The Monarchy forgot that the needs of society changed. There is NO VISION among those who make up the monarchy
Just like Diana tried to explain to QE2, but I believe the queen went to her grave regretting not listening to her.
Charles and William have brought this upon themselves.
Diana didn't do anything wrong except marry that horrible man. Charles was much more a problem then Diana ever could have been. I wouldn't wish that family on anyone ever.
The same could be said for the missing Catherine
@@covidvidz7271 While Cowilla is/was the queen of the worse dirt.
He still is.
I cannot stand Charles and Camilla for hurting young Diana! Those two slouches are at least 13 or 14 years older than that innocent girl! If Charles was a smart man and not a jealous, selfish man, he and Diana could have been just like Harry and Meghan! She was beautiful, sincere, a worker for good, and she cared about people! Too bad Charles isn’t as intelligent as his son, Harry! Harry and his wife are hard workers, and doing good work! Charles could have shared some of Diana’s stardust, because she was the STAR in that marriage, but he was too selfish! He’s always been a shortsighted ignorant pompous fool!🤬
ARE YOU REALLY THIS NAIVE? ! BOTH WILLY AND HENRY(HARRY) ARE BASTARDS OF DIANA AND HER TENNIS COACH -WILLY; AND HER STABLEMASTER- HARRY
NOW WATCH HER INFAMOUS INTERVIEW AGAIN; PRETENDING TO BE THE INNOCENT; BETRAYED; FAITHFULL WIFE! SHE HAD ABOUT 30 SEX PARTNERS; WOULDN´T CALL THEM EVEN LOVERS BUT COMPLAINING BEING THREE IN THE MARRIAGE IS CROWDED - HOW HYPOCRITIC IS THAT ?!
William doesnt want to be King, he just wants to be rich, important and popular.
He wants the accolades but not the work! Pretty much what is going on right now!🙄
And without working, he shows no empathy to people he meets , his body language shows this.
Comments like that are clearly based on jelousy
Pour être riche il faut bosser. Willy est paresseux 😂😂😂
He said he is going to work from home. Not joking.
The mistake Charles make was was guve his wife ,his mother's title .the woman no one respected
I think she put a spell on him.
@@cartomancycarmen And I think it hit him in his tender bits...
Exactly! The Queen wanted her to be consort! I also hate to see her dripping in the Queen’s jewels!🙄
@@cartomancycarmen she put a spell on something! When a man wants to be your TAMPON, you know you have him by the balls! Camilla is a manipulator! Charles got his wish, did you see the portrait?🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@zachstar244 exactly that!!!
I think it’s time to abolish the monarchy . Enough already.
As soon as possible.
William wants the crown but not the work
Also wants the frosting of falsehoods of ENTITLEMENT Called immunity.
Correction: He wants the money that the crown can bring in ...without the work. They are BILLIONAIRES for goodness sake. No need to worry about money for 300 years.
We do not believe that, He does not want anything, without his mother RIP. The same, Harry.
They are sons of "True Queen", they thing that, we believe.
@@rashida7777not for the love of God, sorry.
@@rashida7777Whatever it is they do, cutting ribbons etc, it definitely isn't work by most definitions of the word. It's really just get up, dress up, turn up, repeat.
Even if Harry were the only one who could save the monarchy, William, Camilla and Charles would burn it down before they’d allow it to happen. Even tho, they’ve pretty much done it themselves already.
Harry does not have the staying power , and inteligence to be king, he would be lead by his wife, you wouldn't get king Harry, you would get Queen Megan, and she, will just use it for personal gain, parliament will vote for an republic soon after.
Exactly 💯 👍

We haven't had a proper English King in over a thousand years.
Nor you have Man!
