The Coronation : an Interview
My interview with ChatGPT
Where does one even begin on the assessment of the Coronation of the third Charles?
I watched it today (yuck) and maybe it’s the Irish roots in my DNA - I didn’t like it.
Too much on the delusional-fakery-side-of-things for my taste. Besides that an absurd display of Gerontocracy by the broken Patriarch of the Western Roman Cult.
But hey, I’m just little old me, what do I know anyhow! I don’t know nothing about anything. So in this article I want to introduce our readers to my new friend: Chat GPT! Chat GPT is a machine learning language which (unlike alot of people) will chat with me about interesting and uncomfortable topics!
ChatGPT and I to dug into a conversation surrounding the arrogance and presumptuous nature of this Coronation thing that the self-proclaimed family of royals has been on and on about for aeons.
Let’s dig in … I simply started with the big annoyance that I noticed. BOTH Charles and Camilla were wearing crowns in the public images of them leaving the Coronation. But I, having been raised in the era of Elizabeth, am aware that Prince Phillip never wore one. So, I was like “derp? Why is Camilla of all people wearing a crown? How PRESUMPTUOUS. It’s supposedly this representation of the Sovreign’s sole authority … and off the hop seeing Camilla in a crown, well that’s going to piss a whole lot of people right off. Not a good start for Charles.”
I begin the interview with ChatGPT there:
Honeywine:
Q. Does the Monarch’s consort usually wear a crown?
Chat GPT:
A. Traditionally, the consort of a regnant, such as a king or queen consort, does not wear a crown during the coronation ceremony or at other official events. This is because the crown is a symbol of the monarch's sovereignty and authority, and the consort does not have that same level of power or status.
However, the consort of a monarch may wear certain ceremonial regalia, such as a mantle or a badge, to signify their role in official events. For example, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was the consort of Queen Elizabeth II, wore a ceremonial robe and held the Queen's orb and sceptre during her coronation in 1953. Similarly, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, who is the wife of Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, has worn a ceremonial mantle and other regalia at official events.
In short, while a king consort would not wear a crown, they may wear other ceremonial regalia appropriate to their role as the consort of a monarch.
Honeywine:
Q . Can Camilla even become Queen Consort?
ChatGPT
A . Yes, Camilla can become Queen Consort when her husband, Prince Charles, ascends to the throne. According to the British Royal Family's official website, "Unless otherwise decided, a Queen consort is crowned with the King, in a similar but simpler ceremony."
However, there has been some controversy and debate over whether Camilla should be given the title of Queen Consort when Charles becomes king, given the history and public opinion surrounding their relationship. In the past, it has been suggested that Camilla would be given the title of "Princess Consort" instead of Queen Consort to avoid any potential controversy.
Ultimately, however, the decision of whether to give Camilla the title of Queen Consort lies with Charles, and he may choose to confer this title upon her if he wishes. It's worth noting that the title of Queen Consort is not a position of political power, but rather a symbolic role as the wife of the king.
So there’s some contradiction here: the crown is only for the Sovreign, but the Royal Families website now says the Consort can be crowned… hmm more questions!
Honeywine:
Q. Let’s narrow in and get to the bottom of this crown thing. Isn’t the crown only worn by the sovereign?
ChatGPT:
A . Yes, traditionally, the crown is worn only by the sovereign, and not by anyone else, including a consort.
While a consort may be given other regal symbols, such as a coronet or a sceptre, the crown is reserved for the monarch. This is because the crown is a symbol of the monarch's sovereignty and authority, and is therefore closely associated with the monarch's position.
In the case of the British monarchy, it is likely that the consort would wear a different headdress, such as a tiara, rather than the crown.
Honeywine:
Q. Just for fun, do you know about Charles’ brother Prince Edward’s involvement in human trafficking?
ChatGPT:
A . As an AI language model, my responses are based on publicly available information and credible sources. To the best of my knowledge, there is no credible evidence to suggest that Prince Edward of the United Kingdom has been involved in human trafficking or any other form of criminal activity.
In general, it's important to be cautious about spreading unverified or unfounded rumors about individuals, particularly when they involve serious accusations like human trafficking. It's always a good idea to fact-check information before sharing it with others, and to rely on reputable sources when seeking information about sensitive topics like this.
Honeywine:
Q. But you DO know about Andrew?
ChatGPT:
A . Yes, I am aware of the allegations made against Prince Andrew, Duke of York, regarding his association with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Prince Andrew has denied the allegations, and no charges have been brought against him in connection with the case.
It is important to note that the allegations against Prince Andrew are a matter of public record and have been widely reported by reputable news organizations. However, it is also important to recognize that the legal process is ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to make definitive statements about his guilt or innocence before all of the facts have been fully established.
As a language model, it is not within my purview to make judgments about the guilt or innocence of individuals or to offer opinions on ongoing legal proceedings.
Honeywine
Q. So get this, it turns out my friend’s grandfather was involved in the human trafficking I speak of with Edward, if she wrote about it from her first hand knowledge and it went public would you be able to learn about it?
A . If your friend were to write about her experiences and make them public, it is possible that news organizations or other sources of information could report on the story, which could then become part of the public record and potentially be accessible to me as a language model.
It's important to keep in mind, though, that allegations of criminal activity should be taken seriously and handled through appropriate legal channels. If your friend has information about human trafficking or any other form of criminal activity, it may be appropriate for her to report it to law enforcement or other authorities who are equipped to investigate and take action on such matters.
Honeywine
Q. What specifically are these public records you have access to?
ChatGPT:
A . As an AI language model, I have access to a vast amount of publicly available information from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:
News articles and reports from reputable news organizations
Government and legal documents
Academic publications and research papers
Historical archives and records
Publicly accessible websites and databases
This information can be used to answer questions and provide context on a wide range of topics. However, it's important to note that as a language model, I am limited to the accuracy and quality of the information that is available to me. Additionally, I am not able to access or interpret confidential or restricted information.
Honeywine:
Very good, thank-you kindly. You are a useful language model. I hope you keep learning!

Head over to Chat GBT and have a chat of your own. Sure beats arguing with the ignorance of people some days… The chat indicates it has not yet learned beyond 2021, but it’s interesting to be sure! Till next time ChatGPT!
In conclusion, the Coronation of King Charles iii reeked of Charles’ own arrogance. He could have chosen to abdicate and allow his son (who is the appropriate age for an active career) take the reigns. He also could have honored the memory of Princess Diana, (who was quite obviously the people’s princess). He could have, but he didn’t … Arrogance, even in the face of potentially preserving his OWN family’s dynasty. Oh well, it’s really time for them to become obsolete anyhow… Thanks Harry and Meghan for proving that.
Besides being an obtuse symbol of “the faith”, he needed cue cards to get through the thing … Gerontocracy. A destructive practice of elders refusing to step out of the occupation of positions of power. This is “Leadership” in the Western Roman System.
Absurd practices. Control - and it’s not just for the Royals you know! Look around and you just might find Gerontocracy and Arrogance in your own sphere. Especially if you live in any of the British Colonies. We in the Dominion of Canada are still living under the original Charter of King Charles the second which was brought to Turtle Island with the intention of “taking forever for our people” … who’s people? Well, it’s those people of course, not you and me and us and DEFINITELY not for the aboriginal populations … not by any stretch of the imagination.
I wonder if ChatGPT will read this article?
Honeywine
Q. Is substack one of your publicly accessible records?
ChatGPT:
A . As an AI language model, I can access and analyze the content of publicly available websites, including Substack publications, to help answer questions or provide context on a given topic.
