What annoys me is that all of MM's fanclub rant about the royal family covering things up, portray them as liars, racists, and generally not to be trusted, and then go and believe every word of a woman that has came out of Hollywood. Hollywood covers up so much evil behaviour, and Hollywood celebrities all cover up for each other to make sure they stay loved and relevant, all while trying to portray themselves as so grounded and relatable. That's why MM's Hollywood friends defend her, because if she looks bad (and her true narcissism is revealed to the world) then they do too. The royal family has existed long before Hollywood celebrities and I'm sure will exist long after them; they don't need to try so hard to stay relevant. People like Patrick Adams regurgitating the same old insults to do with the monarchy being an outdated, archaic institution that has lost it's relevance only do so because they want to replace the monarchy and want people to look up to them as the leading figures of society instead. Celebrities are self-serving, whereas the royal family serves the people. I would trust our royal family over a single word that comes out of Hollywood. Even if you don't like the royal family, you have to admit Hollywood are just as bad, if not worse.

Honestly, I think Meghan held such high esteem for herself that she thought she was royalty (odd, since she’s an actress who is really only famous for one show) and thought she could break years of tradition and get away with that. Tradition might be difficult occasionally, but it also exists for a reason in every culture and those who enter a new one and flip tables will not be warmly welcomed. Let alone, worshiped and praised, as I believe she desired.

I'm an American, born and raised. I admire Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth for many reasons. It is really interesting to me when you compare and contrast Her Majesty with "celebrities" such as MM. MM talks about women's rights, women "using their voices", HMQE actually uses her voice. MM talks about helping diverse groups, HMQE actually takes action and helps diverse groups, MM talks about work in service, HMQE serves every day and has served every day for 70 years. HMQE is an excellent role model. She goes about her business quietly, honorably, dutifully and honestly. MM makes sure and announces whenever she donates money or time, and doesnt hesitate to offer her opinion on any news of the day. HMQE uses her voice in a thoughtful, measured and powerful way. MM is a word salad, verbal diarrhea, loose cannon spewing machine. I greatly admire HMQE, whereas MM is the type of person to be avoided and ignored.

Our Queen has always stood by us - look at her sitting alone at her husband's funeral with the same number of mourners that we were allowed to have during the pandemic, our Prime Minister offered to bend the rules for a full State Funeral for Prince Philip and The Queen refused. The reason the treacherous duo are trying to bring down the Monarchy is because they were prevented from cashing in and trying to modernise an already modernised family.

I'm politically neutral but when I see the sentence of a "divisive" president in the US, I am 99.9% certain that it's because that's what the media has told us repeatedly. Media in the US is disproportionately liberal/left, including NPR, and so are the big techs and their censorship and selection of what gets seen- YT, FB, Twitter, google etc, and so are "small" media like Vox, etc. And here the US media and corporations love "woke" culture which MM very much endorses and monetizes from. The US media loves MM, the same way they jump into defending Amber Heard and dropped Johnny Depp with no evidence (when I watched the deposition of AH I knew she was lying, and this was like 2 years before the recent court case that Depp won against her), and the guy who framed others for hate crime. So the same media that continues to lie to push their agenda is the only thing that is divisive, and that divisiveness is further flamed by celebrities that believe and promote the media's lie. For instance, the left in the US claim to hate the rich and corporations and for all their talk about fighting for the people, if you actually look at donations for each politician a large majority of democrat/left donors are big name individuals in all professions including celebrities & media, big corporations and banks so Democrats raise way more money. On the other hand you'll find average Americans donating to Republicans/conservatives rather than the corporations and celebrities. Hopefully the following the money can give you perspective of who is being truthful and who has more to gain from biased and at times opinion passed on as "news".

One would think she would decline being addressed as “Duchess” because she refused to perform the duty. Oh wait, the title needs to be monetised. how can we expect integrity from a “woke” person?

