Why The Queen Was ACTUALLY The Longest Reigning Monarch EVER 

Alternative title: British guy keeps up tradition and tries to discredit the French.

11:57 No one else thinks to adjust deaths for inflation. this is the kind of deep journalism we expect from toycat

Baby Louis might not have been an absolute monarch yet, but he was an absolute unit 😂

4:23 Toycat's laughter is so contagious, I love it so much

Like I always say, Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch, while Louis XIV was monarch for the longest amount of time.

Even though Princess Anne has to follow her younger brothers and can be pushed further down the line every time her brothers lines get new offsprings, this doesn't apply to Princess Charlotte because the laws of successions have recently been changed to absolute primogeniture, HOWEVER this change only affects (/benefits) female offspring born from 2011 onwards so it's still tough luck for Anne. Without this change, a potential King Louis would be third in line right now. The horror.

Toycat losing it at Baby King Louis was fantastic. I started laughing exactly the same way.

There are actually 3 branches of old French royalty that claim the throne of France : the Bourbons, the Orleans and the Bonaparte

I never heard toycat laugh like that on this channel omg

2:42 Fun fact, Louis XIV banned pineapples from France because he bit into one that was gifted to him by a foreign diplomat before the man could explain how to eat it.

Toycat wheezing at a painting of a baby is what I needed in the mourning stage

I’ll miss the queen she was the only monarch most of us have know and it feels very strange for her to be gone she will be missed by the world

Toycat's list of things that change after the Queen's death: 1 word in the national anthem the Wikipedia page 2 words on the passport the face on the money

8:13 Actually, Denmark has a Queen, not a king, so 6 kings and 1 queen.

I mean having a regency council and being a constitutional monarch is basically the same thing: only ceremonial powers. But louis XIV actually had absolute power after that!

The British-French rivalry never gets old

4:24 lmaoo that laugh

Notable lines of the video ‘It doesn’t say the French king after 1870, I wonder why that is’ ‘But if you adjust the deaths for inflation ‘Prince Andrew is a great guy, in this one interview he confirmed he has a shared passion for Pizza express’ ‘4:23’ ‘Arms sales, sometimes people have too many limbs and need to get rid of them’ 10/10 jokes

14:45 yes, the line of succession uses absolute primogeniture now, but it only applies to those born after 2011 when the law was made.

Great reaction to the painting of the child. 😂 We need more of that.

Jokes aside Elizabeth II whole her had same level of power as 4 year old Louis XIV

I have never met anyone who even knows someone who has met Louis. Fraud in my eyes

One day there will be a , "God, save the gender-neutral monarch"

Fun fact: #85 in line of succesion to the throne is the Norwegian King Harald, grandson of King Edward VII's daughter, Maud.

"Brit from the Perfidious Albion tries to cope by attacking France" would be a better title

*British nationalism intensifies*

7:28 ahhh, now I can present my favourite fun fact: Napoleon IV was the final considerable heir to the French throne… until he died as a British soldier during a skirmish with Zulus. Yup. He was a British lieutenant. Queen Victoria personally attended his funeral. The only reason he went was because he forced Britains hand as a lieutenant since he had the authority, meanwhile Britain were extremely reluctant to put him in harms way. His death sent shockwaves through Europe at the time. Hell, even Napoleon III died in England. So the moral of the story is, if Napoleon IV can fight and die for his great grandads arch nemesis who also mourned him afterwards, then you can let go of those petty grudges you have over medieval history 😌

Elizabeth was a pawn. She shouldn't even be considered a real monarch to begin with.

Actually, it was neither Queen Elizabeth or Louis. It’s Sobhuza II of Swaziland - 82 year reign from 1899-1982.

4:24 That laughter is contagious!

King Louis XIV - 72 years reigned - Semi-ceremonial (absolute/Ancien Regime monarch but Cardinal Richelieu run things) - Had a regent for 8 years Queen Elizabeth II - 70 years reigned - Full constitutional monarch (with lots of reserve powers for emergencies and crises) - Didn't had a regent I think the only argument that could have made Her Majesty as the longest-reigning monarch in history is that she didn't have any regents at all. Still, officially, it's still King Louis XIV who holds the record of the longest-reigning monarch of a sovereign nation in history.

8:20 Queen of Denmark: Am I a joke to you?

Average British person trying to convice they're better, a classic

POV : You're a Brit and you know you're going to have to wait a long time to beat this French dude.

ILove you Toyota! Toycat is yes! Funny accents and the hardest laugh I've ever seen. What a time drew be alive!!!

if you remove louis' non-ruling years as a king then you have to remove the years elizabeth "ruled" as a constitutional monarchy

Idk Elizabeth was a figure head with only ceremonial powers while Louis was an absolute monarch. NTM Louis liked to his 70 way before modern medicine which is very impressive considering all the untreated illnesses people had back then.

1870, because since then we are a Republic... so no King, no Emperor. In fact our last king was ousted in 1848, in 1870 our second Emperor abdicated. We are not considering the Monarchy and the Empire the same regime, the Bonaparte weren't connected at all with the Bourbon dynasty. But from 987 to 1848 all our kings were linked to Hugh Capet the first king of France proper. Before him they were kings of the Franks not kings of France.

ajusted for inflation 💀💀💀

british guy roasting france monarch for 19 minutes straight

The moment you just started wheezing at baby Louis haha

One of the first here I may not be British, but the Queen will be missed. It feels so strange to have someone as important as her completely gone from one day to another.

