I agree to a point, but then Redwood would have been better keeping his mouth shut than trying to sing the Welsh anthem.Don't think that's really the point. He's the Prime Minister of the country. That means occasionally doing what you 'should do' rather than what you 'want to do'.
Many of our new fellow citizens, of which Rishi is one one have no deep rooted connection to our past and he could have taken that stance in a more elegant way than he did, after all the King was already there.
In truth, you can understand his thinking on that basis given that Charlie was doing the heavy lifting, and he would have been better to say “do you know what, I have no cultural connection to this commemoration, and I would have been a fraud going along with it” as oppose to muppeting along like Redwood.
