Every since my wife dragged me to see The King's Fucking Speech I have had a deep antipathy towards the House of Hanover....which is what they were prior to WWI.

To be precise, Min, they changed their name from " Hanover-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha " to " Windsor " at the height of WW1 in 1917 to deflect anti-German feeling. Prince Philip ( the queen's husband ) held on to his real family name " Schleswig-Holstein Sonderberg-Glucksberg " right up until 1947 when it suited to change his name to " Mountbatten " ( which is actually an Anglicisation of Battenberg! ).

It is also revealing that tthe present queen is the FIRST and therefore only British sovereign to have British blood in her veins and that is due to her Scottish mother!

I too would like to see us rid of them, either dead or alive.

We did. Big Grin
During the English civil war back in the 15th century. We executed the king and some others. A few royals were forced to leave Briton or face the same fate. For a while, we were royal-less. However, we brought them back, seeing as the country became worse without them. Crap leaders, just like today.
The war was about people power over the monarchy, after brining them back, there was now a monarchy and a parliament. Been this way ever since.
Perhaps we could give it another try and remove the monarchy again.Big Grin

Actually I was meaning in the last 200 years or so.

I've wondered too Atman. We had a chance after the French Revolution but the Establishment clamped down and suppressed the merest hint of similar revolutionary actions and the moment passed, sadly.
Never know though, we might get another chance sometime in the future.

Less than a week to go now and the Establishment with the help of the mass media is into overdrive
trying to ensure a spiffing right-royal extravaganza! The usual tacky merchandise is on sale and is most popular, it seems, with foreign tourists bewitched by the trappings of monarchy.
Television commentators are marvelling at how quickly and effortlessly the Middleton gal has settled in to the role of royal bimbo. And such a charming couple who are set to regenerate the British monarchy in the 21st century ( shall I stop now..are you feeling queazy?? )
Meanwhile, back in the real world, the mass of the population couldn't give a tuppeny fuck!
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
