A quotation from Montesquieu

For it is clear that in a monarchy, where the person who executes the laws holds himself above them, less virtue is required than in a popular government, where the person who executes the laws is aware that he himself is subject to them and that he will feel their weight.

[Car il est clair que, dans une monarchie, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix se juge au-dessus des loix, on a besoin de moins de vertu que dans un gouvernement populaire, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix, sent qu’il y est soumis lui-même, & qu’il en portera le poids.]

Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 3, ch. 3 (3.3) (1748) [tr. Stewart (2018)]

Oh please.

Royal life lessons: don't be an entitled pedo and get a grip on reality.

Also: *SO* cruel to inherit millions and be, quite literally, King/Queen/Princess of the world.

Standing in line at Tesco would be *SO SO* much better. As their mother, Kate, an actual commoner would know and did everything she could to GTFO.

Abolish the Monarchy! For a Socialist Republic

The Royals Enabled Andrew and Epstein’s Abuse

This arrest comes after years of Andrew being protected by the monarchy, including reportedly receiving millions of pounds from the personal fortune of Elizabeth II to pay an out-of-court settlement to Virginia Giuffre. His arrest was only won in the face of overwhelming public outrage.
