"True Nobility is not being HIGHER than your fellow man but being better than your former self!"
And that's the word on that 💯💯💯
Words we should all live by
Hallelujah, I've been saying this for years. You cannot believe that all people are created equal AND have royalty... These concepts are mutually exclusive.
I totally agree with u. All this royal bullshit. That's not why our ancestors fought for independence.
royals provide god's will on the sinful earth
oh, but you will absolutely love our european atheism thing... It's soooo liberal
@@oydaladno4992 I believe in god but you are just spitting non sense. Read about Africa and India history and u will understand what royal family did.
I agree but I don't mind it because being royal is so boring and such a nightmare I actually pity them. Unless you're really poor or sick those royals are worse off than you. 😂
@@jaisanatanbhakti And look what you got in exchange. Who is it that's in power in the Whitehouse right now?
Who’s here after the Oprah interview, they gave John Oliver credit in the news but I haven’t seen anyone give Bill credit for saying this about a year ago.
As a Brit I can tell you that a great many of us have been saying the same thing for centuries we just don't have our own tv show, to us this is not a new lightbulb moment at all
Been saying this since this was announced. They should ALL step back. Royalty has no place in the modern world. No gods or kings, only man.
Thought you said no Kings. The only leader of man is one that actually follows thru with the will of the people. Name one. The rest act as Kings.
Did you just quote Bioshock?
The people have to change their form of government, they've been fine with it all this time even Americans love royalty news.
@@willhiggins9563 Yes. Yes I did.
......and Trump
I Agreed 100%!! Enough with “your highnesses and bows”!!!
They've just removed themselves from being HRH's. More modern than you think. Paying back the millions spent on the house Frogmore Cottage as well. Both are already millionaires in their own right. See you both in Canada.
The last line "Just keep your kids away from prince Andrew" got me hahaha😂
And Prince Andrew isn't as bad
as Donald Trump, Howard Stern

No humans are higher by birth. Couldn't be more true!!
only exception...trump
Bill is telling the truth
But some humans are richer by birth. Meghan and Harry want to be financially self-supporting - all very laudable. But until then, they will just have to manage on her earnings as a jobbing actress - plus the lotsa-money they get from his dad - and the millions he inherited from his mother. It's going to be tough.
Except everyone loves birthright citizenship in the US.
@@pvsutton3126 wealth can be lost, even if you are born rich you can find yourself in poverty if you don't manage your money well, being a royal however is something that no one, except the pope, can take away from you. away from you
Omg everything I've always thought about but couldn't Express so succinctly
*" I can see your whole history in your eyes. You were born with nothing,*
*so you've had to struggle, and connive, and claw your way to power.*

Bill is brilliant and in between his comedic daggers are life lessons. This was the best example. We do not have to be prisoners to the traditions and beliefs of our families. One life. Live it on your terms. Love you, Bill!

