Spare batteries are pretty key.
Replace the human royal family with a corgi royal family. This plan keeps all the tourism benefits, cuts expenses by like 2/3rds, and you get to have a royal funeral and a coronation like every 5 to 10 years.

Good news everyone! Charles is well enough to return to "Duties". What are those duties? Mostly getting out of a car and watching people in silly costumes ride horses.

I support this concept; hell, you’d get some real grief and mourning from the public. Corgis are a lot more photogenic than the royals too.

and once a year, for a special national holiday, you could have them run a little race. they could jump through hoops, run up ramps, etc. i guess you could do that with the current family but i'm not sure how it would be received.

the sea spider species Pycnogonum litorale were able to fully regenerate a number of amputated body parts from their lower body, including hind limbs, parts of their guts, reproductive organs and even their anuses.
...
it had long been assumed that sea spiders didn't possess this ability because scientists had never observed the animals doing it

i've never seen anyone regenerate their rear end in a top hat but you don't see me going around making assumptions.

She’s his living phylactery, you mark my words. If she goes, he’ll be minutes behind. And if he goes first, she’ll simply dissolve into a puddle of primordial phylactery juices and seep into the groundwater, creating more generations of Royalist weirdos across the realm.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Considering Chuck blew up his marriage and got his wife killed to get her out of the way of that, I'd hope so.

The "we need the royals for tourism" argument is such codswallop. Ya'll ever heard of Versailles or Neuschwanstein? (that castle in Bavaria.)

Those places were built by inbred monarchs, but people still visit them, despite France and Germany getting rid of their monarchy.
