It is easy for Elizabeth II to judge Elizabeth I. For example, diversity and inclusion are among Elizabeth Windsor’s core principles whereas Elizabeth Tudor was a racist. But we need not accept Elizabeth I’s prehistoric racial theories to find her political insights relevant. The past, without being perfect, can usefully criticise the present.

Oh God, they couldn't help themselves.

I think a monarch would be better-motivated to act in the long-term interests of his country than any elected officials.

I'll be more than happy to volunteer. It's good to be king.

I am getting a blank page, perhaps it was removed?

A good King is way better than a good democracy, the problem is succession. A King's sons are often not king material themselves.
