I have tried to care about the British royal family. I will politely humor my friends who babble on about them. But I just can’t do it, I read too much about the history of the monarchy when I was younger and there simply aren’t enough arbitrary executions or locking people in towers anymore.

Even though fans were disappointed with later efforts ("Manifest Destiny," "Gilded Age" & "Late Capitalism" were all roundly and rightly panned), almost all agree that the USA's debut album, "Fuck These Fucking Crown-Wearing Pieces Of Shit Right Into The Atlantic" sounds as fresh today as ever.

The Royal family never seemed that impressive to me. Like why are they important again?

Perhaps they could taper off royalty slowly. Have a Vetinari figure or two, and gradually transition to the ordinary old Prime Minister.

Slow decline since Edward III. They should really invade France. For the ‘Gram.

I read Mark Twain put physical representations of all the British Monarchs in order on his driveway to help his kids memorize them. That was too much even back then .

Pretty sure Kate is currently imprisoned in a tower.

There's no massive vanity projects, incest, or random catastrophic wars in the latest seasons. Why am I even renewing my subscription?

When the IRA got Mount Batten in the Crown and I felt a surge of pride is when I knew I should probably ignore them

Outside of the press, who actually cares about the day-to-day goings-on of the royals? Who are these people who go on about Kate Middleton theories?

I like Kitty Kelly's book on them. It's dishy and probably half made up and pure trash gossip. It's fun

*Honestly* If we have to still have farcical bullshit like kings and queens, they should at least have the decency to be an absolute spectacle for me to be entertained by.
