This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batson with my favorite segment of the week with my

friend and colleague Gregory Coppoli of Defense and Foreign Affairs and Australian National.

Remember the Commonwealth? King Charles III. September 8th will be his one year in office.

And I constantly watch the truth of Gregory's teaching about why you need a king. What's

of people in the Commonwealth appreciate the advantage, even in Spain, where we saw the Spanish

victory in the women's World Cup soccer in Australia just recently. You saw King Philippe the sixth

going there to be with his winning team. They're very, very important for creating a sense of

it's the royal houses that keep them together in many respects. Even the incredible vitriol,

which has gone on between the French government of Emmanuel Macron and the British

successive governments over Brexit, it's been healed by the monarchy. What we see next week,
