A day after Britain crowned its third Charles as King in 1200 years, Matt and Erin spoke with author Komail Aijazuddin about what it was like growing up gay in Lahore, Pakistan with a father who was the honorary consul to the UK, what it was like being taught how to be a British gentleman at a British-style school in Pakistan, and how he once curtsied for the Queen. Komail talks about how the brutal fallout of British imperialism still resonates across the globe and what the future may hold for the British monarchy. We discuss the pettiness and tone-deafness of the coronation itself, and how the themes of class and race in the UK are mirrored in the US. It’s the perfect conversation to give you a little rational distance from all the fawning coronation coverage.
