Controversial Call for British People to Pledge Allegiance to King Charles
TL;DR Summary
King Charles' proposal to replace the homage of peers with a "homage of the people" during his coronation has not been well-received by the public. Critics have called it an offensive and tone-deaf gesture that holds the people in contempt, while an online poll found that 85% of respondents would not participate. The Archbishop of Canterbury's office has emphasized that the rejoinder is optional, and that it is an invitation rather than an expectation or request.
