The Royals’ Future Is Looking Messy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- The British Monarchy is facing a long-dreaded question: can the Crown still feel as culturally important without Queen Elizabeth II, or is the new King Charles already doing irreparable damage to its relevance? The public grief over the Queen that poured out over the Queen’s death spoke to widespread admiration for how she did her duty, and had an almost grandmotherly relationship with the nation. It’s an understatement to say the Queen’s firstborn son, King Charles, has never enjoyed the same popularity. Prince William and his future Queen Consort Kate, are far more popular, but what could happen to the institution in the time until they succeed Charles? And will Harry and Meghan being away from the UK hurt this picture - or according to some recent suggestions, actually help things?

Calling the funeral of a British queen the most important moment the world will ever see is a pretty clueless and narrow-minded sentiment. He makes it seem like her death creates a huge power vacuum or something. It’s not even the most important thing that happened this year. If you’re sad about it, fine, but there’s no reason that people should feel obliged to feel any sort of way about her passing.
That statement was utterly ludicrous! Talk about out of touch!
@@kwoylee5617 she was a symbolic figurehead with a lot of controversy that people overlook. Regular people are living through a pandemic and a lot of economic and social strife. Forgive us if we have a right to not get down on our knees and sob over a woman’s death we will never know, especially when she represented something negative for many communties?
@@Emily-yl7eh i am pretty sure the statement the other was referring to was the one in the video calling it "the most important moment", not the comment
I think Brexit created a much bigger power vaccum in european politcs.
@@Emily-yl7eh there is a massive difference between being overwhelmed by a huge moment in history and "down on our knees and sob over a woman’s death." People are allowed to feel their complicated feelings, even if they aren't the same as yours.
As a Brit, I’m growing more and more apathetic to the royal family.
It is strange that Liz is now gone. It definitely has that end of an era feeling to it, especially since she was queen for the entire 27 years of my life. But I find it very hard to care about any of the royals right now. I find myself agreeing more and more with anti-monarchists, namely why should we care?
We are going through a huge economic crisis right now. We have far more important things to worry about then whether or not Charles can stop having a victim complex.
What I find interesting is how so many Brits have such a different view of each individual family member when they're all cut from the same cloth, I mean literally the Queen squeezed out a kiddie fiddler for fucks sake and he was her favourite child whose millions in hush money she personally funded
The 'planned' economic crisis is courtesy of the W.E.F, World Economic Forum, founded by eugenicist Klaus Schwab and the No. 1 patron King Charles, photographed with Schwab and Vaclav Havel as early as 1992. WEF Great Reset motto: You will own nothing and be happy. Anyone who believes that the satanic cult called Royalty have ever given 2 hoots about the 'people' are seriously deluded. Its a show. They are the mob who run and control all the worlds human trafficking and arms sales. They initiate every war in every corner of the globe. Time to wake up. All the worlds dictators have links to the UK, with most WEF members who were part of the WEF Young Leaders program, including Putin, while the North Korean Jong-Uns were UK educated.
We've always had FAR more important things to think about. It's the people that made the monarchy what it is. A living symbol of colonialism - past and ongoing.
Indeed. Charles need to take a page from his dear mother and not show emotion. Look up and carry on! 🇬🇧
@@ShindlersFiist not showing emotion can be damaging
I’m disappointed that y’all haven’t included some of the very valid critiques people have of the crown like it’s place in colonialism and imperialism. Also how people were arrested for speaking out.
Yess
Agreed
Capitalism is what is ultimately to blame for all the horrors tied to imperialism and colonism. The French did far worse for Haiti despite their oh so progressive national motto of liberty, equality and fraternity. It's a whole lesson in why you should never trust politicians and their liberal hypocrisy.
Agreed. They needed to consult with a POC on this. Someone from one of the former colonies, like India.
@@AC-ze1nh The Oxford speech by Mr. Shashi Tharoor was one of the finest ones for calling them out.
As an American, the royals just seem like a celebrity dynasty with political power they were born into. Maybe consider, I don't know, not having a monarch?
The royal family is NOTHING LIKE a celebrity dynasty. The royal family is an 1000 year old institution weaving British history, politics, culture, national identity and so much more! Your kind of mentality is exactly the reason why moaning Markle happened. The Monarch is NOT the American electoral government nor is it Hollywood. The royal family has a significant role in culture and state level international diplomacy, the King/Queen read state papers everyday, not to mention the countless charities they represent. Kindly stop projecting one's own limited lens when looking at other cultures and histories. American systems and culture are not the be all and end all!
Like you said, you’re an American… 🙃

I hate when Monarchy dramas try to make us pity them because of how inhuman it is to be a Royal, how they can't be normal people, how they are tied to duty... Well of course, this is literally what Monarchy means. If they don't like it they can leave and let country have an elected head of state.
Easier said than done
@@ninjaked1265 It's been done at least twice before.
agree, spare me the pitty.
