King Charles' reign faces new challenge: Is monarchy still relevant?

King Charle has faced unexpected challenges since ascending to the British throne in 2022.

The Monarch's troubles are far from over as new troubles emrge before the old ones subside, but he never slows down.

David Dimbleby's new series has triggered a new debate about the monarch's reign, prompting royal fans to ponder the institution's relevance in modern times.

David questions the role and power of King Charles in his three-part BBC documentary, "What's the Monarchy for?" 

He compared the monarch to the Wizard of Oz – a figure with perceived power but little real influence. 

The series explores the monarchy's "soft power" in diplomacy and asks if its existence relies on public apathy or affection.

Dimbleby interviews historians, politicians, and anti-monarchy groups, highlighting arguments for and against the institution. The raises key questions: What's the point of the monarchy? Does it serve a purpose in modern Britain?

 He references the "mysticism about monarchy" and that that is what he's fascinated by; it's what most royal watchers are fascinated by, I would say.

But he also asks, "What role is there for our unelected head of state? Or more bluntly, what is the point of the monarchy? What does the monarchy serve for?"
