Why did De Valera keep the King around as part of External Relations even after the new Irish Constitution was put into place?
I'm curious about something. Why did De Valera keep the King around as part of External Relations even after the new Irish Constitution was put into place?
Ah, that's an interesting question. De Valera saw the King as a symbol of Ireland's continued ties to the British Empire, and wanted to maintain a positive relationship with Britain through the figurehead of the monarch.