Goddamn, that Diana's wild ride joke was brutal
Especially followed by Prince Perv because for what Diana knew, she feared for her life. I agree with Bill but Diana was an exception. I was a girl when she married and I shared the experience with my mom. That is the magical illusion of it all. But, Diana used her position to help soo many others, to bring awareness to serious issues and to be a role model to young women. Until...
If her sons have a different idea as how to run their lives, they have earned it!
"Royal Blood" was something important once. They felt that there were no defects or "blood sickness" that would contaminate the blood line and they wanted to keep it that way. This was the very opposite of what their subjects had lived with. This is why hemophilia, found in the current Royal Blood Line, proves that there was a switcheroo back in the day..
when he said to just keep the kids away from prince andrew the laugh came out so fast i ended up choking and laughing and coughing , bill tried to kill me😂😂😂🤣🤣.
Someone had to say it....it's about time....The Diana joke was hilariously brutal in true Bill Maher form...
Jokes are only divided on good and bad and this one was pretty good!
@John Shirley Facts! 😂😂
I've wondered this very thing since I was 5 years old. Never could understand why people want to pretend a few are somehow above the rest of us. It's insane and born out of fear.
The UK has royalty, the US have celebrities.
boy! and I thought I'd be the only one, you! make me feel better ..
In earlier times the King, Queen, Chief, Tribal head were the bringers if wisdom. As we’ve become more conscious the need for others to determine your life. Trump, Putin, Xi, Jong Un, all dictators are trying to force us to do what they want for their benefit. It’s coming to an end, help it along by getting rid of Trump and the Republicans.
Maina Fridman To be an American is to be provincial and uninterested in the rest of the world. That is how the majority of them behave. There are many curious and intelligent Americans who don’t really fit in there, and I know a few who left for countries like New Zealand after Trump’s win in 2016.
J G You will like this. Rumi was a Persian poet, a Zoroastrian, a follower of Zarathustra the great Persian mystic and from whence the Magi came to see the baby born in Bethlehem during the reign of Herod. I used it as a motto when I turned 60 15 years ago and created the Ancient and Venerable Order of OLD., our identifying gesture being this 🖕. He wrote, ‘To be in the world but not Of it, free from Greed, Ambition, Intellectual Pride, Blind Obedience to Custom and Awe of those of higher rank. 🙂
I find it hilarious (and kinda pathetic) how invested some Americans are in the Royals.

I really resonate with what he was saying at first, I moved 3000 kms away from my family just to have some goddamn peace! I've actually found out who I am separate from my family and turns out I'm a pretty good guy without all the religious bs. Funny thing is I see Bill as father figure who will always be honest with me and tell me what I need to hear. I fucking love him.

@@missd2657 yes there are royals all over magazines in the USA.
Just announced today that they will longer use their "royal" titles. So maybe harry and megan are practicing what they preach 🤷🏾♂️
Still keeping Duke and Duchess??????? that is not giving up royal titles!!
I think they became aware of the optics after Bill's piece last night.
@@lowesonia8551 But they wont be using the royal highness titles. They are also no loner using tax dollars and want to pay back tax money used to refurbish the cottage.
"His or Her Royal Highness" is only used while in the performance of royal duties. Harry is still a prince and the duke of Sussex and Megs is still the duchess of Sussex. They are keeping Frogmore Cottage and funding from Prince Charles. Nothing has been taken from them and they haven't given up anything. Megs wanted to use HRH as her brand, but the royals do *not* get paid to work with brands and can’t be seen to be influenced by sponsorship deals.
Harry and Meg are still the president and vice president of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust and are establishing additional foundations much like the Soros and Clinton foundations. Consider who is hosting them in Canada and who has been advising them. This is a move by the Queen to squirrel away and launder trafficking monies. Who knows what will happen to the monarchy upon the death of the queen.

2 cents here. What about sports celebrities , musicians , movie actors/ actresses ? Lots of people bow way way down for them. Are they not considered and referred to as " Royalty "? Just sayin.
You just want to bow to Frau Pantsuit.
The "50 ways to leave your mother" line is a referance to the Paul Simon song "50 ways to lose your lover". Good song.
"His Excellency" should go bye-bye too. I keep seeing these Trumpers saying Don Jr 2024 & Ivanka 2028. We fought a war to stop monarch rule, we damn sure don't need to go back to one.
Those die hard pro-Trumpers, are in the minority..Most can't conceive of putting another trump in the WH ! Especially now that he's impeached..

Imagine, really imagine JUST for one second, in the year 2020 there are still families who call themselves kings and queens! WTF?!!
Imagine! It is 2020 and a criminal "Bozo" calls himself "President of the United States of America." I'd feel better about criticizing the Royals if we didn't have our own brand of Royals running our government right now!
Imagine a nation that hands out guns to its people which then kill 35,000 a yr.

