Because when its public they can pretend that the royals are actually owned by the public.

THAT BEING SAID....

Thats because they do. The Windsor's are propped up by the United Kingdom. They've got the usual estate shit but these days the peasants are owned by the banks and business so they dont have the free labour or land that allowed them to pay for themselves which was the whole fucking idea of landed estate in the first place.

I think the “royal family is out. Meaning dead. Queen, Phillip and Charles.

Just what I read I bitchute. The Chief supposedly had gotten this info.

I have not cross checked it, but the Queen did not invite MeeGain to her funeral.

What a shitty comment really.

Disagree with some class not with low balls.

redwing14

All countries leaders are merely puppets to whoever those countries owe trillions of dollars/pounds/whatever in national debt to.

In retrospect (I am from a commonwealth country) they always taught us in school that they were mere figureheads, whilst quietly mentioning none of our laws can "technically" pass without assent of an agent of the queen (and a big mace, literally). When the Prime Minister of Canada wants to "prorogue" (randomly shut down the upper end of government to avoid a vote or something) he has to ask the Queen's representative in Canada

Oh it gets even more fun if you know the previous history of how a "king" is chosen. It involves 2 dudes with swords trying to kill the other while not getting killed themselves, winner is king. Legitimacy is established by the mob watching the battle and deciding weather or not you're a fucking tyrant (read: they kill the victor) and go with whoever the group sticks with the king job should that event occur.

I miss those days. Royal blood my ass.

fucking bullshit read some legit history.

In very very old times kings were still elected. Its how the Saxons did it. It only became hereditary after the normans showed up. Legitimacy came by keeping the country secure and fucking lots of women to make sure you had someone to take over from you when you died.

The bloodshed happened when the rulers were pissweak.

That sounds so... jewish.