Unfortunately for you, the British government is tied well with the Crown meaning the royal family aren’t a loose thread that can be cut off from the country with ease. Also, the British royal family went through numerous crisis before you were conceived therefore it is not assessment that just based on not on your knowledge but your impression. I just hate how the media and public overdramatize the situation when in fact, 2022 is far better than 1936.
@@kensh851 First, I'm not British, even though I'm living in the UK right now. I'm from another country with a Monarchy, so my point was to mean that I can't have any empathy for the inhumanity they suffer, when the Monarchy is based precisely on the fact of non being a regular human. So my point was not directed just to the British royalty.
Second, a lot European countries got rid of their Monarchs even though they were historically tied to the country, and sometimes, without the extremely gruesome violence of the first French Revolution.
The Queen absolutely intervened politically all the time. She just did it outside of publiv view (which is an idea Charles can't seem to wrap around his head). She infamously lobbied the govt for carve outs for the royal family in inheritance taxes of their massive property holdings, which they got. If the Brits have any sense, they'll ditch the monarchy or at least let NI, Scotland, and Wales off their sinking ship.
You know one of those times she got involved was around South Africa
Yea this whole "Take" episode is so gross. This woman actively AND passively was the benefactor of EXTRAORDINARY Theft and acts of evil. The French had it right with the guillotine. This is gross. Give all of that estate back to The People it was stolen from.
Came here to comment the same. Ppl watch too much TV uplifting the monarch
YEAH and colonialism
Dont forget India..
Let’s talk about other royal family drama like in Denmark. The queen stripped the prince and princess titles from her youngest son’s 4 children so they could live normal lives and have freedom from the crown. All of them are whining about it being their whole identity.
You can have normal lives with a title there are several princes with a title that work for a living and they aren't whining if your grandma decides to take your birthright away from you then you would think differently also all the children stripped are biracial coincidence I think not. The older siblings were all working separetly and had jobs so there was no need just pettiness
If one trait you possess defines your entire identity of course they need to learn to live normal lives.
@@now2467 the two eldest sons are half Asian. The younger two aren’t biracial. They have different moms. Also they were told in advance this would eventually happen. It’s not the end of the world. His two eldest sons are freaking models. They’ll move further down the line to irrelevancy once their younger cousins start their own families. Anyways I think monarchies are irrelevant so I could honestly care less.
@@now2467 If the monarchy has to issue letters patent to bestow a title on a person it is NOT a birthright it is a gift from the monarch. And since letters patent can be issued by a subsequent monarch that amend or change previously issued letters patent, any title that one may have been entitled to can change depending on the desires of the reigning monarch. Check it out -- titles are not birthrights - that is an ignorant characterization by Meghan Markle the wife of the unintelligent son of the reigning British monarch who he has disrespected in the extreme. I don't fancy his children's chances for titles -- and they have no birthright to any. They are entitled to be granted titles if the reigning monarch so desires.
Just like Harry. But unforgettably he is almost forty lol
So *Lady Diana* died over 20 years ago, no longer a royal at the time... and *till this day,* she is still the *most beloved "royal".* RIP the people's princess ☆ as well as the queen.
It was just the 25th anniversary of Diana's death.
@@sandraaustin1449 And days later the Queen died
People make monarchs, they don't make themselves. Princess Diana is the People's Princess because she is the only one people were willing to follow.
I'm a foreigner living in Scotland and I was here when the Queen passed. The monarchy isn't going anywhere. People just love it; it gives them something to gossip about
That's awfully expensive for entertainment. Why not just watch soap operas instead?
That’s probably the most honest take on the subject. It completely makes sense. I don’t really like gossip but most people do. Sometimes I do want to hear it, but I don’t spread it. Probably why everyone tells me everything
It also keeps the tourists coming. They would probably still keep coming, but the royals alone are believed to create upwards of $2.5 billion USD per year.
@@larkmacgregor3143 the royals are the best reality show on earth, it’s been running for 1000 years 😅 this person is right, gossiping about the royal family is a British pastime.

Dear The Take, the Crown is not a documentary, it's fictional.
They're talking about public perceptions on the royals, and fiction can affect that.
It's because of the Crown that I learned that the Queen had 2 cousins who had been secretly sent to a psychiatric hospital and listed as dead. I actually gasped when I found this was a fact and not fiction.
@@kellym.6777 Exactly. It might be fiction but it's based on real events.
@@dianamarcekova9615 When the first 2 seasons focused on young Elizabeth and her rise to the throne everyone was applauding, cheering, explaining how the series truly helped the younger generation to connect to the British Crown, its monarch and it's grandeur. Now that Diana entered the chat everyone wants to remind everyone that it's 'fiction' lolol like there aren't millions of archives - articles, videos, documentaries, interviews, books, which actually prove that reality was even more bleak and sinister. I actually think that the Crown embellishes what truly happened. They could have adressed Diana trying to k*ll herself while pregnant with William and so much more! But they did not.
