[@angelrios5897]

The premise in this matter lies in the fact that for near on 52 years, Queen Elizabeth II never exercised the Crown's constitutional prerogative to send back a bill of Parliament, always assenting to what she viewed as "the will of the people". Viewing such as their ability to do as they pleased with the country, Parliament intended to mute the public's ability to criticize them, and dually, expected the Monarchy to assent as it always had. Not intending to carry on the traditions of his mother, a newly crowned King Charles III in fact refuses to assent to the bill, an action that prompts the Prime Minister to propose amending the country's constitution in order to remove the Crown's right to review any legislation forevermore, thereafter prompting the King to utilize evermore controversial constitutional powers to combat his own Prime Minister, essentially putting the British government at war with itself, within itself.

[@GeorgeKnighton]

Constitutionally, the play has a few problems. For example, a bill to change any aspect of the royal prerogative must receive permission ahead of time. So the bill that caused concern and led to the dissolution would never have received its first reading. Tony Blair made use of this constitutional restriction when he asked the Queen to ignore a bill that would have limited his government's ability to wage war in Iraq. He asked her to simply never reply to the request to read it, and it was in fact never read in Parliament at all. It's up to the monarch to allow a bill that curbs the monarch's power. :-) Another thing...the king of course would never have entered the House of Commons. However, when the monarch touches the property of the Palace of Westminster, all business stops. Nothing happens after the monarch steps foot on the property. Thereupon, Black Rod would summon the Commons to the House of Lords to hear whatever it is the monarch needs or wants. Also, as of the Fixed Term Parliament Act, the sovereign would *prorogue* Parliament, not dissolve it. :-)

[@knightoflight8249]

I just finished watching this movie and I’ve got to say despite my own grievances with Charles’ past he did the right thing in this situation. Parliament was about to past a law to regulate the press which had questionable breaches of free speech one of the foundations of any free and functioning democratic society. Charles actually read the bill and listened to his Prime Minister and the opposition party and decided to refuse Royal Assent as he was acting to protect his peoples rights which he has sworn as their King to protect. Although the act of giving Royal Assent is largely ceremonial it has in the past been refused, in 1707 by Queen Anne for instance. The Prime Minister then requested the King to sign the bill unchanged after Charles told him he would sign if the bill’s contents were change so it wouldn’t be questionably breaching his peoples rights. The Prime Minister then decided to pass a bill in Parliament to bypass Royal Assent for the passing of new legislation by Parliament, basically excluding the King from his position in Government and unable to fulfill his oath as King. So Charles did the only thing he could do in the situation. As the Prime Minister and his party only half heartily tried to meet Charles halfway. If the Prime Minister had his way he would have made a vital part of the institution he helps represent become completely irrelevant which could’ve resulted in the state being plunged into a political/constitutional crisis (even though the British Constitution is comprised of written and unwritten arrangements that establishes the U.K. as a political body) even if Charles abstained from acting on his right to dissolve parliament by way of William IV provisions and example. However this time public opinion was split equally between the Monarchy and Parliament. And Charles again in the scene confirmed with his Speaker that it is his Right as King to do this which the Speaker consented to and reaffirmed. What transpired next was Charles’ mistake in not being prepared for and meeting with the press immediately to inform his people what his intentions were. Which resulted in the very institution he was trying to protect to start twisting the events to suit an Anti Monarchist message and inflame Pro Republic sentiment. Which caused civil unrest and riots amongst the masses. Which lead Charles to request protection from the military by parking a tank behind the gates of Buckingham Palace. Which only made the situation even worse. However it makes sense Charles couldn’t prepare a statement immediately because the precedent of such a situation occurring hasn’t been taken into account before so he was sailing in unknown waters which caused him to take things slowly and properly. However the press and people would take advantage of the situation as seen throughout history. This then helped the Prime Minister to persuade William with Kate’s help to come over to his way of thinking and completely ruin his father’s only chance to right the situation when his father was finished with his preparations and ready to speak to the press. Clearly painting him in the wrong and needing to mediate between a good parliament and mad king. This lead to public opinion shifting toward parliament due to William’s and Kate’s popularity but in doing so completely putting the monarchy in danger. Which caused Charles being forced to abdicate. The sad thing here was that despite Charles actually trying to follow the constitution, written and unwritten arrangements. Basically trying to solve the crisis by the book William’s sole argument to end the situation was that Charles should have tried to engaged all parties from the beginning which Charles attempted to do but Parliament didn’t want to. This has occurred in the past before. One time resulted in the Monarch getting the concession to be given the Cabinet minutes to better and more effectively serve as a Constitutional Monarch. In the end the problem wasn’t solved through rational and legal means but by treacherous and dishonest means. Which is why at the end Charles took and crowned William saying “God save you”. Charles at least stood on principle and the institution while William in the film forfeited all that for his family. Which in the end devalued the crown even further to point where the monarchy’s future is uncertain in the end. As he preserved and obtain the crown through very questionable means which could set a dangerous precedent for the future.

