You think the current Royal Family has problems?  Well, British history shows a lot worse.   Let me start with three King Charles. Charles I was born in 1600 and king from 1625 to 1649...when he was executed.  The monarchy was also abolished. His son Charles II was born in 1630, became king of Scotland in 1649, then when the monarchy was restored, became king of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1660.  Reigned until 1685. Of course Charles III is now the King, I now jump to Queen Mary II, because the ship I'm on is named after her. Was born in 1662 as the niece of King Charles II. The eldest daughter, a younger sister Anne, was born in 1665.  Both became queens. Mary 2 at the age of 15 married her cousin William of Orange in 1677. They jointly became King and Queen of Great Britain in 1689. Mary 2 endowed the formation of William and Mary College in Virginia. But she died of smallpox at the age of 32, and William III ruled until 1702. Next Anne. She married Prince George of Denmark,