@@kellym.6777 I remember people talking about how the Queen watches the crown but now that it is mainly focused on Charles and Diana they all are like 'don't believe it it's just fiction' as if Charles wasn't a horrible husband and father(he was disappointed with Harry being a boy and ginger) and their marriage wasn't arranged by the BRF and the Spencers. Apparently after Diana's death people questioned to monarchy's importance. It was that impactful. And for a reason of course. It wasn't just about her death but also about the family's reaction who did nothing in the first few days after the announcement of her death. They needed several days to show they sorrow and sadness and address the nation. Sure they had to take care of some things but shouldn't be hard to release a statement. And when it happened everyone was happy again and welcomed the BRF as if the previous days never happened. It should have stayed in their memory so they could never forget how they treated Diana. They were able to do it once if not several times already. There's no way that they couldn't do it once again this time with Prince Harry's wife. Whatever your thoughts are on the issue it should be clear that they destroy the lives of whoever who tries to outshine them or doesn't follow the status quo.
For some reason I feel the English monarchy have the same appeal and plays the same role as the Kardashians...famous for no reason at all...I have seen all 4 seasons of The Crown and I still don't understand what exactly the royal family does...They don't take political decisions even though the Queen/King embodies the constitioution and has the loyalty of the Navy....what are they really? The head of Aristocracy?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@lunakitten._.4871 Well, enlighten us. What is it about the Royal Family? Is it nostalgia? I have never watched the Crown so I don’t know how the show affects Americans’ view of the monarchy. When I see King Charles, I see a government figurehead with no political power that represents a past history that is no more. It is hard to understand the attachment.
@@lunakitten._.4871 But most of the European countries have had queens and kings, emperors etc... and it was part of our culture as well, and now - even though we have streets named after them, history books written about them etc. - we have let it go, why can't British do the same? It's just honestly weird to me, Royal family takes away so much tax money from the people of UK, millions upon millions, when that money could be used for something else... It just feels so out of touch. Saying this without wanting to offend you.
The royal family is doing the work of the First wife of the President in USA and a few more tasks that is pure symbolism of transition of power. Swedens King open the year of Parliament. Norwegian King writes his signature on public documents to make sure they can be implemented and such things. It's not power per se, but continuous smooth path to the future.
@@lunakitten._.4871 Fair enough.
As a Welsh person, the decision to appoint William and Kate (two English people), Prince and Princess of Wales, shows their opinion of Wales, and therefore further solidifies my opinion of the royal family. Wales does not need, and has never needed, an English Prince nor Princess of Wales.
Agreed! William has known his entire life that one day this will be his role, yet he's done nothing to build ties with Wales, no attempt to learn the language, have any kind of connection with the people, other than a few months being stationed in Anglesey. But he'll happily take the title. Time to end this particular bit of home-grown colonialism.
It's a title. He has no authority over Wales.
@@jadapinkett1656 No shit Sherlock. Well done, you stated the bloody obvious. And for your next trick, will you tell us it's a title given to the heir to the English throne? Because being Welsh, we might not have known that.
Yah... if you look into the history the Brits should drop that title. Edward I brutally stole it from them in a deliberate act of humiliation. He gave it to his infant son to show just what he thought of the Welsh. If the British royals wanted to enter an enlightened era as they claim, they would stop using that title.
@Overwatch17 Where did you get that information from? Cite your source. Everything I can find says more than half of the Welsh want an end to the title, and *every* Welsh speaker I know opposes it's continuation. So please, prove me wrong, show me your source for "a clear majority" of Welsh speakers supporting the continuation of the heir to the English throne being called the Prince of Wales.
God Save The Taxpayers and The Former Colonies (along with Overseas Territories).
She may have been apolitical in Britain, but there people who died at the hands of her government knew her politics well…
She wasn't apolitical. This is a comforting lie Brits tell themselves about the monarchy. The crown is very political. The Queen vetted over a thousand parliamentary bills to protect the interests and wealth of herself and her family. Charles has already interfered with a bill that recently just passed in the Scottish Parliament.
The royal family are unelected parasites who enjoy undeserved power and wealth at the expense of everyone else. Republic now.
FACTS!
She had no ability to stop any war
not true, she's head of state but has no say, only rarely intervened such as supporting sanctions on apartheid South Africa
I don't know what you're referring to, but I can promise you she had no influence in foreign policy. Although if it did, her reign actually saw some of the most significant de-imperialism in history.
As a Brit, I can’t wait for the monarchy to finish its story and just bugger off!
I’m a Brit and I was surprised at my dads recreation to the death of the queen. He was pretty anti royalist and was actually upset when she died
Thank you for mentioning the Wales issue, I for one really appreciate that.
The misleading perception that it’s apolitical is real when it’s been proven that there was meddling by the Queen
Charles is one microphone short of being one of those guys with a podcast...
Oh god now imagine him going on Joe Rogan.
I just want to see Wales and Scotland independent, and Nothern Irland, all of these countries were forced to be on the United Kingdom, so will see how England face it all.
I just relized today that the royal family rules Canada as well
@@hadbetterdays8118 They don't 'rule'
anything. That implies they have governing or executive power.
