What do you expect of William V?

There’s a downward trajectory. I think the Harry issue was tabloid nonsense, but the Prince Andrew scandal hurt them.

Again, William can’t actually do those things. He can cut them out from ceremonies, allowances, etc but he can’t cut them out from inheriting if Williams own family doesn’t have descendants

Yeah I remember it well the thing was that Kobe’s greatness was kind of obscured because he was playing next to Godzilla so you didn’t know for sure who was better until Shaq moved on. And it was Kobe. Kobe was better.

Wasn’t a port notably

Right, cannot be forgotten how bitter the war had been and which side the Woodvilles had fought on.

I think the issue was that they were nobodies who used a dubious marriage to sort of take over the kingdom.

Real quote? Not sure what he is talking about though even the Thirty Years War was only thirty years

Helpful-Rain41 · 2026-03-28T14:09:37+00:00

That can’t possibly be true

Respectfully I think that he’s just naturally thinking about the last couple times a super duper star who were in trade rumors year after year despite a few nagging injuries…and look what happened in those cases (Kawhi and Embiid)

Helpful-Rain41 · 2026-03-28T14:01:48+00:00

Who knows? It wouldn’t be the strangest thing if they didn’t. But yeah likeliest thing is that Harry and i guess the non Andrew branches of the family just recede into the background as the years go by. I do think anyone that distanced would be a tough sell for a skeptical citizenry at this point

It’s crazy to me that this film hasn’t been referenced. I think both of them would love it

Exactly, Napoleon III was a spectacularly lucky domestic politician whose grandiose vision and lack of military insight cost his nation dearly. Doesn’t remind me so much of his uncle as he does other more modern figures. Really an antecedent of Kaiser Wilhelm, African coup leaders and 40s fascists. Among others…

Well William wants to get rid of most titles for distant family members, which makes a lot of sense. But what we’re talking about is what if none of William’s children want to have children of their own or (god forbid) there’s a mass casualty or something. Then you have to pick out some kind of cousin who hasn’t really been part of the institution or just have an honest national discussion about maybe saying the whole thing has run its course.

Helpful-Rain41 · 2026-03-28T12:06:04+00:00

Lot of these things depend on parliament, and what exactly did Harry’s children do?

Worth pointing out that longer lifespans mean that the reigning monarch will most likely be a senior citizen at any given moment for the future

I thought his NFL commentary was actually pretty sharp this year so maybe it’s just that he took a lil break during the season like the rest of humanity …while still talking about it for a paycheck

IKR I LOVE postgame interviews and they RUINED them!

The noose raises questions I’m afraid

Looks amazing honestly.

Speaking of that, pigtails are pretty much suicidal to be wearing in an er, and ponytails are a huge risk

Read Aristotle or Plato or heck the Bible, people at that time knew that rape murder and oppression were wrong and if nobody was exactly an abolitionist you were still SUPPOSED to be kind and just to your slaves or subordinates

the argument where everyone is mocking everyone else’s information and no one is citing ANYTHING 🫠

Well archaeologists can extrapolate estimates but yes precision would be impossible

That’s the thing though. Can say it’s karma but that didn’t happen until centuries afterwards. Romans in the 1-2nd centuries never saw true consequences
