Is Edward still alive, I feel like I haven't seen or heard about him in decades. I actually had a conversation with someone recently who (claimed) not only had never heard of him but didn't believe he existed - a British person I hasten to add.

I only know about Edward v vaguely cause my granny used to go on about how he was a closet case. Couldn’t pick him out of a lineup tho, same goes for most of these and I’m p sure that’s not unusual

Literally the only thing I remember about Edward is the reference to him in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Can’t picture his face (if he even has one or exists)

Edward is like the Palace equivalent of Addams Family's The Thing - but without any fingers. Just some diaphanous shape with no features or presence that even his mum can't remember birthing.

my important critical claims for this show are all on the corgis thread, i can't be bothered to port em over (also i haven't watched any of s3 yet)
tl;dr it's abt "duty vs the ones who fuck" -- the latter are relatable (or they were in the 50s, less so now obv) and so the former destroy them, except the former also cause them

I think some Americans are fascinated by British royalty because our own have proven to be so lackluster. I mean even the buzz generated by the late addition of Kanye has kinda fizzled out at this point.

theory: Prince Charles is a similar personality to Tony Benn in a lot of ways - in the later diaries Benn is forever coming up with plans and reports for how various problems could be solved, various institutions reformed and trying to press them into the hands of influential people in a way that reminds me of Charles and the black spider memos - this impression of frustration that they can't run things themselves, but coupled with untiring enthusiasm for their particular causes. I can imagine Charles looked on Benn's success in renouncing his peerage with envy - this impression that if only he wasn't cursed by being their heir to the throne then he'd be free to advocate for all his brilliant ideas without restraint. There's a bit in the diaries of Benn's personal friend and one-time political ally Chris Mullin where Mullin meets Charles and goes on at length about what a great guy he is, a serious thinker who is unfairly maligned, which seems a bit odd at first, but I think Charles reminds him of Benn. Maybe someone could write a novel set in an alternate timeline version of the 1980s where Charles becomes king and Benn becomes PM.
