As someone who studies kingship and the idea of rulers to my fellow scholars who also study this stuff: why this incessant and persistent twee woobification of kings and queens?

I for one would swap friendship bracelets with Mary Queen of Scots.

She’d probably order her servant to make the bracelet for her though

Ha, I love Anne of Boleyn and Elizabeth I, but I wouldn’t want to meet them, work for them, or be their subject. I also wouldn’t want to be them.

Good points- maybe it’s based in some cases on the culture of deference which simply permeates some societies and its history -or given its Twitter it’s simply transferring those old gushing interviews with pop stars & questions like what’s your favourite colour etc

Maybe. I think the mystique of royalty evidently still excites a lot of people. But it goes beyond even treating them like celebs. This sort of treating queens like feminist icons and stuff.
