Kings and Queens, Princes and Paupers.
Some are born to privilege and some are born to poverty.

The poor man asks the King for bread. The Kings asks the poor man to fight his wars. To be willing to die for him.

Yet, we put them both on equal moral footing.

As children, we live in a fantasy world where we want to be a Prince or Princess, or King or Queen. We want people to cook our food and bathe our feet. We deserve it because we are superior to you.

This is the world we promote with this "royal marriage" bullshit, in my humble opinion. It's time to cut these privileged suckers loose.
