List of current monarchies - WikipediaSay what you will about the country and monarchy, but it's darn impressive they've lasted this long. Maybe entirely due to Elizabeth, but most Western monarchies have completely dissolved. The Brits are the last to have one that people around the world actually know and somewhat care about. It's kinda interesting.
I'm pretty sure some Scandinavian countries have monarchs... nobody knows or cares about them. The next best well-known example would be the Saudis but they're not a Western society.
Maybe I'll will see the British royal family evaporate into irrelevancy in my lifetime... maybe they'd already be there if she hadn't lived so long.
The fact that he even had us IN those games gave me confidence.We were 1-4 in games decided by a TD or less last year. Pitt(L), Ole Miss(L), UK(W)and Purdue(L). That was the difference from 7 wins to 10. We were so close. For me to have confidence in Heupel going forward...he has to win those games. This game is so important for the trajectory of the season.

Not disagreeing, but just speaking to the 4-5 win expectation.So winning 7 when the expectation was 4 or 5 wasn't good enough to have confidence?

I know Japan still does.
Bhutan...of course, it's still a kingdom (on my bucket list, VERY unique place)
Britain's royal importance is directly tied to their imperialism. Not about to clap for all that jazz.
Regardless, birth right royalty is dumb in all forms and in every country. Cue the Monty Python lines
