Her Royal Heilness

[Caliga]

Frederick II would have lasted about a week in her job before killing himself conquering Europe.

[The Brain]

Which Frederick II? The fag deserter?

All you need to conquer Europe these days is a sternly worded letter so maybe so 

[Valmy]

Which Frederick II? The fag deserter?

Either one works. The famous ones at least, I am sure there are dozens of Frederick IIs.

Lack of intellect or ability are actually pluses in her job. You don't want somebody who might accidentally say an independent thought and trigger a political backlash.

Naw, it takes a lot of skill and nuance to influence policy without officially influencing policy.  Think about her trip to Ireland as an example.

I like to think of him as a the gayest conqueror since Alexander.

While he was a fine King I think the entire known world is more impressive than Silesia. No offense to Silesia I am sure it is lovely.

Huh you make a compelling point. I guess I figured anybody of skill or ambition would eventually snap and start calling her politicians morons or something.

Heh I saw this "news" item and my immediate thought was 'Vipes must be delighted'. 

and you guessed right!

Though it is pretty much insignificant.  I must have done this myself around that age.

Somebody gave me a Confederate kepi when I was a kid and I wore it all the time. So that might be a tad embarrassing if somebody dug that up once I was made King of England.

'Hey that could be a gray kepi from any army!'

I think it'd be awesome to live under a capable absolute monarch but those days are long gone.

I think some of your ancestors just turned in their grave

Are you referring to my many ancestors who fought in the American Revolution?  If so they didn't live under a capable absolute monarch either before or after the war.

In fact they moved to the New World to protest Parliament not bowing to the wise rule of Charles I. True story