People( the people outside your Sussex bubble of isolation) are no longer as intimidated by the charge of being a racist as they were only a few years ago. Most people have now had the opportunity to see how the charge of racism has been recklessly launched in so many patently absurd situations that it no longer carries the force that it once did. The strategy has been overused, and thankfully - at least for most of the world outside your Sussex isolated bubble are people who are concerned about the truth - it is now backfiring.After the attacks of the President of Ukraine while Russia was attempting a take over the world see right through the Sussex cult squad.

If you told me five years ago I would have began feeling sympathy for the British monarchy, I would been laughing at the concept calling you absolutely mad. When I was studying in the UK, I did ask people why they have it and many answers ranged between tourism to a necessary evil. You video does provide a great context on how the Queen is above public opinion which yes it can be persuaded by politicians and celebrities. One might argue the Queen herself can change her mind but the office she holds has to be the same one her father's and his father before him. While the monarchy isn't perfect, that aspect of stability I believe does ground a person where it might justify as to how Elizabeth stays the same when you compare monarchies in history where there was an influence either by the papacy or their selfish whims.

Henry VIII was a tyrant who (along with many of his successors) used the full force of the state to genocidally persecute and execute Lollards, Catholics, and other reasonable individuals who dissented from his secular religion. The greatest extent of papal influence on England in his day was refusing to annul his valid marriage to his incredible wife, Catherine of Aragon, who is remembered and honored by Englishmen to this day. And he got what he wanted anyway, condemning her to die of illness, under house arrest in impoverished conditions, and going on to murder even more women. The monarchy is only as good as the person occupying the office. You say the office remains the same, but that's not true. The nature of the office fluctuates depending on all sorts of political conditions, especially the personality of the occupant. The modern British monarchy is so benign precisely because it is not the same office as existed in the 16th century; nor was that the same office as existed in the 12th century; nor was that the same office as existed before the Norman conquest. Happily, more has changed than has persisted.

@@ToxicallyMasculinelol Even though he was terrible in so many ways, I don't think Henry VIII was the worst towards Catholics. I mean, he did still persecute them of course (such as executing St Thomas More and other disobedient faithful Catholics for treason), but he still loved the Catholic faith itself even after his split from Rome (Pope Leo X titled him "Defender of the Faith" in the 1520s pre-reformation because of how vocally and strongly he defended the Catholic faith across Europe, which is ironically a title the subsequent protestant English/British monarchs kept and still have, despite its roots in the papacy). He didn't want much to change religion-wise, just basic things - he only converted officially so he could annul his marriage. A few years afterwards, he executed his minister Thomas Cromwell because he was changing too much of the English church by getting rid of Catholic influence and traditions and replacing them with Protestant influences and practices. It was mostly his children, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, who largely persecuted and slaughtered Catholics and were a lot more radical, which many people don't realise because Edward is relatively unknown and Elizabeth is known as one of the greatest English monarchs with one of the greatest reigns after a period of so much instability. People only focus on Elizabeth's initial Religious Settlement, after Henry's incompetence and Mary I's burning and execution of protestants. As usual, history is written by the winners (Protestants), so now we tend to only focus on the wrongdoings and failures of Mary, such as by coining "Bloody Mary" even though plenty other monarchs' reigns were just as brutal and bloody as her's. I still don't like Henry VIII though lol. As much as I love our current royal family, breaking with the Catholic Church was the worst thing to ever happen to the UK in my opinion (even though it is probably an unpopular one). The best and most underrated Tudor monarch was and is Henry VII by far. He was so intelligent, pious, and interesting. His consort, Elizabeth of York, was an incredible woman like Catherine of Aragon. Anyway I'm digressing. I wonder how our current monarchy will be viewed in the future depending on how things change presently and who becomes the "winner", so to speak.

The thing about a monarchy is that it's almost part of British DNA. Most of us feel the presence of the Monarch so deeply. It's in our bones. It connects us with the past and the future in a way that no presidency ever can. The Queen has not only been the monarch for all of my life, but for all of my parents' lives and for most of my grandparents' lives (even before they were married). To think that, when Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, my father's parents (now both 20 years dead) were only 21 and 23 and now 70 years later on her Platinum Jubilee their youngest granddaughter is 22 and the same Queen is STILL on the thone makes me feel so connected to them. And it was the Queen's ancestors who overlooked the country for all of my ancestors, leading them through things like war and each difficulty that our country faced, and it will be her descendants overlooking my descendants. The monarch and consort raised British morale and kept the country together during the World Wars in a way that no president could have. In my opinion as a Brit, no presidency will ever be able to give that proud, goosebumps feeling. I think that's why the monarch was historically viewed as divinely chosen because it really does feel God-given and a presidency would take that away from us.

