Clemency is the noblest trait which can reveal a true monarch to the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hope that a move toward clemency with Judge Afiuni would be a step towards the importance of maintaining a properly functioning justice system.
Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.
I began life as an absolute monarchist - on condition, of course, that I be that monarch.
In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.
The queen and I always got on well, still do; I uphold everything Her Majesty represents, has given up her life for. It's her duty. For her country, she's selfless to the grave.
After the French Revolution, it was not the treason of the king that was in question; it was the existence of the king. You have to be very careful when you judge and execute somebody for being a symbol.
To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty.
Over the years to come, one thing is for certain: if the monarchy wishes to stay relevant and in power, it will have to change more.
Treachery is noble when aimed at tyranny.
All things are subject to decay and when fate summons, monarchs must obey.
