We’ll I get it, I suppose. Considering the overwrought narrative explanation, rather than attribute it to crypto-paganism, I’m going with lib artsy-fartsiness. I don’t know what the author’s talking about; this sort of tendentious display has been used as long as I can remember in, for example, Olympic opening and closing ceremonies
After the Queen dies, the Royals are going to fade away, IMO. Good riddance.
