Remember kids, if you are in line to the throne and your sibling asks you to join them on a hunting trip, just say no.
-
“James James James James James Mary Queen of Scots James”
-
I love how there’s a total of like 10 different names over the course of 1000 years
-
Everyone coming here today after the queen's death, and saying this needs an update, obviously didn't watch the last 10 seconds of the video. I think CGP Grey was planning ahead ;)
-
Prince Charles: Mum can i rule now Queen Elizabeth: no
-
"because not every child matters" The middle child: Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave
-
Looking at the royal family tree laid out like this, it's really surprising how SHORT it is. You'd think that Wiliam the Conqueror was really ancient, but there were literally only 28 generations separating him from Queen Elizabeth II...
-
If anyone's wondering how many unique names there even are, since every monarch seems to be a George, I counted: 1. William 2. Henry 3. Matilda 4. Stephen 5. Richard 6. John 7. Edward 8. Isabel 9. Elisabeth 10. Jane 11. Mary 12. James 13. Charles 14. Anne 15. Sophia 16. George 17. Victoria
-
"Hunting accident". Aye, a classic.
-
1936: You can’t marry a divorced American commoner. Prince Harry: How bout I do ANYWAYY
-
"Never fear: The rules are here." One of the quotes to remember.
-
3:48 isn’t it funny how the family tree at this point resembles the shape of Great Britain…
-
Henry VIII: “Splitter of churches... And ladies” This is my new nickname for him.
-
“Not every child matters” Schools: Write that down
-
8:25 Longest Heir apparent is no more! Though at age 73, who knows how long his reign will last :_Think:
-
And thus, this video gains sudden relevance
-
"Not every child matters" parents: secretly agreeing
-
Prince George is watching this like “damn I’m related to all these people”
-
Time for my yearly watch of every CGP Grey video
-
Came back to watch this again today, for obvious reasons.
