VIDEO NOTES

The Queen's recent death has been cause for some to reignite the debate surrounding the continuation of hereditary monarchy in the UK. For some time now, I've felt that this institution is past its useby date, and I thought I would take this opportunity to explain some of the reasons why.

TIMESTAMPS

0:00 The Queen vs the Monarchy
2:52 "Royal Highness"
5:39 Arrest of protesters
7:39 Legal exemptions for the King
9:19 "But the King has no real power!"
10:10 Performative Grief and Royal Hysteria
13:51 Be aware of what the monarchy represents
14:56 Can we at least stop obsessing over the monarchy?
