Charles the first had his head chopped off, parliamentarians grabbed a lot more power. The monarchy was reinstalled but they kind of said "know your place" Now we've got Charles III and he does face a lot of very big challenges. He will find it quite difficult if Scotland decides it wants to have a referendum for independence.
Talking to my parents about events in the UK following the death of The Queen on 9 September, including the media coverage, the proclamation of King Charles III, comments about Charles as King and a discussion of the role of the monarch in the UK’s constitution. Also includes some comments about the new Prime Minister Liz Truss and the future of the UK government over the next 18 months.
