Far away from pomp and ritual, Anywhere but Westminster's John Harris and John Domokos spend time in three places where the themes of the Elizabethan age played out: Milton Keynes, inner-city Birmingham, and a former Yorkshire pit village.

Why should people who are struggling to heat their homes and afford food,care too deeply about the death of someone from a family who could live a very long life bc she could afford the best health care and the best of everything else? It's not a lack of respect so much but just not very relatable,is it?

Yes but then why does he not take a trip to the nice suburbs of London or to the nice villages and towns of SE England or to the charming towns up north like Richmond, Yorkshire? Yes, I get that he's doing a great George Orwell impression and visiting all the poorest places but that doesn't actually give you a full picture of Britain. Because there's plenty of fairly successful and fairly prosperous places in Britain. This is why the left are always shocked when the Tories win, they always focus on the people at the bottom (which is fair enough) but not everyone and everywhere in Britain is at the bottom. And certainly many take pride in being more in the middle, not the bottom.

I was going to say, how come Birmingham has such a focus on the relationship of the state, to the wider community and things like that? It has never occurred to me that, kids in the UK, is not aware of the country that they live in? I can now see why he is "a focused community leader", or is awarded. Like a sheep herder, he is herding people into the right way. To focus on those goals to be achieved by the masses. This is interesting. Cos I had no idea.. how... and yet, I can tell you that, as I am a part of a "community"... or so the state's media will always pitch me in as... I only see these people, as certainly... "just someone who gets paid by the public purse". Cos how else, can one change their destiny and to get ideas in ? The very idea that, "to raise the elders in the community to be the higher pedestal" is exactly opposite to..."I need to do something for myself and for my kid's future by bringing in new ideas".... Youngsters want to have new ideas, they are born with the energy to have new ideas... But how do you make that movement happen, and to change the course of their own future's and destiny ????

Instead, I feel more of a concern about Charles’ WEF association and the hysteria and royalist deluge that has engulfed the country via the media. Once things settle down and some time has past, I believe attitudes will reverse as the problems we have won’t go away and Charles will no doubt continue to push the WEF’s agenda.

I'm not a monarchist or an anti monarchist and have struggled to understand why as a 55 year old ex-pat male I've been so upset, I think that I've come to the realisation that the Queen to me was such an integral part of being British, I didn't question the rights and wrongs of her reign or her place in todays world, she was just there. My feelings toward the new monarch are entirely different however and I've started to question the validity of the monarchy, not that my opinions or views are of any interest to anybody else.

The only thing that is constant in life is change. We have to move on. Those old ideas are not working anymore. There has been no progress in the world for a very long time.

When I was 10, looking at a 20 year old was considered "old", when I was 20, a 40 year old was "old", forgetting that when I was at 20, my 10 year old self had me written off as "old". "Old" people have experience and skills unmatched in the young, due to life span. I'm in my early 50's, I say from witnessing it, this country has gone through massive changes just in my lifetime, and it continues at a pace.

I think its because everything DID change when she became Queen. Communication and technology took off beyond anything that came before it and accelerated at incomprehensible speeds during her reign. The whole world was looking to the future after the end of World War 2. The world was becoming a lot smaller. New superpowers were rising it of the ashes of the two wars and popular culture was being born. Now obviously the two things coincided at the same time coincidentally but I think people are applying this social shifts to Charles's reign too. Think about it like this; people watched her coronation on a nine inch screen on a machine the size of small cupboard, now people can watch her funeral on a 9 inch screen that can fir through a letter box. So, how will we be watching the monarchs funeral from 70 years from now?

It seems weird to me that when someone says the monarch needs to make changes to the country, people in the media immediately interrupt and say "that's the Prime Minister's job" (very normal media btw, Britain), yet will give credit to Elizabeth II for decolonization, stable leadership, or anything that happened while she was Queen. Either the monarchy has power, in which case unelected people are able to have influence on things, or the monarchy is powerless and symbolic, in which case it's a waste of resources for the monarch to not be doing anything.

The Monarch rules absolutely through his Constitutional Parliament. Alot of people are misled thinking Liz Truss and her Cabinet have the authority but that's a load of tosh because they all; Lords, MP's, PM and Cabinet all swear an oath of allegiance to the Monarch. The Monarch takes the Coronation Oath which allows the Monarch to swear that s/he will Govern the people of the UK; that responsibility is not given to anyone else in the land!!! Even the media mislead people about the Governance of the country because it protects the Monarch. For example if people really knew the Monarch had the ultimate power, lots of people would be rattling the gates at Buckingham palace demanding change and the King wouldn't like that!!!!

A mere mortal passed away. It won't cause the world to collapse. Many are mourning, but don't expect everyone to mourn. People still remember her initial inaction when Andrew was first investigated for a terrible, despicable crime and, according to the Mercury News, how she paid for the settlement for Andrew to protect him. They also remember, according to The Guardian News, how her representatives lobbied the government in regards to a law that enabled her to hide her private wealth.

As an American-so my lack of understanding may be creating a blind spot, so I apologize-but is there not a connection seen between royal decadence and the country’s poor…their wealth is contributed by taxpayers money. What a difference it would make if even half that wealth was put back into the Country itself…? I just don’t see the use of a monarch at all let alone in the 21st century

The RF has few sources of income. 1) the crown estates - Lands owned by the monarch/crown. They don’t belong to the family privately but the family is entitled to the profits from those lands. Since George III, all profits have been surrendered to the Government and they get a specific % from it. It’s at 25% now ig. That’s basically 75% tax. 2) the Royal collection - this has private and crown owned thing from palaces to jewels to artwork. The family can decide what they want to do with the private stuff but can only use the crown owned stuff when performing duties for the state. 3) Duchy of Lancaster and Cornwall - these were established to give the Monarch and Heir a parliament free access to money. This money goes to their privy purse. It includes profits from lands and estates (kinda like Downton Abbey) and investments made by the duchies. Since the 1990s both duchies also pay income taxes. All of this put together is used to calculate the wealth of the Royal family. But in reality they own/can make profit out of less than 1/2 of what is listed. In fact the British monarchy subsides the taxpayer money due to the profits they surrender from the crown estate and the amount of subsidy only increases when you factor in the tourism. There are castles in my country too (India).. far older ones than the ones in the Uk but still I’d like to see the Tower of London not only cause of its history but also because a living monarch uses them. The use of a monarch is ceremonial. The head of state in the US is the President. Although elected by the people, they are not elected unanimously and will definitely tend to save their party. That partiality is gone in a constitutional monarchy. The job of the monarch is to represent Britain as a whole, not any particular ideology or party or vote bank

The Monarch IS the BIG BOSS of UK plc. LIz Truss and her cabinet along with all other MP's and Lords swear an oath of allegiance to the Monarch. The Monarch has the power to sack the PM and any minister. Liz Truss had to seek permission from the Monarch to form a Government. The official title of the Government is HM Government. What does the prefix HM stand for? Her Majesty's as in Her Majesty's Government and it's now His Majesty's Government. The Government belongs to the Crown. So many people are misled into thinking the Monarch has no power when in fact they have absolute power!!!! The President of the US cannot be compared to the Monarch because the President is elected and can only serve two terms. The Monarch is there for life and can pass on the throne to their heirs!!!