Between the Anglo Saxon ones and the Normans there were Danes. Knut / Cnut (interesting anagram) king of England 1016 to 1035 was the son of Sveyn Forkbeard of Denmark and Gunhilda (?) or her Polish name was Świętosława daughter of Mieszko I, Duke of Mazovia and sister of Bolesław I, the first crowned king of Poland (Gniezno 1000***). Cnut brought over Polish cavalry fighters, from his mother, to aid in the conquest of England, among the Danes raised by his father's side. So Anglo Saxons weren't just conquered by French Normans (1066).
Footnote :
***According to the Chronicon of the Saxon Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg Bolesław I of Poland wasn't crowned in 1000. He was crowned in 1025. The 1000 event was just a cathedral dedication or christening with a visit from the Holy Roman Emperor. But Bolesław certainly called himself king from 1000 onwards.
PS The Normans didn't come to England before 1066. From about 1030 onwards they were busy conquering Sicily, although it wasn't an official Duke of Normandy thing. It was more a freelance mercenary Wagner Group style effort led by a knight called Tancrède and his sons, plus their private army. They created their own Norman kingdom of Sicily. So Sicily became a bit of a Phoenician Greek Roman Moorish Arab Norman Byzantine Neapolitan Spanish and finally Italian melting pot. And I haven't even mentioned the Mafia. 😅
@@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw
Good one. I worked for Sicilians for 5 years. Loved it!
I really enjoy these little jaunts through history.
Oh please, William can't even save himself, he's awful .. yes Harry can but won't have a chance.
William is too lazy and busy chasing after Rose.
Are the British people tired of their caste system of the haves and have nots?
Every country has a caste system including the USA, where money is King. Granted we cling to our outmoded system which benefits no one except the elites. Their time is coming to an end .
They truly should be! Not to mention they are lied to and gaslighted by the press and their news, each and everyday! #WhereIsKate
The republican USA is far less equal than any European Monarchy, including the UK. Increasingly, its political families have started to turn into hereditary dynasties - the Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Clinton and maybe even Trump families…
All societies wind up having social distinctions - even Communist societies.
This brit is sick of the lot of the bedhopping tax dodging gits.
Those are social welfare grifters that sheeple continue to pray for.

Harry DON'T Want to be Head of the MONARCHY, NEVER.
He may be royalty but he has common sense 🥲
He won't get chance 😂
But with the loss of Wm and children, Harry will be called back but only to assist in the de-monichar-isation of England. He will handle the transition perfectly. Note William just held his first "Garden Party" but was in company of the QEIIs cousins the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester who have remained long time "stand by's"
@GA-fz2wt he doesn't want a chance
@@seanhickey9709 Well it's a good job isn't it, as he'll never get the chance.🙏😁 🏴
William is just lazy cant dig a hole
If you look at film of Diana interacting with her two sons as toddler and a bit older, William is a mess, a brat. Harry seems solemn most times but William geez. Look at them both now. Harry seems settled but William’s seems far from settled. How can he be king?
William is stiff and self centered HE NEVER LOOKS NATURAL!!!!!!!
Monarch died when the Queen transition. Charles is playing the role for alittle while. Diana was right he makes a lousy King. William is even worst.
William reminds me of a weasel
Totally uninformed speculation on my part. I think that William is being properly dutiful and respectful because King Charles has definite ideas about how he wants his reign to look. But if the monarchy continues, I think that William will be his own man.
@@brachiator1
Would that be the same respectful William who has already made statements about how he will rule, as opposed to his father??
William has itchy fingers and doesn't mind showing it??
@@murieledwards7555 We shall see what happens. I made my observations, but I don't have a crystal ball and would never say that I am "right" about what may happen in the future. And as I have noted elsewhere, I don't know if the monarchy will be around much longer. I do think that some of the courtiers and Royal Watchers have their heads up their behinds and are harming the institution that they claim to be protecting.
@@brachiator1
I am not in disagreement with you.
Charles had itchy fingers too...Unlike William, he was respectful to Queen Elizabeth.
I actually hope Charles is on the throne for a bit. It will allow William the opportunity to learn things.
was respectful to the Queen in not making statements to the press.
