I am thrilled by the invitation to take the oath because the opportunity to pledge my ‘true allegiance’ to the King is a unique chance to take part in this historic occasion in a very personal way.
I can’t wait for Saturday, not least because I will be broadcasting live from Buckingham Palace for GB News in the afternoon. But I know that if I was at home, I’d be equally excited to stand in front of the TV and recite the words – from the heart, with my arms around my children.
This isn’t like taking the knee, or any other empty, here-today-gone-tomorrow gesture beloved of the virtue-signalling wokerati. Most of us roll our eyes at that sort of thing.
This is the Crown renewing its commitment to the British people and I’m delighted to return the favour in any small and humble way I can.
