Progress, of a sort. How does anyone who would consider themselves a feminist, or a progressive, support such a system? Imagine if the previous queen had a twerp of a brother, 20 years her junior, who pulled wings off of flies…. He would’ve been our king for the last 70 years. I guess it was good that it was E the 2nd…. But, now we’ve got Chucky III.
If we’re lucky, maybe they’ll let the pervert, Prince Andrew, back into doing some princely duties…. I guess sex with underage girls isn’t enough to get you excommunicated from that family…