The mystery was long gone, and QE2 put a fig leaf over it. My feelings have been for a very long time that William would not be king. He is lacking in so many ways. He has no personality at all. I think he has hidden who is so deeply he has forgotten himself, and what I see is a shell of a human with no warmth and nothing to recommend him. I look at George, and I see the samething very scared in public and blank. I hate to label a child, but for now, that's how he looks. I think a lot can happen to change that, but will he be allowed to develop into a well-rounded human or will they stifle his personality. Snuff out the real person and leave an empty shell. Harry escaped that because they largely ignored him and he was able to develop into a fully functioning human with all the frailty that brings but he was able to put it behind him and come out a strong moral individual with a mind of his own and a winning personality. That's why people love him because he is real flaws and all. What I see with the rest of them is that they are actors in a long-running soap opera that has ran too long the audience as moved on because the lead actors that made the play work has left the show. The late Queen, Prince Philip and Harry and the new blood they brought in to pep it up that went down a storm they did not extend her contract and now they are waiting for curtain call, a permanent one.
Well said. Agree. TU.
Charlotte is better suited to rule than George. In a line from the movie 10 commandments Pharoah Seti tells Ramses that he'll choose the one best suited to rule. " I owe that to my father's, not to my sons" Anne should have ruled instead of Charles.
I think that George looks confused by the indoctrination process. There's a good reason they do not want him to be in contact with Harry.
@@jacquelinewiseman2039Anne would have been Queen Elizabeth II version 2.0. It would have been interesting to watch.
@@bornicks2Yep, agree, but she would not have pulled it out like Elizabeth. We are in moderne times. She is boring as hell and uninspiring.
It's gone completely downhill after the debacle with Diana. And I still believe Charles had her killed. This family has always been a mess. The only difference is, one can see it in real time through social media. I am so happy that H&M left the poopie show to lead their own lives. They were the normal ones. The others...need psychological assistance. They are already on the verge of being sociopaths. It is no longer Cain vs. Abel. But Adam & Cain vs. Abel. I truly believe they want to murder H&M. And their children as well if they can get to them.
And William is repeating his dad’s choices with 🌹 being lined up to replace Catherine 😒
Not sure it was Charles but have a closer look at his father.
Have a closer look at William 😒
I believe that too! I think Kate is in a coma! I don’t think Charles or Kate have cancer!🙄
I agree

I certainly hope he will be. We live in 2024. The idea that you can have an unelected head of state (whether symbolic or not) is beyond ridiculous.
Charles I think, has an inkling of the absurdity of this nonsense. His wife, although supportive, I sense seems even more uncomfortable, knowing that, although for most of us the Queen had been there since we were born, Camilla will never be accepted as a real queen. For goodness sake, end this baloney now.

William couldn't find his way out of an open paper bag. He lacks wisdom and is lazy as heck.
That cluster-muck in Jamaica was a shining example. No one including William thought recreating the 50 year visit of Queen Elizabeth with the same open air truck was a good idea?? It was a disaster. Afterwards, William doesn't own it, nor his part in it. He makes a silly statement about
"heads rolling" within the staff.
Is he ten years old or something?? The concept of Earthshot was Charles' original idea. Now it's William's shiny toy...And he has done what with it?? Well, it did allow him to dress up and remotely present prizes of sorts.
No, William doesn't compare in any way to Macron, nor does he compare to his younger brother.😂

One thing is clear. Modern nations have largely abandoned monarchies, even as vestigial cremonial offices. It may be time for the UK to catch up.
Harry and Meghan were too modern and truly loved by the general public. You ask the young people in the UK if Harry and Megha should come back and most answered no! They saw what the king and future king were doing to them! The young people were excited that they were going to have these two modern Duke and Duchess! Oh, well, UK’s loss is America’s gain! Ask the Governor of California, he’ll tell you!💯
Down with the monarchy! And all that sort of thing.
What you really mean is down with the sort of people who like that sort of thing.
