Remember kids, if you are in line to the throne and your sibling asks you to join them on a hunting trip, just say no.

I love how there’s a total of like 10 different names over the course of 1000 years

Everyone coming here today after the queen's death, and saying this needs an update, obviously didn't watch the last 10 seconds of the video. I think CGP Grey was planning ahead ;)

Looking at the royal family tree laid out like this, it's really surprising how SHORT it is.
You'd think that Wiliam the Conqueror was really ancient, but there were literally only 28 generations separating him from Queen Elizabeth II...

If anyone's wondering how many unique names there even are, since every monarch seems to be a George, I counted:
1. William
2. Henry
3. Matilda
4. Stephen
5. Richard
6. John
7. Edward
8. Isabel
9. Elisabeth
10. Jane
11. Mary
12. James
13. Charles
14. Anne
15. Sophia
16. George
17. Victoria

"Never fear: The rules are here."

One of the quotes to remember.

3:48 isn’t it funny how the family tree at this point resembles the shape of Great Britain…

I feel so bad for the children who were supposed to inherit the crown but "went mysteriously missing"

the saddest thing I've ever heard:
"Queen Anne, who also didn't produce any heirs...she was pregnant 17 times"
that's heartbreaking

The Royal Family (beginning with Matilda) are related to the previous Anglo-Saxon monarchs (back to Alfred the Great) through Henry I’s wife who was Matilda of Scotland, she was a descendant of Aethelred the Unready’s granddaughter.
