The origins of the English monarchy began with the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain by Germanic settlers from mainland Europe in the 5th and 6th centuries. The settlers were not ethnically related to the original indigenous people of the British Islands, i.e. the Celtic. Cornish and Welsh tribes. The so-called current English royals are descendants of European royalty, most notably the German Hanoverians, who were also related to the Russian Romanovs, the last royals in pre-revolutionary Russia. In 1917, George V changed their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor to make it sound English. Britons regard this so Britishness is about as bizarre as one could possibly imagine. It is also bizarre that some British people continue to OBSESSIVELY FAWN over the current representatives of this old institution which has an EVIL HISTORY and a PRISON - LIKE LIFESTYLE.

A Cult of Personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods to create an idealized, and at times, a ' god-like or a goddess-like ' public image, through Unquestioning Flattery and Praise. (Charles, his deceased mother Elizabeth, deceased Philip, William, Anne, Kate, Camilla including the other representatives) What is a CULT-? The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, ( Charles ) Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged. The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act and feel. The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader and members, ( Charles and the other representatives ) The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society. The leader is extremely protected and does not give interviews. ( Charles ) The leader is not held accountable to any authority. ( Charles ) Unquestioning adulation is expected from the followers. It is obvious as to why Harry preferred to have his FREEDOM from such an ABNORMAL and a PRISON - LIKE lifestyle. Kate may have decided to do likewise. Over one thousand people followed the Peoples Temple CULT led by Jim Jones and ended up DEAD. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS CULT OR ANY DANGEROUS CULT. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The so-called English royals represent an old cult-like institution with a very bad history and the following words would apply to it. Racist, Incest, Adultery, Immorality, Tyranny, Brutality, Genocide, Slavery, Theft, Dysfunctional, Aloof, Extremely Secretive, Irrelevant, Suffocating Formality, Abnormal and a Prison - Like Lifestyle. Edward's and Simpson's allegiance to Hitler. Andrew / Epstein and Charles / Jimmy Savile. Diana's arranged / forced marriage to Charles and his horrible treatment of her. Philip and his affairs, Anne divorced. Andrew Divorced, Charles divorced. Andrews association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He visited Epstiens island 26 times so it is said while investigating Epstiens. Henry VIII divorced two of his wives and the other two were BEHEADED-! Henry VIII was responsible for thousands of deaths. Hanged, Drawn and Quartered as well as Burning at the Stake were very evil ways to be killed. Charles was tried and executed for treason. William who carried out genocide in the north of England. American President Jefferson branded George a plundering tyrant.

Republics have their own problems and costs. They have some checks and balances to limit power but given the populace electing a head of state does not guarantee a better navigation of statecraft . Perhaps more so because it turns it into another political system. Democracy is always in danger of descending into tyranny as Plato said. We have only to see how dictatorships can destroy another democracy with current events. A constitutional monarchy is one way to challenge alternative systems that concentrate power and personal gain for a few. Perhaps some objective analysis and comparison of different systems than trashing one form without such a comparison, would yield a better understanding of the inner workings of what is being trashed!

You make some good points. I agree that it's overoptimistic to assume that switching to a republic would automatically make everything fairer and more democratic. The US is a Republic and ranks lower in democracy rankings than the UK. That said, it's hard to deny that there are a lot of troubling issues surrounding the monarchy, and the more I learn about it the more problems there seems to be. While you say that a constitutional monarchy challenges systems that concentrate power, ours also centralises power in the Prime Minister, making our PM more domestically powerful than most others in Europe. And some of the royals are able to effectively veto laws that negatively impact their financial interests. At least an elected head of state could be more accountable, and couldn't dodge things like the Freedom of Information act so easily. In response to your final point, since the interview was with the CEO of republic, the story was why he thinks we should abolish the monarchy. I am, however, producing a video featuring an interview with a monarchist. It was supposed to be done immediately after this one, but it was very delayed because of Covid, so will be out early next year. It doesn't go too much into the inner workings of different types of systems, but does explore the reasons a monarchist has for being a monarchist. So I hope you enjoy it when it comes out 🙂

I wonder what would happen with events such as the Trooping of the Colours? Would it still happen, with the President taking over the role of the King or Quenn? Or would that be one of a handful of times each year the royal family is rolled out of hiding? Would the Changing of the Guard continue in it's present form, with the exception that it's much more ceremonial than it currently is? Does the royal family's possessions simplay all get handed back, or do they get to retain one homestead for that immediate family? Reducing the households would greatly impact the costs of retaining some of the sites as tehy would need to be renovated more completely than they are currently. I also think that the tourism dollars might actually increase if visitors have more access to Buckingham Palace, Kensignton, and Windsor if the royal family is no longer in residence there.

I’ve got a bad feeling about a Western European country abolishing monarchy We saw what happened to france

Here is why they should never: Oliver Cromwell.