Charles is not my king anyway. As far as I am concerned, Elizabeth was the last proper royal and she had her faults, but I respected her. She could have done so much more for the country and the poorest in Society. Charles could have paid for his own coronation and broken the mould of a very rich monarchy, while the country was on its knees. I hope this is the end of the monarchy or the monarchy is severely restricted and the civil list is stopped altogether. Charles could pay them all a salary. I just don’t like him.
But yet, she was a mastermind to erase white European countries

@@qetounwhich century are you living in? Having a monarchy is such stuff and nonsense.
You were making perfect sense until you said William can save the monarchy. That's giving William a capability he does not possess. William as the Americans would say has failed to launch. Instead of getting on with the job his infantile churlish insistance on going all out to destroy his brother and sister in law out of jealousy and envy has robbed William of the little morsel of commonsense he had been pretending to have. William sadly lacks self awareness, is a poor judge of character - you need only see the fellows he surrounds himself with none fit for purpose, he lacks self control and discipline and is incapable of doing a solid day's work. William has issues and does not have the good sense to seek help. Take heart professor like the poor the monarchy is always with us. That's not tp say William will be King - there's always a next in line or a Regent until as such time Prince George or Princess Charlotte is ready. My money is on Princess Charlotte - Prince Harry is never coming back take him out of the equation.
I agree. William couldn't find his way out of an open paper bag. He doesn't appear to have the desire to.
Will is like his dad (preferring horsey faced women)
And Harry is like his mother (a natural)
Totally agree....the anger and resentment William has shown towards his brother, reveals his self-righteousness, immaturity, and lack of insight or empathy....he lacks the traits of a good leader.
Harry and megan have proved you don't need a monarchy anymore. The other royals should work of their model. Show up do good help the cause invest the time and money. Not just a figure head and expect celebrities to perform and work for your causes and awards them with titles.
Tune in for the Royal Tea, stay for the history lessons. 😃💟
Britain historically does much better with queens. Queen Elizabeth 1, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth 2. If only Anne could have been queen. She would have kept things together. Right now the center is not holding.
I agree
Elizabeth Tudor was a ghastly murderess, never queen in Scotland. Victoria was a German of self-inflated importance & Elizabeth Windsor arrogance well veiled by a glued on smile, Anne was a good horsewoman... What a monstrous regiment...
Lizzie had to adapt with the development of tv and radio, whether she did that successfully or not I don't know, but with the now added pressure of the internet I can't see the monarchy surviving.
Factor in the questionable conduct of Charles, Andrew and William
It is adapting quite well. A lot of the videos of Queen Elizebeth's funeral went around the world with people in awe of the pomp and ceremony that still goes on today. A lot of people are curious about it and there's certainly a few military out there looking at the crisp uniforms of the royal military.
@@Trueo9re Really?
@@Trueo9rethe thing is people do not give pompe pageantry the same admiration they used to. Wile some are curious, a lot of us find it outdated and costly in a time of living crisis. The coronation drew a lot of criticism because of that. So , if the monarchy counts solely on pompe and pageantry to survive. Oufff. We in for a long ride.
@@LMA738 It only drew critisism from those who dislike the monarchy. Everyone else enjoyed it. The monarchy can be traced back, way back, way way back. I'd much prefer to hang onto history than fund politicians with their duck moats and amazon subs. At least the monarchy does bring in tourism.
The royals have not moved with the times.
THEY HAVE LIVED ON BENIFITS FOR TO LONG 😮😮
The "Times" have not always moved in a better direction.
Trinidad & Tobago's Fan locked on
That tantrum he had over the pen was an indication to us of how vile he is or can be over a silly thing that hasn't gone his way.
Writing from Ireland it amazes me that people in the UK think the alternative to a monarch is a President with significant executive powers a la France or the US. There many examples in Europe, where Presidents have similar limited powers to the monarch and are voted in every 7 years or so. It's really not hard.
