Queen Elizabeth II (April 21, 1926-September 8, 2022) was the queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms. She was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state, and the second-longest reigning sovereign monarch in world history. She was succeded by her eldest son, who took the name King Charles III.
The coronation of King Charles III comes as the UK’s consul general in Hong Kong looks to an improvement in relations and the benefits that would bring.
Maintaining some elements of Hong Kong’s colonial past can serve as a way of reflecting on the city’s legacy as it looks to the future.
Legislator Maggie Chan is right to demand that Hong Kong remove leftover colonial terms from the lawbooks but there is no need to change historic street names or remove other landmarks.
Charles has hinted he will be nothing more than a ceremonial king, perhaps remembering the dodgy role he had played in the palace coup his late mother Queen Elizabeth had allegedly sanctioned in the dismissal of Australian Labor prime minister Gough Whitlam and the collapse of his government in 1975.
Presidents, prime ministers and monarchs from all over attended Elizabeth’s state funeral, a reminder of what a globalised world should be all about as opposed to confrontation.
