The UK Monarchy Explained 

Truly. These are unique videos on youtube and I wish there were more of them

Dearly.

Like what I've done with the place?

Gosh, I only popped to the loo for 2 minutes! But thanks, nevertheless. 💖

The UK queen did nothing to stop Rotherham. Remember the girls of Rotherham.

wait so phillip and the queen are related?

@@givmespace If the question is "are these European Royals related" the answer is yes, it's always yes. The lot of em are all almost as inbred as pugs

@@givmespace Their family tree is a circle.

@@lizardlegend42 disgusting they should be jailed.

Present Tense another suicide would be fishy even to eejits. Ghislaine will be shot en route to or from court, assassin will shoot self. They did learn one thing from LHO and Ruby.

@@nhmooytis7058 yeah...the media will say the shooter's family was screwed over by Ghislane years prior or something. Hire a black assassin and he wouldn't even have to commit suicide.

@@hidden6ix742 Yes, but none of them were biologically his, their provenance yet remains a mystery at which we can only guess in horror.

@@zetetick395 i actually find that more disturbing than the necrophilia

I don't actually believe Charles is, Andrew on the other hand....

@@hidden6ix742 Well, I suppose at least the raped dead people are already *dead* - so they really don't mind being fiddled with at all at all. (Such is the optimistic perspective) ...I mean, if it was MY corpse then: 10.34am Gets a strangers erection rubbed against my cold, inert body for 7 minutes. 2.17pm Get an autopsy chest-saw opening up my thorax and my internal organs roughly thrown into a butchers scales while I lay naked & leaking on a hard metal table. I may have gained a fresh sense of perspective about the whole ' erection' thing come teatime.

i think conversely, listing their value as one dollar prevents them from being sold or stolen.

​@@phoebexxlouise Eh, not so much prevents as discourages I'd say. If their sellable value is uncertain it's less attractive to unsophisticated thieves as there's no hard number to grab attention.

It's also a result of some of those works as being uninsurable as they are literally listed as priceless.

And you get into the issue most art thieves run into. The age old question of “who would buy the Mona Lisa?” Even if they did steal, say, that Mesopotamian sculpture of the fertility goddess, no sane person would ever buy it from them.

To be fair, stealing any of those artworks would make you shunned, to say the least. If not outright beaten to a pulp.

off with the heads

they're on their 5th republic. removing monarchy didn't fix the turmoil its still there and always will be.

@@alexanderbarnes8991 Democracy is an ever evolving and engaging concept. England,Spain,Sweden France are all so called Democracy yet are very different, in laws and applications. For all intent and purposes, a people that stay alert about the state of their country affairs, is a healthy one. Status quo is lethal.

@IIWII any time a government system is removed you will have a power vacuum that will result in consolidated power. ie (Germany removes Kaiser, Reichstrag, you have an all powerful Fuhrer) (France removes monarchy results in reign of terror and allows for an emperor Napoleon invading mainland Europe.) (United States creates more bureaucracies and executive powers resulting in more federal powers at the expense of the states and the people)

“Record breaking peodo” made me laugh way too much

It is almost like pedos are good at manipulating people to get better access to their prey.

Savile never escaped prosecution due to police failing to investigate formerly lodged allegations by victims, or by a local CPS "forgetting" to forward a file to London. Former Labour MP Greville Janner escaped prosecution 3 times (one being for having abused an 8 or 9 year old boy with the notorious paeophile Frank Beck) due to suspicious 'incompetence' from the police or CPS, before he died when a "trial of the facts" had just begun, over 30 men had submitted formal complaints to the police about being abused by Janner, most of them whilst they were in children's care homes. The media, particular the Times, Telegraph, and BBC, have frequently ran propaganda pieces claiming he is a victim of false allegations by either antisemitic or money hungry liars. It's disgusting. Janner should be the default example of the elite getting away with the most hideous crimes, but most people don't know just how damning the evidence against him is.

Doesn’t every Brit have ties to Saville?

Mild Misanthrope heyyyy I’m a Brit and I’m not a nonce😔

Interesting.

