The invitation to pledge allegiance to the King has gone down exactly as you’d expect – 28 right Royal rejections

Just performed a citizen's arrest on a woman in Boots who couldn't recite the King's Oath of Allegiance on demand.
She may have objected to being put in a headlock, but the King objects to his subjects not swearing fealty.

Swear allegiance to Prince Andrew (8th in line for the throne)? I don’t think so. Oaths of fealty belong in Game of Thrones, not in a modern democracy https://t.co/DH7xd9MHh2

Mad how we left the EU because it was "undemocratic" but we're all meant to pledge allegiance to a new king that nobody voted for

Admittedly I'm coming at this from a fantasy writer perspective but the only reason I can think for a monarch to have their subjects swear allegiance is if they're about to be usurped. Or a ruddy great big dragon is about to turn up and I need some cannon fodder.

I was going to swear at Charles’s coronation long before he asked anyone too tbh. I had some really good ones planned as well.

You know you’ve gone too far when you lose the Monarchists.
I am a huge believer in the monarchy but I am not going to swear "true allegiance." Step too far I'm afraid. https://t.co/uaX6SpBecI
