Its fair yes, he should pay taxes. Royalty is a travesty in any country. I dont know shit about him nor i care anyway, but its ridiculous. Monarchy is elected by whom?

approval rating means shit when it comes to this families, they sure know how to sell themselves to their countries.

Just pay fair taxes man.

I bet the orcs say the same thing about Aragorn.

RM cannot resist a hot take about a recently deceased royal

Thats a hot take?

Norway actually had a democratic election voting his family in as head of a monarchy, over getting a republic. This was in 1905, and his family was not in power at the time.

Since then we could have removed them anytime we wanted, but their popularity/approval rating has always been sky high. Now a nation mourns a good man, who worked tirelessly 300+ days a year, even in his 89th year.

They are not the actual rulers of our country (except in some minor formalities), but more like ambassadors, and they do a great job.

Worked tirelessly 300 days a year ? 65 days of vacations and not a single tax pay. Mmm. Election in 1905?

Ill watch the Netflix series, so we wont forget why royalty is so important in 2026

You don't have weekends? There are 261 days in a standard year and 262 days in a leap year without counting weekends. The man was 89. He could have done far less, and no one would have blamed him.

Anyway, I know you'll never change your opinion on anything, no matter how little you know about it.

All I wanted was to give thanks to a good man, that sadly passed away. A nation mourns.

He is actually featured in a few movies and series, played by actors. The King's Choice, Atlantic Crossing , The Commoner, to name three off the top of my head.

Anyway i respect your mourning because its yours, and thats beyond any argument. I wasnt even talking about him but to what royalty means in 2026, not trying to offend you.