It's a bizarre notion that the country to the north of me is officially called _The Monarchy of Canada_ . 😐
@@hadbetterdays8118 the commonwealth is huge
Scotland wasn't forced, it was a merger of crowns, i.e. James VI and I.
I would not be surprised at all if Scotland makes a push for independence, especially because they voted to stay in the EU. If Wales and N. Ireland feel the same, I rather imagine the EU would be happy to have them back!
Honestly, the new king should decree that he will be the last of the royal line and disolve the royal family as a concept.
Honestly, I think there is a vast difference between the way the RF is perceived oversees and the way it is perceived in Europe. Though people are critical of the institution in general, even more people still cling to the sense of tradition and historicality that is represented by the RF. William and Kate are far more popular in Europe than they are in the US and conversely Meghan and Harry are far more unpopular in Europe than they are in the US. As for Charles and Camilla - there are still many who resent them for Diana, but equally as man who have forgiven and forgotten. The monarchy will have to to reinvent itself now, just like it did every time the crown is passed on. But trust me, in unsteady crisis-ridden times like these, people cling even more to the comforting nostalgia represented by the Royals.
well said and the Queen's funeral was testimony of how the public feel towards the Royals
I think this comment is the most accurate. I can always tell when there's more of an American take because they seem hell bent on defending Harry and Megan, who are extremely polarizing and in my view I don't think are saints.
@@wonipowa7542 suppose it doesn't matter that Harry and Megan have been fed to the wolves. The amount of leaks that has come from the Palace according to Dan Wotton is worst than a sieve. The situation is of the firms making. Look back in history that is what the mechanics have always done, manipulate. Thank god social media leaves paper trail but I suppose it's easier to say Harry and Megan are the bad ones.
I agree, as an American I feel like a bunch of them live in a bubble. Unlike America the Queen was way more popular after the Harry and Meghan interview unlike in America. Plus I feel the Brits are way more annoyed with Meghan’s antics
@@wonipowa7542 The negativity of the British press against Harry and Meghan looks like a publicity hit job to those looking from the outside. The way that unknown royal sources and palace aides seem to pop up to provide their accounts makes it look like they are under attack by the Royal Family. It’s hard to take all that negativity in and not sympathize with them.
I'm a middle-aged Canadian who holds that there is no future for a monarchy in Canada. The gross inequality and outdated...conviction, maybe, that these people through the Divine Right of Kings somehow deserve their opulent lifestyle while "subjects" struggle to feed their children? I don't know, I just find it distasteful. And the whole Wales visit was embarrassing -- the inability (or refusal) to read the room and respect the history of the Wales' people's conflicted feelings toward the monarchy before a "unifying" visit to their homeland is undertaken? Yikes. Additionally, when a born and bred Canadian friend of mine who moved to England recently with her British husband told me of the startling class divide? -- I was done. I am not a believer in exalting some ppl over others. But above all, we must tackle the glaring issue of colonialism and the generational reverberations of that horrific practice. Thanks for hearing my hopefully polite Canadian rant! :-)
Praying for their downfall. They don’t deserve to hold such a high position in society.
I think they will survive. UK have been over Charles misdeeds, especially involving Diana. And once he dies, William takes over and the people LOVE him. I think it will be fine.
I disagree. Many do not forgive him and the fact Camilla is now queen is an insult to many. And i dont see this love for William at all. Many see see him as racist and like his father when it comes to affairs.
@@1986kerrichinchilla “many” isn’t reality in regards to William. He has earned a lot of goodwill in the uk&commonwealth general public that hasn’t been tarnished by twitter rumors with no actual proof of racism or infidelity
@@lunakitten._.4871 I can't speak for England, but I don't think anyone in the monarchy is much loved in the Commonwealth. If anything, I can far more countries choosing to follow Barbados in becoming republics
@@emilygalloway4865 You may be right. The Commonwealth countries may choose to become republics, but the BRF and UK may continue beyond that. William’s speech in Jamaica this year seemed like it was acknowledging they may elect to leave. I could definitely see him becoming king of only UK than a complete abolition of the monarchy or even breaking up the UK union.
@@nottherey4333 Like the pictures of him with the blonde women at a ski resort the week his wife gave birth? pictures like that?
As a American, I think they’ll be fine. I think Charles is trying to be apolitical despite his early role. The younger generation of William is still popular.
I hope people understand the Crown is not a hundred percent real Charles and Diana were very much mismatched as even the Crown shows. Overall nobody really knows what happend. I feel people still judge for something that happend 3 decades ago or more that he’s moved on and so has his family
It's also more largely political than The Crown. Like the years of Commonwealth colonialism and the British behavior towards marginalized groups and former colonies. Not much is done, and everybody blindly upholds the status quo. I mean, ignorance is bliss.
Just in time for the latest season of ‘The Crown’ which is going to feature the War of the Waleses and we’ll find a reason to hate him again.
Gosh, American's are sooo basic, can only ever see the world and people through the lenses of TV. What a sorry state America is in.
I hope season 5 is still on track for November this year
I love how this channel keep expanding its topics, thanks for the amazing work
Allow me to answer this question with another question: WHO CARES?