There are checks and balances having a President! You get to vote them out, when they don’t do a good job! You can impeached a President for crimes or negligence. The president cannot just implement rules by he or she self. We have a Congress and Senate. So laws are different state to state. Right now, America has a severe gun problem, and people elected to Congress that are there to cause problems. The fact that we change leadership every, four or eight yrs, can be good for the country, and WE DO NOT BEND THE KNEE TO ANYONE!💯
Germany is one.
Tis for the English.
@@MsTdci Yes, Germany worked out superbly after 1918 when they got rid of their monarch.
I think that England is done with Monarchy.
The Monarchy reign over the whole of the UK
Yes, there has been too much tack. The late Queen was different. She was respected and loved. Her passing has signaled an end to this tradition. The world has moved on. It's actually pathetic and embarrassing to suggest otherwise clinging on to this nonsence making the country look stupid the state it is in.
Same kind of stuff that was said during the latter half of Queen Victoria's reign. The issue here is that Charles has had to wait an excessively long period to inherit the throne that he hasn't got many good years left.
Charles should have never campaigned against his mother behind her back! He was talking about having her abdicated, so he could be King! It got back to the Queen, so she stayed on the throne until the day she he died! Charles is pissed because Harry wrote his truth, Charles did the same thing and wasn’t cut off from having security or income!🙄🤯

Yes I agree, Harry has what it takes and could have been an excellent king but that’s not going to happen. William seems aimless and without purpose. He doesn’t galvanise the country. He will be led rather than lead.
So who were the Britons that pre-dated the monarchy? The one's who were chased out. Where did they go?
Your answer is in a history book. The English couldn't tolerate a Catholic being next in line for the throne, so they cast about and settled on a protestant, William of Orange. He and his family were persuaded to come to England to become the next king and royal family. None of them even spoke English.
@@margaretcaine4219 Thank you! But you are referring to someone who stayed in place. The host was talking about an earlier period, before the first king. He said they chased them out as Briton was being formed. Those are the ones I'm curious about.
We were never chased out. We are the British people even if we have to speak Anglo-Norman English.
Thanks for the history lesson Prof!
Well said Sir. Well said. ❤️
That’s really interesting Prof Tim I remember 20 years ago my friends and I were working in the tourist industry and the subject of the monarchy came up all of us said we couldn’t see William on the throne . Personally I believe the monarchy died with the Queen because she kept the mystique and her opinions to herself. I believe Edward and Mrs Simpson started the decline followed by Margaret and her risqué behaviour, Charles and Diana then continued the destruction making their personal issues available for public scrutiny . Andrew oiling it and Harry and Meghan making themselves vulnerable by letting the public know their upset . It’s been a drip drip drip of destruction. It’s lost its mystery and shine , just as the Queen mother said “ don’t let the daylight in on magic “ Funnily enough however I do think Harry has the fun loving personality that his mother had that gives him the edge over William who seems much more serious
Monarchy is mental illness on the globe. Harry and Megan were smart to disengage and move for their Peace.
To make a shorter comment, is Harry not welcome because he might give Prince George the idea that he too can reject this and walk away and lead a different life? He doesn't have to be king, maybe that's the real fear of Harry contamination!😮,
I guarantee, at least one possibly two of William’s kids will end up in America or contacting their uncle for help!🙏🏽
Harry has confidence, warmth & influence that William and Charles lack. Before Meghan, when H,W & k used to work together through Heads Together. Harry was the brains of the idea projects they did together. All W&K did was gain credit.
The only way they are going to allow Harry back that's if he abandons M, A & L. Then sent H to all CW Countries to make them happy because he is the only one they like. Then kiss William's feet for the rest of his life.
Harry was the brain ?? Lol
@loisberry-rose5175 I think you could be right! I can't see George as king. It's just my feeling and not logic, but I think he will not want the life of a King!? ?
@@Reba24u What has William done with Heads Together since Harry left?

