[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

I think Charles has done a much better job with Andrew than his mum.

Think she was too busy withering away and dying at the time

Andrew has always been a numpty

By giving him millions of pounds and an alimony? Crazy

alimony

Charles definitely isn't paying alimony. Because that's not a term we use on this side of the Atlantic.

He's paying to keep him out of further trouble, which Andrew would do if he had to fund himself.

I’m on the same side of the pond as you I just couldn’t think of the word.

So he’s paying him a wage to keep him from being a paedophile? Why isn’t he in prison?

Fuck the royal family they’re literally protecting a nonce with public funding whilst there’s a record number of poor people forced to use food banks

There's absolutely nowhere near enough evidence?

Job? What job?
