Dismay over King Charles's coronation raises questions about Canada's ties to the monarchy

The coronation of King Charles was a cringe-inducing display of white European hereditary privilege and ostentation that angered many, both in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Key Points:

The coronation of King Charles was a cringe-inducing display of white European hereditary privilege and ostentation that angered many, both in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
That anger, or in some cases simple apathy or collective eye-rolling, should not be ignored because the monarchy and the Crown are not merely symbols, they’re a massive expense.

The U.S. style of republicanism

From George W. Bush’s disastrous war on terror to the Trump administration’s outright repudiation of democratic norms, recent presidents have not hesitated to behave like kings.
As I have argued before, each Commonwealth nation would have different legislative and constitutional processes to follow to sever ties with the British monarchy.
Because of this, some leading constitutional lawyers in Canada regard the question as a non-starter.
But if Canadians aren’t careful, they may one day find that events in the U.K. make the decision for us.

Different political systems

Like Canada, the U.K. has a constitution and the monarchy is essential to it.
Changing the British Constitution can at least theoretically be done by an ordinary act of Parliament and without the complexity of co-ordinating 10 sovereign legislatures.
This means British parliament, unlike Canada’s, can unilaterally amend its constitution to address the status of the monarchy if it wishes.
To my knowledge, this would be a completely uncharted territory and a constitutional crisis of the highest magnitude.

Looking ahead

We might start by recognizing forms of political association, governance and policymaking that are less European and owe more to Indigenous models.
But it’s tough to reconcile a European hereditary monarchy with a Canada in which Indigenous people are attempting to take control over their own destiny.

What the stories of the Crown Jewels tell us about exploitation and the quest for reparations — Podcast

Although King Charles will have a low-key ceremony on his coronation day this May 6, the Crown Jewels will still figure prominently.

Key Points:

Although King Charles will have a low-key ceremony on his coronation day this May 6, the Crown Jewels will still figure prominently.
An exploration of the story of the jewels tells a tale of brutal exploitation, rape and the original looting.
Much of what was called the British Empire was built from stolen riches — globally — and much of that was from India.
In fact, India was such an abundant contributor to the Crown that at the time of its occupation of South Asia, Britain called India the Jewel in its Crown.

King Charles's 21st century coronation: Repatriating the Crown Jewels is long overdue

Majesty, spectacle and celebrity have long been associated with the British Royal Family, and the Crown Jewels have traditionally enhanced each of these aspects.

Key Points:

Majesty, spectacle and celebrity have long been associated with the British Royal Family, and the Crown Jewels have traditionally enhanced each of these aspects.
But in the 21st century, it’s time for the monarch to make good on the vow to “reform what is amiss” and repatriate those priceless gems.

Jewels taking centre stage

These diamonds have a painful history and yet two of them are taking centre stage at King Charles’s coronation at a time of acute post-colonial pain.
The Royal Family is aware of this history; that’s likely why it opted against including the Koh-i-Noor diamond in the coronation ceremony.
This display is intended to capture attention, reinforce British identity and immerse British and Commonwealth citizens in the sovereign-subject relationship.

The stolen Crown Jewels

In the 21st century, however, the Crown Jewels and coronation regalia are under intense scrutiny amid decolonization and ongoing efforts to repair Britain’s global relationships.
Identity and repair are at the centre of current developments, reinforcing the importance of this coronation — and King Charles himself.
That some Indigenous leaders didn’t feel mournful about her passing reflects the impact of colonization on the monarchy.

Colonial aggression

Consequently, the Crown Jewels represent something much more than the majesty of British history because they incorporate gems that are artefacts of colonial aggression and ideology.
If coronation viewers are enchanted by the majesty and historical grandeur of the coronation ceremony, are they also enchanted by Britain’s brutal colonial past?
Specifically, will viewers be struck by the contradiction between the supposed purity and sanctity of St. Edward’s Crown, the Imperial Crown, the Sovereign’s Sceptre and Orb and the savage and demeaning colonial origins of the gems embedded within them?

Koh-i-Noor diamond

The same is true for the Koh-i-Noor diamond, forcibly “gifted” in 1849 by 10-year-old Maharajah Duleep Singh to the British East India Company and subsequently placed into the crown of the late Queen Mother for her coronation in 1937.
Although it won’t be seen at Charles’s coronation, it’s still among the Crown Jewels — and it’s hardly the embodiment of virtue.
Gems do not a monarch make, and repatriating them would strengthen and modernize the contemporary British monarchy at a time when it most urgently needs to do so.

King Charles's coronation: How the place of Britain and the Crown has shifted in Canadian schooling

Imagining and building nations is central to school systems, and began in Canada shortly after Confederation in 1867.

Key Points:

Imagining and building nations is central to school systems, and began in Canada shortly after Confederation in 1867.
Ironically perhaps, it may be the move toward reconciliation between Indigenous Peoples and settler Canadians that could revive the focus of the Crown in Canadian schooling.

‘Agency for national unity’

Following Confederation, Canada grew both by adding new provinces and territories and through immigration.
This coincided with the push for universal public education which policymakers of the day saw as “an agency for national unity and social harmony.”

Egerton Ryerson: Racist philosophy of residential schools also shaped public education

According to Canadian historian Desmond Morton, that purpose was achieved in English Canadian schools by focusing on “the historical myths of British nationalism … What mere Canadian citizenship could compete with the claims of an empire that spanned the known universe?” These myths, he notes, were conveyed by texts like adapted editions of the Irish National Reader, the first textbook used in Upper Canada.

1897 Royal celebrations

The impetus for this focus on empire flourished during Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897.
These celebrations inspired an outpouring of patriotic sentiment, and a push to foster patriotism in English Canada’s schools.
The first Empire Day was celebrated in 1899 and coincided with Queen Victoria’s 80th birthday, adding fervour to the event.

1940s and beyond

Toward the end of the 1930s and into the 1940s there was a shift away from this focus on what some called “Anglo conformity” in Canadian schools and society more generally.
Second, many educators and others began to see assimilationist approaches to schooling as morally wrong.
They were beginning to recognize the injustice of what Mi'kmaw scholar Marie Battiste later called “cognitive imperialism” to extinguish alternative conceptions of society and nation.

1947 Canadian Citizenship Act

A growing sense that Canadians needed to imagine themselves as an independent people was fostered by Canada’s participation as an independent and important part of the war effort against the axis powers.
It found expression in the Canadian Citizenship Act in 1947.

Assumptions of citizenship

In later decades, the assumptions of citizen education began to shift from a focus on conformity to broader ideas of cultural pluralism including affirming forms of gender, sexuality or racialized identity as goals for education.
An example is the iconic painting “The Fathers of Confederation,” copies of which have adorned some textbooks or hung in schools.

Royal Proclamation of 1763

Of significance for thinking about the role of the Crown in Canada is that The Constitution Act of 1982 grounds treaty and other Indigenous rights in Canada in the Royal Proclamation of 1763.
Many Indigenous and other legal scholars recognize the proclamation “as an important first step toward the recognition of existing Aboriginal rights and title.” The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) notes the proclamation set an approach to treaty making based on mutual respect.
