@@dmpmomof3 it’s a pain he’s only in the show for about 10 minutes

@@wabitty6610 yeah

the front row seaters probably drowned

@@vihoe 😂 I remember when he first sang, a waterfall fell out of his mouth

Yep! And 100% accurate character representation, too! 🤣

hes white too lol. bro is the most accurate visually

That was intentional too.

Also just him on stage being himself. Shows a lot of the "I AM the king" character

Costume Designer said from neck down he made everything traditional, but from the heck up he left it so it would appear more modern. All except for George. Pretty cool.

Same!

I guess King George did get the last laugh, in a manner of speaking.

Meh... I like "Next to Washington they all look small"

As I understand it, abdications have to be approved by Parliament. Edward VIII in 1936 was the only one who voluntarily gave up the throne, all others were pressured to quit or even flee the country. So George's puzzlement was extremely valid :)

@@ndemers Voluntarily, yes and no. He gave it up voluntarily, but it was because he was pressured into only one of two options laid out because of the constitutional laws the crown is bound by as both the reigning monarch and the head of the Church of England, not least of which is that a monarch must never divorce, and much never marry someone who is divorced or Catholic. (Lesser members of the Royal family can, but only in Scotland and with the monarch's permission). The two options were: leave Wallace Simpson and rule as a single man, or marry her and step down. If he could have had both Wallace and the throne, he would have, but it would have caused major disillusionments with the monarchy and no doubt brought it to an end much sooner. It was a choice, technically, but his Sophie's Choice.

@@rachelfox8108 the option of a morganatic marriage was considered, I believe, but ultimately rejected by all parties involved. There were other major religious and legal problems regarding the marriage, though, far beyond “a king cannot marry a divorced woman whose former husband was still alive” (had Wallis been divorced but with no living exes she would’ve been legally and religiously cleared to marry Edward, at least in theory).

@@PONR2006 Ah yes, I forgot the "former spouse must have passed away" detail -- it's important as then it would be the same as the person in question being a widow(er), who are technically allowed to marry into the royal family. Of course, technicalities are just the lowest bar for prospective spouses into the royal family, as even now there are rules of decorum that have to be met to maintain their reputation. I think a part of them believes that if you do away with some of the rules, it somehow disqualifies the importance of following them before, makes them fallible, and if they're fallible, then so is the royal family, and that makes them seem pointless. Part of me wonders if they permitted Harry to marry Meghan because of the pressure of the public to conform to modern, more progressive ideals, but the double-crossing from Kensington Palace, the media and other members of the family show that the marriage was never supposed to last and was supposed to be blamed entirely on Meghan. Please only take these as speculations, though, I would only claim something to be true if I could provide evidence to confirm it.

@@rachelfox8108 most rules bend to the pressure of changing times. In this particular case it was a rule of the Anglican Church meant for ALL followers of the religion. As king Edward could not be seen breaking a rule meant to apply to all Anglicans. As times changed and divorce became more prevalent I imagine there was pressure by the general Anglican population to change the rule (or just lots of anglicans disregarding it) to the point where the church itself changed it. As for Meghan, I do believe the support for the marriage from inside the royal sphere came from how it would make them look, or how it would be an inevitable step towards more progress, but that doesn’t mean it was personally well-received. We will never know, of course, unless there’s some sort of leak of personal documentation to tell us either way.

If so, who's Next?

Yeah, apparently king george tried to step down cuz he knew he was going mad but he couldn't

@@DAKRAB Really? I didn't know that. He was actually going senile, but they didn't know what it was back then so they said he was mad. Feel kind of bad for the poor guy... there was no medication, no therapy, nothing to do but sit and let his mind deteriorate.

@@queenesther09 There was medicine,but it wasn't efficient The medicine possibly made his mental state much worse than it already was (It also gave him blue urine)

It's because he's a king, so he rules for life. Washington, on the other hand, stepped down in order to let someone else run for President, so King George is obviously perplexed that a ruler would willingly step down and give up his power.

@@DAKRAB Didn’t his son take over anyway?

Her name is Ariana DeBose and she's also "The Bullet" in Hamilton :) She's freaking amazing, and yeah her hair looks really cool in this!!

Yeah everything about his performance is so clever and hilarious. My favourite part of the show 😊

Same shit, different stink.​@@MorganEdgy

@@WildLoft no, US is a country, America is a continent.

@MorganEdgy oh. I didn't realise the difference. I understand what you're saying but that's so damn confusing and weird. People living outside of that, we all just call it America, so it's weird that they named the continent and country two different things. Ive heard the country called America more then ive heard it called US. but I'm in Australia, where they're both the same name, so maybe that's why the concepts weird to me.

@@WildLoft That seems to be the case for most english speakers, which I don't blame for, but most non-english speakers find irritating. So we try to make the disctinction whenever it's possible to remind people that there are more countries in America than US and Canada. tl;dr no worries, m8. But now you know

Unlikely. In a Broadway show every single movement is scripted and rehearsed like a billion times.