Dude, that's cause London isn't Paris. It ain't romantic the same way Paris is. Also the food is way better pretty much anywhere in France. Without the royals and Jane Austen what would make the UK a hot tourist spot? Fish and chips? Oxford/Cambridge? France also has better chateaus and castles. I don't mean to imply you don't have a point. I'm just saying I'll give the royals/crown jewels/royal castles a good amount of credit for tourism

@@ayameisastar I was both in London and Paris more than once, and in my experience the food is way better in London. 😋 Also, no big city is romantic (apart from Rome maybe), they're all anonymous tourist hotspots. If you want to experience romance and friendliness, go to the countryside. 😉

@@ayameisastar Nice cope dude

Queen Elizabeth’s awful son Andrew.

Not from her point of view. She's a devout Christian who believes God assigned her the role of Queen and to shirk that responsibility would mean defying God. Her faith is often what gets her through the most difficult challenges in her life.

I don't envy the Queen, but there are a lot of perks.

@benzo No amount of money makes the death of family or friends any easier. Or having your home burn down. Or having your children accused of crimes or dragged through media scandals. Or watching your country - the thing that you are meant to represent the very best of - gradually decline during your lifetime into global irrelevance.

@benzo Assets and power do not bring joy or peace. I am sure she has had many difficult times in her life, just different to those of common folk.

She might to be too dumb and sheltered to know she is a charlatan. It's a classic question whether a lie HAS to be intentional to be dishonest.

The monarchy deposed Gough Whitlam in the seventies too.

@@anonb4632 Not quite. The Governor General John Kerr acted independently in dismissing Gough Whitlam. In fact it was the threat of having *Kerr* dismissed (as the Australian Prime Minister is entitled to demand of the Queen) that led him to act pre-emptively.

@@patavinity1262 Nope, that's the monarchy. The Governor General is the representative of the queen in the Commonwealth Countries.

@@anonb4632 No, because the representative of X is not X. The Pope is held to be the representative of God on Earth, that does not mean that he is God. If the Governor General had acted on orders from the Queen, then it would be accurate to say the monarch had dismissed him. As he acted unilaterally, it isn't.

@@patavinity1262 Kerr was in regular correspondence with the palace. Claiming he acted unilaterally is a very big call.

@@inframatic This aged interestingly

Versailles is an unequal comparison - it's grand and ostentatious - and very, very expensive. Versailles budget is over €100M per year - that's almost 3 times the amount spent on the entire UK monarchy just to keep one building tidy. Buckingham Palace is, to be honest, nothing special as a building - it's grey, dull, and the interior is bland. It brings special unique appeal though because it has a living connection to an active monarchy - it's part of a real, ongoing story. It's not just yet another dusty forgotten chateau which Europe has about 10,000 of already.

Hey at least she would go out as she lived. As a Royal.

This subject is way over your head apparently. Even though it isn't that complicated. Just stop commenting if you aren't even going to try.

@@eatfrenchtoast And yet you manage to post a comment about nothing, except unfounded self-aggrandizement. Congratulations.

If you're worried about how "real psychopaths run for office" though, monarchy is actually beneficial in that respect. It's a check on ambition - even the most cynical and self-serving climber of the greasy pole has someone he can't pay off. In the monarchy you have at least one position in the state that by definition cannot be bought, by any level of corporate funding, electoral fraud or press subversion. The monarchy gives politicians a measure of humility - lots of politicians will of course tell you that they are mere "servants of the people", which is very easy to say when you're standing on a stage having a crowd of adoring followers chanting your name and singing songs after you, but rarely shakes out in practice. Being forced to say "yes your majesty" now and again reminds them that they are here to serve, not just fight for their own prestige.

@@kapparomeo I used to think that too, and in principle I think it seems reasonable, except for the fact that it doesn't appear to work. Being forced to bow has hardly appeared to be a restraining factor for any government within my lifetime. Humility is not abundant among the UK's ruling class.

@@TheMattastic To which I'd say, if you think it's bad now, look over the Atlantic and the madness their never-ending-election cycle puts them through every four years and imagine how much worse it could be. The Queen does have a levelling effect on politicians - one of her biggest fans was Harold Wilson, even though he was an Old Labour socialist he and the Queen got along really well, he always said that the Queen was the one person he could talk to in absolute confidence and honesty because the monarch was the only person who wasn't gunning for his job.