Sometimes you speak DIRECTLY to me, Bill. I recently made this really tough decision, questioned it and wondered if I was right for my decision to leave my family. Yes, there are many reasons leading up to my departure, but I still doubted myself. I went with my gut, who has never failed me - it's my insecurities that does - and quit them. And then I see this clip, making me feel a whole lot better. Thank you, Bill, sincerely. This spoke directly to me.
"The monarchy is the UK's greatest tourist attraction"
*laughs in french*
Trust me mate, alot of us over here in britain either don't like the monarchy or couldn't give a fuck about them, the majority of people that fawn over them are middle aged women and stuffy old aristocrats, most of us despise having to pay for their existence.
-- wait... did you just agree with someone from france?!
@@JohnWhiteHere I know, i do feel abit sick. agreeing with the french is more treasonous than speaking ill of the royals.
@@---cf9bj two idiots going for the retarded cliches, to look smart, while speaking a germanic language, largely changed by french to what it is nowadays 👍
Honestly, it would be even more of an attraction if there was no family. The castles would be empty and tours could be held through them. Making a lot more money than people just gawking from outside the gate.
The amazing thing is many British people agree with Bill!
Still the majority favours Monarchy
But not Harry.
He just leaves because his wife can't handle it.
Deekshant Belwal Majority Of British People Are Racist :- From Wikipedia :-
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_the_United_Kingdom
“Studies published in 2014 and 2015 claim racism is on the rise in the UK, with more than one third of those polled admitting they are racially prejudiced.”
So, no majority.

Many Brits have even gone on record saying they're tired of the Royal Family business, and that they should get real jobs. The monarchy ain't gonna last much longer.
@Trousersnake Pliskin maybe start with a republic then perhaps that would be a good direction
"Fire your family!"(and relatives in general)😂 Best advice EVER. Start your own traditions; live YOUR best life.
I'm good with my dad's side of the family. Mom is a narcissist and Drumpf voter, not much commonality there... you choose your own family as an adult. I respect her. My friends are everything to me.
@@AdamWestish I mean there's always the biological aspect of the family relations that's immutable for lifetime and also in terms of custody and some legal matters. You may not get along with them, but they're still related to you in blood.
I don't know if it's such great advice. The great advantage of a family is that you hate them. If you hate your neighbour, you can just avoid him. But you can't avoid your uncle on your aunt's birthday. That forces you out of your bubble and teaches you civility. Which is the same as to say that it makes you human. I think that this is a point a conservative could make, but then, that's why I love having conversations with genuine conservatives.
@@koalabandit9166 You're arguing that your loathing for your family forces you to be civil and polite which is true.
@@silenttruth3932 Yes. At least civil, and quite possibly tolerant. That's not a minor thing.

