The ‘royals’ of UK history were mainly scoundrels. ALL of them. Murderers, backstabbers, cowards and liars.

There were probably only a handful that were decent people.....................

Thanks for the relink.

I listened to the Monty Python skit, and wondered - is it better to teach history through a book or a Python skit?

I suspect that we need both.

Not just UK history -- monarchy is not a valid form of gov't, neither is dictatorship, but both are part of the past and even the present.