I wouldn't say that the monarchy is in danger, but certainly its end is more likely now than when queen Elizabeth was still alive. The institution recently was mostly based on the queen's personal prestige. Charles III is not loved by his people. His son is young and popular, but he will not be young and popular forever. However I don't think that this is the right moment to abolish the monarchy. Drastic changes can be dangerous, especially in a time of crisis. Removing now such an ancient and prestigious institution could lead to unpleasant consequences.
Just took a screenshot of this invaluable comment. Thx 😂❤
Yeah. To be honest there isn't much to be gained by getting rid of the monarchy but a lot to be lost by getting rid of it.
I understand the Caribbean wanting to cut ties (even though they will regret doing so in the near future as rising sea levels and stronger storms make having a strategic alliance with the UK and Canada ever more important.
As for the UK, the monarchy has done an ok job at being mildly progressive for the most part. Granted there are a lot of bad apples in the family, but in general they have been consistent in helping the older folks in Britain get used to social change. It might not seem like a lot to go dancing with an African president these days, but in the 1950s that was a huge deal that solidified amongst the elites of the UK that a new age was dawning. Likewise knighting Elton John in 1998 at a time when LGBT teenagers were forced to remain in the closet at British schools was a pretty big deal. Losing this would have made it easier for reactionary forces to gain power in the UK. (My argument here is that the Royal Family helps clamp down reactionary forces and reinforces a general idea of social progress in British society).
Let's also consider the soft power the Royal Family has in promoting the UK diplomatically. As brand ambassadors, the Royal Family is a huge asset that the UK can and often does use to help make key deals. Granted that Charles will have a tougher time with this, but William and Kate are pretty well liked and will probably keep this up to some extent.
They've been scaling it back, and both Charles and William seem to be committed to that. This is what the "She's a colonialist, abolish the monarchy!" edgelords don't get. This is a process. It will take a couple generations. There has been a monarchy for over a thousand years. I know lots of people want a big, dramatic event where everyone's ousted from Palaces, and world leaders swarm the British Museum to reclaim artifacts. But sorry, it's not effective nor realistic.
@@DS-uh6ss Rapid changes can often cause more problems than those they solve.
@@DS-uh6ss I am all for world leaders swarming the British Museum to reclaim artifacts. I hope I live to see it, would be a great thing to behold.
There is a vast difference between the European and the American understanding of royal houses. That is why this take on the British Royal Family is so one-sided.
That if you ignore the little pesky little detail that William is not as different as his father, and he is a cheater, and Middleton cares more about her new position that her dignity, she is no Diana, at least she try to escape, but Middleton is willing to accept William affairs in favour of her position.
As an African
The Royal Family is enjoying on
The blood and Abuse of my ancestors
The gold and Sliver they sleep on is my ancestors tears 😭 and will always follow so as the pain
as a native American I can relate they still claim the wildlands of Canada as personal holdings
I have never followed the royal family on the media, but I did tune in after Queen Elizabeth's death.
After doing so, I have to say that these are not people whose behavior I find inspiring or would want to emulate.
Great Britain presents itself as a nation of peace and a representative of high culture; however, the members of its first family don't behave in peaceful and cultured ways. They embarrass, ignore, exclude, humiliate, cold-shoulder, and spite each other. It appears that they have not been exposed to more civilized, effective ways of communicating or finding solutions to interpersonal problems.
It also seems that these behaviors and problems have an intergenerational aspect.
I am guessing that, if this family left its royal regalia at home, went to a counseling center, and presented itself as an ordinary family, the intake counselors would recommend treatment.
The same counselors and mediators who were able to bring forth forgiveness in the conflict between the families living in Irish Republic and Northern Ireland might be able to create improved communication and forgiveness in this fractured family as well.
I wish that the family could get help along this line. It is painful to watch the family members behaving in ways that only perpetuate their suffering. It would be wonderful to see the family maturing to the point where it could model the behaviors enjoyed by healthy, emotionally productive families. It is said that, As the family goes, so goes the nation.
Britain is never going to get rid of the monarchy. The Tory party is never going to call for that referendum especially not after what happened last they tried something like that. As for the Labour Party there never going to make that call either because there will always be more important things to be doing. So that’s kind of it really so the monarchy is here to stay.
As for the union it’s self that’s not going anywhere. London would have to allow a vote and there just never going to do that. Even if they did though I doubt they would leave, a lot of people still like the union.
I enjoy your channel greatly. You know "The Crown" is a TV show, though, right? I mean, you might as well show clips from "The Windsors", Oh, what a good idea. I'm going to re-binge "The Windsors".
The Windsor's is a brilliant satire.
I love The Windsors! 🤣
The monarchy, like all monarchies, need to be dissolved. It's a waste of money and anti democratic to have these people still around
Practically all governments are corrupt, not just monarchies. This is not a monarchy problem, it is a people problem. That’s why even democratic republican governments like the US give citizens the illusion of choice by having presidential elections, but only from 2 parties, and more often than not, the candidates are a choice for the lesser of 2 evils. I hope people wake up and try to fix problems in their own country instead of focusing on others while people continue to suffer.
