The issue the author is getting at is that the pardon, and hence the monarch's body political, is unlikely to pass the Turing test not only due to its language but because it lacks empathy, sympathy, and a willingness to take responsibility for past actions or to use its power to redress wrongs inflicted upon the thousands victims of that particular injustice who are still living.

To be circumspect, neutrality towards monarchy - nevermind its celebration - is not historically a feature of either American progressivism or American populism.