And it would actually be a compliment
@@stemup And true!
5:07 Versailles is a perfect exemple of that
Bill nailed it! I can never understand the fascination of a forward thinking modern society like the UK with maintaining the monarchy. It shows that even educated people can be brainwashed to accepting almost anything
Better than a President.
This is the crux of the issue with Harry and Meghan. Their beef is not that the Royal Family is racist etc. Their beef is that the piece of the pie they were being given wasn't big enough. They don't really reject the system (or they would have given back Frogmore Cottage without being asked), their complaint is that they aren't privileged enough!
"Diana's Wild Ride," had me dying lmao
Damn, he slapped around the Royal Family like it was personal.
"I think the woke have been asleep." DAMN. That's an awesome drop
I’d love to see Ricky Gervaise on this show soon
End oligarchy everywhere.
Monarchy and Oligarchy are different things but agreed
I agree, but they virtually have no power at this point. They're basically tourist attractions.
New Media Productions It’s bad enough it still exits in the Arab world but I’m amazed the UK still has a royal family. The concept of royalty is utterly asinine. It’s not personal. I’d rather associate with the royal family than the Kardashians but it would be the same thing if the descendants of George Washington lived in DC in some palatial palace on the taxpayers dime.
@@Blunder03 ya but they funnel tones of money from the public and hoard a shit ton of gold from other nations. It's like having a jobless grandmother but you have to give her most of your income because she can't be seen eating "normal" foods.... Actually that's exactly what is like.
It is amazing to me that the Dutch still have, and love, a royal family.
We tremendously admire how they abandon the country in its hour of need and then talk to us on the radio. It shows they care.
...why shouldn't they?...
People need royals like a fish needs a bicycle.
A king with mostly ceremonial duties can also by a unifying as stable factor in a country. More than a president, because a king has to remain neutral in all political issues. There are good presidents that stand above the parties and aren't swayed by the issues of the day, but there are also presidents that are idiots like Trump or presidents with dictatorial streaks like Putin, Erdogan and Trump
@@rvdb7363 At least a President is not in office for life,he is not just a figure head,because who in their right mind wants to have one person ruling over them for life,but can't take a stand on any important issues in ones life?A queen or King is there until they die,all they do is cut ribbons and a little charity work for you subjects and peasants.
@@rvdb7363 Great how you picked examples only from Presidential systems (you forgot Microbrain) and no Parliamentary ones like Italy, where the President serves perfectly well in ceremonial duties without the ridiculous notion of blood lines and divine right to rule. By the way, British monarchy has far more rights than they let on. The ceremonial tag is just a fig leaf. Heck, the Queen still drives a Rover and is immune from prosecution - Bill should probably avoid her domains.
@@donnablack2589 only in the UK does a royal stay in the throne until they die. In other countries they retire. And not all of them stand above the people the way you think. You should google king Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. There is lots of footage of him participating in traditional games on the national holiday and even some toilet bowl throwing.
I am okay with the current system with a king as head of state, because it works. But if my country decides to get rid of him, I could live with that as well. Although I would want strict limits on the power of a president as well. We don't want a situation here like with Orbán, Putin, Erdogan, Bolsonaro etc. So basically a ribbon cutter with a fixed term and some limited powers, like Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the president of Germany.
@@donnablack2589 Royals dont rule, they represent the country as the unifier. The queen doesnt pass laws.
In the past kinds didn't rule much either. Their job was to preserve traditions and to protect the land. If they failed to do so it was off with their head.
Actually, they will no longer be “his and her highness.”
Actually, no. They will retain their titles, just not use them. It's all a bit of a cop out really.

I rejected my family’s religion when I moved out of my parents’ house to go to college. As much as they tried to force it on me I decided it wasn’t something I had any interest in.
I actually kind of feel sorry for Prince Chuckie. He’s still working for his mother in the family business in his 70’s. That’s gotta suck.
Susan Kay : if Chuckie becomes king that could spell the end of the monarchy in Britain, which is a good thing. As Bill Maher said, it is an outdated institution whose customs are at distinct odds with modern society. Maybe Harry and Meghan stepping back from their royal duties will hopefully cause the British people to question the need for the monarchy besides being a tourist attraction and fodder for the Fleet Street tabloids.

