I speak to many academic types who are British and they get weirded out when I ask them about the royalty and tell me they "try to forget the fact that they live in a country with Kings and Queens".
Interesting 🤔 these interviews changed my (Mitch) feelings a bit. I’m not as anti-monarchy as I used to be, mainly because I see that the core royal family stay out of politics and are focusing on world issues, for the most part, which I can definitely get behind
@@EasyEnglishVideos I see, I think I understand when people say they find them to be a stabilising institution, especially during these turbulent times.
Wonder what Isi thinks about das Königreich haha
@@dhruva8106 I (Isi) think the monarchy is an outdated concept. However, when I compare it to the government actions on certain topics, (climate change etc...) I'm glad that they, at least, support good causes.
@@EasyEnglishVideos Yeah, I would tend to agree. Not sure how my opinion will evolve as I age though.
Would you rather we become a republic & done away with the royals in favour of a president..
I was born in England in the early 1940's I have no opinion of the Royals. I do not know them, I have not met them, I consider News Papers as no more than fictional comics and I do not watch programs about them on TV.
As an American, I find this fascinating… thank you!
Thank you so much for your all efforts, and sharings and interest.
Great video! I like how you asked people with so many different accents 😊
Thanks Emma! Keep up the great work with your channel 🙌🙌🙌
Amazing good questions and answers, thank you for the video.
Thanks for your support!
@@EasyEnglishVideos Your tone is perfect for us, Sir.
Good to know :)
What an interesting video, more like this please.
Thank you for this video.
🙌
Good video Mitch. I think the royal family is like the referee of our society. They also stop many politicians action without sense
Thanks Francisco! That’s a good way to put it, I’m not sure I agree to having a monarchy but at least the core show a good example of acting for the community and especially for climate change
Yes, I agree with you and your point of view. Nowadays, it is true we think about monarchy as a very traditional institution but in my opinion, necessary or not, I feel they balance the society
Great video 💝.. Can I know what's meant by "There're a few waters on the edges"?
Thanks for your support! "There're a few wasters on the edges" - it generally translates to "there are some useless people outside of the core royal family". We cover the words and phrase "wasters" and "on the edges" in our Patreon, along with many others in all our previous episodes. If you are interested, please visit www.patreon.com/easyenglishvideos
In Thailand, you will get jailed for life if u ask out like this for sure. It is good for British to be able to express their opinions freely in public.
I 100% take this for granted… thanks for your support 🙌
Thats why they must be overthrown in Thailand
The queen is the most valuable person of last and this century, she is a true live treasure 🤩
Britts are lucky to have it!
i’d argue that marie curie did a lot more valuable work than elizabeth ii but okay
@@steveashworth4615 Nope. Queen Elizabeth II did more. 🙂
She now rots in hell.
I believe the Royal Family represents a solid foundation of culture and tradition, and without our culture and our traditions, then who are we as a people? So, I think they are actually important for our identity.
Great point. We need our monarchy more than ever before due to the rise of unecessary nationalism in various forms across Scotlabd, England and Wales since abd long before Brexit. The Royal Family, especially the likes of William and Kate, set good Christian examples to so many British citizens by supporting many worthwhile charities and irganisatiobs that stand for common good. The British Royal Family still remain ambassadors for Gt Britain when they visit other states or the remaining Commonwealth nations. It doesn't matter what walk of life you are in or how much money you or don't have, the monarchy also remains intrinsic to the democratic process across the four nations which make-up the UK.
please, where is the place of the second corresponding?
It’s all filmed along the undercliff walk in Brighton
13:08 - 13:22 dando el oral de cambio climático jajaajja
"I dunno". que significa? Es como el i don't know pero de una manera más fácil?
Perfect! "I dunno" = "I don't know"

@@EasyEnglishVideos thank you!

There would be more tourists if we opened up the grand homes palaces. RF have 19 grand home at their disposal security costs over £100 million
At to me ,I suppose that the royal family is the symbole of united kingdom's civilisation , morover the queen Elizabeth is one of the wises people around the world and very good leader..
If I were British I would be neutral to the Royal Family of Britain because they have advantages and disadvantages. For instance, think about the marriage of William and Kate Middleton, if I remember correctly their marriage was watched by at least over a billion people all around the world on TV and this is a great advertisement for the UK as a country. Maybe you would think we are in the 21st century and there is no need for the Royal Family but you can not ignore that they making the country very popular all around the world.
They make our country a anti-democratic laughingstock.
I love them
You are insane.
all that I know about the royal family is saw in the series the Crow in Netflix and I think is not really enough to give a point of view.
I’d rather have King Charles than a President. I’m a royalist at heart ❤️
You don't need to be a Royalist to respect the important position that the Royal Family play within British society, regardless of whatever walk of life you are in. Most of them, particularly Charles, Kate and William set good Christian examples to others from all walks of life, without their being any question marks surrounding the validity of their involvement in helping those there, in many cases, less fortunate than themselves.
I'd rather have a head of state that was voted in by the public, and not born the head of state because it came out of the right vagina in the right order.
The British royal family has a lot works to do in the globe, i think. They represent not only the british, but also the commonwealth of English nations, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealands, and etc. Not talking about political leadership, but more like a spiritual leadership for the english-influenced countries in the world.
You need to read more 😉
@@MileRocG what subjects should i read more in your opinion?
Good tanku❤

