I edited it once again, so if you like feel free to quote it. Archie is the 7th in line to the throne currently, just a small correction. I understand '74th in the for the throne' was sarcasm, but nevertheless, every major event in the UK, big or small, fills me with national pride. Don't ask why. It just does.

Britain doesn't have a good history with Republicanism. Specifically, it has one of the worst histories with republicanism. There's a reason why so many Brits are still monarchists (or at least, supportive of the Royal Family). To be fair, neither do I (or my people).

I'm not even sure you can call eleven years in the mid-17th century a history, anyway.
