We are not amused.
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Kings are not born: they are made by universal hallucination.
Royalty has always been an unconscious but all-consuming goal of my life.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.
Royalty is completely different than celebrity. Royalty has a magic all its own.
The higher the title, the less the freedom.
A man who is not a Liberal at sixteen has no heart; a man who is not a Conservative at sixty has no head.

Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions.
I am every inch a king.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
The king must die so that the country can live.

To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.
Monarchs ought to put to death the authors and instigators of war, as their sworn enemies and as dangers to their states.
