Yes, and they were eventually held accountable for shit like that, and we moved away from monarchies.

It's a sign of a really bad leader that they do this.

Or maybe it's inherent to power and the recent trend is against human nature. You cannot seriously say that this is a major concern in moving against monarchies. After all, the royals are just the most well known ones (because it involves succession). Plenty of non royal powerful people also do so.

squints really hard, looks at US president, laughs.

Maybe eventually. After they have been doing it for decades. When it’s inconvenient for folks now.

Notably, every senior woman leader I worked for had something similar going on too.