Charles being the last King isn’t necessarily a bad thing, The UK can reinvent the role of the leader of their country, without the leader being fully supported financially by its people. It’s a job, and should be treated as such, and the salary should represent the job, but the people must trust the leader. Everyone has something to say about the royals because they invest in them, if they didn’t invest as much there would be less chaos, and people could just live. The monarchy is the only western country I’m aware of that is this disgustingly rich for no reason except the people, or other peoples property. Most leaders are paid a salary, their entire family is not cared for, just the leader and his immediate family, and usually that only covers security, and their living expenses, the leaders supplies money for their own vacations, private schools, colleges, (don’t get me wrong when colleges find out a leaders child wants to come, they make room, but the leader still pays, not the citizens, their family cars for their children , any other miscellaneous thing they need. Your children are not the responsibility of every citizen. I just think it could be the slim down monarchy, without the “King” per se unless that is the bloodline you want your leaders to come through, it would be up to the people. An Election or A Rise to Power.
Love your Channel!! Thank you!! No saving the insanity of the FALSEHOODS OF ENTITLEMENT FROSTED with FALSE immunity. Too much unearned income and human trafficking issues. IMO
I believe that there will always be a Royal family in England, but they will become less relevant like their counterparts in Europe. The respect for that family went with the Queen.
It would be too complicated with Commonwealth and all. I think they should definitely slim down a lot and financed themselves,
Funnily enough, I watched a TH-cam video today on who was the first King of England. Not so easy to answer as you might imagine. It was a toss-up between Canute and Athelstan.
Charles will forever be remembered for Diana , that’s just the way it is .
Charles cannot be a real father to his children, how then can he rule over England! He and Bulliam have allowed jealousy to destroy the years of hard work the Queen did . If Charles is the last king, does it mean Bulliam will not be king? Even though Bulliam does not have what it takes and he's too selfish to think beyond himself and his pleasures. The monarchy does need help and they won't ask the only person who can help them,and that is Harry. I pray they realise it on time. And you look really nice today Prof. Your outfit lights up your face and ofcourse the beard is perfect as always . 🙏🏽
This! I say this about Biden. He needs to go home and put his grown son in rehab
What I have been saying for a while. How can he go on the world stage and preach peace and understanding when he can't achieve in his own family.
Remove Harry from the equation. He wants no part of this clown show. Never!
Professor, I love history. I would thoroughly have enjoyed your class I think. Can you share more again sometime? I would like to understand more of England’s Monarchial history. You provoked inquiry when you asked who was the first English king?
As an American I have enjoyed this lesson so much.
The BF destroyed itself. It matters not that the BBC was invited in during the 70s. Social media & the sordid relationships the RF choses to cultivate with tabloids to record its uselessness will bring an end to the monarchy. Further, UK subjects having to finance this lacklustre institution only adds insult to injury. Pity really!
Innovative leadership could reform the monarchy and restore its status & esteem in the UK, the CW & globally. But this is unlikely to come from KC3 & even less likely from the current lazy & irate PoW.
The best option for continuing the monarchy right now would be H&M. But he is not firstborn, and she is unacceptable to UK subjects because of the relentless vitriolic character assassination in UK tabloids for the last 8 years.
That being the case, it is probably best to shut down, and replace it with an elected (or selected) fixed-term president. Of course members of the RF could take part in any such election/selection process.
I really enjoyed this segment. Please do more:)
Why do we need mascots like the RF Professor, monarchy is so undemocratic?
Can we admit that the "majesty" is a con that is no longer needed? These are humans in the monarchy right?
How about what Nostradamus said. That the King’s reign could end prematurely this year.
Then he said a possible abdication or removal. Which will then proceed a man who never expected to be King.
What if William is removed for some reason. Or maybe he decides he doesn’t want to be King.
I jist don’t know what man would take his place because next in line are William’s children.
It’s an interesting thing to think about.
