It is hard to discern right now, between royal blood lines, dark vs. light, spiritual awareness vs. allowing a royal to depart with some dignity in tact. Should I view the royal as a Captain Hook character, trapped within their dreadful role, allowed to keep the wig to cover a balding head, but still able to lunge with a sword if they so foolishly choose? Do they naturally tend to exploit their subjects or do they actually fear God and somehow lead with a sense of decency and dignity? These thoughts have permeated my day... I think I have more questions than answers still.

All good questions. All puppets, ultimately.

The psychological integrity of her subjects is paramount.
