Question

The differences between the monarchy in the past and in the present?

Answer 1

The british royalty is a weird mixture. The queen is of german descent from both the house of mountbatten and windsor as I understand it and phillip is greek. On a whole if you research the history of british royalty it is one of babarism.! Wales, Scotland and Ireland were stolen by savage brutality by the ancestors of today's royal family. I'm Welsh myself and I can tell you we had a royal family before there was a britain so to speak. King Arthur for one was Welsh. edward the 1st ordered the last Welsh Prince Llewellen beheaded and bestowed the stolen title on his nephew. That title is still unethically and immorally used by the british princes to this day.None of them have anything to do with Wales. The same fate happened when elizabeth the 1st ordered Mary Queen of Scots beheaded and everyone who has seen Brave heart knows what happened to Scottish hero William Wallace. The british royals have nothing to be proud of, they are not democratically elected, never work a day in their lives and are totally apathetic to the plight of the struggling to survive uk poorer and working classes.!

Answer 2

The media.  The media has given us greater access to the Royal Family.  Unfortunately, it has a tendency to spill all it's secrets too.  In the past, the media had reverence toward the Royal family and would never write negative things about them.  Times certainly have changed.

Answer 3

If we take the past to mean in the past 100 years, (which is more reasonable), and Royalty to mean the British Monarchy, then I will say the biggest change is the amount of openess.  I would never have imagined how much more open the Monarchy is compared to when I was a child.

I think the next generation, be it Charles or William, will be even more open.

Answer 4

I suposse that you're talking about the british monarchy, so I answer about this.

in the middle age and also in the reinassence and in some countries later, the monarch had all the power. in some countries the kings had a court of noble people that help him in his work. the british had the parlament, the spanish Las Cortes, the french L'Etats Genereles, the austrians the imperial court....

Now, the parlament, Las Cortes.... are formed by people that the people choose (except the Chamber of Lords in Britain) and they have more power. Officialy the monarch is still invulnerable and the parlament only help him. but really the parlament make all the things
