Good riddance. Hope it was long and painful. May all "royalty" meet the same fate, sooner than later.

Vaccine victim?

Royalty isn't the only form of tyranny, and arguably they are more accountable. In the US we have royalty in the form of central bankers, media owners, and the deep state. All unaccountable to the people and most are anonymous. In a monarchy at least you know who is fucking you.

Yes. It's not just the top royalty, or the barons and dukes and the hierarchy, but it's the entire establishment that props them up.
