It’s really not that bizarre, not conspiratorial, and not “public passivity and capitulation”.

The government has been a constitutional monarchy for centuries, this has happened dozens of times before (with more & less bloodshed), and is well known, expected, it is completely legal, and the operation was well publicized.

You’re welcome to not like it, but acting incredulous shows how little you know about the UK.

I know plenty about the UK, thank you :)

Whether UK and Commonwealth citizens across the globe really want ceremonal proclamations of accession or not is moot -- they don't get a choice. This is the point. It's a bizarre anachronism that serves as a reminder of the class system, and our places within it.
