I don't like monarchies. I don't like kings, queens, princes, princesses -- none of it. It's a rigged system. It puts a random person on the top, gives them everything, and expects them to behave -- and in my experience, it almost never works out.
Leading a nation is the most difficult job I can imagine. It's like being a parent, but instead of just one soul, you're in charge of ... everyone. Monarchies expect me to trust that leadership to fate. No. I did once. I never will again.
But.

I don't know you, or what you specifically did. If you tried to do right, I can only trust that it's true. I suppose your behavior here will bear that out.
