Ya know. When I was a kid, I was horrified reading a reveal in a book where the queen was actually a corpse that was being puppeted around to hold off a succession war.

Every once in a while I think about it again

This also fits the times we live in alarmingly well—because of the absurdity of it all. Well, it’s hardly surprising, given that we’re seem to be heading back toward the dark ages with its anti-progress monarchs who would rather see the world burn than relinquish any of their power. I think today’s billionaires are very much in that tradition.