France: Behold you king! *a toddler comes out Any reasonable person: that’s a toddler France: No, that a king. He commands armies from his stroller.

actually liked your videos but this video bro really

Technically France’s current head of state is a monarch!

TC LOSING HIS SHII AT THE PAINTING OF THE CHILD HAS ME ROLLING

Um Ackshually… the Quebec flag was based on that design…

8:19 yes there is a queen in europe. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark :)

Is your country now the United Queendom?

I expected a documentary but Fr*nch slander is better

Is ibx2cat drunk?

listening to him lose it at seeing baby Louis XIV was the best part of this

It's going to be so difficult to remember that it's not the United Queendom anymore.

Best laugh I've heard from Toycat ever lol

COPE ET SEETHE LES ANGLAIS HONHONHON (lmao)

like wtf is that video its just bashing the french

Actually the queen on reign on Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Those other is in the common wealth. Also Louis the 14 is actually the longest reigning. This British guy trying to discredit the French……. So rude. Please stop. You should apologize.

So hilarious I was red in the face laughing when you showed that baby pic. Lmao man.

When people say "the queen" like there's not other current monarchies in Europe alone, including places where a queen even is the head of state.

Austria-Hungary’s last crown prince (Otto Habsburg) died in 2011, his father and predecessor in 1922. If monarchy hadn’t been abolished (and assuming a couple other events I’ll ignore for the sake of this being a RU-vid comment) , he would have reigned for 89 years (starting as a 10 year old, so the effective reign would have been around 80 years).

I grew up in a neighborhood in Schaumburg Illinois that was devoted to the British. Street names were named; Canterbury, Coventry, Churchill to name a few. I lived on prince Charles lane and went to Winston Churchill elementary (grade school, grammar school). Weird

We still have a queen in Denmark >:c you said there was no more. We have the last queen now >:3

Princess Diana has been dead since 1997

4:23 literally made my day

I personally just don't like giving the title of longest reigning to a modern constitutional monarch, heck much later and Louis XIV would be too modern for my taste

Hey toycat, not sure if you’ll ever see this, but there’s a bot account replying to comments about give aways using your likeness. Thought you’d want to know

The trolling is massive within this one 😂

If the guy who is 52nd on the list mass murdered everyone higher than him, noone would be able to stop him from becoming King.

Sure thing, but you're Queen can't beat our first king Made a nation and still ruled it for 73 long ass years

As an American, I offer my sincerest condolences to you and your entire nation on the passing of your beloved monarch. She's been the queen my entire life. She's been the queen during my mother's entire life (mom is crushed). And I totally agree! A child who had his reign administered by his mom, et al, doesn't count!

Tell me, which nation does the sun not set on now? I'll tell you France

never heard him laugh like that before

This whole video was just Toycat dissing King Louis XIV. Ok but seriously why were there so many Louis lol, like come on France there are other names beside Louis

I know you're trying to provoke to make me write a comment to increase engagement for the algoritm, but it won't work on me buddy, I'm not gonna write a comment.

Louis XIV has got to get credit for living at a time before modern medicine, when bloodletting was the go-to cure for disease

I hate these stupid sarcastic mind games. You do such a good job at purposely pissing people off

so France has not got a monarch because French revolution happened and kind of killed it off, until napoleon came along, and hits family members were the emperor's for a bit, Franco Prussian war then forced Napoleon III out had then that was the end of French monarchy.

There is no current French monarchy and hasn’t been for a while that’s why it stopped at 1870

Well, actually, Denmark doesn't have a king, so no, you can't just say just kings now!

8:20 Denmark stil has a queen.

Doctor: King Louis as a maid baby with a rod doesn't exist King Louis as a maid baby with a rod:

You almost got me with the Diana bit. I was so close to writing about it in the comments lol

I don't think it's a flex that your monarch is the monarch of 15 places

it doesn't go to Anne, it goes to Andrew because they were born before the line of succession became not sexist

Your passport is valid until its expiry also new notes will be issued in 2023 or 2024 with the King's head and maybe the queen's head as a tribute. Also any coins with the queen's head still valid until the Bank of England roll out the king Charles the III head on the money.

Alternate title: British guy trying to say why Louis XIV wasn't the longest-reigning monarch based of inaccurate and silly facts

You need to rename all of your ships too, from "Her Majesty's Ship" to "His Majesty's Ship" - luckily the acronym is the same, lol.

least patriotic british

british man coping

4:22 the laugh

8:12 This is blatant, disgusting Denmark erasure and I love you for it.

Isn’t Saudi Arabia a new world monarchy

Damn that treaty of Versailles part made me crack up. I’m not french, I just like history. But seriously man, it doesn’t matter where the treaty is signed. If Versailles didn’t exist, than they’d sign a treaty elsewhere, all that would happen is that the world would be deprived of such a beautiful place

I feel like she took “1st is the worst, second is the best” too literally

Time under a regent shouldn't really count.

So I actually looked into it to see how long Louis XVI was actually in power. If you start his reign at the year he was coronated (1654) to the year he died (1715), he only truly reigned for 61 years. Now if you do the same for Queen Elizabeth II (1953 to 2022), she reigned for 69 years. So arguably, the Queen did reign longer

Sure you can argue that Louis didn’t have power when he was a child. But then I would argue Elizabeth had just as little actual power over her country for her entire life

Copium wars circa 2022

Bro roasted the entire French royal family😂

average british man when looking up france on wikipedia