@@kapparomeo Nnnng, I'm unconvinced. The US is hardly representative of most republics. Their electoral politics is way too aggressive and reliant on big money and entertainment "news", and the president has way too much power. America's problems are mostly unique. And I'm glad Wilson got a lot of mileage from talking to the Queen, but that was a long time ago. I mean last year Johnson lied to the Queen's face without remorse, so really it sounds like the levelling effect she has on PMs is really just distilling how much respect they have for their responsibilities of office into a relationship with one person.

@@TheMattastic "lied to the Queen's face" would be a matter of interpretation, really. A lot of those sorts of criticisms are also dishonest and made in bad faith - not saying it's the case with you, but many of the people who were acting outraged over the prorogation last year were left-wingers who normally would be only too happy to mock the Queen except when it served their interest. If you want to settle these sort of constitutional arguments you won't get them sorted out in a republic, either - a written constitution just means we'll have even more litigation over every comma of the document than we do at the moment. I don't think the America comparison is inappropriate either - if it's unfair to compare all republics to their worst examples then it's also unfair to blindly assume a change of system will always be its best and most optimistic version too.

Versailles and Neuschwantstein are unequal comparisons. It's grand and ostentatious - and very, very expensive. Versailles budget is over €100M per year - that's almost 3 times the amount spent on the entire UK monarchy just to keep one building tidy. Buckingham Palace is, to be honest, nothing special as a building - it's grey, dull, and the interior is bland. It brings special unique appeal though because it has a living connection to an active monarchy - it's part of a real, ongoing story. It's not just yet another dusty forgotten chateau which Europe has about 10,000 of already.

IMO, anyone with power over the people of a country should be elected (also why I don't like appointed roles). And anyone with power should have limits and oversight over them. If the PM f's up, I'm sure Parliament has a way of kicking them out.

And the way she looked, was way beyond comparrrrreee

Left-wing bullshit!

How can a Greek lecture anyone on monarchies? You do realise that your entire republic is democratically illegitimate? There was never a free or fair vote on abolishing your monarchy. The military junta abolished the monarchy to secure its own power because the king in exile in Italy was organising resistance and mutinies in the navy, and then when civilian government was restored the referendum was corrupt - you had a vote where one of the candidates was forbidden from visiting his own country. The same goes for most of the world's monarchies, actually - few have ever been abolished by the actual will of the people, and almost all monarchies end in order to serve the interests of military dictatorship (e.g. Libya) or a wealthy elite (e.g. Brazil) to which the monarchy is an obstacle to power. Many of the others were destroyed by the imperialism of republican countries - the USSR's exploitation of Eastern Europe is one example, and the USA in Vietnam is another - they created a republic with another corrupt, illegitimate vote (President Dien ousted the emperor with more votes than there were registered voters) and the million deaths and decades on misery in South-East Asia can be traced back to their presidential puppet.

@@kapparomeo I agree 100% with you,I did not lecture anyone though, and you are right about our junta, but I wasn't even born back then.I just wrote about my very limited perspective of traveling for the first time in a foreign country and noting what I found strange there. I agree that you didn't choose the monarchy and you also where born and raised into it and you might have no chance to change its status.

@@madrandomize5115 Okay I understand I can feel a little defensive sometimes so sorry if I came across too strong, but it saddens me to see the hypcorisy on government - presidents who say they're democratcs but would never have been their without cheating. That's not your personal fault though.

@@kapparomeo To be frank,the kings of Greece were really inept.The monarchy in modern Greece was just a poor copycat of european courts,which is expected,since they were installed by the european powers.The only positive things the kings did was the slow but steady extermination of bandits and the exceptional leadership of prince Constantine in the Balkan wars. As George says on the video,one of the reasons the british royal family is perceived as a tourist attraction is because it's a remnant of a bygone age of Europe's history.The monarchy of modern Greece lasted less than 150 years.The dictatorship may had the king driven out,but I can assure you,he wasn't missed.

Yep.