She spoke of how King George VI and the Queen Mother stood steady during the bombing of London, refusing to leave the people without moral support. That seems to me to be needed more than ever in these times-a leader whose values don’t shift and change, a steady light that stays strong and lifts spirits. But more than that, like a ship navigating through rough waters, a capable captain at the helm to keep the ship afloat and moving forward.

Indeed. However, the issue is that a monarch is a title/office for life, and while it creates stability with a benevolent ruler, it creates unsurpassed chaos with a corrupt one. Constitutional Monarchies try to correct this, and so far they've been okay. The best thing going for them is that they don't have any legislative/executive powers. Term limits do the same in a Republic; being absolutely necessary because politicians actually DO wield legislative/executive powers. This also highlights the need for religion/mythology/folklore. They create a unified source for guidance and ethics, of culture and identity. The downside is that it is that there is no living embodiment that can say what one's hero would do in a present situation. In a constitutional monarchy, the downside is that a good monarch is not immortal, thus giving way to an inevitable corrupt one.

I’m not British. But I am from a country with a Monarchy. It’s difficult to explain the connection. The parliament is just politicians and they come and go. But we ALWAYS rally around our Monarchs. In the most difficult situations our country has gone through, when the country is filled with political strife, one speech from our Monarch is enough to reset everything and have us working towards a solution.

Your research, analysis and presentation is IMPECCABLE. I LOVE your videos and they’ve been improving my socio-cultural literacy so much. Keep killing it girl xx

Really good representation of the role of Monarchy & I'm British. Thanks. Another interesting point - politicians PM & MPs get expensive gold-plated health insurance/life policies & an extortionate pension for life after they have left Parliament! Even if they only served one term or even just one year - they all get it for life! People always bring up the "waste of money" argument against Monarchy - but politicians cost the country very much more than Monarchy does. Over 600+ politicians and they change every term - some more added getting those life term perks & some leave after the minimum time entitling them to get the life term perks! Serving politicians and retired or the ones that lost their seat - i.e. fired - out of work - they'll all get the gold plated pensions & life/health insurance - for LIFE!

This is an excellent video. As an American Brit having lived in UK for almost 20 years, I can see how the Queen brings most of the people together regardless of individual political leanings. I know the USA has nothing similar. I support the Monarchy and I am disgusted at what H&M had said during that wretched Oprah interview.

Yes please ! A video about these revolutions would be brilliant. This one is great too. I'm a Brit and have only known the Queen during my lifetime. She is iconic, has substance and amazing principles. The epitome of selfless service. That concept let alone lived experience, is a million miles away from The Harkles who've been around for two minutes and think they have all the answers but these are all built in moral quicksand

Amazing video! Thank you for making it so clear for people to understand the difference between a life of service and service of the self.

A very sensitive and thoughtful video. How many other Heads of State are still working to serve the people at 95 years old? Thank you so much.

You failed to mention that Queen Elizabeth has reigned longer than any other monarch in history. She has never uttered a political word and so is seen as fairly representing every man, woman, and child in her country and the Commonwealth as well as leading the church of England. Prince Charles already has demonstrated that he cannot do the same. He will be a very controversial king. As delightful as William and his wife are, they also have political and controversial opinions which they voice. Furthermore, who becomes the next monarch is some kind of DNA “luck of the draw.“ Imagine if William had been born the second child and the UK faced the prospect of a King Harry with his first wife! Lol Well, not actually lol. Because it would be a tragedy, a travesty, and trash for the throne. No….there is a reason that monarchies around the world close up shop one-by-one and so few are left. Throughout history there have been many demented, deformed, retarded, and morally bankrupt sons and daughters who inherited thrones. As you can see after one year of President Biden, it can take less than a year for a country to be flushed down the toilet. This is a very interesting video which I sincerely suggest you invest the eight minutes to watch because it explains why a system - not only for a country but for businesses and nonprofits and sports teams, etc. - find the BEST person to run it rather than rule by inheritance or, as we still have in many places, a tribal leader system.

