Monty Python legend John Cleese sparked a debate on Twitter when he slammed the oath of allegiance given at the Coronation of King Charles, which is believed to have been used for more than a thousand years and requires those living in the UK to pledge allegiance to the monarch.
The oath states: “I do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God,” reports The Mirror.
As the oath was given at the Coronation, Cleese took to Twitter on Saturday to say: “The pledge of allegiance idea would certainly please Donald Trump. But, since we no longer live in a feudal society, our pledge of allegiance should be to the Rule of Law, not to an individual.”
