[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People don’t venerate monarchies like they did during Diana’s time, especially the ones with colonial excesses. Times are changing.[/quote]

No one cares about "colonial excesses" except perhaps you.

People also forget Diana's popularity was actually waning sharply in the last year or so of her life when it became clearer she was running around with a drug addled playboy. Her life was only getting messier and messier post divorce. The early death was her saving grace, in a way. [/quote]
Yeah no one cares except the countries trying to escape the Commonwealth. No one cares, which is why the Dutch king recently apologized for his country’s role in slavery. Sure, no one cares.  :roll: [/quote]

Any country can leave the Commonwealth if they wish. "trying to escape" is an odd way of putting it. Some countries have left. The UK has no hold over these countries.

You are aware that the history of Europe is thousands of years old and monarchies date back to the late antiquity? The 19th to early 20th century period of colonialism is a blimp in the tide of history. And there are plenty of cruel, nasty, brutal, oppressive monarchs in other party of the world (including African chiefs who gleefully ran their side of the slave trade?) and plenty of non European empires and kingdoms and extensive slavery?

The irony is that the last time an English monarch declared to his people he was going to out and conquer was during the medieval era when the English crown occupied a good chunk of France...[/quote]
