It took 11.5 years for Elizabeth II to reach her 4th PM. Her heir Charles III will reach the same point in 3 years and 9 months.
Wise, warm, witty, bold, deliberate & confident, King Charles delivered a speech drawing on history and the urgent threatening realities of the present. The UK monarchy is age old but still has a powerful potency not to be underestimated.