Contrary to popular belief, The Royal family does have political powers with legislation and wealth. Not to mention the politicians worldwide whom they have in their pockets. Jake Tran covered this more in details.
... a knack... for neutrality? Wait a minute.... glossing over the colonial past and post-colonial present that the UK caused and profited on is quite gross. The world isn't only eurocentric... it's trying to stop being so. At the very least... a mention of these feelings, especially in the Caribbean and African commonwealth, would have given more credibility to this analysis.
I was shocked that Prince Andrew and Sarah, the Duchess of York had to live together. ‘Yuck’ would be an understatement because I don’t know she managed it.
She's still devoted to him as a friend so don't feel too sorry for her
The crown romanticed Margaret too much. She seems to have been an unpleasant person to be around with and her beauty is certainly overrated.
This monarchy is a constant reminder of brutal suppression and deep trauma under colonial rule. They have deliberately tried to sweep their dark past under the rug and have never apologized. Its fitting that it implodes under its own filth.
I don't really like Charles, but if you want some balance he's a passionate environmentalism, and was for many years before it was mainstream, he used to be seen as a bit of a weirdo for going on about these things.
But then why does he think that barbaric and cruel fox hunting is "romantic"?
@@mpGreen03 You can be cruel and an environmentalist, it's a bit odd but fox hunting didn't hurt the greater environment.

Charles unforgivable after Diana fiasco
To some people, yes, forever unforgivable. Others know the circumstances of the marriage were not good on both sides, including that while he had an affair with Camilla, Diana was also having affairs with multiple men, some married. Diana was a good person who did so much for people and earned people’s love, but she was not a saint. She was a human being with flaws like all of us, who made bad decisions, and she died in a tragic drunk driving accident far too young. They got divorced 26 years ago, he married Camilla 17 years ago, and as the world moved forward, many people also chose to forgive. I respect that you may not feel that way, but I know for myself that I can empathize with the other side
@@lunakitten._.4871 she slept with men to get back at him
I often contemplate that Queen Elizabeth's Husband was a narcissist, and perhaps King Charles is one also. It seems to me that King Charles is contemplating how to take revenge on anyone who caused him strife the last 60 years. It is a sad situation and too close to situations in politics, and leadership, everywhere in the world.
1:29 that cuttoff😂
As a non-Brit, I don't care for the Royal Family, & just ignore news about them.
I hope the Monarchy is abolished. This is no real need for monarchy in these modern times and collecting taxes from people who are already starving
Yes, but why people only talk about the British monarchy?
@@nath_s4069 bc that’s what’s most known. However other monarchies aren’t any better
@@markigirl2757 thats what i am saying i mean, all of them have done horrible things, spain was the worst in latin america, and yet everybody seen to have forget that.
@@nath_s4069 I get what you are saying but Spain hasn't been a "superpower" nation in a VERY long time. That's why they aren't really mentioned in conversations about prosperous nations nowadays, they have been in a crisis since 2008 (or even before). They have no modern colonies, Britain still does. That's why they are always mentioned in terms of imperialism. And the monarchy is a social structure that holds imperialistic values. Besides Great Britain was arguably the BIGGEST "colonizers" so yeah, the attention is on them. Besides the media mainly shoves their monarchy down our throats b/c they are still a cultural induing superpower unfortunately. And my issue with the Monarchy in general (not just in Britain) but the people pay taxes so that these royals can buy their outfits & jet around the world. Everyone knows that we are approaching/are in a recession (depending on where you are in the world), so think about not getting paid enough and your paycheck already takes insurance, state tax, city tax, and tax FOR THE MONARCHY FAMILY. The people in England a having problems heating OUR HOMES and yet we have to pay for King Charles' coronation and parties. My family in Spain can barely afford their rent and yet they have to pay for their King & Queen expenses while in a Crisis. But, like I said Spain isn't as publicized as England so no one outside of Spain cares what's going on there.
When the new season of The Crown releases this December, which will show Diana's death, it will definitely play a part.
As an American I love seeing this. Don't like Kings much.
Like many Brits have said, they don’t care what you like. It has nothing to do with you and your opinion on the subject is irrelevant.
The Queen was Aaron Burr: "Talk less. Smile more. Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for."
imagine thinking the monarchy should still exist in 2022
Most British people aren't really keen on republicanism.
Monarchy used to have purpose. To rule. And there were some Kings and Queens who were actually damn good at it, all over the world. The problem is of course the hereditary nature of Monarchy. It's total luck and the truly terrible Kings and Queens could (and did) cause great suffering. It's not a stable system and rule by majority is a lot more fair, well ideally. The instability of the various Monarchs only increased as inbreeding reared It's ugly head.
Monarchy is now a symbol, but the Commonwealth (ironic name given all the theft by England) has a choice. What kind of symbol do we want? What kind of traditions are we supporting? In what we hope to be a better era, we must ask ourselves these questions.