I think there’s a place for royalty but not in the constitution and not publicly funded. For example in Greece, Austria and Italy some people still follow their royal families and of course the UK royals should keep their family properties and traditions but they shouldn’t be able to amend any laws or have any authority or meet regularly with the head of state or be funded by the British people. We should have a president as our head of state and the Windsor-Mountbattens can be a historical and mystical noble family like they are now. I say this because I see lots of people resent them etc… which is unfair, they were born into money but so what? As long as they don’t need to be sustained by the rest of the country I don’t see a problem, but I do see a problem with tax going to people holding their office because their mother/father held it. It’s our national tradition, and we should cherish that, but it shouldn’t be our future or the basis of our constitution.

Also the whole economy is based on them so if you want to be free you must return all you have gained from it, these republicans are like Indians in the US who want "their" land back and all the modernization free!! Sure have your land back once you return to a teppee and stone axe and pay for all you have usurped

It’s easy to fool people, people need to stop being so gullible…….

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, Brexit doesn't give me much hope for referenda in the UK. People can't be bothered to do their research and are happily swayed by populist trash. Sadly that's most of the electorate worldwide. We shouldn't be surprised

Just like democracy

The whole system needs changing but until the population wake up, the feudal system will stay. Everyone should be taught politics and what the parties represent or else we will still be working and subsidising the rich and privileged. It is obscene how we pay for them through our taxes while a lot of surfs can't get on the housing ladder or afford a holiday. A lot of good comments are made about the Queen but if she cared the taxes would not be up to an all time high and food and fuel so expensive. They are taking the mickey. Those palaces and houses have been paid for by us and taxing the rich especially the rich unworking like the royals and fuel company owners paying minimum wage could subsidise good quality food and low cost fuel and insulation. It would pay properly for the NHS. Instead the current deal is work pay taxes fund the nhs but you won't get an ambulance but pay for nursing care with all the money you've earned. Wake up but rather these parasites than Putin.

Yes abolish the monarchy

Who has the authority to abolish the sovereign? I suspect it would be illegal to abolish the monarchy, just like the law didn't allow Charles I to be tried, so they resorted to a mock-trial and murdered him. This video seems to demonstrate a pop-culture misperception of reality, which has been propagated by that which spewed forth from the French Revolt. I suggest having a clear understanding of the merits of monarchy (they exist) before choosing to throw the monarchy away like so much trash. To let the legacy of French Revolters do your thinking for you, is not wise. It's extremely ironic to follow after radicalism, and then to say it's not a radical position because Europe has already submitted itself to radicalism. The world is falling apart, due to the nature of democratic forces. What yall should desire, is a male sovereign who does his job rather than just being a mascot. What yall should not desire, is to plunge into the Globalist Conspiracy Against Humanity. A good king will prevent Britain from being the dystopia that the Globalist Order is certainly going to be. Based on his parrot-like rhetoric, the anti-royal guy sounds very naive, and like he worships some ideal as if it is God. That false god is going to destroy England, if yall let it. The day may come when the British Monarchy is the only thing that can strive back against the Globalist Tyranny which is to come and is already desperately striving to assert itself against Humanity. I sure hope yall don't take the monarchy for granted; that could have devastating consequences for the whole world (maybe, maybe not; alot of things can happen)... of course, that thing where yall are now leaving the throne open to Romanist (Papist) infiltration, needs to be fixed.

A constitution would definitely be a step in the right direction

@thesaturdaytechchannelwith553

9 ай бұрын

I disagree. As good as a codified constitution aesthetically sounds, you have to consider the fact when a legal constitution is signed into law at a particular point in time then every subsequent generation who come after that constitution are essentially shackled to a constitution/system of government. So if future generations want to adjust the system of governance to be able to effectively solve the issues of their day then they can't do that if their chained to a constitution that they have no say over that is written by people who are long gone. Codified constitutions sound good but ultimately such legal documents always cause more problems than they solve. A possible compromise is to perhaps have a list of bill of rights which sets a moral legal standard for that country to uphold. Technically speaking, we do kind of have that we the English bill of rights however I do agree that we do need a second bill of rights to remind the people and ruling classes/institutions alike where the moral legal line stands. Therefore what the UK has at present is actually waay better than what most other countries like the US have as we have a uncodified constitution which allows for people within their respective eras of time to change without chaining people to outdated systems of governance.

Yeah fair point. I'm definitely grateful for our National Health Service. It has flaws, but it's one of the best things about Britain in my opinion. The education thing used to be true, but the government increased tuition fees in to £9,000 per year a while back so it isn't anymore. The way the debt is repaid is less brutal than in the USA, though. But still, the monarchy is pretty archaic. An elected head of state would definitely be more accountable and a more democratic way to go about things. And while Europe does have its fair share of monarchies, most European countries are republics.

