(history) whenever people try to talk up the modern royal family as 'shocking' because oh gosh divorces!! Or whatever it is this time. I sometimes just want to be like, does anyone remember that time one dude cut off two of his wives heads?
A divorce? Scotland isn't on fire, again, and no one has tried to commit genocide on the Irish. I think, I think this barely even rates on the scale of shit that happens in the royal family.
Also, if I see one more article that some how forgets the context of the royal family when they oh my God all these stupid rules Megan markle or whoever has to follow now, how ristricting!!!
Honestly that is one thing I always wanted to do with play historical characters of that position is not to like make them sympathetic but making a point how BULLSHIT their lives are
the way you played Elizabeth always reinforces that btw