Theft you only see theft on a black and white reasoning. GB heritage has been a rather positive asset for the Commonwealth Nations.
Their great purpose is to avoid a lunatic becoming Head of State and Government, politicians are bound to their base, there are most advantages since the UK has been a stable country during the recent centuries while there have been dictatorships and coups everywhere in the world, Europe included.
so because the Monster High movie just came out, I was wondering if The Take will ever cover the Extranormal Institute trope, basically other than a magic school(The Worst Witch, Harry Potter, &The Magicians tv series), there's also monster themed schools(whether animated like Monsters University, The Owl House, Super Monsters, or an all Vampire academy) &superhero themed school (like in the X-Men franchise)
Legacies!
The did and they didn't Take too kindly to one Harry Potter.
A Monster High fan!
Okay, I'm sick of the people in the comment section saying "He's just lost his mother, he hasn't had a chance to grieve" as an excuse for the pen incidents. He is a grown a** man who has waited his ENTIRE life for the death of his mother to be what he was literally born to do. If you finally reach the long awaited peak of your existence and you choose to act like a brat, that shows the lack of humility in your character. How people behave when they have everything, despite the circumstances, shows what kind of person they really are. People need to stop trying to make light of his immature antics.
They need to disappear
Loool why did I expect yall to talk about and even acknowledge their spearheading of colonialism and slavery around the world? This is such a ridiculous take
Whatever love means
I wish they'd get real jobs.
To be fair they own alot of businesses i think it would be just fine to evict them and send them to a countryside villa.
Show biz is a job. It's like Renaissance fair but all day every day for them. Gotta promote em British brands & generate that revenue.
It is kinda sad to watch then Crown Prince, Prince of Wales, Prince Charles' recorded voice and video at the Buckingham palace tour thing some years ago.
The late Queen playing the Bond girl for the Olympics opening or a salesperson for the beloved Paddington bear or the marmalade sauce or jam or whatever it is?
Whether you love or hate them, the family definitely puts on a delicate image that is the 🇬🇧 to the world
The monarchy should have ended with the recent Queen of England. At this point, it’s just a figurehead. Their is no need for it.
This is a perfectly good opportunity to abolish the monarchy and nobility in England
Being here in Britain. It’s not the same without the Queen, the royals lost their best asset. 😐
But the monarchy remains popular, they’re going nowhere. I find it funny all the people that think they’ll be abolished. I can’t see it happening in my lifetime and I’m young. The public are way too addicted to the pageantry and royal gossip, royal fashion, royal babies, royal weddings.
They're just focusing on the liabilities, there is a great deal of awesome advantages of the British-Commonwealth Constitutional Monarchy and the King much more of a great public servant than most people outside the Commonwealth are aware of.
The Royals have always been MESSY LOL
God bless and peaceful rest your Magesty
Honestly the monarchy is over. It should be over.
People's positive feelings towards the royals strikes me as another parasocial relationship, but one fueled by national media and a lifetime of familiarity, rather than a single RUclips channel and the relatively short relevancy of an influencer.
Their positively to it comes off very out of touch and fucking weird I’ll forever judge people that literally worship figureheads like it’s the coming of Jesus or some bullshit. Borderline culty lol
Yep, a 1200 year parasocial relationship lol
Isn’t that the entire point? That people feel connected to the monarch even he/she doesn’t know them
As an African American, I don't condone the racist and colonial past that the British Monarchy upheld, but I still had deep respect for Queen Elizabeth as someone who was thrust into the role, adapted, and maintained such stability and structure through delicate neutrality for many years. That isn't easy to do, and I still feel sick I never got to visit the UK while she was alive. It feels that the UK is vastly different without her. I didn't realize how much I respected her until I saw the Paddington Bear and Queen Elizabeth II's little funny interaction in this video. I actually started to tear up. However, this doesn't mean that the Royal Family is excused from their deeds, and there still needs to be some changes.
I wish Anne could be Queen, tbh. She's like her mum.
YESSSS!!!!!!!!!
Apparently she is a snob and treats other people horribly.
I think this is the first time I heard the phrase ‘queen consort’, and somehow I really appreciate it
Well yeah because for the previous 69 years it's was a Queen who ruled and her husband was a Prince.
I think you underestimate Charles popularity with the youth. He’s always been outspoken about the environment and he is much more green than our current PM who has asked him not to attend the climate summit in Egypt
asking 4 a green army is a funny idea unless he is funding it himself
History History
All these people who have been worshiping the Queen and the whole monarch have no idea
where it all began
Could u please make a video about sexual revolution in 1960s and what made America change in "attitude" towards sex from taboo to normalised premarital culture?
They've made a man the Queen, what did they expect?
we have to take them down, it's time for the symbolic monarchy to end
Who is we? Are you seriously trying to say that random RUclips people need to take down a country’s 1000+ year government? Do you truly understand what that means and how millions will suffer economically around the world, not to mention the possible lives that will be lost in the process?