That's really a pretty poor and illogical argument! You clearly didn't learn any principles of logic in your education. And for the record - the royal children are brought up, coached and taught to understand and how to perform their duties over many years. This is not a reason why monarchy is necessary but yours is one of quite a few stupid and poorly-presented arguments on this page.

As an American living in the UK, I can definitely appreciate the urge to a republic. And just for fun I've contemplated what form a British republican government might take. What would it be called? One would have to call it the Republic of the British Isles or something like that. It would hardly do to have a Republic of the United Kingdom, without a king/queen to go with it. Or let Northern Ireland go its own way and call it the Republic of Great Britain. Or let Scotland go its own way and then you'd have the Republic of England and Wales. Imagine the flag! On the other hand, no, no, let's not. The government could take a more rational form (the current Westminster system sucks big time), but the monarchy is the country's saving grace. And what's wrong with a nobility? The Duke of Norfolk in his magnificent castle in Arundel can't go around beating people over the head any longer, like the nobles of long time ago. And what do you call it if you take away the property of all these nobles and royals? It's called "theft" never mind how they got in the first place (happened back in 1066, in case you were wondering). Take it away and you're just as bad as the Spaniards who conquered Latin America and stole all the land that belonged to the Incan and Mayan empires. And if the government can do that to the royals and nobles, then they can do it to you just as easily. There's a reason why there is a _right_ to property. Rule of law applies to everyone. Or should. And does maintaining the royals cost too much? Check out CGP Grey's interesting video on the subject: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJytu8mnmMuxdto.html

I was just praising the Queen when a friend informed me of Harry & Meghan's warm visit with the Queen. I was shocked for a minute and then I remembered something I'd forgotten. Family will always come first with the Royals regardless of what they say or do. At the end of the day, Blood is Thicker Than Water and they STILL BELIEVE the people have inferior blood. I feel badly for the King of the Netherlands, who will now look like a petty fool, at best. He was standing up for the Honor of the House of Windsor and the Royal Family as well as the people of the U.K. What a fool he must feel like today. I can only imagine the disappointment and anger as he was updated of the Sussex's Welcome by the Queen. I can't imagine anyone else will follow his lead now. He stood firm and all doors would have closed for them and the Queen welcomes them. I've never been more disappointed in the Monarch as I never saw this to be a possibility from the Queen. I, like so many, thought Prince Charles would weaken but it's both of them. Now, the entire family will follow and the House of Windsor will lose the respect of the people. Harry and Meghan attacked the British people as well as the entire Country. My guess is no one is very pleased about this news. You Have a Right to be Angry & Upset! It's time the people had control of their country. The Royal Family, while entertaining, has managed a wealthy lifestyle for all their family members. It has to stop if the people ever intend to move forward into the future. Bowing and curtsying are adorable from the little ones but not so much when you see an elderly man or woman doing so to someone like Harry or Meghan. They've done nothing to deserve such an honor. The way things are going, I think it's possible they'll be King and Queen sooner than anyone can imagine. They never really wanted out. They just wanted to be on top as King & Queen, which they will be! No one will help now. The Queen has now shown the World she's welcoming them back! Forget the racism, forget the stolen money and jewelry, forget the slander, forget Prince Philip, forget the fake pregnancies, forget the children no one in several countries has ever seen or heard a peep from, forget no real doctor's signatures, forget how Meghan treated pregnant (real pregnancy) Catherine, forget the jokes and making fun of the Queen with her comedian friends, forget how badly she treated 3 year old princess charlotte, forget how they've told the entire world how unsafe the U.K. is, forget how awful they've talked of everything and everyone! Or, Abolish the whole thing and move forward! Don't allow them to rule you. They're destroying William and Catherine now! Best of luck and God Bless Each and Every One of You! You deserve better! You're just as good and better than most of the Royal Family. remember the ones you've loved married into that family! They weren't Royals! WE have loved these, the BEST! Princess Diana, Queen Mum, Prince Philip, Mike Tyndall, Kate Middleton, Duchess, Countess of Wessex 'Sofie' King George married the The Queen Mum, a Commoner, who had Queen Elizabeth (1/2 royal maximum, then Elizebeth married Prince Philip who was a full Royal of Greece and they had Prince Charles who married, Commoner, Princess Diana They had Prince William who is only part Royal and He married a Commoner, Kate Middleton, Duchess, their son, Prince George is how much Royal? william married Commoner, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge so how much Royal Blood is going to their children, George, Charlotte & Louis? , Not much at all, if any and most of that would be coming from Prince Philip's Mount Batten Royal Line not the U.K. If you write it all done you will be surprised at ti see how little Royalty is even left. Not much, if any. Between Germany, England, Scotland is the bloodline. The real Royals are Germans who took their name from the Royal Castle Named Windsor when war broke out its Germany!
