Irish Examiner view: Crown allegiance is wavering 

King Charles III's coronation will take place on Saturday. 

It is understandable that a large rump of the British people has taken exception to being asked to swear an oath of allegiance to King Charles III during his coronation next Saturday.

While many politicians feel this oath is merely an extension to that which members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords have to take on assuming office, many others feel that asking the public to take it is a step too far.