I think Charles should Abdicate, what’s the harm, it’s not the 1930’s anymore. William & Kate are far better suited and they’ll have a modern approach, and Charles & Camilla can retire happily
Really great video and explanation of why Queen Elizabeth was so good as a queen.
Harry should say what he thinks in his book. I doubt he said anything bad about his grandmother, and what is there to lose now? He's being turfed out of the family no matter what. Kate is indeed a shrew, just like in Shakespeare, and she can't tolerate sharing her little stage with anybody. Don't know about Will but he doesn't look too friendly either. Shame on all of those remaining in England as they put their noses in the air about *some* close members of their family.
… making the monarch too small is an issue that Japan is currently going through… hope they keep that in mind as they go forward…
I wish Anne could be Queen. ❤
Prince William has no shame by having an affair with his mistress in public. How long must Kate be subjected to this kind of behavior?
The fact that the Queen was still in the job of being "Head of State" as a 96-year-old on death's door makes a mockery of the institution.
I understand Charles' frustration. He had to wait really long to become a king whereas his mother was a queen at the age of 21. But anger would do him more damage than good.
And rest of the royals???? If they don't make some big transformation in the monarchy, then in next few years people would be yawning while watching them. They've got to do something to stay relevant.
As always, I recommend Shaun's video "Abolish the Monarchy! - A Response to CGP Grey", as a less sentimental analysis of the Queen and the English monarchy as a whole, at least in terms of economics.
Long live the Crown! (that is to say, the tv show) Can't wait for PR nightmare!
Charles has just lost his mother, so he's entitled to some grief-related anger. Not a big fan of him, but I see why he's lashing out. Sad that it's the help that gets the worst of it.
No he’s not as the public figure the king whose dead mother was a proud nazi and modern colonizer whose decisions kept the poor poor and them wealthy . The royals are humans yeah that doesn’t mean you have to pretend they don’t have the ability to grieve without insulting those you are actively harming
make the music louder, I can still hear the video on the background
Why is the take talking about the royal family? Isnt it about tv shows and movies?
The Take has always done videos on cultural events/phenomenons/people.
Because the 'royal' family is a sh!t show....that counts right? Cheating charles calling himself cowmilla's tampon, his 2 kids that hate him. He executed his wife to he can re-marry. The queen had a pedo son, and his wife was into some things....then the whole harry and meg cr@p....
good point tho
@@babsybrrrnz yup this isn't all that out of the ordinary
Yes, but they've done entire videos about Meghan Markle controversies. When not doing non-pop culture, their topics tend to be about The Royals. Or what's happening on TikTok
Had they made Andrew accept accountability & jail time for his actions & spoke out about the racism against an unborn child & a woman they who maybe have been more tolerable to deal with. But the British media, firm & Brits want us to hate Harry for doing the same thing his beautiful mother had to do after they thru her under a bus.
Oh how history repeats itself until something changes.
Hopefully it’s the monarch being turned into a subscription service for those who want to continue to bow to a flawed system & humans that are no better than any of us.
at 13.58 what is the piece of music? can yall at the take answer please
Seasons Adrián Berenguer
Abolish the monarchy.
more vids about this plz as it develops
That's because CAMILLA DAUGHTER is KING CHARLES DAUGHTER and he had told PRINCESS DIANA he didn't want PRINCE HARRY, he wanted a DAUGHTER, and HIS SIDEPEACE CAMILLA gave him the DAUGHTER HE SO BADLY WANTED, and PRINCE WILLIAM ACCEPTS HIS HALF SISTER.
agreed
You must not be on Twitter or TikTok. There was mass celebrations of QEII's death among the Irish, Welch, Scott's world indigenous and African diaspora. But the people of England and traditionalists really loved her. As am American, I don't get the idea of royalty. But I hope the people of England get what they want. Charles doesn't seem to be suited for public life.
this whole take is so weirdly pro-Monarchism. Like "Elizabeth understood her role was to not stand out but to embody something bigger than herself" Tf? She was a colonial benefactor of centuries of bloodshed and theft. Her entire empire was built on stolen wealth and she openly supported colonialism and the violent subjugation of the Crown's subjects in the early years of her life and reign. There's no "bigger" thing to embody other than the role of completely unjustifiable oppression. The brave UKers protesting her funeral were right. This is gross. It's 2022. The divine right of kings is evil and all of their stolen wealth should be returned to The People and the countries stolen from - namely, the estate and its wealth.
I wish that people who felt this strongly about foreign UK imperialism would also feel strongly about ending the purposefully hidden in plain sight American imperialism that currently still is ongoing. It’s very easy to pass judgement on the history of other countries, and hopefully more of us Americans will wake up and realize that this narrative is being amplified in the US right now in part to cause destabilization so that our government and companies will reap economic benefit. It wouldn’t be the first time we were involved in toppling foreign country’s governments and monarchies: just look at what happened to the Hawaiian monarchy.
The show made he seem more intelligent and empathetic than he actually is. His successor doesn’t seem to be better.
Her name isn't Kate; it's CATHERINE.
Yah we will just stick to Kate thanks
Ideally they'd be abolished.
