Sometimes I can understand why the french commoners thought heir rulers lived in decadence. Frugality and simplicity should have been traits every monarch should have embraced. But as always: Preaching water and drinking wine. I can only see two very known monarchs in history who can be seen as dearly frugal: George VI and his daughter Elizabeth II (I cannot speak for monarchs of the rest of the european kingdoms because I simpy dont know them that much) And to this day Imo Elizabeth II never stepped outside that box. This featured room, as a feature of rich history as it is, is totally unnecessary and really tells the tale of decadence.

Another was George III (the mad King who lost America, yes). He would've much preferred to live as a farmer with his beloved wife and unending gaggle of children. In fact, even before his "madness" he was thought weird for acting like he was simple country folk.

Do all of these items belong to the British people?

@drbolle5992 Жыл бұрын

No. All this stuff is in possession of the state. Basically it is Elizabeth II stuff.

Is it true king George invented pegging?

@ReeseJamPiece. Жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say invented, popularized maybe. All you need for it really is a long smooth object and a thing to strap it with.

Bad choice calling it "oriental" style. "Oriental" is an offensive word and you should look up the meaning behind it. Maybe choose "Asian inspired" instead.
