Addressing King Charles directly, the former chaplain pleaded, “It’s Easter, your majesty. Christ is risen. Try saying it perhaps to your subjects to encourage them.…Is that not what a king ought to do at a time like this?”

Dr Gavin Ashenden has called time on the House of Windsor, criticising King Charles III for ignoring Easter after praising Ramadan.

The Queen’s former chaplain issued the fiery response on Good Friday, asking Charles why he had made time to coddle Islam, yet had no time for Christian Britain.

“King Charles issued a warm message to the Islamic community at the beginning of Ramadan this year.”

“He didn’t issue a greeting to the Christians whose Lent parallels it. In fact, he was notably silent,” Ashenden observed.

King Charles, ‘Inclusion’ and UK’s Decay

We’re told King Charles has adopted an inclusive approach to his reign, the former Royal chaplain stated.

So where is it?

Surely, if this were true, he would have issued an Easter message alongside the tribute to Ramadan and Eid.

Pointing out the King’s glaringly obvious contradiction by omission, Ashenden said there is “no sense of even-handedness.”

“Neither this year nor last year did [the King] mention Christianity and Lent.”

“It’s odd,” he remarked.

While the King does acknowledge Christianity, he usually only does so to promote Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism.

“There isn’t anything specifically Christian about his commitment or his public pronouncements”, Ashenden asserted.

“When it’s Christian, it’s a platform for inclusivity. When it’s Islamic, it’s exclusively Islamic.”

Christians are the majority in the United Kingdom, so why does Charles appear to be more “sympathetic to Islam”?

Ashenden added that people were right to wonder whether the King of Christian Britain and defender of the faith was actually a Muslim.

Refusing to honour that oath damages King Charles’ “relationship with his subjects.”

Defender of the faith is not just a title, thundered Ashenden. It’s an oath “to defend the faith to be the supreme governor of the Church.”

“If Charles is the supreme governor of the Church, and he is, it’s part of his coronation covenant, then where is his sense of celebration?”

Where is the encouragement?

Well, Ashenden stated, Christianity in the West, particularly in Britain—Anglicanism above all—is “beginning to sink and decay”.

“All the institutions that have been taken over by the hard left by wokery dislike Christianity.”

Defender of the Faith Missing in Action

In that elitist echo chamber, the King is its last defender.

“You might think that just as an expression of his Christian identity, of the need for Christian civilisation, that he would do something to give some extra confidence or boost.”

While there is no traditional Easter message from the monarch, “this would be the moment to start!”, Ashenden exclaimed.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a “profound moment of hope.”

“It’s the hope that the life of the soul, the life of integrity, the life of the metaphysical survives beyond death.”
