding that no one a live today bears any personal responsibility for those dark pages (that doesn't mean we dont have to aknowledge it, or shouldn't try to remedy it's prevaling negative influence around the world. We should, obviously!) Anyhow, I would advise those nations who still carry the Sovereign as head of state, not to cast away the Crown lightly, as it is easily abolished, but (almost) impossible to restore. You just might not realize what you're about to lose, before you've lost it in ernest. God save the King!
When I heard the news that Barbados was becoming a Republic, when I see the high crime rate, when I see the increased number of people who have dreadlocks, I asked myself WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED to Little England and Pride and Industry!!!????
@@mizzyroro dreadlocks? wtf does dreadlocks have to do with anything? maybe they left because of racist comments like that. you must be an old colonizer in your 80s or 90s to make such a vile comment.
Amazing how the meer existence of the crown in a countries system elevates the level of class and decorum that nations citizens carry and present themselves. Far more class than the Caribbean nations which have since become republics.
@@jimmyhillschin9987 citizens of Bermuda and subjects of the crown. The Brits have defined both, as the crown has many loyal subjects from a multitude of realms. However subjecthood does not endow one with rights to travel to another nation under the crown without due process. Each of the crowns domains is sovereign. In short mate they get to have their cake and eat it too.
@@Tourist1967 did I say overseas territories. No I said crown domains. Australia for instance is a dominion of the crown but is not a British overseas territory, it is sovereign in its own right. Hence why British have a citizenship and Australians have citizenship and despite being subjects of the same crown they are not interchangeable.
Dieu sauve notre Roi Notre gracieuse roi! Vive le roi! Long et victorieux, Heureux et glorieux Longtemps régner sur nous Vive le roi! Me tohu e te Atua To matou Kingi Pai Kia ora ia. Meinga kia maia ia Kia Hari nui Kia Koa Kia Kingi Tonu ia Tau Tini noa.
Cant keep my eyes off H.E the Governor General's Shola hat. We used to wear it here till the 1970s. Although, few mounted units contue to wear it as part of their ceremonial regalia to this day. Without the feathers though !!.
@@Laughandsong mumbling "god save the king", and cutting out a lot of the speech (probably because of the Christian references) is dignified and respectful to you?

Yes, it is necessary to make proclamation of our King Charles III in all countries where he succeeds his mother, the late gracious Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. It is historic: we last witness these ceremonies 70 years ago.