The government makes far, far more off these properties than the royal family gets-to the point that, if that relationship were ever ended, and the leasing of the Crown Estates stopped, it would either bankrupt the government or cause a significant increase in taxes. The UK is not propping up the royal family, it's the other way around.
He wants to keep his money so he keeps his foot in the royal palace while claiming hes done with that life. Hypocrite
They didn't leave their family; they left HIS family.
What are you talking about?
She doesn’t talk to her own family either!
What they're actually trying to leave is the scumbag media paparazzi who murdered his mother and seem intent on trying the same with his wife. Can anyone blame him, I dont. For someone who's been in charge of an Apache gunship I think he's shown remarkable restraint
she left her family years ago, except her Mom.
@@darrenlowe3445 No that's not correct! She doesn't get along with her paternal side of the family! She gets on with her Mum and maternal side! So let's get that right!!!
Kalin Datchev no kidding. That narcissist
I'm a Brit and I quite agree, Royalty might have been relevant in medieval times but it needs to be abolished in this modern age.
So on board with this “think outside the crib” idea.
Bill!
You should have mentioned, along with Stonehenge, that Chester Zoo attracts more visitors than Buckingham Palace too.
Goes back to a time when " Royalty" meant having the biggest army..
And the most ruthless thug of a leader.
Not really. But lots of kings great and small.
Long overdue the calling out of this joke of a family! And to think taxpayers foot the bill of these buffoons. But then again, we got Trump......
Joseph Lauren “Blah blah stock market blah blah black unemployment”. Same thing every time. Like you actually give two shits about black unemployment. Black unemployment has been on a steady decline for close to a decade now. It had absolutely nothing to do with Trump. But since you all seem to think so, what initiatives or bills did Trump pass to help with his supporters favorite talking point?
He’s put NOTHING in my pocket. But his buddies are getting rich.
An entire segment without the president's name? What?
What a refreshing change!
1 time since 2015
Meghan doesn't have to wear those silly hats anymore.
She may wear them if she likes and wishes. It's got nothing to do with what Bill was saying.
MeGain is a fucking gold digger, my way highway bitch. She want privacy and normal life? Why then wouldn't she just shut the fuck up, get out of the limelight and news on every corner of the net and live quietly ever after, working actually?
That’s why my fam and I live on two continents
Yup, she married him because he's 'a nice guy'.
Absolutely.
So was his great uncle!
@Cpt Fleck Ummmmmmmmmmmm no he's not!
@Cpt Fleck It was a dress up party you banana... you fucking trump supporter! YOU ARE SO FUCKING GULLIBLE you fucking Yank!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@EscanV Agree with all except the Yank. Pretty sure he's from the south lol
"Diana's wild ride" -- through a long dark tunnel of no return ...
I’ve said all this myself in essence (just not as funny) but because I’m English and think this I’m apparently a communist
Deeply communist places like... Austria.
If France can exist without their former monarchy, so can the UK. The U.S. was established in the 18th century deliberately without a monarchy for a very good reason. No one should ever be expected to bow to another. The only way to have any sort of sense of we are all equal under the law.
What I don't get is why any American is infatuated with the whole royalty thing.
...or someone who doesnt understand history.
It's too bad you can't call yourself a Republican, because that party across the Pond has ruined that name.
Pork and sauerkraut on new year's is a PA Dutch tradition for good luck.
@whaledog77 I only eat a forkful for luck. I can't stand cabbage in any form.
Harry couldn't take the sleezy men in his grandma's house like father and uncle🕵️🙈🙊
This was a great New Rules segment. Of all the pernicious ideas in history, the notion of tradition is probably one of the worst, because it has been used as a rationale for some of the worst abuses of power.
imagine bowing to another person gtfo
CALLME FAYFAY : GTFO indeed!
To be legally inferior, not to mention forced to pledge loyalty to another human ( who did nothing to earn it) is just too fucked up for words
But to English people, who don't known anything different, is a hard pill to swallow ( not all of them tho)
They LL get there. Times are changing
*They think we are stupid for not having nationalized health care, just as much as we think they are blind if they can't see the insanity behind a monarchy*
The Japanese do it all the time...got nothing to do with royalty, you know?
It's a sign of respect.
@@o.b.7217 I was thinking about that. I think I know one or two people, who deserve it. But other than that...
@@o.b.7217 I agree. Ethiopians do it as well. And I respectfully bow also. I don't know to anyone else though. I guess I can say, culturally aware
They want all the perks of being royal with none of the responsibility
