The Royal Family Tree

"There's his brother... who fucked off" I want Limmy to teach us history.

[@harold880]

Edward VIII was mates with old Adolf. Was good pals with Adolf.

[@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689]

Never struck me till seeing this how funny the terms legitimate/illegitimate are for describing kids. You got a legitimate child, a PROPER child. Then a child that isn't legitimate like its a bag of straw you've painted a face on and claim is your son.

[@christaylor3911]

Lmao

[@zzzzzz1039]

You're misunderstanding the original meaning of legitimate then. Legitimate meant legally recognized. When you understamd that, the only thing funny about this is that how little the average person understands their language.

[@fromthedumpstertothegrave3689]

@@zzzzzz1039 I forgot, language doesn't evolve. It's entirely static and was invented in its current form the moment people developed the spoken word.

[@tomfarrow6330]

So refreshing to get a non academic look at those old crones, limmy is expressing how we all think when we look at them lmao

[@MrBlackTreacle]

Don’t know why ‘pre irony’ made me laugh so much

[@cmarquino]

there was no irony in the early 20th century apparently 😭💀

[@rso823]

Then he goes to the older cunt and assumes they’re wearing the clothes ironically 😅

[@timburki456]

I laughed at "illegitimate!!"

[@Scottie444]

One of the worlds best Royal Correspondents.... Reporting live from Blahem Palace. Letting us know just how illegitimate and phoney this lot are. 🦎

[@wollybol]

Buckingblahem palace* thank you

[@heythisisminenotyours]

The queen has cousins that were put into care and reported as dead since the 1940s as they were disabled. One only died in 2014. No visitors from their family. All because they didn't want the bloodline to look tainted.

Do you have a source for that mate? Not in a you're talking shit kinda way, just sounds interesting

[@BomChickyBowWow]

Well, to be fair the royal family was absolutely not the only family to do stuff like that in those days. If you go back 100 years you’ll find similar stories in a LOT of average families all throughout Europe and America. Disabled children were often left in care because there wasn’t a fraction of the common knowledge that exists today surrounding the care of disabled people. The medical community barely knew how to do it. Imagine how little regular people knew. As with anything, there are people who do a given thing with cold blooded motives and I’m sure there were many people who gave up their kids because they were selfish, narcissistic, or too lazy to be bothered. It’s still a terrible thing, but who is to say what their motives were.

[@threadboi2300]

The idea that all facial hair these days is ironic is an astute observation that only Limmy could make.

[@lauriearnold7398]

I've learnt more about the Monarchy from Limmy than I was ever taught by the English school system.

[@colletteodonoghue5940]

The Battenbergs, they were related to The Kiplings. All exceedingly good.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

...and now in a box

[@Comedy-xo1xp]

7:29 - "Not legitimate!" ... I half-expected Limmy to follow that up with his favourite B-word.

[@ManWalksDogs]

I did, in his voice and accent, but was then surprised he didn't. i expect chat covered it amply.

Could be said about the vast majority of world leaders, really. And the vast majority of millionaires. And every single billionaire.

[@Chadgigington]

Lol, why was this actually interesting to learn about with Limmy guiding us like this?

[@acidic_magpie]

Because when we get taught about royalty in school or on TV it’s normally by people who want to shag them

[@maxwild1212]

Michael Fabricant MP must wish he'd been born about 200 years earlier. He'd have blended right in back then.

[@velvetinedrapes4359]

googled him. State of that 😂😂 what a mess

[@Kazza_8240]

Imagine being called illegitimate just because your parents weren't married, or not of the same status, nae fault of yours, but you're 'not in accordance with accepted standards or rules', the kings other weans must be raging the crown went to Victoria instead of one of his own. Its mental.

[@michaelqdlap]

illegitimate just means 'not lawful'

[@Kazza_8240]

@@michaelqdlap I know, it's just a shame that kids were not recognised by law if they had different mothers.

[@nektekket852]

Tell me about it mate, I was born "out of wedlock", and it made a difference back in the day... I tried to get a civil service job back in the seventies, and you were ineligible if you were illegitimate. Don't know about now though...

[@emmanuelgoldspleen2905]

Limmy, I've also noticed before tha' Edward VIII (David) looks a wee bit like a young Richard Attenborough. A leaner version of Richard. For sure, yep. And when you said George V is kinda like Donald Sutherland with the beard, I felt that too. Great observations of the rather nauseating House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

[@crapinabap]

“A calendars a hing ye hing on the wa’.” Cue Yankee Doodle cunfusion.

[@vollsticks]

Saxe-Coburg Gotha was the family name before it was changed to Windsor (maybe because the UK were at war with Germany at the time and it wasn't the best look).

[@Gadfly333]

Or maybe they were Nazi's too..?
