And anyways no one in Monaco is going to give up all the privileges they have because of the Prince, no taxes, cleanliness, a country not in debt, thriving economy etc.

I think it's quite important to remember that though Queen Elizabeth is head of the commonwealth, she's only the head of state and sovereign of 15 nations not all 54 belonging to the commonwealth. For example, India where I'm from became a republic in 1949 and our President is our head of state. Thus, Queen Elizabeth's father was the last British monarch to be India's head of state and Queen Elizabeth has never been our queen.

also, Elizabeth isn't sovereign over all the Commonwealth of Nations members, only the Commonwealth realms, which are only 16 countries. The remainder of the 54 have their own heads of state and government.

We all know that Charles and Cowmilla are adulterers. That doesn't go down well with the public.

Regarding the taxpayer situation to UK, the Royal Family has lands that earns money. In the 1700s, George III agreed to surrender the profits of these lands to parliament in exchange for a fixed salary and having his debts removed. The profits contribute to the UK's national budget which means taxes would be lower than they otherwise would be.

Good report, really!

I’m Belgian. The monarchy is one of the things that’s keeping the country together. Flanders would be more likely to become independent without them. No, they’re not really beloved, but we keep them as a symbol. They don’t have any real power. We have restricted the money the ‘secondary royals’ receive. Oh, and yes, Flanders is more conservative, but we are not religious anymore. We used to be very catholic, but that changed in the 1960’s. Not many people are still devout catholics. A lot of people only go to church for weddings and funerals. Many people only have their kids baptized and go through communion so they can get married in a church if they want. We were the second country to legalize same-sex marriage, and the fact that gay couples are still not allowed to get married in a catholic church has made the church even less popular recently. My kids aren’t baptized and they go to a catholic school. The majority of the children in school do not go through communion or confirmation. Only about 1 in 5 do. By the way, Filip used to be brutally mocked when he was still a prince. One thing that has been well-received, is that Elisabeth is the first female heir to the throne and Belgium could finally have it’s first Queen. Previously, only male heirs could inherit the throne.

I think it also has to do with how the people view them for example before 2002 many people viewed the British monarchy as old fashioned hence why many people were siding with republicanist and abolishing the monarchy. However, during the golden jubilee of 2002 the royal family started to become more modern which included the Queen to meet new people as well as different cultures and religions and including more things that were popular with the people.

Then After Queen Anne I (whom the British Empire was forged under) went to the house of Hanover. which claimed the British Throne through Elizabeth Stuart daughter of King James VI and I. To which we get the current monarchy today - Which is actually the house of Saxe-coburg and gotha due to Queen Victoria's marriage to Albert but had its name changed to Windsor during WW1.

In his very First Statement in january 2020 he wrote, that he and Meghan wanted to Work parttime as royals and only take some of the Responsibilities, while only forgoe the taxpayers money which is only 5 % of their income. So they only wanted to work half of the time and still be payed 95% while looking to establish a new kind of income at the same time. That's quite unfair for all the other fullworking royals who would have to take over some of Harry and Meghan's Responsibilities along with their own workload while only getting paid just a little better. That's Why the Queen than stepped in. The taxpayers where also angry because they spend a lot money on the wedding and the renovations of frogmore Cottage, only for them to not take their Responsibilities seriously. And there also some rules that with their HRH Titles they always represent the royals publicly and that means that certain contracts and jobs with Not Royal-confirm Organisations and firms like netflix or spottify are not allowed, it's called conflict of interest. Because these jobs are some sort of public jobs, so how could they represent them and the royals at the same time? That's why they are Not allowed to use the HER Titles. Sorry for the bad grammar :D

Just a few comments on your information for the UK Monarchy, I can't comment on the others so much as I am from the UK myself. The comments are pretty much what a lot of Americans don't understand about UK history, so it's not just you! The UK Monarchy itself has only existed since 1707 with the formal Union of the Scottish and English thrones through the respective Acts of Union of each parliament. From 1603 to 1707 (excusing the interregnum), the two crowns rested on one head from the time in 1603 when James VI of Scotland took the English throne. When referring back to the establishment of the UK Monarchy you are using the generally accepted date of the first Monarch of all England. What you should do to correct this is use the date of the first generally accepted King of all Scotland, that being Kenneth I MacAlpin in 843. Of the two royal lines, the Scottish one is senior in the UK system. You could also potentially look into the older Irish and Welsh royal dyansties, but both are really quite detailed in their own way.

One point about the Dutch. The monarchy was established in 1815, not in 1581. We were a republic, not a monarchy. The descendents of William of Orange were just 'stadtholders' which is NOT a royal title, they were even periods where there was not a stadtholder.

In WW2, once again the Belgian forces held up the German forces long enough to allow the massive Brittish force at the coast to escape, which would otherwise have been capured, undoubtedly changing the course of the war. The European Union was formed out of the cooperation between Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. Also the headquarters of NATO are in Belgium. We haven't been independant for long, but that doesn't mean we have been sitting on our asses either.

I really don’t agree that the UK is the second most likely to abolish its monarchy. Despite its scandals it remains popular and has done through centuries of scandals. I also don’t think Elizabeth’s popularity was affected by her protecting her own interests. And I disagree with the 0 points for cost thing because it feels like you completely ignored how cheap it is per person just because it’s the most expensive overall. And it’s definitely more historically significant than you let on considering it’s one of the oldest. I also think there is a major roadblock to change in the fact that the government is very much in favour of monarchy and would probably be very reluctant to hold a referendum (look how it drags its heels for Scottish independence referendums). I would personally give 2 points to the Queen, 0 to the family, 1 to the cost for taxpayers, 2 for historical significance, 0 to the happiness of the populace (though I personally wouldn’t use this score at all since happiness is based on far more than government/monarchy) and 1 to roadblocks for change giving a total score of 6. That’s just my perspective though and I respect your video.