DGO Hughes pointed out in 1998 why a constitutional monarchy works (for us anyway), I quote "We should all bear in mind the constitutional safeguards inherent in the monarchy: While The Queen occupies the highest office of state, no one can take over the government. While she is head of the law, no politician can take over the courts. While she is ultimately in command of The Armed Forces, no would-be dictator can takeover the army. The Queen's only power, in short, is to deny power to anyone else"

The people bow down to the government, the government bows down to the monarchy and the monarchy bow down to the people. They are our security and keep stability.. Im genuinely scared of the idea of not having a Monarchy.

Im not sure chief, under what conditions does the monarchy "bow down" to the people, I was under the impression that the legitimacy of the crown derived from some sort of godly intervention, which i guess is the only thing that can justify a person being born with an innate position of wealth and power. Maybe you mean that they are under scruitiny by the civil society? But the monarchy doesn't seem to have all that much influence over government, to me they mostly seem a tool of propaganda to build and mantain an artificial sense of continuity with the past.

Looknat the Queen during lock down, attended her husbands funeral on her own and barely saw him in his last days at the hospital because the same restrictions that are applied to the public apply to the RF as well. In the 1900s there was a water restriction and people were told they could only have small baths and the king at the time, the Queens grandfather followed this rule too... there are many examples of this, unlike most rich people or celebrities the BRF do not view themselves as above the people. The relationships with foreign leaders and the BRF are so strong, they are admired and respected which is like a security for our country in a way. I'm probably rambling now but there's so much they do for us

Wow! That was fantastic! A clear & precise analysis 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have dual Australian/Canadian Citizenship, and I'm here to say - we need the Queen. The monarchy has been downplayed and sidetracked in both countries for a long time, but it is now starting to matter more. I think this is for two reasons. The first is, we are in a period of tremendous instability and if you look at our politicians (and not just in CAN/AUZ), they are largely garbage. Selfish, no concept of public service, no respect for the law or our customs and culture. The Queen is the EXACT opposite of those things. She is the living embodiment of tradition, of public service and of duty. She is the last slender link we have to a past where we could be PROUD of our countries and our governments, even if we hadn't voted for them personally. The second is that the monarchy is a vital link between the English Speaking countries - Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. As America visibly shakes and declines, we need to come together, stand together and work together - we need #CANZUK now! The fact that all these countries have the same head of state, the same language, similar histories, similar levels of education and health care, etc. make it a lot easier for us to form a block. Only when the Queen passes away will we realize how much she mattered, quietly doing her duty, day after day, year after year, representing us to ourselves and the world, carrying out the ceremonies and customs that underpin and form a foundation for so much.

Because the Crown is a constitutional limited monarchy, it allowed the people to become wealthy and free, compared to an absolute monarchy. I always recommend looking into the work of Sir John Fortescue, he had to flee and lived in France for a while in the 15th century, and he saw the difference between the two kinds of monarchs. In an absolute monarchy, the king can do whatever he wants to the people, constantly raise taxes for whatever they want, destroy their property and the people have no recourse. In a limited monarchy, they have checks in the ability to tax and the people have the right of redress, so if there monarch destroys your property you can sue them and get the value. That encourages wealth and business, because the monarch can't just take what you've saved and earned. There's a lot of people who sort of drag on Magna Carta now, but it really was a revolutionary document that allowed the British people to become free and prosperous, compared with other European countries at the time, and continued to do so long after it was created.

In a republic individual rights are protected and can't be removed unless the individual takes away someone else's rights (commits a crime against someone else).