Shocker: Her Majesty stinks up the bathroom same as everybody else.
No... her majesty poop comes out of century old organs it stinks waaaaay worse
She has a tushy cleaner...
Oops, I ended up in the kindergarten section...
How dare you, sir!
No ♻️she uses potpourri 🎉🎆❗️
Think outside the crib. There must be 50 ways to leave your mother!
When the Old Bat puts her spoon down we’re done 😂
I'm British and 💯 behind Harry and Meghan. I haven't met anyone who isn't although Piers Morgan is determined to push it as news A LOT
@Harry Lee Are you making some sort of reference to a TV show like i dunno Downton Abbey or something? because what you wrote made zero sense in the modern world
You've not looked hard enough then aot of us British thank god they have gone get out more
@@carljones7466 I'm sorry who are you aiming this comment at?
@@A-small-amount-of-peas the entire royal family are vermin
@@carljones7466 yeah I'm not their biggest fan. Try directing those comments at people who like them
As an Aussie who voted yes in 2000 for an Australian republic I say "darn tootin"
Prescient. They gave up "your highness" while this was airing.
YES YES AND HELLS YEAH !
Yet respect of one's Elders also show's
Respect.
You just know that on Diana's Wild Ride there will be a bunch of park employees chasing after you to take your picture.
"Not bat-shit crazy". I wish I had put that on a t-shirt back when I had the credibility to pull it off.
Info: The woman doing the curtsey in front of the belgian queen is actually herself royal... she is the crown princess of Denmark, Mary. Behind her stands her husband, the crown prince Frederik, and next to him the queen of Denmark, Margrethe II...
We were just dying to know!
@@peggystoutemorin4529 You get a "meh" for trying.
kittyminovitch except the Danes here😁
I think sometimes the yanks think that hilarious "backward" Britain is the only country with a monarchy. I'm sure a lot don't realise Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco, Lichtenstein and Spain all have constitutional monarchies, never mind elsewhere in the World.
This is all fine & good and I can certainly see where Bill is coming from. But the reason why Harry & Meghan are distancing themselves from the Royal family is not out of any sort of objection to the concept of royalty. Its more due to how Meghan became such a punching bag for British Tabloids (in which there are some slightly racist double standards considering how they are considerably nicer to Catherine. Dosn't help that it is often said how Meghan is being used as a scapegoat to distract on how Prince Andrew is poorly covering up his history with Jeffrey Epstein). So in other words the real reason why those two are distancing themselves is due to how Harry is trying to make sure his wife doesn't end up like his mother. But yes I do see why Harry & Meghan are being so respected for this as it is nice on how both of the late Princess Diana's sons are better husbands than their father was.
I don't know much about royals, but that sounds real.
William is not a better husband. Harry is by far the sanest member
PJServo you said slightly’racist’. Why diminuize
PJServo Amen to that!
PJServo, all of what you said! ✌🏿
Bill actually got his wish today: Harry and Meghan renounce their title.
They DID NOT - it was removed by the Queen.
Well technically they lost their HRH. They are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
VC YT Since they must have seen that coming it amounts to the same thing.
Well technically they still have it, just not using.
@@aligensa They didn't see it coming. Harry said he wanted to retain the titles but was not permitted to.
Family is your touchstone to this world, appreciate them while you have them.
as a UK resident this is the best analysis of the monarchy ever 😂😂😂
You want Trump for your head of state.
Queen Lizzy has minions who do the dirty work for her. Don't be fooled by that kinda granny persona.
Well, they "lost" their titles, and I'm sure they are happy this way - as they didn't want a title to their son either.
I've been a not-batshit-crazy-ist for almost my entire life. Nice to get a shout-out from Bill.
It's utterly hilarious whenever a royal has an "epiphany" in life and they say they want to be "financially independent". I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to be financially independent when you already have tens of millions of dollars to your name.
Plus they're huge celebrities as well, which means people lining up to give millions just to catch a glimpse or hear them talk, just because they won the birth lottery.
Not so easy to be financially independent when you spend $1,000,000 on clothes per year (allegedly).
We will be seeing Harry as an extra on a CSI episode...bet!
Right on Bill, Harry has been wanting out for a long time! He just gave up his HRH! People need to stop , just leave him alone, let him live his life. Welcome to Canada,
Theresa Noble yah they can live in my back yard anytime..and oh they can even use my barbecue..we canadians are nothing if not friendly...❤️💃🇨🇦🇨🇦
Omg. Im so happy I'm not alone thinking this.
The woke has been asleep😂
