in a hypothetical scenario where queen elizabeth became cersei lannister, she could do whatever she wanted if she had the military at her disposal. in that case, parliament would only have a "paper shield"

Shoot the lot of them... I jest, was that treason?
It is the height of stupidity to claim that men who for a thousand years have had the power to berate us, to fleece us and to oppress us with impunity, will now agree, with good grace, to be our equals.
my mind when right there as well. is that why prince albert changed his name?

To be fair, the Anglican Church broke with Catholicism so that the King could divorce and marry again...and again...and again...
As for Edward VIII, I guess it’s a different time now, divorcing and marrying divorced people isn’t the same scandal it used to be. Which seems like a good thing to me.
Is there any valid reason for keeping the royals around? Why should the queen have a say in...anything?
How many people voted her in? None. Her qualifications can't just be "came out of the right vagina". Not in the MeToo era.

Yeah, King Edward abdicated to make the people happy and had a cigar named after him.....
Albert became George VI and led us through WW2 which caused him to die of stress...... The horror. Now we have our Liz aka Queen Elizabeth II and she's done a fine job. Chucky is next in line. George VII? Charles III? I don't know.

What are her greatest achievements? Moving speeches do not count.
Things she was only able to achieve due to being born a royal also need not apply.

For me it's like praising a celebrity worth $100 million bucks for giving 10 grand to a charity.
But okay let us remove the "nothing she did that was accomplished cuz she was born a royal" part. But the whole thing about moving speeches not being an achievement still applies.
So what did she do?