And even the cost to taxpayes is more likely an investment. The royal family makes an estimated $2.7 Billion dollars to the UK (according to Forbes)

Most of these royals are constitutional monarchy's, and they also bring in revenue as tourist attractions. Particularly the British royal family. The British royals pay taxes and the only things the public pay for are the parts of their residences that are open to the public. Everything else is self funded. They're mostly figureheads and respected by many.

If the Monarchies move with the time and keep up with modernisation , I rather think there might be chances of their survival . Monarchy should be transparent , accessible , open to all working class peoples of a society . Not as a symbol of Colonialism , oppression , inferiors

As someone from the UK, I can't forsee becoming a republic. Whilst public opinion on Prince Charles has never been all that high, in the past year he has become more likeable and more approachable. And, whilst that may not be enough for some, the knowledge that Prince William will become King, I feel, will be enough to keep the Monarchy.

Btw, Francisco Franco did in fact have a child, however she didn't inherit Spain as Franco promised to restore the monarchy back in the 1940s.

This “cost to the taxpayer” issue is, in my opinion, severely misunderstood - at least with respect to the British monarchy. There is no money “siphoned off” from tax revenue. That’s utter nonsense. The income of the royal family is a percentage of the revenue earned from their lands, estates, and other holdings. The government at regular intervals appraises how much of the revenue earned from Crown properties should be given to the family, this is usually between 25% to 30%, if I’m not mistaken. In essence they are taxed at about 70%. And one must note that most of the Royals’ spending goes to paying their staff - creating employment and injecting the money back into the economy; take into account the tourism they promote and you’ll see that the UK is MUCH better off economically with the monarchy intact. This idea of being paid out of the peoples’ pockets is a NON-ISSUE! The only real issue would be the image of inequality and the place of titles and social hierarchicy in a modern world.

Regarding the UK, did the cost to taxpayers include the amounts for some state owned properties (Buckingham Palace & Windsor are two of them) under cost but ignore the income generated by them?

IMO King Felipe and Princess Leonor of Spain are such a dynamic father-daughter duo. King Felipe is a sensible king and he's been working hard to mend the problems. Princess Leonor also shows so much potential. She's so sweet and well-mannered. Such a very poise young lady. She takes on many languages and becomes such a good ambassador of her country & people. I think Princess Leonor's gonna represent Spain well in the the near future. Plus, the dowager Queen Sophia has also been working tirelessly through her 40 years as a queen consort to the betterment of the institution. I think they deserve more credits.

I believe Leonor will become a historically great monarch. Plus even though King Emeritus Juan Carlos is not what one may consider a good man, he is however without doubt an important for his role in transitioning post-Franco Spain to the modern kingdom of today. He will be judged (by modern standards) as a great king by history. This is the man who gave up near absolute power (supported by the military) for the constitutional monarchy that this channel seems to like.

Love your videos. But using Freedom Index as measurement of “roadblocks to abolition” doesn’t seem to make sense. Freedom is measured by many things, none of which include the constitutional mechanism to abolition the monarchy. I think it would’ve been more accurate to use the actual procedures of each country and assess the difficulty.

The more their people feel free and have several ways of limiting power/booting the monarch, the better behaved the monarch is going to be. Remember the French and Russian monarchs lost their lives because they were heavy taxing the people, not providing for said people and using said people as cannon fodder. That pisses people off to the point of revolution and well murder.

Most of the Monarchs today dont actually rule, they have elected parliamentary leaders. They are figure heads only, but the Monarchs draw in lots of revenue from tourism.

It is interesting to delve into the backgrounds of many of the crowned and uncrowned head of Royal Families. Many, like Otto von Habsburg have been effective members of the European parliament, some have been experts in scientific subjects and one was an expert on botany. Nearly all of them have an area of expertise as do their children. Unfortunately sometimes people like Princess Ann have been held back by their public persona such as when it was not thought 'suitable' for her to be in the Olympic Equestrian Team. King Charles has managed The Duchy of Cornwall brilliantly and Prince Philip , who was given the job when his wife became monarch, of managing the Royal Estates. He admiited that although sometimes they had to run down to Tesco's, by and large the royal household provided all the food and goods for everyone including the RF from the estates. No mean feat!

​@@alimohammad1934 might as well throw a few facts in here. The presidential salary is $400,000 per annum (taxable as the highest tax bracket). The ex presidential pension, according to the Former Presidents Act (1958), is equal to that of a current cabinet member (now $219,200 per annum, also taxable). Nothing extra for the first lady, unless he dies first, then and only then will she get a (taxable) pension of $20,000 per annum IF she renounces other statutory pensions. So right now there are five former presidents alive (Carter, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump). The wives of these presidents are the only first ladies alive; so none of them are collecting the $20,000 widow's pension since they're not widows, yet. Children don't get anything. Then there is the fact that the President has only one residence, in the capital, as well as a small "retreat" in Maryland. I am not sure how many residences the royal family owns, but it's a lot more, and the British taxpayer is paying upkeep and security on all of them. Do you have any figures on the security, residences and salaries for the British royal family as a whole? I'd be interested to find out. I wouldn't be surprised to find the British taxpayers are giving to the Crown, and all its members, and their residences) no less than we're giving to our Presidency, and all its former and current members.