Thank you for this prof very interesting .. ❤
I enjoyed your recitation of the Kings! I call my cat Ethelred
My cat is called Kash. He wasn't named after a king but in our house he certainly has bloody servants
Thank you Professor Tim for the worthwhile historical review! Much appreciated and love from Downunder ⭐
I fear Charles is cruel and he’s living in the past , he can’t talk to he’s own son Harry, he’s nasty , and has temper tantrum’s, and William is addicted to playing PlayStation 5 games and he’s another one who is very immature and living in he’s own world.
It makes perfect sense we would prefer to have a President Blair / Cameron / Truss / Johnson - what could possibly go wrong with that arrangment.
There is a quote that is often attributed to King Farouk of Egypt (and which may or may not be true):
"One day, there will be five kings in the world: four in the deck of cards and the King of England."
Oliver Cromwell ended the aura of semi-divine monarchs with godlike powers. He showed them to be mortal and replaceable. Even though they re-constituted the monarch with Cromwell's demise the true mystique of royal power had passed. It was nostalgia from then on.
It wasn't just nostalgia that led to the Restoration. Life under Cromwell's military junta was depressing. Life under the Restoration was better.
One of the Prof's more thoughtful and thought-provoking monologues which sadly stumbled at the very end over Brexit; having argued the benefits of a monarch defining a country rather than a flag, to then to say leaving the EU, a supranational state very much defined by a flag, is about redefining ourselves is a rather odd and unexexplained statement. Though many EU supporters do tend to take themselves very seriously, so that lends credence to his theory about the difference between flag-defined and people-defined states.
Professor, I don’t think William has shown the capacity to influence change. He seems stuck in cemented boots to the past. I know that change is scary; I believe his lack confidence and self awareness along with engagement with destructive, out of touch courtiers will continue.
Seems unlikely, given how invested in the Royal Family, the rest of the establishment is. I reckon George might be - but I won't be around to see it.
See my predictions are spot on.
Harry would make an amazing King but he doesn’t want the role, it’s cursed. Kate Middleton couldn’t cope with it, so she has left, she sees it for what it is and did a runner. I don’t think she has got cancer.
When Kings had to fight and risk all, it served a purpose. Only a truly gifted statesman with a stable psyche could presently give the illusion of a monarchy's need. Charles is not that man. His dependence on approval and insecurities have damaged the Windsors since he married Diana. I don't believe in monarchy as a form of modern government. That said, Elizabeth was made for that very od job.
So True
Some Men are born""GREAT".OTHERS ACHEIVED "GREATNESS"WHILE SOME HAVE ""GREATNESS"BESTOWED UPON THEM.CHARLES UNFORTUNATELY ISNT NONE OF THEM.HE IS THE BEGINNING AND, END ,AND CAUSES OF "MANY COMEDY OF ERRORS..WILLIAM AS I SEE NOW.,HIS CHARACTER IS THAT OF CHARLES.SINS OF FATHER, FOLLOWS "SON"
I'm the only King in the village!
Harry would be excellent.
And what's more his queen is now a Nigerian princess in her OWN RIGHT. It's official.
Do we really need to worship other human beings ,especially when they are distant from everyday life in today's society , real monarchs are down there with the people lifting them up , by the way William the corn curer was a podiatrist 😂
No one thinks that King Charles is a god, nor are they required to think so. You’re thinking of Communist North Korea, where the Kim family have literally become deities.
I'm so glad you have given the history of Great Britain lovely to hear and I still think it's needed specially in this day and age
Tim, what makes me laugh is the traditional conception of "the royal blood". Looking at royal DNA- their blood is all over the place. They are not royal , unless it means European thru&thru, but going for Brexit😂 Seriously🤷🤦Saying that...UK has been my home in 90's, that's why it is sad really.....all of it
My goodness I would to sit in on your history class your awesome ❤
You make history utterly fascinating, Doc. Very groovy 😎.
Athelstan, grandson of Alfred the Great, was the first true king of the whole of England
He had two coronations. The first was when he was crowned King of Wessex.
The second coronation came in Bath after he had united all the kingdoms (regions) into one Kingdom of England.
