1. Charles I – who was beheaded on 30 January 1649. The execution was at Whitehall in London. At the very least, the current British royal family need to be completely stripped of their titles and wealth – although there are those who think it would also be a good idea to behead, hang, or shoot them!
2. Cleopatra VII Philopator is by tradition said to have committed suicide on 12 August 30 BC by inducing a snake to give her a poisonous bite. She was following in the footsteps of her bigamous husband Mark Anthony, who topped himself after losing the Battle of Actium on 2 September 31 BC. Regardless of quibbles over the exact details of Cleopatra’s death, it marked the ultimate demise of the Pharaoh royal parasites in ancient Egypt.
3. Louis XVI – beheaded by guillotine at Place de la Révolution in Paris on 21 January 1793. This was an event that dealt a body blow to royal parasites in France.
4. Diana, Princess of Wales – who was fatally injured in a car crash in the Ponte de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris on 31 August 1997. It is unfortunate that her ex Prince Charles – current heir to the British throne – didn’t die with her!
5. Frederick, Prince of Wales – who died from a burst abscess in the lung on 20 March 1751 at Leicester House in London – nearly a decade before his scumbag father George II. There are, of course, millions around the world hoping that the arch-reactionary slimeball Prince Charles will follow in Frederick’s footsteps and drop down dead right now!
6. Nicholas II of Russia was condemned to death and then shot by Yakov Yurovsky shortly after 2.00 am on the morning of 17 July 1918. There is little in Bolshevism to be praised but getting rid of the Russian royal parasites was definitely one of its better ideas – much of the Russian royal family was shot at the same time as Nicholas II.
7. King Dipendra of Nepal – who shot himself with an AK 47 after going postal and murdering nine of his family of parasites at a house in the grounds of the Narayanhity Royal Palace on 1 June 2001. Among those Dipendra shot to death were his mother and father – King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya. Dipendra, who after shooting himself outlived his parents for three days, only got to be ruler while in a coma – making for a delightfully short reign!
8. Princess Grace of Monaco – who died in hospital on 14 September 1982, the day after suffering a stroke that caused her to lose control of her car and suffer serious injuries after it plunged down the side of a mountain.
9. George I of Greece – shot in the back by the anarchist assassin Alexandros Schinas at the White Tower in the city of Thessaloniki on 18 March 1913. Like Bolshevism, anarchism doesn’t have much to offer the working class, but Schinas’s practical opposition to monarchy and aristocracy is something with which most people will have some sympathy.
10. Queen Elizabeth II. Okay so she ain’t dead yet but there are millions of us in the UK looking forward to seeing the back of this particular royal parasite! But don’t forget kids, we still need to strip the entire British royal family of their titles and wealth!

One of the royal Stewarts blew himself up (accidentally) with his own canon as part of his coronation or wedding celebrations :-)) The canons were a gift from France :-)))

It always makes me laugh that some consider Gustavus Adolphus Magnus (AKA Gustav II Adolf of Sweden) the father of modern warfare – because he died at the Battle of Lützen when he became separated from his troops while leading a cavalry charge. What a twit!

The Queen is a clockwork doll, Princess Margaret a floozy, and Prince Charles a twerp.

“3. Louis XVI – beheaded by guillotine …. This was the event that finally put an end to royal parasites in France.”
Not true – there were three more French kings, plus a couple of Napoleons. As Leo Ferre put it:
On coupe une tete,
Par-ci, par-la,
Vingt ans apres,
Tiens vous voila.
It takes more than execution to get rid of a rotten system.

What about King Henry the VIII who died of syphilis?

Most of the secondhand book dealers I speak to tell me Prince Philip has the biggest collection of porn in the world. The British royal family are obviously a complete bunch of pervs!

I was asked what I was in a previous Life (people are usually Cleopatra et al) I said I was the flea that was inserted with a silver catheter up Henry VIII’s penis to cure him of syphilis. It did not work. even though the keeper of the stool was sure it would.

The Ptolemiec kings of Egypt had a lot of odd deaths mainly due to three hundred years of inbreeding.
