To say how similar the real Swedish royal family is to this fictional royal family, it can be said that the royal family rules and mentality hidden in the plot are almost in line with the actual situation and trend, except for the fact that the personnel composition is completely irrelevant.

First of all, in terms of rules, according to the tradition of the Swedish royal family in reality, the throne is the eldest daughter and the eldest son, regardless of gender, only strictly follow the ranking of elders and children to inherit the throne and become the heir, that is to say, as long as you are the current King (King) / Queen ( Queen's first child, you are first in line. For example, if the elder brother is not dead, he is the first in line, and he gives birth to offspring, his child will be the second in line, and William's order of succession is after all the elder brother's children.

However, now that his brother is dead, and the queen and her husband have no other children, William has become the first in line and the only heir to the throne. Under such circumstances, if he is asked to declare himself gay, then The statement that it is impossible to have children and produce offspring is equivalent to representing that the throne will not be continued. Let’s review the longevity and “legitimacy” of the royal family that the Queen and William have emphasized along the way. It can be seen that this will affect the fate of the family and even the country. A decision is indeed not a situation where you can act recklessly for your own personal interests.

If you are not careful, let alone the royal family may be directly strangled in the cradle of the times, the aristocratic system will also disappear with the elimination of the royal family, the ranking system of the entire country will be greatly changed, and the aristocrats will not agree to come up to assassinate and seize power , this category is about to change from LGBTQ to Gongdou.

Secondly, in terms of mentality, the real Swedish royal family is widely known as "the most up-to-date royal family". In addition to the current crown prince's public support for LGBTQ, the Swedish royal family is the first in the world to change the primogeniture system to the primogeniture system. The royal family, that is, from the previous tradition of passing on males but not females, has become a gender-independent inheritance system.

In addition, two years ago, the King (Carl XVI Gustaf) announced that in addition to the children of the Crown Princess Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, his other grandchildren would be removed from the tax list of the royal family, that is to say, except for the first The children of the first heir, the other grandchildren will no longer receive national taxes, and correspondingly do not have to perform royal duties (vernacular: The royal family members who are not likely to inherit the crown cannot and will no longer rely on national taxes to support themselves , they do not have to do the corresponding work of serving the people in order to get the legitimacy of the tax). Although the official explanation is that this can reduce the tax burden of the citizens, and at the same time allow members of the royal family to have more freedom to do what they want to do, in fact, we all understand that with the Internet and technology becoming more and more developed, The old historical relic of the royal family has long been forgotten by the times. How many people still believe in the rule of the royal family? Most of the royal families in the world today do not have the right to directly govern the country, and the Swedish royal family is no exception. As early as the passage of the "Government Decree" in 1974, the political rights and functions of the Swedish royal family were deprived and handed over to the parliament. and Prime Minister. Therefore, it can be understood that the reduction of the royal tax list is not only for the reasons stated by the official, but also an initiative to show goodwill to maintain the existing rights and interests.

Under such a big environment, it is not difficult to understand why the queen in the play always emphasizes the issue of "legitimacy", because in this modern society, the existence of the royal family is an unnecessary burden, and its existence makes a country external The image of the royal family has become conservative, outdated, and out of touch with the modern society, and as a result, scandals continue to appear in the royal family, which damages the image of the country (to put it bluntly, the meaning of existence of most members of the modern royal family is equivalent to the spokesperson of the national image), losing the image of the country. Citizens allow the meaning and legitimacy of their existence, and this tradition can be instantly disappeared in a society that pursues the universal value of "equality" (depending on how many votes the royal family and aristocrats control in Congress).

When the setting in the play and the reality have such a high coincidence rate, the attitude of the royal family and William's actions can be said to be understandable, not the choice made by BE for the sake of BE.
