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.
-
Prince Charles: Mum can i rule now Queen Elizabeth: no
-
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 ;)
-
“James James James James James Mary Queen of Scots James”
-
"Hunting accident". Aye, a classic.
-
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
-
No, this is incorrect. Queen Elizabeth II will outlive every human in history and reign until the heat death of the universe
-
“Not every child matters” Schools: Write that down
-
"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…
-
"because not every child matters" The middle child: Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave
-
the saddest thing I've ever heard: "Queen Anne, who also didn't produce any heirs...she was pregnant 17 times" that's heartbreaking
-
8:25 Longest Heir apparent is no more! Though at age 73, who knows how long his reign will last :_Think:
-
The Royal Family (beginning with Matilda) are related to the previous Anglo-Saxon monarchs (back to Alfred the Great) through Henry I’s wife who was Matilda of Scotland, she was a descendant of Aethelred the Unready’s granddaughter.
-
i'm gonna pretend like i understood all of this
-
"Not every child matters" parents: secretly agreeing
-
And thus, this video gains sudden relevance
-
Time for my yearly watch of every CGP Grey video
