Very woke: Royal Family SLAMMED for ‘prioritizing being politically correct

The Royal Family have been accused of “going woke” by commentator Anna McGovern as she accused The Firm of “prioritising political correctness”.

King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to jet off on a tour of Australia next month, but will be making a significant change to the language that is usually used.

The traditional term of “walkabout” will be replaced with “an opportunity to meet the public” in an aim to show sensitivity towards Indigenous Australian culture, where “walkabout” holds a spiritual meaning.

The move has sparked criticism, with some claiming that the Royal Family has “gone woke
Speaking to GB News, political commentator Anna McGovern fumed: “I think this is a trend that we’re seeing where we’re rejecting tradition and something that has been part of our culture for decades now.

“This is something that has been a big part of the tradition, a big part of our history, and I just think it definitely represents the trend that we’re seeing and the direction we’re going where we’re prioritising political correctness and not wanting to upset people. And I just think it’s absolutely woke ridiculousness.

However, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams argued that it is important to “be sensitive” to cultures in different countries.
He said: “It’s absolutely essential in my view that the sensitivities in different countries are observed. If you look for example, the last time William and Catherine sadly went abroad, this was in March 2022 to the Caribbean.

“It wasn’t successful because of the issues, although I think it was wrongly, and they were hypersensitive particularly with demands for reparations.”

He added: “You look at the Commonwealth, the 56 countries now, I think that’s an enormously important institution and we benefit in all sorts of ways as to the other countries or members of it.

Now, if you don’t take account the times changing, as they did during Queen Elizabeth’s reign, you don’t take account of various sensitivities, especially certain pressure groups.

“I’m not suggesting that we write off our history as being something that’s dreadful. They’re ups and downs and pluses and minuses, we all know that.

“But the point is to be sensitive to other cultures, and that’s an absolutely perfect one.”

GB News host Patrick Christys fired back: “He spends half his life apologising for stuff they had nothing to do with.

The term “walkabout” holds significant cultural meaning for Indigenous Australians, often referring to a spiritual journey or rite of passage in the bush.

Recognising this, the royal tour will instead use phrases like “an opportunity to meet the public” when describing interactions with royal fans.

The tour’s programme has been edited after a consultation with the Australian government to ensure the royal couple’s energy is high during their visit.
