The myth is that Royalty, the royal life, somehow endows the individuals who live in palaces and have those titles with superior qualities, unlike ordinary people. Deep down everybody knows that they're just like everybody else, apart from the accident of birth and inheritance, but the habit of myth-making is so powerful that when Royals visibly behave like ordinary people, somehow it's brushed aside, under the royal carpet and soon forgotten.Natalie d'Arbeloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757081405040926647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746593.post-4593260183935021112021-03-11T17:33:43.222+00:002021-03-11T17:33:43.222+00:00I never heard of such a mythology anywhere, in his...I never heard of such a mythology anywhere, in history books, popular culture or you name it.