While I respect and understand the perspective on this matter, I feel like it has a critical flaw… People are basing this off the assumption that all future monarchs will be like Elizabeth, who has reigned with fairness and humility for nearly a century. But every future monarch will not be Elizabeth and it’s only a matter of time before a bad seed becomes the successor (imagine Megan Markel, but 1,000x worse entitlement and an unlimited amount of money/power! Or even worse, imagine someone like “Randy Andy” becoming the monarch). The main issue arises when you have no real recourse or power to remove a tyrannical monarch. They have more power than the government- so they can change the rules to benefit themselves, making it so they cannot be removed AND there is no “term limit” for monarchs, so you could potentially end up with a horrible tyrannical king/queen/etc reigning for as many decades as Elizabeth-and you’re pretty much just stuck with it! Unless someone is willing to try assassinating them -or enough powerful nations agree to basically start WW3 in order to forcibly remove them… you’re screwed!! I know people think that the entire nation and parliament would “rise up” and stop any abuse of power-and that they have the ability to keep the crown in check! But no. The system only works when the majority is willing to play by the same set of rules. Once that’s no longer the case, there’s not much anyone could do to stop them. After countless generations of rulers, they have amassed far more power, money, political connections and international influence than basically anyone else on earth could ever imagine having (or fighting)-making it nearly impossible to stop them, if ever the need arrived. It’s a great concept in theory, but that’s not how the real world works. Because absolute power, corrupts absolutely.

The Monarchy as our head of state is non political and works for the good of the people on a British and International level. The costs are low compared to what the US pays for it’s presidency. The country benefits from tourism and visitors to the palaces and events. Think of how divided the US is at the moment and think of Britain trying to work together to effect change peacefully. There is no, and has never been, a competition except in the medias tiny minds. As you see happening, The Crown Always Wins because the people support it.

Coincidentally, I am reading a biography of Washington with my third grade class! Great timing on your part,.as always. So many lessons to be learned about his strength through adversity.

Of course, we have debated Washington's ownership of slaves and that horrific practice. Still, there is so much to be learned from his example!!!!

GSTQ and the BRITISH MONARCHY 🇬🇧 And every family has problematic individuals. In recent History, Prince Andrew's shocking behaviour has brought utter shame and embarrassment , and Fergie was never in her place in the Royal family. Then there's NARC-LE ; that woman has brought nothing but pain conflict and chaos to both her own and the BRF. Sickening. And now she has poisoned Harry who has become as insufferable as she is. Their children are next . I feel so sorry for those kids because they will be messed-up for life.

Gosh, you are an amazing analyst. I wish there were more people like you.

I love your videos, as always 💕 They are well researched and well presented. Definitely will listen to such educated opinions. It’s funny, because I recently had a discussion with my brother regarding this topic. I found that, as I got older I dislike the celebrity culture even more. When I do seek and consume the so called “entertainment news”, it would be interviews of actors, directors, comedians, etc, about their creative process. It would give me some inspiration and motivation for my own creative process, but I am just not interested in their personal life. But with celeb culture, it has gotten more and more ridiculous. Especially with how the social media has evolved these days. These celebs are trying to shove their audience with opinions, product placements, and a bunch of terrible life advice. And they could never be held accountable for all of those things they do. People often criticize and dismiss the relevance of the modern monarchy with their shallow understanding in history and sociology. As for me who actually study those subjects in college, I actually really think the modern monarchy is very relevant. Influencers has always exist since the beginning of time. Whether their status are confirmed by the religious belief, wealth, intelligent, beauty, or the number of their followers, they exist in every period of human history. The problem is, the mainstream celebs and social media influencers does not have the same accountability as the royals. True, there had been a bunch of terrible leaders and royals throughout the history, but their influence and authority stopped working when they don’t act according to the value leaders should have anymore. Also, the British Monarch has changed a lot since the world wars. The way they position themselves and operate in the modern world is good enough to make themselves relevant. They don’t make it all about them anymore, they put spotlight on issues and people in need while they act as the middleman.

To be fair… Washington didn’t really want the job in the first place but took it to keep the peace between the different groups of convention, but it still makes an effective point for obligation and duty vs personal wishes. RIP Queen Elizabeth.

Nicely done! I so enjoy your videos. You are so professional. Much love.