Thank you for an interesting lecture free of charge. Although democracy has been fought for centuries, we have reached a point where democracy is to be defended and monarchy, a remnant from history, as you put it, no longer satisfies 21st century's concept of how nations should be governed and they should relate with other countries. When monarchy becomes the thing to be seen, like the Effel Tower or the British museum, it is time to move on.
The monarchy is facing challenges. If what I'm hearing is true, William will have to deal with a lot, especially with a very sick father, a very sick wife, and three young children. How will he handle these upcoming challenges? It's better to prevent problems than to deal with them later. The royal family might either fade away or turn the responsibilities over to Harry. When reality sets in, the family will come to their senses. Truth is bitter, but it must be spoken. From a distance, one can anticipate the unforeseen challenges that lie ahead.
Missing wife 🤨
The RF consists of C3, Cam, W, K and their 3 kids....that's what they wanted
Are you sure there’s only 3 children 👀 because it wasn’t George carrying Charles robe when he was crowned despite that duty supposedly reserved for the king in waiting 😖
Kate is MIA, never to return
@@user-rt9xu4zu9dAllegedly, like father, like son, he's keeping his mistress close until the right time comes to make an announcement.
They have so many secrets, just heard Catherine had twins , Charlotte had a twin sister which was taken at birth. Catherine was told she died. Apparently, William gave to Rose, who is Iris, please find out.
Don’t be silly
I believe the Pentagon ,s nickname for the UK is Ruritania.
Ironside was a really good US tv show :P I used to watch it back in the 1970's
Just had a post removed for stating the fact that there never has been a king of Scotland. Our monarchs are of Scots, hence Robert and Mary to state the most obvious.
Truth is often removed from & by media outlets ~ unless it serves the interests of the rich ruling classes: remember to become royalty is the dream of every dictator. Modern Scotland has no need of monarchs.
For centuries the monarchy has been deeply entrenched in the constitution of England/Britain. There have been been such crises before, 1714, 1688, 1649, 1553. The monarchy survived. The only way to overcome the constitutional/legal depth of the monarchy is through revolution (viz a viz, Russian, France). I do not see that happening in Britain.
When discussing an article, it is useful to include a link in the description. I looked, but could not find.
I really enjoy this channel 🤩 all the way , from southern Cali 🌴😍
I am still quite annoyed about the Norman Conquest. How in God's name a bunch of Frenchified Vikings mark the start of a "proper" England defeats me. Blasted foreign imposition.
The English are all immigrants! Before the Normans. the Saxons had only been here for 500years! No time at all in history.
@@jackiecarter5193 Indeed. What is a "proper Englishman" even today. I am still annoyed about the Normans though.
@@jackiecarter5193 The majority of Englishmen are of Viking heritage, not Saxon. Try saying that in Yorkshire.
@@jackiecarter5193 The Maoris have been in New Zealand since no earlier than 1250. Try telling them they're immigrants.
The DNA of the British Isles has been studied extensively. It shows that, overall, most English people are genetically descended from people who were on this island before the Romans arrived.
The Romans created "kings" like Cogidubnus, as puppet governors. Boadaceia was an early queen, who fought Julius Caesar.
What are the odds at the bookies for William being the last king of England?
Professor, thanks for the history lesson. Viewed from the north the establishment has always had its heart in Wessex and London. We're not a conquered territory like Wales but we're an add-on. I live in Berwick upon Tweed, once an immensely important fortified frontier town now a stop on the main line from London to Edinburgh under threat of losing its manned station. Surely we are more than our head of state.
Let's hope so
The first king of England was Ethelread.
The current monarchy is a bit of a mess. Seems like nobody is in charge.
That´s a correct observation.
Camilla is in charge that's why it's run amuck of course Charles has never been a help in popularity ever too bad William can't get it together but I don't think he realizes how much Harry made him who he was , he seemed a better person when Harry was around
Army calls this SNAFU
The British people must decide the future and the role of RF.
