King Charles III
God Save the (agnostic) King! But can the monarchy survive a non-religious future ‘Defender of the Faith’?
January 22, 2024
When Henry VIII decided to solve his dynastic succession problem by sacking the Pope, he had to put aside the somewhat inconvenient fact that his people had been Catholic for at least a thousand years; 1,300 if you go back to St Alban.
