The former minister and new commentator of the TSF Non-Aligned, João Soares, is convinced that Carlos III will not be the last king of England. Republican and socialist by the way, the former mayor of Lisbon confessed to being surprised by the support for the monarchy shown in recent days.
“It must be recognised, even by staunch republicans like myself, that indeed what has been happening of late may give the prince, now king, an opportunity to assert monarchical values in a stronger way than many would.” “. think “, João Soares explained in his debut in the commentary.
Admitting that there were times when he thought “that Elizabeth II would probably be the last queen of the United Kingdom”, the former ruler says he is “convinced” that Carlos III can now strengthen the monarchical system.
The funeral acts of Elizabeth II ended this Monday with a mass at the Capela de São Jorge, in Windsor, which was attended by some 800 people.
The queen’s coffin was lowered into the royal vault of the chapel, before being transferred to the family crypt for later private burial. Before being lowered, the heavy oak and lead coffin was stripped of the jewels that had adorned it since the sovereign’s death on September 8: the imperial crown, the scepter and the royal orbs that symbolize the Christian world.