Thanks for the video, the points of view were super interesting! For me the monarchy is something totally anachronistic. I can assume it's also a generational thing, the only person who wasn't totally in favor was the young girl, maybe in 40 years she'll change her mind and support the royal family too 😅 I think in modern democracies there doesn't have to be any type of caste, whose only merit is genealogy. And they also enjoy a kind of immunity and absolute privilege which from my point of view does not make sense. Thank you very much again.
I don’t think it necessarily comes down to generation. This is a tiny number of people who have been asked, and I think there are very diverse opinions about them across the generations here, apart from the much older generations, who lived through the Second World War. I think a lot of people don\’t really see the point in them, apart from the fact that they bring in huge amounts of revenue from tourists each year. I think a lot of people admire the Queen, as she has worked so very hard to try and be a good queen, but maybe don’t see there’s really a place for them any more, as a lot of people don’t believe in the kind of hierarchy that they represent.
We’ll if you don’t want a monarchy then I suggest you go live in a country like France or the US I’m more than happy with the Royals
How patronizing and condescending to say that she'll change her mind.
Maybe YOU will change your mind, Ben. I'm three times her age, and I've been against paying for those self-important leeches, my entire life.
@@janice506 I'm afraid it's not up to you, Janice. If the majority of people want them, gone, then they're gone.
Also, I notice you're a fellow Scot. The majority of us Scots already oppose the monarchy. It's barely above 30% of Scottish people who support them, these days.
Don't you find it strange that you are a second class citizen? And that someone out there is born with more privileges and rights and advantages than you? That is so fucking weird. Royalties shouldn't exist in modern societies.
That happens whether you got a monarchy or not. Cheers from America
trust me these weird simps are going to die out soon and we’ll get rid of these glorified kardashians the moment we can
I absolutely agree. Britain's greatest shame is that we still have a pathetic monarchy, and so many still fawn over them.
Fortunately, the trend is growing against them. We may become a republic in the next couple of decades. Its support now is hovering around 50% in the last two public surveys. It's 35% in Scotland.
They are born with rights and privileges not because they want to but because they have been a huge contributor to Britain's history ever since the starting period the monarchy was established. The properties and what they owned are the fruits of their ancestors hardwork and contributions. To have a monarchy similar to UK is much better compared to having a democratic government yet a failure to economic growth, tourism and unity. To oversee what are the good impact of 🇬🇧 monarchy to the commonwealth is very sad. They help people through charity works, keep the environment better through planting trees, flowers and etc., they provide an aid medical, political, advices and supports the Prime Minister, adjust their rules to at least be more open to the public and many more that are a lot to be mentioned in one reply. Just because you see them have better lives than yours, doesn't mean they are nothing. Read and research about them first to understand the importance of their existence.
Most of the people of the UK believe the Monarchy should end
God save the King 👑
From what? He lives in riches in a palace with hundreds of guards and will never face starvation or poverty. The king is pretty damn saved. He don't need no more.
From drowning in his own wealth?
This interview appears to be one-sided. Almost all of them are over 40. I do not think young people are that much of a fan of the Royals. People over 40 went through a completely different time.The UK back then was still relatively powerful. But as science and technology advance, where will the royal family stand? Just like religions, the more advanced a civilization become, the less religious people are.
Yea because sadly our children are more welcoming than most adults. That the only hope for this world
My English (he prefers Anglo) husband, hates the royals, coz he says "they don't work, they think they're better, they have all the money. They aren't English either"
Nobody I know is pro-monarchy and I live in Brighton.
As an American, i’d like to say that I prefer monarchy over republic.
Here in Brazil, for example, we have a lot of political party, almost 100 tributes and we don’t see the return on people’s life. The essence of what I’m trying do express is, although the problems in the monarchy, comparing to the republic form, the first one is away better.
Brazil one time have Don Pedro II, the greatest Brazilian of all time, but at 1889 we suffer a military coup and the consequences of that still at the present time. Lula, Dilma And Bolsonaro are the recents examples of how bad are the presidentas in our country.
For sure, i dream one day we become a monarchy again or the political here changes, like depose the presidential system to the parliamentary or semi-presidential system. But I think it’s really hard to do.
For while, all I have is hope. Just to register, that I’m proud to be Brazilian and the cool things we have here, because I could have been born in a worst country, but I can’t blind myself to the problems that we have here. So, try to see the good side of the British monarchy’s and appreciate the best of you.
The Royal Family isn’t British though?
correct. all the royal families are all inbred to the point where nationality is irrelevant
God save the monarchy
They are overated .
Unpopular opinion: I am in principle against monarchies. We need to let the politicians leave off the people and not just one family. 🙃 Personally I would remove the titles from Charles, Camila, Megan and Harry. Let them be commoners. The others are fine! And yes I would argue the monarchy is very important for the Brits because that is how they continue to maintain their colonies, they call it commonwealth. Brits are and were clever. Up until leaving the EU but then again they were never really in it!!! 🥸