I doubt it would be the monarch place to involve themselves in a crisis contained within one party in Parliament. It's a parliament problem unfortunately. Now if an election occurs and they try something stupid that threatens the British people after that it would not be inherently political and it might be something that would be duty to act upon. The monarchy is reserved by nature. I doubt that it will interfere in a mechanical squabble inside Parliament because the political backlash would be quite large from the political class. Conservatives would feel backstabbed (despite the fact they're just as useless as labor) and labor after a fresh election would say that the monarchy had become political and needs to be abolished (which several of their member have advocated for). However if an election was held because it came by through means not triggered by Charles, and then they did something above average in stupidity or corruption then simple petty squabbles... Yes, it might be possible and become likely.

Richard Johnson Because our government has gone further into the shit than the monarchy or the parliament could ever attempt to.

Our presidents have sucked the toes of our senate constantly just trying to get one of their agendas done and yet even then it never works, even if something is passed and we make progress the next president is bound to tear it away because it’s not within their agenda and therefore do not want it. Our last hope is the judicial branch and even then there is no solid guarantee that they won’t be bribed by corrupt senators as that has happened in the past. Our military swears it’s oath to the President and so if we were to rebel there is an even less guarantee that in that event they would side with us. We are caged dogs, fighting amongst ourselves while the real enemy watches us and cheers us on while making bets on who will win. And when we bite them hard enough they’ll just take us outside and shoot us. And with all that I will gladly state with my heart and soul, God Save the Queen!

Can we have this happen now?

[@tiberbrutus2093]

this work of theatrical art makes a fair point that the nation would be quite divided in such a scenario. Although the monarch would probably not dissolve parliament the military is oath bound to serve and protect the monarch and his or her family. I doubt the entire military would go along with this but the crown would have the initial advantage. However this nation; though a constitutional monarchy has built up century's of institutions that serve the house of commons i.e. the MOD, home office and foreign office. They may have the crown and blessing of the crown, they have been quite infested with political careerists that would stand with the parliamentarians. So politically the crown would also be isolated. And then there is the general public who would be outraged, that mixed with the social and economic troubles they have faced in the last decade combined with there representation being taken from them would result in riots across the entire nation. This would compromise our economy and standing in the international community. Now this Charles failed because he hesitated too long and did not wield the authority efficiently and as a result was worn down through by the political establishment and the nations stand still. Militarily speaking he and his inner circle along with the loyal part of the military would have had to retreat from England in its entirety and establish a new government in Scotland as well as a re structured military command. His first priory then would be to ensure that no member of NATO or foreign power get involved (so yeah good luck with that). Then the now restructured military would pacify northern Ireland first, followed by a steady campaign going through northern England/wales pacifying resistance and detaining/eliminating the military command that sided with the Parliamentarians; while also conducting a bombing campaign to eliminate the political opposition, major military strongholds and third party resistance (such as regional secessionists trying to establish more autonomous regions) groups. Large population centres like: London, Manchester, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham etc would have to be initially isolated and cut off from outside support. The vast consumption of food would result in a mass famine which could be dealt with using humanitarian aid from the UN that would be handed over to the Loyalist government (in Edinburgh) who could then use the food to feed to populace while also demonstrating mercy to the civilian populace who (as portrayed by media outlets under state control) were simply miss led into an unconstitutional rebellion by godless/ unscrupulous politicians who wanted more power over the people. Eventually the populace would tire and gradually begin to question there loyalty. Once London and all the British territories had been recaptured The King would likely reform parliament but with certain limiting factors that would give the king and crown more power to at least observe the new regime. Finally it would be best if he then abdicate and hand the thrown to his much younger son. Who in his inauguration speech would highlight how this transition of power represents the re birth of the United kingdom and in his first address to Parliament would outline how the UK will remain a constitutional Monarchy. This entire scenario would crash the economy for sure and the resulting collapse in social order and services would lead to the deaths of a couple of hundred thousands of civilians to a max of about 1.5-2.5 million civilian casualties with a further 23-25 million displaced from there homes. The campaign could last up to two years and the economic recovery of the nation and rebuilding would take decades but could present an opportunity to modernise the Nation and further unify its institutions. It would bankrupt the nation and the outrage from the rest of the world could result in harsh trade sanction or even embargos on our weakened nation. Our military would be in no position to flex muscles at the foreign powers so the crown would desperately try to establish ties with the common wealth who may have dis owned the crown and the UK and we would likely be excluded from NATO. So aside from of that would you be up for it?

Texan myself here. I hope you've see the actual movie. The whole point is that Charles starts a constitutional crisis by not assenting to a bill of Parliament. His reasoning is that bill constrains freedom of speech. Pretty sure it's been almost 300 years since royal assent was declined for this type of bill. Also, if I understand things correctly, if Parliament is dissolved, they hold elections and re-form pretty quickly. If I understand correctly from the movie "Darkest Hour".
